He nods. It was an easy decision, in this regard, to marry Claudius; there was no one else to think of. If Claudius worried that any of his relationships would change because of marriage, he's never said so to Galahad, and he didn't hesitate in accepting Galahad's proposal.
But Susan loves one man who might want to marry and one woman who does not want to be the person outside a marriage. At the same time, marriage is only something Lancelot might have wanted, if he had been afforded the choice, just as he might have wanted the choice to raise Galahad, whether or not he wanted children to begin with. It doesn't appear that Susan has been given any ultimatum, or even that Lancelot has expressed a desire to marry her.
Galahad processes this. It seems as if, perhaps, Susan is just worrying aloud, gathering her thoughts by speaking them.
"Mn," he says, in case she thinks he's not listening because he's not looking at her.
