The title. Astarion (white) and Will-o'-Wisp (black) feel like they are impossible to bound. It's been a year now, with many different methods. Today, when they are very, very close to one another, in a tiny space, Astarion will lick Wispy and they will look like they somewhat get along.
When it's in medium spaces (1 square meter), they still don't fight and Astarion licks Wisp from time to time but more than 50% of the time, Astarion does nothing but strongly hump Wisp's head as Wispy just flattens himself on the ground.
I know it's a domination thing so that they can figure out their hierarchy but Astarion's doesn't stop and Wisp doesn't look like he is enjoying spending time with Astarion very much. It's hard to feel like it's a progress compared ignoring each other. When should I make my peace with giving up? I lost hope.
(Two pieces of information: they are both neutered males and any space bigger than 1 square meter will always end up with them violently fighting)
I'm so heartbroken that they are not bounding. They would both be much happier if they were free roaming every day instead of once every two days.
