[Guilty, who's guilty? Not Korra. Obviously.]

...Conner knows. Kon probably doesn't yet.

[Yup, that would be why.]

[backwordscompatible]

[oh well that's okay then]

Wait...did Conner ask you to move in with him?

[braavado]

Wha--no. [Korra's voice immediately drops to a hiss, though it's probably pointless since...the boys and their ridiculous hearing. She glances toward the door.]

I...offered. He looked really stressed after he told me what happened with Kal's plan. I just thought it would help if he had someone else to watch his back in case something else happens.

[backwordscompatible]

[The hiss was actually kind of funny, since not only were they the only two in the room for the moment...but both Conner and Kal had Superhearing.]

Oh, I get it now. You asked him. That makes more sense.

[braavado]

[Korra looks at Zatanna suspiciously, arms crossing over her chest in a classic defensive posture.]

What do you mean it makes more sense?

[backwordscompatible]

Nothing.

[Smile a permanent fixture to her expression for the moment, she got up and diverted her attention towards Korra's things. A deliberate, abrupt change in topic.]

Need a hand?

[braavado]

[Why does it feel like Zee's just waiting for her to relax before she springs some other suggestive comment on her?

Still wary, Korra shakes her head.]

Nah, I didn't bring that much with me. Most of my stuff's still in the room with Wan and Sonia. Not that...there's a lot to begin with.

[backwordscompatible]

[Because]

How long do you plan on staying?

[If she hadn't brought everything, despite there being very little, then clearly this wasn't meant to be permanent.]

[braavado]

Maybe...a week? [Korra tosses the pack up onto the upper bunk, just needing something to do with her hands.]

Conner seemed pretty shaken up by what happened. I just wanted to stick around long enough to make sure he's okay, since he's...kind of mad at Kal right now, too.

[backwordscompatible]

[Some of the humor left her eyes.]

Because of the demon thing?

[braavado]

Yeah. I don't think Kal told him the whole plan.

[Korra smiles at Zatanna weakly, and holds her arms out like "tada".]

So...here I am.

[backwordscompatible]

I know he didn't; Kon was pretty upset when I talked to him about it.

[Admittedly, with the initial suspicion that Kon had known something as well, and not come to her. Her feelings upon being proven wrong were highly mixed.]

Here you are.

...I'm sure Conner'll be happy to know you want to look after him. Heck, if I wasn't already living here, I might've considered moving in, too.

[braavado]

[Korra winches, remembering how furious Kon had been.]

Yeah--Kon was. Really upset about being left out of the plan, too.

[She leans against the bedframe.]

Well, since we're both here now. I guess we can split up the "superboy watch" duties.

[backwordscompatible]

So I noticed. Ironically, he said it was Conner that calmed him down. Kicked puppy dog in the rain eyes won him over. Again.

[Though she might have helped a little.]

How did you want to do this? I'll take afternoons and evenings, you take nights and early mornings?

[braavado]

[Korra manages a smile.] Yeah, he didn't seem to calm down until Conner gave him the look. At least we know everyone's doing all they can to figure this thing out.

[Briefly, she wonders if the kicked puppy look would be just as effective on her...]

That sounds fine. I'm actually helping Kal with something right now, so...I'll be around at night.

[backwordscompatible]

[Spoiler alert: the kicked puppy dog look works on just about everyone, Korra. Even Zee wouldn't have been immune.]

I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that.

Should Kon and I sleep on the couch, then?

[braavado]

[Korra just looks confused.]

Uh--wait. Why would you need to sleep on the couch? There's enough room in here for everyone.

[backwordscompatible]

Just in case you and Conner wanted some privacy?

1/several

[braavado]

[????]

Priva--

[braavado]

[asldkfsdfjkd]

3/3

[braavado]

[Oh spirits. Warn a girl when you do that, Zatanna!]

We're not--I mean. Nothing's happened! Nothing's going to happen!

[backwordscompatible]

[But where would be the fun in that?]

Are you sure about that? Do you want something to happen?

[braavado]

Um.

[That seems to be all she can manage, with her burning face hidden in her hands.]

Do we have to talk about this?

[backwordscompatible]

We do now.

[Come on, Korra. It's just the two of them. Alone. In their room, without the boys. Nobody around to eavesdrop. There really was no better opportunity.]

Come on, just admit it. [She rose to her feet, biting back a laugh as she came up and loosely wrapped her arms around Korra's shoulders, resting her chin against them.] Wouldn't you just love the chance to cozy up to him like this? Feel those big, strong arms wrapped around you?

...or, hey, your big, strong arms wrapped around him. [Because dayum, girl, you're like all muscle there.]

[braavado]

[Zee, you're killing her here. She doesn't bother moving her hands away from her face because she can feel her cheeks getting even hotter (just when she thought that wasn't possible).]

I don't--- [The words are a bit muffled.] We haven't even talked about anything yet.
