[Riku listens to the two stories in silence, his expression carefully blank, at first. He's already gained the power to control the Heartless--he still had doubt? ...yeah, it's true, he supposes. No matter what, he's still wary of Maleficent, still doesn't trust her wholeheartedly. Especially what he's learned from Kairi about the princesses--it all stinks of the idea that she might be trying to lead him to ruin, instead of helping him.
And what of the older him? Does he believe in him? As Riku's telling his tale, the younger boy scowls, but the expression is quickly gone. Sora took a Keyblade and stuck himself with it? Even angry as he is at the other boy, Riku agrees with his older counterpart--he -doesn't- wish becoming a Heartless on Sora. Not now.
But the hidden meaning in Riku's last words make him frown, his expression setting.]
If you're me, you should know I won't put Kairi in danger.
[There's a small smirk beginning to come to his face. It's weird, but he feels like he can trust the guy, even in spite of how differently he's acting. He doesn't know whether the older him will pick it up--he -should-, Riku thinks--but he'll put Kairi above anything. Maybe even his grudge against Sora.
If working with Maleficent will put Kairi in danger... maybe, now that he's found her, he can take her away from the witch.]
