Darius couldn't help sighing, "It really does," Thinking how much has changed since graduating, "Honestly, I'm pretty excited. Since getting my kids a couple years ago, it's gotten easier balancing raising them and Quidditch. Now I feel I got enough time to spare with them starting school," But he didn't want to risk boring his friend over his parental challenges. Especially, with that offer that got Darius curious if perhaps the sun was heating his face, "..Now that's an offer I can't refuse," Usually, he was the tease but now he found his brain in lock, in a good way.

But his gaming instincts returned at the sound of the ball making contact in his direction, "Well, with a strong head like yours, I know you got this. You got time to work that all out," Darius said as the ball reached his foot. They were barely in their mid-twenties, and wizards like them had more time to spare. His own career had a time-limit as well but there were always other options that he could figure out later. Returning with another kick, "Maybe you can share with me how those heads keep you witty over dinner later?" Last he recalled, his parents had been wanting more time with his boys again.

Truthfully, professional sports wasn't something that had been entirely off of his radar, considering he enjoyed being active. But ... "Never played in school or anything so never had a chance to be scouted. Besides, don't teams usually want some experience? Not sure how much oomph playing with friends at the pitch would give a resume." Which was the biggest reason he'd never even tried to pursue the idea. "I dunno, maybe I could try out for a mascot position and work my way into a team's good graces. But frankly, I get pretty defiant being shouted at so maybe it's better off." Though getting so spend more time around Darius and the players he'd come to admire would have been quite an experience.

Daire smiled a bit at the sigh, especially when the words immediately following it showed the other male wasn't downtrodden about the start of the season - just probably as surprised as he by how quickly time seemed to pass. Which.. speaking of? "How old are the boys now? School already seems like a wild thought. How you feel about them starting that rite of passage?" Darius need not concern himself with boring Darius. When he liked the company, no topic was a risk of that - and he happened to enjoy today's company a good deal. Daire smirked a bit at the expression at his offer, and did he spot a hint of red to his friend? He threw a wink his way. "Just doing what I can to help a mate."

A bark of laughter escaped him at that statement. "I think it's my hard head that could be the probably. At least, my mum certainly seems to think that's what's in my way." But he appreciated the vote of confidence. While Daire himself was comfortable with his current mediocrity, it was also nice to know that those whose opinion he held in high regard didn't find him an embarrassment. With the ball returning his way again, Daire jogged to his right this time, stopping it just in time to send it back with a lock from the inside of his foot. When the question registered, he paused his movements and let his smirk grow even wider. "Futbol in the park and a dinner offer? Careful Mr. Potter, I might start to think you're hitting on me."
