[Oh please, as if the reason he chose Dirk is as shallow as that. Honestly, Steven's seen what Hythlodaeus is packing, if anything, he picked the less shallow option!]
Why wouldn't I care? Hythlodaeus means more to me than you could ever comprehend. Which is why when there is aught amiss with him, I most certainly take note of it.
And there is aught amiss. I see no reason why someone as engaging and brilliant as he would find any continued and—the mind boggles—waxing interest in someone like you. The whole notion is laughably absurd. You're about as interesting as observing a broken clock.
That he would seek your company, yet seem distant from me... Something does not add up.
