Mera's brows furrowed as she realized Alari was dead set against that fishing village and she looked at Mary who nodded, "She hasn't got a preference so I'm taking both our votes. Sorry, Larel, but he seems to have something he's quite dead set against running in to at that fishing village and it would be best to avoid any confrontations at this point if there's any kind of forewarning, right?" she gave a small smile, hoping he wouldn't be mad at her since he already didn't seem to like her, "Perhaps for now we should just go to the other village." "And avoid the smell of fish, that's preferable too," Eryn said simply, "When there's just mountains of fish carcasses as there always are in fishing villages, the smell is absolutely horrible," he made a face thinking abut it, "And you get the stink eye from all the locals." "You sound quite familiar with the experience," Mera said as she and Mary finished their tea, setting the cups down. "Well I had to pass through a couple on my pilgrimage," Eryn explained, "They were never happy I was there and I realize my persuasion might have had a lot to do with it considering I was usually wearing a rather... bright color... But honestly the smell, please Larel, don't make us endure that," he clasped his hands together before finishing up Raina's bandages, having to borrow a few from Alari's box, "I will make you whatever dish you can think of in the next village if you do not make me suffer the smell of that many fish," he added. Hotaru sighed, "Even if I were to say yes to the fishing village, we've been out numbered," she said, shaking her head, "Mera, Mary, Eryn, and Alari are all saying no, and Kaori will be on their side because you scare him and I'm still tempted to skewer him the next time he insults me accidentally or not," she said, motioning in his direction, "We could always split up, but Mary is fond of Alari and Kaori and would go with them to favor Alari's opinion, and Mera is being a mother hen-" a humph from said gypsy- "And wouldn't let her out of her sight and would end up going with them and you don't trust Alari so long as he's breathing and so we would end up going that way anyways," she surmised which caused Eryn to smirk and then frown. "Hey why doesn't my decision affect anything?" He put his hands on his sides. "Same reason Kaori's really doesn't." "That's just rude." "You've both insulted her countless times today, you expect her to be nice?" Mera raised a brow to which Eryn just pouted, "Anyways, her prediction is about spot on. Unless you plan to contest that, Larel, I'm guess this means we're going to the other village, which honestly is probably a better chance for us to get the right kind of fabric to make Hotaru a new cloak and have better choices in food outside of fish," she said. "Just more people..." Hotaru mumbled under her breath, pinching the bridge of her nose, but she waited to hear the final decision on the matter, though there wasn't much mystery in it. "Based on your information, which way would be the quickest way," Mera looked back at Alari, deciding the same conclusion and figured they should figure out what way they were going before they got the camp cleaned up.
