"You should've seen what that wetsuit hooked up to," he shoots back, competitive without being overbearing. He still hasn't talked to anyone about Jaegers - no one who didn't already know about them, anyway. How do you describe a Jaeger and properly convey what they are, what they mean? Raleigh knows his job was important, but removed from that world, he isn't always so sure how to make anyone else know.
But Faye asks, and hell, he wants to try. He misses the life, as hard as it was. He misses Gipsy, misses his copilot... misses all of it, more than he likes to admit. Being a pilot had been his life.
He comes up closer, hands shoved into his jacket pockets as he looks up at Faye. "It wasn't anything like this, though. It was, uh, bigger, for one." So maybe that's an understatement. "Huge mecha. Called her Gipsy Danger. We took her up, once or twice, though. Jaegers weren't really meant for sustained flight, though. She looks like she's fun to handle, though." He indicates Red Tail. Talking about himself - his Jaeger, anyway - feels strange.
