Hotaru was grateful for the mask as she felt Larel grab her hand. He was the only guy to ever grab her hand before and for some reason that had a huge affect on her. It was enough of a distraction to stop thinking about what was bothering her and she appreciated the effort. When he asked whether or not she was alright, she nodded, she felt better with less people around. It was easier to think.
 She felt something at her hip and looked to see a gourd- similar to something alcohol was carried in- tied to her hip. She moved her mask, "That definitely wasn't there before," She took it off and opened it, going wide-eyed as she did as the scent hit her immediately, "Guess Eryn kept his part of the bargain," she took a long swig of the contents before putting the top in, "That tasted weird, but whatever," she took a deep breath, "So much better," she looked around as she put it back on her hip, "So where are the fireworks? It's been ages since I've got to see some, so I hope these are good," She smiled at him, feeling much better now that the thirst wasn't starting to be ball she could think about. 
She wondered what kind of blood was in the gourd as it definitely didn't taste human and it wasn't gypsy. Her guess was some kind of animal and she understood then why it would be guilt free. She didn't necessarily feel bad for killing some over reproductive rabbit or something or that nature.
"Maybe if we get up on the rooftops the fireworks would be easier to see," she suggested, pointing up to the roofs closest to them, looking back to him, wondering what he thought of the idea then realized she was missing one of her prizes, "Oh, left the fish," she glanced back, "Oh well...." she shrugged and looked at him, "I think we both know you won anyways," she smirked, "Some other kid will enjoy him for awhile."

Mera looked over at him as he spoke, still a bit embarrassed she got so completely carried away about herself, wondering if those damned cuffs had anything to do with it, but raised a brow as she saw him grab his wrist, wondering what was up with that. But she deadpanned when he consulted his book to look for advice and stifled a sound of some sort of laugh at his comment about going 'aaah.' 
"I would swear you've never paid attention to any couples you've ever seen around you from the way you talk about it," Mera said once she regained her composure, "Tonight is a one time deal, you hear me? And if you tell anyone about this ever, I will bury you alive never to be found again," she prodded his shoulder before hooking her arm with his and pulling him in to the crowd, "If you want something to actually be intimate, you kind of just have to do as your heart wants, don't consult books about it, especially not in the moment when you're trying to do something to show your intimacy with a person," she looked at him at that, "Kind of makes it feel less personal and more like an exercise rather than what most people call a date," she said before going up to a stand, buying a couple of the Yakitori, "Just cause I'm actually hungry, not because I'm trying to squash the moment," she explained, holding one out to him as she had them both in one hand, still holding on to his arm, "You can handle me doing this right? Or do I need to let go else you're going to just die and pass to the netherworld here and now?" she asked, raising a brow at him.
She had gone in the opposite direction of Kaori as she didn't need to listen to him right now while she was trying to figure this out for herself and all, but inadvertently had gone in the direction of Larel and Hotaru since they had moved away from most of the people. She hadn't been trying to keep up with anyone in the crowd as her focus wasn't exactly capable of being devoted to that at the moment
