She is curious.
And her hair is very, very short.

Castiel notices that her hair is short where it had been long. But sees no reason to comment on the subject.
Vessels change. Sometimes naturally. Sometimes by design.
"You recognize it. Others might read it."

"Bar does not translate?"
She is both curious and uncertain, now. These things happen.

Castiel looks ever so slightly sheepish.
"There were a number of colors of paper to choose from..."
Led into temptation by office supplies.
And if one is going to make four signs, what is the fun of using only one language?

"They are very bright."
Beat.
"It will be effective for garnering attention."
Or it should be, anyway.

Castiel tilts his head at X.
"Do you play baseball?" he asks, curiously.

"After I build the field."

"You will be working alone?"
That does not seem efficient.
Unless angels have powers for that. X has no idea.

"I do not know. I had thought I would."
"I do not tire," he adds. "Not the way mortals do."
And it would take more than the building of a ball field.

Well. After 24 hours of peak exertion she starts wearing down.
It's almost the same thing. Ish.

"Help would be welcome."
It's not even so much about the physical labor, he acknowledges. It's about the company. Working together toward a common goal.
"I will be getting materials from Bar. There is a great deal to be done."
