Perhaps it was the fact that he was a fire-bender that Mako found the place to be relaxing, well as relaxing as anything could be with the destruction that had befallen the place. The teenager was grumpy looking, but how could he be anything but upset. He had no idea where Bolin was, and the fact that his little brother could very well be dead wasn't something he wanted to contemplate. How cruel was fate that he lived and the only one remaining of his family? Mako sent a fireblast from his first up into the air in frustration and despair.

Mikasa made her way through the fiery grounds constantly on the lookout for Eren and Armin. She was weary and tired from having been on the move for months, searching everywhere and still not finding them. She wrapped her red scarf tighter around her neck, remembering the day Eren had given it to her when his family had so kindly taken her in. It was almost worn through by now though, but it was the only connection she had to him in this wretched place. She looked up in surprise when a sudden blast of heat made her jump back. She quickly drew her swords and found the one who'd been the source, "Who are you?" she demanded quietly.

Mako immediately went on the defensive raising his first toward the girl with the swords. "I could ask you the same thing." He added his voice stern and serious as if daring her to try anything, he had been in his share of fights when he was an orphan on the streets. Mako wasn't intimidated in the least knowing he could handle one opponent if it came down to a fight.

Mikasa raised a brow, "You're the one who tried to burn me," she answered calmly as she studied him carefully. She was a highly trained soldier and the best of her class. Often her instructors had said she was worth 100 other soldiers. She had no fear of him, even if he seemed to be able to control fire. She had faced many more horrific things in her childhood than this boy had probably seen in his lifetime, or at least so she assumed.

"I wasn't trying to burn anybody, it's how I relieve my stress." Mako replied crossing his arms over his chest, basically showing he wasn't going to attack unless she did first. "Sorry about that though." He added as an after thought although his tone remained neutral.

Mikasa lowered her swords, but didn't sheath them, "Apology accepted," she replied simply before looking at his hands, "So you can control fire?" she asked for confirmation as she looked around her. It would make sense for him to spend time here then, if it were so.

"Yeah, it's called Firebending. My brother can Earthbend though." Mako responded. "You haven't seen anybody that can do that have you?" He asked not wanting to get his hopes up due to the fact it was unlikely that she had seen Bolin anywhere. The teenager didn't want to risk not asking the question though.

Mikasa shook her head, "If that means he can control earth the way you control fire, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I haven't seen anyone like that around here." She paused, unsure if she should ask, but if he'd been searching for his own brother, maybe he'd caught sight of hers along the way. "...Have you by any chance seen a young man, about my age, a little shorter than me though with green eyes and black hair who goes by Eren Jaegar? Or a blonde haired blue-eyed boy named Armin Arlert?"

Mako felt disappointment at her answer, but he hadn't really expected a positive one anyway. Though he hated to give her the same kind of negative response. "I'm sorry, but no. Honestly you're the first person I've seen in a long time." The answer was honest, but he really hated having to give her bad news.

Mikasa nodded, having expected it, but still slightly disappointed. She hadn't made any headway in months. "Have you been here all this time then?" she asked as a fire flared up nearby. She backed away from it quickly, this place wasn't somewhere she'd willingly stay long, but it was one of the few she hadn't yet checked in this area.

"Not to long only stopped searching to catch a bit of rest before moving on. Besides this is the best place to practice my bending, less likely to hurt people in a place people don't really go." Make responded looking over the landscape again, making a mental note to remember this place for later.

Mikasa nodded and looked over the desolate landscape, despair slowly creeping into her bones once again. "I suppose not many would come out here," she agreed. Mikasa looked out and smiled crookedly at how the land seemed to reflect well the volatile emotions roiling within her, "Though there's something strangely... almost comforting about a place like this..." she murmured to herself.

"You noticed it too then? Here I thought it was just because I feel better around fire, but I guess that's not necessarily a bad thing with how the world is now." He stated unfolding his arms this time, as he paused. "So the people you're looking for your family?" Mako asked curious, but not wanting to press too hard for information.

Mikasa nodded, "Yes, I grew up with those two and now... they're all I have left," she admitted as she glanced back up at him, "Though neither are blood related to me, they might as well be. My biological parents were killed when I was young, and Eren not only saved me from their murderers, but it was his family that took me in. His parents were killed years later as well and Armin was with the both of us from the beginning. We're all each other has left."

"That reminds me of my own family. My parents were killed by a mugger when I was younger, Bolin and I only had each other. We didn't have anybody to take us in though we grew up on the streets. I hope you find them though." Mako responded silently wishing her good luck.

