Sora nodded along. He saw Riku's point. He was RIGHT. He had been there, all those months. It was him that decided to march out, right? He fought hard, he really did. He stared at Riku a moment. Their king? R...really? "You think they think that?" he said quietly.
He breathed in and out a few times and nodded against Riku's head. "Yes, darling." Well. He certainly wasn't going to argue with his fiance to be. He may be the people's rock, but Riku was his.
"Go with me there to the stable?" he grabbed Riku's hand and left his rooms, both guards that had been waiting just outside right on their heels. As they stepped outside, a few people were already gathering early at the gate, for certain not wanting to miss the rest of their royal family returning, as well as their noble lady friends and new Trabian friends. The crowd would grow over the hour, and the guards would come out to part them side to side. Not just inside the castle gates but outside and all along the road.
"Look how beautiful you are old friend," the Prince greeted Orion in the stable, who tossed his head just a bit.
