He easily caught it.

"A game of catch, then?" he asked, but he was already throwing it back over to her.

[motherofthesun]

She woofed and tapped it with her nose, knocking the ball back to Kid soon enough.

[perfectorder]

Or perhaps more like volleyball? Seeing the ball bounced back to him in such a fashion made him automatically bring his arms together to hit it back with his wrists to return the ball right back at her.

[motherofthesun]

Again, she paddled to get underneath the ball and knocked it back. See? So much fun!

[perfectorder]

Yes, he would have to admit this was...fun. He returned the ball again, though this time he tried to make it harder for her to get it, aiming a little farther out from where she was.

[motherofthesun]

Oh gosh she can't move that fast through water! She's not Nuregami after all. The ball hit the water before she can reach it, but it's back in the air soon enough, soaring over to Kid.

[perfectorder]

"One point for me," he said with a bit of a grin before he returned the ball back toward her.

Again making it difficult for her.

[motherofthesun]

Ha! But she's ready this time and knocks it up higher, making its falling point a little harder to determine.

[perfectorder]

Oh he had this. He had this.

Until some random kid swam in front of him, making him have to abruptly stop and kind of flail so as not to lose his balance since he was kind of wading on the ramp and you know ramps are kind of slippery. But it wouldn't matter since the ball landed a little further than where he thought it would have been.

[motherofthesun]

Amaterasu just floats there, a wide grin as she pants with mirth. Well, well, that's one point for her now, isn't it?

"Arf!"

[perfectorder]

"Yes, I know," he said in a half dry voice as he retrieved the ball. But while they could do this all the time...

The nearby basketball hoop caught his eye.

"How good is your aim?"

[motherofthesun]

Again, she chuckled, but then paused at his question, tilting her head. How was her aim? It was pretty good. Why?

[perfectorder]

He then turned toward the nearby basketball hoop and threw the ball.

Swish.

Perfect.

"Think you can knock it in there?"

[motherofthesun]

... Huh, that seemed simple enough.

She woofed. She could give it a shot... hehe.

[perfectorder]

He swam over to retrieve the ball, a few people who had been in the area moving away once they realized that two gods were going to use it.

Once he had the ball, he remained on that side since it would be easier to retrieve it if he was already there.

"Here!"

And then he passed the ball to her.

[motherofthesun]

She shifted high enough out of the water to 'catch' the ball with her muzzle and level it with her. So, how to get the ball in the hoop thing. She twisted it this way and that, finally getting it up on her nose. Okay... okay, she can do this.

[perfectorder]

It was definitely a challenge, one that he was curious to see if she could do it. Maybe he would need to throw it to her so that she could bounce it back...?

But she seemed to be working something out.

[motherofthesun]

She nudged and bounced it, glancing over at the hoop again before knocking it over. It hit the backboard, but missed the hoop. Whoops.

[perfectorder]

Well it was close.

"Maybe you should try hitting it back when I pass it."

[motherofthesun]

When he passes it back? Oh! She gets it!

She nodded, looking eager to try.

[perfectorder]

He nodded.

"Here it comes."

And with an expert pass, he sent the ball her way at an angle that she should hopefully be able to hit it back all right.

[motherofthesun]

She watched the ball soar closer and closer until finally, she could bump it with her nose. She knocked it over to the hoop again. Closer, but not yet as it tumbled over the rim.

[perfectorder]

Seeing it tumble, he quickly leaped up high enough to knock it into the hoop before catching it.

"That was closer," he said with a reassuring grin.

[motherofthesun]

She huffed and paddled around, waiting for him to toss again. She was anxious to make a hoop.

[perfectorder]

Seeing her anxious brought a small amused smile.

"Here," he called out before passing the ball again, making sure to aim it so that it was a direct line from where he stood beneath the hoop to Amaterasu.

Maybe the trajectory of his own passes may help her.
