[He knows, and he gets it. When Riku drops his hand, his gaze travels around the thinning crowd, and his own shoulders seem to relax ever so slightly. He doesn't feel quite as relaxed as he is when he's with Zack, but if the clone can just have a few seconds where he doesn't feel like he's walking barefoot on eggshells, he'll take it.
Though as he looks back at Cloud, he can't help but wonder who this guy is. Shinra still seems to rule here in some regards, but this Cloud guy... people must respect him.
He's about to nod in confirmation before he feels a tap on his arm. The booth attendant reaches out to hand over the prized plush with something of an apologetic smile, making Riku return an awkward one of his own. He did choose this booth for the plush, but never expected to win it (or get the chance to).
Turning back to Cloud though, he finally shrugs. Gotta get to business.]
