[She's surprised naturally, but welcomes it and hugs him back tightly. She's not one to joke about already being dead, even if it would bring some levity. No, instead she has to try to reassure him just that little bit more.]

I don't want you to know either. I'll keep practicing to get stronger, but I'll stay in touch more too.

[Kairi backs off the hug just enough to smile faintly back at him.]

Best god a girl could hope for, you know. No wonder he fell for you.

[It's a compliment. Then she looks a bit rueful.]

Speaking of Sora, I owe him an apology too.
