--- Quote from: haikupoet on 12 Jan 2012, 22:07 ---There is one possibility that now occurs to me: she hasn't left town. She is truly devastated and ANGRY. Marten will run into her and she will tear into him. There will be tears and rage. What there will not be is a reconciliation. Marten will realize he jumped the gun and will wind up miserable for weeks.
--- End quote ---
I don't get it. You're suggesting she was never going to leave town? That this was all some game that Marten didn't play in to, and now that he's found out he's going to feel worse about it?

Things do sometimes happen to screw up flights, among other things. It doesn't necessarily have to be a game, just some bad luck.

Oh okay, my bad. Fair enough.
I don't know, I have a hard time imagining anything that explosively dramatic. I expect the next few weeks are going to be pretty maudlin whenever Marten's around. What's the point of self pity if you can't wallow in it a little?
Blackjoker:
Hypothetically it might be more she was trying to decide if she really could stay longer, had trouble talking to Marten about it, and then when it finally came down to it she wanted to talk to him and his comment maybe filled her with guilt or she figured it fully was over and left. Her leaving earlier than she had said after the extension thing was a pretty low thing to do. As said, what Marten did was pretty passive aggressive, however it is also understandable. (Note that I am not saying that it was RIGHT, I just said that I can understand it). Also, I almost feel like there needs to be some way to discuss this without someone claiming that complaints against a female character are misogynistic.
Faye yelling at him also feels in character, now it's probably not the best idea and we're going to see another round of 'Rub salt in the wounds' but meh.
themacnut:
Ah Marten, Marten, Marten. You really need to explain your point of view better. If your reply to Faye's question had been something like "She doesn't call me for a week, then calls out of the blue with NO apology or real explanation, and expects me to meet up with her like nothing happened?? Of course I refused!" you might have gotten more sympathy. Notice I said MIGHT have.
But since he didn't, it seems like he's already self-flagellating himself, and has now enlisted Faye's unwitting help.
