That assessment - or is it the ending chide - gets a bark out of Tidus. A laugh, something deep from his lungs, genuinely tickled. Quick to turn into a chuckle, leaving a wide grin on his face. Saying, almost instantly after:
"Mann, you make me sound like an overworker! Is this you worrying about me?" Concerned, is he? "Don't worry, I'm not that nice. You get the sort here, but me? I like rest. But I like people too. Talking to people. That's all it is."
Well. He lets a beast pass, and, "Okay - maybe not all," he concedes, raising a hand, palm flat, as if to protest a rebuttal before it can be given. "But Della - she's a mom. She cares a lot about the people here. Back on Jinnjar, she didn't get to be one. So-" he cocks a head to the rest of the room. "--I helped her. 'Cause I like her."
He stretches in his back, hiding it for a second before he lets it release, an exhale taken; his shoulders slouching, relaxing after. Body at ease.
"If you're stuck here, you might as well enjoy it a lil'. "

His motto, if he ever had one.
