LTK, I would say Marten has seniority over the new members of the library team, but seniority isn't the same thing as responsibility. And while you're right in so far as that would be good for Marten to be prioritising working with them and looking after them, given his history with placing a very high priority on relationships and sex, its not exactly an unreasonable leap for Faye/Tai to make. Furthermore, from what we've seen of Tai/Marten's friendship/colleage relationship, I would have described working at the library as a pretty informal gig, so I think that you might be overplaying the role of responsability/seniority in this context.

I drink because I'm thirsty and I eat because I'm hungry.

Also, pizza, potatos, yoghurt, fruits and good old simple bread+butter+honey work great with orange juice for me.

I can think of maybe three times in 30 years my no-alcohol preference was remarked on in a social setting: A high school classmate who'd smuggled his nickel-a-can horse piss along on the senior class trip; a snarky waitress in what Cleveland, Ohio thought of as a comedy club, and a genuinely nice guy at a house party who just couldn't wrap his head around the fact that I, another guy, didn't want a beer (he ended up giving the proffered beer to his wife, who drank it and, being a tiny person, fell asleep on one end of the couch and missed the party. My friends and I are not hearty partiers.)

I don't order OJ in restaurants; they want an arm and a leg for it. But I do love the blood of murdered oranges. As earlier indicated, it is a much better pick-me-up than the crushed and boiled bean.

Or the highly carbonated high-fructose corn syrup.

I see what you mean, but it seems logical to me because Marten recently gained a newfound respect for his admittedly rather informal job, which might also lead to him feeling more of a sense of responsibility towards the interns, who clearly have a greater motivation to pursue a career in library science, something he can facilitate. (Looong sentence) But when I look back at the strips he shows none of those feelings whatsoever, so maybe he's just huffy for no reason.
