In ATLANTIS at this time of the year, it was already getting dark at this time of night. Seven PM cast the setting sun into the lounge setting of the restaurant Tia wanted to meet at, having reserved a spot earlier.

Rei was waiting outside the Sky Club, in the following, with high heeled shoes. It was a date...a formal event...and she dressed to show her true self, not some stereotypical image. |

And then Aiden walked in from the other door, with tan pants, a pink shirt with a white jacket over the top along with his normal boots.
Tia had meant to go. She really had, but she had been too unsure of herself and what she'd do, so she sent her brother. She told him she had arranged it for him, so he went.
"Rei," he said, walking towards her.

A questioning look flickered in her eyes as she looked at him...one tinged with disappointment...and she let out a knowing sigh. "Aiden." she greeted, the issue of what to do now on her mind....

"Tia told me she set this up," he told her, "She said to give you something too," he produced a sealed letter from his pocket and held it out to her.

Rei nodded, taking the sealed letter, and turning around, opening the seal and looking down at the words...

"I meant to be there. I did. But...I didn't know what to do. I'm sorry, but I panicked. Please, forgive me.
~Tia"

Rei read the letter...and a small tear came from her eye, "Oh Tia..." she murmured quietly. "I should have kept it to myself." she added, in mental thought.

"Is something wrong?" Aiden asked her when he noticed the tear. His words were soft and filled with concern.

Rei looked to him. "No....not particularly...just...I did something that I didn't want to do..." she gave softly. "And it's made me sad." He was her brother after all, maybe she had talked to him about it too.

"Are you going to be ok?" he asked with concern for her. He didn't want to ask about the letter, or about what had happened.

"I will be..." Rei said softly. "I appreciate your concern...I just feel really bad right now."

"Is there anything I can do?" he asked, smart enough to figure the letter had something to do with it.

"Unfortunately, no." Rei would respect Tia's privacy, and not say anything about it...but she would be seeing Tia again, to apologize for her wrong doing. For now though, she put the letter back in the envelope, even if it was tempting to talk to her brother....it was just too weird, to do that.
Then she put the envelope on her waist, and extended her hand. "Come...let's go inside." she said, trying to make the best of the situation...and considering the fact she was hungry.

He took her hand, nodding, "We have a table already," he said, leading her in among the myriad of tables and people eating. They were taken back and seated by one of the windows right away.
