Mako didn't know how to answer the old woman's question. He had no idea where he was, nothing looked like it was familiar at all. He kept playing listening closely, getting an idea of what the name of local or far away places were called here...where ever here was.

Mako slowed down when he heard ...

Mako's eyes light up like stars when he heard the word 'Tea', it was almost as if he was some giddy little child.

"Oh please generous host."

Calming down he set his bag down carefully and reached around. Finding what he desired he pulled out an old wooden instrument, that had four worn out strings ...

"Iroh, come."

Mako said as he got up from the bar to follow his gracious host. Iroh jumped down off of the table, onto the chair and hopped off the stool onto Mako's clothes, climbing up to settle on top of his shoulder. Sniffing and looking around as they walked.

As they passed by one of the ...

Hey guys. I'm completely okay with that. Sorry things have been getting in my way. But I don't want to hold ya'll back. I'll catch up and just post the best I can. Sorry about me being behind.

Mako looked over at Saruna and saw a kindness that he was wondering would show up. So many mixes could be seen in this one woman's face, but he could tell that she was trying and that this was not new to her but alienated. Mako smiled and said,

"I would be honored to be allowed into your home. And ...

"Of course! He loves a good scratch, especially on his back. But between you and me, who doesn't?"

Mako let out a mild hearty laugh. Iroh's eye caught something approaching him. Turning his nose towards the object he sniffed Derin's hand. Feeling that the person who owned the hand was not a threat ...

Mako heard Derin's question and looked at the expression on her face. It looked disgusted and misguided.

"Ah, no need to worry. This is Iroh, he's a ferret; kind and gentle but smells a little; but not much."

Iroh stuck his head up out of the glass and took a look at Mako, from hearing his name ...

Mako closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It was now that he had a moment to relax that things started to sink in. He knew nothing of this place and had a bigger feeling that he didn't belong here. What he needed was a way back home.

"I...don't suppose that anyone knows a way for us to get back ...

The moment of their arrival to the old inn, Mako rushed to the bar, nearly knocking over many people in the process. Taking a seat he asked for the biggest glass of water he could get. The bartender raised his eyebrow at first, but shrugged it off and disappeared under the table to get the glass ...

"My apologies, young lady for bumping into you earlier. And I also apologize for not letting you speak first. But I only have two simple questions."

Mako did his very best to speak softly, but the pain and dryness in his throat was making it very difficult.

"One: do any of you know where I may get ...

The intensity of the blaring sun on, Mako's back was starting to take all the water from his skin, causing him to become very dry and very hot. Opening his lids, a blurred vision of his surroundings met his eyes.

Slowly the outline of a blurred brown object became a well defined boot, a foot away ...

I'm looking for a place to put my character, Mako; and his pet ferret, Iroh.

Would it be okay if my character come in and join this thread?

"What I mean to say is, would you like it raw or would you prefer it cooked? And it looked to me like you were fishing; but I am never one to call someone a liar."

Mako smiled as he made a set up to where the strange head could eat his fish without any problem. Putting out the fire Mako, stood up ...

"My apologies, I didn't any disrespect."

He said as he pulled out another fish.

"I just needed to catch another fish, so I can cook them for us."

Mako gathered some wood, and got a small cooking fire going. Skewering the fish with a stick he got them tilted over the fire and cooking.

"If I may ...
