Seriously, I think that Hannelore needs some help and support. One of her few human friends has just nearly drunk herself to death, been fired and is clearly in a bad place, emotionally. On top of her very clear pain at Faye no longer being a daily part of her working life, Hannelore has had to deal with said friend's peevish moods and general unhappiness for the past day whilst Marten was at work. She did a good job but it would be understandable if she needed some help herself after having to support Faye and help her keep focussed all day.
So, yeah, she went to her one friend who was likely not directly affected by this drama to vent and maybe get some emotional support. Unfortunately, Marigold isn't good at that... in fact she stinks at that.
anahata:
It never occurred to me that was a cry for help from Hanners. But Marigold would the the last person to recognise that or to know what to do about it.
Where's Momo with her social protocol database to spell it out in words of one syllable for her?
(at work, I suppose)
CM_albion:
Yea, i can sympathize with Hannelore's position here.
my partner is a great girl, creative, kind, but my god she cannot empathize to save her life. example in case, i was on the train to see her, the station i was due to arrive at was closed, i text to say i'll be delayed. 2 hours later i am still trying to get through london, i text her appologizing for the lateness and bemoaning the travel situation. all i get back is a next from her complaining that a shirt she got for Christmas doesn't fit right.
i'm trying to make her more aware of the fact without seeming pushy or demanding.

another way to look at that is that she didn't mind you being late, and if she's familiar with London, (not just London really, the whole of the uk has bad public transport), and it's transport issues she probably wasn't even surprised that you were going to be late.

And in the process, you've just displayed why relationships fail; it's because people don't open themselves up and keep things secret, which in turn, causes miscommunication......like what just happened with Tai & Dora.
