I was worried. [Riku never put it to words, so Fitz's pointed remark about Sora being "safer" with someone else could sting more. It still does. He's not about to let anyone know what happened to Sora, but there lies a risk in it. Riku nearly died several times in the Land of Darkness. Just because he didn't doesn't mean he wasn't risking his life.
That last go around—it really was Sora showing up that kept him alive. Kept him safe. They could combine their powers and do what was needed.]
But I knew if we did things the right way, we'd get out fine. [A beat, where he looks closely at Sora.]
That you'd be fine. Now that we're out here, I'm worried about what it means for them. We're fine. But them? [Did they lose their powers and strength like Sora did that time? How does someone ask that?]
