-{I}- ”'The enemy of my enemy is my friend',” the Superior intoned mildly. ”We share a common enemy, I believe.” He quirked one snowy brow. ”Without being inducted into the Order yourself, you are not allowed to know of what we intend. I do not expect you to trust me. I would think you a fool if you did trust me that easily— do I not have the face of one of your worst enemies?” A small, small smirk. ”But I will do you no harm… as long as you do not hinder our work. Do that, and the consequences could be dire indeed.”
"The enemy of my enemy huh?" Riku asked softly, knowing exactly what that statement meant. What common enemy they shared was a matter of debate, but Riku was willing to let that stand for now. He could use allies in his fight, and if it was an unconventional direction, all the better. Still, it was good that Xemnas didn't actually expect trust, because Riku wasn't going to be trusting him any further than he could throw the man. Less so if he truly thought about it. "Dire? So be it, because the sentiment is the same on this end." His fingers tightened into fists, and his one hand came up to display his keyblade. "You'll have to face me if you place anyone I care about at risk. I've already taken a form of you out, and will be more than happy to repeat that at any point."
