Oh, wow... The expressions on Marigold in the third-last and penultimate panels are wonderful. Seriously Jeph (if you're reading this), some of your best artwork ever.
Tuitsuro:
Honestly, that look kills me. She's gloriously happy. Admittedly, a better result than my 'slap in the face' suggestion would have obtained.
lunakitten:
Hee. :-D
Oh my.
The next comment that usually comes after that is "can I touch them?" (yes, I know this from experience- even straight women/gay men go there :oops:) which would be what someone should walk out on...
Oh great- I've become one of them now. I swear I don't ship anyone!

Not to be completely mean, but she's sitting there at the front of the apartment complex having her own personal pity party. Almost makes me want to slap her.

No she doesn't. She's just having a rough time and it probably all came as a shock.
If she's still moping in a day or two, then she's being pathetic.
If you want to slap someone, slap one of the people that tried to hide this from her.

I strongly suspect that only very little of her mood is due to being the last to know and blaming the rest. A big chunk of it is likely having viewed Faye as a friend to some degree -- one of the few times she's let someone in, emotionally, and only very recently, to boot -- and now feels betrayed, whether or not it is warranted. She confessed her interest in Angus to The Girl Who Was Already Chasing Him! Not to mention, The Girl Who Already Pretty Much Got Him! (She doesn't know much of their history, after all, so this is likely her perception.) So likely a heaping helping of embarassment in there, to boot, especially if she's been thinking about her recent attempts to convince Angus to reconsider.
An immediate reaction like this is very normal. That she didn't completely run off, or start screaming or hunting down Angus or Faye is a good sign, really. She withdrew a short distance to cope. I agree, if she sulks/cuts herself off a good long time then that's the point to get irritated with her. In the short term, her behavior is very normal.
People who shrug off a deep hurt and keep partying like nothing happened are the ones to watch very, very carefully.
Steve the Pocket:
I don't know if Jeph reads this at all, but Marigold's lip in panel three and maybe also four is a deep maroon for some reason.
(Actually I know the reason but if you haven't been watching the Ustreams it won't make sense.)
