Larel awoke in a small panic noticing that both Mera and Hotaru were suddenly gone, he stood up immediately grabbing his sword and starting to dash out the door in search of the two, however he froze when the bush popped up in the room. Staring at the shrubbery in front of him he looked around the room before moving to the window, looking outside for any sign of the two. Not seeing them he turned back towards the bush to see the message from Mera. His eyes narrowed a little but at the very least Mera left a sign showing she was returning, hopefully with Hotaru.
Taking a deep breath he turned and walked out of the door deciding to get a bit of air making sure to hang near the entrance in case either returned so he wouldn't miss them. A part of him wanted to go looking for the two but he felt if he went searching for them he'd end up missing them if they came back.

What awaited him outside however caused him to reach for his sword drawing it slightly as a man in front of him, whose hand also went to his sword seeing Larel's narrowed eyed gaze.
"Have you forgotten our truce," Hiroyuki said standing directly in front of Larel.
He had passed by the door only to feel Larel's gaze on him and froze seeing Larel's reach for his sword in the next moment.
Larel kept his hand near his hilt as Hiroyuki's thumb drew his blade slightly as the two waited for either to make a move, Larel's eyes narrowed and he started to move his hand away, however his eyes let off a yellow glow and Zenmaru taking control drew the sword and attacked Hiroyuki in the next moment. Larel came back reality mid-swing his eyes widening at what was happening, however since he had already started moving he couldn't stop himself nor what transpired, in one movement Hiroyuki drew his blade and hitting Larel's sword knocked it out of his hand causing it to fly through the air, before landing a few feet away. Hiroyuki put his blade against Larel's neck narrowing his eyes at him.
Larel's hands twitched as he slowly lowered them to his side, he grit his teeth staring Hiroyuki in the eyes who only pushed the blade further against his neck. After a few moments he pulled his sword away and sheathed it.
"You're not worth it," Hiroyuki said sighing. "Nii-sama didn't train me to waste my skills on the likes of you."
"What did you just say?!" Larel said stepping towards him.
"If you can't stop a simple attack like that you won't last against me," Hiroyuki said. "I'm leaving."
Larel narrowed his eyes at him but he couldn't find the words to dispute him, he wanted to argue with him, prove him wrong but his hands just shook in silent rage at the reality in front of him.
He didn't even see the movement of his sword and he could feel the difference between the two of them, he watched Hiroyuki walk away and shut his eyes taking a deep breath trying to calm down with little success. Turning he went to pick up his sword and sheath it before heading back in the room to wait for the two.
He wasn't sure what Alari was up too and right now he didn't care, he needed a moment alone.
