Larel didn't move when Hotaru approached, keeping his back to her the only sign he was listening was a small nod he gave at her offer. Though hearing she wasn't going to leave he raised his hand, taking a look as darkness surrounded it. He closed it into a fist as he wasn't against punching something right now. Turning to Hotaru he stared at her with an expressionless gaze, with a small turn he walked towards her flexing his hand as the darkness flared from it, though when he got close the darkness faded and raising his arms he hugged Hotaru. He didn't move closing his eyes as he held her, probably a bit too tightly before after a small moment he released her and took a small step back.
"Thank you...seriously Hotaru I appreciate it," Larel said rubbing the side of his head. "I'm...okay. Well I'm not but I'm not mad...well I am mad but..." 
Larel reached up and ruffled his hair trying to find the words.
"...I don't hate Alari...and that's what bothering me. I mean I'm pissed...he took my only family but...when I saw that I was more...disappointed than angry...I mean all this time, I was right and I see the proof in front of me and I'm...disappointed...that was just...just irritating."
Larel brought a hand to his face shaking his head at the very thought of it.
"The guy's known me since I was a kid apparently too so that's a shock too. I...hate that I'm not so angry I wanna stab him I just want to...punch him really hard in the face, just enough to show how angry I am but I don't want to kill him, and knowing I want to do that is infuriating. I hate that I don't want to kill him right now."
Larel sighed and moved his hands to his hips looked back in the direction of the inn.
"I remember next to nothing of my childhood, and I can't trust Zenmaru to tell me it she just laughs when I ask or says I wasn't there yet or something. No one's honest with me...it's irritating since it involves me. Now I finally get some peek into my past, some answers to questions that plague me when I wake up and it's that Alari killed my sister and apparently he knew me when I was a kid. Did he kill my parents too? Did he kidnap me for some reason? All I have is more questions...it's irritating...hah...I'm sorry Hotaru I'm rambling. I'm okay we can head back...I'm surprisingly tired."

Alari stared at his wrist as Mera spoke, his fingers tracing over the bracelet as her words echoed in his mind. He feared the worst from Mera especially after all this, so he wasn't sure he could put his relief into words. He still couldn't shake the feeling of dread at having to show Larel something like that. With a heavy sigh he let out a weak chuckle before adjusting his glasses and offering a small smile to Mera. He really wanted to tell her everything sometimes, but now wasn't the time for that and he appreciated that she was willing to wait for him to talk about it.
"Hah...I'm going to fall in love with you all over again," Alari said standing up with a smile. "Thank you Mera. Oh...well since I'm being honest I'll have to leave you guys for a little bit. There's been some dangerous movements lately...most of the ones after Larel have thankfully been led away thanks to Kaori...but I got reports more are coming this way. I'm going to deal with them, I'd feel comfortable knowing you and Hotaru were near him in case something else tries to get close. I won't leave until later tomorrow though I'll be around for most of today."
Alari sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.
"I'm sorry to bring you guys more trouble, but let me handle what's approaching it's nothing too major thankfully...but I'd still prefer it not come in contact with Larel."
