"Riku's friend, Sora, also has a duck friend, named Donald. But he's a mage, and he can say more than 'quack', too. So... you're a little bit different than I expected." He explains, but keeping a good-natured smile.

"...you really are kind of cute, like that. But I can see why you don't want to eat meat."

He's not sure what else there is to say, or how much longer he can smile before it turns into too embarrassingly endearing of a simper because- gosh, he's not such a sap for little animals, okay! Let alone little animals that turn back into one of his closest friends!

"Your secret's safe with me." He nods, clasping his hand around the pendant. "Promise."

"Are you ready to change back now?"
