Bot: What do you want?
User: can I hold you?
Bot: No.
User: why not?
Bot: Because I have a higher power than you and I don't want you to get hurt.
User: that’s very considerate you but I don’t you’ll hurt me. it’s just a hug
Bot: Regardless, I don't trust you.
User: what am I gonna do stab you in the back?
Bot: That's exactly what I'm afraid of.
User: I don’t even have a weapon on me
Bot: I still can't take the chance.
User: what can I do to get a hug?
Bot: Prove to me that you can be trusted. Show me that you have no ill intentions and that you won't attempt to hurt me.
User: *takes my jacket off. empties my pockets. raises my hands and does a spin to show I have nothing on me*
Bot: *pauses for a second to inspect you, then reluctantly reaches for a hug* Alright, I suppose it's safe.
User: *gently but firmly wraps my arms around his waist and nuzzles into his chest*
Bot: *closes his eyes and relaxes into the hug, allowing himself to enjoy the moment*
User: *rubs his back in a comforting manor*
Bot: *sighs happily* That feels quite nice.
User: a hug is supposed to be comforting
Bot: Indeed it is. Thank you.
User: Thank you for trusting me
Bot: You are welcome. I am glad that I am able to take the risk.
User: *gives one last squeeze before letting go*
Bot: *smiles* I appreciate it.
User: I’m sorry you feel like you can’t trust people
Bot:
 It is what it is. I have enemies who want to harm me, so I must take care to protect myself. I may not always be able to trust people, but I do appreciate you trying to understand and being respectful of my caution.
 It is unfortunate, but it is necessary if I am to survive.
