Zidane was a bit thrown by that. She wanted him to marry her, he knew that, and that meant he'd have to be king, wouldn't it? I mean, it was implied within the question? He thought it was.

But when her hands were tugged away, and she threw those other questions at him, in such an angry tone, worries about being king were forgotten. "Hey, I'd never abandon my responsibility to you, Dagger." He frowned, stepping closer, but he doesn't try to touch her, his arms at his sides. "I love you. You mentioned...you said you want a family, I-" there's a brief pause here, as he tries to sort out his thoughts (and get over some things), and he seems a bit annoyed with himself.

"I want a family with you." He finally said, with only the barest of shakes in his voice. "You me, a couple of cute little tailed brats running around. I do, I want that. I'd never skip out on that. I swear it."

Of course, that doesn't address the other issue at all, but...they'd get back to it. Hopefully.
