Chachan, as one might figure, is a pretty touchy-feely sort.
Why he is, however, has not been touched upon (hee) quite so much. It's actually due to his upbringing. His first lessons with using a smith's hammer were with his father's hand guiding his strikes. When he (or any of the Gegenji kids) had trouble sleeping at night, their mother would run her hands gentle through their hair to help relax them. Even a lot of interactions with his brother consisted of reassuring pats and other similar forms of physical contact.
No wonder he's a bit of a hug-monster whose first response to dealing with an upset person is to give them a little hug or reassuring pat. It's engrained in him at this point.
(Also Lala-leghugs are adorable)
