No worries. Just happy to have you back, Blade. ^^^

I know how much power outages can suck, so take your time

Yeah, but it does cost them HP to do so. Not much, but its something to pay attention to.

And here I was thinking the proposal and marriage would happen in the middle of the assault on Prixima's keep, with Mannan presenting the service while Gregor and Charlotte cut a bloody swath through the troops.

I was thinking of doing something like this (though the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie was in my head, not MGS4 ), but I decided to do it this way for two reasons:
One, everyone's going on about this being a suicide mission. Gregor's trying to have confidence, but in Tue back of his mind he's worried. And when you're going on a suicide mission, you don't wait until during the mission to ask the important questions as things could go wrong very quickly. You ask beforehand, so at least you don't have to wonder any more.
Second, more pragmatic/out-of-character/metagamy reason was that I doubted very much that Haspen would upgrade the support rank to S mid-battle :p

: "Well, the last request depends on what happens next." He removed a small parcel from his pack, opening it to reveal the necklace he had bought back in Mannan's village weeks ago. He fell to one knee and presented it to Charlotte.

: "It's not a ring, and these weren't exactly the circumstances I had hoped to ask this, but...Charlotte Braxis, will you marry me?"

Do handhelds count as consoles...?

Gregor easily ignored Danya's glare and focused on Mannan.

: "I'm sure they'd be easy enough for a man of the cloth such as yourself. First, and I'm sure you're doing this already, but I want your word that you and this Magister Tiron will do everything in your power to ensure we can make it out once the witch lies dead. I don't care if it comes down to Captain Danya's pegasus riders carrying us out one by one - have a plan. Have several plans, even."

"Second: lately we've been running into a number of magic users who have the ability to put us to sleep, or turn us to stone, or turn us against one another. They nearly ruined our recent escape attempt, and I'm guessing Prixima will have more than a few sages with similar abilities running around. Therefore, the second request is for some sort of staff that can cure these afflictions, something that can Restore us to fighting fit if you will. Either that or enough funds to purchase such a thing."

I'm passing on Fortune because Greglotte provides something like 20 extra Dodge as-is, which most enemies won't be able to crit through anyway. Might come in handy for Prixima, but she does so much damage by default I'm not sure how much it would help

I considered Guard, but that really seems to be Alexander's forte and his DEF is much higher. The only other people Gregor could guard are Chris (higher evasion) and Alexander himself (higher DEF). Gregor's Sentinel ability is like a mini-guard anyway.

Pass is no-no :v
