But really what calms him down the most is contact. Connection. He had to operate alone for so long b/c of the way Valdana isolated him from his support system as home that someone just grabbing him and being like "I'm here and we got this" mitigates his anxiety a lot

But Sir Beepers can actually understand what he's saying as long as the verbal commands are inside its operational parameters, so even then it's not really a companionship thing?
Then again, is Beepers was designed to be a companion, it probably does have protocols responding to things like praise or other emotional triggers, so maybe he does talk to it in that way.
