Scenario A: Maid Marian is born to fox parents. One of their siblings marries King Richard. Richard, being both a king and a lion is allowed to marry whomever the fuck he wants.

Scenario B: Marian is orphaned, and Richard adopts her, and she refers to him as her "uncle" because she was old enough when her parents died that she felt Richard was more of an uncle than a new father to her.

Scenario C: Marian's parents aren't dead, but Richard is such good friends with them that she calls him her uncle purely as a term of affection.

That's just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are other fully plausible configurations.

    They're thoughtful and open. Sounds like good partner material to me.

    I’d assume that’s a yes nod. They are a remarkable companion.

    To my knowledge, typically in English literature a "nod" means yes, and a "shake" of the head means no. I know there's at least one language where the converse is true, but I can't remember for which language I discovered that to be the case.

    Well, c'mon - Marion was supposed to be hot, ergo she's a "fox" (no relation to Megan).
