BenRG:
Most of the human cast are 25-30 years old.

It's interesting that Pintsize has shown a pattern now of changing how he interacts with different characters. Claire is perhaps the most pronounced example of this, but his "little asshole" routine seems to come right back to the surface when dealing with Martin. Is his absurdist and crude behavior truly the manifestation of his personality, or is it that he's learned Martin responds better (or rather that he benefits from responding) to that kind of behavior as a foil to Martin's passive straight-man approach to life?
Or am I just talking out of my Cloaca?

I think Pintsize realizes that his asshole persona would likely make Claire shut down worse in this case

That's kinda what I meant. There's been this generally accepted notion (and then explicitly accepted) that Pintsize wasn't a good match for Martin, and that he wasn't really suited to the companion job. I think this shows that maybe he was a better match than we give him credit for after all, and isn't all that bad at the companion gig. That, or he's learned a lot on the job.
TheEvilDog:
Just remember one thing about Pintsize.
He is a companion AnthroPC. He presumably went through a complex selection process to make sure he was suitable for the companion program. As we've seen, the matching process Marten went through was badly skewed due to the AI's spider chassis freaking him the fuck out. Pintsize is a poor match for Marten, but that's never meant he's been a poor companion. His acting out has gotten Marten to get out of his shell a little bit and starting a chain effect that has resulted in the Marten we have now.
And bear in mind that Pintsize is insightful. Its just usually hidden in vulgar jokes or wacky antics.
