[Izumi is about to scramble for another joke to kill his thoughts, but there isn't much time to think of anything else when Mao's surprise gets across, and.... Yeah, he's definitely blushing at least a little now, if he wasn't before. And now Mao's thinking of it too?! Great.... Izumi is positive his expression is at least a little stupefied, but he also isn't exactly upset. Just on the brink of mortified.
Honestly, his gut reaction is along the lines of "I wouldn't mind drowning right now," but he's quickly able to get that out of his head after reminding himself that Mao (understandably) hates it when he even jokes about things like that. Instead, it's replaced with a whole string of "stupid, stupid!" and embarrassment, much to his chagrin. But before Izumi can wallow in it too much, Mao's arms tighten around his waist and he yelps just a bit.]

That's the wrong scene, Mao-- Rose!
