Hotaru almost winced when he started to answer the question, turning to look at him and listening. She gave a small smile at his piece of advice, "You're right," she said nodding, "Can't ever get back to normal if we don't deal with the problem," she walked over and got their rooms before heading to them, stepping into the room and looking around.
"Alright, time to start cooking," she said. She'd already cooked the chicken through as they walked and talked, so as that was left was the vegetables. She pulled out a simple knife and cut up the chicken and vegetables before cooking the vegetables lightly so that they weren't raw, "You get that tea going for us," she said as she worked, having the food on a piece of fabric so she wasn't cutting on the ground.
She had to admit though. This felt a little like normal by now. She smirked a little at the idea that normal had simply changed definitions, though she wasn't entirely sure their newest definition of normal was a healthy definition. She sighed a bit, rubbing the back of her head once the food was prepared. She hadn't kept up with those gourds Mary had gotten and she was kind of regretting it. Now she would have to face her neeeds a little more head on. But she was sure she would be fine for awhile, she had fed plenty last time right? And that wasn't that long ago. She decided Sybil was overreacting and she would be fine and looked back over at Alari.
"So here's hoping for a peaceful night for once, no random bad guys, no one randomly disappearing, none of that," She took a deep breath and leaned back against the wall, closing her eyes.

When Alari questioned if something was wrong. She shook her head, "No, never mind me," She murmured before putting her ink and needle away before starting to get up. She didn't know how to phrase her questions anyway, so what was the point of trying to drag it up, "We should probably go back before Alari is sure you've kidnapped me and done something horrible," she smirked at him at that before taking a deep breath,turning and starting out of the woods. She was going to let him decide if he wanted to talk about whatever the weirdness was that she overheard twice. She sighed a bit, putting her hand to her head as she shook it.
