[The door is open by the time Mako gets to the alley and Bolin, who is waiting next to it, clocks Mako the moment he turns the corner. His hands are nervously clasped in front of him, standing there like a scolded child. He can't act indignant because, in hindsight, yeah this is kinda messed up and there is no way Mako won't be furious.
The explanation of how he got to this point sounds so far fetched he doubts he'll even be believed. Bolin isn't even exactly sure how it happened but everything got weird after he got spooked by that giant mecha spirit and he's been pretty.. isolated since then with no way to know that upsetting Cloverfield, especially in October, has long lasting consequences.
So maybe he just- maybe Bolin just isn't doing very well. Maybe he hasn't been for a while and he hasn't said anything because he isn't sure what's wrong. He's tried crying it out.. wandering.. adventuring.. even a little fighting but nothing has really helped. Lately it's been a little like no one's even remembered he's around.
But how is he going to explain himself. What on earth is he going to say to Mako.. C'mon, Bo. Think of something. You're an adult, act like one, what have you done? Why are you like this?
It's rolling around in his head like marbles on a circular track but all that goes on pause once Mako is close enough to really see.
Brows up and then furrowed, Bolin looks from Mako to Zuko and back. Mako looks.. well, he looks scary. Teetering on the edge of combustion and an out of control firebender is never a good thing.
But Mako would flip out on him like that...would he? Man, he's so nervous.]
