I really think you've got something there. :-D
As for Claire's expressions, I honestly believe that Claire has no interest in being anything to Marten but his friend. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so mortified by the cuddling incident, worrying that Marten might think she was interested in him because of it.
So here's my take on her expressions by panel:
* Panel 2: Looks like an "Uh-oh" to me. Something like "Uh-oh, what are you up to now?", or maybe "Uh-oh, you're not going to suggest ME for Marten, are you??"
* Panel 3: Pretty much the same as panel 2, with perhaps a smidgen of curiosity added.
* Panel 4: Trying very hard not to laugh at Emily. The "Pffffffff" sound effect definitely seems like imperfectly suppressed laughter to me. I imagine it sounding exactly as if you started to open a 2-liter bottle of soda that had just been shaken hard, and you're trying to clamp down on it and screw the lid back down before it completely explodes.

Not for an instant do I think that's what happened.

That would be... hmmmm.... maybe she just wants us to think she's totally out of it, but is in fact in complete control of the situation, picking and choosing her words and behaviors to maximize her personal amusement and the confusion of others. Which would in fact make her the God Queen of Troll Kind.
RedWolf4:
I just read the comic, and now my ribs need a transplant.
Also, the idea that Emily is some sort of troll evil mastermind is. . . scarily possible. And awesome.
Carl-E:
I tend to think she's one of those child geniuses, finishing college at 12 and starting to study Library Science.
A very tall 12.

That could have been taken many ways. She could very well not like him. Could like him but not want to let on. Could like him, but still not want to send a signal she didn't send herself. Or the obvious, regardless of liking him, was afraid he'd be freaked out by the trans thing.
