com.apple.iCloudHelper.xpc wants to use the keychain...Why? Is this normal?

Just upgraded to Mavericks and I keep getting a notification asking me to enter my keychain password for com.apple.iCloudHelper.xpc. Is this legit or what?

MacBook, OS X Mavericks (10.9), 2009 Macbook 9400m

It's me again... I signed out of iCloud in the preferences section and that seemed to put a stop to the annoying password prompts. My laptop seems to be running much smoother now too. I'm not a big cloud user anyways, I prefer my own hardware for storage.
