WCDT: 2796-2800 (22-26 September 2014) Weekly Comic Discussion Thread
Aimless:
I'm in the "Marten is too Marten to let himself or others know what he wants" camp. The only questions I have are: what will he admit to? and how will he mess it up? :o
*cynic*

That's how I interpreted it too. He's drunk, he's doing what feels good without thinking about it, and eventually he'll realize that the reason it feels good is that he's developing feelings for Claire. (Once he realizes it, he'll probably get a good deal more awkward and possibly freak out about the ethics of dating an intern.)
Edit: PS. Regarding Emily, Marten didn't seem at all attracted to her (his reaction to the idea of her having a crush on him was more or less "oh s***, I hope not"), so it's not like there's really some "choice" for him to make between Emily and Claire. I don't think that in all his discussion of Emily kissing his cheek, he ever once alluded to any possibility that he might even maybe want it to lead to something.

Registered a while ago to read some discussion, but hey, maybe I'll finally post in the glorious attempt to hit 15 pages.
Holy crap, I had not realized just how much I was rooting for this to happen! I see so damn much of myself in Claire as a fellow anxious, medicated trans woman who moved to a new part of the world where no one knows my medical history... So yeah, I have a little bit of myself invested in her story. I've been reading QC for years and years, but in the last several months I find myself clicking and subconsciously hoping that Claire's (and her pun-face) in the comic.
I think Platypodes is spot on with everything they said, the "intern ethics" thing is surely going to come up one way or another, but I'm hoping against all hope that at least this night ends well.
Quack.

Easy enough way around that. Remove Marten from the chain of command, and make $intern whose ship has sailed Momo's responsibility. That way, it'd just be like dating someone you work with.

Or from lurkers to slightly-less-lurky lurkers
