[Not only are they in luck, Atropos is being (perhaps unintentionally) very helpful by freezing time around them. Balthazar's smile widens, and he moves to clasp his hand around the thread as well.
He greets her in ancient Greek, but the gesture of respect is probably spoiled by the grin on his face. He looks like a cat that ate a canary. Cas may recognize the expression as similar to the look of boyish amusement after he rendered Raphael's vessel to salt.] Hail, Atropos!
Darling, you look lovely as always. We're going to need some assistance, and since you're here anyway, we were hoping you'd be amenable.
[The Fate's eyes narrow; it looks like she's trying to decide which of the two angels she dislikes more.] After you tried to kill me.
[Balthazar shrugs, affecting an apologetic look.] That was never personal. And we did go to a lot of trouble putting the Titanic back where it was meant to be, all for you.
[Honestly, he still can't figure out how the Winchesters believed he actually time-traveled to prevent a film and a song from being made. Especially after seeing how much effort it takes to do so, even for an angel. Balthazar may be a loose canon, and he can't say he doesn't love the idea, but that's an awful lot of effort to go through. It's particularly a lot of effort to have gone through twice.]
