If this strip is currently synchronised with Ma3, I assume that Amber is waiting for Gary to sort out his situation with Yuki before he comes back to her. She may be optimistic about the prospects there, but she might assume that it may take a few days, so if she finds that she evidently has time to kill - well, might as well plan for the worst case. It's not like what she feels for Gary is any kind of deep exclusive romantic passion.Icono wrote:Oh, come on. Let Gary have Amber for crying out loud.
In fact, the delay before they meet again will depend (a) how long Sonya chooses to keep Gary in bed, one way or another, (b) how much Gary is waylaid by DiDi or maybe Senna, and (c) whether Gary does something weird like trying to take some time out to think about things. But Amber wouldn't know any of that.
And if this strip is set a little later in some kind of timeline, Amber may actually have seen Gary, and maybe even got him into bed once or twice, but also discovered that things have got complicated there, with competition for his attention. She may reckon that she can put up a good fight there herself, but in the meantime, might as well check out the fallback positions (fnah fnah). Eminently practical girl, Amber.
