Hotaru was awake, having been awake since Raina entered the room, but she decided to ignore whatever she was doing and tried to get back to sleep. She opened her eyes when she heard Mera exit through the window and slowly got up so she didn't wake Larel. She went over to the window and looked around, getting the understanding from the lack of any sign of her that Mera had slipped away. Running was usually not her first option, so Hotaru was mildly curious about what had driven her away. Of course, with everyone being at less than their best, she could understand avoiding a quarrel wherever possible. She leaned out the window, looking towards the other rooms. Seeing all the lights being out, she listened, trying to put her new-ish hearing abilities to use. "So it's just us," she mumbled when she didn't hear anyone. Something had sent the gypsy siblings running, so she didn't find it surprising that Kaori was nowhere to be found. She sighed, rubbing the back of her head, wondering what it could be. But she imagined the whole point of disappearing was so it wouldn't come aftter them and start something, so Hotaru decided the best plan of action was inaction. She went back to where she had been, sat back down, and tried to get back to sleep. Mary glanced back the way they had come, hoping her mother had contacted Mera. Even in her beaten and battered state, her mother was strong enough to reach out to her children to make sure all of them where getting as far away from Ovorion as possible. It was rare that any earth user could see as far as Mera could, but it was better to be safer than not. She was worried about all of them- what if someone ratted out the group as a whole and he interroagated them about where they went? The sensation on her lips was still also adding to the list of things distracting her before Raina's voice created a sharp snap to reality. "Hurry up, Mary!" She looked to see she had fallen behind and rushed forwards. Travelling on their own allowed them to move a bit quicker, though their companions of late kept up easily enough. "We're of no use back there getting caught by him. RIght now we have to get to that temple before those demons catch on to what we're doing. The bigger head start we have the better," Raina reminded her once she had caught up. ""R-right, sorry," Mary mumbled, taking a deep breath. Didn't help keep her mind on track. Ovorion reached the village, though the sky would be at its darkest state by that point. He barked orders at the only remaining man with him to searching every place. The villagers he woke decided it best to stay indoors as the look on his face was murderous. Though he had no abilities like most of the children had, it was the same as with their fathr. He was a skilled fighter and could easily put them in their place if they were off guard for even a second. He got down from his horses, going towards the inn while his man quickly scanned the houses. He walked in, looking around before going to the front desk, interrogating the desk clerk for any signs of gypsies. Hotaru heard the voice downstairs making the demands and she stood up and slipped from the room, hoping Larel wouldnt get upset if he woke before she got back, but she figured it would be a good practice to see who all was demanding to find their friends so she would know who to watch out for.
