[Close enough. His eyes flick up to this Sora lookalike and he gives the slightest of nods, but he doesn't want to be too overt in case the spirits catch on before the guy has had a chance to get away.
In the meantime, he'll keep talking to the spirits. Hopefully at least one or more of them will be able to get the gist of what he's saying. Hopefully this isn't a group from the deeper parts of the forest that truly need to be spoken to only in their own tongue. Although he's kneeling, he still towers over the things, and as they draw closer he lifts his hand a little to keep the candy just out of their reach for the moment.]
Someone ordered you all to do this, right? I'm a friend. You're not here to hurt anyone. Friend?
[To make sure he's made his point - hopefully, anyway - he attempts his best friend, peace whistle-call that he has far from perfected, but maybe they'll appreciate the attempt, if he hasn't entirely butchered it. If their attention wavers to maybe-Sora, or if the young man manages to slip farther away, he'll lower the candy to keep their interest on him.]
