Panel 1 - Full-width
Sleeping MARTEN and CLAIRE (with MARTEN as the big spoon); both are smiling
Panel 2 - Full-width
Sleeping FAYE with BUBBLES (n recharge mode) sitting beside her bed. BUBBLES' hand is reaching up to hold FAYE's hand.
Panel 3 - Full-width
CLINTON and BRUN in bed, facing, wide-eyed, with the sheets pulled up to their armpits and very obviously naked and somewhat tangled together; the absence of drunk bubbles indicating the degree to which realisation sobered them
((First pair of speech bubbles at top of panel))
CLINTON: "So."
BRUN: "So."
((Second set of speech bubbles at bottom of panel))
CLINTON: "Was this a mistake?"
BRUN: "... I don't know."

Hence the very next sentence in my post, in which I specifically call out what I feel distinguishes her from Faye: Faye has heart and dishes out the snark in a way that clearly shows the underlying affection, even in as simple a way as smiling her snarky smile while doing it (Has Renee ever actually smiled? Probably, but I do find it telling that I find it hard to picture it. Oh, wait, never mind, I just found an example - when she gleefully wants to knowingly dish out second-hand info to Claire about the Marten/Padma situation ...); I'd actually argue Faye's snark is a major way in which she expresses affection towards her friends, and it shows.
Consider, in contrast, Renee in yesterday's comic: Her entire comment in the last panel revolves around herself and how she doesn't want to have to listen to Elliot's worries; she shows absolutely no sympathy towards his obvious insecurities - on the contrary, she outright belittles them. I propose that had it indeed been Faye in that position, she would have called out Elliot's bullshit, pointing out how he doesn't actually know anything about Clinton, how his impression of him is actually fuelled more so by his own insecurities, and how he is a great guy with great qualities whom Brun already likes. Of course she'd be snarky about it, but it'd be constructive, showing that she actually cares; Renee is simply complaining and doesn't seem to care at all. (Though I suspect she actually does - she is just utterly terrible at interpersonal relationships.)

They're practically pure sugar, how can they not be candy?
Edit: What would you classify them as, then?
--- End quote ---
Well, I had never thought of it. I guess a baking item, but I think I'll start using confectionary.

--- Quote from: War Sparrow on 26 Jun 2017, 20:33 ---Because that's how candy is made, essentially. You boil sugar and water until it reaches soft crack (like a caramel, sugar is pliable), or hard crack (like a lollipop, sugar is hard and do NOT make fun sugar spikes with it because they will cut you and it will bleed and hurt)
I don't consider marshmallows candy. I just realized that. And I want to make some with actual marsh mallow. Hook me up, Brits!

(They also come chocolate coated... If that doesn't meet the US definition of *candy* then I dunno what does!)
In a nutshell.... marshmallows are sweeties!!!
