Long Distance Update

Marten got mopey about Padma leaving and never said goodbye to her, as I recall, despite the urging of others.

TMN

Wait, what happened with Padma again?

Freya Thurell

To be honest, I really don't see a lot of drama coming from this. Seems more likely Claire will be teasing Marten a bit about this, given how uncomfortable he became at the mention of Padma. "Stupid" drama just doesn't seem like a thing their relationship would see much of.

Peter Jensen

Claire has strong feelings against anyone who deliberately sabotages a relationship, I remember. And that particular end was pretty harsh...

David Paul

I really doubt that'll happen, at least not because of this. Marten knows he fucked up back then, and Claire's been with him for how long now?

Eric Rucker

...I really hope Marten and Claire don't break up.

Diptych

Ooh, yes. I have been *waiting* for this particular shoe to drop.

Charlotte Grubbs

This will only end in tears.

Matt

Genuinely not sure why the circumstances in which Marten moved to Northhampton would at all mitigate the way he treated Padma. IIRC he explicitly told Faye he had no plans to move across the country for Padma, nor did she (Padma) ask or expect him to. She just wanted to see him one last time, and Marten blew her off in a passive-aggressive snit.

Dangit Jeph! You're going to make us wait to see if Clinton just walked away?!?

Max D S

She gave birth to Luke and Leia, right?

What should happen: Marten: "Stop. Renee, before you spill, Claire deserves some context. Wait right here. Claire, please step over here a minute and I'll give you a little backstory." Claire: "...Okay." Renee: "Wait, I wanna hear this, too." Marten: "No. You've already made your judgements. I want you to keep them when you fill her in. Don't worry, everything I tell her will be from before Padma." *Draws Claire aside, tells her about the circumstances that caused him to move here. Takes her back.* Marten: (to Renee) "She's all yours. I'll be at the table."

Back to classic QC for a minute.

Yayyy, Marten drama!

TMN

Always good to have intel on what to expect.

Joseph H.

Why do women do this I wonder...

MikeT

If being uncomfortable with mistakes you've made in the past is the "lowest" someone has gone, I'd say that's pretty good.

Chason

well until now the Marten/Claire ship had been relatively drama-free. So much for that....

Marten's response to the Padma situation was probably the lowest he's been as a character; I'm interested to see how this affects his relationship with Claire.

OMG you don't know?! How embarrass--I can't remember either.

Gino Arizmendi

Me: omg who's Padama again? 😂

Sam Thacker

Shoot, I can't remember exactly what happened. I need to go back and re-read that arc at some point.

Alcaria Swain

Padma was an idiot about it too.

JD

I genuinely laughed at that one.

Populuxe

I love Renee.

Populuxe

I like how you did the 'Oh really'

Stuart Telfer

Ah, drama. (Grabs popcorn)
