Well, Faye just fibbed a little. She wasn't all set to talk about things after talking to Marten. She wanted to pretend "nothin's up, just a normal-ass day" So she could give herself some time to think.
So there are still insecurities she needs to work out.

--- Quote from: Undrneath on 22 May 2018, 16:30 ---If I remember correctly the specific gravity of the individual components also plays a part since we as humans have a specific gravity almost identical to water we float. If the composite specific gravity of AI chassis is just a little bit higher they might sink a little bit.

Specific gravity is defined as the density of an object relative to the density of a reference fluid (usually water).
Since density is the mass of an object per unit of volume, specific gravity is still mass dependent. Individuals with minimal body fat have a higher specific gravity because they're physically denser than those with higher body fat (muscle is significantly more dense than fat).
Long story short, still mass dependent. If Momo were a human with the established body type and dimensions, she would float. If she sinks, she has to posses a higher mass.

But the difference wouldn't necessarily be enough that the average person would think much more than the other person is slightly heavy for their size. Nowhere near enough that Bubbles couldn't seem almost the same as a comparably sized human.

That's fair, although after making that plan she then found bubbles gone and started panic-running across town to find her. It's possible that doing that convinced her that nothing about this was "Normal-ass" and she then decided to talk things out. Then they got back to the shop and things... went in a different direction.
It means Faye stops short of being dishonest here, although it was off-screen so head-canon at best.

Right riiiiight, she totally lied! Oh no, this isn't setting a good precedent! Fay-yye!! How could you?
RyanW1019:
I think it was more "Faye realizes there is something there, she needs time to sort it out in her head but will then sit down with Bubs to talk it out" than "Faye is lying because she didn't immediately try to jump to The Talk when she got back".
