I know. [His answer is without hesitation, and perhaps surprisingly without sarcasm.] Sometimes it's good to have a tall best friend, though, either way.
[He frowns at him a little, then ruffles his hair fondly.]
Well, don't stress out about it too much. You're not that Ven guy, and I know that for sure, 100%. You're you, and nobody else. [He gently pokes the middle of Roxas' forehead with a grin.] Get it memorized.

Hey, ow.
[Okay, the poke didn't actually hurt, but he rubs it anyway. For the effect.]
Yeah, let's do that. I could definitely eat, even if they don't have ice cream.
[But of course they'll check for ice cream first.]
