I wasn’t referring to intimate physical contact, but that Nick wholly accepted and loved Adalind in a way he didn’t Hexenbiest Juliette - which had more to do with the immediate disintegration of their relationship than his eventual ability/willingness to do so. I want to believe that Nick realized his mistake with Juliette - willing to love only a part of what she was - and with Adalind, he’d learned that just as both women loved him and his Grimm, he needed to love all of Adalind and not see any part of her as unwanted or tolerated.(06-25-2017, 01:26 PM)irukandji Wrote: I really don't think Nick embraced Adalind's hexenbiest either. I was wondering just what he'd do if he came home and saw a woged Adalind brewing some kind of potion. My thoughts? Adalind wouldn't be living in the fome too much longer if she kept up that kind of behavior.If he came home and found her brewing something, he'd probably ask her what she was up to, was it serious and did she need his help? He's at the stage where he doesn't think she'd do anything treacherous or villainous like when he first met her. I don't see Nick ever cuddling up to a hexenbiest in my jaundiced opinion but he's not completely put off by it or her hexenbiest in particular even though she was the first one he encountered that he fought with the longest. He and Adalind supposedly worked on their trust issues since the end S5, probably ironing out the remainder of niggling little things in between the two decades they spend together.
The three times she woged in front of him this season, he asked for it for the trust me knot spell, the second time was when they needed to open the book to find out how Eve crossed through the mirror and he didn't react at all, instead it looked more like Diana was the one giving him vibes when he pulled out the stick and her eyes began to glow. The last time time Adalind woged was when they needed the blood of a Grimm, Hexenbiest and a wesen. Nick placed his hand directly above Adalind's shrivelled up hand and again he wasn't creeped out by it all.
Honestly, I can't talk about the full extent of Nick's embracing Adalind's hexenbiest because I'm speaking for myself and I can't imaging cozying up next to one or even imagine being intimate with one because eww, is all I have to say on the matter. Nick has shown to move past a lot of his prejudices where hexenbiests are concerned, I don't see him holding on to even the most basic of those where not only Adalind is concerned but also Eve.
I don’t see Nick jumping to conclusions either should he find Adalind working on a potion or spell. He didn’t jump to conclusions and suspect Adalind kept her mother’s books for dubious reasons. And for me anyway, that goes back to Nick embracing the Hexenbiest. He asked Adalind to use her Hexenbiest skills in S6 because that’s her forte, her strength, and not a part of her he needs to pretend doesn’t exist.
