Unless ... any chance he actually had an intellectual and emotional relationship with Faye and doesn't know how to recognize or describe it? Is he just translating an unfamiliar sensation into the language of his all-too-extended adolescence? I hesitate to give Sven that much credit but it's the sort of characterization Jeph would do.

I think there's something to this. He's used to more of a "hit it and quit it" mentality, and probably wasn't prepared for an expected fling to turn into (for him) something he hadn't bargained for. When you're on unfamiliar ground -- as Sven is -- and you've got a pretty limited toolkit in terms of emotional intelligence and the vocabulary to describe what's going on, as Sven seems to have, then you tend to try to do the best you can with what you've got. Unfortunately, what Sven's got amounts to using a hammer to open a jar of pickles, and I doubt Faye has either the inclination or the patience to steer him on the right path... and that's assuming she's even worked through unpacking enough of her own baggage to help Sven with his.

Not going to bother digging through the archives to find it right now (this comic needs a search function or tags like DoA...), but Faye's attitude toward fixing Sven involves a pair of hedge clippers.
Is it cold in here?:

Memorable dialog like that often ends up in a character's page on the wiki.

Might be the best way about it. Then again, "fixing" Sven isn't her problem unless she wants it to be (and even then, it'd only be to a limited extent), and she has made it patently clear that she *doesn't*. Ultimately he needs to grab those hedge clippers himself.

I thought those standalone pics in Sunstone were just fantasy and not realistically possible?
--- End quote ---
Sunstone is a comic, just not a web comic. He posts the pages to his deviantart site, and eventually they will get gathered into a book. But that's not the characters I was talking about. These are the comics I was referring to (addition of the comic's name by me)
