Jacosa's tail flicked from side to side as he watched the other children on the playground. He was wearing shorts and a shirt as it was a sunny day and his mother had allowed him to go outside and play a bit on his own. Sadly playing on one's own seemed boring and now his new yellow tennis ball seemed to have vanished into some nearby bushes.
He had been playing tennis against the wall, but since the ball was gone and he wasn't able to find it, the otter had simply decided to climb the wall and watch the others.

Like a lot of other families that day, Kitara thought it a beautiful day to take her daughter out to the playground. She walked down one of the paved pathways, one hand holding onto Katrina's and another holding an easel.
The puppy wandered along, paw in her mother's gloved hand. Brown eyes scanned the playground, floppy ears twitching. Her eyesight wasn't the best, but her sense of smell was. She paused and sniffed the air, eyes traveling over to the otter sitting on the wall. She... knew him, didn't she?

Jacosa watched some people walking alone of the pathways and he had to squint his eyes to look at them more closely. There was a quite famliar figure.
A grin formed on his face as he recognised Katrina. She seemed to see him as well and so he waved slightly with both hands and his tail.

She did know him! What was his name again? Ja... Jack? Co... Cody? "Mommy, I know him!" Katrina pointed over to the otter boy.
"Hm?" Crimson eyes traveled from the area ahead of her, to her daughter, then to Jacosa. "Ohhh, yes. That's Jacosa. You wanna go play with him?" After recieving a nod the necromancer crouched down and made sure the toddler was going to be alright on her own for a little before allowing her to waddle her way towards him.

As the dog girl moved closer towards the wall Jacosa smiled and leaned forward a bit. A motion which would have made every mother tremble. Luckily Andraste wasn't around.
"Hey Katrina !" The otter greeted her and looked down. "Do you want to see my jump ?"

"Jump?" Katrina questioned, looking up at the otter boy. "Gonna jump off the wall? Thas high!" She barked nervously and took a step back, wondering if he was really going to do it.

Jacosa grinned. Alright, he hadn't done it before, but actually...it couldn't be that difficult, right ? Who said that otters weren't able to jump from high places?
"Yes, I'll jump. Take care that I don't hit you." He took a deep breath and looked down. Ok, probably it was a bit high...but now he couldn't go back.
"I'll throw down my tennis racket first." He decided and carefully allowed the racket to drop to the ground.

The canine watched him, brow eyes following the tennis racket as it fell to the ground. Head pivoting in a curious manner, she picked it up out of the way and then took a couple of steps back. The last thing she wanted was to be landed on by an otter!
Katrina's clawed hands fiddled with the racket, holding it close as she looked back up at Jacosa. Oh my...

"Good good, you're doing quite well ! You could be one of the assistants at the tennis court." Jacosa always liked to play the bigger one and so he did now.
Sliding towards the edge of the wall his nerves didn't seem to be so happy anylonger. "One." His paws were clinging to the stone as he estimated the height.
"Two." Again he looked for a soft spot of moss or something, but there was only grass. "Three ! I'm coming !
With that he jumped and hit the ground hardly. His ankles hurt a bit and a bit of the fur on his knee was gone and is stinged slightly, but he was alright. Hiding the pain he grinned at Katrina.

"Assistament?" The anthro's ears perked as she watched him jump down, wincing upon landing. Once Jacosa smiled though, she wandered over and held up the racket.
"That was hiiiigh." Katrina stated once more. "You get a boo-boo?" Brown eyes traveled over his form, landing on the patch of bare skin. "Ah!" She pointed a black claw.

"Assistant is somebody who helps the tennis players. I could show tennis to you if I..." Suddenly a grin spread on Jacosa's face and he patted Katrina's head as he took the racket.
"You know Katrina, I lost this yellow ball somewhere around here. Do you want to help me searching ?" Having seen on TV that dogs wer supposed to be awesome at doing such things he smiled.
As she pointed at his knee he shrugged. "It's ok, don't worry. It will grow again."

"Okay..." The mutt's eyes traveled from his skinned knee to his face again. "Yellow ball?" Her ears perked once more. "Okay! By the wall?" She asked.

Jacosa smiled happily and pointed at some nearby bushes. "I played against the wall and then...BAM !"" His gestures were far more dramatically than the actual scene.
"...the yellow ball vanished inside the bushes !"

"Oooooo..." Katrina eyed the bushes and then wandered over to them, getting on all fours as she crawled into them. Yellow ball... yellow ball.
Instinctivly, the pup sniffed at the ground to try and fish out Jacosa's scent on the ball.

The otter himself tried to help with the tennis racket and parted some bushes carefully. He didn't want to his the girl.
"Wow that's cool, you're really like a dog. Do you eat dog food ?" He asked curiously, probably not aware that it might disturb someone to ask like that.
