( Hwylryn seems a little surprised Ish returns to the topic - it makes sense once Ish asks it, because Hwylryn knows he explained Nothing, but he didn't think Ish thought much of it.
I forget if Hwylryn set down his drink or not but at some point he did (gaslighting) so now he's gonna munch on that pear while he thinks.
It's not like he has no reason, but the question of "why" is interesting. This isn't like Junior, where he can go down an endless list of endearing things he likes about him. It's like... hmmm... )
... I think you're someone I could've had a lot of fun with in a different situation.
( Like, actual fun. Ish knows his theatrics and dramatics, and guess what Hwy enjoys. )
Since, mmmm... I can't forgive you for harming the people I care for, and I was in the middle of something when you brought me here, but I don't know how much I mind what you've done to everyone else.
( Somehow, "I can't forgive you," and "but I enjoy you" still coexists. This is, after all, how he felt for Snow and White - and how his feelings have settled toward Akira and Akira's friends. I like you. I can't forgive you. It's a little maddening to live with.
In any case - when one later sees him be chill about Shiv's death, it might suggest, yeah, he really doesn't mind that much. Some have suggested they cared about a different set of relationships in past loops(?), but the idea is too abstract and hypothetical for Hwylryn to worry over it or lay it at Ish's feet. )
So, there's that. As for the rest...
( He chews on pear, studying Ish... )
I think you're interesting. I guess... I think you project one thing and you don't want people to see what else there is. Is it something tender and raw? Is it something ugly and personal? I don't know if I'll be the one who gets to see it, but I like talking to you, and I like seeing other people talk to you. Because sometimes I get to see bits and pieces of what you seem reluctant to show.
( And then, with equal gravity, he continues: )
Plus, you taught me to play cards. Oh, and it's funny to see you get riled up when I find a way to tease you. And I like how you don't get why I do things, but you let me do them and you try to understand them anyway.
( He smiles. )
I think we're doing the same thing, in a way. Right? We both don't get the other person. So we're wondering what makes them tick. I like that I don't understand you, so I always have something to wonder about. Isn't that better than being bored? ... I think that's more than enough reason to like something.
