[ It doesn't take long for Raven to find Winn, and she grins, rushing up to wrap her arms around him from behind. She's... Definitely been influenced by the device, not that she's entirely consciously aware of it. ]

Winn! Hi. [ She smiles, stepping back. ] How are you?

[winn]

Oh - [ he jumps a little as she caught him off guard, but smiles and turns, and you know what, if she's in a hugging mood he's going to hug right back! ]

Hi Raven - you're in a good mood!

[athru]

Is that a bad thing? [ She raises her eyebrow, leaning back and watching him for a moment. ] I don't have a reason to be upset right now.

[winn]

Of course not, it's got good right there in the title!

[ he loves seeing her happy, and he's always a fan of hugs ] Don't jinx it.

[athru]

I'm not jinxing anything. [ Her nose wrinkles and she shakes her head. ] I just feel like I have energy to burn.

[winn]

It was a - joke. Are you sure you're feeling alright?

[ she's acting kinda weird, he's not sure how to take it. is this a glitch? feels too harmless to be a glitch...oh shit he just jinxed it didn't he. ]

[athru]

... Yes?

[ Though she does frown a little, stopping to just... Think for a moment. ]

I'm just... Happy.

[winn]

[ he smiles warmly at that, hey, that makes sense. she's engaged! that's plenty reason to be happy, he'll be over the moon if he and kitty ever get somewhere stable enough for that. ]

Happy's good. I'm happy for you.

[athru]

[ She's giddy happy, which is a very different kind of happy for her. She might question it if she wasn't just so... Content. ]

Any thoughts on the ring yet?

[winn]

A whole bunch, actually. I just need to work on some equipment, first, and also figure out some stuff that's been baffling physicists for generations, no big deal.

[athru]

No big deal. [ Raven just smiles, incredibly fond. ] Hank's going to lose his mind over it.

[winn]

It's gonna be great. [ the shittiest of shitty grins. ]

[athru]

If you can't make it work... [ Now she's teasing. ]

[winn]

[ he holds a hand to his heart ]

So little faith! I'm wounded, Raven.

[athru]

[ That makes her laugh even harder, nose wrinkling. ]

I'm only messing with you.

[winn]

[ it's definitely weird to see her reacting like that, but you know, it's a good kind of weird. he beams back at her even as he pretends to scold. happiness is infectious, ok! ]

Some things you don't joke about.

[athru]

As long as Hank can wear the ring I'm happy.

[winn]

Trust me, wearables I got down.

[athru]

I think I can trust a professional with this, you're right.

[winn]

If you can't trust a professional, and you can't trust a friend, and you can't trust someone who's both -- then that really sucks, so yeah, just trust me.

[athru]

I've never had any reason not to trust you, Winn.

[ Which, considering it's Raven... ]

[winn]

As long as it's up to me, that's not gonna change.
