Larel noticed Mary on his way back and let out a small sigh as he was hoping to get back before her, he walked a few feet behind her keeping enough distance to remain comfortable. Once he made it back to the inn he made sure to follow where Mary went to find the room before he watched her walk in. Larel walked shortly after her and leaned against the far wall, he came in around the time Hotaru drank from the gourd and watched taking a guess what was inside of it. Going off her reluctance to drink it he guessed correctly, he wondered if Mary had any extra's of those since his wasn't exactly 'contained' in anything. He said nothing as the two conversed closing his eyes and lingering in one of the shadows, it seemed Mary could take charge when she needed too, he didn't expect to see such behavior out of her, at the very least it made it easier to be in the same room as her and he believed she did so out of some care for Hotaru. He opened his eyes and stared at her crossing his arms as the two finished speaking, he tapped his finger on his arm before walking out of the shadows deciding to speak up. "I brought more Mary-san but I didn't really have anything to put it in so..." Larel trailed off before looking at his shadow. "I stuck him in there, he won't die anytime soon but I should probably find something to put it in sooner or later, Zenmaru's not going to ignore him forever." The guy in his shadow was the type he would assassinate for half price if given the opportunity, if Hotaru didn't want him he was seriously considering killing him anyway, that or just letting Zenmaru have him. He was still considering it but he couldn't deny that the idea was incredibly tempting the more he thought about it. Larel glanced over at the door starting to worry a bit about Mera, Alari was still there after all and he doubted he was going to keep the ten feet rule. There were other things on his mind to attend to one being Hotaru that kept him there. He also found some comfort knowing Mera could hurt Alari if she needed too, though he considered it his job to make him suffer. "Your body will start beating your mind if you don't drink Hotaru, having Sybil in there probably doesn't help," Larel said bringing a hand to his chin. "Drink enough to satiate your hunger and avoid that possibility. I'm here to help anyway I can but if you lose yourself it'll take me awhile to bring you back and I don't want you to do something you'll regret during that time." [b]"I say let it happen."[/b] Hearing a familiar voice caused Larel to glance back as his shadow slowly lifted up forming the dark silhouette that was Zenmaru, the familiar toothy grin formed on it as she shrugged what he assumed was her shoulders. [b]"Let her eventually snap and Sybil take control, tear apart anything unfortunate enough to be in your way. It's not like she won't come back once she's done feeding. She'll just be covered in the blood of most of the people in the village. If she doesn't realize the necessity of it at the point she never will."[/b] "Zenmaru your opinion isn't necessary in this discussion," Larel said looking over his shoulder at her. [b]"I'm just saying it's an option, I mean her mind might not remember but her body certainty will, you can't wash that scent off either. Oh there is the possibility her mind will be active but her body won't be in control, that would be even be-"[/b] "Zenmaru," Larel said turning fully towards her. With a shrug Zenmaru sunk back into his shadow causing Larel to reach up his and rub his forehead, she always came around when it wasn't needed and added to the conversation in the worst way. "I'm sorry about that," Larel said shaking his head. "I was focused on my 'guest' I won't let her come back again. This goes without saying but don't listen to her Hotaru." Larel checked his shadow once more to make sure she wasn't moving before walking over to Mary and reaching in his sleeve; Larel pulled out the dango from his meal and held it out towards Mary glancing over at her. "Here Mary-san," Larel said. "Its not much but it's an apology for my earlier behavior." Kaori crossed his arms trying to wrap his head around what Eryn was telling him, as he listened he nodded his head slowly coming to understand what he meant. Hearing it was her masterpiece just made him want to see it more. Kaori repeated the information to himself to try and understand it better, it seemed to work for the most part. Mera's tattoo's explained who she was and it was how she remembered the things present in her life, that was certainly beautiful in its own way. Kaori closed his eyes envisioning the rose again, it was subtle back then and he noted then it was detailed but knowing the meaning behind it gave it a bit more life and he wondered if there was a kind of weight too it perhaps. He was curios if Mera ever felt sad when she thought of the tattoo's of those that have passed on, but in the end his head started hurting causing him to stop thinking about it. He looked over at Eryn before looking back at the two, he couldn't really hear them but he focused his attention on Alari since he seemed to be more honest with his emotions when he was around Mera, he still hid most of them but all he needed to catch was his embarrassment. "It seems like they're done I think," Kaori said folding his arms under his chest. "If not we can just go on ahead and give them more time." He caught what Eryn said as he trailed off about Mera and everything in him told him to inquire further but Alari's words echoed in his head as he attempted. Alari told him not to ask about Mera behind her back. Kaori didn't realize it was because he would ask questions that shouldn't be asked but Alari made it clear he shouldn't do so without asking her personally first. "They would make a fascinating one wouldn't they," Kaori said smiling a little. "I wish Oji-san would be a bit more honest though." Alari took a deep breath when Mera stopped and turned back to him, he had a bit of difficulty finding the right words to explain the favor. While searching for the write explanation Mera gave an answer to how long the three would probably be staying with them. Hearing it wouldn't be too long his eyes drooped a little and he gave a small nod sad that it would happen so soon. He knew Kaori wasn't going to like it when Mary was going to leave, not that he was either and looking at Mera he could see her already worrying over her eventual departure. Alari brought his hand to his chin, seeing her expression like that he wasn't going to ask for his favor it could wait for another time after all. There was still something that would make his work a little easier and it'd give him more than enough reason to finish as quickly and efficiently as possible. "Well my favor is when you see me again I'd appreciate a 'welcome back'," Alari said adjusting his glasses. "Kaori always gives me one...but I would like to hear one from you... It'll make me come back faster so I can hear it sooner." Alari offered a small grin already excited at the possibility of it, he looked back toward the village digging in his sleeve before pulling out the flower that Mary had made back at the village, when he took Rin back the flower ended up in his possession. "Spend as much time with her now then Mera," he said holding the flower out to her looking back at Mera. "Why don't we head back so you can do so?"
