[ While in actuality she hadn't seen them that long ago, if it ever was revealed that her friends had been here for so many months prior to her showing up here? It'd be enough to have her wanting to make it up to them somehow.

That doesn't stop the touch of surprise that briefly fluttered across her features when Sora mentioned Riku, glad that he was here and was alright. Both of them were. It didn't stop the sympathetic, soft look that crossed her features as she reached up to touch against the new pendants on his necklace that she knew hadn't been there when they'd been at home. ]

I'm glad the both of you are alright, Sora. I know you guys are capable of taking care of yourselves, but there's some times I can't help but worry about you.

[ Which is a lot because Sora was a very brave, headstrong person and she didn't want him to get hurt.

She keeps the touch of her fingers light against the small pendants before drawing back, keeping her smile in place because she's well aware that those tears weren't out of sadness, but the complete opposite. ]

These are really well made. Who made this for you?

[ Kairi had an idea but she couldn't be sure just yet, a light laugh bubbling up and a sort of warm breeze blowing about them lightly in the instance that followed. A direct reflection of how happy she was at the idea Sora had suggested. ]

I'm not sure you'd want to show that off too much, Sora. Though I admit it would be a nice change since normally you and Riku are the tougher ones here.
