Sora sighed with relief. Okay good. He'd still try to think of something in case he was put on the spot.
YES, Sora wanted to kiss him right NOW. But they really really had to behave. This was their chance to prove that they were well mannered adults and this could WORK. It was going to work. "Riku, you must behave. I will be all light headed all evening if you are not careful." He was only teasing. No but seriously keep those beautiful eyes to yourself!
Roxas nodded very pointedly. Good, he better like it. Roxas worked too damn hard trying to avoid inheriting the throne for it to go awry because of anyone. He was going to make sure of it. As for Riku's family coming, well he'd talk to his parents. In case there were a lot of them and his Uncle felt uneasy they stayed at the castle, maybe they could stay in the Strife's manor in town. "Well you can certainly let me know if you need anything," Roxas decided. He looked at Hayner to confirm this was a good idea.
Everyone was distracted by the arrival of their King and Queen, accompanied by their daughter, who were additionally accompanied by her handmaidens Olette and Namine. Namine felt a bit over dressed, and worried that the other servants might see her and tease or be mean. She was shy and eager to find her brothers.
Sora got up out of his seat. "Come on, we have to go down," he told Riku. To greet his family. He gave Riku's hand a tug but politely didn't walk too close and didn't hold onto it. He spotted his Aunt and Uncle, going to join Roxas and Corin. They must have arrived a few minutes ago too. Good, his whole family! Everyone was paused and waiting for the King's go-ahead.
