She'd need to offer if the man continued on like this. That was the plan, anyway.

"Miss MADDIE." He'd want to remember that. "Maddie Cooper, Sir. I just wanted to come down and introduce myself. Didn't have much of a chance to meet the LAST groundskeeper." Oh, a smile would work nice here, right? And so the twelve year old smiled sweetly at the strange man, hoping that he wasn't some kind of WEIRDO who was going to cook her for dinner. She was SURE she'd read a muggle story about a woman in a hut-like thing doing THAT to children.

...She then wondered what she'd taste like. Probably chocolate.
GULP.

Maddie Cooper. Archie somehow figured that this would be a name to keep a record of, given her immediate comment about the LAST groundskeeper. He didn't want to think about THAT, thank you very much. His eyes widened a bit, "Well... how... mm... lovely it is to meet you, Miss Ma... Cooper." The man straightened up his posture and lifted his head up just to make himself look a little bit taller. It was an authority thing. Archie didn't even realize he was doing it.

"Luckily, I'm hoping to be sticking around much longer than the last groundskeeper, and..." Awkward pause. "Any... groundskeepers before as well. Hopefully." Unless, of course, something took him away in the night down the Forbidden Forest. Archie let out a very short and nervous chuckle.

"Haven't you got, errrr, homework to be getting on with today, Miss Cooper?" That felt like a staffish to say.

He was having a good look around, when a movement caught his attention. Thank Merlin he's got fast reflexes, because he caught the puppy just in time. Momo-- his own dog back home was like that too. Jumping and farting at the same time. Yup. "Hello, bud!" Ethan carried the pup, stroking its head as he looked for a nice chair to settle in. Mr. Millard didn't offer any seat yet, so he'll just keep on standing as he waited for his tea. "Yes please." he likes his drink sweet, actually.

"Have you met Professor Botros, sir? He's got a crup named Feo." he said as he looked at the man preparing their tea. "He and Rolo should meet up some time." Ethan felt bad for Feo because he's stuck inside the old man's office most of the time. Botros would often ask the students to take his own pet for a run.

Yes.

A freaking run around the castle grounds. Hallways even, if the weather doesn't permit them to be outdoors.
Archie turned just for a moment to see what havoc Rolo was putting Ethan through. Thankfully, he was acting more excited than he had in months. Huh, maybe the pup got bored of Archie. Whatev. He smiled a bit at their interaction before turning back around to add the sugar and milk to both of their teas. 'Cause you know, Archie needed a new cuppa, too.

AHEM.

Once he was done, he fumbled around for his wand and gave it a quick wave over his shirt to clear up the mess. "I think he likes you." He commented as he brought the tea towards the table and chairs. "Please, take a seat." Had he forgotten to say that? Archie sat down, too, and tapped his knees.

"Professor Botros?" He squinted one eye and tapped his chin thoughtfully, "Yes, I... must've seen him at the feast." Of course he would have. They were all there. "Oh?" That was kinda exciting. DOGGIE DATES, EHEHEHEHEHE. "We'll have to stop by his office one day, then!" He and Rolo, that is. Archie wondered what Anastasia would say about him dragging his dog through the castle, and soon thought against it.

"You have any pets, kid....?" What was his surname again? Archie could apparently only remember that it began with an M by this point, and it felt far too casual to call him ETHAN on their first meeting. He just trailed off and looked at the boy curiously.
