Hey! Gingers have souls...!!!
Lots and lots of them, amassed over many centuries...

Yeeeeah, that's a thing that can change rather suddenly when around amazing, adorable trans girls. *personal experience thumbs up* :3

That's awesome! Here's my theory about what happens sometimes with girls in movies... So, the classic problem is that girls were always portrayed as wimpy and irrational; the boys would save the day while the girls would squeal a lot and make idiotic mistakes. Some movie makers caught on to the fact that that wasn't cool... Yay! But then they went overboard and became afraid to ever let the girls show weakness or be inferior to a boy in any way. And then it gets kinda silly.
To bring this back to marginally on-topic, one of the things I like so much about QC is how Jeph can write female characters with all their flaws and neuroses and anxieties in a human way but not at all in a sexist way. :-)

I think there's been enough foreshadowing to make Marten's actions believable from a plot perspective, although it does come a bit out of left field in that it's the first time we see him clearly showing interest in Claire. But hey, the first move has to come sometime, right? In my (re)reading of the lead up to these developments, although Marten hasn't shown much in the way of explicit interest in a romantic relationship with Claire, they've certainly spent a lot of time getting to know each other and at least recently he must have picked up on her interest in him. Sometimes you realize someone is into you and it makes you see them in a new light. He's been thinking about "what he wants" in life. Perhaps he's still figuring out his feelings and the circumstances just felt right/comfortable for him to be more forward tonight, and for her to not immediately panic.
Or maybe this was just a case of being a little buzzed and flirty with a friend, Jeph only knows.

You mean when Rowling put Harry with the soulless ginger.

Eh, she puts everyone with soulless gingers if she possibly can. I mean, the (literally) supernaturally beautiful french heiress with the professional thief? And you can pretty much guarantee that whoever ended up with Percy didn't do anything to really deserve that fate…
