[ Well, Sonia definitely had run into Conner while out and about, and she's fairly certain Korra already knew...but all the same, she makes an effort to run her roommate to ground afterwards, hoping that maybe there'll be a genuine smile on Korra's face.
She'll check the block first, and then move outwards from it, since she can't simply call and ask, with the phones glitching out. ]
Korra?

Korra?
[Feeling like anything she's going to say is just going to make things worse, Korra leans back against Zatanna for a little while, quiet. Part of her does wish she could just jump in like she would've months ago.
But that was before Haven.]
I should...probably go and meet up with Kal. [They haven't checked on the clones for a few hours now, and Korra worries that something might happen to them while they're away.] But I'll be back soon.

[Zatann let her lean, pressing the smallest amount of her own body weight in return.]
If that's what you want.
This is your place too, Korra. For as long as you want. I'm sure the boys won't mind.

[Korra's actually just coming back from Conner's when Sonia checks the apartment, and she might catch a stupidly happy smile on Korra's face before she can compose herself.
Ahem.]
Uh--Sonia! Hey. [No, she's not nervously fidgeting or anything, why do you ask.] D-did you need something?
Ahem.]
Uh--Sonia! Hey. [No, she's not nervously fidgeting or anything, why do you ask.] D-did you need something?
[ ...Korra, you're completely fidgeting, and Sonia's own bright smile fades to raised eyebrows and mild confusion. ]
Er, I was just out and about and saw...are you quite all right?
Er, I was just out and about and saw...are you quite all right?
[ ...oh my god Korra you need lying lessons, Sonia's eyebrows have only raised. It might be something she'd skip over if not for the translation in effect, really - Sonia never has trouble understanding people here, even if her mastery of local idiom is occasionally shaky. ]
Did something happen?
Did something happen?
Anytime.
[She could relate; sometimes, a comforting physical presence could really help. It'd helped her when she was dying in the Labrynth. When she woke up in the middle of the night from a nightmare. And Korra was a friend. Almost like a sister. Family.]
[It was the least she could do for her.]

[ man did they include anything about diplomacy though GUYS COME ON, THIS IS THE AVATAR, SHE MAY NEED TO DO STUFF WITH PEOPLE... ]
...I would ask if it were something bad, but you were smiling.

[ AH YES, HOW UNSUSPICIOUS but Sonia lets it slide for now. ]
Oh! I ran into Conner earlier. I just wanted to make sure you had, as well.

[Wow this subject change didn't work in her favor at all.
Korra just freezes up for a second, color seeping back into her cheeks again.]
I...yeah, I saw him. I stayed over with Kon and Zee yesterday to make sure he revived, remember?
[It's still pretty new, being this fidgety and fluttery or something--well, someone. The last time had been over Mako, back when she first moved to Republic City. Now that seems like a long time ago.]

Well, maybe a little. But you are really pretty, and your sense of fashion doesn't suck like theirs do!
[ .................ty lee really does like wan and aang i promise
it's just their styles she takes offense to ]

[ who could have seen this coming.
Sonia nods, once, even as she considers Korra. ]
Yes, I was just hoping to see you - well, happy. Again.
[ ............but that aside. Sonia will connect the blatant dots, here. ]
Something happened with Conner?

[ ...Korra, please. Sonia covers a smile with one hand for a second, although since Korra isn't even looking... ]
So - what was it that happened? Or is it a secret?

He kissed me.
[It's a little muffled, what with her hands still covering her face. But she peeks up at Sonia after a second.]
We might be dating now. Well. As much as you can date in Haven, I guess. [Korra slowly lowers her hands, a tentative smile on her face.] It's...not really a secret. I just don't think we're going to be telling everyone we see.

[ Muffled, but still audible. And suddenly it's so...normal. "As must as you can date in Haven", yes, but...it's a conversation that's not about burying the dead or planning raids or Yao.
Sometimes Sonia forgets how much she misses having conversations like that. It's not that she never has them, but everything is colored by taking place in Haven, and this is...
Honestly the most normal thing she's heard in weeks. Even though she'd never really had any friends to gossip about boys with, Sonia feels like this is what a normal girl would do. Right?
There are a thousand not-normal things she could say. Korra and Conner are from different worlds, and someday that may be a bad thing; they're in Haven, and it could be used against them, because everything could be, up to and including any friendship, even Sonia's; the list goes on and on. But Korra knows those things, and Sonia doesn't even want to say them. She has more important questions: ]
Was he a good kisser?
[ SONIA nevermind they weren't important at all ]

[She's definitely considered all of that and more, and it was the reason she'd been so hesitant at first. But then Conner had gone and got himself torn up by hell hounds (with dubious chances of returning to Haven with his soul intact) and that had made her reconsider.
Her cheeks still feel warm, but she's almost starting to get used to it, with the number of times she's gotten flustered over Conner recently.]
...yeah. [Judging by how giddy she feels, even some time after she's left his side, it's safe to say the answer is yes.]
I...I mean, I think so. I've only kissed a guy once before this and that was M-- [Korra cuts herself off sheepishly. Sometimes she forgets she can't just spill all this stuff like she did before, now that Mako's actually here, too.]

Mako? [ Sonia did meet the guy, and he's an "M" name from Korra's world. ] Well, you have also kissed me. But since I did not really get a chance to kiss back, it was not a good showing of my skills.
[ sonia, again. why. ]
As long as you enjoyed it, he was a good kisser, though! [ And she's kissed boys before, so Sonia is an authority here.
Although not the boy she most wanted to kiss, because...murder island. That's pretty much the entire reason. Also he had a Thing about people touching him. ]
I didn't realize you liked him, but...I am happy for you, Korra.
