At the beginning of the show he wanted to get the key as an means to not only get in with the family, but to garner some power of his own as well. He was the son of the king but one with very limited if no influence at all. Renard's rejection by his family and tumultuous upbringing were enough to sour any desire for family. He loves and adores Diana but that doesn't extend to Adalind. If he dumped her unceremoniously for losing her powers (I don't think he was into her beyond using her), nothing would ever soften him towards her. Adalind realised this in S1 that's why she punished him with the obsession spell.(08-29-2017, 08:46 AM)wesen Wrote:(08-29-2017, 08:35 AM)dicappatore Wrote: The biggie, I think, is the fact that they shared a child. At first, it might have forced them to be under the same roof due to an unplanned child between them. But the love they had for baby Kelly blossomed into what became of the two. IMO, Loving the same child was a big click.that's true that baby Kelly was a big factor in why they ended up together, but it could have easily gone the other way as well. They could have remained cordial but detached from each other, just focusing purely in being co-parents to Kelly. This happened between Renard and Adalind, who both love Diana, and committed to co-parenting her. In fact, those two should have connected more so than Nick and Adalind seeing as they were allies from the start, and shared the same heritage (hexenbiest/zaurbiest). But their personalities were a mismatch and they just didn't have the kind of spark that drew Adalind and Nick together.
As for Renard, He was a Royal. If he ever showed any affection for Adalind or any other commoner, it was to use them, including Juliette. He shags her after he kicks her out of his abode. What a nice guy. Which brings me to another reason Nick and Adalind clicked. They were both “commoners”, from working class stiffs.
I know, many in this country don’t see too much differences between working class and upper class except for how deep their wallet can be. But this series is based on European Society. In Europe and in other many parts of the world, your class isn’t based on how deep your wallet is. It’s determined based on heritage.
Chalk up another click for Nick and Adalind. They were both commoners.
Adalind fell for Nick because he treated her kindly, better than she expected or felt she deserved after what they did to each other. Nick fell for her because he saw a very different Adalind, one that was softer, nurturing and humble. It helps that he gets to play hero and it wasn't rebuffed, in fact it was welcome.
