I know what's right. Rebuff Marigold, tell her she's too drunk to take seriously, then resolve to pretend like it never, ever happened unless she brings it up. (Of course, Faye's going to barge in and ruin this strategy.)
Meanwhile, if Angus decides he likes the idea of Marigold as his SO, he can make moves to make that happen. But not like this. Because it will be (everybody singa!)
that's not nearly all…Oh!...tainted love

Wouldn't that be a terrible thing to do to Marigold? Yes, she is drunk, but that's still a pretty harsh reaction from her roommate/(possibly) best friend/love interest. There's no way that she could effectively bottle something like that up, save for a blackout, which, come to think of it, would be rather convenient for all involved.
Penquin47:
"Marigold, you're drunk. If you remember and still want this in the morning, come talk to me. Otherwise, this never happened." Then in the morning make sure to check on her and give her an opening to bring it up - which gives him all night to think about what he wants to do and figure out how to let her down as gently as possible if he decides to hold out for Faye.
That's about the best thing he could do. So he'll either freak out and run or go for it now, only to have morning freakouts and badness.
Poor Marigold... until this she reminded me a lot of me, so I want her to be happy. I wouldn't have the courage to get that drunk around someone I liked for exactly this reason!
michi-love:
I think you are all overestimating Angus's niceness. Yes, he's a nice guy, but he's also a guy who coincidentally says incredibly ass-y things without really thinking about it. Come on, you know? If he said something stupid to her over something LESS awkward and shocking, what makes anyone think that he'll be completely rational and taking her feelings into account? I assume that will be... maybe part of it, but I doubt it will be the foremost thing on his mind when setting her down. I'm sure this situation has triggered Angus's fight or flight response. I'm nearly positive that Faye triggers fight and Marigold triggers "GET. THE. FUCK. OUT OF THERE." flight.
