He can see why other people would find her appealing, and she is aesthetically pleasing in a general sense, but there isn’t much about her that stands out for him in particular.
If I Would Go On A Date With Them: Not even if we were the last two one earth || No || Maybe || Eh….Sure || Yes || WILL YOU MARRY ME
He doesn’t trust her enough for that, as you will... see shortly.

Illadyia has made... a number of remarks that suggest she’d like to mother him, and he is DEEPLY uncomfortable with that idea. He’s been an independent adult for over 200 years now, the concept of someone swooping in and making decisions for him presses every one of his anti-authority buttons.

She may have good intentions, but she simply doesn’t know anything about Sin’dorei culture, so how could she be a good parent to him (or Blagden) if she knows nothing of the people he’s apart of? She’s made a number of small, off-hand comments that he feels have been casually, unconsciously condescending regarding Sin’dorei, so... yeah.

If I Would Sleep With Them: Not Enough Alcohol in the World || No || Maybe if I were wasted || Maybe || Eh…Sure || Yes || TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF NOW!
Everything else aside, she’s not really his type.
My Comfort Level With Your Muse: Keep a Distance || Okay You Can Stand There, But Don’t Touch Me || Let’s Get Coffee and Talk || Let’s Cuddle || I Can Change In Front of You || Let’s Take a Bath Together
The whole... lack of trust makes him defensive around her. At this point, he might even be looking for reasons to keep her at arm’s length....
If I See You As: A Stranger || An Acquaintance || A Friend || A Close Friend || My Best Friend || A Crush || The Love of My Life
Sometimes, people just don’t click, and this is one of those times.
