Larel shook his head as he didn't believe Hotaru always looked like that himself but he had no idea what went through Kaori's mind and he wasn't in any mood to find out either. Strange as he was Larel didn't just want to forget him, he was annoying, a bother and all around a pain to deal with but Larel knew he cared about them in his own strange way. 
He looked at the doll of himself and wondered if he had wanted to convey that somehow this way, in the end he just put it back in his kimono deciding not to think too much about it, Kaori always popped up so he figured he'd return pretending he had never vanished in the first place.
"I agree with getting some sleep I'll tell you the story later. Good night Hotaru."
Larel laid his head against the wall and shut his eyes with a small sigh, it wasn't long before he drifted off to sleep snoring softly.

Alari was on his knees in the other room gripping his chests as a fierce pain flowed throughout his body, he grit his teeth as an explosion of yellow energy flowed throughout his body, his eyes opened wide as he coughed blood coming out of his mouth and staining the floor before he fell face first to the ground shutting his eyes tightly as he hugged himself shutting his eyes.
After a moment the pain subsided and Alari rolled onto his back, his breathing heavy before he opened his eyes.
"...well my ki is back," he said slowly sitting up.
The process was as painful as ever though it was converting his very life into power so that was the sacrifice that came with it, he shook his head and wiped the blood from his mouth deciding to ignore the pain.
Folding his legs in he rested his hands on his knees before he shut his eyes, picking up the echo's a fair distance away he nodded and took a deep breath before he went to search Kaori's.
He'd be at it for most of the night but he'd locate him before the sun rose, he told himself that.
