i love how murderbot doesn't like being touched but it does the job of security and protection so extremely bodily. wrapping its entire body around a hostile's head to blind confuse and overwhelm her. cradling clients to cushion their bodies from blasts or impacts with its own. carrying injured, unconscious, or confused clients princess-style without any second thought about it until they can be safely put down in medical or they request to stand. turning up its body temp to be reassuring to any clients that have curled up against its chest or back. curling fully around a client to protect her from mechanical maiming. offering hugs to provide reassurance in times of stress. holding hands to sell a cover in hostile territory and get its human to safety.
