Is it cold in here?:
I didn't see what Marten did wrong, either, but assumed that I was clueless about some social norm (again).

DSL:
No faux pas on Marten's part; as said by others, he began to answer a question addressed to him by Dora.
His exasperated sigh in response to Tai's whatever-that-was (my niece would have told her daughter, "use your words") could be seen as a little pissy, but there are likely mitigating circumstances ("Yes, for the nth time," -- through clenched teeth --  "I'm OK with you dating Dora!").

Madmartigan:
Tai's grating personality rears itself again....

Marten, you know....IS Dora's friend, Tai.  And has been far longer.  It's only natural he'd answer a question of a friend asking about if she's also invited.  Especially considering Marten brought it up in the first place.


I took Marten's sigh as a "oh for ***** sake! fine. guess i can't ask my friend these questions anymore."  She's definitely one of the overbearing types I avoid as friends.  Just as my own personal preference. 

Barmymoo:
I found that really odd, and kind of out of character for Tai. We've seen a lot of character development with her, and this seems more like something she'd have done two years ago (real time, guesstimate).

On the cursive thing, I have never been taught cursive. I write "joined up" which is what I was taught to call it, but not always joined up. I'd like to be able to write in cursive, it looks lovely. My Korean student does write in beautiful cursive, which really surprised me as the previous Korean boy did not write very well at all.

Well, yesterday, about Marten stating he's got a lot of friends, you said this:

Which induced me to try and count them. But when Dora appeared in my list, I told myself "Ah, but Tai will certainly want to be the one to extend the invitation to Dora." It just seems a normal part of a relationship to me, even a budding one.

But as has been said, Marten was answering to Dora's question, so he wasn't really overstepping.
