Riku stepped backwards from the letter as though it had bit him as the Prince stepped forwards, making Riku collide with him and then hold tightly to his shirt. "I... I'm not ready," he stammered, slightly panicked. Did Corin want to read this NOW? Was he supposed to wait for Namine? Was it just for him?
Corin tried to not look as annoyed as he felt. They'd been WAITING for this letter! Their parents finally knew that their missing children were alive and well! And Riku wasn't READY!? "They're your parents," Corin stressed. "And they've been waiting a long time to know what happened to you."
"I know, I just..." Riku shook his head. He barely remembered them. "It's a lot, Corin."
