Since your conversation is on paper, you can't really put feelings unless your specifically write it.

I'm taking more about tone. It's not the same thing, Sometimes the tone will give feeling but it's imprecise at best. Here's what I'm talking about.

The scene on Beacon cliff between Glynda and Ozpin shows us that Ozpin won't talk unless he has something to say. Glynda prattles about this student and that student while Ozpin stays silent and watched Ruby.

Now let's say you have Ozpin in your fan fiction, if you portray him as a chatterbox it will remove your readers from your tale because automatically your Ozpin and the show's Ozpin is different and the original will always win.
