Yeah, it looks like he was seriously trying to start over with Able... of course, Dan's method of starting over apparently involved backing him into a corner until he exploded. And spiders. Go Dan...

Well in Dan's defense, Abel did hit him with a baseball bat earlier. So he probably figured doing crazy pranks like that was the norm, kind of like a fraternity initiation or something.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Dan is the only guilty party there. :P He could be a perfect saint and Able would find a way to brush it off. Actually, I think he did just that. (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_754.php)

Yeah.  Looks like Fi, combined with his attention span could help him get over that :P

Interesting that he's more upset about making Abel angry than learning that Destania was (probably?) everything that is bad about 'Cubi.

Methinks that Dan may have already read that book anyways. he might've just wanted Abel's point of view on all things Destania, given that Abel's opinion of Dee flies in the face of Aary's.
It's also interesting to note that Dan's acting more mature than Abel right now.

with all the calamities in Dan's life maturity and immaturity go hand in hand.  Somehow Dan knows the perfect opportunity and blend of the two to help things go a tad more smoothly.

Dan's smarter than he lets on, he takes the Biggs (and sometimes the Fae) approach in life, "let your enemies think your a complete fool but in reality your a smart and intelligent individual who has plans for grander things."

Able he's been around ADHD cubi for around 300 years or so, it's no surprise that he has yet to properly mature.
Dan, he's been around Fae, mortals, traveled the country side and fought for his life for the past few years of his life, he's also experiencing a beginning life crisis.  Taking all that into consideration and his personality he's handling things quite well.  Some other individuals would have gone mad if they were to live his life.  Dan's quite mature and a very intelligent individual but he loves to have fun (thank Mab for showing him the Fae aspect of life).

BUT

It would be fun to see Mab 'convince' Dan and Able to play nice.

True.  I still think he did it to catch Abel off-guard so he could ask about Destania, though.

Brownies and cookies bring everyone together.  Be it in friendship or in fear.

Though somehow after his chat with Jyrras, Dan has opened up more with Able.  Remember what Jyrras said,  Dan, everyone hits you with a bat sooner or later? (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_748.php), he didn't say that exactly...

I think Dan is starting to see Able as more of a friend, Dan's getting Able with his childish acts and taking the punishment for it.

I think that Dan is also starting to discover that some of his fears about Abel's motives are groundless.  Both Jyrras (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_749.php) and Matilda (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_651.php) have pointed out that Abel is a little too quick to assume evil intentions.  Now, things are going the other way, with Dan trying to show Abel that some of his fears are groundless.

You're sure this is Fi?  All the Warp-Aci look alike to me.

On a more somber note, I think Dan should rush off to Abel and apologize for bringing it up, and explain he was trying to start over.  Then ask for just a clean slate.  Abel's a good guy, that should be enough, though he'll probably be suspicious at first.

Post by: Naldru on August 30, 2007, 02:51:20 PM
Another possible approach for Dan would be:

"I'm sorry I've upset you.  Mom, Aaryanna, and you are the only cubi I've met for more than a few hours, and I'm not sure if I should use Aaryanna as a role model.  I have no idea what I'm going to do for the next few hundred years.  I have trouble thinking ahead to lunch."

Express regrets rather than offer an apology.  If Dan was trying to get Abel involved by asking questions, ask another question.  Perhaps ask what question he should ask.

I think amber was making a pac-man joke earlier.

See my avatar? Is that a face that says "I care"? Or is it a face that says "Heeeeey..."?

      Maybe I just didn't notice it before, but it looks like there's a lot of texture in the shirt Dan's wearing.  Neat!  Textures can be really hard to do, based on what I've been told by artist-friends.

      Also, the eye reaction of Dan was almost 'Mab-like' if I recall correctly.  Also neato!
