"Ah, nothin' ta be sorry 'bout, yah answered mah question. We're headin' roight in Prixima's keep, eh? The end ta all o' this business be soon then! Tha' leads in roight great ta what Oi was goin' ta ask yah actually."

"See, Oi've been thinkin', wit' all o' this comin' ta ah head, we should do somethin' special. This ain' no toime ta mop an' fret, now is the toime ta cheer an' relish! Ta remember what all o' this be about, not 'bout death but about loife. Ta think o' 'ow long we've come an' ta think o' how broight the future will be once all o' this be roight an' properly behoind us. What yah say?"

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Sounds pretty good. If we're going to go out tomorrow, let's do it with a bang tonight, right?"

[Sirus]

: "It does sound like a good idea. I think we're actually ahead of you on that front already, but before we start having a party let's get some business out of the way. Chris, how many volunteered to take part in the mission tomorrow?"

[SeriousConcentrate]

"As near as I can tell, everybody has."

"I wouldn't expect anything less of our band of brothers... and sisters, too, of course."

[Sirus]

: "That's a relief. Not that I would blame anyone for not wanting to come along, but I feel that our odds are greatly improved with everyone involved."

: "The last order of business for now is one we've dealt with pretty much constantly: money. I managed to get some gold from Mannan, which should be enough to get a staff to cure of of that damned paralysis and whatever else Prixima's magic users might throw at us. I have no idea what such a staff might cost, but if there's any leftover start thinking of ways to spend it."

"Well, I think that's the boring stuff out of the way. Since Charlotte should be coming downstairs any minute now to begin celebrating, I guess I can go ahead and tell you now: I proposed to Charlotte, and she said yes."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Good on the pair of you, Greg!"

Chris slugged the sentinel lightly on the shoulder.

"I guess that party Sal mentioned has a better reason than 'why not?' now."

[Sirus]

: "Hey, I did tell you I was going to do it, right? That night you came back?"

: "Though to be honest, I don't think I would have if it weren't for all the talk of suicide missions. I wouldn't call 'now or never' the best circumstances to propose under, but I guess I panicked."

: "Still, what's done is done and Charlotte and I are officially newlyweds now. Having an extra reason to celebrate is always a good thing, right?"

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Wait, what? Did I miss a step here? I thought you said you proposed to her."

"I mean, uh, congratulations?"

[Sirus]

: "Don't worry, I was as surprised as you."

: "After Charlotte accepted my proposal, I asked Mannan if he would be willing to officiate at the wedding ceremony. I was thinking it would be sometime after the battle tomorrow and just wanted to ask him in advance, but instead he stands up and performs a short and simple wedding right there in the room! I had never even heard of such a thing."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Oh, wow. Mr and Mrs. Von Hexham already."

Chris grinned.

"Want any advice for the honeymoon? I already gave Valor a good talking to."

[Praefectus Screptum]

"Did anyone see the witch lady?"

[Sirus]

Gregor hesitated, turned slightly pink, looked around furtively, and lowered his voice.

: _{"...maybe later. Once things start quieting down."}

He coughed and resumed speaking normally.

: "So, what are your plans after this is over?"

[SeriousConcentrate]

Chris winked, turning his head slightly so Sal wouldn't see it, and leaned a shoulder on the nearest wall.

"Well, while we're speaking of marriages, I planned on going down to Forsaken lands and marrying Ami. Then maybe a traveling honeymoon for awhile before we went back to the keep."

"Distant future? I don't know. I'd like to try my hand at raising kids. I feel... two sons and a daughter sound about right. What about you, Greg? What sort of family are you looking to have running amuck about the household?"

[Sirus]

: "Oh, I don't know. Maybe one boy and one girl, doesn't matter which comes first. Not sure how we'll raise them or what we'll do to support them yet - something tells me that Prixima's goons 'confiscated' everything my family owned. Still, we'll make it work." A thought struck him. "Say, how quickly do you think you and Ami will be leaving for the Forsaken lands?"

[SeriousConcentrate]

"I don't know."

"I guess it depends on if you want us to stick around for a bit after this battle."
