[@Ever] He really feels for people who struggle to communicate, because he's always been pretty open - more to do with how he was raised than anything else. I figure he'd have quite an amplified read on her than most people because her ability involves active projection - although it might be interesting if she can exert [i]her[/i] ability on him without speech because of it (although that would probably depend on how her ability works). Although she probably wouldn't take advantage of that too much? (I don't know) It'd probably be quite difficult for him to be around her though due to the intensity of her emotions - he feels things pretty deeply and sometimes gets really overloaded - but he'd think it was worth it if they became genuine friends and he thought he was helping her in terms of communication.
