[Neither of them are majorly injured and it's such a relief to Riku. The burns stung and hurt, but if that's all they have to handle at the end of this, well then he'd consider them lucky.

He fumbles a little, moving an forelimbs out of the way both to give Sora some more room and also to wrap that very same limb and paw around his friend, embracing him. It's the best he can do in this body, though Sora is sure to hear and feel the rumble of a purr starting in his chest, increasing that sunny gentle warmth of their bond.

Sometimes these changes and this bond are a bit of a curse. Physical affection has never been his strongest trait but it's become increasingly familiar and easier for him here.]

Thanks. You can choose the next job though.

[He laughs, the rumbling mixing in with his voice. But taking one last look at the body before them...]

We should get going, and find somewhere safer for the time being. I packed some healing charms, so we should get you cleaned up and looked at before we head back.

[Never mind that Riku looks like a complete mess himself. Matted and stained fur, sporting his own burns, and he could really use a source of water right now to rinse his mouth out. Bleh.]
