Rinoa nods, picking up a little ball she had brought along.]
Like this. Angelo!
[She whistles to get her attention, shaking the ball to indicate what they were gonna do. Angelo abandons Serph again to come over and stand at the ready.
Turning around, Rinoa lobs the ball down the field, watching as Angelo takes off after it. Not even half a minute later, she trots back, ball in mouth, and drops it at Rinoa's feet. For something that had to run quite a distance to and fro, she looks rather pleased.]
[Serph watches carefully. So... dogs find this... fun? Well, then again, he did enjoy kicking a hackysack with Signless, so this isn't too much of a stretch, really.
He holds out a hand for the ball -- that probably has dog drool all over it... -- before he makes a request.]
[Well, the ball isn't damp enough to bother him. And throw the ball he does! Instead of throwing the ball out long like Rinoa had, he throws the ball in such a way that it's a bit shorter than the distance Rinoa had thrown it, but at a greater height.]
[No problem for Angelo! She takes off after it, keeping an eye on it as she runs. As it hangs in the air she slows down, and waaaaaaaaaits...
ZOMG THERE IT IS! She jumps up and catches it with her mouth. After a decent landing, she hurries back over, dropping the ball at his feet and jumping up a bit in excitement.]
[Oh, oh, she knows this game! She screeches to a halt just as she went left and darts off to the right, following the ball. Just as before, she catches it, although it bounces once off the ground before she does.
As she trots over and puts it back at his feet, Rinoa laughs.]
[Serph nods, agreeing, before making the arm motion to throw the ball high like his first throw. Again, he changes his throw at the last moment, pitching the ball low across the ground.
He'll watch Angelo (pretty intently) tear after the ball before he says...]
It does seem enjoyable.
[Chasing after a ball, that is. Actually he's considering joining in...]
[It's not much trouble for Angelo, who was tearing after it a bit more cautiously this time. She grabs it during a bounce, and trots back over, looking pleased.]
Well, uh, no. Just the first time I've ever heard of anyone wanting to play fetch... with a dog.
[But she supposes it's not that much different than playing catch. So with a smile, she chucks the ball hard, setting it in a wide arc across the sky. Angelo, as par the course, shoots off after it.]
[Well now you have! Let Serph have his eccentricities in this new world :C!!
Serph, too, runs after the ball, but, unfortunately, Angelo is much faster at tearing across the grass than he is. But Serph already figured that would be the case, so instead, he goes for tackling Angelo when she's already got the ball. Hey, no one told him he isn't allowed to do that!!]

Could you demonstrate?
[He doesn't know if Rinoa brought anything to show, though.]

May I try?

[Rinoa places the ball in his hand. It's not quite as drool-y as he might expect. Not yet, anyway.
Meanwhile, Angelo's eyes are on him. She pants in excitement, hoping he'll throw the ball.]

Rinoa immediately runs over, waving her arms.]
Serph, let her go! She'll bite!
