"I dunno, could be useful to have a whole edible ship if you wound up stranded somewhere, right?" he asks, and then gives a gleefully wicked chuckle. "Unless you prefer roast duck."
He looks a little surprised by Sora's words then, and manages a watery smile.
"Have they?" he asks, trying to sound casual. "That's good, at least."
He doesn't want to admit that he doesn't feel like he could go home yet, even if part of him kind of wants to. He is still a part of the problem, he hasn't yet really become part of the solution. He's part of the reason why Radiant Garden had fallen to Darkness, even if he had no direct hand in it--he is still guilty by association, in a lot of ways, for having followed the orders of the man who catalyzed the entire situation. He hasn't been able to forgive himself that, not yet. But Sora doesn't need to know that.
He tilts his head then, frowning a bit.
"'Leon'," he echoes, and shakes his head. "I dunno that I knew any Leon... I remember a couple of the other kids around my age, though, ah..." He taps his chin. "There was that grouchy Cloud kid, and... a girl named Air... Airy?" He shakes his head again. "It's been a long time, though; I remember seeing a handful of familiar faces the couple of times I went back there, but... somehow I think they wouldn't have appreciated seeing me dressed like this."
He smiles a little.
"Scrooge, now there's a name I do remember for sure," he says. "My best friend and I used to get ice cream from him, we were a couple of his favorite customers. Or so he said. He might have said that to all the kids, for all I know."
