Hotaru hated that Sybil had been talking through her, knowing that was the whole reason Sybil was determined to possess her- they wouldn't willingly attack her, even if Sybil was verbally torturing them. She looked at Larel when he talked about resting and playing GO. She shook her head at the offer for darkness, "I'll be fine. Just give me a few minutes to get my head back in order," she murmured, rubbing her arm. It was almost weird that she could already tell it was healing, but much slower than any cuts or the like had done. Which made sense. The bone had been broken, "Are you okay though?" she looked at Larel, "Last time she came out you let her stab you," she muttered, still not happy about that incident. It wasn't long enough ago for her to have forgotten about it. She was just hoping that it didn't happen again. She still somewhat blamed herself for it since it was her body and her weapon that attacked him even if wasn't her will. 
She looked up when the door opened, Mera re-entering the room. Hotaru frowned, never having seen such a frazzled expression on her face before. She also flinched a little because she could see the mark on her face from where the board had hit her. Mera waved her hand, the boards in the room groaning as they all snapped back in to place, She walked back to where she had been before and sat down.
"I apologize for your arm, Hotaru.... Mary will be staying with Raina and Eryn tonight so you do not have to endure Alari if you don't wish to, Larel," she said, her voice empty of emotions at the moment. She was holding herself together as tight as she could, not letting anything back out. It was all she could do to keep her composure, to not let that damned demon get that victory of seeing her completely come undone. Mera closed her eyes, breathing out, sinking in to a sort of meditative state as she tried to calm down.
Hotaru took a deep breath, hating hearing how monotone her voice was and the guilt for that fell on her shoulders too. She had to get better control over this. She had to wonder if Larel could control Zenmaru without that seal or if she had to find someway to trick Sybil in to it. She would do whatever she had to do to fix this. She couldn't let Sybil do anymore damage.
