Boradis:
Why the fuck should Faye care what goes on between an ex-fuck buddy she now actively avoids and his sister even though she's her boss?
Why the fuck should Marten give a fuck if Faye finds out?
Jeph, you're really reaching for your drama these days. If you're going to use the hackneyed trope of keeping secrets from each other, you have to at least make it secrets that matter.

Geez, what's up with all the haters on webcomics all of a sudden?

Because Faye might not appreciate being handled with kid-gloves, especially in a situation that involves her. Because her ex "fuck-buddy" has now been cut out of his sister's life because Sven told Faye he loved her. Let's not forget that pre-Talk Faye was rather prone to let her fists do the talking, far more than afterwards at least. Old habits are quite easy to slip back into.

Probably because he lives with Faye. Probably because Faye is his best friend and Dora is his ex, but still a close friend. Probably because if Faye did find out that Dora, and by extension, Marten were having this conversation, Marten mind end up on a receiving end of a Savannah Slammah.

This isn't reaching for drama, this is typical Dora acting out and making something about her, insinuating herself into the problem of others.* And this isn't the drama, this is quite possibly the spark to the trail of gunpowder leading to the giant bundle of dynamite and other high power explosives.
*I would like to leave this little caveat that I do like Dora because her issues are somewhat relatable as someone who is a younger sibling to a more successful older sibling.

Keeps it true to life, IMHO. Honestly, now: when's the last time you overheard someone's drama* and said, "Well, that's a perfectly rational thing to get irrationally worked up over!" Don't know about you, but if I see someone getting their blood pressure up over something that really isn't worth it, I try to talk them down a bit. That's likely where this arc is going (or should, if you ask me**); Dora has an argument with Sven, or Faye, or both, and either realizes or is told in no uncertain terms that it's not quite her business one way or the other.
*As opposed to things where freaking out is legitimate and warranted, which tend to be fewer and farther between.
**I know, you didn't. Play along, dammit.
