[Sora lets out a playful puff of laughter at all of Riku's animated reactions. He was pretty good at reading Riku's reactions to things before but it's so much easier to note these little things now that Riku is part cat. These little movements happen now like Riku's ears flickering or his tail swishing or the telltale way his cheeks change colour. Sora thought that Riku looked good before but now that he's been given all these cat-like traits Sora can't help but like teasing and tickling him, even more, these days.]

I dunno, you're the one that agreed to bonding with me. So now you're stuck with me for a while. And that means I'm the boss.

[A bond he wouldn't trade for the world. And despite his words, he'd never actually be bossy. Which he proves with the way his long soft ears twitch as Sora listens for noises in the distance.]

There's a deer drinking from the river just up ahead. And ... [...Hmmm.] There's a quiet patch where all the birds have left just that way. Something must of scared them away.

[Sora points. That's a good hint, right? Creatures scare innocent birds away.]
