[Hawke's accent sounds equivalent to an Earth British, light and quick in her droll tone, but the majority of people on Earth probably knows at least what the game is. It may make it very obvious she's not from around here, and arguably it should be that Hawke be smarter and not be so patently obvious, but that would require her to be far more cautious than she is. Mostly, she sees this as idle conversation with a very interesting looking fellow.]

Oh, alright, armor in case the ball or the bat hit him? That makes sense.

[The ball is going rather fast. Hawke might be able to catch it, but if not, it would hurt for certain. He's right in a position he probably wouldn't want to be hit in too. She wrinkles her nose when he says a no-contact sport. What fun is that? Oh well, she's not going to see a brawl out of this then.

It's a very good and direct explanation. She is piecing together what he's saying with what she's observed.]

Everyone's so enthusiastic about it. Wouldn't it be more fun to play than to watch?
