Simon can understand that better than Angel might thing but he's too guarded to admit as much. He never had a chance to think about what he wants and with the weight of stopping the apocalypse back home on his shoulders, there still feels like very little room for it. What he wants is to save the good things so no other children become damaged and broken.

"I've always been content with what I'm given to eat." It's the closest he'll come to saying he doesn't know how to want very well either. Before he was old enough to really have opinions he'd been thrust into a world of demons and magic. He'd spent half of his life in an asylum and in a way he's still a prisoner of it even when he'd escaped.
