No matter what, they’ll always find their way back to each other. Over the centuries they’ve had plenty of spats and near-altercations but its because they’re being stubborn, allowing their insecurities and fears dictate their words and actions, or fueling some miscommunication blown way out of proportion that they’re too prideful to resolve.
Both Sarafina and Feliciano are petty and hold grudges, but its almost always Feliciano who breaks and crawls back with either some sort of half-assed apology, or his heart on his sleeve and begging for forgiveness. As much as they let their misgivings steam on the proverbial back burner, they choose to live and let live, preferring the temporary relief over sorting out all their issues in a constructive manner.
Which is why they still have so many issues.
Regardless, they still love each other and use these many, many problems like springboards to progress in their complicated standings with each other. No amount of bad history can overwrite just how strong their bond is. They still love each other, and it’s safe to assume some things never change after so much time has passed.
Sarafina is concerned about herself and inciting some sort of revenge for their fallout; Feliciano, at first, believed he wanted revenge too, but realises that all he wants is to smooth their conflict and become close again. He’ll allow himself to be walked over to prevent her from leaving again-- its the last thing he wants. And on some level, whether subconscious or not, Sarafina understands that the unconditional devotion he still has is detrimental, but she’ll soak up as much of it as she can before it dims out for a while. To then be revitalised.
It’s a constant pattern, one that she’s grown accustomed to toying with; one that he’s habituated over hundreds of years. It’s the reason why they’re like this.
But it’s different now. They’ve grown. They’ve had time apart to heal and purge themselves of the most consuming of dread and agitation. There’s a mutual desire to mend old wounds and keep the other’s company for good reasons and familiarity.
Let’s hope it stays as so.
