Look at his body language and what he's saying during the entire interaction. He's pulling away from her. He does not want this interaction to happen.

To put it another way... I think he's realized why it was so malicious that Claire hooked him up with Emily, and "screwing up" is now no longer one of his concerns.

If that is what's going on, I'd feel really sorry for Emily, considering what we know about Emily's history.

CM_albion:
We now Break from our regular scheduled events for another week with the relationship between an unique young lady and an utter pillock.

this should be entertaining, if only to see Clinton wallow in his own uselessness.

Granted yes I know that not every pair/set of siblings is like this, but usually when you've been stuck living with someone relatively close to your age for most of your life, and they in turn have been stuck living with you for all of theirs, it doesn't matter how much you care about each other, you *are* going to get on each other's nerves, sometimes a whole heck of a lot. And yes, the catty banter is part of that wonderful package deal. :P

No, I just treat my younger brother like a person, you know? Yes, younger siblings are annoying, but Clinton's 21 and Claire's 24, and they're not living together any more. Clinton's living on the campus while Claire still lives at home. At this stage, sibling relationships change - you don't see each other that much any more, both are out of puberty, parents don't have that much influence any more, so you can actually enjoy the time you spend together because you don't have to spend it together at all. So, if they were 10 and 13, those insults would be normal and very usual for a sibling relationship, but they are adults now, with responsibilities and limited time. Why would you choose to spend that time with somebody who just insults you?

Your post would have some merit, IF Claire seemed like she was actually being serious. However, she doesn't, so I feel like you're being overly critical just for the sake of it (as people in these forums seem to have a habit of being). And even if I'm wrong, and she does mean some of what she says, so what if they still bug each other? It's not like they only see each other once a year and spend the rest of the time hundreds of kilometers apart. They might be living under separate roofs, but they're still in the same city, and given Clinton's age he probably hasn't been away from home for very long yet either. Their sibling dynamic probably hasn't really had the time or space to evolve beyond the "Mooooom, he won't get out of my room!" stage. A little bit of snarkiness also doesn't necessarily mean that they wouldn't still do anything to help the other out of a bind either. That's the wonderful thing about sibling relationships, you can be meaner than rattlesnakes to one another, but when the chips are down, you still have each others' backs. lol

[snip]

Some sibling relationships are all unicorn farts and puppy kisses, while others come just short of strangling each other with the telephone cord. What I see when I look at Clinton and Claire is a happy medium, prooobably leaning a bit more towards unicorn farts. :P

So, maybe I didn't express myself correctly - I didn't mean to say that Claire wants to be mean, she just is. Clinton didn't mean to be creepy towards Hannelore, but he was. She's just not a very nice person, but some people put her in her place (such as Faye) and some people don't.  I'm sure she cares about Clinton, and that her jabs at him are meant to be friendly and all, but there's a fine line between friendly jabs and insults (for example 'Such a male stereotype - you're better than that' is a jab at his actions, but still supportive, but 'talking to you is so boring' is just insulting. If she had phrased it differently, it might not have been, but tact and courtesy is something Claire demands of others but not herself.)

Is it cold in here?:
The only way Clinton could have made it a better date for Emily would have been to bring her a basket of mice.

Kugai:
I get the feeling that Emily is the first girl he's been on anything serious like a DATE date before and has no idea what to do now.
