Discourse features, ellipsis, back channel, hedging, discourse markers.
They could have used the ellipsis, 'Actually, I am, instead of 'Actually, I am thick skinned', so that they could go straight to the point.
They used back channel, 'okay, okay' to acknowledge that the audience was listening to the speaker, in this case, the orange listening to the durian speaking.
They used hedging probably to prolong the orange and durian's conversation as the durian was trying to show off how strong he was.
They also used discourse markers to show the different things that they were talking about. In this case, they use the discourse marker 'another time'.
