[ There's a part of Riku that wants to snap at Arden- how can you possibly get it? But... he doesn't. Not just for Sora's sake but because Arden hasn't really done anything to warrant such a response from him, even if they're still not... 'friends' or whatever it is that Sora wants for them.
Letting things out, however, is by no means the sort of thing that Riku has much experience with, bottling things up and allowing them to be ignored and/or suppressed for however long it takes is more his style. Though, with this world and the penchant it has for allowing those hidden emotions to make themselves known in a physical sense, well, it's a lot more difficult for him to conceal and as such, a soft tch falls from his lips at the suggestion.
It's more that he's annoyed with himself letting Arden see how badly this is affecting him. ]
No. [ The word comes with a brief glance over his shoulder back to Arden. ] I'll help take Sora.
