Another way is to put them in difficult situations together. Let's say they are trapped in an enemy territory. They have to rely on each other to survive. The Nobushi could use her stealth skills and the Warden his brute strength. Through these shared experiences of facing danger and relying on one another, a believable relationship can be developed. As they fight side by side, they start to trust and care for each other more.
To create a believable relationship, start with their similarities. They are both skilled warriors. Show how they respect each other's combat skills at first. For example, in a battle, the Warden could deflect the Nobushi's attack in a way that shows he acknowledges her strength. This mutual respect can be the foundation for their relationship.
You can also explore their differences. The Warden might come from a more chivalrous background while the Nobushi has her own code of honor from her faction. Have them learn about these differences. Maybe the Warden is confused by some of the Nobushi's actions at first, but as he asks her about it, they start to understand each other better and grow closer.
