I can understand her not really caring about Marten’s personal angst. But she’s walking away with a look like she’s pleased with herself. A more common reaction to a situation like that would be to look embarrassed or sympathetic or annoyed. ---

> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > I took it the same way, **Bosstone**. She did her job. I don’t think it’s in her job description to sit around listening to random customers prattle on about their love/friendship lives. That’s what bartenders are for. On that note, check out this _Out There_ storyline that starts [here](http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20110411.html). (Actually, I highly recommend going back and reading that whole webcomic from the beginning. It’s one of the best ones out there, IMHO.) ---

A more common reaction to a situation like that would be to look embarrassed or sympathetic or annoyed. Padme’s question was answered - there wasn’t anything wrong with his coffee. She’s been shown to be completely oblivious to pretty much everything in the past. She’s also amazingly blunt - so ulterior motives are extremely unlikely. ---

Interesting that Jeph Jacques and Randy Milholland are doing simultaneous topless women strips (no pun intended). I wonder if it was co-ordinated or just a coincidence? ---

A star tattoo across her elbow? I can’t see how that’d be a good place to have one, though at least the design looks simple. It’d look scary with winter-weather skin though. :eek: (My elbows always get especially lizardy in winter.) ---

You know, I’m generally pro-tattoo, but I have yet to see one of those elbow-star things (usually a spiderweb) that looked good on anyone. Ever. I suppose I could have missed one in the midst of a full sleeve, but barring that . . . – Most people get more tattoos as they go along. Tai keeps losing hers. ---
