[Sora lets go of Riku and walks along. He tilts his head and a finger scratches his cheek.]

It's been a rough few months for you here and I just wanted to say sorry because I know it's a lot. I know everyone was pretty excited to meet you and all.

[And sure as anything he's expecting Riku to say something like "Your friends are annoying." So he's just being preemptive about it.]
