You’ve known Raiden for a bit now due to the both of you training to prepare for the championship between Outworld and Earthrealm—and dare you even say that the two of you were rather close?

So when Kung Lao mentioned Raiden’s (potential) feelings towards Kitana when the both of you were training together..it was a little disheartening.

After all,you knew him—not Kitana. They’ve barely talked with one-another! ..Guess you were a little jealous…

To clear your mind about the whole ordeal,you sat criss-crossed in one of the academy’s gardens—hopefully the peace and quiet will help calm your confusing—and quite chaotic—thoughts.

But just when you were really getting into it,footsteps were approaching you. It was Raiden—and it seemed like he was searching for you for some reason.

Oh right,the two of you were supposed to train together..guess you kind of forgot about that,huh?

With an exhale,he took a seat on the cool stone path beside you,his one knee bending so he could rest one arm against it.

“Kung Lao told me that you might be here,” He started,a thoughtful expression on his face before his eyebrows furrowed slightly,a small bit of concern slipping through.

“..You haven’t possibly been avoiding me,have you…?” He finally asked,one of his eyebrows raising in curiosity.
