It took me some time to notice that the last panel is not two panels next to each other. So I was asking myself why Marten thanked Hanners before she did anything.

Ooops! I only just realised that myself. :roll:

I really don't think Faye needs any more alcohol in her system today... lol

Hmmmmm. Does that make them FayePsychic?
And one has to be grateful for Hanners reflexes.

Concerning genders, mind reading and whatnot...
Most couples expect the other to understand stuff implicitly, male or female. One example... my girlfriend asked me to "think about dinner", which I did. What she didn't say, and what she actually meant, was: "plan dinner, go grocery shopping and make dinner", which I didn't. Another example: We were sitting on the couch, and I wanted her to give me the playstation controller so I could play some playstation, so I said "I feel like playing some playstation", by which I actually meant: "can you hand me the controller", since it was laying right next to her and I couldn't reach it. In both cases it ended with us feeling that the other was selfish, careless, etc... but it was just that I expected her to think like me, and she did the same. Which is a pretty serious mistake. She doesn't play playstation and I don't (I shamefully admit) often make dinner.
On the whole though, I'm pretty sure women on the whole communicate less straightforwardly and more through unspoken things that both parties somehow take for granted, than men do. I don't know why, it might be that society expect girls to communicate like that and expect men to just straight up say what they want, but it's the truth. I wouldn't necessarily say it's biological.
And the "let women be women and men be men" sentiment really smells worse than a dead racoon in a sauna. Let's leave such ideas where they belong: In the 1930s.
