Serafina was well aware of that almost amused glimpse that was settled in the corners of her familiar's lips. A soft huff left the young woman's lips in retaliation and yet, she was hardly truly aggravated. Rather, that potion she was on the brink of figuring out kept her spirits rather ecstatic all the same. She was all too pleased to show Raven what she had been laboring over for the greater part of the day, the witch entirely certain that it would work this time. She had gotten close last time, a few tweaks the only thing that was required. That assertion that her friend should have her fingers crossed, however, caused a warm simper to cross her lips as Raven made an effort to do just that. Her own hand raised to reveal her own fingers crossed before the girl turned abruptly, to toss that vial with the same strength against that corner with that shattered glass. Her attention was entirely intent as that glass exploded into a pink, glittered smoke. "Come on...." She uttered softly to herself, waiting with baited breath before that first flutter of that butterfly came into view. It was only once the room was near filled with those magical creatures that the woman found herself relaxing against that work bench. Her own hand reached out, easily swatting at one only to watch it suddenly poof into smoke at her rather abrupt contact with it. It was utterly perfect. She had done it!

"You think so?" Serafina inquired at that insistence that this little glimpse of more innocent magic might sell quite well for her. Truly, she hadn't thought that anyone might want something like this. It was such a purposeless potion, something for vanity rather than any real use. It was a project she had taken on simply because it had baffled her exactly when she'd seen someone else do it and yet, now that she had figured it out, she was already considering the ways it might be adapted. "Hm....I could probably do something like...fireflies with these....or even like phoenixes or something neat." She commented, more to herself then her companion. Her stormy gaze slowly turned towards that basket, the woman nodded ever so slightly, hardly concerned by that sudden moving of objects upon her work bench. She knew well that Raven would be careful of those herbs that she brushed aside. Besides, anything that might have interacted with anything else had already been used. Presently, they were merely little more than herbs and oils and glitter. That question of her latest work, however, prompted little more than a shrug from the woman. "Not much that's very fun. I did figure out a way to make an ink that can make a temporary tattoo that moves. It's kinda neat I suppose." It wasn't often that Serafina was given requests that were fun by any means. They did come, sometimes, but they were rare.

The witch settled at that chair before her bench, simply watching as that basket opened and the contents began to make their way onto the opened space. Her eyebrows rose ever so slightly at the sight of that sushi that was spread out before her as those lids began to come off. She certainly hadn't anticipated this sort of meal though, Raven was certainly far more of a...worldly cook then Serafina herself was. Throw her in front of an open flame with wild game and she could cook circles around her friend but things like...this were out of her realm to even consider. "Hm..." She commented idly, eying that fish in front of her. She reached out, slowly picking up a piece of that tuna placed ever so delicately upon that rice. Well....it looked...normal? Ish? A small shrug crossed her shoulder before she placed it in her mouth, chewing thoughtfully. How....curious. She swallowed that fish a few moments later, those stormy eyes glanced upwards at her companion. "It's not half that bad. Good job, Raven." Even so, Serafina was well aware that it wasn't often she received things such as this. Something was up, even if she wasn't certain of what. "Sooo.....why are you in such a good mood today?" She inquired, picking up another piece of sushi without missing a beat.
