[He doesn't respond for a moment, but he couldn't help but feel some comfort by those words. Yet letting go, when there's still so much work to be done...]
What happens if you can't. [There's no arrogance, he just really doesn't know what he would do if those he loves see him like this. After all they'd done for him, and he still relied on it...]
You don't even know me, yet you still offer this... [To say that he's in shock is to understate the fact. While it's true that the King had always been there to do the same back home, he...
He didn't expect someone else to offer it, let alone someone who didn't know him. There has to be a catch, right?] ...Why?
Because that is what I do. I help people. I realize that you have flaws, but...you have the chance to be redeemed. And there is nothing more that I want than to guide you through that.
[There are no catches when it comes to Jacob. He's benevolent like that.]
[Does he really deserve it, though? He's silent for a moment, as if contemplating it. He wants it; wants to return to the light so badly he can almost taste it. Yet floating here, with this monster attached to his shadow as it fends off the attacks of the kraken for him...]
... I can't; not yet. This fight isn't over, and until it is... I may still need the power of darkness.
[It's silent on his end aside from the sounds one would think of accompanying a fight to make it obvious that he hasn't hung up. Does he truly deserve that name anymore when his face says something else entirely?]

A guardian... [That could mean so many things in his world, like the being that just moved ahead of him to block an attack from the front. He just doesn't know what to think about it.]
Then you do whatever it takes to find that hope again. And if you can't, you rely on the people you love to bring you out of the darkness.

Be in the darkness as long as you have to. And then use me to find a way out. I'll be the lantern in your darkness, so to say.

...I know you go by other names. But you're Riku. You have been from the beginning.
