"Maybe."

He admitted.

"Then we should try," she said, excitement in her tone once more.

She clasped her hands together, eyes wide at the prospect.

"Besides. If I go comatose or something, I'm sure I'll recover and be fine. It's a temporary set-back. And an experience."

"That's totally fine!"

Why hadn't she thought of that?...

"I'm Evelyn, by the way. My friends usually call me Evie."

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Mike."

He'd smile and let his glow fade, offering her a hand.

She watched his glow fade, unable to hide her interest, and reached out to take his hand.

"Pleasures all mine, Mike," she said kindly, before pulling her hand back.

Her shake was gentle and uncertain, fingers weak when wrapped around his.

"Did I interrupt something for you?" She asked, motioning towards the things he had in his hand. "I didn't mean to. I didn't think anybody would see me."

His hand was the opposite, calloused and rough, his handshake firm and certain.

"I think I interrupted you."

He said with an amused snort.

"Oh? Yeah, I guess so," she said with a light little laugh.

She shrugged, tilting her head. "Were you going to do something before my weirdness attracted you?"

"Eh, I was just gonna hit the ball around a bit. I was bored."

Nothing pressing.

"Don't let me stop you!" She smiled, placing her hands on her narrow hips. "I know nothing about baseball."

"Well, teach me. Maybe I can learn."

She looked over the baseball bat, eyeing it as she tried to figure out how, exactly, you were supposed to hit some speeding ball with than little thing.

And, you know, avoid getting hit.

"Sure, I can do that. We'd need to get a real bat though."

Since his energy bat can't leave his hand.

"Do they... have those?" She asked with a tilt of her head.

Hey, she was new to Paradigm. And baseball.

"Oh! Okay. Do you want me to just meet you somewhere, then? You can go get it."

She smiled sheepishly, not wanting to admit that she was uncomfortable following him back to his Pod or his room.

"If you want. Did you want to just meet me over there?"

He'd point out a bit further along the campus. Away from the main path so they wouldn't hit anyone with a ball.

"That sounds great," she said with a smile, turning and walking towards their meeting spot.

She seemed far too enthusiastic for her own good.

Mike would show up a little bit later with a wooden bat and a baseball glove tucked under his arm.

"So did you want to learn how to hit? Or throw?"

"Throwing sounds less dangerous," she said shyly, giggling slightly to herself.

"Alright."

He'd drop the bat and glove on the ground and hold up the ball for her to see how he is holding it. With his fingers over the seams of the ball.

"So you want to hold it like this with your fingers over the seams of the ball. And you'll also want to use your wrist when you throw the ball. A lot of people throw with a stiff wrist."

He'd go through the motion to show her.

"You will want your arm to move in a circular motion as well. Shorter distances will use a smaller circle. So yeah. And you will want to stand like this."

He'd show her.

"Your front shoulder facing where you are throwing and your lower body should also be lined up with your hips closed and pointing toward your target. Your back foot perpendicular. If you throw it correctly the ball will rotate in a 12-6 rotation which will help with your aim."

Simple really.

She listened carefully to every word he said, watching every move he took. She was silent, brilliant blue eyes shining with interest and intrigue. She knew nothing about throwing baseballs, and she didn't have the amazing memory of, say, Murdoch.

She nodded and leaned forward, furrowing her brows. "Your wrist. Show me the motion again?"

She knew she wouldn't be able to mimic his motions, but she wanted to try her best.

He'd show her again, cocking back his wrist so she can see what he meant.

"And you promise you won't make fun of me?" She asked teasingly.

"Why would I make fun of you?"

Totally serious.
