Kugai:
Bubbles does have a point, but so does Faye in wanting to 'Strike while the Iron is hot'.

I think that they will sort through this,but I can see it being Friday before they actually sit down and talk it through.

--- Quote from: Milayna on 09 Apr 2017, 21:56 ---If Bubbles is doing stuff to move forward that Faye doesn't know, that's one thing. If she's doing things that readers don't know, that's another. Since I haven't seen her do any leadership stuff, and this is a work of fantasy and conservation of detail applies, I have to assume that she hasn't done any leader stuff.

Near Lurker:
Correct response, Faye: "well, I mean, it's not signed yet."

Though I guess it's not surprising Bubbles would be hyperaware of power dynamics.

Akima:

--- End quote ---
She did not take it yet, you mean. Bubbles was plainly upset, and went out to cool her temper. That hardly amounts to giving up, once and for all, the opportunity to object on other grounds once she has calmed down.

--- Quote ---Now leader stuff is a skill, mostly for outgoing people, and Bubbles is not.
--- End quote ---
Perhaps, but between a leader, and the led, there is no equality. Bubbles has objected to Faye's unilateral decision-making before. Faye apologised then, but went ahead and displayed the same behaviour again, ignoring Bubbles's sensitivities on the subject. Faye and Bubbles need to work out what sort of working relationship they're going to have, and whether Bubbles is to be an equal, or a subordinate.

BenRG:
The point here isn't that Bubbles disgrees with Faye's decision. She'd just liked to have heard about it before the deal is done.

In Faye's defence, since when has she ever been in an equal partnership where she needs to consider someone else's position and input? That wasn't even remotely the case during her relationship with Angus. Frankly, this is a mind-set that she is going to need to learn.

In Bubbles' defence, she's been the accoutrement to another being's business before and that didn't really end well for anyone. I can quite understand her unwillingness to let it happen again.

In Marten's defence...? Well, seriously, can anyone blame him at this point if he's tired of being the referee in his friends' relationship troubles?
