Thanks for answering! 🥰
Yeah I think I would agree with that!
I've wanted to ask this for weeks and forgot time and time again, but after the ask about fire and now the one with the twins getting hurt I finally have to get it out:
Do you think the twins reactions to fire are different from each other? Does one hate it more? After your post about which one is more evil (which I still absolutely LOVE by the way) would maybe Jane for example get next to fire if Aro orders it, reluctantly probably, but she would do it, and Alec is refusing it completly? Does Jane maybe react more to the sight of fire and Alec hates the smell more?
Oooooo I love this!
See the thing is, there gifts manifested basically on what they wanted in that moment right? Jane was furious, she wanted to cause pain. For her, fire and flame are akin to fury, and she has plenty of it. She can be around fire quite easily given how its used to turn the enemies of her coven to ash. The only time she panics is when she is forced to be near fire. The heat emnating from the flames is too much for her and she will completely meltdown.
Alec is the one who completely wanted to be numb to it all, to forget it was happening. He cannot stand anything to do with fire, though he can somewhat control his reactions. Those who know him well will see the way be stiffens at the smell of smoke, see the way his nostrils flare and he hisses quietly when he sees it engulf a person. Enemy or no, he doesn't wish this fate on anyone. He adamantly refuses to be near fire. You'll see when Irina dies in breaking dawn, he remains on Demetri's left hand side, always keeping someone he trusts between him and the flames.
