Benno pulled his pack up on his shoulder as he opened the door.
When he had told Aurelia of his brother she immediately thought of the Kit Kat Klub.
Benno's stomach wretched, why would his brother work in a place like this, let alone become the Emcee?
It smelled of smoke and blood and the patrons licked their lips at his entrance. He gritted his teeth and sat down at the back of the club.
If his brother was here, he'd have a couple things to say to him.
((Phoenix? Lucy? Anybody?))

*Phoenix glided forward, her manner cool and yet inviting, dressed in tails and top hat a la Dietrich. She'd settled into her new role as manager and emcee. The young man who had just entered had reminded her of someone, and as she drew closer she faltered a little at just how familiar. Was he back? Already? She tried to quash the traitorous note of disappointment--he'd been good to her, giving her this chance, and she would have to be graceful and give it up again.
But it wasn't him. She stopped next to him, one hand on her hip, and smiled.*
"Evening," *she said, her voice throaty.* "Aren't you a sight for sore eyes. My name's Phoenix, and I'm your host tonight."

*Phoenix raised an eyebrow. Same accent, too. She wondered, for a moment, if he wasn't playing a trick on her.*
"C'mon. Let's go somewhere we can hear ourselves think; they're going on again in a minute."
*She offered her arm, intending to lead him to the office.*

Benno looked around as they walked to the office, he prayed silently that this wasn't the place his brother worked at.
If it was, he'd have to have a serious talk with him.
They walked in the door and Benno turned to the woman as she closed the door "Danke schon."

*Phoenix's smile was sweet, at odds, perhaps, with this place. She sat on the edge of a desk and offered Benno the chair.*
"No problem. It gets a little loud out there. Now, I'm guessing you're looking for a relative. A brother, say?"

*Phoenix smiled fondly.*
"Yeah, you're in the right place. Or you were--he's on vacation, but he'll be back. He left me in charge, while he's away."
*She peered at him.*
"What's your name, then?"

"Benno Von Wolfensburg, Ben if you vould."
He sighed.

"Ben," *she said. It sounded so ordinary, considering how he would never tell her his name. They looked so much alike, it was uncanny. The eyes were different, but the body...
The memories did things to her.*
"I'm sorry he's not here. Can I help, somehow?"

*Phoenix frowned.*
"You mean you don't know him?" *she asked.* "Why, that's awful. He's... he's the most amazing person I've ever met," *she said, bluntly.* "I don't know, it's hard to describe. He's so... dynamic. Y'know?"

He looked up at Phoenix "He sounds like fun" he said in an overly boyish tone.

*Phoenix blinked. That was where he'd come from? People like that? Then again... She'd had a mother, too.
Her mouth twitched.*
"They didn't want him to be a priest, did they?"

"No" he said softly and pulled out a necklace with a star of David on it "rabbi."
