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's all right. I've learned over the years that caution is key. It's better to be safe than be sorry.
