I only found out my nickname at ADFA (Australian Defence Force Academy) many years later, from a former student.
"Mum"

Mum? Like Veronica? OMG you were the defense force dominatrix! #goodnameforaband

It would also be out of character for him, he's very protective of his big sister and tries to be all Alpha to anyone he sees that could potentially hurt her.
I think he'd be: "I knew she liked you, but if you break her heart, Martin, I'll max out the hydraulics in my hand and crush your skull like an egg. And then I'll go after your guitars."

I disagree that it would be out of character for him. He's met Marten, he's heard from Calire's mouth that she feels safe with him, he's seen first-hand a time when Marten rushed to defend a female friend from a creep when Marten defended Hanners from Clinton, and he's seen Marten be good to his sister with his own eyes. He's pretty much wholly vetted the guy at this point. There's no reason for him to flip out or threaten Marten, especially if Clairemom tells him ahead of time and he has his chance to overreact to it off-panel.
DSL:
No reason, maybe. But reason's not all that's in play here. Maybe especially if you're the little brother who thinks there's something to prove.
AprilArcus:
It would be a little OOC, in a good way. He's too one-note; I think it would be nice for him to surprise us.

--- Quote from: Blackbird on 14 Nov 2014, 13:44 ---My prediction: Claire finds Clinton working on something, and tries to rile him up with the news. Clinton keeps working and doesn't react. He finally says "When mom told me you had a boyfriend, I asked if it was Marten. He's a good guy, and you've been obsessed with him since you started that job, so stop being such a spaz about it," and he goes back to work.
Claire then turns to Marten, who says "Obsessed, huh?" with a big smile. Cue Claire-ultimate-red-face.

Can't it be both? To Claire: "Marten's a good guy," etc., then later, privately to Marten: "But if you break her heart..." Although I think just promising to crush his guitars would be enough of a threat; Marten would certainly take that seriously.
