Is it cold in here?:
Maybe it's simple. Maybe the temptation to play with Claire's hair is hard for anyone to resist.

After spending a flu-ish night re-reading the whole story since Claire was introduced, I find Marten's attraction and even his smoothness quite plausible. It's a different kind of attraction than his previous - "crushier" - ones, and a much healthier kind in my experience. They just quietly grew closer to and more comfortable with each other, they've both done some personal development (maybe even partially due to the other one), either Marten was careful not to show his attraction because he didn't want to freak her out, or it just kind of sneaked in without him really noticing... Either way, they seem to have a healthy relationship already, and I'd be happy to see it develop further.
Also, hi.

Marten is hardly a teetotaler though. He was drunk all the time around Faye back in the day. He was incredibly drunk when he first met Hanners, and arguably tried to hit on her that first night. He was also pretty clumsy in his attempts on that woman on the Space Station and Deidre, despite alcohol being involved in both cases. If Marten had effective liquid courage in the past, we would have seen it.
--- Quote from: Neko_Ali on 29 Sep 2014, 14:34 ---To those who are saying that Marten has never expressed any feelings towards Claire, I refer you back to the wedding arc. Especially the night of the snuggle, the day after and all the time, talk and worry he did about what it all could have meant. If he didn't think anything of it, or feel anything that it would have been a non-issue. But he did spend time concerned about what had happened and what he should do about it. And he does seems to spend more time around Claire than any of the other interns. Any uncharacteristic smoothness aside (why is that even an issue really?) I don't see this development being at all far fetched.

Marten overanalyzes everything related to the ladies. Look at how the Emily kiss on the cheek caused him all of this angst that he needed to talk about with multiple people. Emily is probably the only woman in the entire series that has shown an interest he doesn't seem to want to consider dating, but he still can't shut up about it. If it's girl-related drama, Marten is sure to ask Steve, Faye, Tai, and possibly 1-2 other people their opinions, regardless of if he has the hots for her or not.
Edit: Which is another reason this kinda seems odd. If he did like Claire before that night, he would have discussed it with someone else within the confines of the strip. Marten does not keep drama to himself ever.
