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 depends on what you think it is. [ She's not deliberately playing coy, not really, she's just... Raven. Even if she is smiling and settled back against Hank without any problem whatsoever. ]

Oh, come on. Are you marrying that nerd or what? [Said with the most possible affection for Hank.]

I think the answer is obvious. [ She lifts her left hand, wiggling her finger. ]

Congratulations. That's incredible. [And crazy. So crazy. When she tries to picture it with parts from her world her mind explodes like a deck of Remy's cards.]

It's not what anyone expected, is it? [ Both her getting married and her getting married to Hank McCoy. ]

I pretty much expected no one to get engaged today or tomorrow or probably the next day. But you two seem pretty attached, so maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention.

We've been... [ Raven pauses, glancing back at Hank even though he seems appropriately distracted. ] It's been a long time.

I'm glad you found each other. I hope you'll be very happy. [Happy people are so much less likely to turn evil, right?]

... Thank you, Kitty. It means a lot to me.

Well, sure. [She smiles softly.]

So, are there plans or is it too early for plans?

I don't think we've really thought that far ahead. This was... Almost far enough.

I think I know what you mean.

There's always the possibility of engagement party though. That's a thing, right?

[ She groans quietly. ]

Don't say those words to Winn.

You don't want people singing karaoke love songs at you?

Do I look like the love song kind of person?

I bet you could. That's some shapeshifter humor for you.

[ It manages to make her laugh aloud. ]

You've got me there.

I would have thought you were a party kind of person all on your own though.

Maybe I was, when I was younger. I wasn't really allowed to party too much.

Was Charles too strict? [Also, it's still weird you grew up like siblings just in case you were wondering.]

No alcohol. Only cola.

He was afraid you wouldn't be able to maintain your form drunk? [Or was he just super controlling?]

He didn't want me to lose control in the middle of an Oxford pub, yes.

Guess that would have been a big deal there. [It gets her thoughtful about how little of her life she had to spend concealing her power from others and how relatively easy it was to hide. She never had to worry about being blue. But this isn't really the time to get into that is it.] And this is a terrible conversation for an engagement announcement. I already said congratulations, right? [She can be normal. Totally.]

Just a little. [ But that just makes Raven laugh and she lifts a hand, waving it absently. ] You think I'm not used to this? It's fine, thank you, Kitty.
