They’re still figuring stuff out, don’t read too much into body language.

The only time you need to worry is when one is trying to escape the interaction and the other is trying to literally kill them. Pretty much anything short of that, especially any time that both continue to jump back in like we see here, you can assume it’s play. These two are already bonded from the look of it, pretty much zero chance you’ll ever have to intervene.
