The feeling her reaction gives him feels like a drug. How cute! Flayn is clearly pleased but ducks the compliment with exactly the sort of demure grace that's socially expected. Yukimura loves seeing it, and he loves that he's the reason for it. That's probably dangerous for Flayn.

He in turn smiles with embarrassment and holds his hand up in protest.

"No, that would be impossible...! I've just taken several classes before. But it's true that art is one of my hobbies. I enjoy painting in watercolor."

Noguchi, who is drawing about as much pleasure from watching Yukimura with his new partner as Konishi, feels a twist in her stomach. Yukimura really didn't waste any time turning on the charm with the outsider, did he? Was he so glad to be done with them? It hurts. It hurts in a way that makes her hate Flayn a little, just for the proof of inadequacy that her sunny presence has so brutally bestowed upon them.
