Well, if it's stubbornness, it's at least... effective. It gets things done. [Ouse can be just as stubborn. About a lot of the same and also a lot of different things.
She's... not expecting the little nudge to turn into anything else. She's not even expecting Yuri to pick up that she did it on purpose, let alone do anything in turn, so when she feels fingers slide along her palm she forgets how to breathe for just a moment. The leap of her heart into her throat isn't from whatever she sees over the Mitori - there's really nothing Yuri can show her anymore that Ouse doesn't already know - it's not even startled, which means there's only one explanation for it, and honestly, one Ouse just wants to kick herself for.
She can't act so lovesick around Yuri. She really, really can't. Gods, maybe it was a bad idea to do this, but...
... But it's easy enough to just bury the feelings. They have a duty to perform, she can do what she always fails to do and try to focus more on that. And at the road ahead of them, and not at Yuri, because she can't afford to show off that moment of weakness. (It was super obvious and she misses the hand when it moves away. It just feels so cold in her palm afterward...)]
Elementary school.... mmm... that makes sense. H-her room was furnished in a way I would expect a younger child's, with the dolls and all. The bed was also quite small and there was even a crib, as though the family were expecting another child.
