That man?

Sitting at the piano?

Playing a light, jazzy tune?

Doesn't look like he could be any happier. The same goes for the dog by his feet.

If you're watching his hands closely, you may spy a gold band on the fourth finger of his right hand.

[ ooc; Yeah, I've been neglecting this pup. I'm going to be a little laggy, but I will be tagging back. ]

Comments

It's actually the first thing Byers notices when he strolls over, and he promptly goes wide-eyed.

"Roger! Is that -- ?"

[roger_ratcliff]

Roger beams, and holds up his right hand proudly, keeping his left on the keys.

"Hullo, John. And yes, it is. I - I haven't told you about Anita yet, have I?"

[notanarc]

"No!" he says, grinning widely. "Oh, congratulations. That's wonderful."

[roger_ratcliff]

Pongo (having only just woken up), barks.

"Thank you," Roger nods, right hand back on the piano.

"I'm not sure how long it's been since I've been in here, bar time wise, but it's been about three months on the other side of the door until it showed up today. Which is -- feels sort of odd." He shrugs at this point. "But anyhow. Anita's absolutely lovely. Coincidentally, she owns a dalmatian as well - Perdita. But, oh, I really couldn't be happier."

There is a Luke, hanging out awkwardly nearby to listen. He doesn't want to interrupt (and he doesn't really have anything to say if he did), but he does want to listen.

But there's probably only so long he can stand there before he gets noticed. Or something knocks into him, whichever's first.

[roger_ratcliff]

BOOM.

And there is a Pongo onna Luke.

Roger laughs delightedly, waving with his right hand.

"Luke! It's been a while - how've you been?"

[born_running]

Luke is getting used to this sort of greeting. Welcoming it, even. Certainly getting better at bracing himself for impact, at least.

"I'm all right," he says, happily greeting Pongo back with pettings as his eye catches on the shiny gold ring on Roger's finger. "That's a wedding band."

Unless, of course, the mun is slightly off.

[roger_ratcliff]

The mun is completely right.

Roger's reaction is something like this:

:D

"It is!" he says proudly, as Pongo sets about licking Luke's face.

"Just two months ago."
