[braavado]

I guess...that's something only time will tell us.

[Don't mind her leaning against you a little now, Zatanna.]

So...Conner and I worked things out. What about you and Kon?

[backwordscompatible]

[She doesn't mind at all.]

Well, he did literally jump out the window and became a fugitive for a few hours that first morning...

...but he came back and we talked things through. We're good.

[braavado]

Good. [Korra tilts her head to look at her.]

And Robin? How did that work out?

[backwordscompatible]

[She looked a little less confident about that.]

We're...managing.

He's still hurting. I can tell. But...I still care about him, and I told him that just because I'm with Kon now doesn't mean I won't be there for him when I can. We agreed that we both want to still be friends.

[braavado]

[Korra can see Zatanna's reaction, and slips her arms around her friend to offer some reassurance.]

He said he still wants to be friends, so... I think it'll work out. It'll just take some time for us all to get used to these changes.

[It could have been so much worse.]

Do you think he'd want to come to the...party we're planning for the boys? [Though she doesn't think it'll be big enough to be called a "party" technically."] Should we even invite other people?

[backwordscompatible]

[Reassurance wasn't necessary, but it was no less appreciated. Smiling softly, she rested her head against Korra's shoulder for a second before turning back to look at her.]

Would you want to deprive them a chance to be the center of attention? Perish the thought.

...but, yeah, I think Robin would still want to come. If not for Kon, then for Conner.

[braavado]

Alright, alright. I get it. [She holds her hands up in surrender, with a laugh.] Conner might not mind so much, but Kon probably would.

Who else do you think we should ask?

[backwordscompatible]

Red Robin and Jason, definitely. They're Kon's two favorite people.

[She wanted to suggest the younger, pants-less Robin, but she actually wasn't sure if the boys got along with him as well as she did.]

Kal and Jo are the obvious answers. As for the less obvious ones... [She shrugged] ...we weren't going for any surprise party, were we? Because we could ask the boys themselves.

[braavado]

Orrr yeah, we could just ask them.

[She thinks for a second.]

Hatchy's the robot, right? Jo's mentioned him before, but I've never met him.

[backwordscompatible]

[Sometimes, the simplest solutions were the best.]

That's right. He lives in Jo's Housing Block. I met him that time they held a food party. He made me taquitos. It was great.

[braavado]

How much food do you think he can make? I mean, there's the cake or the pies, but... that's not going to be enough for everybody.

What do you think he'd want in return? I mean...does he even need to eat?

[backwordscompatible]

I honestly have no idea. A lot. Maybe not speedster-levels of course sizes, but I'd imagine he could easily pull out quite a bit.

[As for what he could want, or whether or not he ate...Zatanna could only shrug. She had no idea.]

[braavado]

[Korra purses her lips in thought, then pulls out her phone.]

Here, why don't you show me what he looks like? I can call him and ask.

[backwordscompatible]

Sure.

[She turned on Korra's phone--identical to her own, so she knew exactly how to use it--and flipped through the pictures in the contact lists for a time. Until she settled on the robot's image.]

There you go. That's him.

[braavado]

Thanks. [She memorizes the picture, then sets her phone aside.]

Since we're on the topic of birthdays, you should tell me when yours is, too.

[Because of reasons, obviously.]

[backwordscompatible]

[So subtle.]

Only if you tell me yours.

[braavado]

[She is the queen of subtlety, what are you talking about.]

Deal. Mine's actually the day after Conner's. And Kon's, of course.

[backwordscompatible]

[Then that would make Zatanna the Empress.]

Korra! Why didn't you say so before?

We should celebrate the three of you together.

[braavado]

Oh no, it's okay. [Holding up her hands again, like that mind help fend off the idea.]

It's fine just celebrating for the boys. We didn't really make that big of a deal of it back home anyway. [She smiles suddenly.] Besides, Conner and I were already planning to do something later that night. Just the two of us.

[backwordscompatible]

[Shockingly, the most obvious assumption doesn't immediately come to mind.]

Then Conner already knows?

[braavado]

Yeah. It's funny, actually.

[Korra tilts her head back, thinking.]

We promised each other we'd celebrate our birthdays together way back before we started dating.

[backwordscompatible]

[Zatanna wasn't usually the overly-sentimental type...but that was incredibly sweet.]

That is funny.

What kind of plans did you make then?

[braavado]

Not a lot. We're just going to find one of the empty houses, put together something to eat, and...that's it.

[It's not fancy, but after all the craziness that's been happening, Korra's more than ready for a quiet night in with Conner.

She gives Zatanna a soft nudge with her shoulder.]

You still haven't told me when your birthday is. Fair's fair. I told you mine, now it's your turn.

[backwordscompatible]

[It was fancy for Haven, and with the little amounts of privacy anyone got on a regular basis, sounded like just the thing.]

May 20th.

So...not for another couple of months. [But also not that far off.]

[braavado]

A couple of months for me to think of a present for you.

[She's definitely taking note of the date, though she still wishes she could write all of them down for reference.]

Not that we can really get too fancy with what we have here.
