Riku followed along behind, staying in tow most of the way. Based on the little quirk to his smile, he seemed to like that. It would be good practice for the future if her curiosity should peak over something. Should she ever want to explore, he imagined, she could lead him where ever she desired, and he'd be right there for her.
But that would be for another time. As soon as they got near the others, Riku gave her hand a brief squeeze before letting his fingers slip through hers. Should she look back, he'd give her a smile and motion with his chin for her to continue. She'd be fine.
Still, he had a job to do. Riku swam over to the low dive before hauling himself out of the water. He climbed out of the pool to go sit and watch from the low dive. At worst, he could easily slip into the water from there should something happen. At best, he got a good view to watch.
Yes, he's playing life guard. XD
