Oh, I... [Yuri trails off, looking a little bashful at the compliment.] I think some people would just call that being stubborn.

[Leave it to Ouse to make something good out of it though.

Ouse's nudge makes Yuri start a bit in surprise, but after a moment of hesitation she drops hand hand to take Ouse's, giving it a light squeeze. She knows the contact might be painful on some level for her so it's a brief one before Yuri's letting her hand go.]

I think this one's headed towards the elementary school next.
