ReindeerFlotilla:
A: I LOL'd
B: While it would be nice to have more rainbow farts and unicorns, I'm okay with Dora not having this figured out yet. She was the one with the love jones with Marten. It's symmetrical (with the old days when the "they look alike" thing was running fan gag) for her to be in the other seat.
C: Tai was doing the "I'm not trying to say anything racist" preamble. AKA the "No offense, but [something offensive]." Not to say she was being a bad human. Often being bluntly critical is rude as fuck. She was trying to speak her disagreement without being hurtful. She got so caught up in the reassurance, she didn't filter the content.
But that, and her final panel spit-take, suggests this is something she has been filtering, either unconsciously, or with intent. Early character statements aside, Dora is Tai's first steady in a long while. I'm pretty sure she isn't ready for this. And I don't mean in the idealized "ready for a relationship" manner. Just ready to have this conversation.
Dora certainly cares about Tai. It would be neat if Dora loves Tai. It's interesting, to me, that Dora, the control freak with the perfectionism streak, took a direct criticism and the most important thing she got from it was "I love you." That's either a very healthy sign or a very unhealthy one.
Which one it is can only be decided...

Comic time is slow, though.
Method of Madness:
Even in comic time, pretty much since she met her.
Deadcoder:
I like what Tai did there. She hid a grenade going off by setting off a nuke.
Carl-E:
Exactly. Dora's focused on the declaration rather than the argument containing it.
I'm wondering if Tai's reaction is to Dora's focused comment, or to the reaction she was expecting to the rest of her statement...
