She’s in the middle of talking–gesturing sweepingly with her hands, fingers looping to shape out approximate placements of where she’d been in relation to her teammates in the space in front of her as she recounts (in theatrical, play-by-play detail) how she managed to use the basketball cart as a jumping-off point to hang from the hoop–so she doesn’t catch the mischievous glint in his eyes and his movement in her peripheral until he actually makes contact.
“…Haa?” The noise of confusion she makes is short, but it effectively cuts her off mid-story. The kiss to her cheek isn’t a noticeable pressure by any means, but her head still tilts a little in its wake. Her hands have stalled in the air in front of her, but her fingers still twitch a little with movement (she’s rarely ever entirely still, after all).
It’s only when he straightens up to stand properly at his full height again that Nana turns her head to look up at him, puzzlement clear on her features. Her confusion isn’t eased at all by his (expectant? taunting? self-assured?) expression. She can’t for the life of her figure out what that look is trying to get across (but then, when does she ever).
She’s a fairly tactile person herself (more in the realm of draping herself across her teammates, tackling them into bear hugs or clapping them heartily on the backs in encouragement), but this action is a bit foreign to her–namely because they’re not two teammates celebrating on the court together, and also because she’s not the one initiating the friendly(?) contact this time.
“…You trying out one of those European-style greetings, or something?”
