Hotaru came back about the time Rin started feeling Alari in on what had happened, blinking a bit, "I hurried back hearing all the commotion," she wiped her sleeve across her mouth before looking at Larel, "What happened?" she asked him, pointing at Alari next, "When did he get back?" She had barely had the chance to catch something before catching the sounds of the skirmish. She wasn't necessarily in need of anything after the night before, but she wasn't going to take the chance of Sybil ever getting out because of her thirst again if she had any say in it. She hadn't been expecting to see Alari upon her return and his state of being wasn't very helpful for her, but she would be fine. She wasn't entirely surprised Mera wasn't back, she seemed like she was determined to do something when she left. She glanced up as Eryn came back in to the clearing, his clothes wet and his outer jacket was full of fish. He dropped it when he spotted Alari and grinned, "Ah, thank goodness!" he put his hands together, then it dawned on him of his condition, "Is there anything I can do to help you? I might not be able to find herbs as fast as my sister but she beat it in to my head what kind help with pain and wounds," he smiled a bit. Raina had been protecting Mary from the youkai, having been woken up by the commotion. She huffed now, sitting back down only to see Mary was awake as well, but her face was blank, her eyes as well, "Mary?" she raised a brow, putting her hand on her shoulder, but her sister didn't respond, ending closing her eyes and leaning back up against the rock. Raina's brow furrowed seeing her sister react that way, but there really wasn't much she could do about it. Mary had pushed herself to an extent that she'd never gone before and it would be touch and go as she tried to recover. Raina looked around, wishing Mera was there since she was so much better at figuring that stuff out. She ran her hand through her hair, looking at the guy in the middle. Based on everyone's reaction she had to guess that it was Alari, and she had to admit, his swift punishment to the youkai was impressive, but she was wondering what in the world he could possibly do that would have thawed the heart of her sister. Mera felt the commotion and started to go back until she realized not only was it already under control, but there was someone else in the group. She scoffed a bit before turning and walking further out than before, not planning on going back and having that mix up of emotions in front of everyone else. She pulled her hood up on her cloak and went back to simply concentrating and trying to put all of them aside so she definitely wouldn't have to deal with it anymore. She wasn't going to let Alari worm his way in anymore, was going to let herself be affected so easily just because he was the first guy to actually treat her in a way she wanted to be treated. Things were not in a state where she could allow herself those concessions, not that she was entirely sure, she could handle Alari on a level of any closer of a relationship
