For someone with so much experience fighting now, he's still easy to scare, and though it hadn't been Riku's intention, not when he'd walked directly too him, it's almost... cute. Sort of. A lot of things had changed between them since their plans to leave the island, and he couldn't pinpoint exactly where they stood. Sora seemed so different now. The same as always but changed too. ]
Even heroes need a break sometimes. [ Which is what this feels like. ] Just relax.
[ Not that he's anymore relaxed than the other boy, but the advice sounds good. Hopefully, it'd put Sora at ease a little, and it wouldn't be weird bringing up what he wants to say. For now, Riku settles on teasing him and reaches over to lightly pull at his hair. Maybe this is just as weird, trying to pretend that nothing's happened to alter their friendship, but it's the only thing he has. ] You remember how to do that, right?
