Mera sighed a little in relief seeing that they were all alright before looking at Larel as he asked the question, noting the surprise on Alari's face, wondering why Murio felt it necessary to tell Larel these things. Hotaru got up off the ground, wobbling a little and dusting herself off, "Glad to see us all in one piece," she murmured, her conscious catching up with the information, but being much more restrained and withdrawn than her subconscious. She looked at Larel as he spoke to Mary and noted the sort of twinge Mary gave hearing what Larel said.
"Lot of good sorry does, huh?" Mary whispered, lightly taking the flower and looking at it as Mera put her hand on her shoulder, "I'm.... going to go rejoin the others.... we got a sort of clue as to what we need to do to deal with Hotaru's unwelcome guest," She said, turning and walking towards the woods again, not making eye contact with any of them.
Mera watched her, giving a sigh, rubbing the back of her head. It was really the first loss aside from family that she'd had to deal with and she knew there wasn't much to be said to make it any easier, "Well.... with this whole event over, I think some rest might be a good idea before we start back towards the north. We don't want to exhaust ourselves and this has been rather trying for a variety of reasons."
"Maybe we should try covering a little distance, get ourselves some cover of some sort if possible. Camping in the open or even in the woods again after shit like this isn't very appealing," Hotaru said, crossing her arms, glancing to see if either of their male companions had anything to input to the decision.

Mary quickly got in to the woods, closing her eyes and sending the flower somewhere she knew it'd be safe. She heaved a sigh, trying to keep herself emotionally composed. She didn't want to hide from those emotions, but now was not the time to let herself be overwhelmed by them. They had a mission to achieve and then she could let herself wallow for awhile. She hated to make an example out of her siblings, but she never wanted to shut herself off as Mera had. It was self defeating and didn't allow for any significant growth emotionally and all of her siblings could stand to grow up a little in that area. She shoved herself forwards, using the fire bead bracelets she had on her ankles to thrust herself forwards, though she was doing her best not to leave any flames behind, figuring burning the forest down wasn't a swell idea.
