ReindeerFlotilla:
You know, I'm against the lo-words thing Jeph's been doing because it slows down the pacing and introduces a lot of ambiguity. But I'm totally for the recent no-words strips. I think they work just fine.

If that were so then why would Marten have bags under his eyes? I'm thinking Faye did a full overnight at the hospital, and was probably not released until the following afternoon. (I've been in hospital; they are not that swift at releasing you once you've been admitted.) Assuming the schism happened on a Friday morning, then this is Saturday evening.

I think Faye must have been in for 18 or even 24 hours or so.
Right now, Marten is probably physically and emotionally shattered, and has expanded a lot of energy on worrying about and taking care of his best friend. What he needs right now and what I'm sure Claire is delivering is just some comfort for his own stress and hurt from this experience. Doesn't mean that something is happening behind that door that will require Pintsize to round up a brown chicken and a brown cow... doesn't mean that isn't happening either of course but I think this is about Claire comforting Marten after Marten's bad experience with seeing his friend hurt.
Lubricus:
That's probably true, and frankly, whatever the two do to relieve that stress is none of our business, unless Jeph decides otherwise.

I wasn't a fan when the pace was slower but the pace has been way faster of late.
TieDyeKat:
I'm firmly in the cuddles camp. I think we'll see something similar to the wedding arch with one of them waking and seeing their clothed partner cuddled tight around them, smile and go back to sleep.
I also suspect Faye was in the hospital 24-36 hours. It takes a while to get through the red tape of admission and release.
