[ riku's waiting outside the observatory as he said, hands pushed into his pockets with tense, raised shoulders.
the subject of riku having copious amounts of knowledge that he probably shouldn't have has always been a sore subject to him. he's always loved having surplus knowledge, being smart, being the knowledgable one, but as time wore on and sora was all over the place, he found that it felt a lot less good, letting his friend go around without a lot of the concrete facts. if sora knew all the sides to the story, maybe he'd think before swinging. it certainly paused riku's blade more times than he could count.
it was probably why he ran out of time, concerning roxas.
riku was starting to realize he liked sharing the information more than just having it. he hated just holding onto it; it felt like a burning coal that he couldn't pass off, and the more he wanted to, the more distant sora was. he couldn't catch up to him, they almost never had time alone to talk, and it was more and more frustrating to see his friend go off without everything he knew. if riku had been able to tell him... maybe the mastery exam would've resulted in two masters instead of one. he knew sora deserved that much. ]
