It's funny but I actually think she has feelings for him, but doesn't want to express them because he's so much older than her and that it's uncomfortable.

Because why else would she be doing this with him? If you don't love someone you tell it to them straight. She might have said she doesn't love him but then she goes and does something that says otherwise and Marcus get's confused.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if she did actually have feelings for him beyond a friend but feels uncomfortable being in that position.

I don't care what anyone says, Marcus and Noirin are hardly "just friends" at this point.......she clearly likes him more than she's letting on but is probably just uncomfortable with the situation it would put her in.
