"That's fine" Rose said as she followed his lead to the rec room. "What is most of this stuff?" Rose asked unaware of what they were. They didn't have things like that in the spirit world. She was curious because it all was so new to her.
"Well alright, when I was around 200 I loved dancing and so often entered contests and went to parties. Well one time I was at an old friends party to celebrate her engagement and I was dancing by my self when when a mysterious stranger came up to me asking if I wanted to dance with him. Mind that this was a masquerade ball, so I accepted and we danced the night away, not knowing who the other was. Back then I wasn't as strong as I am now or as well off. Back then there was only really two classes, nobles and peasants. Even though I was friends with Nobles I was only a lowly peasant to most and was often treated as one. From that day on at every dance or ball that I attended I danced with that one mysterious stranger. We did every dance imaginable from the waltz to the Tango to tell eachother how we felt at that moment. I must tell you though it wasn't until years later that we finally revealed ourselves to eachother, he was the handsomest man I've ever seen. It was then and there that He confessed his love for me and telling me he wanted to be with me for the rest his life. Being as smitten as I was back then, I accepted his proposal. Lets just say things got intimate that night, but the next morning he announced our engagement to his family was less than pleased. They believed that a noble should not intermix with peasants. They dealt with it until they found out that I got pregnant, this enraged them so they came up with a plan to assassinate me and my unborn child when he was away on business. They almost got away with it except for he got back early and stumbled upon us. They had tortured me while managing to kill my baby while keeping me alive and was about to kill me when they were interrupted. Going into a rage He killed his entire family save me, getting a few fatal wounds in the process. Picking me up he rushed me to the safety of a nearby grove of trees where he died by using his life energy to heal me and keep me alive." Carolyn re-accounted her story as she rested a hand on her belly, a sad smile on her face. Taking off one of her gloves to show a engagement ring with a small gem that swirled with colors of the rainbow she glanced from her ring to her listener.

The fox paused slightly but then smiled down at Rose, he had forgotten that she had never come in contact with human amusements. "Well," His smile still glowed as he gazed around the room. "How about I teach you? That one there is a television and it is used to create a story - almost like a book but you don't have to read. Over there is pool, a game where you use a long stick to knock balls into the holes. Foosball is where you use miniature, plastic people to kick a ball into eachother's goal. Then pingpong is a game where people use paddles to bounce a ball back and forth. Would you like to try one?"
Most of the words Carolyn used baffled the girl. Never had she heard of a "ball" or this person "masquerade" - maybe that was her mysterious man. Tenma had a sense of what dancing was she didn't know about social classes, love, parents, or pregnancy; much less an engagment. "I'm...confused. At least I believe that is the proper word." Once more Tenma felt shane pulse through her from her ignorance. "What is a masquerade ball? Was that the man's name? Also, what is a waltz and a tango and how do they express how you feel? After that, what is a proposal or an engagement? I doubt they are the same as I understand them. What do you mean by intimate? Does love make you pregnant? What is pregnant? Apparently it has something to do with children...where do children come from? Was I a child once?" Suddenly Tenma had to gasp for air as she had only used one breath. Quickly she looked away for fear that she had angered Carolyn. It wasn't like her to have so many questions and, normal, Tenma would have gone in search of the answers herself; but she had never heard of such thing. Almost as quickly as she looked away her eyes darted to Carolyn's ring. It was gorgeous and it was also the first jewel Tenma had ever seen. Maybe this was what love was - a possession.
