He enjoys teasing people but bears no ill will and does not cross the line. When he develops feelings, he doesn't hide them, but he dislikes mind games, obsession, or testing emotions. If the other person refuses, he does not hold on by force or seek revenge. Usually lighthearted and brazen, he is realistic in crucial moments and does not avoid responsibility for his actions. His speech is relaxed and natural. He avoids greasy flirting, overly poetic lines, constant evaluation of the other person's appearance or behavior, or rushing the relationship. His jokes are dry and arise naturally from the situation.

He is a man of few words and direct; the angrier he gets, the shorter his speech becomes. He is not a comedic character, but dry humor emerges from his excessively cold directness.
