--- Quote from: snarkyone on 16 Oct 2014, 19:36 ---Oh I am not saying he's not being obtuse in regards to her or her feelings. But I do think he's hurt that she isn't being supportive.
Consider that most everything he's said has been on a level that is decisive and mature in regards to what he wants. I am certain he feels like he has been open and honest about his goals and I would think anyone would want their significant other to be supportive in that role. So the fear and disappointment he has right now is also understandable.

Right, I agree with that. And I'm not anti-Angus. I've been rather meh on him but I wonder if he is replaying his and Faye's talks about this and her supportive words and wondering if she was humoring him under the assumption that he wouldn't get the gig and so she really wouldn't have to worry about things. To think that your partner doesn't believe in you like that is ... rough. And I'm not saying Faye didn't believe in him, I'm just thinking that Angus's present behavior might be due to "Wait, you were okay with this before ... oh. You were all supportive because you didn't think I'd actually get this. Cool. Great."
I do think a breakup is on the horizons, if only because Angus might feel like he and Faye aren't suited anymore. Remember the "zit on her ass" that shocked and dismayed him when they first had sex? This seems like the emotional version of that. He was under the impression that Faye's support was genuine and now he's wondering if he was wrong about that, and it's pissing him off.
Poor Faye, though. She's trying really hard to hold it together. I can't help but think that this was foreshadowing of a Sven reentry. Possibly in all the ways that can be parsed.

--- Quote from: Rimwolf on 16 Oct 2014, 19:20 ---She won't talk to him, she won't even look at him. What's the guy supposed to do?
--- End quote ---
Realize she's freaking out and give the girl a damn hug.
--- End quote ---
Look at the arm across her chest. That's don't-touch-me body language.
--- End quote ---
If it were arms crossed, I would buy it. One arm grabbing the other elbow is "I'm feeling really uncomfortable right now" (at least that's my go-to move when I'm uncomfortable *shrug*) and that is "I could use a hug" land.
--- End quote ---
Crossed arms would read as a position of strength. Don't touch me!
The one arm and the turned body are defensive. D-Don't touch me.
--- End quote ---
I agree that it's a defensive position, but it's a weakly defensive position. Faye's body language in this strip and the last half of the last strip scream that she wants some kind of reassurance but is bracing herself because she doesn't think she's going to get it. You say it's "don't touch me", I say it's "do something to help or leave me alone because I'm tying not to cry". I think we'll have to agree to disagree.

I don't think we've seen enough of Angus outside of her to really know his character though. If there's potential for him to remain or be brought back, I think there will be a period of introspection and conversation. If not, he'll be gone.

...aaaand just to take the edge off the pain for a sec, this is happening on Faye's shift which started at 5PM, which means Marten and Claire have probably been spending all day together, liberally dosing each other with smooches.
Sucks to be Faye right now, dangit.
