Okay, you should not hug him because you are (presumably) a real person. From the Repairman’s point of view, it’s like getting hugged by Shub-Niggurath.
As for Bowyetta smooch…He’d be a little weirded out (not only because of being smooched by a Bowyer, but just cause he was kissed), but he’d appreciate the gesture at least.
