HOKAY I should have like responded to this earlier.
Simon, we're in the breakfast thread together. If you want to back up some and re-tag I am totally down with it because I didn't realise that she was an empath and thus wasn't giving you the empathy-related information you needed.
Straight out of his application: Since losing part of his soul he has become harder, more volatile, and less predictable while attempting to force himself into being practically icy. In many ways he is a being at war with himself, unable to accept the changes the salamander made he has refused to learn to control them while convincing himself that he is controlling them. Volatile is a word that describes him well; he see-saws between holding his emotions in so hard that they cannot be seen and explosions of feeling that pose a literal danger to anyone in the way. Simon has a fragile wall of stability, which could easily be torn and expose the depths of his flaws. Even his pleasure can ignite fires in the area, because of how tightly he attempts to hold these things down. Simon is also deeply, inconsolably lonely; the nature of his physical problems mean that he is incapable of interacting with people in normal ways and adds another layer of enforced isolation.
If you'd rather not delete & retag I am down with "he's in one of his holding them under super tight reign" moments.
Again, I'm sorry for not providing the information that you needed.
(And she can totally pick up anything at all from Kiziah and Chrome.)
