I'm really happy Tai is coming. Tai is really good to have around in times like these.
Remember her tummy butterflies around Dora before they started dating? Yep, she's been there. And she knows what to do.
Tova:
So, if they have an operation code for this situation, then the specific situation I assume they prepared for is one where the penny has dropped, one or both of them has freaked out, and they are now each on their own trying to work out what to do next.
So it would make sense to me that Tai's implicit mission here will be to find Faye, reassure her, and bring her to the shop. Whereas Dora will be able to reassure Bubbles in turn that all will be well.
In case you were wondering - no, Monday's comic has not yet dropped on Patreon.
Is it cold in here?:
I wonder about this. One of the ingredients of compatibility for human/human relationships is having similar backgrounds. Shared experiences and being from the same socio-economic class help no end. Love conquers all only occasionally.
It is easiest for people who have been in the service to relate to other veterans.
Bubbles as far as we know never had a childhood. There's one enormous difference in backgrounds right there.
Faye is not a veteran.
I hope they are one of the Love Conquers All situations.

I think it's clear from their previous discussions of deep emotional crap that they understand and relate to each other just fine. Faye talks about the day she couldn't remember her dad's voice, Bubbles talks about the faces of the other soldiers fading from her memory.
People don't need to have every last thing in common to be together.

Pretty much the only background factor they share is that they have both experienced terrible loss, and did not handle it in the best way.
That is not the best thing for two people to have in common. It makes it much harder for them to fully rely on anyone, and that can put strain on any relationship, but especially on a romantic one.
They have both made stellar progress in trusting each other, but they are presently staring down a HUGE step in their friendship.
