Zenmaru nodded in agreement bringing a hand to her chin at Sybil's technique, it was straightforward but it got the job done and the best part was those who didn't listen couldn't really complain later when they were forced to suffer for their transgressions. She looked over at Mera as she added in her opinion grinning at her, it was nice to come out and converse with a like mind. Zenmaru took in a deep breath taking in the fresh air before looking over at Alari who seemed to be writing in the small notebook he kept on his person, pushing up his glasses he sighed shutting it and moving it back into his sleeve.

Larel wasn't sure what Mary meant until the bright light followed, he shut his eyes only to open them finding he was back in his own body, he brought a hand to his head feeling it pounding but he glanced over at Hotaru. Seeing she was back out he let out a content sigh and stood up though he stumbled a little holding his arms out to steady himself. Seeing Mera look over at him he raised his hand to show he was okay before squeezing the bridge of his nose. Taking in a deep breath he seemed to regain himself and his attention moved over to Alari, when their eyes met Alari moved his hands into his sleeves expecting some kind of random insult.
"What's the inner circle Alari?"
Alari's eyes widened slightly finding Larel ask a question instead, one he was both surprised he knew and wasn't too keen on answering.
"You protect the inner circle, what is it?"
"...Murio tell you that?" Alari questioned his face returning to normal.
"He told me a lot of things, you know my sister as well...she's called Negal isn't she?"
Alari's eyes narrowed slightly but he closed his eyes not offering a response, Larel glared at him before shaking his head.
"...fine...you don't have to tell me now, I have a headache anyway but we will talk about it later."
Turning Larel made his way back over to Mera and Hotaru ready to continue north, Murio had shared a few things with him and for once he knew things Alari didn't, or at least he knew but didn't know Larel's knowledge on them at least. He was going to use this opportunity to get some real answers from the man.
"Mary."
Larel dug in his kimono and pulled out her flower, the one she gave Kaori before holding it out to her.
"...he told me to give this to you and say sorry," Larel said. "He seemed intent on protecting it."
