[Glacius seems a bit cautious about the way Taako is whacking away at his hand—not because it hurts him, but because he's afraid the child might hurt himself on his sturdy armor. He's also not sure if he should clarify that he isn't exactly an elemental, but decides against it; the specifics don't matter too much when he's dealing with children. He can still explain the important bits.]

My outer shell can be melted if exposed to extreme heat, as it is made of ice as I explained; however, underneath that lies flesh and bone, similar to you. It is susceptible to burns, so I would appreciate it if you could use caution with any fire-related abilities.

And as for your questions... [Glacius swivels his head back to Taako, turning his palm upward to hopefully encourage a gentler sort of touch.] ... I wish they would come for me and take me away from all of this, but at the moment I am not sure it is possible. If I could I would free you all, though, and take you back to your own worlds. Until I find a way to do that, I must keep as many safe as I can... I promise that includes the two of you, if you'll let me.
