people who go back and watch old content and make new fanart for it are the strongest and bravest soldiers in the community btw. there are probably only like 5 other people left who care about that era but those who do care have been starved for years begging on the streets for meager scraps. its like a three course meal for us forreal

Navia would look at Furina and say, "I could fix her." And succeed lmao
But yes since the trial/moving out, Furina's been mostly a heap of self deprecative and loathing thoughts, always hears and thinks the worst of herself, always thinks the worst of herself, tries not to express it to the world but Navia can see right through the weak defenses she put up, and she can see herself in the former archon, deciding at that moment that she definitely needed to help Furina <3
the whole falling in love thing was so slow and accidental that both she and furina didnt even notice at first <3
Navia is the only woman in Fontaine that could fix Furina aside from Furina herself, and I seriously mean that.
I also feel like Navia feels... A sense of duty, in a way? It's no secret that Spina du Rosula butted heads often with the governing body, of course, but with the truth out in the open for everyone to see, I truly believe she's the most sympathetic and patient with Furina (besides, perhaps, Neuvillette himself - though Navia has the guts to also give Furina the tough love, wheras Neuvillette has too much of a soft spot for Furina to ever go hard on her again).
Given time, Furina is able to find ways to properly make amends - or at least right her wrongs in some way - for the people of Poisson, who weigh heaviest on her mind.
(Of course, Navia not least of all lost the most at that time, and of course there's not enough mora or sugar in Teyvat for her to offer any substantial forgiveness for what her act put Navia through. Navia wants none of it, either, and her kindness baffles Furina every moment of every day.)
At the end of it all, Navia is the first real friend Furina makes on a level of pure emotional connection. And when they eventually realize the depth of their mutual develloping feelings, I... Still think they keep it without a label. For a few reasons, of course, not least of all The Steambird (I can see the headlines now) - but also because I think they'd both kind of loathe defining it?
They certainly love each other, but they're not partners or girlfriends. They're exclusive, but not in any way that a tabloid can name.
They're just Furina and Navia. That's all either of them ever want to be.
