18 & 24 for irina and altair + 25 & 35 for sophie and adam! 💞
18- What are their dates like? How long do/did they date? Do they ever feel the need to take a break from each other?
I think that for their dates, they enjoy going to different places they never went before and know the other will enjoy . Like, Altair in one of their first dates took Irina to this beautiful full of exotic flowers and plants; Irina took him to an exhibition about both magic and human technology; another time they went to a different town just to check the aquarium there. They also have calmer dates where they just sit together and read or study, which was what they used to do before they started dating, it feels natural.
Well they started dating in the middle of Irina freshman year (i think before christmas in book canon) and they are still dating. And not really, I think that the fact that they aren’t suitemates helps a lot, and I mean yes they are in the inside group of friends but they both have their own group inside of it. Also, for me, the fact they were friends and were used to see each other daily before dating helped a lot in learning how to give each other space when needed.
24-Any doubts about the relationship?
They don’t have doubts about each other at all, but Irina sometimes worry how being involved with her could hurt Altair, a lot of bad things keep happening around her and she doesn’t want to Altair to get mixed in the middle. She is also worried about the hole Nephilim vs Cambion thing, especially after what happened last year with Secretary Monroe
25-How much time do they spend together? Do they share their feelings, or hold things in?
Well, because of work they spend A LOT of time together and despite barking to each other a lot, they don’t really mind. Well Adam is clearly a repressed brick wall so we already know how that goes hahaha, Sophie KNOWS she likes Adam (perhaps she can admit to herself it’s even more than just “like”) but she is also EXTREMELY proud, so after Adam constant negation about his feelings Sophie refuses to share her feelings until he takes a step, she won’t make a fool of herself. His action during the carnival at the end of book 2 are perhaps a step in the right direction for both of them
35- Do they bring out the best in each other, or the worst? Do they have a fatal flaw?
At this stage of the relationship: both. Sophie brings Adam softer side and makes him open a little to the world around him, enjoying the little things and not being as stiff, but she also brings his brusque side and makes him exasperated easily. Adam can sometimes calm reckless side and teach her how to work in a team, she doesn’t need to everything by herself now. Their fatal flaw: they are both super stubborn omg!!!! they both think they are right and will go and on about a topic against each other, trying to prove the other one is in the wrong lol
Thanks Leo you angel!!! 💚
