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.

How do you not come to your science bros with this. [ he's looking at you, hank. ]

Okay there's this metamaterial called zinc dicyanoaurate that's achieved giant negative linear compressibility, which theoretically means it could be engineered to expend outwardly under pressure, and with some tinkering [ cuz everything is easy in the realm of superhero bullshit science ] shrink back, too. It's transparent but I think we can work through that -

[ ... ]

Or you could use magic, sure, magic's probably faster. [ but but but...he wants to make the cool expanding-shrinking metamaterial anyway! think of the applications! think of the fun!

he should probably comment about the engagement. and he will, as soon as he can get his brain to stop working out the problem. ]

oh my god

are you guys serious?

is this a Thing?

[ the fact that this is a text should be ominous. ]

Wear it on a necklace.

Congratulations.

I didn't think there was a science way to do this.

[ All she can do is blink, staring at him as though she's meant to understand this. Turning her head, she glances at Hank before she shakes her head. ]

I have no idea what you just said, Winn.

What do you mean a 'Thing'?

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

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

There is always a science way to do things!

[ for a second, he looks like he's about to go on another one of his long explanations -- and then he remembers that while he talked to hank he's yet to say anything to raven and there's definitely something he should be saying that won't bore her to tears. ]

I mean - congratulations, you two! As present the first I will - not bore you with the explanation.

You can talk to Hank about it.

[ Raven just watches him, a little nervous about how far he might go, before she hesitates for a moment and her expression softens. Her hand drops, fumbling with the ring on her finger, but she shakes her head. ]

I couldn't ask for anything else.

[ he smiles, and if he were talking to just hank he'd tease him here but raven earns him a pass. ]

We should toast.

Together? We don't need a party.

[ She knows you, Winn. ]

[ and he knows her and hank. ]

Just us, and whoever you want there. Potions or no potions I can't take another hangover. [ he is partied out. ]

I'm not going to ask. [ Potions? Horror. ] I'll... We'll figure something out.

Wise decision.

[ he nods. ]

Whatever it is, it better include an imminent hugging time. [ or he'll come for you unscheduled! ]

I don't mind giving up my spot. Hank makes a good cushion.

[ Now she's teasing. ]

Well done.

You're talking to Hank?

Obviously Hank came to me first, you realize.

I think I must have been the last to know.

That was the point.

[ But he softens his tone. ] But I think you always knew, didn't you?

[ Raven makes a soft noise, leaning back against Hank a little. ]

Maybe. I don't know.

[ A pause. ]

That's fair. I'm sure you'll find the answers you need.

[ All she can do is smile. She had never imagined being engaged, and now that she is... It still feels unreal. ]

Did you give your big brotherly permission?

He had to work very hard for it.

Oh, I'm sure. I can't wait to hear all about it.

[ She pauses, hesitant, before she continues. ]

Can I ask something?

Of course.
