Yamaguchi's anxiety doesn't settle at all. In fact, it's worse now for being totally devoid of any subconscious reaction toward flattery or gratitude, at the stuff Oikawa says, or a desire to hear more.]
I-It's fine, Oikawa-san. [Yamaguchi withdraws a little as he eats his shortcake, which isn't really natural for him, but he isn't sure how else to fix Oikawa's mood. Yamaguchi wishes he hadn't pressed the issue with him when he had the chance.]
