[ His hand drops a little at those words, hearing that defensive tone in his voice, or maybe it's more like defeat. And a part of him can't help but wonder what it is that has happened to Riku for him to have that kind of tone, especially when he seems so young to have it. There are always a whole bunch of possibilities, but in the end, Fayt can't determine anything. Not when there isn't much he knows about the other, considering this is the first time they've spoken to each other. ]

[ Voice on the softer side, he wants to know, to understand just what it is that keeps the other on this thought process.
Riku faintly reminds him of Albel, though not to the exact degree of the swordsman as the other is much more polite than his traveling companion and friend. And if that's really the case, then Riku's holding on to demons that he doesn't want anyone else to know about, that he doesn't really want anyone to help him with. Because it's something he has to atone for himself, by himself, if at all. If that's really the case, then there's no way Fayt can let him continue on thinking that he has to be alone for whatever it is that's haunting him. ]
Or maybe it's something else that you believe and leaving your hand like that is a reminder for you.
