[Riku watched Roxas as the nobody backed off, regaining some ground between them. For the moment, he simply stood his ground and just listened. Quiet with that same thin expression. Always so unreadable and yet expressing a certain distinct, grim certainty. Knowing far too much for how young he really was. That was honestly that best way to describe it.
He took one step forward, shouldering Soul Eater for the moment. Perhaps a cocky move but then Riku had always seemed to carry an abundance of confidence for the abilities he possessed. But unlike his younger self, he held no smirk like he might have back on the islands. His posture alone honestly attested enough though, probably.]
Without you and her, my best friend still sleeps.
[And then he was pointing Soul Eater-- no, not Soul Eater anymore but Way to the Dawn. Was it just a trick of the place they were at? Or had he even had Soul Eater to begin with? Perhaps the only thing that attested to that still was the injury that was still 'bleeding' mist from his midsection. Not that Riku seemed phased by that.]
Come on now. Tell me, Roxas. What would you do if she slept without me?
/o/ And I finally get back to you in turn.
