"I will be retired by then," Esteban said with a chuckle. He was not too concerned about Mateo possibly surpassing him someday. He would welcome it, if he was being honest. He supposed he would be a coach, maybe for Puddlemere even if Thom Pettigrew was inclined to keep him on. He was reaching the age of retirement but was not going to stop playing just yet.

"Yes, they did quite well," Esteban said. He was lightly bitter but he was determined to be the face of support in front of this man. After all, some Harpies would be playing for them. "We have a couple on our team. You will see their skill for yourself."
