Arielle was certainly impressed with the apartment. But that didn't matter to Aiden much. What mattered to him was that she was there with him. "It's back there." he said while pointing. "And sorry to disappoint but no tiger paws," he laughed.

Aiden took Arielle's hand and started to lead her down the hallway. He opened the door to reveal a room much like the rest of the apartment except for the giant bed in the center of it. He let her marvel at this room for a moment. "See, no tiger paws."

Then Aiden took a step closer to Arielle so that he was right next to her and much like when they stood by the curb, began to kiss her with passion. It was restrained though, he did not want to force her into something he didn't want.

Aiden couldn't help but laugh at Arielle's joke. "And the M&M's will never know what hit them." The valet had certainly noted their arrival at the curb and immediately went to go get Aiden's car. The Jaguar pulled up right about now, making the timing perfect.

"You're right, we need to get out of the cold," said the feline mutant as he helped Arielle into her seat. Wasting little time and wanting to show off, Aiden slid across the hood on his bottom to the other side of the car.

Getting in he asked, "I know I promised you a night of dancing and that failed. But would you care to go to my apartment seeing as how I don't want to take you back just yet?"

OOC: I'll try to mention the registration act thing if I can think of something.

IC: "Well, you're in luck. My tiger form has a white coat." Aiden laughed at the coincidence. "Hmm...molecular manipulation huh? That sounds kind of broad to me. What kind of things can you do with that?"

The shifter saw that she had looked at her hands while she spoke. He figured that her power must be related to hand motions or direct contact. Having finishe "The Dance", Aiden's fingers began to play the tune "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrisson. He thought it was appropriate.

Alexandra seemed startled as she answered his question. Aiden had figured that she zoned out while listening to the piano. He could do the same thing with music as well. Just forget where he was and drift through his thoughts.

Aiden shifted his song to something less classical for the next piece. He played The Dance by Garth Brooks to shift the mood of the room. "I am a weretiger shifter. Along with enhanced hearing and sight. And yours?"

I say something like this gold that Kat picked out orange-gold = ffa40d

Aiden was delighted to find that Arielle wanted to dance again. And even a third time. The third song changed everything though. As they danced closer Aiden grew more uneasy. Not that it was unpleasant. Aiden was having the time of his life. The thought came into his head of kissing Arielle but there was something that held him back.

Aiden was so lost in the song and dancing with Arielle, that even with his enhanced senses he didn't know that everyone in the room had stopped and turned to watch them as they waltzed. The weretiger shifter wouldn't have liked that fact. He would rather have had a good time and gone unnoticed.

The song eventually ended and Aiden's senses started to work perfectly again. It was as rather unsettling experience to see him turning around to find hundreds of eyes starring back at him. He started to think it was a good thing he hadn't kissed her.

He acted as if dancing in a ball room with Arielle were an everyday occurence though and walked her back to their table. The gasps of the crowd from seeing his eyes were loud to his ears as they walked. Aiden hoped that Arielle couldn't hear their whispers.

"Let's take a break for now. How about we sit and talk some more?"

Aiden was laying lazily on the bed watching the television. Not that there was anything good on, it was just something to do. It had become rather boring going over the mission briefing time and again. He could almost recite it by rote now.

The shifter had not been idle during his stay though he had managed to secure a waiting job in the place where the tournament would be held. Along with a few other loose ends that he thought of while he was there. He had reveiwed the schematics of the entire building and picked places that would be most likely to house the captive.

Aiden just had to clear a few things about the plan with his associate before the day of the tournament to get everything squared away. Then came the sound of footsteps. Heavy footsteps. Aiden assumed it would be his partner and if it wasn't he wouldn't be bothered.

Assuming it was the Australian mutant Aiden got up and unlocked the his door which connected the two of their rooms which were so generously provided by the Kabal. They were quite nice even for Aiden to tell the truth.

Having done that, Aiden went back to lounging on the bed and watching television.
