He's still sad about Emma not being in the city, so he could use some affection. Cuddles only, because even without Emma around, he still sees himself as married. He's not going to seek them out though, so that's the sort of thing that will just have to happen. Especially since he's new. It's a great way to make new friends.

And even though Emma's not in town, that won't stop him from flirting a little. ;-)
