[Sanji raises his own hand, a smile flirting across his face before it vanishes. Which might not be encouraging given the train of Usopp's thoughts (and Sanji would feel terrible knowing them, what his first and only friend must think of him), but he's trying in his own way. Some of his gruffer features smooth into a more pleasant expression, bringing forth the resemblance to that fussy, frustrated kid of their youths.

He's say the same of Usopp, honestly. It's hard to tell with all that winter gear on him, but it's nice to see he grew up and healthy -- but not so much he can't recognize the boy in him, either.
It's enough to bring back some of his smile. With a nod, he gestures at a seat for the other to take.]
