"And you fished me out of the water at the harbour." It meant a lot to Illya, especially because back then they didn't know each other all that well yet, and it would have been easier for Napoleon to just let him drown. Of course, gratitude wasn't the only reason why he came back to help him and the American probably knew it, but Illya could pretend and try not to be too obvious.
"Childhood is not interesting subject of conversation." It hurt too much and it would only make him angry. Illya didn't want that when they were finally having an amicable conversation. He looked outside the window, trusting Napoleon to get them where they had to go and offered a proper answer. "I like playing chess, reading...dancing too, on occasion, if it doesn't end in a wrestling match."
