He does feel sort of bad for startling her like that, if the way she freezes up is any indication. Probably should've given more of a warning, but it's a little too late now, so he just scoots a foot or so further away with a sheepish sort of smile when her hand tightens on the seashell. "Uh, sorry."
But it's her statement that takes a while longer to process. It's, surprisingly, not the first time he's seemingly been recognized by somebody he's never met. There'd been Demyx, back when he was still in the city, although he might've been confusing him for somebody else because he kept insisting he was called Roxas but that was a whole other can of worms. As it is, Sora tilts his head a bit, confused. Not the response he was expecting... he's actually not really sure how to unpack that. But.
"Here as in, like, Nautilus? I mean, I don't think the city calls people on accident..." or does it? He'd sort of read the guide but maybe 'skimmed' would be the more accurate word, he can't claim to actually know things like 'why are we here' or 'is this place public property and am I allowed to decorate it with seasonally-appropriate trinkets'.
