Larel kept his attention on the flames as Kaori found a comfortable spot to lay down in before closing his eyes, he was uncomfortable sleeping in the dirt and made a mental note to clean himself twice over once this was over, he admitted it wasn't the first time he had to do so but it was never comfortable. Larel glanced to his right surprised that Zenmaru was so quiet, after seeing all that he expected some kind of response from her, she was probably still angry at Rin which he could understand but he always worried whenever she was silent like this.
He looked at Hotaru as she spoke to him and he actually chuckled a little at it but he remained silent as he heard Eryn and Raina speaking to one another. Larel didn't understand what the conversation was about and Hotaru spoke to them about it which Larel almost did as he still wasn't fully comfortable around Raina. Hearing her and Hotaru get into it didn't help matters any but it seemed like Eryn handled it which Larel appreciated, he did however feel the heat of the fire grow and moved his hands away when it did.
Raina was Mera's family he understood that at the very least so he would be polite since they were closely involved with his master but that was the extent.
"I'll stay up with you for a bit Hotaru," Larel said. "I'm still trying to find some way to get information on him, I'll admit there are some questions I don't want answers too like the one Kaori asked but to see the expression on his face when I have something on him for once."
Larel actually grinned at the idea and held his hands out to the fire though he had moved away from it a bit.
"It wouldn't change anything," Rin said causing him to flinch.
He glanced back at her but she remained still her eyes still shut causing Larel to turned back around.
When Eryn spoke to her Rin opened her eyes and looked at him, her face was blank but there was a very slight twinkle of happiness in her eyes before she shut them once again.
"I can see why he wants to return," Rin said. "It's no problem I'm just doing what I was asked to do but I appreciate the thanks."
"Are you going to sleep by the way?" Larel asked glancing back at her. "Having you awake and behind me is uncomfortable..actually just having you behind me is uncomfortable."
Rin pointed at one of the talisman's her eyes still closed.
"I'm keeping those active so I'll be awake for bit," she said. "Most of the night more than likely."
"Do you really need to do that?"
"Alari did it," Rin responded. "It keeps...an unnecessary force from interrupting this quality time."
Larel didn't know what she meant by that and Rin wasn't about to mention it was there for Zenmaru, she went back to her silence and went still once more but it was clear she was still awake.
