Serafina could hardly help the soft snort that left her lips at the sheer notion of those ebony ravens becoming something of a calling card for the woman's presence. The theatrics of such were far more flamboyant than the usual demure woman seemed to prefer and, frankly, she sincerely doubted such vials would be put to use in such a fashion. Still, Raven seemed to be in such a good mood that the young witch hardly saw a reason to ruin it with reality, the girl merely instead agreed with a small bob of her head. "You could." She replied, flopping back on that wooden stool with a soft sigh. She'd been so diligently working on crafting those butterflies as it was that now she found herself almost tired from the magic she had coaxed to life, and thus, expended from her own internal stores. She hardly complained, however, not when Raven had brought lunch for her. The action alone was enough to bring a sense of suspicion. In fact, all of this was rather peculiar and atypical of her relationship with her familiar thus far. For the moment, Serafina was simply inclined to watch the woman with marked cynicism as Raven cleared her workbench and set out those very containers of that freshly cut fish.

It hardly took much prying and prodding, however, before the truth of Raven's visit to come pouring from her lips with such clear excitement as that hand was quickly extended to her. Her fingers reached out for it as the young woman inspected that ring, only to provide her companion with a small utterance of approval. Really, the simple ring did suite the woman quite well, her fiance had done quite the good job. Her eyebrows rose ever so slightly in judgment at that sudden insistence that her significant other had bought the ring rather than stolen it. "I wasn't aware he tended to steal things." She responded in a rather blunt fashion. After all, Serafina had only ever met the leopard once, quite a long time ago before, she was sure, Raven and him had been an item at all. He'd been running around with some Hispanic girl at the time but the encounter was so brief it was hardly even worth mentioning. How big of an accomplishment purchasing a ring was for the man was wholly lost upon the young witch. Still, Raven seemed happy all the same and so, Serafina was hardly inclined to intervene with any further word of disappointment on the fellow. Quite on the contrary, it was that simple utterance of 'yes', that fell from her lips near immediately afterward.

That near girlish squeal saw her gaze widen as Raven quite near launched herself at her in an enthusiastic embrace, one that left the witch standing there in surprise before slowly shifting to return it. Those soften whispered words cause her forehead to wrinkle ever so slightly, her lips pressing together and yet, Serafina was almost unsure of what to respond with. She had never been the terribly emotional time, the girl often more inclined to simply close herself off entirely to such feelings. That wasn't to say she did not feel them but...this sharing of such sentimental words were not her forte, particularly when their relationship was rife with rockiness. "Um....don't worry about it." The girl responded with a small shrug, only to release her companion but a few moments later. Her attention turned near immediately back towards the food in front of her. She plucked those eating utensils from her workbench only to pick another piece of that sushi and shove it into her mouth.

Her steel-blue eyes fluttered towards her companion as Raven dug through her phone, looking for something. She hardly expected it to be passed towards her only to be rewarded with pictures of the newly engaged couple all dressed up for photos. The pair certainly cleaned up nicely, she supposed. Her fingers flicked over the screen, filtering through them all. "You both look really happy, you're a beautiful couple, Raven." She responded with those words she knew she was supposed to say, handing that phone back. Really, they hardly looked any different to her than any other newly engaged couple - all sickeningly sappily staring into each other's eyes and all that. She'd seen it hundreds of times before and rolled her eyes at that sort of behavior a thousand times over. Thank God Azrael didn't expect anything like that from her. Still, she wasn't the type to spoil such a happy occasion for her friend, the woman instead content to keep her thoughts to herself as she listened to those plans for that wedding. Her head bobbed slowly, "Sure, just let me know when you want to go dress shopping. There's quite a few boutiques in the East and some fancier ones in the North." The woman responded before putting another piece of sushi in her mouth. Hell, if someone else was paying they might as well see what those richer stores had to offer, right?
