Zianro heard Marianna as she looked at him and stated something in a teasing fashion, basically, using the terms of Valsir's alliance.<br/><br/>"N-N-Now wait a second!" Zianro shouted. "Let's try not to take advantage of what Ragnar said! We need to get to know each other and things, and courtship, and other things!" His mind was basically in panic mode because of what he heard from the messenger from his homeland.<br/><br/>Then he had a feeling of dread.<span style="font-style: italic">"How would my sisters react to this?!"</span>he thought. He then started to take deep breaths to calm down. "Plus, I'm sure there are other warriors wanting to line up to try and win your hand.." He said shyly, tapping his foot on the floor of the throne room.<br/><br/>How could this moment get any worse?
