The community center catered to many activities, and was a large, if not expansive center. With at least three indoor ball courts, as well as indoor baseball field and football, It homed many other things, like pools and a rock climbing wall, higher then 60 feet.
With the season turned to winter, and not being used to the cold, Khaleel had purchased membership to the club with the intention to take advantage of the pools and the rock wall as he couldn't hike in such weather without proper gear.
He was set up for the rock wall at the moment, with the belts and a helmet under his arm but he couldn't help exploring the center while he waited for his hour to come up. In particular, there seemed to be a practice game of softball and he was interested in how one played in a closed area like so.

Her grip on the bat was firm and steady, as well as her stance. She was ready for the pitch, ready to run and hopefully take the second base rather than the first. When the woman in front of her hiked her leg up, rearing back for the pitch, Mercy grinned. Time to see if she could knock this one out the park [ or more likely the indoor field ]. The pitcher threw her ball with a small grunt, the big round object coming towards her at full speed. Mercy was prepared, twisting and hitting the ball with everything she had, dropping the bat the moment it made contact with the ball. Her eyes followed the path of the ball as she ran, having to rethink her plan since she didn't hit the ball far enough to make it to second base. The ball was now in the hands of the woman in the outfield so she picked up her pace, sliding into first base just barely before the woman next to her caught the ball. The umpire came to declare that she was safe, which was a relief. Any later, and she would've been out.

Khaleel cheered as the ball was hit and the woman ran to the base, succeeding in her goal.
"GOOD HIT!!!" He waved his arms around, drawing himself attention. He didn't quite know the rules but obviously she did a good job! He watched them with excitement.

That was odd, Mercy didn't know there was anyone watching the game? Well, of course people would come by to watch but...The thing was, it wasn't an actual game, just a practice. So who would be watching this? Mercy's eyes went to the direction she heard the voice, holding up her finger to pause, running up to the gentleman in the rock climbing gear. "Hello~ You're the one that was cheering right? What's your name?" He was kinda cute but...Eh, he looked too nice. However, maybe he could teach her how to rock climb next time she sees him?

Oh! He totally didn't expect her to stop but now that she was over here.
"Hi! Hi! I am Khaleel, I am new to America and I was watching your game. You hit the ball, so fast, whoosh!" He spread his arm out, "Then it went outside lines, that is slam dunk no? TOUCHDOWN?" He bounced excitedly.
"This is American baseball yeah?"

He was just too adorable! Mercy couldn't help but laugh a bit at his enthusiasm, looking to the field and back. "You're new to America? Where are you from?! My name's Mercy and I can tell you Khaleel, this is not American baseball. Its called softball, just like baseball but the ball it a bit bigger and mostly women play. There are some men that like to play softball as well though. What was just hit was called a home run, not a touchdown hahaha. Touch downs are for American Football and lingerie foot ball." The latter sport was something she wanted to try one day since it was more brutal than it looked and it would be a good excuse to get away with wearing less than what she usually wore in public. Clothes are no fun really. Mercy looked to the rock climbing area and back to Khaleel. "You do rock climbing?"

"Jordan! France. Both really! I spent more time in Jordan, before I was sent to live with my family in France." The man blinked, "Nice to meet you, Miss Mercy. What interesting name. Mercy." He rolled it on his tongue. "It is not baseball? Oh Softball?" He paused....
"Does that mean you are much better then baseball? Because the ball is bigger? It must take lots of strength to send it flying!" He blinked again....
"What is Lingerie football?"
At her next question, he dug his hands in the straps.
"I was going to! It's too cold to hike, so I have to do something inside!"
