"There are people here who speak Sanskrit?" X asks, head tilting as she studies all four signs.

She is curious.

And her hair is very, very short.

"I do not know."

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."

X frowns very slightly.

"Bar does not translate?"

She is both curious and uncertain, now. These things happen.

"Bar did not make them. I did."

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?

"Oh," X says, absorbing that.

Then --

"They are very bright."

Beat.

"It will be effective for garnering attention."

Or it should be, anyway.

"That was what I thought."

"People seem to be attracted to bright colors."

Castiel tilts his head at X.

"Do you play baseball?" he asks, curiously.

"I practiced once. Here."

Beat.

"With Meg."

This pause is longer.

"Tomas plays. At home. He is eight. I am supposed to ask him for help."

"I have never played. But I have watched games."

"I wish to play. That is why I am trying to find people to play with."

Thanks to some advice from his Canadian mentor.

"You practiced with Meg Ford?" he asks.

He knows, of course, that there are likely many Megs. But Meg Ford is the only one he knows.

"Yes," X says, nodding once.

"It was optimal prior to signing up."

Beat.

"You do not mind?"

Castiel looks a little perplexed.

"I do not mind."

"You wish to sign up, then?"

It will be good. To play with someone he knows.

"Yes," X says.

And then she picks up one of the ballpoint pens and signs her name on the sheet.

It does not take long.

X-23

Castiel nods as she finishes signing her name.

"Perhaps I should practice," he says.

"After I build the field."

X frowns very slightly.

"You will be working alone?"

That does not seem efficient.

Unless angels have powers for that. X has no idea.

Castiel frowns.

"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.

"I do not get tired either," X offers.

Well. After 24 hours of peak exertion she starts wearing down.

It's almost the same thing. Ish.

Castiel nods.

"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."
