Marten, Faye and Pintsize: Together Forever?

(1/2) > >>

comicalArchitect:
It recently occurred to me that if Marten and Claire ever get married (they're looking increasingly serious, and Marten is starting to seem mature enough), Claire probably would not want Pintsize and Faye living with them. Faye has a semi-steady job and several roommate prospects (plenty have theorized Bubbles, and I can see her eventually moving in with Hanners), but what about Pintsize? He's never been shown to live outside of Marten's financial support, so what would happen if he was forced to make his own living? Perhaps more importantly, what would he even be like without Marten to keep him relatively in check?

War Sparrow:
I can't see Marten kicking Pintsize out. After all, Pintsize is Marten's companion..practically his child.  Certainly Faye will eventually move,  but I am pretty sure Pintsize is forever unless he oversteps a line, or decides to return to the companion centre that he came from.

Penquin47:
Maybe Pintsize would go with Faye?  I can see him deciding that she's the one who needs him more, and her actually being kind of fond of the little troublemaker.

thedevilissix:
What if Bubbles got (reluctantly) involved in taking care of Pintsize? Could strike upon a goldmine of silliness.
(Unless she knows how to reinstall Pintsize's laser, in which case, RUN LIKE THE WIND)

BenRG:
I've got to say that I'm not so sure about Claire wanting Pintsize gone. She seems to have a certain degree of affection for the little guy in her own right. I think that the question is whether Pintsize might consider Marten finding a life-mate represents 'mission accomplished' on his Companion AnthroPC contract. If so, he might decide that the time has come to move on for himself, although remaining in the social circle.

How would I handle it? Hmmm... I think I could see him using some of the money he's made from his work as the webmaster of an on-line porn archive to buy himself a chassis upgrade and go full-time with his side-business. Maybe he'll turn out to be rich enough to take over the lease on Veronica's apartment.

As for Faye, I can see her wanting to move out as she doesn't want to be a third wheel. This could be used as a vector to push the Bubbles character arc (Faye browbeats her into moving out of the arena and in with her) or even resuscitating her relationship with Sven.
