St.Clair:
Right, because coffee drinks are so much healthier.

I think it might be more that she was drunk and impulsive, also if memory serves he used his 'Come Hither' look on her (though he was aiming for Hannelore and missed) which might be her definition of a cheat code. I do like the idea of Marten as a strategy guide but he seems rather incomplete as he is closer to a "Ok, don't do X, I have no clue if anything will HELP you but I can tell you what will get you kiilled."
JackFaerie:
It's just that she keeps casting herself as The Much-Wronged Victim in that relationship and not taking any responsibility for a situation that she, in effect, orchestrated. I think she has plenty of reason to still be upset and hurt about it, but I also maintain that, within the boundaries of the situation (as it was set up by Faye!) Sven did very little "wrong." A lot "stupid" and "unfortunate," but little morally wrong.

Yeah, beat me to it. Pity there's no one in her life who can really get away with making her face that:
1) She went after Sven, not the other way around;
2) Both of them explicitly acknowledged that it was about sex and nothing else;
3) Faye made it clear that she wasn't interested in any genuine relationship;
4) He slept with someone else and was up front to her about it;
5) She couldn't hack it and bailed, the end.
I don't think Sven did anything wrong. What he was was her regular late night booty call. If she wanted a monogamous pairbond, she should have negotiated one. She didn't owe him anything - and would have violently resented any suggestion that she did - and he didn't owe her anything. Period.
Okay, she couldn't hack him boffing someone else, and she bailed; that's her right. But time for her to do some growing up and take responsibility for her own actions. "Cheat code," feh.
