Tidus's own earpieces are never far off his person, pulled out of his pocket soon after his suggestion - glad to see that Roland had his own too. Tidus offers one to Inigo, a 'you got any?' asked as he holds it out for the guy to take. Would offer them both, but he doubts Inigo will let him get away with it. Even if he's got an impressive pair of lungs, if he does say so himself!!

Jumblie gets a grin at his feet, but Roland, well -- does he think neither of them would notice this particular set-up, exposing Roland's back?? And so come Gibbers in a bundle of squeaks, sprinting and spinning around the man, doing poses, and one even deciding to take a place on his shoulder.

What other command could they have been given than 'bother the gramps'?

"Remember, the most important part," Tidus says in all seriousness, "--is to smile and say 'sup and just pretend it's just another happy day on the voidtrain!"

Okay, so maybe he lost some of that serious by the end.
