--- Quote from: BenRG on 23 Apr 2019, 23:13 ---This is about Faye's condition colliding head-on with her desire to be there for Dora and her disinclination to make this about her (at least in her own mind). She doesn't want to spoil Dora's big day because of her 'weakness' and she doesn't want to distract Marten by giving him reason to worry about her. It's silly but I do think it's in character for Faye to want to avoid in any way drawing attention to her own needs in a situation like this.

Everything you say is absolutely true, and yet not one of those things makes what Faye said to Marten honest.

At what point was it supposed to be 'honest'? However it is also not a malicious act on Faye's part. So, really, there is nothing to debate because whether or not she is being honest isn't the issue here. The issue is her very real fear and confronting this challenge.
Tova:
I never said it was malicious, just that she was dishonest to Marten.
I'm getting a lot of disagreement on that point from people who apparently think there is nothing to debate. :psyduck:
cybersmurf:
twisting the truth to keep the moment of surprise is dishonest, too. Maybe Faye saw Marten was freaked out by the rest of the stuff already, and she didn't want to throw that on him, too, especially when she has someone else to go to. Maybe she thought she was capable at the time she said it, only to realise the truth on her way (back?) to work.
Cornelius:
Personally, I don't read it that way. The way Claire and Marten both look concerned as she's leaving, I read it as an excuse to get away.
