Keeta raised an eyebrow at Rhine's expression, but held her tongue. It was a discussion that could wait until later, when he wouldn't have excuses to wiggle himself out of it.
"Lead the way," Keeta said brightly, turning back to Aurora, waiting for her to show them where to go

Rhine took a moment to step away and grab their drinks before they were being led anywhere. He handed Keeta's to her as he gave her a quick kiss on the lips. He then slid his hand around her waist as means to keep her close.
Aurora smiled contently. And with a roll of her hip she turned on her heal and headed off in the first common place a tour should begin- the bar. She figured that they already knew where this was but it was like an 'anchor point'- from here you could be led anywhere and no get lost- unless you just happened to get tangled up in the see of dancers.

Keeta sipped her drink as they walked, letting her eyes, that were now more adjusted to the darkness, explore the walls of the club. They also traveled over the dancers, idly noiticing who had skill and who...shouldn't quit their day job.
As they walked a little ways, she noticed Aurora was leading them back to the bar. Well, it was good to start with someplace familiar? She wondered where they would be going from there. Keeta leaned her head against Rhine's shoulder as they crossed the final distance across the room.

"I don't know how to make this easy on you- since you get lost in a brown paper bag..." Aurora chuckled as she spoke. She kept a bit of distance between her and Rhine even if she knew her brother would know she was just playing around.
"You aint right..." Rhine shook his head as he laughed out loud. He sat his empty glass on the edge of the bar and then stared out into the endless see of people. To him though he had an eye for only one person- Keeta. No one else mattered. He pulled her a bit closer.

"We'll try to keep up where ever you choose to take us, Aurora," Keeta said, nudging Rhine in the ribs, lightly with her elbow, teasing him a little as well. She smiled up at him as he pulled her closer.
"Is the club everything you'd hoped it'd be?" she asked Aurora, trying not to make her feel like a third wheel.

Aurora reached up and stroked an ear. "Yes," she said with a roll of her shoulders and a grin that was from ear to ear. "It keeps me out of trouble and that is what I had hoped for." She motioned with her hand and then turned off to head towards the bathrooms. As she lead them in that direction she animatedly talked about the dance floor, the lights, and just about anything else she could think of.

Keeta tried to keep her attention on Aurora's words but it was hard between having to concentrate on not running into any stray dancers, looking at the things around her, and of course having her man's arm around her. Her mind was on overdrive trying to keep up with it all. When she did catch something here and there she would nod appropriately or give the "mmhmm's" and "ah's" to show she was listening.
For a precious moment she took her eyes away from where they were walking and looked at Rhine, hoping he was absorbing more of his sister's schpiel than she was.

Rhine's mind was everywhere but on what Aurora was saying. Between the lights, the crowd constantly changing, and a few other things his mind was so busy he was 'scatter brained'. He was wondering if coming to a place that was so busy was a good idea. Though he 'played' that his iron grip around Keeta was to hold her closer and to show love it was more to protect her to keep her close so that he knew no harm would come to her. He didn't think he could make it to the middle of the floor and actually dance... He was better off at the edge where they were previously when they were doing their own thing. Finally he sucked in a breath when what seemed liked miles away he heard her say 'restroom'.
Aurora looked her brother over and shook her head. "Don't you dare shift in here or I'll be the one that throws you out." She tried to keep it light so that it remained teasing as to not alarm anyone but she was serious.

At Aurora's light but clearly serious warning, her gaze was brought to the front again. She raised an eyebrow and looked back and forth between the two siblings for a moment. Clearly she was missing some piece of vital information.
"Shift?" Keeta asked, her tone confused and inquiring.

Aurora tapped her foot for a moment- it almost seemed as if in rhythm but really it was a slight impatience. "So his features not give you the slightest hint," she said under her breath and pointed to her brothers large tail. "Or how about those cute green and yellow freckles that are all over his body... and I am sure you have seen all over his body."
"Aurora bite your tongue. This isn't a discussion for this atmosphere." Rhine snorted and his free hand fisted tightly. "Now please can we continue..." he motioned to the doors of the restroom. "I am sure there are better 'features' to this place than the restroom."

Keeta was about to reply to Aurora's snippy comment, but was cut off by Rhine's response. She felt him tense next to her and saw his posture get more defensive. Deciding that now was not a wise time to pursue this topic, she swallowed her reply and made a mental note to add this topic to the discussion they would be having later.
And by the way he reacted....perhaps much later.

"What-Ever," Aurora said with a roll of her eyes. She swallowed her hiss and motioned for them to follow. She showed them the setting area and then lead them over to the sheer areas. She was now less animated and more ready to get this over with. Though it was a sibling squabble that would eventually be smoothed over it meant something between them at this point.
Rhine paid attention even if his focus was else where. As if he didn't have enough going through his mind he had even more now. He took several deep breaths and did eventually relax.
"And this is the more private area of the club," Aurora said before she turned on her heals. "Well I'll leave you two since this is the end of what I can show you..."

"Bye...." Keeta said halfheartedly, in the midst of her confusion and slight resentment. She watched the black figure until she disappeared into the crowds, still trying to process everything that had just happened.
When Aurora was gone, Keeta gently pulled Rhine towards one of the unoccupied private areas and sat down.

Rhine wrapped both his arms around Keeta and nuzzled his face against her neck. Even if her scent was slightly different this evening it was still her and still comforting to him. "Sorry," he mumbled. He was unsure though if he meant it for himself or for his sister.

Keeta leaned back against him, but not looking at him, lost in her thoughts. She took one of his hands in hers and gripped it, interlacing their fingers. She was silent for a long time.
After several minutes of silence, she looked town and spoke quietly.
"What happened back there?"
