What he says: Love that Sabertooth friendship.
What he means: Okay, putting aside the degrading love triangle vibes, the friendship between Sting, Rogue, and Yukino is wonderfully refreshing. Yukino clearly wasn't very social during her original Sabertooth days, and didn't have many friends, and when she comes back, the Twin Dragons step up to the task without hesitation. Yukino provides a calming quietude for Rogue when he's freaking out, who in turn provides the same for Sting when he's going overboard, and Sting in turn keeps the mood light when the other two are getting morbid. This, with Sabertooth's overall much more bonded look than Fairy Tail, gives the impression that unlike that guild, the people in Sabertooth aren't just teams and islands, they really enjoy spending time with each other and care for one another. In particular, the three seem like a more perfected mirror of Lucy, Gray, and Natsu, with Yukino as the polite and calm celestial wizard, Sting as the boisterous one, and Rogue as the quiet and collected one. What's more, Yukino steadily develops friendships with Sting, Rogue, Minerva, Lucy, Princess Hisui, and Kagura, extending her friendships to several other factions and treating them all with the same level of importance and camaraderie rather than simply singling out Sting and Rogue to latch onto.
