[She will grunt on contact and, not expecting it, hit the floor. Bowled over by a random Sora. That totally just completes her day.]

[he groans as he pushes himself up, rubbing his head with one hand and... wait why is his other on something squishy. he looks down, where his hand is splayed across Riku chest. his face goes through a myriad of reactions as understanding dawns on him, before turning a deep, deep, red and he yanks his hand away.]

Riku! Don't kill me!

[Riku doesn't react at first, going through a silent mantra in her head. I must not maim Soras. I must not maim Soras.

She shoves him instead, quickly pulling herself up. The silent treatment is in effect.]

[he tumbles right over, scrambling to stand and- well, try not to stare.]

A-are you okay?

[She's brushing herself off, and would've offered him a hand if he hadn't been scrambling, despite the weak glare she turns on him.]

I'm fine. Where's the Heartless?

[he turns to look, but all there is in the hall now is... little green balls?]

It was right behind me...

It's gone.

[... Riku will give Sora another shove in their direction. He can have them.]

[flails as he's shoved, doing some fancy footwork there to avoid stepping on any]

H-hey! What was that for!

[She tilts her head at his reaction, looking pretty amused.]

To see what would happen. Or maybe because you put your hand on my chest. Pick one.

[that just makes him sputter]

It's not like I meant to! There was this blue fire stuff that came out of nowhere!

[Will he scream if her hand suddenly bursts into blue flames?]

[not quite, but he does flail pretty well to go along with that yelp!]

Gyah! Riku!

[And with a quick wave of her hand, it's gone! It's like magic.]

[his mouth closes with a click of his teeth, looking at Riku in a whole new light.]

... Do that again!

[She makes a funny, confused face, but shrugs and does so. Clearly, this Sora is from a world without magic. She doesn't mind demonstrating.]

[indeed, he and magic have never been introduced.]

How can you do that and not burn your hand?

[...she's. never had to explain this before.]

It's a part of me, and I'm controlling it. That, and it's not a normal fire.

[there's a first time for everything, right? he's reaching out with his own hand now]

That's pretty neat.

[And so she makes it disappear again.]

It can be.

[he ends up touching her hand instead, poking a little.]

Huh. Your hand isn't even hot.

It wouldn't be. I told you, it's not that kind of fire.

[What is your fascination with my body, Sora?]

[do the words mature and adult beauty sound familiar?]

You must be pretty strong, to take care of a monster that easily.

[Shhhh I have no idea what you're talking about. She waves her hand at that, then moves it to her pockets like the other one]

Those are nothing compared to some Heartless.

Some heartless what?

... Those monsters you're talking about have a name. They're called Heartless.
