As Lea recounted his tale, he tilted his head, doing as he said and carefully settling next to him when he was done.
"Sounds nice," he admitted, stirring his noodles to follow what Lea was doing. Of the few things he still kept in mind when he was out and about from home--he knew to follow what the host was doing and how they were eating, when he was elsewhere. Whatever Lea did (within reason), he'd do. He almost opened his mouth to say something else, to try and contribute to the discussion--and thought better of it. What could he say? DiZ didn't like him hanging around on other worlds unless he had to. Riku wasn't supposed to be out, and he always tried to come back quickly to make sure everything was in order.
And then, there were days Riku could barely get out of bed from the guilt pressing on his chest.
It was probably best not to share that with Lea. "Maybe we'll get to go sometime."
