Larel glanced over at the twins as they spoke of Hotaru while he continued feeding Jin, he felt he didn't need to interfere as Hotaru generally took care of it herself, he watched Kaori do it often enough to know that he just needed to wait a few minutes. When Hotaru got up he smiled a little as he reached over and pet Jin's head, when they put up the white flag he chuckled a little before sitting back down. He looked over at everyone's floating bodies before ruffling his hair, he hoped they were doing okay in there. He would have to ask them what they saw once they left the other world.
Larel reached forward and grabbed Jin before lifting him up, Jin yipped as Larel stared into his eyes.
"....I wonder how you'd taste," he mumbled.
Jin started yipping and struggling in his grasp but Larel didn't release him staring at him with a blank expression.
"I'm kidding it was a joke, I'm not going to eat you now calm down..."
Jin growled and bit his hand causing Larel to release him, he backed away from him clearly on guard now.
Larel shook his hand off and scoffed, he glad he didn't bite that deep at least, it really was a kid it's fangs barely had grown in. He looked over at the others before putting his hands back on his knees, returning to his guard duty.

Alari caught up with Eryn only to come to a stop at the blazing field of flowers, he stared wide eyed at the scene before his eyes narrowed as the flames danced in front of him. He was glad Larel hadn't accompanied them, the last thing he needed to see was this. Alari wanted to look away but the scene was burning in his own mind, he could hear a voice calling to him but his memories kept calling out to him trying to pull him out of reality.
"Oji-san!" Kaori screamed leaning towards his ear.
Kaori's voice woke Alari up as Eryn threw rocks at the shadows of their father, he shook his head looking around as the shadows jumped from the tree before he noticed the flames spreading, he closed his eyes for a moment forcing something in his mind down before he turned towards the hissing sound. Alari's eyes widened as he got a good look at the creature. He could feel Kaori shivering on his back before he pointed at it, no words coming out of his mouth.
"I see it Kaori," Alari said setting him down.
"I don't think I want Raina-san's happiness anymore," Kaori said hiding behind Alari.
Alari turned toward Mera to see the shadow arrow hit her, he grit his teeth and started to move towards her but ended up jumping to the side with Eryn when the earth split, he didn't like leaving Mera to take them on but that beast was just going to make things worse if it wasn't taken down.
Seeing its tail sweep again Alari glared and looked back at the creature as its attention turned toward them.
"Kaori reach in your sleeve make sure to remember the talismans," Alari said cracking his knuckles. "Put a barrier up, I'm going to try and deliver a mortal blow to the thing. It'll be one less thing for Mera to worry about."
Kaori did as requested and pulled the talisman from his sleeve but the words 'mortal' resonated in his head, he started to say something but Alari spoke first.
"That thing hurt Mera, scared Mary and is a mythological creature from a book. It's not a living thing so I'm making an exception."
Kaori nodded and stood next to Eryn and Mary before raising the talisman a red circle shaped pentagram formed in front of them, it only covered one side but Alari believed the power would be enough to at least block it...granted its power probably matched what Mary assumed it was...which made him worry a little.
Alari rushed forward crossing his arms in front of him as he ran not sure what the thing was going to spit out, Alari quickly jumped off the ground flying high into the air, he turned and pushed off what looked like a yellow wall before falling towards the dragon. He brought his fist back as he picked up speed aiming to slam his fist into the creature's skull breaking it open with one solid hit.
