This is fair, and I wonder how he will rationalize being with Claire when he was so against the possibility being pursued by Emily, but I honestly believe Marten is going to make an effort with Claire.

Aww, poor Emily. She needs to find a guy as weird as her. Mister Robot Hand, perhaps? :-P

Maybe May, she seems to like robots.

I feel like an ass for bringing this up, but I honestly rooted for an Emily/Marten (Emiten? Martily?) ship when the interns were first introduced, but she was a different kind of weird then. Like she was honestly just so deep in a train of thought that getting her to come back to reality would leave everyone scratching their heads trying to catch up.
Half Empty Coffee Cup:
Just saw the comic and what. Just... what. I did not expect this so soon! A nice surprise, though, as his pleasant mood looks like a good omen in terms of characters being happy with the direction things are headed. Even though the look in Claire's eyes brings to mind the image of a deer caught in headlights, that is.
I take it Claire's mom already knew about Marten if she decided to just invite him over for breakfast. (As several of you have also inferred)

I think he won't. Rationalize, that is. He'll likely acknowledge the "but she's an intern where I work" argument as a rationalization for just not being into Emily. Anyway, we don't really know what Marten's thinking yet. He could want to pursue this. He could want to pursue this and have decided to extricate himself from the task of training interns. He could decide to put things on ice until the situation changes. He could decide he doesn't want to take things further, and simply be happy with the close friends thing. What we do know is that he's in a good mood and not worried about what happens next: he's made some sort of conclusion now that he has a few bites in him.

That seems highly unnecessary, his boss is literally stoned all day and he doesn't appear to have any formal authority over the unpaid interns
neurocase:
I'm still of the opinion that Emily isn't even into Marten. She was just being her strange little self. Likewise, Marten showed no inclination toward her at all. In my opinion, she doesn't even come into the Claire/Marten equation at all, and if this goes ahead? I'll be incredibly surprised if there's a moment where Marten says they should stop and think about Emily's feelings. I guess I've always thought it was established there was nothing there for either of them, and in my mind, the whole "situation" with Emily was to settle into mind the idea of Marten dating an intern for other characters, i.e. Faye and Tai. Since they took it so easily about Emily, that might be a setup to that particular hangup being removed -or at least lessened- for Marten when it comes to Claire.
If any of that made sense outside of the cramped, spooky confines of my mind.
