This was not what Rehan had been expecting.
When Wilhelm had invited the small catboy to 'play some ball games!', Rehan had expected something involving... well, a ball, at the very least. Instead, he stood, bemused and eyes wide, at the edge of a large sports green, staring as the tall jocks around him proceeded to throw around... what even was that? A cabbage?
He let out a disbelieving laugh, then turned to Willy and raised his arms, his loose sleeve flapping in the breeze.
"How do you even play this?" he yelled across the field, watching as one of the guys did a full-body tackle into another. Oh, Gods.
Willy jogged over to Rehan's side, ruffling his hair forcefully.
"Dunno!" grinned the tall Tanuki with a shrug. "We're just kinda throwing it around! It's fun!"
"I... see," replied an amused Rehan. He was still watching the two guys from earlier - the one who'd done the tackle was now helping the other guy up from the ground, both of them laughing as they did. Loose cabbage leaves scattered the ground beneath them, and the cabbage itself looked noticeably smaller than it had been when the game began. "Maybe... maybe I'll just watch, then."
"Suit yourself!"
Willy jogged back over to the others, waving his arms enthusiastically, as a bedraggled cabbage came flying straight towards his face.
Rehan just sighed, smiling.
Jocks. Honestly.
