The other man had said something. He seemed friendly enough. He'd never heard anything about Grimstone being a arse, but then again he'd never heard a word about the man being taller than the door-frame either. Declan shook himself just in time to catch the question that was offered up. Oh. Oh how embarrassing. He'd been caught staring.
He cleared his throat as his ears reddened, "Er.. yeah. S'fine. Are you uh... are you Mr. Grimstone?" Had he been aware that Elias also had a brother, he would have used his full name. In the quidditch world, a Grimstone broom was well-known and coveted by the local teams. Couldn't get much more local than a broommaker in Hogsmeade for a Hogsmeade player.
Unable to restrain himself, he found the next few words tumbling out anxiously, "Y'see, I need a broom — not jus' any broom, I need one that's bloody fas'."
