They walked through the forest of dense trees beside Todoroki, who was holding Buttons by a rope that he had tied around the horse's saddle.
"Sorry, Izuku," Shoto muttered just audible enough for the group to hear.
"For what?" Izuku asked confused.
"For calling you broccoli boy, I just couldn't remember your name and that's the first thing I thought of when I saw your hair," Todoroki said surprisingly flatly.
"Oh, it's fine!" My hair looks that much like broccoli?! Midoriya thought smiling.
"I mean at least the nicknames accurate-" Uraraka began to say before Iida lightly elbowed her. "I mean it's not necessarily a bad thing…" Uraraka was now blushing. And Todoroki was slightly red from cringe.
I need a haircut. Thought Izuku still smiling stupidly. They had been walking for around 8 minutes before coming across a small clearing in the middle of the woods. In the center was a decently sized blue tent and outside of the tent was a small picture that looked to have a smiling white haired woman on it. As soon as todoroki noticed it he ran quickly and sloppily tied buttons to a tree, ran over to the tent full speed and grabbed the picture. Todoroki was slightly pale and slightly red in the face.
"Welcome to my camping spot," he muttered. It seemed as Uraraka couldn't control what she was saying, because before she even knew her mouth was about to speak she had asked,
"Who's that?" the only thing she managed to control was the tone of her words. She asked him this softly just in case he didn't want to answer.
"I suppose there's no harm in saying," todoroki said defeated but also flatly. In fact it seemed as if everything he said came off as calm or flat in tone, "Its my mother, Queen Rei to you. She left the throne when I was five. Assuming your all the same age as me, you probably don't even remember seeing her."
"Oh…" Uraraka said sympathetically. Todoroki sighed,
"It's fine, it just gives me another motivation in defeating that bastard dragon trainer, to avenge my mother," There was silence for a few minutes before Todoroki called Izuku over to give him a weapon
"I only have one extra sword, hopefully it will be fine," He muttered handing Izuku the sword and a belt to keep the sword in.
"Thanks so much for the weapon and joining us," Izuku said smiling, "also, do I really look that much like broccoli?" Todoroki shook his hand from side to side.
"Hey Deku!" Uraraka called, "I found a scroll!"
"Uh, mage girl, that's not a scroll its a map," Todoroki said. Uraraka was holding a rolled up piece of paper.
"It's a good thing you found that map I couldn't find it," Todoroki muttered.
"It was lying right next to the tent, how couldn't you find it?" Uraraka asked.
"I forgot where I put it," Todoroki mumbled then sighed,"Well at least you found it because that map is the next step to finding bakugo."
