Marcus was pleasantly surprised that the Malfoy recognized him, whatever that meant. "Yeah," He nodded, stopping and looking back at the other man. "Thanks," He added. Somehow Marcus wasn't as flattered anymore as he used to be when someone complimented how he played, he wasn't sure why. Maybe because he heard too many compliments to believe them all or because he was fully aware that he deserved them for being a great player? Well it didn't matter right now.
"Did he say that?" Marcus had to grin, sometimes back at school he had thought Malfoy was just talking to him because Marcus was the captain and he wanted on the team, not because Draco liked him very much, or liked him at all. "It’s always a pleasure to hear that you're respected." he said, not completely serious because he didn't quite believe it.
