[Sometimes the bond is more of a curse than a boon. Particularly when something he doesn't want known is transferred over. Sora's look is a knowing one and Riku dips his head upon seeing it, ears flattened. He knows he can be an absolute mess himself, ignoring self care for the needs of others.
The magic feels nice and cool and soothing on his skin, and Riku breathes out a relieved sigh. The burns don't look any better at the moment and the fur isn't coming back yet, but it no longer stings or feels tight.]
That's cause I'm not a total trouble magnet like you.
[A bit of light ribbing, covered in affection for the Puca. Since finding him again after so long, after literally no sign of his best friend on any known world, Riku's been determined to keep Sora safe and in one spot as much as he can. A desire that only has been amplified by the changes. Even though he has Riku's complete trust and faith, the older teen doesn't want to lose him again.
Ever.
So he'll take the reprimand, knowing that it's a mutual feeling.]
...Better. [Keeping his paw in Sora's lap, he kneads the teen a little.] Nice is going to be hard to find out here, you know. But we'll find a place... with some sweet grass for you.
[He might go back to nosing Sora a little.] Do you feeling any better?
