However, your argument suggests that even if Nick was willing to try for a relationship it is Adalind’s actions and only Adalind’s actions that would interfere with them moving forward.
Lets take the last encounter. Adalind wakes Nick and starts talking about trust. What is the first thing Adalind does the next day. Runs off to meet Sean. The same Sean that has tricked, deceived, put her in danger. The same Sean she knows is working for BC. Basically she trust Sean more that he is not going to do something to her or use her against Nick. Then she trust Nick to help her deal with Sean. Yet people still want to be on the Nadalind band wagon. The reason I see posted, she was concerned about her child, Diana.
As it is they drugged her and now she is in some unknown location, and no one even knows she is gone let alone where she is. You know she is going to be given an ultimatum if she wants to see Diana again. She as already shown if Sean says so she won;t tell Nick. With Diana at stake. You know she would hand Nick over on a silver platter.
For their to be a relation first their has to be a friendship. You need to know you have each others back. What has Adalind done to show she has Nicks back. How about giving Nick a hexenbiest 101 lesson so he knows what he is dealing with.
Her is how I see the difference between the two relationships. Nick seemd to be concerned about what effect his actions would have on Juliette. He doesn't seem to have that with Adalind. With Juliette they would show ick think about her. With Adalind he is constantly thinking about what she has done. I will admit Nick and Adalind have this physical thing going which you did not see in Nick and Juliette. But with Adalind it seems more lust then it does love. I do not even get the feeling he cares that is Adalind he is sleeping with. She could be any warm body.
Adalind is being as naïve as ever when it comes to Sean, but as it always is, she doesn’t have anyone to turn to - as you say, watch her back. When Adalind woke Nick it was to tell him about Sean, that she’s worried he will use Diana to force her to do something.
When Nick reveals Sean’s suspected alliance with BC, Adalind is visibly upset and tells Nick she’s afraid. Nick’s response is to tell Adalind to tell him if Sean contacts her again and lie back down. End of discussion.
I agree Nick doesn’t love Adalind. Whatever unnamed emotion/confusion he was feeling towards her between Eve of Destruction and Star Crossed is gone. But Adalind’s reaction to Nick’s disregard for her feelings/fears is being totally dismissed.
What woman would put any man before her child? Based on their brief conversation why would Adalind believe Nick cares about her daughter or that he would put her well being ahead of his own agenda? Why is Adalind expected to lay out everything for a man that has clearly placed her at the bottom of the list of people he cares about?
Adalind is as naïve with Nick as he is with Sean. She already knows she can’t trust Sean and will end up being used again, hopefully the Nick light bulb will soon click on.
