Roxas nodded a little. Well, Riku's head seemed to be in the right place. That was the goal, to create a healthy dependent, independent relationship.
"Thank you." Roxas replied. He didn't feel a hundred perfect confident, he didn't quite know Riku well enough, but he wanted to trust that he'd take care of Sora.
"I will stay here," Roxas replied. "And give my input at the war meetings. If leadership lacks in the field, I will go out. I know I am young but we have been at war since I was born, I have been educated well. If the invasion comes to our doorstep, I will fight to defend the castle. It very much depends on what happens." Anyway, his life could easily be in danger.
