[ Well, no more coughing ice shards is an improvement. He doesn't lower his hand just yet. ]
I won't.
[ It wouldn't help anyone - not Riku, or Sora, or Squall, or himself - to bring something like this to light and make Riku cough more ice, thereby stalling any conversation that was happening anyway. ]
It's not like Squall makes it any easier to talk to him than you do.
[ That burning question of What does Sora even see in him? has still not been answered to his personal satisfaction, although now the obvious echo of his feelings in Riku makes him wonder if those feelings too - the ones he had for Sora - were ever as sincere as he'd believed. Maybe Sora could tell before Arden that that was the case. Maybe that's why friendship is more comfortable after all. ]
But just because I don't say anything doesn't mean Sora won't ask you about it sometime. If that time comes and you can't talk to him about it... well, if you can tolerate me more than you can tolerate Squall, maybe you'll find me one of these days instead of the other way around.
