Halsin's Incredible Patience And Nonassertiveness (unless It's Literal Life Or Death), The Way He Never

Halsin's incredible patience and nonassertiveness (unless it's literal life or death), the way he never responds with more than mild irritation or hurt even when he's insulted, the way he lets everyone assume he has no feelings- while also struggling to externalize his own emotions (minus romantic ones)- the way he sees relationships differently than others, the way he holds disdain for most of how society views things, the way he is incredibly empathetic to the point of not being able to tolerate any suffering or unfairness, the way he has a poor sense of boundaries (particularly around sex), his dialogue if turned down by Tav about having thought their interest in his lovers was a sign of romantic interest, the implications that Thaniel was possibly his only childhood friend, his finding more companionship with animals than people to an even greater extent than most other Druids have, his extremely humble nature, the way he overfocuses on his goals to the point of letting everything else fall by the wayside, the rigidity of some of his ways of thinking especially WRT nature...
