His ears might twitch forward just the slightest bit before she speaks. The manticore has been trying damn hard not to have these extra, inhuman parts display his nervousness to her.]
...Hey.
[Riku's equally quiet, with a slight lop-sided smile on his face. It's not necessarily a relief to see her here, and he's not happy when he's aware of what this place does to all of them.

...Yeah. It's not like what we might be used to.
[A beat and he nods lightly to her, his tails moving just slightly against his wishes.]
You okay...?
