The proud smile on Zidane's face at Sora's reaction might make someone think he was personally responsible for building the airship and founding the troupe. Neither of which is true, of course, but he feels a sense of ownership and pride nonetheless.
He shakes his head. "Nah, we do have a band that plays music to go along with the performances, but a theater troupe performs plays. You know, stories acted out on stage? If you've never seen one, you're in for a real treat."
He waggles a hand. "Sort of, but airships are much bigger. It's like the difference between a rowboat and a galleon. They ferry people around the city of Lindblum. Man, I wish I could show you Lindblum! It's my favorite city. That's where the airships are built, and where Tantalus - my troupe - has its home base." And where he took Kuja first, when they returned from Madain Sari.
"You've met mermaids? Aside from the ones here, I mean. Different how?" He nods. "Definitely together. Even the Peacekeeper gave a warning about those areas being dangerous, apparently. But don't worry, I'll protect you!"
Okay, Zidane is realizing that one thing he really likes about Sora is the way he seems in awe of everything new to him. It's a little strange that a DTF is new to him, but who knows - maybe Sora's hasn't come out of its accessory yet.
As Sora leans forward a bit to point at the map, Zidane scoots closer and slips an arm around his shoulders casually, as if this is something they do all the time. "Jungle it is, then! I dunno anything about that beach, I haven't been there yet. So we'll find out together!"
