Westrim: Possibly they liked each other, and both realized how they fucked up.
Hell, I could have even been wrong earlier, and Marigold wanted Dale to leave because she was embarrassed, not because she was filled with rage.
Hell, even the Hiss might have been a defense mechanism.
One of the most powerful ways to defuse an argument is to admit that you fucked up.
That being said, the whole momo parent trap bit, it seems a bit creepy, but she does want marigold to have friends.
Romanticide:
I find it odd that Dale was scared to speak with Marigold normally, he doesn't seem to have any problem to talk to any of the girls of the coffee shop, but I guess when the girl in question likes WoW he freaked out... I find it cute that they finally seem to able to clear the misunderstanding.
Is it cold in here?:
Dale seemed to be a confident conversationalist when he and Marigold first met. How do we reconcile that with his saying he's afraid of talking to girls? It's also worth remembering that he's a favorite at Coffee of Doom.
Rghfrgl:
Yeah, his introduction was pretty much 'This is cool guy Dale, he's a pretty cool guy.'
DSL:
Allowing for the fact that more people than want to admit it, suffer critical clarity failures when we most want to be clear ... substitute "girls I'm interested in (as girls)" for just "girls" in Dale's speech and things become clear. As I recall, Dale at first had no difficulty in talking to Marigold UNTIL the exact moment he discovered (by reading her T-shirt, IIRC) she was a fellow WoWser/wargamer/whatever the hell they want to call themselves. Then Marigold shifted into "NO TIPS FOR ALLIANCE SCUM" mode -- I'm going to assume, based on some experience, this was a panicked reaction to "omg someone's taking notice of me and I didn't initiate this contact" -- and off we were to the present races.
I don't intend to present this as DALE'S FAULT vs. MARIGOLD'S FAULT RARRR, though it will no doubt degenerate into that. Just as two people of good will, both reacting out of fear. Are they perfect people? Complete fuckups? No more or no less than any other h. sap drawing breath at the moment, despite what we may think of ourselves.
