As Rin explained what was going on, Hotaru looked around, a little wary as she heard the trees groaning and she imaged that it was probably Mera's current mood that was causing it. Dead but not dead wasn't a very good explanation to her- not because it didn't make sense, but because it wasn't satisfactory, "Idiot," she muttered under her breath, watching the scene that Rin decided to share with them. She closed her eyes when she leaned her head back, decided she owed him a good chewing out for his poor choice in actions. 
Hotaru sighed a bit when the trees got quite, sitting down as well, smirking a little bit as Rin decided to ignore Larel's request to look at the other memories of Alari, though at first she was confused as to why he wanted to know them. She laughed a little bit when he was basically looking for a way to make Alari feel embarrassed by something, "Careful," Hotaru smirked at him, "You might find things in there that you really didn't want to know about him," she said as she leaned back on her hands, stretching her legs out so her feet were semi-close to the fire, "If you guys want to get some rest, I can stay on a watch. I'm not exactly tired so I might as well put myself to use, right?" she smirked lightly.
Raina and Eryn had stayed quiet during the exchange though neither of them missed Mera's reaction to Rin's description of Alari's status. 
[i]'So she actually cares about him?'[/i]
[i]'In ways I don't think even she really understands,'[/i] Eryn murmured, looking down at Mera and Mary, Mera seeming to have already fallen asleep from her stillness, [i]'I think she told him that lame story about the merchant once to keep him off her trail of why she didn't like him,'[/i] he gave a short laugh and Raina rolled her eyes.
[i]'Goddess I hope he didn't believe it,'[/i] she shook her head. [i]'I don't know if she realizes how naive she makes herself seem in that story.'[/i]
[i]'Well in the true story she really was naive, that's what the whole problem was.'[/i] Eryn said, looking at her, [i]'You were with her, you should remember that.'[/i]
[i]'Of course I do, that's why I started training-'[/i]
"How rude," the two looked at Hotaru who raised a brow at them, "You're not even bothering to whisper while talking in your other language, the least you could do is share what you're talking about."
"My sister may like you, but I don't really care for you, so I don't see why I should have to tell you anything," Raina said simply
"I don't think Mera would appreciate us sharing this topic with everyone here," Eryn put his hand over Raina's mouth, "Matters of the heart and all that. Plus she's been trying to hide her feelings from you all, I think she should be allowed to share those feelings when she's ready, I'm just making observations," he waved it off.
"Hence why we weren't speaking in [i]your[/i] language," Raina muttered and Hotaru's eye twitched a little at the level of disdain in her voice.
"What did I ever do to you? This is the first real time we've actually met."
"And I would prefer to keep it that way. Just because Mera likes to pick up strays doesn't mean I have to pet them."
"Raina," Eryn chided, "This isn't exactly the time to be making enemies with people who are on our side just because you don't want to be compared to Mera."
"Whatever," Raina muttered, turning away, watching out in to the woods. 
Hotaru huffed, muttering something under her breath as she looked back to the flames, which were now a little hotter than they were before because of her agitation, so she pulled her feet back just a bit so as to not singe her shoes.
Eryn got down from the rock where he had been sitting before going over to Rin and bowing his head, "None of us have really said this yet, but thank you for your help," he murmured, "You helped my sister regain her sense and you've filled in the blanks about where our friend has gone, and you're helping us on his behalf now that you've mentioned it. I don't know about the others but at a time like this it's a blessing," he smiled lightly
