--- Quote from: Schmorgluck on 23 Apr 2011, 13:49 ---I think it would still be consistent if Dora went all "I'm sorry Marten, I'm not ready for this talk yet. Could you please avoid coming here for now? I'll contact you when I'm ready." Marten would comply, because he's the kind to leave people space (a bit too much at times, to his own detriment, but that's not the point).
Then, Dora being Dora, and prone to let panic take the best out of her, she'll cower from initiating that talk for MONTHS, to the point that Faye has to physically threaten her.
--- End quote ---
And the way things go, by the time Dora finally gets around to contacting Marten again, Marten will have gotten used to not having her around, will have mostly gotten over her, and HE will be the one who doesn't want to be bothered. He had to psych himself up to go into CoD remember? It'll be easier for him if Dora blows him off, and if she keeps blowing him off with lame excuses, Marten could come to the conclusion that Dora really doesn't want to see him again, and so will drop yet another ex completely from his life. If you really think about it, neither of them really HAVE to see each other again, Marten stays out of CoD, Dora stays away from Marten's apartment. Hanners and Faye would just have to accept the change in their social circles.
Or Faye will have to force them both to meet up together at swordpoint.
jwhouk:
What gets me is, if she's so insecure about relationships, how in the world does that translate into her owning a (relatively successful) business? I mean, yeah, we don't see many customers at CoD (except after the Indie Rag review), but if the place is still up and running, it means that she must be doing something right.
I know, it's not the same thing, but personal insecurities do have a way of cropping up at inopportune times at work and in other situations.
gprimr1:
There are some strips that show how she worries about CoD's future.
PHDrillSergeant:
I'd like to point out that Marten and Faye tying Clinton to a chair and threatening him with a sword is HELLA ILLEGAL.
Varian7:
Stalking someone is also kind of illegal as well.
