Miranda: . . . And then he acts like he deserves to meet you! As if I would introduce a boyfriend to him. Not for a million dollars. He still seems to buy the “boyfriend” story, too — I mean, he’s not acting like he’s suspicious about anything.
I was wondering whether I should tell some of my friends the truth, though . . . Even though I won’t be seeing them much once the semester starts. Because what if they guess, based on how I treat you, and then don’t realize it was supposed to be a secret?
Poe: They haven’t guessed so far. They seem to assume it’s just you being bossy — and that I’m into it.
Miranda: What? Did one of them say I was bossy?
Poe: I’m sure she meant it in an affectionate way . . .
Patrick: You can get a little strident sometimes.
Miranda: Eh?
. . . Who the hell are you?
Patrick: *puppy dog eyes*
Miranda: OH! You made it! ♥ Sit down, sit down. ♥
“You can get a little strident sometimes” Aw. Poe trying to reign her in just a little but in an affectionate manner is kind of sweet.
Pretty sure that’s Patrick saying that, not Poe…
Oops! You’re right, I misread the panel
I misread it too. :p Maybe Erin should have put the text in green?
Just had a thought. What if beings are a high? I mean, emotional responses are basically a natural high when related to someone you’re attracted to, and beings are apparently the masters perfect partner or whatever, right? What if this is some kinda mechanism to ensure that the contract lasts as long as possible?
Also, Erin, of Timothy is a member of an order in the Catholic Church, where are his fellow religious?
Now I’m wondering if Patrick will call her “strident” or “bossy” too.
Strike that and make it Poe. If everyone is targeting the same aspect of your personality, you can be sure it’s there.
