Larel watched the scene his eyebrows arching as they were put into Mary's consciousness, he still wasn't comfortable with Alari going in there and Zenmaru informed him that there was a good chance if he tried to search Alari's body while he was unconscious that he'd probably be cursed. He just hoped they would be able to find her and get back, he could care less about Alari and Kaori but he was worried about Mera. He was only concerned for Eryn because he was Mera's family...well that and the festival but that was a whole other matter so he decided not to count it.
"I guess that means they're going to be a bit," Larel said sighing. "Hey Jin why don't you show some memories to pass the time."
Jin yipped at Larel and he glanced to his right as Zenmaru translated for him, basically it was a very solid and absolute no. Larel shrugged his shoulders before taking his sword off and sitting on his knees, he set his sword in front of him horizontally and rested his hands on his knees as he got comfortable.
"Alright you don't have to show it, don't expect any boar though," Larel said to Jin. "May as well get comfortable Hotaru."

Alari looked around at the forest his eyes narrowing a little at the idea of Mary being in a place like this, Kaori was visibly shaking but he was keeping his attention forward keeping an eye out for Mary. Alari knew it was out of fear and the cold, since he could only resolve one he did as such and put the top of his kimono over Kaori. The two followed after Eryn and Mera deciding not to intrude on the conversation, though they did note the crying didn't help the already dark atmosphere. Kaori clung to Alari's arm but kept up with him as they walked, Alari didn't like the idea of traps being put out for them he expected resistance but in this dark trying to anticipating movement was going to be difficult, Alari started to wonder if this place truly could use their own fears against them, if so he wanted to resolve this quickly.
"Oji-san...you don't think our fears will really be used against us...right?" Kaori asked. "Well you're not afraid of anything so it doesn't matter but I'm worried on my end."
"I'm not sure how this place really works Kaori so I don't know," Alari said. "Regretfully even I have fears too Kaori, just don't forget who you are while you're in here and it'll be fine."
"Why?"
"....just a hunch," Alari mumbled.
The two stopped when Eryn spoke to them about agreeing with Mera before looking at each other, when they turned back they noticed Eryn chasing after Mera, they picked up the pace to keep up with him slowing down when they encountered the younger Mera, the two tilted their heads and Alari squinted his eyes a little for conformation but that was definitely Mera.
"Adorable."
The word slipped out of Alari's mouth before he could think causing him to wave his hand as an apology as Kaori just stared, his fear had sadly taken over what happiness came from this.
"Uh...why does Mera-dono look...younger?" Kaori asked. "Wait does that mean if you run ahead you'll get younger Oji-san, you should do so I want to see you when you're younger."
"I don't think any of us need to see that," Alari said curtly. "Much as I enjoy an even more adorable Mera why don't we proceed carefully at a brisk pace. We don't know what's ahead of us and if something happens to us...well that would leave Mary in a predicament as no one else can come in here."
"Larel and Taru-chan can't come in because of their inner people," Kaori said remembering.
"Which basically means unless we want to try Raina's hand at this we're pretty much the only people that can do anything, we should be careful moving forward I'm not sure how vulnerable we are with our consciousness exposed. I mean...Mera just lost years. If she becomes a baby that would be an awkward situation. Not that I wouldn't hold a baby Mera but you understand we're pretty much the front and rear lines, there's no reinforcements as far as I know."
"Do you think the years stay off when we go back?" Kaori asked. 
Alari decided not to respond to that question and just watched the two.
"If Mary's at the end of this path then I'm worried," Alari said crossing his arms. "Seems too easy, if it really was that easy Mary could have just returned herself..."
