BenRG:
Just a thought on strip 2825, panel 2. Faye's first lines are to laugh and she looks very surprised.
What makes this odd is that, in Strip 2810, Faye is telling Dora that she thinks Marten and Claire engaged in 'sexy shenanigans'. So, why the "you're kidding, right?" laugh and the look of surprise?
This is only a guess but I'm thinking that Faye was expecting a one-off drunken fumble followed by a Walk of Shame and weeks of mutual awkwardness and embarrassment. She wasn't expecting Marten to announce that he and Claire are in a relationship. Oh, she guessed that Claire had a crush on Marten but not that it was possibly mutual!
davedig:
I sort of wonder about Faye's response too, maybe it is taht. I'd like to think she's more 'wow you avoided telling me this?'
Rimwolf:
I took her reaction more as "I'm happy for you to the extent I can be happy about anything romantic, which isn't very at the moment."
Kugai:
Marten knows Faye so well.
ReindeerFlotilla:
Faye probably just forgot. I mean, she did just have a relationship crisis, and when she checked on the thing, Marten blocked with pancakes. It was, apparently, super effective.
Or she didn't believe Marten when he said one night stands weren't his speed. She's been willing to assume Marten might have wandering hands, despite him being, we'll, Marten. It wouldn't be out of character for her.
I am betting on forgot. Relationship melt down plus Marten brush off is a reasonable explanation.
