[ ish generally isn't good at schooling his expression, but he does keep his fairly neutral throughout. there might be a slight huff at projection, but it's much more minor than you might expect. ]
Well—if I was made for anything, it was to understand humans. You're not human, so it makes sense that I don't understand you. But it still digs at me, you know? Birds will always try to fly towards the sky, frogs will always return to the pond at one point or another.
You remind me more of an animal than a human, and trust me, that's a compliment. [ he hadn't been sure until this conversation, but now he's just coded Hwylryn as a critter. ]
And boredom is terrible. Luckily, I've always been good at creating a mood wherever I go, as long as there's someone around for me to play with.
[ he takes a final sip, finishing his drink. ]
If you want me to teach you more things ask, and if I'm in the right mood, I'll teach you. Just don't forget that I'm not human either.
[ not surprisingly, he is sir not addressing any part that has to do with the bits and pieces of himself. but maybe the rest of this answer says enough. ]
( Hwy seems to preen when Ish says he certainly reads more like a creature than person - and, if he were still in his dragon form, he probably would be preening quite strikingly. He's proud of what he is - strange and incomprehensible though it may be, especially for someone perhaps created to dissect the hearts of humanity. )
Are you in the right mood right now?
( If you give a Hwyl a cookie... he says this half-jokingly, but, still - not entirely in jest.
He doesn't mind that Ish sidesteps this thing, the way Ish has sidestepped these other things. When there are things he wants to know, he will push, as he pushed forward with that deal - but these other things can come and go with the tide. If Hwyl is meant to know them, he'll uncover them.
More than anything, he loves to play. So they have these things in common. )
. . . I did wonder why your magic felt so warm. ( He wouldn't say Ish feels "warm" right now, per se - but . . . hmmm . . . It makes him surprising. Layered? Like this faucet of him, different than Hwyl expected. ) I think if you were as straightforward as a human, it wouldn't be so fun to come over and play.
( Ah, the Goddess, is it... He has to wonder how Ish ended up the way he is when his mother-creator was rich with sunshine. (Where's the American sitcom of Ish's family with Ish as the weird goth child,) (ykw i'll just assume that's what his canon is)
But that's interesting, too. )
I'm only ever honest. ( But he seems quite happy Ish accepts it, this time around. ) What's a fun game to play? The castle has card games, board games, that table with the balls on it . . .
( Pool, he means. Not that he knows what it's called. Whatever Ish thinks might be fun for two people who aren't really human, he'd be happy to learn. )

...my magics warm because of it's origin, but thanks. Thanks for the other compliment too.
[ he winks, because unlike all the other compliments hwylryn has pushed at him before, this one he can accept wholeheartedly. ]

Did you want to learn now?

If you want to teach me now.
( Unhelpful answer. )
But I don't mind staying to talk a little more before you teach me, either. I'm having fun either way.
( both options can lead to handwave but!! )

Maybe I was just trying to steal more of your time.
