right now, Marten would agree to just about anything that means he doesn't have to come back into the same room with the big scary metal lady.

I don't think she's nervous about commenting because it's Faye's butt in particular, she's just never commented about anyone's butt before and she's not sure how to without causing offense.
BenRG:
After thinking for a few minutes, the thing that I realise that struck me the most about the fourth panel is how natural it all seems - three ladies interacting together and teasing each other. You could see it happen anywhere. The fact that the said three ladies come from the most different and unusual background as you could imagine simply doesn't come into it. They're just friends and that is something that Bubbles needs and deserves; I'm glad that she's found it.
As a side note, based on Claire's reaction to the butt reference, I'm wondering how many times she and Faye have talked about body image and the best way to compensate that has turned into a competition in being outrageous around poor, innocent Marten.

The subject does startle her but you have to admit that it's probably significant that she doesn't quite know what to say. Early-model Bubbles would say: "I have no criteria for judging posteriors" or something like that; this one actually babbles nervously. The thing that strikes me is that there is this noticeable attraction there but that neither of them seem to really be fully aware of what their ease with each other might mean.
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that Jeph is confirming that Bubbles finds Faye physically attractive.
NyxDarkness:
I just want to say that I support the direction that the relationship between Faye and Bubbles seems to be moving, and I do hope that it will progress further. :-D

For those who might be worried about this remark in light of the forum's official stance on shipping, let me say that I think that this passes the test in that it's a straightforward and arguably justified comment on what's actually shown in the comic. It may be wrong, as currently it's basically interpretation, but it is not arbitrary or unjustified.
