KARANTHIR:

 …It's about time you awoke, my prince. You've been away for  a week, finally return - only to fall asleep on me.

ZYFAN: 

I ... I did not mean to … I am so sorry. Why did you not wake me?

KARANTHIR: 

I couldn't do that. I need you well rested. We still have the
Yankee game to attend.

ZYFAN:

 I had forgotten. They play baseball, these Yankees, correct?

KARANTHIR:

Apparently. Speaking of which, what'd you think of Orrie's
tee ball game this morning?

ZYFAN:

 It is easy to see why he enjoys it, and it seemed to me that
Brynie is a very good coach.

KARANTHIR: 

That’s true. I’m merely the pretty poster boy. When you're blond and 

beautiful, no one expects you to have a brain. I just let the little 

monster do his thing while I’m the designated adult. I make 

sure no one on the team wanders far from the bench.

ZYFAN:

 You do not give yourself enough credit. I watched you when that
little one made a mistake. You were there with an
encouraging word. I was so proud of you.

KARANTHIR: 

Well I can't have any of them crying, can I? That would simply be too ghastly for me. After all, it's only a game.

ZYFAN: 

Karanthir, this baseball game we are going to,
is it similar to tee ball? Perhaps you can explain the rules
to me? I find it a little confusing.

KARANTHIR: 

Of course my prince. It’s all about scoring. In order to do that, 

one must run around the bases, and it all begins with first base.

ZYFAN: 

First base?

KARANTHIR: 

Yes, the pitcher throws the ball and the batter, if successful, hits it ...

KARANTHIR:

 ... then he runs to first base.

ZYFAN:

 Not that I am complaining, but what has this to do with baseball?

KARANTHIR: 

I’m demonstrating first base.

ZYFAN: 

Oh? I rather like first base.

KARANTHIR: 

But we must move on, must’nt hold up the game.

Second batter's up, there's the pitch, another hit.

KARANTHIR:

 ... Then we find ourselves on second base.

ZYFAN: 

You are becoming very efficient at undressing me.

KARANTHIR: 

I’ve always prided myself on being a fast learner.

KARANTHIR:

 And now it’s time for yet, another batter.

ZYFAN: 

So soon?

KARANTHIR: 

We don’t have a lot of time my prince.

ZYFAN:

 But, what if I wish to return to first base?

KARANTHIR: 

Sorry can’t do that. We can only move forward. On to third.

ZYFAN:

 If you must.

ZYFAN:

 ... Sacred ancestors!

ZYFAN:

 ... Is there still more?

KARANTHIR: 

It's time to slide into home base and score ...

ZYFAN: 

I must say, I like baseball.

KARANTHIR: 

I'm so happy I could introduce you to the game, my prince.
