Sora would definitely defend Riku however he could, but he couldn't deny that in Riku's worst moments, he had let that darkness in and it had taken him over...even caused him to destroy his home. If Terra had the same kind of darkness, maybe it could've happened to him, too.

Still, Sora didn't necessarily want to jump to that conclusion yet...especially not since Ven was looking really upset about it. He wanted to make sure that these two got along!

"I mean...it doesn't really matter right now if that happened at all. Terra's here, and he's fine. He never mentioned anything about Xehanort trying to do that. And we defeated both Xehanort's Heartless and Nobody...and he never mentioned anything about Terra, Ven, or anyone. So, no matter what happened, it must've all turned out okay, right?" He hoped that this would allay Ven's fears some, and maybe get Roxas to back off, at least for now.
