"What kinda threat's that?" There's a smidgen of surprise inside the mock protest, bewilderment; the edges of it amused, even if he doesn't get it. Okay, so maybe he does after a second - that he's sounding sappy, but Esteban asked! And Tidus will puff up his chest some, adjust the hold of his arms, his smile more of a smirk from the humour.
But it does twitch again, when he hears where his name follows. A thanks, and in truth, it's different - never really hearing it that often. Not always the case, but there's a reason it makes him bite at the back of his bottom lip.
(Because he wonders as well - when was the last time he did feel as proud as he did on that first mission? When lately, it's been all the more despairing, just something he wants to get through so he can one day help save themselves than everyone else.)
"Yeah, yeah." He won't give up his good mood on display because of it, lifting his chin at Esteban. "Now who's being Sunshine? I'll throw you over to Blue - you can go make the animals and people happy!"
