"You should get out of your room more often."
"... for someone holed up in their room all day..."
etc.
Xavarian just hates this. Because
1) it implies people think he is in his workroom all day, squandering time, life in general, and not going out to see the world, when in fact he most certainly is out and about frequently, (just not when most people are awake,) and
2) it implies that they have any say about what he should or shouldn't be doing. Which, no. He does what he wants, you aren't his real dad. He will fight you with his pouting, nerdery, and accidental immolations, you can't tell him what to do.
Even better was that every single time someone has said this to him he was never in his room. The lack of common sense baffles him.
Xavarian's also real sick of loud noises of all kinds, but that probably won't be going away.
