Cliffjumper accidentally looked back just when Mirage glanced over his shoulder and immediately looked away, field flaring right before he pulled it in tight. Frag, frag, frag.
"I guess," he finally bit out, then gritted his teeth and while he wanted to snap 'yes' or 'of course', what Cliffjumper ended up actually saying wasn't something he wanted to admit to.
Even if it wasn't worse than what Mirage had said to him when he came out of the washracks.
"Only 'cause it seems dumb. You..." trying his hardest to keep control of his field and staring stubbornly at the painting, Cliffjumper grunted, "you look good."
It was okay to say it in this situation. Mirage would probably not notice - and if he did, he'd dismiss it probably.
(And if he didn't, if he actually figured it out, Cliffjumper could only hope he would never know. Because he didn't really think Mirage would ever return any of what he was feeling. They were far too different.)
