Weren't they talking about Sora, not the Soldier? They watch his excitement with a kind of amiable bemusement. Cute, if baffling. "More thinking about where you wanna be, buddy," they say, sounding vaguely amused. "Come on. Let's get you home, before we disturb the psychic floating cat enough to come chase us out." Mewtwo is probably around here somewhere, since going out in the blizzard when you have no clothes let alone a proper coat would be very very dumb, and is possibly only leaving them alone because the Soldier is here keeping things under control.

Sort of. Things are only sort of under control.
