Kaori stared up at the creature after having been moved out of the way, he wasn't sure how it was fair that thing was huge and able to breathe fire. Kaori quickly turned to see Mera at a disadvantage causing his heart to sink as she got hit by the sword. He wasn't sure what was going to happen with Mary's involvement but whatever it was he hoped it happened soon. When his eyes landed on Nero he arched a brow but was still happy to see someone helping Mera, he turned his attention to Ferran hearing the name before seeing her freeze the creature. Alari wasn't entirely sure who was helping him but he was thankful for the help, knowing the creature wasn't moving he brought his fist forward slamming it into the creatures skull with immense force. The familiar cracking sound of the bone breaking echoed in his ears causing his eyes to twitch before he hit the ground rolling to lessen the impact. Alari immediately looked over at Mera ready to move but seeing Nero he blinked a few times as he faded away, a small smile formed on his face seeing he had helped before he looked over at Ferran hearing her speak to Mera. Alari watched her until she faded away before Kaori called to him, rubbing the back of his head he walked over to him. "Who helped me?" he asked. "Her name was Ferran," Kaori responded. "...huh...fair enough then." Alari remembered who Ferran was from their previous conversations having a face to name was nice and he said a mental 'thank you' for the assistance. Alari looked over at Mera as she touched the remnants of the flowers, he crossed his arms under his chest not sure what he should say at this moment, a young Mera was observing what he believed were her own flowers burned away. Just the smell of the burnt flowers were pulling at memories in Alari's mind, he wasn't sure if he should take the risk of approaching them, he almost lost himself just from looking at them. Alari and Kaori looked over at Eryn hearing his words and Kaori clenched both his fist before pumping one. "It's because of teamwork," Kaori said. "Everything's easier when you work with others." Kaori turned and pointed at Alari causing him to lean back a little to avoid his finger. "Don't think of anything scary Oji-san, we got Mary-chan back let's get out of here in one piece." "Kaori weren't you afraid of your own shadow at some point," Alari said crossing his arms. "Well yeah but it was pretty big then and besides you die and fight youkai on a daily basis...I wouldn't want to see what your afraid of." Alari shrugged though he didn't disagree with him and looked in the direction the fight has taken place before moving his hands into his sleeve as a small sigh escaped from him. He didn't realize it until everything had settled but he had been pretty tense through most of it, his shoulders dropped a little as he calmed down. "Do we go now?" Kaori asked. "We got Mary-chan and being here...is...well terrifying. "It's not so bad, it could grow on you with time," "....I worry about you Oji-san," Kaori said averting his eyes.
