"I'm not entirely sure either, so I guess we'll see how well that goes," Hotaru muttered when he said she could tell him what was going on. She glanced out the window and listened for a moment, "It sounds like he's passed us, but he's still close enough that I can hear him, so it might be best to wait," she murmured, before muttering something about hoping his hands melted off. 
When it seemed like ages had passed the ground opened up and Mera came out about halfway, "He's far enough way for you to go. Get to the woods, and I'll explain what I can when we get there," she said to Larel, putting a hand up before he started asking questions, "I'll meet you there, get going," she told them before ducking back down and the ground closed behind her. 
"There's our marching orders," Hotaru muttered, seeming a little annoyed at actually being ordered, but then she got up and started out of the house. She looked around, making sure she didn't hear him before starting quickly towards the edge of the village, running quickly. It was one thing that any military tended to hate the gypsies, probably because of the ones like the monster stomping his feet throughout the village at the moment, but to have gypsies coming after gypsies hit another level of craziness. Then the demons in the mix too and any vampires that might have been Tsuta's allies could still come after her too and it was all just stacking up. Not to mention anyone who wasn't Larel's friends either, whatever was in the north that awaited them. She kind of just wished things could go back to how they were when her biggest problem was her mother telling her she wasn't dressed nice enough.
