"Most are" Banner says. He sips his water as he offers some to her.

Kida smiled, "Thanks," she said quietly as she took a sip and handed it back to him.

He nods "At least this source is drinkable. Every other place is either tainted or dried up" Banner says. He looks at the river as he rubs the bridge of his nose.

Kida nodded and looked out over the water, "It's amazing this river has stayed in tact," she replied as she reached down and washed the dirt off of her hands.

"Yeah. But for how long" Banner says. The group leaves as his face seems to now show signs of sleepless nights.

Mako may have been a firebender, but that didn't mean the teenager didn't get thirsty in fact it was quite the opposite he was parched. Of course that didn't mean he was going to let his guard down he had learned enough on the streets in Republic City that if somebody saw signs of weakness they would take advantage of it. He heard voices in the distance, but paid little mind to it for now. If they got closer he would automatically switch to a defensive stance, nice part of firebending was that his 'weapon' was always available at a moments notice.

Kida eyed Banner in concern, not yet noticing the other approaching them, "Are you alright?" she asked as she closely examined the lines in his face. She knew herbal remedies that would help with insomnia, but she didn't have any with her at the moment, "I can at least make you some tea, it'll help you to relax," she told him as she pulled some leaves from her bag at her side. "They're chamomile," she explained gently.

He sighs "I need to stay awake. If I fall asleep, the nightmare comes back and it repeats. Nightmare stimulates the terror and the monster returns. It's how it's been" he says. He looks over "No. Please. I don't need to relax. I just need to stay awake, to keep the nightmare away." he says.

Kida didn't know what to do for night terrors. She'd been subject to them herself, but nothing much she did ever helped. She tried once more, "...You need to rest sometime. Your body cannot handle this strain," she told him quietly. "And besides, when we are tired, we are far more prone to anger and irritation. You're only making things worse by staying awake," she told him quietly.

"I ironically seem calmer like this, but if I fall asleep I'll become a danger to everyone. I can't fall asleep or I revert into the monster and I can't stay awake. A dilemma huh?" he asks.

Kida nodded, troubled by his determination to push on like this. "What do you plan to do? You can't live like this." She told him firmly. There must be something he could do. Perhaps her crystal could give him dreamless sleep, it wasn't something she'd ever tried before, but maybe it would work.
She tensed as she heard footsteps behind them and quickly turned her spear at the ready and pointed towards the young man approaching them.

He nods "I don't plan too. If I fall into a very deep sleep, it won't awake, but at the same time I can sleep without it awakening" he says. He looks over as he stands and sees the man.

At this point the voices were starting to interest him, though they were too far away to be recognizable. Perhaps one of them had seen Bolin. Prepared just in case they were hostile the firebender approached catiously.

Kida studied the man approaching them with careful interest, her stance ever ready if he turned out to be a threat, "Do you think he's a hunter?" she asked Banner quietly as he drew nearer.

At this distance Mako could make out the two fingers one a skinny man, and the other a woman. The woman drew the fire-bender's attention the most due to the unusual color of her hair. She didn't seem to hold herself like an elderly person would which was all the more strange. How could he approach either one without appearing as a threat. Mako suddenly raised his hands palms outward as he walked closer, though he could still defend himself in a moments notice, this would hopefully allow him to talk to them without a fight starting.

Kida recognized what Mako was trying to do and slowly reciprocated his action. She gently laid her spear on the ground and held both of her hands up, palms facing towards him to show that so long as he had peaceful intentions he wouldn't be attacked by her. She studied him carefully as he approached, wondering why he was coming to them.

Mako gave a small quiet sigh of relief as he walked forward not exactly sure how to begin a conversation, he hadn't exactly been the most social before the world was destroyed let alone after the fact.

Banner sees the man as he stands "Who are you? Do you come from the colony called Maverick?" he asks as he simply glares a bit.

Post by scififan21 on May 28, 2014 20:46:28 GMT
"Maverick? Never even heard of them." Mako answered though he returned the glare in an equal level. "Why do you ask having problems with them or something?" Though it was none of his business he figured to ask anyway at least to get a better sense of the kind of people he was dealing with.

Kida eyed the both of them, remembering Banner had claimed some sort of beast escaped him when he was made angry, "I don't think he means us harm," she soothed quietly, trying to calm him a bit as she turned back to face Mako, "Did you want something?" she asked calmly.

"Yes, you're one of the few people I've seen in the last few weeks. I'm looking for my younger brother Bolin. Have either of you heard or seen anybody going by that name?" Mako asked knowing that it was unlikely and he had learned to never even think about getting his hopes up.

Kida shook her head, "I'm sorry, I have not," she responded sympathetically. She knew the pain of losing family well, and could only hope he would be able to find his brother alive. She turned to Banner, wondering if he'd seen anything either.

Banner lowers his glare "Sorry. Maverick is a small settlement of.... cannibals. I've seen them and they are not kind. As for Bolin, I don't ask for names, I just see visitors" he says.

Mako sighed in disappointment. "Well do remember faces well then?" He asked crossing his arms.

"Well he's shorter then me slightly. Same dark hair and he has green eyes." Mako describe his brother in the briefest sense since he couldn't very well describe his younger sibling's personality if the other might not have seen him in the first place. "See anybody like that?"

He shakes his head "I've seen many like that, but not sure if any are your brother" he says.

"It's fine at this rate I'll find my brother by the time I'm ninety." Mako replied his tone dry even if the words would normally be some kind of joke before these times now it was latched with a bitter inclination in it. Not that he was angry at either of the other too though the man was irritating slightly, but not nearly enough to deserve such a tone. No he was starting to lose faith in his search getting anywhere.

Kida understood his bitterness but was unsure how to help him. She shook her head slightly, why was she even worried about helping either of these two? She was getting distracted from her main goal and letting her empathy get in the way of her responsibilities... but still, she couldn't help but feel for them nonetheless. "If I see someone like him, or hear his name, I'll tell him I saw you here."
