Body Language
KindlesFlame appears to have the reserved-but-casual body language of an early film star heartthrob. Lots of crossed arms, leaning on doors, leaning back. He also has the long-legged guy habit of sitting with his legs folded (ankle on opposite knee). On top of that, some learned professorial hand gesturing: mid-air finger counting ('point one... point two'), finger wagging, and hand up to stop students from interrupting him.
Jahir observes in Mindtouch that the Tam-illee's control over his ears, expression and shoulders is flawless. [6] And again in Dreamhearth: "Few expressions crossed the Tam-illee's face that he did not allow."[7] He rarely shows unease (as with flicked back ears).
Most of his subconscious/uncontrolled body language is related to thinking: He taps tables or desks while thinking, does the 'mmm' thing. Laughter tends to come out as barks.
