Nico stands perfectly still as Maki speaks, remaining in the same pose even as the angry tension gradually seeps from it.
By the time she's done talking, Nico's not looking at her either, having found some great interest in the wall to her right. Of course it's all true and it's about time Maki acknowledged it too, but...
She didn't actually expect her to. Much less so willingly and at length.
Nico glances back to her, reassured somewhat by the glaring blush she sees in her cheeks. That means Maki doesn't get to make any smart comments about the way her own face looks, not when Maki's face is way redder.
Way, way redder. This might be the shiest Nico's ever seen her, staring at her knees like that, and yet she still went and said all that anyway. Even though Maki has to push herself to utter the tiniest nugget of unfiltered honesty.
Geez, she must really like her, huh...?
The silence hangs in the air, thick like a fog, until Nico throws out her arm, pointing down at Maki with a victorious laugh: "Ha! I knew it! You do think I'm cute!"
