Utena knew Riku was right, it was her first time after all. Part of her still wanted to make a good impression though, it looked like he'd talked about her a bit with Dimitri and Katara. "I think I got it, let me try serving it over," she said as she picked it up. She tossed it lightly in her hands a few times, getting a feel for its weight before she called "Heads up!" Then she hit it over, not so hard that it went flying out of bounds, but not soft enough that it didn't move at all.

“I got it!” Dimitri called as Utena successfully served the ball. He waited for the bounce before going in. He passed the ball to Katara, who went for a dive to intercept but wound up fumbling her rush. As she tripped on the sand, the ball landed by her hand.
Riku glanced over at Katara. “Are you okay?”
With a laugh, Katara sat up with a thumbs up. “Just a little trip. I’m fine! Hey, good serve there, Utena. Think you got the right ratio there!”

Utena smiled again. Looked like she was getting the hang of this. With some more practice, she could probably go toe to toe with some of the more seasoned players. But that would probably take a little time. Any of Utena's good skills were the result of a lot of training and repeating moves over and over until they were perfect. Her sword fighting was much the same way. "Thanks," she replied. "Once I get good at this game, I wanna see how an all out match goes. I bet it's pretty intense."

“Oh, when we add superpowers to the mix, it gets pretty crazy,” Riku said with a hand through his silver hair. He was pretty good about using shadows for more sneak attack moves, where as Dimitri’s brute strength and Katara’s water manipulation were very much in your face abilities. He jabbed his thumb at the blonde athlete. “One time Dimitri straight up threw his practice sword at the ball and made a dent clean down the court!”
Dimitri rolled his eyes mirthfully. “Make one mistake and everyone roasts you.”
