Sometimes the goal requires sacrifice. Big and unpleasant. This is exactly what an alliance with a person from whom he would prefer to move to another continent would be like for Ray. Let her irritate him until his teeth hurt, and let his actions make her think about his mental abilities. It would be a stretch to call their relationship tolerant. However, they will have to become allies to achieve their goals. Their union will become much stronger than any other, whether they are happy about it or not. And they will have to accept each other as they are. After all, the goal requires sacrifice. And gritting their teeth, both will have to agree to them.
