Frankie isn't OPPOSED to touch but she definitely has walls up and it's not part of her routine!!!

Hakkai is so lucky he's married because if he weren't with someone romantically he would be Most Likely To Popsicle

Hakkai also doesn't notice just because it makes perfect sense to him that holding Jedao is the cure for all miseries

Kahl is also less isolated than he used to be, but super defaults to it

and generally only cuddles people in cat form

also he's never been cold before!!!!! this is weird and bad. what is it

if arthur finds jedao he'll just press against him for a minute and chat. drive-by cuddle

Jedao, sticking his hands under Arthur's shirt shamelessly: I'M HELPING

This is so goddamn funny to me because I have always been like. What would make Walter shoot his shot and ask to cuddle with Frankie. At this point he's kinda in a different emotional place BUT NOW THERE'S AN EXCUSE SO I'M JUST LIKE... WOW...

ghjkgs JEDOA

he will not grope arthur's ass but he will nuzzle his neck. boundaries???

but also if he gets a startled tiger he will be so very wide-eyed with delight

he's never been to a zoo!!! he's never seen a tiger up close actually!!! you're so soft!!!

ancillaries let's go for it!!!

Kahl and Edwin: shapeshifted grudging cuddles??

would Frankie be better if not a human touching her?

researchboner it's not that Kahl resents touch it's just that. he would never think of it and he's so bad at it

please help him

he spent two thousand years completely alone and then a hundred years hiding from everyone

probably the most direct contact touch he had in his whole life before he died was when he ripped Itempas's heart out

he's just sitting there shivering having not paid attention to the network being a sad pathetic idiot wet kitten

but yes he and Edwin need to be weird godbab friends!!!

yarnzipan it's not that Frankie is bothered by human touch, just that she's in the habit of keeping her personal space by default - she doesn't have any regular casual touch in her life and will have to be proactive here

but she would def let John help her out

they can talk about it!

....man I just had the mental image of Frankie, veteran of blacktop no toys children's clapping games teaching the barge about Miss Susie Had A Steamboat

CLAP CLAP CLAP

cuddling this sparring that. have we considered secret handshakes
