[Knowing that he'll grow and tower over both Sora and Kairi again -is- a faint relief in the back of his mind, yes. But Riku's more concerned with both of these newcomers and their apparent dislike of one another--hey, don't just start this sort of standoff without any explanation!
So Riku pipes up, folding his arms over his chest. He sounds disdainful, but the older!him at the very least should know that that's just how he reacts to situations like these.]
Hold on. Why don't the two of you explain what's going on here, first?
[Yeah, yeah, he knows they're likely to still be at odds, and that either of their stories might be the "wrong one," but he can still pick up a few things even from that. And that's better than not understanding anything like he does now, though he can certainly venture a couple guesses.]
