How about something with "renvi"? Survivals generally appear to mean
that the upshot is a more secure state than the transitional ones.
renvi2 would seem to be a process that is challenging to the
experiencer and that leads to a relatively more desirable condition,
which would sound appropriate for Robin's sense of "willing to wait if
it will result in a better outcome", perhaps in conjunction with
"cinmo".
