How Tiir wants to believe that—so badly that it almost hurts. He wants to believe that for all of his friends, even though half of him knows that it's a futile expectation. In this world, getting hurt is almost inevitable. After all, isn't that why they're fighting? So that none of them will be hurt again?
At the same time, the other half of him silently vows—vows to make Minato's words true. No one—not Minato, not his friends—will be harmed, because Tiir will protect them. He'll protect all of them.
He has to do something for Minato, even if Minato's the one offering to help (again).
With that, Tiir smiles—still looking as if he's about to cry, hence why he makes a weak-hearted attempt to hide his expression by covering his mouth and looking away again. Still, the smile is clear on his face, as he takes a few moments to compose himself.
Finally, he removes his hand and looks at Minato again, his smile softer now but still there.]
... You always were rather stubborn.
[He shrugs slightly, his expression turning a bit wry.]
It seems that I still can't win against you...
[And he feels like he should hate himself, for being this happy, when his existence is placing Minato in further danger. He could very well be the reason Minato dies here—in this world that isn't even his home.
Yet he's far too happy for that right now. Happy, even though he's putting his friend at risk.
Because God, he loves him—one of his important people, his family.]