Mikasa nodded, "Thanks. Good luck with finding your brother," she responded flatly. She meant it sincerely, but she wasn't exactly sure that came across. Relating with other people had never really been her strong point.

Mako wasn't exactly know for his social skills either so he merely nodded. "If I see them I'll tell them I saw you, and thanks. Good luck to you as well."

Mikasa nodded, "I'll let Bolin know I last saw you here if we meet," she told him honestly. She then turned and walked away, not looking back. Mikasa had to keep moving to find the others.

(I'll add Merida)
Seeing fire just a couple of moments ago made Merida want to know what happened before. She saw a young man and a young woman talking. She then wisps going on the ground and decided to follow them..... "Changing fate....changing fate...." She thought to herself. Just then, she accidentally bumped into Mako. "Oh, sorry sir..."

Mako hadn't been expecting anybody to bump into him and jumped automatically on a defensive mode like before, but lowered his fists as she apologized. "It's okay really, what you doing out here? It's dangerous you know." He added crossing his arms across his chest again and looking the slightly younger girl up and down.

Merida, got a little irritated by that comment. By people telling Merida that areas are "dangerous" she felt like people talking to her like a young child. "Well, I can take care of myself...just because I'm a girl in a dress does not mean I'm a damsel in distress... I did shoot down a bear with my archery equipment..." She then stopped her venting thinking that the guy could start an argument so, she wanted to start reasoning why she was there in the first place. "I was following these sparks called wisps...which are known to help people change their fate.... I don't know how I ended up here though...I might as well find out..." She then saw more leading to a cave...so, she followed then again...

Mako held up his hands quickly, "I wasn't saying anything about you being a girl!" He half shouted, this girl reminded him of Korra with the over reaction. "Never heard of wisps." He mutters as he watches her take off again. The firebender sighed slightly deciding that following her would probably be a good idea, she could get in over her head if he let her go alone. "Strong or not you shouldn't be on your own." He added walking a good distance behind her.

Merida heard him behind her and she grumbled a little but, she did not want to get on his bad side. She then turned around and said, "They change your fate. Once, my mum and I had an argument over me not being a normal girl...instead....she wanted me to get married....and get a man. I kept telling her I wasn't ready...but, I felt like she didn't listen to me." She said and then followed the wisps. Then, after a few steps later...she then found a giant footstep in the middle of the ground. "Is..Mor'du' back? I thought he was dead...."

Mako despite only knowing the girl for a few minutes could only imagine what a fight between her and her mother would've been like. Examing the footprint that she had found he grew curious at the fact she had muttered a name. "Somebody you know then?" He asked curious of her answer.

Merida looked up at Mako and nodded. "My mum told me that Mord'uu was a prince who was very jealous of not being...loyal or something. So, he went to an old witch to help him change his fate. His result was him turning into a bear...." She explained. "Also, I only know about the legend...not him as a person...thank goodness... And I once fought him...until my mum saved me... It's a long...story..."

"Yeah sounds like a long one, don't have to tell me." Mako stated with a shrug of his shoulders. "Though I still don't think it's wise to go following after bear tracks alone. Capable as you seem to be I'd feel terrible if I left you alone like that." He added trying to give the younger girl a smile.

Merida knew that someone protecting her would be better. Her mom, while being a bear after changing her fate made her feel a little better. "Well...thank you. And I'm also sorry for the reaction before....it's just that..I sometimes have memories...of my mom making me becoming a lady. She tried to get me into marriage....which I was not ready for...." She then found a cave and heard a growl. She then took out her archery equipment. "I took something like this before...." She thought it could be a bear..but, she heard something coming towards her ... Which looked familiar. "Mor...DUU. THIS FOR TRYING TO KILL MY MOTHER." She aimed at the bear's heart until he scratched her arm. She looked at him and with a confident look. "Just a little scratch." She then took aim again and blasted the arrow into his heart. "THAT'S FOR TRYING TO KILL MY MUM."

"It's okay I've expected that kind of reaction with most of the girls I know." Mako added with an uneasy chuckle as he remembered his friends.
The better mood he had immediately vanished as the bear approached. Seeing that the red-haired girl clearly wanted to take the thing out on her own he stayed back. He formed fireballs in his fists just in case she needed help. "Nice shot, remind me not to get on your bad side." He stated seeing the arrow in the bear's heart.

Merida winked at him with a small smirk. "Yeah, being on my bad side against enemies....is bad. I continue to feel this way at times. I have no idea why Mor'duu would go after my mum. I was not sure...if it could be revenge or just him picking on just anyone in general.." She commented and ate her apple.

"His mistake obviously." Mako stated with a tiny almost unnoticeable smirk.
