You can't break it one way and not the other, but I think if player A says
"I consent to being player B's ally" and player B makes a move by announcing
eir desire to have player A as an ally, then player A is player B's ally.
But I'm not sure that the rules as written will mandate that player B then
be an ally of player A.
