Meh, forget Dora. This is part of Claire's arc. She's been serious about her internship from day one, and Tai just showed how little it mattered to her. Sure, she may have been joking, but signs point to her being high as balls. Pair that with her previous lackadaisical attitude about library business, and I think this is the beginning of a major feud.

I don't like chicken. But that's because I like to eat things that can kill me in a fight. Except seafood, because I am allergic to it.
grez:
Perhaps a more interesting question than what Claire thinks about Tai: If Claire's recommendations are going to library jobs or library science schools away from Northampton, will Marten be faced with the same choice that Faye had to make? How will his decision differ from or be similar to Faye's?
I think we're being set up for some interesting parallels here.

Oooh, hadn't thought of that. My assumption has always been that Claire would continue working at Smif, but I like where you're going with this. Although it seems rather soon in the relationship--as intimate as they've been so far, I can't see Claire (or Marten) choosing a week-old relationship over a great job opportunity, or Marten uprooting his life (again) to follow Claire for same. Much better plotwise if this happens a few months (in-comic) down the road. Claire gets hired on at Smif first, then sees an opportunity to transfer...
*Starts giggling madly*

Well, Marten doesn't have Faye's issues complicating a move, and he's expressed some dissatisfaction with his job at the library. So in those ways he has less holding him to the area that Faye had. On the other hand, he's friends and Mother live in town, his band lives and practices there. So there's also no real reason for him to leave that behind either. More to the point though, Claire has more connections to the area and reasons to stay for now than Marten does. Mostly the fact that she's still a student as SMIF and probably will be for another year or two at least. Now I could see her maybe going to another school for grad studies, and possibly moving to another town to take a library position... but by the time that rolls around Claire and Marten will have either broken up, or be thinking that it's something serious. Which would make a big difference in the decision process.
