And once again, regrets are a bitch.
Hm... I realise now there hasn't been any talk at all about what Marten might want out of this as there was with Faye and Dora at some point. We (as readers) are as uncertain about what he is feeling right now as he must be. Poor guy.
Knowing thy self is hard, hard, hard work.

I'm not sure this is a booty dance situation.
Did Faye ever have a booty dance when she hooked up with Sven? Or even Angus?
I think Marten just realized how fleeting the situation with Padma actually is, and while on the whole he's glad it happened, the can is open and there are worms all over the place.
He doesn't really know if he has feelings for Padma, or whether he even wants to. If he does what should he do about it? Does he want to try an LDR arrangement? What are her feelings? Should they try to pack in as much time together as possible before she leaves? Would that make things harder? How would Dora feel about the situation? Or Faye? Or Hanners?
And then there is Elliot to consider.
The list goes.
Marten just realized he's got a whole heap of problems he didn't have yesterday, and he's walking away from the one person who can both make them better now and help him work through them in the future.

I was sort of expecting Marten to sulk but.. come on. Too soon!

"Woo, I'm the man! Sexy times..."
"...with Padma..."
"...who's leaving in a few weeks..."
"...and now I'm in love. Shit."

I don't think it's "I'm in love" so much as "I have something going in my life again," but otherwise, exactamundo.
And don't ask why my brian spat out that word right now. Wait, I do know: it's that Richie Cunningham strut Marten is doing before the brick hits. I can almost hear "I've found mah thrill…" Then random crashing sounds, or maybe a needle scrape.
edit: Brain, not Brian. Damn you, Scott Story!

L'esprit de l'escalier ... one of those situations where I'd like to kick Marten in the kneecaps until he crawls back and TALKS TO PADMA about this. God-damnit. A one night stand doesn't mean you have to be an emotional magician and be a cold-blooded vampire afterwards. Our brain automatically associates sex with emotions, so just accept it. ><
