[The surprising thing was, ironically, Zatanna wasn't as surprised as she thought she might be. Her mind vaguely drifted back to a past conversation they'd had about complicated relationships. It would also have been a lie to say she didn't wonder if this was going to affect the current thing she has with Conner.]
I do...did like him a lot. But he was dating our other friend, remember?
And then...Haven happened. It's been so long, and no one from my time's showed up before this. I...kind of stopped expecting they would. It doesn't matter if I used to like him or not, or if it's been months, he's still one of the first friends I made in Republic City. Or ever.
What happened when we talked? It made me realize how much things have changed--for me and for him.
[Korra wouldn't be able to see due to lack of video, but Zatanna's expression took on a look of pure empathy.]
I get it. Beleive me, I get it.
[Haven changed you. Sometimes for the worse, sometimes for the better. But the longer you stayed, the more you changed. And so did your prorities. Sometimes...even your relationships.]
This place just loves throwing us curveballs when we least expect them, huh?
Tell me about it. He couldn't have come at a worst time either. He just got here, and Yao's been prepping for something big that could happen any day now.
[It's definitely a cause for worry.]
I missed him and the others, but I don't want them to be here.

Is that a...good thing? Bad thing? Mix of both?
audio;
I mean, I was in a relationship, and I don't even know anything about it.
[She sighs, quietly.]
At first, he kept moving away when I was too close. I guess that sort of hurt, too.

Considering, in a way, she was more likely to be in Mako's position.]Do you want to remember?
I mean...if you two ended up in a relationship for a while, you must've really liked him. Or will like him. However that works.

But...it's better than being alone.
audio;
I guess I should call Conner soon, huh. Was he really...upset?
audio;
audio;
Don't worry, I'll talk to him. I'll just wait a few hours before I try to call him.
[Since he's sleeping and all.]
audio;
I'll see you later too, alright? I'm just glad you're doing a little better.
