He can't help but let out a small sigh of relief when Riku stands down and offers those words. At least that was one fire settled in all this madness, but he can't help but look to Vanitas when he see's their face. The darkness cast across their face, that glint of hate in their eye? It's enough to give Elden the impression that this kid was definitely not on the up and up...

and the fighting and bickering with people wasn't helping their case.

He's easily moved though when Vanitas knocks into him. Elden frowns, taking a slight step beside Riku as he watches the other storm off. "He's not exactly the friendliest guy is he?"
