[Admittedly that's exactly what makes Sora himself – the care that he shows for his friends and the carelessness with that he let's his emotions show, and maybe latter is something that Riku wants to emulate just a little. Be a little Sora-esque, so to speak.]

Well, that ought to teach you about taking any unannounced naps yourself, I'd say.

[Because there had been a couple of times that Riku hadn't quite known if Sora would wake again either.

This time, when Sora throws his arms up for another hug, Riku is more prepared (it also helps that they are already sitting down). He lets his arms come up to hug Sora back and for a second he considers just answering with the straightest face and "What exam?".

He discards the thought quickly though; he supposes he can let Sora off easy on this one. Especially since they have important things to talk about anyway. Aqua's story… even if Riku was the one saved at the end, there is no denying that they couldn't have closed the Door to Darkness without her. Sora has a right to know about this too.

So…]

Yea, I passed. And while I have no idea what you've been doing since leaving the Tower, I already got my first official assignment as Keyblade Master done.

[…Granted, that assignment was to fetch Kairi, so that Yen Sid can ask her about becoming a full-fledged Keybearer, but Sora doesn't need to know that just yet. There is always a little time for teasing after all.]
