I don't quite know how to answer that, because each meeting was interesting to me. I would not have returned otherwise. I know I cut one of our meetings short once, and I am sorry for that. I genuinely do find your life interesting, Hob. The larger moments and the smaller ones. How you pass the time, what brought you up short. What changed and what hasn't.
Perhaps we all find difficulty in seeing the fascination with ourselves. Or well, many of us do.
Yes, I've an interest in you, personally. Although it is also true that I sought to understand humanity better. Though I don't think all humans would have made the choice to live as long as you have.
[Enjoy it too much, as he enjoys all things, one might say.]
I guess you and your sister chose poorly that day.
[Picking the one man at the inn, maybe in all of England, who would never regret the passing of years no matter what happened. One day, perhaps, he'll be ready, but he still does not anticipate that day coming for some time.]
She inquired about you, you know. When I saw her last. She asked how you were doing. I think she fancies taking some credit for our continued relationship.
I have not spoken to her since before our reunion at the new inn. I assure you that has everything to do with our family dynamics, not you. They are... complicated, to say the least.

[Hob only meant to tease him. Dream once corrected him when Hob asked if he was interested in him.]

Does she.. know about us?
[Beyond the friendship, Hob means.]
