When Alari passed by Mera, she reached out and gave his hand a squeeze, noticing that he was nervous. She wanted answers, she wanted to know the truth as much as anyone, but she didn't want it at his expense. She wanted it more or less on his terms, when he felt it was right to share. She just hoped at this moment it wasn't a matter of feeling he had to, but rather because he wanted to share with them this information. "Me too," she murmured before following after him to the room. Hotaru looked up when Alari entered the room, sort of tuning out Larel's initial response as it was par for the course around Alari, but raised her brows as he spoke about what he was looking so tense for. She reached over and put her hand on Larel's shoulder, "Rather than focus on the negative possibility that you might not get answers, focus on the positive possibility that you could get them," she said. She looked towards Alari, "You've got my attention. I doubt you've lost hers for awhile," she smirked Mera, who didn't seem to react to what she said which had her frowning. She looked back at Alari, "So, what mighty information do you have to share, Alari [i]Wisdom?[/i]" she asked, a little nervous now that she was reading the energy in the room. In the far off distance, Erin and Rain found themselves stuck outside of a decrepit looking building, banging on the door, "Mary!" Raina called out, banging again, "Mary, can you hear me!" "We should try and find windows or something," Erin said and hurried down the side of the building, "Surely she's fine, Mary's stronger than even Mera right?" he looked at his sister for reassurance.Raina faltered for a moment and Erin sighed in exasperation, "You're even worse than her when it comes to being any sort of comfort to people," he huffed. "I'm a realist, Erin, I don't let myself get my hopes up anymor-" "Well in this instance get them up," Erin snapped at her, "Our little sister, the last shred of innocence in the Zaheer family line, is stuck in this rubble heap of a building. She *is* going to be fine, and we *are* going to get her out! Believe in your family for once!" he growled as he turned and continued to look, leaving his sister there with a dumbfounded look on her face. Inside the building, Mary sat up slowly, holding her head from where she fell. It was almost like a force had pulled her in and slammed the doors shut in the process.She could vaguely hear her siblings calling her name, but by the time she found her voice, they were gone. It felt...hard to breathe and she couldn't see due to the darkness inside. She got up onto her feet, creating a fireball in her hand and froze when she did. There were coffins scattered around the room, their lids broken open. She steeled herself enough to move over and look into one of them and a chill ran down her spine. If there were this many coffins...and if they were all empty like this one....where had the bodies inside gotten to? She moved to the nearest wall, pressing her back to it, not wanting to get caught off guard, "Why me?" she whispered to herself, hissing a bit, "We were just popping in, taking a peek," she whispered as she scooted along the wall, "Damn my curiosity."
