Answer

Conciliatory: Vitalian and Constans II's relationship was conciliatory, meaning they sought to resolve differences and maintain harmony. This was evident in their efforts to mend the schism between the Roman and Eastern Churches, which had been ongoing since the Monothelite controversy. Vitalian sent legates to Constantinople to negotiate with Constans II, and they reached an agreement that allowed for the restoration of communion between the two churches.
