[Hey, hey, easy on the clothes! ... is what he'd say if his mouth wasn't occupied (or pretending to be). No point in kicking up a fuss, though, when he's got an illusion to maintain, and this will surely all be over soon anyway.
The trio announces their approval, save for one, and after holding the "kiss" a moment, his partner shoves him off. Which seems unnecessarily rude, quite frankly. He retracts his arms and smooths the front of his wrinkled shirt down, happy to put some distance between them.
In response to Raika, the portrait trio reiterates their views: "It was thrilling!" says one. "Riveting!" chimes another. "I couldn't take my eyes off you!"

[A moment passes, and the portrait girls exchange looks. There's some mumbling, and then it turns to yes, fine, alright. Perhaps their act wouldn't have been enough for a more hard-up maiden, but these three "aren't taking this trapping thing too seriously," so they're in luck. The elevator starts to move, and they're back in business!]
