The little dig at Sanada makes him smile, only because it's true. Sanada's standards were second possibly only to Yukimura's. He shined brightest pushing everyone and everything to be the very best that they could, and their entire nation was stronger for his pushing. And like the rest of them, he had a soft spot for Lissa. She was right. There wouldn't be a ring in all of Rikkai that could seem worthy enough for her in his eyes.

"Mmh... I see. Unfortunately, whether it's a ring I'd choose for myself isn't the kind of opinion I care about. The perfect engagement ring for me is the one that my partner chooses for me to have. So thank you for helping me get the best one!" He winks.
