It's sort of a cultural nuance. Courtship in Japan is a bit more subtle and built on small gestures.

I think Touka was realistic enough to know that if a relationship couldn't work between them because of circumstances, it couldn't work, but as things are now, they're able to sit and spend time with each other peacefully. It could be argued that her gesture was more on the friendly side, but the Japanese literate audience seems to agree (from the ones I've seen, I wonder what others think) that she was satly over the naming.
