Lousy day… yea that's definitely a way to describe Riku's last week, not inaccurate but definitely understating it. The last week has been more than just lousy... but Riku isn't about to argue that. He's spent too much time thinking about the caves and the torture in the last few days as it is.

He listens to Axel's words without interrupting (though he snorts when the other calls himself a lousy villain, if only because well… he's seen worse), and then stays silent as he considers the offer… there isn't anything he would want Axel to bring him, or at least nothing that the other has access too… The texts at the Altar shouldn't be removed, and even if they could be borrowed, Axel would just get lost in there, probably.

But there is something else, something Axel can do…

"…You can get me out of here."

And knowing how this sounds and that he's still recovering, he adds: "Just for a little while."
