'Why did I agree to this?'
With an internal sigh, the dark faunus watched as her partner wandered around ahead of her, looking around in search. When Yang threw out the suggestion of going clubbing, she almost immediately refused. For one thing, they were too young for that kind of thing. Granted, they could just barely pass for being older than they actually were (which she realized was what Yang was counting on), but it was the principal of the matter.
Besides, part of the reason she joined Beacon was to stay out of trouble with the law, not to get into more of it (which may be a possibility given her partner). And why she doesn't worry about being identified as a former member of the White Fang, there is a (paranoid) part of her that worries that some random person would identify her and…well, she never thinks that far about it (ergo, paranoia).
And there is the thing was that, well it didn't seem like it would be her type of environment. Anyone who knew of her personality knew that she's the type of person to be found someplace quiet, like a library (which is her favorite place). A club or any type of places that required, well, loud, was just not her forte. Surely, Yang had to have to know that.
-"You never know until you try."-
Ultimately and surprisingly, she agreed to go. Initially, she agreed only to keep Yang out of trouble (if that was a possibility), but if she was to be honest, she was a little curious about it. Her reservations notwithstanding, it wasn't something she had experienced, at least not with friends. Perhaps something like this with her partner could, at the very least, turn out to be an enlightened experience.
"There it is!"
Looking up at said club, she found it didn't look as bad as she imagined; possibly a bit on the shady side, but nothing outright illegal or anything of the sort. Still, it didn't help her defenses any, at least no more at usual. But then Yang put a hand on her shoulder and smiled, which was more reassuring than her typical grin.
"You ready?"
Was she? She knew she was going out of her comfort zone, but perhaps she needed to try this, just once? Looking back at her partner, she nodded with conviction.
"Ready."

"Well, that escalated quickly."
Both Huntresses-in-training were now a few blocks away from the club that they had entered after having run out. They had to, given what had happened. It all started well enough; after getting in through the bouncer, she led Blake around to the bar to help Blake acclimate to the environment before they hit the dance floor.
During this time, she talked to her to further put her at ease. She even managed to throw in a few teasing remarks about Blake's relationship with Sun and what they had done during the two days she had disappeared. It turns out teasing Blake was a lot more fun than teasing Ruby. Blake usually works to keep up an indifferent appearance, but if you knew what buttons to press, the facade would crack as demonstrated when her cheeks went go flush, if briefly.
Returning back to the bar, she was seen that Blake was definitely relaxed. With the moves that she used on the dance floor, she would be. Blake had a natural and silky grace in her movements. She had seen her in battle use those same movements, so it wasn't too surprising. Still, it was different to see them here and one thing was sure.
She definitely had some serious dance moves.
So she shouldn't have been surprised by the attention they both had attracted. A group of guys soon approached them and as expected, they started flirting with them. She was well used to this sort of attention and naturally flirted back, but she hoped Blake wouldn't be too out-put by it. And while she could tell that her partner was a bit perturbed, she managed to return to her air of slight indifference and even began a polite conversation with one of them. Then one of them began reaching for her ribbon at which she instinctively reacted, grabbing the guy's wrist and twisting it to his back. Letting go, she started to apologize, but the guy became enraged and starts to call her a very nasty word.
Which soon followed with a flare of red eyes and several minutes of beaten bodies later...
"I'm sorry about all of that."
When Blake looked up at her questioningly, she went on. "I thought that maybe tonight, you'd be able to let yourself loose a little, but it looks like you were right. All I've done was cause trouble."
Yang didn't have any objections in getting into trouble. It may as well be her middle name. But involving others in it was something that would never settle well with her. And she had hoped tonight would be a good experience for Blake, but instead, it turned into a disaster. Looking at her partner, she saw her head lower and her shoulder begin to hitch, as though she was about to cry. And then Blake did something that she rarely ever does, even around them.
She laughed...
...Out loud.
"I haven't had that much fun in- I can't remember how long."
Thoroughly surprised, she had no choice, but to return the laugh. "At least not since that food fight."
"True."
