[Quick efforts to tear down a camp and get to somewhere more likely to have emergency services doesn't mean Xemnas isn't paying attention to his surroundings. He may only be an ordinary human these days, but he hasn't forgotten how to be alert.
It helps that he has six other sets of eyes and ears paying attention. Which means Riku and his entourage are noted pretty quickly, and primarily by the bobbling flame that is a charizard's tail.
He stops what he's doing and observes. There's no way he doesn't recognize Riku, for all the trouble he'd caused in his own timeline.. but this one was different. The boy could still be useful, and this.. well, this was the first time he'd had the opportunity to actually meet the boy face to face. Perhaps whatever dragged him here was beneficial, after all..]
Hello, Riku.
[Hey it's that guy! There's an acknowledging nod, though he turns back to his work. Of his pokemon, only the kadabra turns to observe the newcomers with an attentive, unblinking stare. Xemnas, it seemed, was perfectly content to trust the psychic mon's senses in this case.. or he just doesn't think Riku's going to attack him.]
This evening when I set up camp I was about three miles north of Mahogany, if I were truthful. I'm not certain how I got here. .. But it seems fortuitous.
[For him. There's little of his bearing or attitude to suggest malicious intent, just thoughtful interest. He had told Xehanort that Riku might well be an appropriate thirteenth vessel. Might as well see if that was still true.]
