[He would have done whatever it took to get Kairi back her heart, regardless of if he had to work for the light or the dark. Maybe he would have cared; heck, he might have even helped Sora to try and help seal some of the worlds.
But Kairi had come first, not somewhere along the way.
Riku opens his mouth to respond to Sora, what would have hopefully been a properly cutting comment--but then there's a Kairi. And while there's some part of him that knows, -senses- that it's not the Kairi on board with him (what? How are there multiple Kairis now?), it's still -Kairi- and so for that, he swallows the snipe.]
I would have figured something out.
[That doesn't mean he planned to let Sora have the last word, though.
He turns to Kairi. He won't brush it all under the rug (especially when she obviously knows that something's up), but he won't address it, either. He gives her a wry smile.]
The stupid where Riku goes "WHYYYY" over everyone being older than him, of course! :D

No, you're fine, Kairi. What's up?
