After Thomas decided to show some affection to Blake who already had all the affection in his heart, he thought he was ready for the marriage.
He was ready to marry him.

"The first step is creating the bond. For that, both of us need to fill those little bottles with our blood. Then you have to pour my blood into that big jar filled with that fresh flower.

"...I only asked if you have any questions. Say yes or no. I didn't ask the questions."
