Jules is starting to become more and more uneasy by this interaction. He has never liked attention and has yet to learn how to take a compliment or praise very well. Both happen so infrequently. Still, he manages to keep himself from showing his unease except for a slight shifting of weight from foot to foot.

If Tachibana is expecting some confirmation of that from Jules, he certainly isn't going to get it. Offering information isn't really Jules' style.
