"You're lyiing!" Ovorion roared at the man behind the counter, slammming his fist on the counter. He looked like he was going to reach for him and Hotaru knew she'd get quite the lecture from Mera if she didn't at least try and stop him. She grabbed a kunai from her bag and flung it, and Ovorion began to rage even more as it slammed in to his hand. Hotaru stepped out beforee he came storming, she didn't want him getting the innocent guests at the inn involved in his tantrum,, "I didn't realize children got to be so big these days," she said as she put her hands on her hips. However, she noticed the bright red flower pop out of the wall behind him and immediately got the message, "There aren't any gypsies here. They got tipped off and ran on ahead to the next town," she said, "So just leave." "How would you know what their plans are," he growled, coming closer. "Because I was enjoyingg a nice evening meal with some of them. They were just passing through as am I and we decided to enjoy each others company. One of them said they were told someonee was coming after them, though I never saw anyone talk to them, and they all got up and hurried out the door. Never saw aa group move that fast," Hotaru lied smoothly. It wasn't the first time while staying with Mera that she'd had to use a similar story and since there was still plenty of truth in it, most people never caught on to the fact she was lying. Ovorion narrowed his eyes at Hotaru, clearly deliberating on whether or not her story was true, "How llong ago did they leave?" he finally demanded. "About twenty minutes ago at best," she added. "Why did you just attack me then?" "BEcause you were about to harm someone who has nothing to do with the incident. Couldn't let that happen, now could I?" Ovorion watched her, waiting for anyy sign that would give her away as lying before starting out of the building. Hotaru waited until the door closed before walking over towards the innkeeper, "Run," she whispered to him, ""Run and hide and do not return until you know that man is gone," she turned and pushed him forwards. That shade of red on the flowers from Mera meant the person was irratioonal and a very dangerous threat. It was alwayss better to avoid a fight with the people she applied that flower too, but they usually always came swingging regardless of how well she lied to them. And at this pooint, she iimagined if he caught on to what she was, he would deem it necessary to deal with her as he was going to do with the human who didn''t give him what he wanted. (Sorry for all the double letters. My ipad decided tthere needed to be more >_>)
