Well, they had. Sora might be much more annoyed if it hadn't worked out so well. Then again, if it wasn't working out he would have just pawned Abe off on the ladies at the Keep to care for him. Abe proved from day one that he was obedient, useful, and smart. Now he was part of the family.
"Abe protected my sister the Princess during the attack, and was extremely helpful to us throughout our stay." Thankfully the brothers survived so Sora didn't have to worry about giving him up to be the new Lord of his land. "I assume that you will want to go home with your brothers Abe? To see your Father. I'd like to accompany you to Ferndale for just a day to say hello to your Father and see if Ferndale needs anything." Riku could either come with or stay here.
"Of course I would like to ask your Father if Abe might be allowed to come live and study in Hollow Bastion. That is, if you are interested in remaining in my service Abe?" Sora was really hoping that he would say yes.
Okay, so he did get who Roxas was. Good. "Did he? I am really glad that he was able to find you. Sora and I are close, so I have known of Riku and known him since he came to Hollow Bastion." So if Corin was wondering yes, Roxas knew pretty much everything there was to know. "How long do you think that you will stay in Hollow Bastion before marching home?"
