Soka saw someone (John) nearby and looked at him. "Oh, you look familiar..." He said, but wasn't sure where he had seen him before. He wasn't sure if John was talking to him or not, but at this point he needed to find party members and fast.

"Yeah! We should team up." 

Soka continued to look around, while standing near John. He saw Hayato a little ways away and looked to see if anyone else was near.

"Hey!!" he called out to Hayato, moving through the crowd toward him. "Hey, did you hear what's going on? Where are the others from before? We should get going soon. Who knows how long it will take for any of us to find those Magi."
