I love that look too. It's the "scope room" interaction, which just seems like something that Ripp would really do, with a big dirty smile on his face.
Totally. Ripp doesn't get it, since he's so naturally fearless like that, and it can be hard for Tank to explain it to him. He's shy, and that's all there is to it. But Ripp thinks that he can explain it away for Tank. What he's saying is right. Nothing terrible will happen if Tank just does it, but he needs to be able to get up the nerve to do it, which is hard.
Kendal totally shot Ripp down, which is appropriate, given that she is setting her sights on Tank instead. She obviously regrets her previous mistake of falling for Ripp's advances, which messed up her chances with Tank back then. She won't go there again.
And yes, it is Kendal Lawson from the neighboorhood. She found her way into the story on her own, since she showed up with Ripp on the bus, and then took a fancy to Tank (they have double bolts). She ended up being his first kiss, and earned herself a place in the story that would have previously been filled by another Strangetown woman (but I have moved around some of those plans).
When I aged Kendal up, I noticed that she has a gold talent badge in robotics, and this was the real deciding factor for me. I had a storyline for her instantly, based on that one detail, and I think that it will be a good one, when I get around to it.
Heheh. Tank really does look like he's be sick. At least he didn't see anything too detailed...
It was good to see Frances stand up to Ripp, and Ripp really needed to hear that. He was being a major dick about it, and Frances will make life much easier for himself by setting him straight. Frances is pretty shy, but he won't be walked over.
