Soldat is gonna steal your shirts and jackets and replace all the cuffs, Sora, so help them. Or maybe have an afternoon of coming over instead of doing handler tasks and doing the mending at the hotel or something.

That's neither here nor there, though. And not what they're talking about now. "He tell you why you ain't friends?" they ask. "Or did he just kinda do his drive-by 'this is how it is' thing and ghost away?" Riku is unfathomable to Soldat. He seems like a decent kid, seems to have some weird kind of admiration for them, but he's so damn self-contained. Like Bruce. (No wonder those two are friends. And don't like here's-all-my-emotions-at-once Sora. Shut up, Sarge.)

And this is before their talk wit Riku in the church in March... which is kind of too bad.
