Angelus and Alisaie, leaning close together
Angelus and Alisaie are much more initially passionate than Yonah and Alphinaud. Where her brother featured a slow burn into a comfortable relationship, Alisaie met Angelus and found herself in a whirlwind romance pretty immediately. Both Alisaie and Angelus are very forward individuals that don't enjoy mincing their words when it comes to their feelings. This lead to a very enamoured honeymoon phase, where they were practically glued to each others hips for a time. They spent nearly every waking moment together for nearly the first two moons of their relationship. Through that, they learned quite a lot about each other, and learned that outside of physical attraction, they were actually compatible on a deeper level. Once their honeymoon phase fizzled out and they were able to exist separately again, they spent their time figuring out what the right ratio of quality time to alone time was. They also got more in depth on what they expected and desired from a romantic relationship.
They both agreed that they wanted commitment, but not in the same way Alisaie's brother had. Neither Angelus nor Alisaie held much value in an actual Eternal Bond, as their bond should be able to speak for itself. They also didn't have any firm desire to buy an estate together, happy to spend the primary chunk of their time staying with friends or with inns, though Angelus did buy an apartment in Ishgard, enjoying the cooler climate. Alisaie was quickly added as a tenant, and they spend a fair amount of time there. They're content with this little space and have no plans to expand. Angelus and Alisaie both desired a small family, and were more than content adopting a child. Their future together took a surprising turn, giving Alisaie and Angelus a biological son together, courtesy of Alphinaud, who was happy to offer a donation towards a medical procedure to allow Angelus to conceive herself. This resulted in the birth of Mikhail, who was an incredibly welcome addition to their little family. Their personal moral compass is somewhat different, but not in any way that clashes. Alisaie has a very firm set of ideals that lead her to also have a strong sense of justice. Angelus is more content taking a backseat when it comes to high stakes situations, opting to join the fray if additional healing magicks become necessary. Alisaie has loosened her stance a bit, by giving Angelus a PERSON she wants to protect.
Alisaie is somewhat more reckless than Angelus is, but is still a tactician in her own right. She's quicker to jump into combat than her brother, but she does take a moment to assess the risks and whether or not it's a fight she can win. Angelus, being exclusively a conjurer, isn't on the front lines anyways, and by default takes a lot fewer risks than Alisaie for this reason. Their relationship is very much a passionate whirlwind that wound up leading into a deeper understanding of each other as individuals. They're the direct opposite of Yonah and Alphinaud, who were a slow burn from a long-term friendship, but also embody the other end of the spectrum of a healthy, loving relationship. They understand personal boundaries, and value their time alone as well as their time with one another. They're both independent, but also keep each other very close in their hearts.
On the other end of the dynamic is Alisaie & Angelus, the whirlwind romance.
With them having met after Endwalker, their dynamic was very fresh when they began dating, but, much like her brother, Alisaie is with someone she wants to stay with longterm.
