Hotaru hadn't thought about how the people around them would react to the two of them jumping up on to the roof and she nodded to his statement of going to ask the vendor first. However, when he handed her the toy cat, she smiled softly, looking at the little toy, "Thank you," she murmured, definitely planning on keeping it close. She looked up as he started to walk away and paled a bit as she saw Alari and Mera walking together. Were they walking arm in arm? She was starting to wonder if that funny taste had been some sort of drug or something. 
She followed Larel over as he approached them, not missing the look of sheer annoyance that crossed Mera's face. She hadn't intended for either of them see this and now it was too late to pull her arm back. Mera put her hand to her face when Larel started theorizing on what Alari was up to, muttering under her breath in her tongue before they finally decided to just go watch the fireworks. 
"Right, fireworks," Hotaru nodded and started in the direction that Alari had said, "Now that this has gotten [i]completely[/i] awkward and all that," she added 
"Be quiet," Mera muttered to her, pulling her arm back, "Larel, i understand you and Alari have your differences but I am more than capable of handling myself," She said rather shortly before starting to walk that way, taking a rather angry bite of her food as she walked. Hotaru was almost afraid to stand to close to her with the sheer level of irritation she could feel rolling off her. In all honesty the irritation came from embarrassment. This was turning out to be a completely embarrassing kind of night and honestly she kind of felt like she had had enough of being exposed in someway shape or form. She glanced over at Hotaru who was making the effort to not make eye contact and noticed the cat she was holding, "You two play the games?"
Hotaru jumped a little at being addressed but nodded, "Um, yea, we had a little competition of sorts, though Larel won," She thumbed to him
"Which one won that?" Mera used her skewer to point to the toy
"...He did."
Suddenly Mera didn't feel quite as embarrassed though she was sure neither of those two had any idea what was really going on with each other. She took a bite with a satisfied smirk, "Of course he did," She said, stopping as they reached the area where people were clearly waiting for the fireworks to start. 
Eryn came up behind them, putting his arms around both women's shoulders and pulled them close to him, "Well ladies, have you enjoyed your evening?"
"You're dead for making me wear this," Hotaru said simply. 
"Remove your arm, "Eros," before I skewer it," Mera said without looking at him.
Eryn looked a little hurt, "Oh come on," He pouted looking between them, "Did you or-.... You two were being crude to try and avoid telling me the truth," he grinned, "You two are so adorable," He gave their arms a squeeze though they were glaring at him at that point, "Oh but sister you still have those cuffs on. Is it you cannot admit your-"
"Continue to speak, dear brother, and I'll kill you."
