[See, this is why Puck vastly prefers being Owen today: with him it's fairly straightforward - if something needs to be done, it will be done, quickly and efficiently. For that reason kissing back (still very chastely, mind you) comes almost automatically. He does place his good hand on Ashura's shoulder, although that might be more for the illusion of personal space than to appease the bot.
He still hopes it'll be over and done with in a second or two.]
