No.
[ He's hurt and frustrated and Riku's told him all kinds of things that he already heard about from the time under that blindfold. If Sora couldn't get through to him, then kind words from a friend won't do it.
He doesn't pull his keyblade or transform into his Dark Mode outfit or start summoning Zexion's powers - he'll wait for Riku to initiate that kind of thing. Whatever happens, he's just trying to get Riku to think about everything he told Arden just now - how Sora's happy, but Riku's mad about it; how he raised a hand to strike Arden away from Sora; how he can't seem to understand that people can interact pleasantly without being best friends. He sounds like a hypocrite right now and Arden hates it with the passion of someone who's made similar mistakes, not that he can tell Riku that-- or maybe he can? He choked the words down before... to what end? ]
