Mary was finding containers that might be best to store extra in, figuring it would be better to have something on hand if one of the urges hit. Normal gypsy blood could reverse what a pureblood's venom usually did to their victims, Mera's managed to nullified it, she had no idea what her blood might do her, and Larel might actually get a taste of the enzyme that caused their victims to go weak in the knees, begging for more. She found a good sized gourd, something that wouldn't show off its contents, and started back towards the pub. They couldn't just use one victim to satisfy Hotaru know and prepare more for later. She had to find another for this and it wasn't going to be easy not to be repulsed. She found a particularly.... lovely gentleman who gave her the kind of looks that made her wonder if his blood would be tainted or not, but he was the easier target to get at the moment. She started down an alley, reaching in to the sleeve of the cloak. It was Mera's old cloak, so digging around enough turned up a small blade sewn in to the hem of the sleeve. Whenever she reached the end of the alley, the man came up behind her and went to grab her. She made so rue to use Mera's old training advice to him and managed to pull him forward and knocked him out. She glanced around and she hoisted up his arm, opening the gourd. Eryn chuckled a bit, "It really isn't too hard to do. As you said, they are beautiful, in their own ways, and all I did was find a way to accent what they had. Could you tell Hotaru was nobility for once?" he smirked as he looked over at him, "I tried really hard to give her the nice clothes and then she went and sliced my kimono," he sniffed, crossing his arms, "One day I will find a way to show off some of the best tattoos on Mera, though some of them will only by seen by her one day husband as they were put on by Ferran to hide some damage done to her," he mused, "All but Mary has one or two of those kinds of tattoos on us," he put his hand on his arm as he thought about it, seeming a bit distance for a moment, then shook it off, "But the bush on her back is really the best one she's got. Ferran started it and I finished it. She's got flowers representing different family members," he explained, nodding. Mera sighed a bit when he mentioned that having someone worried about him would be a good reminder, "Of course I worry about you, you idiot. It's your fault I'm so worried about you," She mumbled, not exactly wanting to admit it, much less to his face, "And I suppose it's a start," she mumbled, meaning him telling her about his favorite food being the soup, "How long am I going to be babysitting that one?" she asked, nodding her head towards Kaori, since Alari had already made it clear that Kaori wasn't a part of this dangerous scheme that seemed like it was the only possible answer in Alari's book. She figured Raina would be gone soon enough, but Eryn would probably wait to find a place where he could take up his business again, and soon enough their numbers would have dwindled back to their original group. She didn't know how long she could keep Mary close, out of harms way... or at least in a way that she could protect her from the harm.
