When in doubt, in-universe crack always works. Say someone says, "You touched the holy blahblah!!! You're mated for life!!!" And your characters reply, "Huh?" but play along because reasons. But then the power of suggestion takes hold and they both get a little squirrely about it. Add teammates being all solemn while explaining it but laughing like loons when caught. "No, really, you touched the holy blahblah; you're doomed to all eternity together whether you like it or not." (snicker)
Harmless local lore that turns into, well, accidentally mating for life. Which just goes to prove the old coot right but they'll never tell. :D
