Pretty sure?

[He reaches a hand out with the intention of feeling his forehead for a fever, but he stops short of touching Maya in case he really doesn't want to be touched.]

May I?

Huh? Oh.

[What a careful guy. That seems really comforting, for some reason? Maya nods, leaning closer, almost putting his forehead in Nanami's hand himself.]

Sure.

[Feeling for a fever and shaking his head.]

You don't feel abnormally warm. Do you feel anything unusual?

[Leaning into his hand;]

I kind of feel like I can't sit still?

[Leaving his hand there for now, since Maya seems to want it. But he is looking around the area.]

I'm not sure if there are bathrooms here, but I'm sure we can figure something out.

[actually no the embarrassment of such a miscommunication is actually too much for Maya, who shrinks back down into the chair and puts his own fuzzy hand to his head as if to hide his face.]

N-no, that's... not what I meant, sorry.

I'm okay.

[totally elementary-schooler'd...]

Forgive me, I didn't mean to assume. Perhaps you need to lighten your clothing layers? I know some people can be physically uncomfortable with certain kinds of clothing on.

[He may have heard a few times in his life that dressing the way he normally does makes other people uncomfortable.]

Well— maybe.

[>gets embarrassed about being childish

>segues right into something childish]


But it's too pretty to take off... Besides, it just— feels like everyone's so far away right now!

[getting up to start trying to pull the chair closer to the table, which he's not actually having trouble with, but looks really difficult in this outfit—]

[That is something actionable, at least.]

You're welcome to move closer, none of us here bite.

[He shoots a glare briefly at Envy, who he thinks might would be the most likely to bite someone.]

[Glares back! If he had a voice, he'd be using it to tell Nanami to bite him.

He does take a moment to regard Maya and shake his head, mouthing:]
Don't listen to him. I'm cool.

[Oh!

Nodding, playing along, and giving Envy a thumbs up like he totally believes him. Bc there's no reason not to yet, actually.]

Oh! Okay, yeah!

[Just gonna keep moving that chair closer— cool.

...doesn't really solve the problem, though.]

Does that feel any better?

[He's starting to get some idea of what's happening, and he wants to know if he's right. There's still a sort of paternal air to the question, but mostly he's just trying to assess how Maya is doing.]

[doesn't answer immediately, pouting for a second

and then pushes the chair back out so that he can sit on his knees in front of the table instead. maybe that's better???]


Eh...

I'm sorry I don't have more constructive advice for you.

[IMMEDIATELY purring.]

That's okay...

[That's way more chill, actually...!]

[He's so very curious about the purring, that's not something he's experienced before. But it makes sense, coming from a cat. So just because he's not sure if this is actually helping or not, Nanami is very gentle about running his hand along Maya's shoulder. Petting him.]

[Now he kind of starts leaning into Nanami's hand, just. PURRING. It's kind of chirpy, too.]

[Well that might have settled it then, as long as it's working. And it's charming to Nanami as well, who doesn't like petting a purring cat who is also a full grown adult human?]

[Apparently, it's not very offensive at all to Maya, who even scoots a little closer to be pet better!]

It's a shot in the dark, I don't know what's wrong with him.

You're welcome to help if you have better ideas.
