"Yes, let's do talk about the man we both screwed over to get to this point. Me by being super insecure and neurotic through the whole relationship and now seeming to be over it all in just a matter of days. And you, his boss, who claimed to be a his friend but constantly harassed him about whether we were broken up, and once we were didn't even play it all off as jokes but rather JUMPED at the opportunity to hook up with me as SOON AS YOU WERE TOLD. Yep. his first real relationship in some time and I'm over it, but he's totally cool with us together, and aren't we just so cute in our quirky ways? We're totally not being dicks or anything." ~ Dora.

Calm down. It has been at least a month or two QC time...
Now, did I like seeing Tai's "not even bother to hide it" I wanna bone your girlfriend moments? Nope. Not particularly. That's what has pretty always rubbed me the wrong way about her. Even joking about it, which she wasn't, isn't cool. She made no secret about what she wanted and I guess, if you took it to the extreme, she did jump on Dora as soon as it was pretty much over with Marten. That's just poor planning on her part.
But be real. Marten and Dora are both pretty much over it. Does it suck it didn't work with Marten? Yea. But QC isn't exactly or hasn't been a mainstay for solid relationships. At least, between characters routinely in the story. Marten/Dora is over though. Both are over it. Get over it.
And no, I don't particularly see this out of left field romantic attraction for Dora all of a sudden and I've and others, have beaten that story to death ad nauseam.
However. It remains quite awkward for them both to be talking about Marten. Once again, this arc just feels weird.
But again. Dora/Marten are over. They aren't being dicks. They are just incredibly strange around each other.
Is it cold in here?:
In reality, Tai respected the relationship.
I hope Tai is not just a rebound.
ink slinger:
Geez, that's a surprising amount of talk about the ex on the first date! Of course, they're all a part of the same social group, so I guess it would almost be weirder if Marten's name didn't come up at least once or twice. (But only almost.)
Is it cold in here?:
The Principle of Maximum Awkwardness would require it anyway.
Dr. ROFLPWN:
A question for the archive-savvy: has any first date in QC ever gone well? I seem to recall Angus and Faye's first date having awkwardness all around, too.
I think mentioning Marten, especially casually and not obsessively, is actually good: they acknowledge the relationship without stressing over it. If it keeps coming up, weird, but this is pretty innocent.
