Larel arched a brow at the first part of what Mera said but if that was her request then he would comply with it. He nodded as she confirmed where he was at, though he wasn’t really sure what to think about him hanging around Mary much less speaking with her, while he wondered if he should pursue it he heard Hotaru speak to Mera mentioning something about Mary staying in the room with them.
When she explained why Larel brought a hand to his mouth for a moment, Mera cared for Mary and he couldn’t let his own feelings of the matter put Mary in unnecessary danger, though he didn’t know how much Sybil could be trusted even with information like that. In the end he decided not to say anything since he also had to ask his favor, which meant he needed to speak with her anyway.
“Well I’ll go find him then,” Larel said starting to leave but froze when a familiar voice reached his ears.
“Oji-san you’re back!”
Larel physically flinched hearing Kaori, he reached up and put his hand over his face shaking his head slightly, putting aside they were in the same inn he wasn’t sure where Kaori’s enthusiasm came from, lowering his hand he let out a sigh.
“Alari Wisdom come here,” Larel said crossing his arms.
He barely said the words but within a few minutes a shadow stood outside the door, Larel looked over at it and lowered his arms as it was clear he was there.
“Why aren’t you coming in?”
“Well I’d be breaking the ten foot rule if I did,” Alari said from the other side of the door.
“Just get in here.”
“Are you sure I’d rather not have a sword-”
“Get in here!”
Alari walked in cleaning his glasses and his eyes went right to Larel, he noticed he was uncomfortable with him in the room but he was resisting attacking him so it must be something important to have him hold back.
“Alari I need a favor,” Larel said narrowing his eyes at him a little.
Alari continued to clean his glasses and stared at him in silence, once he finished he placed them back on his face adjusting them once before moving his hands in his sleeves.
“This is rarity what do you need?” he asked smiling at him.
Larel swallowed the words that almost came out seeing that smile on Alari’s face and closed his eyes to regain his composure before speaking again.
“Can you put a seal on Hotaru to silence Sybil?”
Alari looked over at Hotaru for a moment before looking back at him.
“Indeed I can if she will permit me to do so,” Alari said. “It won’t completely silence her though since I don’t know Sybil as well I know Zenmaru and I’d have to make a custom one for her which would require-”
“Can you make one?” Larl said cutting him off.
“I can have one ready by tomorrow,” Alari said.
“Would you be able to make one sooner than that…perhaps tonight?”
A glare formed on Alari’s glasses which surprised Larel since there was no absolute light in the room, and Alari decided to note the shift in Larel’s tone at his request for a moment before he spoke.
“Not possible,” he said adjusting his glasses and making the glare go away. “Tomorrow morning I’ll have it complete.”
“Fine…it’s not like I can ask anyone else,” Larel said. “I don’t like owing you a favor but if you can do it I’d appreciate it.”
“You don’t have to owe me anything Larel,” Alari said. “I’m more than happy to do it.”
“Lying isn’t helping you right now Wisdom.”
“I’m not lying I’m fine with doing it.”
Larel turned his head slightly his eyes scanning Alari for a moment before he spoke again crossing his arms.
“Why are you alright it, are you going to curse Hotaru or something?”
“No but Hotaru is your friend right?”
“Yes.”
“That’s good enough for me.”
Larel arms fell to his sides as Alari smiled at him again, he seemed dumbfounded for a moment as he stared at Alari, it took him a moment to realize he was serious and return to his blank faced self.
 “Well….that’s…fine then…since you’re being so generous I’m staying in your room so get out.”
“What?”
“Mary’s staying in this room so I’m staying in yours, I feel like I make her uncomfortable for some reason.”
Alari admitted he was proud Larel made that observation but he was saddened he couldn’t exactly identify why.
“…..alright you can stay in ours,” Alari said a small smile on his face.
Larel arched a brow a bit concerned at how easy he agreed to it but shrugged his shoulders deciding not to question it. Alari was going to be gone for most of the night so he would be sharing it with Kaori which didn’t bother Alari as it kept him from being completely alone.
“Of course I still intend on playing GO with Hotaru so I’ll head over once I go to bed,” Larel said. “When I do you’ll leave?”
“Of course,” Alari said adjusting his glasses. “Now before I get to work on the seal.”
Alari looked over at Hotaru and brought a hand to his chin, he smiled a little as he had to confirm something before he got to work on it.
“Hotaru I’m more than happy to do so but I want to confirm it with you, do you want me to place a seal on you for Sybil.”
He was sure Larel asked because of Hotaru but it would save trouble from Larel later if he heard it from Hotaru specifically. While he waited for her answer he felt a strong desire to glance at Mera but Larel’s gaze was locked on him waiting for any reason to assault him and he was sure that would serve as more than enough reason.
