At the mention of Sora, a flash of fear came over his face and he stopped in his tracks. The last thing he wanted was for Sora to hit him again. He still had a good bruise in the ribs from the other day. And considering that Namine could make him squirm, she could potentially manipulate Sora into hurting Riku worse.

But that glare wasn't the one he knew from his rare encounters from her. This one was far from intimidating. Something was very wrong. As such, while still stopped, he replied with a shrug.

"It won't matter. I'm making sure you doesn't distract me again, witch. Let's call it 'preventative measures.'"

Still, there was unease in his voice. Sora would probably find fault with him anyway. Its what he did.
