They have a terrible habit of biting each other 😌

It was Aymeric that set the precedent for physical retaliation, as he pinched Zanel's cheek first during an extremely frustrating argument for him. He was still getting used to the hyur, he finding it difficult to regulate his emotions towards someone that did not bother keeping up appearances in Ishgard. Zanel was taken aback by the reprimand, as she had never been scolded in all her 23 summers. She bit the elezen in retaliation, making Aymeric yelp and the two soon descended into a childish spat out in public.

"Hmph. So we're all just forgetting what the Black Wolf did?" Aymeric smiled, offering a piece of cake to his wife who was sulking like a petulant child. In her defense, she had just recovered from being tackled to the ground by the Warrior of Light. "Chipie, you are the least qualified person to be discussing war criminals." "Aymeric de Borel—!" "Believe me, it haunts me every day. Now, let's us enjoy the festivities. We've come a long way, it'd be a shame to spend it sulking." The hyur made a face, biting the inside of her cheek as she tried to relax. With Aymeric's encouragement her shoulders slightly sagged, though her arms remained fiercely crossed. The elezen nudged his fork once more, to which she grimaced but accepted. She disliked sweets, and it seemed her punishment was to eat the sweetest cake known to man. The sugar did wonders to calm her down, overriding her irritation as she focused on the flavor. Until she caught another glimpse of Gaius, minding his own business and her anger flared once more. "Zanel please!"
