Jecht lets loose some bubbles when he opens his mouth too wide to laugh but he shuts it quickly enough. Bad move but not terrible. Not when he now has both of Tidus's ankles in his grasp.

... and yanked hair.

Been a while since someone did that. Still, he may be ten years out of practice but he still played blitz professionally but for a solid twenty years. He throws his hands downwards to tug Tidus to his level and hopefully loosen the hold on his hair, flash Tidus a grin, and headbutt him.
