Hotaru looked at the fox before looking at Kaori, giving him a blank but deadly glare, "Stay away from me," she growled at him
Mera sighed, "Children, behave," she murmured lightly, pinching the bridge of her nose, annoyed that not a single thing they said managed to sink in with Kaori. She was wondering if letting Hotaru get her hands on him to pay him back for his insults would be a good idea as to make him understand why calling someone a brute was a bad idea, especially when being strong is the reason for it.
[i]"Hey, Mera?"[/i] she looked at Mary as she spoke, [i]"Is it true Hotaru has issues with seeing blood? And not because of her vampirism..."[/i]
[i]"It's true, but I'm no longer sure it isn't actually connected to her vampirism. From what Tsuta said that part was just buried inside her somewhere. But because it's been trying to get out for so long, she mistook that overwhelming desire trying to fight out of the depths of her mind as fear,"[/i] Mera said and Mary made a face that said she clearly didn't like the sounds of that, [i]"I just don't want to see what happens if she gets surrounded by blood again like that. With it forward as it is and with Sybil in her mind, the results could be..."[/i]
"Catastrophic," Raina said from where she was sitting, "Damn, you just can't travel with anyone that's at least a little bit close to normal can you?"
"You're no exception," Mera said, "So don't criticize those you don't really have too much of a difference of," she shook her head, taking a deep breath.
"But unlike at least half of this lot," Raina motioned around them, "When I lose my cool, the next four miles won't be affected," she said and Mera glared at her when Mary flinched, "Don't get mad at me, it's true-"
"You do [i]not[/i] need to state it in such a fashion," Mera said, "For someone who was just lecturing Kaori about it you seem to have purposefully said that in an attempt to shame those here who cannot control themselves. Speak of it again and I'll let you be the example of what happens when you piss the person you're insulting off," she added sharply and Raina growled at her.
"Dear sisters can we please calm down?" Eryn waved his hands, "Honestly it's a miracle you're both so pretty otherwise you'd have hardly any positive traits to attract men!" he said dramatically.
"At least we have a better shot than you," Raina muttered before a vine grabbed her from behind and threw her hard to the ground below.
"A-ah, Mera, that wasn't necessary," he balked, going to check on Raina who was sitting up, spitting out grass and dirt.
"So you want to go, do you?" Raina growled though Eryn was trying to push her to sit back, trying to get her attention.
"No, not really, mopping the floor with you in front of everyone would just be embarrassing, powers or no," Mera said before looking around, "Someone should make tea," she said as Raina grit her teeth, clenching her fists.
