@Binary10011 it could easily be a red flag in a lot of other contexts, but she was the one who proposed first anyway. Second, whole reason he came to visit Artezia was to tell her his decision about her offer, but he - and we the readers - got a bit distracted by his indignation at the way she was being treated and her visit to the old Rozan loyalists. While they reached an understanding, he hadn't actually clearly confirmed whether he was going to go along with Artezia's plan at all until right up until he dropped that "future wife" line right as he was leaving, which is really funny (to me at least)."Future wife" - wow so cool of him to say it just like that. That line might seem a bit posessive to use irl though, right? Probably.
