"It got the group I was with excited enough to come this way. Everything we brought over's for this ship, 'cept some stones for a village. Where? You seen it? Was that the place in the South?"

The South from when they were on that tiny island, is what Tidus means, but he's looking down South now, knowing they stopped here instead of the upper mountain because they had to go elsewhere. But he's also going to take the time here to stretch, a groan behind his lips.

"Mmmm- it's way warmer over here!"

Not really what you would call warm, but 'slightly chilly' is better than 'utterly chilly'.
