[He doesn't sound thrilled, but that might just be exasperation over Loras' blind pride for Sansa's decision.]
I'd respect it more if it were just Morla's offer that she refused. I wasn't any more interested in the arrangement than she was, after all. But our...mutual mentor had come up with a solution. He'd wanted us to cooperate anyway, so he suggested that she formally accept the arrangement and we maintain the appearance of a very long-term engagement until something better could be worked out. No one would have actually had to marry, and Cothromach would have been saved Morla's wrath.
I agreed to that arrangement, to protect those in Cothromach whose lives might have depended on it. But Lady Sansa decided against it, in the end. Apparently, she preferred to subject her people to a siege than pretend at a farce of an engagement for a while.
