This really wasn't the time for an argument, and yet Sora couldn't agree with Kairi's idea either. Backtracking just because they'd hit a snag wasn't going to do them much good, especially when they had so far to travel. No, they had to face this head-on, but they were going to do it as a group. Or at least as a pair. Sora's strategies seemed to include mainly himself and Riku, partly because he didn't want Kairi involved and partly because he wasn't as used to fighting alongside her.
He watched as their opponent drew closer, making out his features with the scant light that they had. He was an older man and he had a mean look about him. Sora didn't know why he was talking about sentences like this was a prison instead of...
Well, it kind of was one, wasn't it? But he'd never heard someone talk about it quite like that before.
Riku's response made it clear that he still didn't understand the danger they were in here. If this had been any normal time, Sora wouldn't have protested in the first place. He knew that his friend was strong, maybe even stronger than him, and he would have known that he could take out one enemy. But in this place where their powers were drained and their wounds couldn't be healed, it wasn't that simple. And he'd watched Riku drift in and out of the institute too many times to allow him to run off on his own.
"If we're going to take him on, we do it together," he said, still keeping his voice down. "You run one way, I run the other. He'll have to focus on shooting one of us and then whoever he ignores can go in for a hit, right?" And once the guy was disoriented, they could all make a run for it. Quietly, Sora knew that he was the one who should be taking the bullets, seeing how his Keyblade might not manifest until the last moment. Saying that out loud might just upset his friend, though.
