I have agreed to nothing. [ to get dostoevsky to do anything requires considerable amounts of coaxing and effort most wouldn't bother with. conversely, he does not ask things of people, he expects them. In Gogol's case it isn't very different— when his hand reaches to chuck gogol under the chin if allowed, but gogol can certainly move back and avoid it entirely.
(as if they're something like friends but the offered gesture is too friendly, too much skimming the line of something else and dostoevsky knows this. human nature is human nature, even gogol isn't above that no matter how hard he fights it).
ultimately, he has no time right now for gogol right now. there is no use for him currently. ]
