[There was a loud squeal when Ana took the ring. Amusingly rather than Peola, it came from Salwah who had the decency to look quite embarrassed. Monika pat her on the shoulder reassuringly... Peola couldn't help but smile at the sight, shaking her head and realizing who was present. On one hand... she knew that the old woman present was a self absorbed old crone in need of a good whack upside the head... yet on the other...]
Ah... So you must be Ana's Grandmother. I've heard about you. I am sorry for the abruptness of my proposal to your brave, kind and wonderful granddaughter. She really has been one of my closest friends here on Earth and I truly am glad she accepted...
[It was equal parts true emotional honesty and flipping the hag off. The princess curtsied as elegantly as you pleased, but the curl of her lips and the tone of her voice betrayed exactly what she knew... not to mention she most certainly remembered a certain incident from when Ana was still a member of the Unity Group. In fact... she motioned to one of the guards, who bowed their head and moved away to retrieve something]
Your presence here is actually very convenient because I was arranging for a suitable gift to be delivered to you. My little sister helped me to choose it.
[There was the scent of brine and fish in the air as the guard returned. It was a very ugly looking thing, large and slimy too. With little ceremony the guard tossed the fish at Grandma Racik's feet. Needless to say... the old woman and her aides would probably be going back to their car with a foul odor.]
It isn't coffee but I hope you cherish it. Because I know I'll certainly do so with Ana.
[Without missing a beat, Peola wrapped an arm around her fiancee and held her close - simply hammering the nail home of just how much the petty and pointless antagonism had just cost Ana's Grandmother. Ourania wiped a tear from her eye, clearly proud of her older sister's flawless execution.]
