...and forced to pass the time. Talking, working their situation out together, waiting for rescue, explaining or arguing about their unique world views/ideals/friendships/life choices/whatever. Literally tied together, stuck in a hole together, locked in a cell together, trapped in a cave-in... you get the idea.

Suggestions: Porthos and Queen Anne. Aramis and King Louis. Jaques the stable boy and the Cardinal. Athos and Queen Anne. Constance and the Duchess of Savoy... etc.
