--- Quote from: Gareth on 29 Sep 2014, 14:00 ---The suggestion that a socially awkward person, when drunk, will not make moves/be smooth is preposterous. Alcohol brings that out of a lot of people.

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.

There are also other circumstances here. Marten can have emotionally progressed in numerous ways, especially since the intense relationship with Dora. Claire is one of the few people Marten knows who is less dominant than him, and while Marten is frequently a doormat, perhaps he has found his inner confidence being around someone who lacks confidence just as much as he does. Or perhaps Claire is someone who, rather than just being perhaps an IDEALISED type of attraction to him, like Faye and perhaps even Dora, is someone who is more of a good fit for him as a relationship, and that brings out the confidence in him.

You know what you've done, right? Now everyone's going to link to this strip. :roll:

Wouldn't May || Momo be gynoids rather than androids, though?
Edit: If I were Momo right now, I'd politely May that she could use the shower when I was done with it, because eww.

If Marten is noticeably more confident than before (which I'm not entirely certain about, because right from the start he could be quite quick-witted sometimes) - that explanation works for me.

Considering that Hanners has said that she's "straight, in theory" (and the "in theory" part being tending towards asexuality, not bisexuality)...
And, considering that Pintsize and Marigold give her porn of guys...
