Lev hadn't resisted the bucket. It wasn't directly unpleasant, and he didn't sense malicious intent behind it. He had considered that it may be seen as a social faux-pas but he was too intrigued with what Mars's intentions were that he didn't want to interrupt him. As long as he didn't attempt to pour the water onto him. Lev had very thoroughly cleaned his surgical tools and if they were contaminated so soon by something in the water he would find it hard to restrain himself. Besides Mars seemed to be ready to resist any attempts at moving the bucket, so trying to push away would hardly have been productive. 

Lev looked on with amusement and interest as Mars proceeded to deposit the content over Nera, who had just arrived. Not exactly the best way to make first impressions. He really hoped that they would be able to reach the dark continent without a fight breaking out among the team. It was nice to have someone like Mars, someone more unpredictable, but he hoped for the team's sake that Nera was more mature than him. It was then that it occurred to Lev that everyone had arrived. 

"OK everyone's here now, so listen up." Lev barked, his voice rising for the first time. "We're going to board the ship now, so get rid of the child Mars, before I have to." Lev's voice lowered to an amplitude he was sure only the gathered party members would hear.

"When we reach the Dark continent we'll be split into two teams. Take some time to get to know one another. Getting to know each other's abilities wouldn't be a bad idea either. Remember I'll be around if you have any questions about our mission. Without further ado here are the teams:
 Team 1: Me (Dr. Lev Oborin), Mars Mondelez, Ivy K Raven
 Team 2: Marko, Zaphyr Nowack, Nera Thyne
Let's get going people." Lev's voice was filling with excitement as he spoke, speeding up as adrenaline pumped around his body. 
"Oh and Nera, each room has it's own shower, feel free to make use of it whenever." Lev added absent-mindedly.
