I was looking at panel 2 again and thinking about how Faye was stating everything in questions and not looking at Marten as if she was afraid of Marten's disapproval in some way. The implication is: "Are these the right things for me to say?" Then you get Marten's approval and, in panel 3, she's smiling in relief. It's quite beautiful in a way.
I really do think that Faye is a messed-up kid and I really do think that she has serious problems with believing that others approve of her choices (or of her in general).

Bubbles is definitely wearing Faye’s shirt, but I don’t know how it could fit unless she mistakenly ordered a 3X by mistake and never returned it.

Unstable molecules.

I read her as giving her statement a little sarcastically interrogative uplift, as if to say "Uh, obviously?" Of course this reading brings me to a similar place to yours. She's anxious and defensive, and she wants his approval.
I agree with what you said about her being messed up. I suspect that her primary challenge in the relationship will be overcoming her fears: that people will leave her, and that she is somehow responsible for them leaving. After Angus, that last one must loom large. She's going to have to reckon with it.

Oh wow, Hornetroid! I vividly remember the feeing of playing with that one. As a concept, it was amazing. As far as playing with it, though, I felt a big letdown, since all you could do with it was flap the wings and squirt water.
Zelia:
Bubbles is looking very cute in Faye's shirt. I suppose it's her shirt now, because that stretch isn't coming out.
