Also, this strip shoots down two ships, one of which I was not on board with (for the same reasons as Marten portrays in this strip), one of which I was.

He brings up the intern thing a lot. I think it'd hold more water if the interns weren't pretty much unofficially higher up the totem pole then he is. Marten does not wield the power in the library. He can't coerce interns to sleep with him and they can't try and get special treatment dating him. There's no real ethical conflict there.

So each time he says it it does feel more like backing down on Claire or sinking the ship or whatever than a legitimate thing, even if that isn't the case.

If only Marten had a snake* to eat the mice.

*no, not that kind, you preverts.  :roll:

Janet_Yellens_yellin:
I think one important thing to notice here is that Marten gave reasons why he shouldn't be interested but never actually said that he wasn't, perhaps even redirecting the conversation when Hannelore brings it up. I'm not sure I see how "but imagine what she would be like if she had a crush on me" is a direct response to Hannelore's suggestion that he just tell Emily (or Hannelore? I was pretty sure it's meant to refer to Emily, but it could also be read as Hannelore) that he's not interested in Emily.

Nyithra:
I suspect that Marten does like her, but isn't quite sure how to feel about it. And I'm not sure how to feel about this coupling either. I don't mind Emily but it seems like an odd match.

Really?

He sounds indiferent to me.  I mean, if I really liked a girl, the last thing I would think was "oh shit, well she's an intern so I guess I can't date her.  Oh well!"  I'd think, "just another obstacle...I WILL make this work".

But that's me, and not Marten, so yeah.
