Kaori looked over Mary seeing her turn red before tilting his head, when she looked at him he arched a brow before looking over at Alari wondering if he knew what was going on. Alari shrugged his shoulders at it but he was pretty sure he could guess what Mary was just told especially after that look she had just given Kaori, he decided not to say anything about it. One of the things Kaori was actually proud of was his art and Alari wasn't about to start a conversation that would cause him to go into explicit detail why he painted such things. Alari didn't know and he wasn't curious enough to want to find out either and planned on keeping it that way as long as possible.
Larel glanced over at Hotaru when she told him what Mary just had the pleasure of finding out, he hung his head slightly and put his hand over his face giving a small nod. He didn't say it out loud but he actually felt a little for Mary, personally he just came to hate Kaori more when he found out and sadly that information was something that couldn't be unheard.
Alari looked over at Mera when she spoke to him just smiling and adjusted his glasses without saying anything, mostly because Larel's eyes were locked on him seeing he was engaged in a conversation with Mera again. Alari figured it would be for the best not to answer that question right now and just stood up brushing off his kimono.
"I'm ready to go," Alari said before looking over at Kaori who stood up and nodded.
"We never seem to find hot springs which is a shame I could go for one right now," Kaori said with a little sigh.
"You're going in one alone," Alari said shaking his head.
"That's cruel Oji-san, really cruel," Kaori responded averting his eyes.
Alari wasn't about to fall for something like that but he didn't disagree with him, if there was a moment he was going to check for one in the area on his own time later.
Larel ignored the two of them and stood up grabbing his sword before putting it back on his back. He adjusted it a little before rotating his arm ready to move on away from this forest and everything that dwell within it. Hearing Hotaru words to Eryn and Mera Larel glanced at her but turned his attention back towards the forest, Alari meanwhile watched as Kaori collected his cups and put them back in the medicine box before closing it. Kaori lifted the the medicine box up and put it on his back before walking over to Alari standing next to him.
"I'll return to my duties then," Alari said nodding before taking a few steps back into the shadows of the tree his presence fading, Kaori raised his hand to everyone before stepping into the shadows after him.
Larel admitted that Kaori was good at hiding, he had just watched him walk in there but he couldn't feel a thing from it, that or he just didn't have that much of a presence.
"Well at least I can't see him anymore," Larel said turning back around. "Don't forget Alari, within ten feet of Mera-sama and your head in mine."
Alari walked out of the shadow of a tree fifteen feet away raising his hand to show his distance before stepping back into the shadows.
"Good shall we get going then?" Larel said looking at everyone else.
