Imma break it down for ya:

This is how he always is.

Very approachable

Waggy tail with those he's familiar with

More susceptible to "blep"

If he had a rough night sleeping or if he's got tasks to do

Still approachable, but quiet

His posture will be a bit more lax/slouch-y

Will probably yawn a lot

If he's busy/overwhelmed or being provoked

It's visible in his face and tail tip twitching

He's more blunt when he speaks, though he'll be careful with how he delivers his words

More susceptible to cutting the conversation short

This only happens if he's being provoked or very rarely does eat for a long period of time and gets "hangry"

Will try to avoid others

Snarky and sarcastic; will probably get back at offender with witty remarks and backhanded compliments

Grumbles to himself if he's not left alone in a timely manner.

He's still being provoked or someone is speaking ill of his gem kin

Grits teeth and lashes tail, clenching his fists to hold back

Might use colorful language

Will subconsciously stand tall and buff his chest in intimidation.

His mama, father or Connie was insulted

All rationality is gone, it's feral time

Will chase on all fours

Advised to wait until Fluffy or Greg settle him

Note: he is yet to hurt anyone human with this bare hands (paws?), or advance to stage 6. But he has come dangerously close a few times.
