It seems likely that Angus and Faye have been together for nearly 6 months at this point. Not an epic amount of time, but neither too short to bond in a serious manner. I wouldn't call 6 months infant.
By the same token, starting a relationship with someone you have known for 2 months seems fairly sedate. That's not to imply anything, other than the fact that Claire and Marten didn't exactly rush into this.

Fair enough, but the fact that Angus is out of town for work (or at least was mentioned he worked out of town often) means out of those 6 months they didn't spend all of it together, and when they did get together, seemed maybe not a strictly physical relationship by any means but I can see a lot of their efforts spent making up that time apart. Faye may be more open about her issues now, but Angus has been already labeled as somebody who doesn't really pay attention much. I have nothing pro or against them, I just equated it to a 7year itch tyoe of thing, a bump in the relationship they have to figure out, its been tested and its up to them to pass it.
On Marten/Claire I didn't mean exactly that they rushed into a relationship in that sense. Tai and Dora had known each other for longer, but not as close friends, more like friend of a friend, and even tho a lot of time had passed since knowing each other, it still didn't mean they knew each other a lot or in depth. I was merely pointing out that Claire and Marten did seem to bond in a rather fast pace, they also have not know each other that long, and the "special" occasions where their relationship deepened were not that long after she started being an intern, and it was a weekend or a day or two each occasion so while they may feel comfortable around each other, I don't see them knowing each other in depth either. I also didn't say its strictly a bad thing, just that they needed to work on getting to know each other better. Whether it is a positive thing or not is up to Jeph :)

Faye thinks there were sexy times last night. Marten may not escape on pancakes alone.

I don't have a particular comment on how much time Faye and Angus spent together. There's no way to know.
Marten and Claire work together, and it is summer. Tai is a chill boss and the library isn't super busy. I think Marten and Claire have had time enough to "see where this leads." It's not like they are picking out wedding invitations, just yet.
Edit: to be clear, I mean we've seen that library employees talk about life, and we haven't seen every conversation between Claire and Marten. I suspect they have less to learn about each other than Tai and Dora did.

--- Quote from: Krald on 20 Oct 2014, 17:56 ---My one other problem was Angus in all his excitement ran to her public place of work to drop the bombshell on her, instead of telling her at one of their homes in private whete she may not feel quite so exposed and vunerable.
--- End quote ---
To be fair, he expected her to react differently, unless it's "bad news" it makes perfect sense to tell her at work, so she'd have a reason to be happy (for him) the rest of the day. If he had had an inkling that it would bother her, then yeah, he might have done it privately, but I see no reason why he would if he expects a positive reaction to the news

I don't think either of them are very far in the right, but I think it's worth noting that dropping even a positive bombshell on someone in public isn't very cool to do.

To be honest, I'm just excited to see what happens next, opinions and speculations only go so far when we don't know what's on Jeph's mind :P

Speculation is what these WCDTs are for.
Except some speculations.
