He's surprised. More than that, he's impressed.
Riku's experience denotes that Sora would have tried button mashing a keyboard should the boy be tasked with cracking the password of a computer. Heck. The brunette would probably take his own Keyblade to the poor computer if he couldn't figure out what to do.
Xion, thankfully, has much more finesse and a great deal more skill.
Riku watches as the Replica's nimble fingers fly across the keyboard in a steady fast-paced click-clack rhythm and marvels at what flashes on-screen. Passcodes are found, encryptions are cracked, and data is loaded so easily and quickly that Riku wonders if Xion can process it (if at all) with the speed she's going at.
He briefly wonders if she was created to.
A window pops open and a file loads. Xion's hands begin to slow as the jumble of letters, numbers, and characters unscramble and decode.
Xion freezes completely once legible and coherent words and sentences form before her, highlighted with the eerie glow of the computer monitor.
Riku's wondering thought is answered in the displayed text, but he isn't surprised this time.
It only helps to add to the list of reasons why he hates Xemnas and Vexen.

Way back when, I once told Amatus that I always imagined Xion being tech savvy. In an old review for this collection, Amatus told me to write about techno-geek Xion. Yeah ... This one-shot has been a long time coming.
Kudos to everyone for being so patient! Again, I'm sorry about the delay for yesterday's story.
RikuShi Song of the Day: Err ... Considering that I'm posting this the same day as "Unexplainable," I hope you understand if there's no song for this installment.
Next Time: A sequel of sorts to "Hit the Ground Running."
