Miaboop:
I made an audible gasp for that last panel.
I don't... What?!
My guess is that Marten knows that nothing would ever happen if he just sat around and didn't do anything, and he has been getting better at taking charge of his life lately. Now the question is how Claire will respond to this. Martens feelings seem pretty clear, I doubt he'd do any of this just to tell her "We can't date/I don't want to date you"
in that case he's an oblivious asshole. But to be faire, he seems happy to be there. Almost drunk...
... with love?

Yes, but in the short term, it led to banging. And Claire-mom is in the next room.... :psyduck:

Let's not get ahead ourselves, here. I'm looking forward to a nice, wholesome talk about last night :laugh:

I want this to work so, so much, but I'm also completely terrified because I'm looking at the way it's going right now and my mind is screaming "NO."
Claire is obviously freaking out. As much as I know Marten's head and heart are in a good place, we have no idea what kind of reaction his grabbing her hand is going to have. A lot of people would interpret it as an attempt at a comforting gesture, and who knows, it might work (I hope it does I hope it does); but it might also have the opposite affect. And it feels like this is all happening way too quickly for it to end well. .-.

Clearly Claire is freaking out, and we know that she has issues with anxiety. Marten seems to be placing his focus on reassuring Claire/keeping her calm. Definitely an aww moment for me, taking her hand when he sees her panicking is such a powerful gesture. Regardless of which way this is going, Marten definitely appears to be aware that Claire is very vulnerable right now and wants to make sure that he doesn't do anything to hurt her.

Can you smell the character growth? Because I can!

--- End quote ---
Agreed. But I think that Marten will shoot down the professional issue by saying he doesn't care and with Tai as their superior it doesn't really matter (not to mention the research librarians who like to tell workers that they are janitors).

The comic hasn't even been up for an hour, and all my thoughts have been ninja'd. CURSE ALL OF YOU.
Also, all the squeeing must be causing dogs to have a the biggest freakout ever. Holy crap.

This. Precisely this. Anything that happens after that is going to be squee.
