The technicality is "not around Soldat" which is a weasel promise, Sora. Well, to Soldat it is.
They don't drag a hand down their face, but they're damn tempted to. The goal is for Sora to not hurt himself. That's the goal, here. That's the only thing Soldat wants out of this interaction.
There are actions they can take. They're gonna take 'em. Soldat suddenly gets less wary and more determined, maybe a little more of the Soldat that showed up at the armory. "Then we're gonna teach you more shit. How to do more things yourself, without using it. So you don't have to. And you're gonna work out exactly why it wanted to bang your head into trees, so we can fuckin' fix that. So if you do use it, it'll do what you want it to instead of hurting you. Deal?"
