Yeah, somehow "hmmm" just really isn't helpful. There's really not a good answer for it. You would think if he was just busy or tired, he could just say that, and get back to you later. It's amazing how fast their minds/emotions change. Recoiling a bit after two good days maybe?
Going back to the pen on wall issue - have you tried the Mr Clean Magic Eraser sponge things? I have had good luck with those for similar issues in the past.
