He made a soft 'wow' sound, amazed by the large number. That was a bigger number than he had fingers! Following after, he slowly lowered himself down to the ground.
In a flash, Meadow was throwing sticks and dropping her hands into the water. "Ahhh!" the hybrid chirped, thrusting the bucket out in him. Of course, the frog did not make it to him, and Augustus squeaked as it made a rather wet sound as it hit the ground. "I-I wasn't ready!" he stammered, watching the frog bound off into the undergrowth. "I'm sorry!" Augustus tightened his grip on the bucket, golden eyes blown wide.

Meadow actually giggled, "it's okay. It isn't like I will be upset if we lose the frogs... Just want to have fun with you." She explained to him, throwing another stick, "ready?" She asked, eyes the water in front of her. Ready or not, she quickly sunk her hands in to the swamp waters, grabbing another frog. "Incoming!" She announced as she tossed the frog up into the air... Aiming for the bucket.
Meadow was happy the other came to her house and is at least trying to enjoy her odd activities. She wondered if he would want to come back again?... If there was a next time, she'd probably ask her mama and papa to get swamp gear sized for Gus so he didn't get wet or dirty... Maybe then he'd enjoy being at her house more.

Stomping around in his boots, Augustus was properly ready this time. Holding the bucket up high, he felt the heavy thud at the frog landed inside. "Ahhh!" he half screamed, half exclaimed, flipping the bucket and slamming it down on the ground.
Under the rim a small frog leg stuck out and he screamed again, lighting the bucket slightly so the creature could retract it's foot. "I-I got it....!" the boy offered a bit breathy, honestly a little winded and flushed from the sudden commotion. However, he gave Meadow a hopeful smile, seeking her praise. "I got it!"

Meadow watched at Gus caught the frog then screamed before adjusting the bucket. He looked so proud of himself which made the hybrid happy. "You got it! Good job, Gus!" She handed him praised, moving over to him. "Wanna touch it?" She asked him, "it will be slimy." She warned.
Meadow was glad that the other was so excited to catch hos first frog! Maybe he was having fun now! She hoped so. "I can teach you how to catch them now, if you want? I bet you will be really good at it!"

August was still beaming with pride; this was so much fun doing something new with his friend. He didn't get many play dates, and especially not ones as exciting as this. Wiping his hands on the front of his sweater, his tendrils whipped around his arms for a moment. Oh! He had forgot about that part.
"I'll touch," he confirmed, trying to stay atop his new found confidence. Very carefully he lifted the bucket, watching with wide eyes as the frog stayed put. Gently, with one boney finger he traced the frog's back, immediately recoiling. "Ew!" he squeaked as the amphibian hopped away but laughter immediately rippled through him.
It did not take much for him to settle down again, nodding softly. "Bye Mr. Frog," he murmured, watching it go. Holding his slimed hand out in front of him, he glanced back to the Nixie girl. "T-teach me," he decided, golden eyes bright.
