[ it's not that sanji doesn't take that entire situation seriously, but he's prone to being defensive (which seems to multiple by a thousand when the person he's raising his defenses against is zoro) and maybe he's the one feeling a little frustrated right now. because it's also not that sanji actually cares about whether or not zoro decides to get married (even if he'd pity anyone he ended up married to), but there's a sliver of annoyance over the hypocrisy in it, especially when it's meant to toss sanji's own significant values to the side against zoro's stubborn insistence that he always knows what's right.
maybe he'd also thought he and zoro were of the same mind in this, finally, valuing the loyalty to the crew first, only to be met with zoro speaking so casually about a life here — getting married, opening up a restaurant — and then summing it up as part of some big plan as if it could be that simple.
so, yes, better to just forget it.
even if he knows he isn't being fair either. not when they'd put everything into that fight before to address this thing between them without a proper description. because mad isn't the word, but zoro's always been the one thing he could never squeeze into a single word, not with the weight they carry between them — for luffy, for the crew, for each other.
it's this same thing that allowed for the events in the carriage to even happen at all. because there's a complexity to it, layers beyond 'mad' and 'hate' and 'betrayal' and 'loyalty', which don't carry any single word or a thousand.
and it's all of this that keeps spinning in his thoughts after his Fine because, no, it's not fine, and damn it, why the hell does that idiot always find a way to stay so persistently in his head??

Even if it's just to play by the rules, you shouldn't have to throw yourself into doing things if your heart's not in it. When I thought I had to get married for the sake of doing right for the crew, I was wrong and I ended up miserable for it.
