Who: Raven Darkholme & you
Broadcast: Video, fleetwide
Action: On the Blameless!
When: Now c:

[ The feed opens with Raven resting against the chest of someone who's sitting behind her, their arms around her as she shifts to make herself comfortable. Tilting her head up, she says something to him quietly - something that sounds suspiciously like shh - before she turns back to the camera to speak. ]

Does anyone know how to make a ring grow and shrink? Maybe if the person who was wearing it changed and their finger got bigger? It wouldn't work to just have one ring.

[ Her nose wrinkles, and she huffs a noise. ]

I would never have believed in magic before now, but... I can't think of anything else that might work. Thanks.

That's a good idea. A chain might survive better than a ring alone.

I'm sure you and Charles both knew, right?

Hank told me. I imagine he also told Charles.

[But they didn't discuss it between themselves.]

Everyone knew but me. But I suppose that's the point, right?

[exothermia]

No, Raven. The point is that he asked you to marry him.

[athru]

And I said yes.

I doubt you would have made this video otherwise.

[athru]

That would be sadistic of me.

[He doesn't reply again for a good few minutes.]

If you need a chain made, let me know.

[ She feels a rush of sadness and all she can do is breathe out, doing her best - leaning back against Hank a little more and refusing to let herself feel upset on Erik's behalf. He'd hate it. ]

I will. I think we'd both like that.

All right.

[There's a reason he replied through text, and not by calling. He knows he'll crack if he has to say the words aloud, so he chose not to. It's not his place to ruin Raven and Hank's moment of happiness. He won't reply again, even if Raven chooses to.]
