Right shoulder. Her right shoulder...okay. Vita flinched as soon as she heard his words, her right shoulder moving back as she leaned to the side to try and avoid the ball. She could feel it brush past her, but it wasn't a direct hit, which she was pleased about. "Okay, ready for the next one." She knew this time around he wouldn't be telling her where he was throwing, so she was already trying to concentrate.
Indigo didn't want to throw the ball at Vita again, which he knew wasn't the point of the activity at all but she was his friend and he felt extremely guilty even though he knew this was what he was supposed to be doing. What he decided to do was throw the ball back at the exact same place he had just thrown it, toward her right shoulder. All she'd have to do was make the exact same movement she had just made to avoid it, if she was able to guess that he was throwing it in the same place. His plan had been to make it easier for her to avoid it, but he wasn't sure if it would play out according to his plan.

As a prefect, did she really need to work with the younger snakes?
...hm.
Looking to Indigo, she gestured between them. They could start a team? At least then she'd know there was one person she had faith in by her side.
When the creatures were suddenly revealed, Indigo jumped. He moved even closer to Vita, instinctively grabbing onto her hand and squeezing it. Those things were a bit scary, and the fact that they were going to attack anything that made any noise made them even worse. What he really wanted to do right now was just leave, but when class had started the door had disappeared so he literally couldn't leave.
He tried to ground himself and think rationally to help keep himself calm. All he had to do was get a ball into a hoop without making any noise. He could do that. If there was one thing Indigo could do it was stay silent. Plus, he was kind of excited that they could use nonverbals. He had been working on them for a bit now and was feeling fairly confident in his ability to do simple spells nonverbally. So he actually wasn't as anxious as he could be about this whole situation. He glanced over at Vita and nodded at her gesture. Of course he wanted to be on their team. He gave her sort of a questioning look, trying to silently ask what the game plan was. It was too bad he didn't know sign language.
