Riku's thoughts drifted off through the last part of Sora and Leon's conversation, so he caught onto the gist of it. At Leon's last words he looked up, his aquamarine eyes finding Sora immediately. "I agree. Kairi's waiting," he said, a faint smile showing at the thought of the redhead. Sora was surely excited to see her, after so many months away.
Goodnight!
Riku heard the conversation, but didn't really pay attention, regardless of the fact that it involved his two best friends. There was still a lot he didn't know about Nobodies and the Heartless, even if he had been fighting them for a long time. The King had more experience, so perhaps he would know of certain subjects Riku was unclear of.
More Than A Memory - Hoobastank
Yup. Speaking of, I won't be on until like 5-ish my time tomorrow. I'm a little busy tomorrow, have a few things to do.
Riku kept his eyes on Leon, curious as to what was going to be said next, but he got the vibe that he wasn't involved in the conversation. Instead, he crossed his arms and lowered his sight to the ground, retreating to his thoughts. He needed to confront the King not only on the Heartless, but also Ansem the Wise. His computer gave him some information, but he still felt there was some stuff missing. He felt the King would know.
Yeah, that could work. Like, Sora could be over at Namine's talking to her about the problem possibly, because things are still sour between him...
Riku nodded once more in respect and appreciation at Leon's words. He wasn't sure how long it would be until he went home, wherever that was--with his friends in New York, or back to Destiny Islands. Regardless, this would remain his safe haven, as well as Disney Castle, which he would visit next to speak with the King. He wasn't done yet, but something told him this opportunity was enough to convince him Sora's time was up.
Light Outside - Wakey!Wakey!
Maybe we can sleep on it and figure it out later. But we do have to decide if we want to do this before the Prince event. =/
Riku looked at Sora for a little longer, and by his friend's silence, he knew that his decision to stay behind was final. He turned his head to look to Leon. "Thanks for letting us know," he said with a nod. It was not only a relief to know that they could go home, but also that the Heartless threat wasn't as ugrent as before.
Almost Everything - Wakey!Wakey!
But wouldn't this whole thing involve his and Namine's relationship as well??
"And the King said himself that they were under control," Riku replied calmly, looking down at his best friend. "He'll be the first person to know if things get out of hand, and once that happens, he'll contact both of us if the situation is too serious." Riku shrugged. "If it's not that bad, he'll just let me handle it. I'll already be here." He knew that the King wouldn't ask Sora to leave home if it wasn't necessary, and surely Sora realized the same thing.
Unbreakable - Fireflight
True. When I found the idea, I read over it and thought that if any Keyblades were to be summoned, it would pose as a threat, not trigger an...
Riku's arms fell to his sides as he nodded. "You're going home, though," he declared. "I'm not letting you miss this opportunity, especially if it doesn't come around again." He knew what it was like to be fighting without this kind of news; he didn't want Sora fighting any longer. He'd been away from Kairi long enough. "Besides, I was by myself for a while before you and Roxas showed up. I'll be fine."
Well, I mean, back when Roxas was dealing with his memories and stuff, it was really a big deal that on top of discovering who he really was, he...
"I still have some things to do," Riku said, moving his gaze over to Sora. "That includes going to see the King myself." Plus, he didn't feel like he really had a home anymore; his friends were on another world and he hadn't been to Destiny Islands in a very long time. Of course, he wasn't about to tell Sora that.
