Neither of them minded, and that was the beauty of it. Solomon was always more likely to join in her tangents and theorizing, to at least listen seriously when he had nothing outright to add, and even if Bakura was still a more opaque matter in some respects he entertained her questions, the majority of the time. Neither was alarmed by her passions, nor incapable of or disinterested in keeping track of where she went.
There was a short span of quiet from her, while Raine appreciated this little home she had found all over again, and smiled softly to herself. Then she was off. "While it may not be considered one of his aspects, per se, the fact you feel it relevant enough to mention says it's an important part of that god's makeup," she pointed out. "Therefore, the opposing pairing of fidelity and infidelity does exist, and in an outright damaging way. Further, it can be said that marriage contributes to the creation of a household and home; it serves as a safe harbor, for which storms are as direct an opposition as possible, given a relatively abstract concept."
It looked like Solomon had the rest in hand -- or in shadow, as the case might be, and Raine trailed him and the bowls to the table, still thinking out loud. "Most of the summon spirits, while they do complement each other, are directly opposed and damage each other," she noted, more for Bakura's benefit than Solomon's. They'd spoken of such things before. "Hence their position as poles. Luna and Shadow are, as always, a special case, in that they are more reverses of each other than polar opposites, and Aska..." Aska was never not a problem, she reflected ruefully, and kept going. "In short, pairs manifesting in ways that are outright harmful to each other is no surprise. What of Apollo and Artemis?"
Though that question was more specifically for Solomon, who had knowledge outside the Egyptian, Raine directed a questioning look at Bakura as well, hoping for his point of view on such balances and pairings.
