Okay, so he does know her pretty well.

Gil has his heart set on Agatha, but he seems very taken with Trelawney Thorpe. So, for that matter, does Ardsley Wooster. (My money's on Wooster/Thorpe.)

It would be amusing if, after all the "Will Agatha choose Gil? Will Agatha choose Tarvek?" angst among fans, Gil married Trelawney Thorpe and Tarvek married Ruxala.

I wonder who Miss Baumhund and The Assistant will pair up with?

If Ivo Sharktooth has any bearing on the matter, The Assistant is Vanamonde von Mechkan's wife.

It even is suggested in the comic.

When did Ivo say that?

The linked page (notable for the phrase "snotulous child") implies that both Vanamonde and the Assistant grew up in Mechanicsburg, but I don't see more than that. I thought it was fairly clear that she was Van's wife, fiancee, or sister; at one point she undressed him for bed.

I'd love to pin down their relationship!

It's nothing Ivo said, it's the circumstances that Vanamonde and the Assistant are presented. And she can't be his sister as Van seems to be an only child at the time of his father's death and his mother did not appear to remarry.

It's my take on the relationship. The presence of some random child in that situation is rather odd, don't you think? She is the child of some one in that room (Occam's Razor).

Maybe with each other?
