[Riku's wearing a little bittersweet half-smile after her words, though. He can't deny that he's glad Kairi's learning how to defend herself, but he doesn't like the thought that it's because he wasn't there to protect her. He watches Kairi's guards, stepping into the position opposite her. As she's moving into the next guard he brings up his sword just as slowly, finding the appropriate attack position and making to give her the attack lightly. He may not be an expert in the quarterstaff, but still--giving her something to defend against may make things a little bit easier.
He gives her a half-shrug, a wry smile. He's made an assumption by stepping in, but he won't continue unless it's cool with Kairi.]
