Rhine couldn't exactly say another time and get away with it- this was the woman he loved and secrets shouldn't be kept between him. "I'm a dragon.. through and through," he whispered. "Just like Cassara. Our mother adopted us from the same place. With a bit of concentration... and probably luck we manage these forms. There are just some things that we cannot make disappear- like ears, tail, horns... feet." He wiggled his own unshoed feet. "The place we were adopted from has long since shut its doors so if there is more to us we'll never know..."

Keeta blinked and looked at him increduiously.
"Is that all?" She blinked again. They had both gotten worked up and worried because he was a dragon?! She groaned and rolled her eyes.
"You could have told me sooner you know....I've been around dragons for the better part of my adult life. Of course the others I know can change fully into a human form. But you should have told me and saved us all the drama!" She poked him and stuck out her tongue.

"I'm a pro at holding this form... or at least I would like to think but sometimes certain situations get the better of me." He grinned as he looked into her eyes. "I kinda thought you'd guessed it because I could have sworn Cassara had made it a point to show off as means of intimidation." He chuckled lightly before kissing Keeta. "Love you."

"Well if you mean that she's turned into a true dragon in front of me, then no." She laugh as well and kissed him back.
"I love you too." Hmmm....speaking of love and relationships....
"Rhine?" She asked as she leaned in to kiss him again, more deeply this time. "While I'm on dangerous ground, I might as well ask something else. What is it Aurora meant earlier when she greeted me? I couldn't quite make heads or tails of her 'sister-in-law-to-be-that already is' thing."

"On our next date I'll take you someplace special..." Rhine smiled and laid her down on the group of poofs. He then followed suit and snuggled up next to her.
"That's Aurora for you..." Rhine thought for a moment and then laughed. "She doesn't classify you as an aunt- which is what you should be considering that Ceres counts you as a sister." He paused for a moment to run his fingers through her hair. "None of them really know what to classify you under. They all figure since... well... I'm attached to you- and I don't let go easily or give up- that you're more a sister. But under technicalities it would be '-in-law'. It all gets confusing when you get down to it..."

"Do I get to know where this somewhere special is before we go?" she asked, not really believing that she would get to know, as she intertiwned her fingers with his again.
"Ah...I can see why that might get confusing. Maybe they should all call me cousin or something instead," she said with a chuckle. She grew quiet again for a moment as she continued to think. Her free hand trace the back of his that she held.
"Are you and Aurora going to be ok?" she asked suddenly.

"It's somewhere you've been before but at the same time you just never really got to see it from any other prospective but your own." He chuckled and enjoyed the gentle contact.
Rhine sighed contently and continued to caress her in his own way. "You certainly are more than a cousin to us... Especially to me." He closed his eyes. Though he seemed relaxed he was still very alert.
Rhine opened one eye. "Of course we'll be alright. You cannot expect to get along with everyone one hundred and ten percent of the time... Especially when I have 7 other siblings." He chuckled.

Keeta had raised an eyebrow at his cryptic response but didn't press it. There really was no point. Rhine would tell her only if he wanted to. Now however, she turned to look at him fully.
"You're sure? I mean I would hate to be the cause of stress between you and a sibling. I've never had siblings, so the dynamics aren't something I'm particularly familiar with...." Keeta sighed. "All I feel like I do in your family sometimes is cause drama..."

At the word 'Drama' Rhine burst out laughing. "Our family doesn't cause drama- we are drama!" He held his side with his free hand. He gasped for air. It was just to funny. Finally he calmed down enough to snuggle closer to her again.

Keeta tried to laugh, but she couldn't find it as humerous as he did. Regardless of whether drama was a regular occurance in his life, or the life of his family, she hated thinking she might be adding to it. Chaos could unexpectedly wreak havoc in people's lives. She could speak to that from personal experience.

"Keeta you wanna get the hell out of here and lets go do something that's us... Well more us. Because lets face it we cannot dance... And the place is so dark we get lost going to the bathroom without a guide." He grinned innocently enough.

"Sounds good to me," she said getting to her feet without any prompting. What he proposed, she didn't much care. Almost anything could be better than being stuck in the dark here right now.

"Let's hope we can find the exit," he said as he stood up and quickly put his arm around her waist. "How about we head to a nice restaurant where we can have a candle lit dinner?" He was having to yell over the noise of the club as they left the area.

"Lead the way good sir!" she said with an equal amount of volume, and followed him out of the club.
