[She does look down a few times-- just to get things right, because she's never really done something like this. But she catches on quick, and even more quickly, she learns to follow him. Once Maya has the hang of it, though, she adjusts her hands just a bit and looks up at Kaneda, a careful little smile on her face.
She's sure he's used moves like this on countless girls before. Maya's not getting her hopes up, she's not ending up giddy and stupid right there over something like this-- she knows better than that. But she is damn enjoying herself, enjoying being near him. And maybe that's what's important, anyway; enjoying the moment as it is, no matter what the end goal may be. She doesn't have to be lost in it to feel content right there in his arms, to find the slow steps fun and different and new. She doesn't have to be lost in it to close her eyes and smile and run her thumbs gently over the fabric of his collar as they dance.
She can enjoy this moment as it is, and it's enough to win her over.]
