Welu:
Padma's smile and wide-eyedness forces me to smile in kind. She seems to mean well, being attentive to a customer but doesn't know Marten well enough to get further into his story. She at least let him finish his mini-story, well when Marten interrupted her to finish it.

You are aware that this is a comic with superspies at volcanoes and sentient robots the size of a dachshund and human eating allosauruses and sexually reproducing, rocket equipped, flying roombas, right?
Right?

--- Quote from: Tergon on 17 Apr 2011, 23:18 ---I think there's a much simpler solution to this. Marten's been to the Secret Bakery twice, and bumped into Padma in a bar where she mistakenly thought he was gay. She recognises his face enough to be friendly to him, but considering the number of regular customers the Secret Bakery probably has, there's a good chance she's just not really all that concerned about Marten's awkward feelings. She doesn't know the guy, why would she need to start hitting the Empathy button with him?

This is pretty much spot-on. A barista isn't going to give a shit about your first world problems if she doesn't already know you outside of work.

I think we'll be meeting HannerDad, but not actually seeing him. I just had this vision of a large robot that HannerDad sends to Earth to check in on Hanners

Which makes sense. If they regularly did so, it would mess with their monkeysphere*.
* No, it's not a TvTropes link :wink:.
