thinking about. how much different people initiate physical constact with zam. skinship. I've made it pretty clear how I feel about this with mapicc (he does it a Lot) but haven't really thought about others. maybe when derap asked zam to trust him yesterday he had both of zams hands in his. he put his hand on zams shoulder today. but it's not as close or as much as mapicc. and then kab, she switches between touch being foreign, holding her hands behind her back as she looks down on zam, and coddling him, trying to hug when he's pushing back. the part where she tries to clean the blood off of him, something he can do, something he never asked her for. she's a lot more willing to touch zams face, and whether that's a good thing or not. well. it'd be better if she asked first before blocking his vision.
bacon doesn't initiate much, it's almost always the opposite. he'll be talking, waving his hands around to get his point across and zam will grab one when he needs to interrupt. the same is for planet, although instead of only grabbing hands, zam often finds himself catching planet, trying to keep him safe especially since for so long he's been on only one or two hearts this season.
subz is a lot of subtle touches, a brush of shoulders here and an exchange of items and touch there. vitalasy was much more grabby, not in a way zam minded. for a time at least, it was what he needed, a mix of subtle and strong reassurance.
