[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.]
[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?]
