[ Riku watches Sora look at it with that expression, knowing that the meaning behind it is more what caused the reaction than the fact that the bracelet itself has a magical ability to save his life once. ]
Made it myself and thought the blue suited you.
[ Like the ocean, the sky, Sora's eyes... The new outfit the fairies made for him was also lacking any blue. ]
Hopefully, you don't have to rely on it too much.
[ Meaning, that he'll do his best to always be right there at Sora's side. A smile and he reaches out to gently ruffle Sora's hair. ]
You don't have to get me anything. That's the point of a surprise gift. I just knew that I'd made it for you.
[Sora has no idea that the magical bracelet has a Deathward Spell attached to it so if he does get into some serious trouble he'll be in for a very good very safe surprise!
His heart squeezes...] You made it!? That's even cooler...! Riku?!
[He's just so happy about this. He's very easy to please on most days but this is just so cool and so thoughtful.]
But even if this is a surprise spur of the moment gift, Riku, I still want to make sure I get something for you too. [What if he wants to match?] I'll make you something, you know won't know when I'm going to give it to you, okay? Heh.
[ He'll certainly find out if Sora goes to look on the current MANTA board.
That earns a smile. ] I had to make sure it suited you.
[ Most of it involved a lot of painting. ]
You know I'd like any gift you give me, Sora. And I can't really stop you if you have your heart set on it. [ Nor would he want to. They can match, too. ] Alright, I'll be totally surprised when you give me a gift.
[Sora puts the order in! A big order of delicious seafood, not just the baked oysters. A little bit of everything! They used to eat so much fresh seafood back home so this is also making Sora a bit nostalgic.]
It's been a long time since we've been able to sit and eat like this, too. I can't help it, I've got to order a lot.
[Don't worry, Sora's got a fair amount saved in his pocket to pay for it all. He wants to do it.]
[ Sora's really going all out on the food and it does remind him a bit when they'd have lunch on the play island. Sitting on the crooked tree and looking out at the water. They have a dock instead of the tree but the view is still pretty good. ]
Yeah, it has. [ Been even longer since it was just the two of them, too. ] Are you really going to be able to eat all of that?
[ They might be growing boys but still... It sounded like Sora ordered the whole menu. ]
Yeah, no problem. I've got a stomach like a bottomless pit.
[Even Sora has his limits but that doesn't mean he's not going to try and eat everything. He just wants to try everything with Riku, it'll be a fun experience.]
We could always take any leftovers back to the island, anyway.

Yeah, you better act surprised. Like you never saw it coming!
[He laughs warmly. Riku always indulges him...]
For now, I'll just have to say thanks by ordering us a lot of baked oysters for lunch.
no subject
I'll start working on my surprised faces.
[ Smiling fondly at Sora. ]
Let's get eating, then. You've got me feeling hungry with the idea of baked oysters.
