Fidel would go along with it, but push you away after a “reasonable” amount of time. It’s really only a thing he tolerates.

Emile is a touch starved little thing (“little” being entirely inaccurate here) and would enjoy it for as long as they think they can get away with, before common sense kicks in and they push away the total stranger. Deeply embarrassed but also… it feels nice!

Zed has a “does nobody respect personal space!?” Attitude, but also has to remain polite, so it’s a sort of “okay, okay, that’s enough buddy” routine with a pat on the shoulder and slightly less than polite prying to get you off. (He will be thinking about it for hours, though - despite his attitude, the guy’s also pretty touch starved.)

Dee isn’t a very “huggy” person, but they’re also slightly nicer than Zed, so they’ll allow it for a little while before wriggling away if it seems like the other person needs it or something. Overly excited hugging earns a gentle but firm push by the shoulders.

Mathis loves it, for the simple reason that it’s attention given freely to them. However, when it becomes more bothersome than pleasant, they’ll pick you up and put you aside like a particularly rowdy kitten.
