Carl-E:
On the "middle of the night" thing...
Please note that in the first few panels, Faye has her glasses on and is checking her phone (messages/email/whatever). This is not the middle of the night, this is settling in for the night. Not an unusual time to have a discussion and a few musings, and not an uncommon time at all to be thinking (worrying?) about the future.
Angus' last trip to the city may have resulted in an opportunity that he's thinking about, and he's trying to break it to her... or he just feels that they'd both have a better life there.
I don't think this is the beginning of the end or anything, but it's definitely an important question in a relationship that has been going on for a while. Some people never face it, and just go with the flow. But Angus isn't the type to avoid anything - he's facing it head on, rather like the way he courted Faye.
How long have they been dating now, anyway? They were wearing coats soon after it started (Fall?) and it's summer now - maybe 8 - 9 months or so?
That's serious territory...
Not as long as Wil and Penne, but getting there!
TinPenguin:
I just wondered "how long have Wil and Penny been together?" and holy archive dive, it's almost half the history of the comic. In less than a hundred strips they'll overtake Dora and Marten.
Latias:
Regarding the "balls deep" comment and Faye's reaction to it, I believe it is a reference to anal sex. I am asexual and thus not intimately familiar with sexual slang, but the context I've heard it used in before makes it sound very much like a term meant for anal sex. The reaction makes perfect sense if Faye finds anal sex disgusting or otherwise unappealing.

Of course. Marten is the primary focus of the comic, and two secondary characters suddenly being in a relationship doesn't change the overall focus to them. Tai and Dora's relationship is far from the first between secondary characters - in fact, there are three others currently ongoing (Faye/Angus, Will/Penelope, Steve/Cosette) which are all on the sidelines. That's just how the webcomic works.

This interpretation makes sense but makes me sad, both because Faye is THAT opposed to anal and because Angus is joking about it despite her feelings.
Is it cold in here?:
Dora is, on the other hand, the center of the social circle.
