So I hate to be that one person, but am I the only one to find Claire's reaction insensitive? Self-centered? Immature?
I mean, it's not the rudest thing in the world, but it's far from what I'd call cute.
bhtooefr:
Self-centered is really a good way to put that reaction of hers, to be honest, and it did rub me a bit the wrong way. Claire, this is Faye's problem, not yours.
Marten really is quite happy with Claire, though.
BenRG:
I don't think that "self-centred" is quite correct. The real issue here is "insecure" and uncertain of her own worth. The fact that she's actually helped someone, that she's impacted positively upon someone's life, is a huge thing for Claire. It really says volumes about her hopes, dreams and aspirations that helping someone is a cause for joy.
So, yeah, Claire is reacting more about what this moment means for her than what it means for Faye and that is a bit selfish but, if I'm right about her self-esteem issues, understandable.
Just another nail in the coffin of the arguments of those who insist that the character is a one-dimensional Mary Sue.

I like Marten's proud, absolutely pleased with himself and the world-face. It kinda makes the comic!
Although... Marten feels a lot older than her in this comic (he's probably 2-3 years older, but it seems like way more)
