[For a good, long moment Zulf isn't sure what to do; admittedly, this is somewhat less alarming than suddenly being latched onto, but the hand-petting is...mildly creepy, um...
At the same time, he does understand what Archer is trying to do; he can't say that he isn't grateful for it, either. He honestly doesn't know how to give physical affection very well himself; he usually limits it to incredibly awkward touching on the shoulders or something, and he never really sustains it any longer than he has to. So in a way it's nice to know that not everyone knows how to do this, either.]
...thank you, Archer. I appreciate it.

I likely shouldn't have discussed this with you. It's not something most want to deal with.
