riku pauses, his gaze finally shifting over toward hiro. part of him wants to say now isn't the time for asking that, but who is he to judge what is and isn't right? if hiro wants to know then why not? maybe a little casual conversation right now could do some good. mind made up, he lifts the keyblade a little so that hiro could get a better look.]
You nailed it with the last one. It's called a Keyblade; it gives me the strength I need to protect not only myself, but others, too.
[it gives him the strength he so long desired. part of him still questions whether or not he's worthy to wield it after everything that's happened, but questioning worth won't prevent him from doing what needs to be done. when a kid is clutching a burnt corpse while monsters run around nearby? yeah, protecting said kid is gonna happen without much of second thought.]
