Larel shrugged seeing Raina take a piece he reached forward and got one himself before taking a big bite out of it, he smiled a little at the food though he wasn't exactly happy about sharing it with Raina, but he wasn't heartless enough to tell someone they couldn't eat, he knew the feeling all too well. Larel's attention went to Jin who started yipping at Hotaru's words, he glanced to his right as Zenmaru translated the little fox's words to him, he nodded a few times before looking back at Jin. "Seems he lost his home to Youkai and encountered Alari afterwards. I think you should find a new home Jin," Larel said. "I figure Alari would have use for a fox you both being tricksters but don't expect him to keep you around forever, the moment your use is up he'll abandon just as fast as he picked you up," Larel said. Larel's attention immediately shot to the two twins as the topic of Mera's feelings came up, his eyes narrowed as he listened to their conversation alarm bells going off in his mind, he finished the boar in his hand before his attention went to Alari. Questions started forming in his mind and he knew of a simple way to get answers for them as he stared at the twins.. "What exactly is this key you're talking about?" Larel said. "Also what exactly do you mean she-" Larel cut himself off as Jin started yipping at him, he blinked a few times before grabbing another piece of boar and pulling a piece off. "If you're hungry you could just change into a human form and get it yourself," Larel said before holding the piece out to him. "Here." Jin walked over and ate the piece out of Larel's hand, watching Jin he forgot the question he was going to ask the two, he shrugged his shoulders figuring it wasn't anything important. Alari brought a hand to his chin at Eryn's words, it would be less confusing without it effecting all of them he admitted but he was worried about the effect it would have on Mera and Mary. He nodded at Eryn's warning making sure to keep his guard up, Kaori seemed to understand as well, however as Mera started moving forward the hissing sound returned and it took all his willpower not to scream. Alari didn't want to look behind them at this point, especially hearing the creature came from a book, Kaori looked at Alari before the two chased after the two as they went ahead. "So the creature following us isn't real?" Kaori asked. "From the way Mera spoke of it I'm pretty sure it's real in here," Alari responded. He didn't want to test the theory of whether it was real or not, he wasn't sure what it was but if Mera said it wouldn't be easy to deal with he didn't have a reason not to believe her. Hearing the crying get louder he wondered how close they were to Mary, with all the dark around it was hard to determine distance, being in a cave didn't help either. Alari continued forward with Kaori attached to him only to stop when the light vanished, when it returned his eyes widened seeing Mera was even younger than before. Eryn was right adorable wasn't the word he wanted to use, not that she wasn't but now wasn't the time for such thoughts. Seeing the scars his eyes twitched a little but he looked at Eryn as he provided an explanation of the changes to Mera and what this world probably was. Seeing Mera run ahead Alari knelt down letting Kaori climb on his back before he sprinted forward after her running alongside Eryn., Alari and Kaori looked over at Eryn as he spoke to him not wanting to leave him behind especially with that hissing behind them. "You're not the only one Eryn...you're not the only one," Alari said turning his attention forward. "We'll just have to adapt if things do change, though I'll need your help on information." "Will Mary-chan be alright? I mean even if things play out I don't think she'd want to watch Mera-dono get hurt again. She seemed bothered by that but she was saved before." "We're going to talk about why you know that later but for now I can't deny I'm worried about that. Mary's influence on this place I wonder if it's...never mind let's just get to her. Goodness knows what else is in here we can't lose Mera." Mary was protected by her siblings from their father, even when she got older she was kept safe from them. If that happened again in this place would Mary really be alright with that? He wasn't sure but this place could simple or complex for all he knew, the scene could just be replaying in her head or it could be something different just as Eryn said. He wasn't sure of many things in this place but what he was sure of was they needed to get Mary out of here.
