They were answering one another, in a manner of speaking.
I hadn't considered the significance of Maurice making Alec captain and Alec putting Maurice higher up than he asked. I appreciated they played together as a kind of mini-team against the world during the game itself but nothing further.
I agree with both of you that Alec had the rather pressing concerns of his employment to think about, which Maurice doesn't. Though Alec is very sweet and generous about Maurice getting more sleep and not having to get up, he certainly doesn't resent having to go to work.
I expect you're right about the peccadillo, it seems an odd word to use though because of its more salubrious interpretations.
