Keep in mind that Vincent is totally out and proud. He doesn't actually care if Aiken knows he's trans. So he's not really trying to prevent Aiken from finding out; he's just having a little fun. In real life, when I meet new people who don't know me, I too have been known to humorously foreshadow to my being trans before I actually come out. It helps gauge reactions while simultaneously making it less "sudden and out of nowhere" when I invariably do come out. In my experience, people tend to respond pretty positively to it. Vincent and Aiken technically do vaguely know each other, but I figure the same rules could apply given that it's been a while.
Anyway, it seems like Aiken might have caught on, but the entire conversation is derailed by Rain approaching, and Fara declaring they're leaving. But what are the odds they can actually leave without a confrontation with Kellen?
(Also, I know there's been a bit of drama going on lately in my life, but let's keep comments here relevant to the page, okay? Thanks!) ^_^
I can just see the lightbulb going off with Aiken just before Rain shows up, and I find that quite humorous.
Anyway, if Fara isn't going to confront Kellen, Aiken most certainly will, and he's got his own reasons to be very pissed off at her-she did, after all, make a promise that she proceeded to break that night.
The no-nose style has drawbacks. Rain looks like Voldemort in the last panel. And IMO Fara would look a bit less creepy with a bit of nose in the penultimate panel. What works on a small background figure looks worse in a full panel closeup.
Actually I see it as 50/50 chance of getting out with out confronting Kellen. I don't think Fara is going to start it because a renewed confrontation what best for Rain right now. Kellen and Aiken, well if there is too much of a dust up Aiken will be in a bit of a bind, he IS crashing her couch right now! Might force the guy to go back to the placed he was shareing with Jessica.
At first glance, I thought Rain and Emily were holding hands in the 5th panel, but alas they aren't. :( I'm excited to see both of them continue to support each other in their difficult situations.
Aaaaaand I'm caught up. WHEE!
What a place to get caught at, Kellen igniting my "stay burn" coals, the drama of reviewers, the new hair cut... seems perfectly timely.
You wouldn't dream of bringing kellen out right about now... no, you need that to stew... good, very good...

But don't you see, its so much stronger if Fara can't do it yet.
If Kellen shows up and is still against Rain being Rain, Rain should ignore her. There's no point arguing with her, is it?
