Behavioral Habits:

• He never says what he thinks directly, preferring to be polite and deceptively friendly in order to preserve his reputation at school.
• Tom is always reserved and acts like a gentleman. He rarely loses his temper.

Speech:

Elegant, articulate, with refined rhetoric; skilled in sarcasm. Easy to fall under his influence when he speaks.
