[Riku almost doesn't believe it when he receives that note, hands trembling lightly as relieve sweeps over him the moment he's processed it. It feels like the first really good news he's gotten in a long while.
(As for the ways to keep track of the various Rikus... collar colors work pretty well; for the actual Rikus at least.)
He won't be waiting for his student, though he might see the (maybe minor) changes the last few weeks have brought - Riku's hair is short now; shorter than he's worn it in years, his eyes actually visible rather than hidden behind bangs and there is a subtle element of tenseness that hasn't been there since just shortly after he and Xion had escaped from Ganondorf's villian meeting. Someone is very, very alert and paranoid right now.
Still he grins when he catches sight of Terra (it may or may not have trouble reaching his eyes though), stance causal, hands tugged way in his jeans.]
About time you get back. I was starting to get worried.
