Raiden watches Water, eyes transfixed as she and Kaylin speak to each other. He's not even watching the screen with Marcus anymore, and has no idea when the video actually stops. Even when Water leaves and Kaylin speaks to the blank screen there is a glossy stare from Raiden to the spot where Water had stood. Perhaps it was his brother's influence to make him so susceptible to the surprise appearance of Water, or maybe he is feeling the lack of connection to others between planets. In the very least he understands her comments about the sterility of the ship.
"Suijin." He whispers the name, his voice low enough it's almost a hushed sound before he blinks, Kaylin's curses finally drawing him out of his somewhat shocked state. The light in his eyes focuses from it's thousand-yard, diffuse glow as he looks back to her. No, this form of Water was not Suijin's lost immortal soul, but it felt strangely warming to sense one of the elements Earthrealm had lost so long ago. His posture straightens, hands falling to his side as he offers her an apologetic bow of his head, lowering his eyes briefly.
"I did not mean to interrupt. I have learned we will be visiting another realm shortly, and I wished to invite you to join me when we are allowed to disembark. Fujin will likely be in attendance, and we would be honored to host your Water spirit, if you wish to help us in our task."
