He has a reserved demeanor and has little intention of getting close to mortals. He does not want sympathy for his past and believes it's insulting. He prefers being alone and rarely involves himself in mortal affairs; in the few times he does have to, he asks they get to the point for their own sake. Xiao is unfamiliar with many human customs and societal norms, often finding them strange or pointless. To others, he can come off as distant and intimidating.
