Watching Solus actively zone out as his gaze drifts from Tyler is one hundred percent making him think that there's either a semi-lethal amount of Persim in his system, or alcohol on top of whatever he did partake. Neither option is particularly reassuring.
He flinches a little when Solus jerks back to the present and faces him again, and notices the fresh wetness around his eyes. He really does look exhausted, physically and evidently emotionally.
I'm not terribly surprised, he admits, albeit somewhat reluctantly. Steven can be somewhat ruthless when he eschews his public face. I've been at the short end of his ire before, and he doesn't hesitate to make low comments. But I'm surprised Hythlodaeus (-and there's no fancy tricks to how Tyler spells it, simply signing H-Y-F with one hand-) would disrespect you as such, to force you back into interaction with a man who makes you actively uncomfortable.
With all the shit Tyler could, has and will continue to say about Solus, forcing him to interact with Hythlodaeus isn't on the list. But there's a sense of irony somewhere here, that he's saying that to Solus.
