It's complicated.

Things weren't complicated. Korra was Chekov's uncomplicated biffle who beat him up in the name of learning sparred with him and has an equally goofy sense of humor and also appreciates cold weather. They went shopping for fake mustaches! She's his bro and they're supposed to hang out and put up with each other even though they don't exactly get each other all the time.

Anyway. Chekov thinks too much and things haven't been completely uncomplicated since he kidnapped her, and then things were even less uncomplicated when he traded to get his memories back and Korra kind of evaded ever talking about anything, which is a thing she does, but he likes closure and that didn't happen. But sure, whatever, there's a certain amount of stuff he can ignore, so it was cool. Then Li went and broke up with her and things happened and now Chekov has no idea where they stand. See, in his mind, it means something when you throw someone. Namely, that means things are not okay. Things are even less okay, clearly, when you follow that up with not talking to the throwee or apologizing or forgiving them or anything.

For how smart he is, Chekov has yet to grasp how Korra works. He's pretty sure that she hates him. I mean, if she didn't, she would have been by, right? Right?

Right.

➜ Uhura

[candothat]

Not complicated! Uhura has gone from being a slightly intimidating and very clever communications officer-slash-superior officer to being more of a big sister--moreso, maybe, since Howl and Sophie left. Chekov admires her and respects her ability to take care of herself, but the fact that they're from the same world combined with living under the same roof makes them family and--sorry--a guy has to defend his family. In spite of how poorly his last attempt to defend Nyota went, Chekov would do it again. And he'd probably get his ass handed to him, again.

Uhura has, mercifully, been a very stable part of Chekov's life since she arrived in the City. None of this teenage drama, and she's communicative enough that he always knows where he stands with her, which doesn't give him a chance to overthink potential problems and make them worse than they are. Basically, he adores her. She makes him talk when he's spending too much time in his head and she's willing to have conversations in Russian which does help stave off homesickness (not that Chekov will admit to being homesick).

Except for that one time with the tea and the robot, Penny and Uhura have gotten along quite well and Uhura has been an exemplary employee. She doesn't even take advantage of Penny's incredibly lenient stance on, like, showing up to work, and her people skills are amazing.

She'd like to be better friends with her, but Uhura is just so... classy, and sophisticated, and exactly like one of those girls at school who's so awesome that everyone loves her. That's great, but Penny thinks of herself as a nerdy type. Uhura might tolerate her and be nice to her because that's how she works; Penny doesn't think she has much of a chance at being friends with her, though.

Penny likes Uhura a lot. She's cool, she's great at her job. She just doesn't have delusions of being BFFs.

B'awwww Penny. Y'all ain't biffles, but Uhura likes you a lot and would like ot be more buddies.

➜ Mao

[othersdie]

Hei might have erased Justin's memories about him (the memory gap has been dismissed as either the work of a curse or some kind of brief mental break), but he remembers the talking cat. He doesn't know much about the talking cat or where said cat went off to. He is, however, keeping a weather eye out for Mao and will probably approach him if he identifies him.

Justin likes cats, even crazy ones. He'd like to know that Mao's okay.

This should be a thing we do.

➜ Korra

[bookbending]

Jinora loves Korra like the big sister she never had. I mean, Korra's the Avatar. How cool is that?

That said, she is her father's child and linefaces at Korra on the inside sometimes. Unlike her father, there are also times when Korra mortifies her by being goofy. Jinora seriously questions her decision-making abilities and is reasonably sure that, if left to her own devices, Korra will end up Forever Alone which is the Worst Thing Ever.

Jinora is starting to understand that Korra isn't going to learn to airbend by meditating and doing the exercises that Tenzin used to teach his kids. She doesn't think it's a lack of connection to spirituality, necessarily (although she did think that for a while), but there's something that isn't clicking. She's trying to puzzle out what that something is, but she's only ten; it'd help if she had something to go on.

Arthur is still the best potential love interest in the City. Maybe not for Korra, though; Arthur's awfully refined. Maybe Korra would be better off with Li. Li's a dork, but he's not as stupid as she thought he was.
