*Disclaimer* The following rant is made with full knowledge that this is a comic and thus fictional and scripted:
You know something? No. Hell no. She chews him out for doing the same thing she did, but because she runs from her feelings while he protects his, he's in the wrong? And with ALL that said, she expected him to go chase after her for the sake of being able to have said "he tried"? He's supposed to just get up and run over to her because it's her last night in town after dodging dude for a week. Heh, SURE. "Be decent", she says. No, Faye. No. Personally, I was proud of him when he said he was busy, since I knew it was as close as he'd come to saying "It sucks that you dodged me all week and now you wanna see me just as you're leaving. No." Normally I'm behind Faye when she gets indignantly angry like that, but not this time.
Tova:
Point taken about reactions to Steve (though I tend to disagree with those as well) - after a bit of a rethink, I'll retract that accusation and offer an apology. I probably got that one wrong in the heat of the moment.
The rest of my posts still stand. :angel:
Emperor Norton:
Fair enough, Tova. I actually don't have a problem with the rest of what you said.
Marten is acting like a mopey victim. I think Faye could be a bit nicer to him, but his reaction kind of sucks too.
Honestly the only problem I have with her reaction is that she seems to assume he should know something and is basing her opinion of the situation on the idea it was stupid for him not to know.

Padma = Wrong for dodging Marten.
Marten = Wrong for lying to Padma about being busy instead of coming out and saying "I'm kinda hurt you spent a week dodging me, what was that about? If you'll explain that to me, yeah sure, we can hang out."
Wrong + Wrong =/= Right. Saying he was busy was small, beneath him and petty. He's better than that. And when exactly did Faye do the same thing?
ZBixby:
Although after all this Faye laying the "Smack down" on Marten, wouldn't it be something else if Angus does something to make her feel uncomfortable again? Marten does give her a good kick when shes being stupid about something so it's good to see her doing the exact same (albeit it probably won't help retroactively), than again it might if it turns out Padma was playing a game to test him (albeit this is highly unlikely also so please don't jump down my throat about this theoretical situation) and is still around.
The fact is they are good friends and she's doing what probably should have been done when he was in the coffee shop earlier that week when they said he was being aggressively passive.
