Maybe it isn't the safest thing to do – Raymond isn't malicious and bears him no ill intent, but Hollister can also tell that even Raymond isn't so sure of his own stability – but it feels like the right thing to do. Hollister leaves the safety of his tree to try and rest a hand on Raymond's shoulder, hoping it comes across as the reassuring gesture he intends.
"You're not alone, you know," he murmurs. "We're here, if you need us."

On the contrary, Raymond is not unsure of his own stability. Raymond is completely certain that he is mentally unstable. His code has been tampered with; Perceptor showed him as much.
His shoulder is covered by several layers of fabric, but he fancies that he can still feel the warmth of Hollister's hand and the pulse of the blood in even the little capillaries of his fingers.
Raymond closes his eyes and echos, a little distorted, "And I'm here, to do as you need me to."

"You say that like you're just a tool," Hollister says with half a smile. "You're not, you know," he adds and squeezes Raymond's shoulder. "You're a teammate. Please don't forget that." Team means a lot to him, and he hates the idea that they might lose anyone over this.

"No, but like tools, we are all made with specific functions," Raymond observes. "I can't say I'll be any use as a spy, but tell me what to look for, and I'll report it back to you next time?"
OOC: Fade out on the nitty-gritty of handler and informant?

"Right!" Right, he's here to be all professional and reliable. Hollister smiles abashedly and sticks his hand back into his pocket. "Right, yes. So, if you can, this is what we need…."
OOC: Rodger dodger.
