"Ha, well, that was nice of her." Arabella said, "I find it rather funny that she taught you when you were young. Most boys aren't interested or willing to do things like dancing."
(Does he not like women talking or something? )
"I suppose I did. I of course have danced since then, but not often, and not really with anyone decent." Arabella said and shrugged slightly. "Did you dance at all when you were a child, or did you learn as an adult?"
Arabella chuckled, "Well, I danced with my sisters a lot growing up when we had nothing to do. Of course, it was just a joke, but it still counted as practice." She told him with slight humor.
