Is it cold in here?:
Welcome, new person, and have a fresh-caught lake salmon.

I don't know if I'd call that date "epic." Maybe if the guy that hit him was taller, had scales, and breathed fire...

Still, so far, it's gone much better than I expected. Turns out Emily's good for Clinton (as in, being around her has made him a better person). Woo hoo.
Will they become a thing? Will she end up loving him the way he is? (Apparently not, but she may end up loving him after adjustments.)

I keep thinking 'the way he is' will refer to this one.
BenRG:
So, it looks like the 'second thoughts' theory was correct. This is disappointing because I was really looking forward to watching Clinton dumpster surfing into the ornamental pond in the town park!
Still, Clinton's concerns are justified. How do you top that? Do you even want to? You know that the situation is an extreme one when it's impossible to tell if Claire is mocking her brother or genuinely trying to offer a constructive suggestion!
Panel 3 interests me, specifically in Claire's reaction to Marten calling Clinton's date 'epic'. I wonder if this will trigger behaviour? This could vary between getting a tattoo at the low end to 'surprising' Marten with an action-packed date plan like a strip-club crawl or off-road bike rally at the extreme end!
As for 'dear'? Actually, I think that Marten meant that humourously. What pet names do they have for each other anyway? Have they even got to that point yet? 'Mar-Mar' will be ruled out for the obvious reasons.
@Smallest,
Regarding strip 2305, note Emily's reaction to Claire's off-colour 'joke' in panel 4: Could that have been where it began?

--- Quote from: Omega Entity on 15 Apr 2015, 20:00 ---Y'know, thinking about it, I'm wondering if Emily consciously exaggerates her cluelessness? space-cadet status? on purpose. Like, she's purposefully strange.
Not likely, but it's a thought that just occurred to me considering her 'lucid' and coherent conversation with Clinton towards the end.

Maybe not that unlikely, though. I mean, I'm sure she's at least a bit odd. But I've noticed that some people in my own life amp up their oddity as a defense or coping mechanism (I've known people who've found social interaction easier when they played a version of themselves, but would be much different around people they trusted and were comfortable with). It's possible that in Clinton, Emily recognizes a kindred spirit; after all, their interactions toward the latter half of the date are a lot different -- and read as being a bit more real/honest -- than the earlier part of it.
Not sure if that makes sense to anyone but me, but there ya go.

Precisely what I was thinking when I wrote that :-)
