That would seem to be an improvement, because frankly the time he was just sitting completely motionless kind of freaked her out a little.
Now she just has to figure out if being careful means being careful about approaching him or not approaching him at all and she hates -- she hates -- not knowing how to deal with saying hello to someone she thinks of as a friend, because that shouldn't be something you have to analyze all this terribly much.
And then there's the realization that he can hear her trying to analyze the ramifications of saying hello to him or not, and how insanely rude is that? Given that she's thinking about him, and he no doubt knows that she's thinking about him, she really should just go ahead and say hello, except, of course, that actually saying hello is kind of redundant at this point, although it's also rude to interupt him while he's playing and --
Perhaps, the first second he's debating properness. The ruse and moving and not too few of Kate's thoughts.

It, and his posture, are a little too rigid.
But the nodding definitely did happen.
