Meddling verse once again; back to Roach POV! Johnny boy suddenly seems to be showing an interest in the omegas Mam brought home snips happen in this order, but aren't consecutive like the previous #Ghoap #09Ghoap #snippetsaturday (yes i know it's sunday shhh)

Iona bristles further when the young girl wanders over to Roach's side.

"Whit happent te yer face?" she asks, green eyes big and curious.

Before any of the adults can say anything, Roach writes his reply, showing it to her with a grin.

{Fought a dragon.}

The next several minutes are spent with Aurora ("Ye can caw me Rory, aw ma friends do!") sitting beside him as he relays the tale. Roach used to baulk when anyone - especially children - asked about his scarring, because it's not like he could tell them the truth. The dragon story is something Ghost had helped him come up with during the first few weeks at the Omega House. It's changed over time, becoming more and more ridiculous as they embellished it.

Having to use his little whiteboard is painfully slow, and he wishes Ghost were here to interpret instead.

Then again, with the way Iona keeps eyeing Roach, maybe it's for the best that he's not.

While Neil fetches a plate for him, John glances between his mother and Roach, "Where's the other one?"

"Ghost wisna feelin up fer meetin awbudy jist yet," Lorna replies neutrally.

John's nose wrinkles, "Whit kind of name is Ghost?" With a small snicker, Roach unintentionally draws attention to himself, the alpha's brow arching, "And ye, whit's yer name then?"

So much for not having to use his board during supper. Neil returns, setting John's serving in front of him, as Roach finishes writing.

He turns the board for John to see, {I'm called Roach.} The suspicious way John eyes him makes Roach want to squirm, but he simply sets his whiteboard aside and resumes eating. Thankfully, the alpha says nothing, turning instead to his own meal.

The rest of supper passes without incident - mostly. Blair does throw some peas at one point, but that's normal for toddlers, really. Made the dogs pretty happy at least.

{What do you want to know?}

The alpha considers him for a moment, "How old are ye?"

Reasonable enough. {Almost 30.}

"An yer friend? How old's he?"

Narrowing his eyes, Roach keeps his reply short, {Older than me.} If this guy is hoping he'll spill some secrets, he's dead wrong - especially when it comes to Ghost.

"Peculiar bloke," John remarks, "What's his deal with the-" he motions to the lower half of his face, "He fight a dragon, too?"

{Ask him.} Gritting his teeth, Roach waits for him to get a hint.

"Much rather talk to ye," the man smirks, "Ye seem better at conversation, an much prettier, too."

The flirtation makes Roach freeze, discomfort and unease roiling in his stomach.
