--- Quote from: daphne on 06 Nov 2014, 06:24 ---I'd prefer to see some balance where Claire gets to act like an adult woman, because since the comic has been focusing on her insecurities it reads like there is a maturity gap. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, but I don't know if it's the intent in the comic. And if it's the intent, I'd like to get a better understanding of what Marten sees in her except that she's cute. But I think we'll see this in time.

I think that's definitely coming - one of the first things I said when I registered here is that I was pretty sure Claire would love Marten like there's no tomorrow if he gave her a chance, and I've seen nothing to indicate I'm wrong about that. Yeah, she has insecurities, and yeah, Marten's going to help her through them where he can, but I think Claire's going to turn out to be hard as steel when it comes to helping and supporting Marten - she'll show him her softer side, but when he needs her, she's going to be a rock.
And if the various story threads are any indication, he's going to need her.

Indeed. We're seeing 'fair-weather' Marten here. We've also seen him bitter regarding frustrating and intractable things. ("It was mutual. We're both sick of her shit.", anyone?) If shit hits the fan somewhere, I don't expect him to act bitter, necessarily, but he's not likely to take it well. No clue what form the shit will take either. Veronica 'delightfully' trespassing where she shouldn't? Faye breaking down? (The steampaddler is limping along at half speed instead of being sunk, given the last conversation Faye and Dora had.) Clinton giving him shit? Who can say?

The head librarian offering Claire a full-time job--taking Marten's soon-to-be-previous position?
No, that would be waaaayyyy too cruel.

No, this would be cruel: Claire being acknowledged to have better qualifications than already-graduated-Tai, and taking her job. The intern thing gets flipped on its head.

Realizing she's Marten's superior now, she goes to Veronica for some, er, "leadership" advice.
MooskiNet:
Well, of the three interns, we have Claire, who dreams of being a librarian, the now-absent Gabby, who just likes books, and Emily, who likes how old books smell. And greem pepperth.
Claire's sorta the shoo-in.
