Or simply remember that the change no longer affects her.


--- Quote ---which puts Angus back in the same position Dora was in
--- End quote ---
No, because Dora's position came from inside herself; Angus is, as far as we know, different.


--- Quote ---the bourbon night perhaps making her think Marten really still wanted her
--- End quote ---
It's pretty clear that her reaction to the bourbon was more understanding than that, and there's no reason for her mind to lose that clarity in the cold light of day.

It'll take better arguments than these to convince me that this idea is not heading down the shipping route...

MY POINT.

Is it cold in here?:
I took the hair-tousle to mean that Pugnacious Peach has moved on emotionally.

He could have a growth opportunity, or he could take the easy way out and dismiss her as "crazy".

--- End quote ---

From todays comic I think he is going to salvage the friendship (as long as Dora lets him).
He is expressing concern for her in asking how she was doing rather than thinking only of himself.
He is presenting the breakup as a joint action not as a "crazy" girlfriend dumping him.

Cybit:
Eh, that was just my opinion of how it could break down.  All of your guys' points are true, but two things

1) This is expecting a whole lot of maturity out of Faye, not all of which is necessarily earned. 
2) Regarding Angus: Usually guys who come off too confident are the most insecure of them all. 

People may be one way 90+% of the time, but it's the other 10% of the time that usually blows things up.  Jeph's been really good about showing that although people have personalities, sometimes they go against their "typical" personality, and show more depth.  (Faye not obliterating Dora, for one)
