Thursday also agrees with what Tues said. The Kiki, Olebelle, and Ozzid play-date is perfectly fine and safe. Zoe and Gwynn on a trip to who-knows-where is merely...troubling. While leaving Torg and Aylee alone with cupcakes, sounds apocalypticly catastrophic. ---- Vote for Sluggy Freelance at Top Web Comics. Remember to vote for what cupcakes you like.

Torg is one of the character I like the most and there are very few times, if any, where I would ever fault him, but here, somehow, he sounds a bit too much condescending for my liking even if what he is saying is not wrong.
Can't really put it in any better way than that, but it feels like he is helicopter-parenting Aylee, when their dynamic was usually more on an equal footing (even when he was technically his boss)

Gwynn can't be that bad. She's great with forks y'know. :)

Poor Ozzid. He is just over there quietly staying of the way, playing the game all by himself. Hopefully he will enjoy being able to use the badminton net. I can't see there being a lot of room. And hopefully Kiki doesn't mess up the runes by running through them. I feel like maybe Gwynn could have made the circle bigger.
And I think it is cool that Torg knows how to bake, and is showing Aylee. Yeah, he is a little cocky about it, but I think he is doing well with Aylee otherwise He has always had a fondness for her.

Can't really put it in any better way than that, but it feels like he is helicopter-parenting Aylee, when their dynamic was usually more on an equal footing (even when he was technically his boos) I initially got the impression at first too, and I think it was with the line from Aylee "I got lots of help before," but on reread I think it was just because the line is a bit ambiguous. I was reading it at first as Aylee saying "I've had help baking before, so I don't need more" - which makes Torg's next line sound like he's forcing advice on her. But in context, she's actually expressing surprise at how her baking it good now when it wasn't before, so it was actually more like "I had help before, and my baking was still terrible," which is why Torg responds the way he does.

You might be right.
