She's certainly trying my patience! Doohohohoho!
And apparently I have turned into Waldorf and Statler

To be fair this is one of the times where she's actually not doing anything irritating.

I noticed that too, but as long as they keep AI speech bubbles in squares instead of bubbles I'm fine with it.
BenRG:
Another of the mysteries of the world that Brun doesn't really 'get'. Society insists that telling untruth is wrong. Then it suddenly informs you that this rule is conditional and that you should actually act in a way that is effectively a lie if the truth will 'hurt' someone.
I do like how Jeph is characterising Brun. In many ways, she's trying to feel her way through an entirely unfamiliar environment and set of experiences. I also wonder if she has learned to distrust her impressions of other people unless she can get independent verification just because she has such problems reading body language and other non-verbal cues (and sometimes, even verbal statements can be deceptive for her).
Finally, is Renee's last sentence in panel 4 a typo or sarcasm? Shouldn't it be: "I'm really not a good friend."?

I read it as sarcasm, and perhaps ill advised with Brun who tends to take things literally.
oddtail:
I'm struggling to understand Brun's thought process in assuming that a big person would be afraid of fewer things.
In my experience, most things in the modern Western world that one might be afraid of have diddly-squat to do with how strong or physically capable one is. Heck, that even includes many physical threats. And why would someone bigger be less afraid of Brun specifically? Does she think of herself as a source of immediate physical danger?
