[Some of it's principle, but it's also a class difference. He had a stuffy upbringing and never got into the typical playground brawls with other kids. Who would he even throw hands with? His older brother, who was raised to be a prim and proper heir? His sickly childhood frenemy, whose weak constitution meant he might collapse from a stiff gust of wind? Nobles fight with their words, and Hiyori grew up to be plenty good at doing that. Passive aggressive barbs meant to target someone's weakness, insults hidden within compliments, and snappy rejoinders: all are tools in his arsenal!]
See, you just insulted me with your words, but I'm not about to hit you for it. Or worse, throw one of these flasks at you! And that alone makes me more even-tempered and reasonable than that Tohsaka girl. And lots of other people too!
[Though "wuss" is pretty mild in the grand scheme of insults.]
I don't know how many people have. The ones who supposedly filled their deck and made their wish were J and Jin Mingming. There's nothing to say there can't be others, though. If someone wished to go back home, then we wouldn't see them around.
[But he doesn't know anyone personally who has filled their deck, and that's worrisome. How long can it really take to collect fifty cards? If it weren't for Jun, he's sure he could have accomplished that a long time ago.
He frowns when Bakugo threatens him (and after that talk they just had about the benefits of not resorting to violence!), but he also recognizes it as an empty threat. And he's still distracted by the "I can sing and dance" thing, so:]
I was going to suggest moving on with the tour, since we've sort of been lingering here a while. But now I want to hear you sing! I don't suppose you'll oblige even if I ask though, right?
