Spoiler Alert: It's not bodice-ripping. But also, Elidibus had fallen to the allure of the bean-bag chair. Why shouldn't he be comfortable during this practice session? It's not an addiction and he'll be able to stop any time he wants.
Of course, it wouldn't be as easy as offering out a hand. While it remains outstretched, there is a slack added to it, so it is not too tiresome to maintain its reach. "I have observed a public habit of Bonded pairs which is a step outside of our comfort and thus, more telling of whether there is any beneficial effect." There is a slight pause and close of the eyes before they're reopened. Though his expression didn't change, it may well be a version of steeling himself further over the remainder.
"One would stretch out, not unlike I have. While the other would settle close to their side. In varying degrees, the second Bonded would then overlap body parts while the first wraps an arm in an embrace. They were capable of both practicing touch and attending to a second task." For instance, reading a book. Or knitting. Or eating a meal. It was very impressive.
And thus Elidibus demystifies the nature of a cuddle with calm, simple details.
