The bearer agreed to go with him, curious about the place where they would be dancing for people's enjoyment. Standing, he went over to the wall and slipped on his shoes.

Reiko whinced as he stood up but still stood and smiled softly at Minore. "Thanks for joining me." He offered as he led the way out the door. Once Minore was out the door and it was locked, he waved for Minore to follow and headed down the street.
About 10 blocks later, they rounded a corner and Reiko pointed at a rather gaudy looking night club with a dark neon sign saying, Nuevo. "That Min is my home away from home."

Minore's eyes widened as they neared it, finding that it was a bigger place than he had thought it would be. The bearer followed Reiko inside, his curiosity only growing.

Reiko liked Min's reactions. The silver-haired bearer looked rather receptive to his business. He was actually really really glad to see that.
Reiko pointed to the open back door. "Looks like day shift has already opened for me. Shall we go in?" But before Miin could reply, Reiko cupped the small of Minore's back and guided him inside the back door.
The back was like any bar in town. Dark with lots of sinks, refrigerators, and a well stock and looked closet. It was dark because they only had half the lights on. The dim flourescents gave just enough light to navigate the maze of refrigerators. The crazy thing was, they weren't alone. Several people bustled around the kitchen preparing for tonight's crowd. They were counting, cleaning, and stocking.
Reiko smiled professionally at everyone he passed. A few he asked some business questions of, but for the most part, he kept on the move, guiding Reiko to a white door marked Dressing Room.
"This, dear Min," He announced as he opened the door. "Is the Dressing Room. This is where you prep for the shows. You share this space with other bearers and a couple givers." He pointed to a MASSIVE closet. "That is wher you will choose your costumes unless you supply one of your own. But remember, I have to approve any costume you wanna intoduce okay?"

Minore was looking around at anything and anyone that happened to catch his eyes as they walked. After looking around the dressing room, Minore nodded to Reiko with a smile.

Reiko smiled softly. "Glad you're okay with it." He then pointed to a door across the way marked Showtime. "That my dear Min is where you go to get on the stage. Just be sure you are fully dressed and made up before you go through that door." He pushed it open and waved for Minore to follow. Once Min was in the hallway and on the stairs, he stopped the bearer and pointed up. "You see that blacony? That's our 'Sneak Peek' lounge. People pay extra money to stand here and watch you ascend the stairs. So that's why you must be perfect before you open that door, okay?"

Minore nodded, eyes roaming the hall before walking up the stairs. He wanted to see the stage. Pausing to look to Reiko, he motioned for him to come with him.

Reiko smiled warmly. Minore seemed to have this air of excited curiosity under his silent ordered exterior. It was refreshing everytime Min looked in his eyes.
Of course Reiko followed. "Bearer's first."
But he stopped Min at the top. He had heard the music and knew that one of his people were most likely practicing their routine. That could mean that they could be in any position dressed in absolutely nothing. "Hold on Min. Lemme see who is out there." He asked as he shimmied past Min and crested the stairs.
Much to Reiko's relief, it was Jaisi and Akiko. They were practicing fully dressed and pretty tame.
Reiko frowned for a second. He suddenly remembered their argument the day before. It was pretty heated and he was sure they weren't going to let it drop easy.
Reiko stepped out onto the stage silently. Calmly, he cleared his throat loud enough to catch their attention. "Hey?" He offered quietly.
"Hey." Akiko nodded but didn't add anything to kill the uncomfortable silence.
"Ummm..." Reiko began again not much braver. "Min wants to see the stage. May I let him come up? "
Akiko looked to Jaisi questioning and both nodded simultaneously. "Yeah, let him up."
"Thanks." Reiko smiled gently. "It's okay min. Come on up."

Minore walked up and saw the other two. Waving, the bearer smile before turning in circles to look aroundthe stage.

While Min caught his first glimpses of the Main Stage, Reiko silently approached Jaisi and Akiko. "Sorry I was so snippy the other night. I hadn't had any sleep and I was sick to my stomach. It gave me a short temper and an anger streak. Min took me in and I feel better today."
Jaisi and Akiko both nodded to each other with knowing smirks before they turned their attention back to Reiko. "It's okay." Akiko smiled. "Hey, are you going to show him the private cabanas yet?"
Reiko's hopeful smile fell into a disgusted grimace. "No. He's my exclusive partner. He will not be doing private party dances." And with that, Reiko offered, "Thank you for accepting my apology. I had better get back to Minore before he falls off the edge oof the stage."
Sure enough, when he looked back to Min, the boy was headed for the dark edge of the front of the stage. He actually had to grab the back of Min's shirt to stop him. "HEY! You're gonna fall off."

Minore gasped in silent shock when he was pulled back. Large, silver eyes turning to look up at the giver. The bearer let out a calming breath before giving Reiko a look that told him that he had been scared from that.

Reiko let go and waved his hands in the air in a way of showing that he was unarmed. Min's shocked look had anit of fire in it and he wasn't ready for an attack.
"Hey," He offered gently. "You were headed for a 6' fall. I don't mind being bruised. But I won't let it happen to you."

Minore blushed in embarrassment. He mouthed a thank you to the giver before walking back towards the hallway. The bearer stepped down the stairs quickly, pausing to wait for Reiko.

"Hey Wait," Reiiko called. "Don't leave yet. I wanna show you where that edge is and let you get a feel for this stage. I'm sure Jaisi and Akiko don't mind. Right guys?"

Minore slowly ascended the stairs. Stopping once he was back on stage, he looked to Akiko and Jaisi questioningly.
