I don't think he'd look at it that way. He's very self-absorbed, and is in love with Faye (or so he believes). People don't tend to think rationally when they're that into someone - they're just hoping beyond hope that somehow things will work out. He obviously wouldn't hook up with her if she was falling down drunk. But if she had just had a few too many, I think he'd try to rationalize that the booze is just bringing out the love which was always there.

They don't hire women like her. In this universe, anyway. It is not a safe space, something that only time will change.

--- Quote ---When she interviewed for a job as a terrorism research analyst at the Library of Congress, she thought she'd found the perfect fit, given her background and 16,000-volume home library collection on military history, the art of war, international relations and political philosophy. Schroer accepted the position, but when she told her future supervisor that she was in the process of gender transition, they rescinded the job offer.

But that's off-topic. My reaction to today's comic - everyone could see this coming, but Roh Roe.... maybe a franchise in the making? Faye certainly has the smarts to run her own shop in the same style (minus the spiders in the basement), and with regular trips to get ground beans and cakes from the other shop, she wouldn't be cut off from her support.
techkid:
I think it is too soon to say "break-up" just yet. Faye is definitely not happy with Angus passing the audition, not because of anything to do with him, but now her life has been thrown into turmoil and she needs to make one of three choices:
- Follow Angus to NY, uprooting both her social circle AND comfort zone.
- Stay behind, and manage a long distance relationship (IIRC I think it was only determined to be about 2 or 3 hours drive between Northampton and New York, so it could be done as a weekend thing).
- Stay behind, decide that a long distance thing isn't going to work, and leave him.
Options 1 and 3 are going to hurt like hell. Faye's insecurities will come back into play hard and fast, I'd say. Plus, if she does follow him and end up breaking up, where will she go? Would she return to Northampton? Would she want to?
I don't think she will leave him at this point in time. Angus is the perfect counterbalance to her personality. But her entire social structure is based in Northampton, and I couldn't possibly see her kicking that down either.
Either way. Last week we had The Feels. This week will be Teh Dramaz.

--- End quote ---
Dale moves it to make more pancakes as part of the rent.
That brings up a question: Does she even make enough money on IT work? She still has "payments" on Momo's new chassis.
Half Empty Coffee Cup:
We essentially already know that she's going to try the long-distance thing. I think she said as much during Angus's first audition trip. She's just not going to enjoy the transition. Probably alternating weekends at each others' places.
RE Marigold's rent: We don't know how much she makes, beyond the fact that purchasing the Idoru chassis would have necessitated a diet of ramen if Momo didn't have the library gig.
