Kugai:
Dawwwwwwww
Huggleses
But I think Jeph could have moved them a bit closer together.
Half Empty Coffee Cup:
Huh. I stop checking the forum for two days and all that in the past four pages happens? Jeeze.
But hey, they made up! Whoo!
slydon:
Welp, that resolved itself quickly

Remember, part of what led to Tai and Dora ending up together was Tai wanting to be in a monogamous relationship. As far as we know, they don't have an open relationship, and to have Tai just looking for random smooches/hookups/whatever seems like a pretty big stretch.
--- End quote ---
To paraphrase Rick James "Ecstasy's a helluva drug". That, plus hurt feels due to the argument, plus Tai's immaturity, could lead her to do things in the heat of the moment that she wouldn't do otherwise, and would regret later.
ReindeerFlotilla:
Dora was also wrong. Tai's well intentioned wrong doesn't make Dora right any more than Tai's good intent makes her right. Mistakes were made. Probably more to follow, but meh.
In fact, I think Dora is still wrong. She's trying, to her credit. But her mistake wasn't in not opening up. It was making her defensiveness offensive. The best defense is a good offense, but not in a relationship. Feelings are hard, and people who aren't feeling our feelings tend to want us to get over them before we're ready.
In the long term, it would be better for anyone to be less defensive and more open, but Dora probably just needs to work on not responding to so many things with pike walls and boiling oil. That's a thing that goes both ways. Dora tends treat herself the same way, and as someone with enough self-loathing for any ten men, I can say that's not a good thing.
Tai, on the other hand... her issue seems to be what it's always been. She's not big on waiting for gratification. She can do it. But she doesn't always stop to think that now would be a good time to employ that skill.
All that said, if they both drew the best possible lessons from this, it'd be kinda unrealistic.
