[HE IS JUST MAKING A FACE. Stop fucking teasing him and laughing at him. He is going to dunk Childe into this garbage and cube him. (Then be cubed later.) Thankfully, Childe gets distracted enough to not tease him.
Also, I gotta reiterate that this is literally Hisoka word for word, I'm sorry. You truly understand that clown on a fundamental narrative level now.]
You have an interesting take, [he admits.] I understand when your life is on the line, often you don't have the choice to lose a fight. But when that is not the case, many people still crave the victory.
But I can see you respect the experience and strength gained even if there may be a fair loss.
[He makes another face, but for a different reason this time.]
...I will be honest with you. [Since Childe had been a little honest with him.] I do not particularly like fighting. It is not a favored pastime. However, what I said about being strong is true.
I want to learn everything I can possibly learn and master about dunamancy. Time, space, realities, gravity. I will never stop practicing and honing my magic. For fighting - sure, if I must. It... would not be the first time I used it for violence nor the last. I can only grow stronger from the battles I do win. Perhaps the circumstance will... unlock new spells or understandings of dunamancy in the heat of the moment.

For now, though, he mostly just listens to this thoughtfully--and then winks at him.] Well, nobody's perfect. We'll work on it.

STOP WINKING.]
Condescension will get you in trouble.

I'm not being condescending! We just have... different preferences, that's all. But that doesn't mean we can't be comrades, right?
