Now that I'm thinking about it - Faye is way nicer than I would have thought, after coming out of the hospital. The only time where she kind of snapped at somebody was at Hanners, after the exaggerated reaction to her refusing to ask for her job back.
Otherwise - she was nice to Marten (even thanked him!), and opens up to Claire immediately. Kind of bothers me, since Faye didn' t open up to her best friends (Marten... Hanners.. before that happened, Dora) and now it's all puppies and sunshine and easy?

Most people are pretty nice after they realize they put their friends through a lot.



And no Omega, you can't eat your higher power! Unless it's big enough to last for a really long time. And you have enough for everyone. Did you bring enough for the rest of the class?

swapna:
Yeah, that explains Marten (not Hanners), but certainly not Claire - what 'relationship' have those two? Claire insulted Faye once, Faye threatened her with violence, Faye encouraged her to go out with Marten... that's not the kind of friendship she has with Hanners. I would have liked her to open up to Hanners or Marten, since, yeah, we need the exposition to know where it's going, but Claire's the wrong person.

I think that today's strip actually makes it very clear that Faye is trying to turn over a new leaf and be a different and, perhaps, better person (at least by her view on the subject). For that reason, I expect her to be very overtly and unsubtly OOC at some occasions with a suitably shocked reaction from everyone else. It's the usual over-reaction you would expect from someone who has just been through a life-changing and mostly self-inflicted trauma the way Faye has.

As for her response to Claire? Claire is Marten's new girlfriend and she doesn't want to be rude and ruin things for him by scaring her off. This isn't like Dora, with whom she had a pre-existing friendship and who understood her quirks. She knows that she needs to tread carefully with Claire for Marten's sake. FWIW, I suspect that Claire may shock her with just what a good friend she can be if she's given a chance.

Lubricus:
Sometimes it is easier to open up to someone who's not super close. I get the feeling that's what happening between Faye and Claire.
