It really was. We could have kept going on forever if Korra hadn't caved and finally given his clothes back. I guess she thought it would be too weird keeping them stashed...wherever she had them stashed.
Come to think of it, I never did ask her where that was.
[Though she was starting to pick up on a bit of tension here. One would think a joke like this would earn even a slight chuckle, but Mako sounded...nervous?]
[Uh huh. She wasn't buying that for a second, but since she couldn't figure out what exactly it could be...]
Yeah, sure.
Just remember what I said, alright? [LIKE HE COULD FORGET] Having people from your own world here helps a lot. I'm sure Korra would hate it if you were avoiding her just because of a little timeline awkwardness.

[Or possibly the reason why he might be avoiding Korra, but this topic might actually have a chance to get her somewhere.]
It's no big deal, really. All we did was ask her to hold onto some of Conner's clothes for a little while. I promise. That's it.
[Less he think they were causing the kind of trouble that wasn't so fun.]

[... he wasn't sure what to say about that. He knew they were close, based off what she'd told him before but... the guy seemed pretty stand-up?
... And he wasn't sure if being jealous was a normal reaction here]
I see.

There were extenuating circumstances involved.
[Namely, somebody left Zee and Kon alone unsupervised, and they enabled one another.]

I'm sure it was a pretty good prank.

Help, he doesn't know how to smoothly bail out of this conversation and he really wants to]
You... don't say.

You feeling alright over there?

Well... I just realized I should. Head over to Haven North.
[Official cop business.]
Annnd didn't want to interrupt your story. But now that you're done, I need to do that.
That's all.
no subject
Yeah, sure.

But, either way, it worked. And it wasn't exactly a lie. He did have plans to head straight to Haven North, to add to the log book that he'd started.]
I know. Thanks, Zatanna.
