Henry likes you, Javert. Whether you want him to or not.
The sad fact of the matter is that Henry needs people he can troll. The drawing-rooms of aristocratic London are gratifyingly full of subjects, but he doesn't have nearly as many in Keeliai. So Javert fills a necessary role in his life. (Alas.) He recognises that Javert is no dummy, so he knows he can't send him up over a lack of intelligence, so he's happy to troll Javert by continuing to recommend hideously inappropriate literature to him. Forever. The only reason he didn't try to start out Javert on Á rebours is that it would have probably cut the game off before it even started, and that's no fun.
Trolling aside, though, he finds Javert interesting in his absolute rigidity and orderliness—there aren't many people Henry knows like that, so he also enjoys talking to Javert for the sheer novelty of the man.
