Larel couldn't put into words how much he hated this person, if Alari didn't exist she'd be at the top of his list. Speaking of Alari he seemed to be watching her with the same calm expression as always, he could hear Zenmaru chuckling a little but she wouldn't clarify why and just told him to listen. When she spoke to Mera Larel felt immense rage threaten to consume him she had the gall to not only take over his friend but now she was messing with his master, Larel started to take a step forward but stopped feeling a hand on his shoulder. He glanced behind him only to see Alari shake his head, Alari didn't like what was going on either but responding to Sybil wasn't the best thing right now, as much as he may want too, for now he urged him with his eyes not to speak. It took an immense amount of willpower but Larel clenched his fists as Sybil continued to speak to Mera, he understood why Alari was stopping him, Mary wasn't back with them yet if he stepped in and started arguing with her she'd just be gone longer, or at least that's what he assumed...which confused him as that showed Alari had a heart which wasn't a possibility. Alari put his glasses back on as Sybil finished, making Mera cry was unforgivable, if he was a different person he would have gone back on his word, but he was thankful he had a sense of honor at least. He turned his attention to the ceiling hearing the thunk upstairs, Alari could guess what that was and going off Mera's speedy exit she understood as well. Larel looked back at Hotaru seeing some of the red in her eyes had left, though he could see some in the corners, he walked over to her and knelt down before taking hold of her broken arm. "Hold on and clench your teeth," Larel said before promptly snapping it back into place. "There we go." Larel took a few steps back before kneeling in front of her knowing she was going to need a bit of an explanation. "Sybil came out and was well...Sybil, she said some stuff, messed with Mera-sama by taking Mary, talked about you a bit." "Nothing too personal of course, some comments on your feelings of blood," Alari added leaning against the wall. "Mera-sama's with Mary right now, it's good to have you back Hotaru." Alari stared at Larel for a moment adjusting his glasses before he noticed Larel's gaze move back to him for a moment, he arched a brow seeing this before Larel spoke. "Alari...with Zenmaru did you...." Larel started to speak but just ended up trailing off. "Never mind..." Alari stared at him for a moment before smiling having a feeling where that was going and glanced towards the door. "Kaori," Alari said. Kaori stepped out from around the corner looking over at Hotaru for a moment before handing Alari his notebook. "Did you get everything?" Alari said flipping through it. "I know it wasn't expected but..." "Of course Oji-san just as you said." Alari had stopped by the room on his way back after cleaning up the bodies and asked Kaori to stand outside the room and keep watch so something wouldn't get the jump on them again, he gave one of his notebooks just in case something happened in the room, he hadn't expected Sybil to fully come out but the opportunity helped anyway. "Good and since she was 'enjoying herself' there was a good chance she wasn't lying, that extra information will be beneficial in my study," Alari said putting the notebook in his sleeve. "Wh are you going on about now?" Larel asked as Alari adjusted his glasses the glare forming on them. "Did you know I worked at a Kabuki theater for awhile?" Alari said smiling a little. "What's that got do with anything?" Alari didn't respond and turned his back to the two, Kaori smiled and waved to them before running out of the door. "My business is concluded, leave Mera with her sister for the time being and come to the room when you feel like it." Alari said before walking towards the door, he stopped in the frame however and glanced back at him. "Oh and Larel Sybil can't take something from Hotaru no matter what she does, I planted the seeds back then to ensure that. Make sure to support your friend, I'd like those seeds to grow." With that Alari walked out the door and turned to head back to his own, for a moment he ended stopping to up look up the stairs, he did want to check on Mary but he wasn't going to interrupt the two. Larel wasn't entirely sure what Alari meant by that but he didn't like that Alari was 'planting' whatever with his friend, though Alari only said that since only Mera understood the reference and he wanted to move things around a bit more. "How are you feeling Hotaru? Are you okay?"
