Because then the question arises on how close Marten and Marigold get (if you've seen romcoms you know where I'm heading). Given that Marten and Marigold only have Momo and the people they know in common, I can't see a romantic relationship working out.
If it stays out of romcom areas and is just a friendly team then I can see it working out.

If that is a reference to the supposed Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times", you should be aware that its authenticity is highly dubious, and no Chinese-language source for it has ever been discovered. :angel:
Sam does seem to be a bit of a worry though, what with setting fire to the kitchen, and organising a live-fire demo of Momo's weapon system. Perhaps it's the artistic temperament. I wonder what Sam's speciality is: music, dance, wholesale property destruction? We've seen Momo wield electro-Force Lightning in her chibi-body, but if it can blow the socks off someone (or someone out of their socks?) at 100m, what would it do at, say, 5m?

So now Marten is Marigold's grandfather? :psyduck:

There are people who think it's an actual "ancient Chinese curse"? :psyduck: I thought Terry Pratchett came up with it, but wikipedia says it was first atested in "American Society of International Law Proceedings vol. 33 (1939)." . With hints that it was used as early as 1936.
EDIT: Wait, I couldn't have thought that, because what would the title "Interesting times" be a reference to, then.
HiFranc:
I know I've said it before but I think the best model for the way Momo looks at the world is to compare her to a child who has to look after a sick parent.
