"But...what gifts...?" Liu Kang could only continue to pout and wriggle some more. Goosebumps were already beginning to climb up his skin, making it all the harder for him to want to let Raiden go.
But, in the end, he was still much too weak to fight much. A tiny whine escaped the boy as he was laid out on his back, followed by another distressed little noise when he realised that he was going to be very much on his own in the water.
Panic gripped his chest.
"B-but...!"
'Daddy...!' Part of him wanted to cry, but just about clamped down on before it could escape his lips.
No...no, he was not a helpless baby...! And despite his gaze still fixed on Raiden...he was going to prove this...!
Somehow...!
Raiden wanted him to float, right? Well...alright then. He'd let himself float...hell, maybe he'd be able to swim...!
