Cole does kiss Mel in one episode, but another has him comforting her afte a near-rape by giving quick, gentle strokes to the throat/neck. Learning that Mel is part Cirronian herself later on just makes it fit that much better.

* Shellpeople in ''Literature/TheShipWho'' are [[ManInTheMachine unable to move or be touched]] directly, but have sensors running through the ships or stations that they're built into. For Helva, having a [[HandyHelper brawn]] lay a hand on the access panel of the column [[PeopleJars where her body is suspended]] qualifies as an intimate gesture, though usually platonic. Tia's IconicItem is a teddy bear in a glass case in her cabin; during an emotional moment, she pops the case open and asks her brawn if he'd like to hug the bear. He understands the significance of the gesture and later has a symbolic dream about her as a soft-skinned human in his arms who then turns into an animate plush bear.
