OHHHHHHH THIS ONE I CAN TALK ABOUT i've thought about this!!!!!

My headcanon is that he definitely has trauma regarding the whole... incident and is super wary about the whole ordeal. Viggo isn't the type of person to show fear in the presence of others, which is why he didn't look phased when he re-entered the crater in The Wings of War, but I'm convinced he was far more panicked than he looked. I know from personal experience how surprisingly easy it can be to remain outwardly composed during an anxiety attack. While I doubt he was actually suppressing an attack, it's undeniable that something was going on in his head. He was almost definitely having trauma flashbacks; we already saw him have one at the mere mention of the incident, so actually being down there again must have been hell for him.

Pyrophobia? Not so much. He deals with fire basically every day - not to mention his Fire Sword and the absolute balls of steel he'd need to wield it - so I can't exactly see him developing a fear of the stuff. However, that doesn't mean he wouldn't be a little more cautious around it. I don't think he'd fall asleep at his desk with a candle still burning anymore (his sleep schedule is improving because of it). He's also probably scolded Krogan for standing too close to open flame or something (or perhaps he hasn't in the hopes that Krogan will burn himself lol). I could see him having a dislike for hot wax due to its liquid-y nature.

question

to @lilliths-httyd-blog

do you think viggo would have pyrophobia(a fear of fire)or lavaphobia(a fear of lava)due to the incident in the volcano?

or do you think viggo would just be uncomforable around anything hot that would remind him of the volcano lava?
