[ Stopping in mid-motion, he takes a moment to mentally study how he's standing, feeling the slight awkwardness of it before adjusting it so that the movements would flow better. Handling two Keyblades isn't the same as dealing with just one, a certain amount of fluidity needed as he's finding out. Wouldn't want to fumble using them while in real combat, right?

However, after a moment, there's a niggling feeling at the back of his head. As if someone were watching. And turning around, he finds that his instincts aren't so far off.

At first he just stands there, looking at Riku, debating if he should just open a corridor and leave. Their previous encounters haven't been the best after all and the mixed feelings he has about Riku continue to war on, even if half of those feelings aren't his. But, he knows he can't avoid the other forever no matter how much he wants to. They're both students under the same teacher, may even have to spar together if Aqua wants them to. If it ever comes to that, he's not sure he'd be able to restrain himself if he still has the same feelings as he does now.

Somehow they'd have to get along, how is the question right now. ]

Need something?

[ Civility, that's a start, right? ]

[Yeah... fumbling them in real combat would probably would end up kind of problematic.

Riku hesitates before replying, arms crossing over his chest in reflex sort of - for all that he is wary, he doesn't want to fight. Finally he settles for a simple shake of his head, expression somewhere between neutral and a little uncertain.]

I was just watching... unless you mind?

[Yeah... civility. It is start.]

[ His first response would be that he does mind, that the reason he picked now to train by himself is so that there isn't anybody around to watch him.

But something stops him from saying it right away, making him take a few seconds to really think about it when before he would just say what's on his mind. Maybe it's those memories and the feelings that come with them again that's stopping him like the first time he met with Riku face to face, Sora's fond memories with the other boy. Or maybe it's something else.

Maybe he just doesn't feel like fighting the other himself, now. ]

... I don't.

[ Roxas adjusts his hold on both Keyblades. Before he might have hidden his ability to wield two of them but ever since the monster attack, he doesn't see a point to doing that anymore. He needs learn anyway. ]

Just not used to someone watching, I guess.
