She's in a new relationship. Her first relationship. Her boyfriend just went through this thing with Faye nearly drinking herself to death, and cancelled their date for that. I read Claire's face as worried, foremost. Worried about Marten, about what mood he might be in with that kind of stress and responsibility, whether he would be receptive to her. What is she supposed to do - barge in the door smooch-first? Not very logical. Ensuing make-outs once they've connected - yeah, those are logical and a lot more healthy than getting drunk to dealing with the stress of it.
I like today's strip. Also: squeee. :)

How do we know that she didn't take the initiative (or at least consent willingly) in turning up at Marten's place?
I think her "unhappy" look is more nervousness at the prospect of possibly venturing into uncharted waters, but it's pretty clear from previous comics (like the "ice cream" incident) what she wants.
Anyway, as others have said, we don't really know what they are going to do, and at some level of detail we don't need to.
Also nobody's mentioned yet that Claire and Marten have had a planned date interrupted by Faye's hospital incident, so there's some frustration and a bit of catching up to do.

Yes, that too.
Edited to add:
Look at Claire's body language in panels 2 and 3. Someone commented on her hands in panel 2 - she's maybe not quite sure how happy Marten is to see her, and he's the one that made the first move. Followed by panel 3: arms thrown round his neck as nervous Claire relaxes, reassured that he wants her.
NilsO:
Still, I guess Jeph will be careful drawing or describing Claire/Marten in a sexual context (like he did with Sven/Faye or Sven/Gina Riversmith). I guess Claire and Marten are fully clothed if we get a peek behind the bedroom door, but the most probable scenario is Marten and Claire coming out of the same bedroom door, encountering Faye for breakfast in tomorrow's strip. Whatever happened behind that door, will remain hidden. Faye should make pancakes. Claire's face will be redder than Grade A Dark Amber maple syrup.

That must vary, because I'm a glasses wearer and my girlfriend is an occasional glasses wearer and we kiss like that all the time, brah.

Alternative Friday strip: Yelling Bird! But I would prefer to know what happened to Pintsize. This scenario from last week is just brilliant:

Personally, I'd like to see the Pintsize equivalent of Faye's intermittent blackout sequence from earlier this week:
Black screen... Panicked Winslow... Black screen... examined by Marigold... black screen... trying to grab Momo's behind... black screen... being punched by May... black screen... hand plugged to some kind of device... black screen...
