Riku HAD to grin at how eager the Prince was. Wasn't he simply adorable? Who could resist that demand when accompanied by such enthusiasm?
"Sorry, Terra," Riku said, scoping the cat up into his arms to cuddle for a moment before relocating her on the floor. She shouldn't be so lazy anyway.
"Alright," Riku said, sitting down in the cat's vacated spot, turning his back to the Prince. "I'm ready." He really loved to let the Prince brush and play with his hair. There was something so soothing about it. "Corin says my hair is very short, for a Trabian man," Riku said conversationally to the Prince, "But I told him that we'd already decided this length worked best for me." Not too long, but long enough to be different.
