[That is the look of a man who's finished digging a grave and about to bury you in it. Knowing as little as he does about how true that really is, he's glad to see the other can get as good as he gives. He'd have to think less of Riku if he bowed too easily under pressure.
To M.K.'s rather biased perspective, everyone here seems on the soft side until proven otherwise.
But that's... not the kind of retort he'd expect, though. He's not sure it's a retort at all. He cocks his head in a show of uncertainty. His friends? The band of young people he's seen him with from time to time? Close to his own age, if he's not mistaken, and some so close in appearance they could be twins. If he's also not mistaken some are gone now (maybe explaining why Riku's here at the water's edge).]
Why?
[Why is he inviting him places, and also, why would M.K. want to do that?
And in case Riku was wondering, he's absolutely asking that while standing back and being zero help with Riku's spirit fan club. Bother your mom, kids.]
