It's the excuse you've been looking for to play soft, fluffy things.

Sharing is caring: You notice that the other person is in need of something--a beverage, or a space on the couch, or what-have-you--and you're willing to share.
Oh no oh no I'm sorry: You accidentally hurt them in a minor way, oh no!
Pets are cute: You're both cooing over something fuzzy. Kitty? Doggo? Tribble...?
Can't sleep: It's way too late but you just can't sleep. Fortunately you're not the only one up.
Stop and smell the roses: It's just a wonderful day to stroll around and appreciate life.
It's not that scary: One of you has to face down a fear--heights, wasps, planes. The other person is there to help.
Waiting for bail: The old saying, a good friend will bail you out--a great friend will be in jail with you, saying "that was fun!" Maybe a friend you didn't even know you had before today.
Cooking: Nothing brings people together like sous-cheffing for each other.
Viewer's choice! Idk man there's a lot of soft scenarios in the world, make up your own!

[ The Swede has never seen a baby seal before... oh... it is so cute he instantly tears up. There is a strong similarity between the baby seal's expression and the Swede's. Swede really has that sad puppy eyes thing going on too. ]

I... I loff it..... I am so happy... I... I may pet it? [ Very... very carefully, he gently pets it on the head. It is so soft... ]

H... hallo... do you also... have no Mama...

[Loki does NOT plan on telling the Swede that sometimes people hunt and kill these precious things for their coats. This one is safe for life, regardless, and as far as he can tell, the mother was eaten by an orca or shark.

When petted, the seal makes a funny beeeeeehhhhhh noise, halfway between a lamb and a human complaining. It feels safe for the moment, but it might be confused.

Loki figures that's okay, the Swede is usually a little confused, too.] Have you ever heard stories about Selkies? Irish fairy tales. Supposedly, there are sea beings that are seals half the time and can take off that form like a skin to look human and visit the shore.

This isn't one, obviously, but it's a good story.

[ N-no, that would break the Swede's heart! He loffs this little creature with all his heart.

He pets very gently, so careful not to hurt it or pet too hard. They are united in confusion whenever their eyes meet. ] Oh... ja... I heard...

I think... this one is just a little baby... you can tell when it is a selkie because the eyes are different, I heard that before... [ He has some very basic sailor knowledge of things like selkies, mermaids, the kraken, mostly nonsense though, the things these pirates will pass around. He pets the baby seal's side, softly. ]

This baby... baby seal... is also a Swede... we are the same color? [ He means his hair and the fur, though it's white of course, it is now a honorary Swede! Swede is so happy. ]
