Mera sighed a bit at Larel's threat of space between her and Alari. She rubbed her forehead and Mary frowned a bit and she started to suggest at following back with Alari as she had been before but Mera shook her head when she opened her mouth, "I would like to keep you in sight just a little bit longer," she said, ruffling her hair a bit before stretching her arms over her head, "Let's get going," she said with a nod to Larel since he had asked, "Let's go quickly, but if we reach the edge of the woods before the sun has gone down, we'll have to stop so I can at least give my cloak to Hotaru," she said and Hotaru nodded, not keen on finding out with full exposure and no coverage. Mera took off, Mary only a few steps behind and Eryn right behind. Hotaru trailed after them, not wanting to be the first one to find out the sun was nice and bright by charging out of the trees if she was at the front. 
Along the way, Raina woke and was able to run on her own, only planning on following to the next village so she could get her bearings on a direction to leave in. Mera had no objection to it, though Mary wished her sisters could get along just a little better, like they once did when they would play pranks on people because of how much they looked alike. Mera did end up having to give her cloak to Hotaru as at the pace the group usually moved she assumed they would get to the edge right about sundown and Hotaru had had a close call a couple times along the way when there was a sudden opening between the branches that allowed for the sunlight to come through and give her a quick singe. 
When they did find their way to the edge of the tree line, Mera stopped, to which Eryn thanked her immensely, not used to running quite so much anymore.
"I suppose it's about time to rest on some of our parts," Mera put her hands on her hips, sighing a bit. She hated not having on her cloak, but Hotaru was holding it close around herself with her back to the sunlight coming right at them, so she would just have to suck it up until they got her a new one. However, not having her arms hidden reminded Mera of her plan to get new tattoos on her hands, which she looked at as she thought about it. 
"Hotaru and Larel, if you would like to go on ahead, you can go secure a place for us to stay tonight. Raina and Mary can go along with you so Raina can go away and Mary can start to get some proper sleep," she looked at the two of them, crossing her arms.
Hotaru looked at Larel, wondering what he would want to do. She personally liked the idea of getting out of the sunlight as soon as possible, but she wasn't sure how Larel would like towing Mera's sisters long with them since he had an issue of being in close proximity to Mary. 
"I'll stay really far back," Mary said quietly, trying to be helpful.
