So this evening H writes me and says that he is beginning to wind things up there. He said that a friend in yet another european country has invited him for Christmas. Then he said:
"I don't know how you stand. You haven't said. Back for Christmas important for you? or back for Christmas annoying for you or what? probably i didn't guess the right word, eh?"
D, now that I've calmed down a bit from yesterday... I think he's telling you what his agenda is i.e. he won't be back for Xmas. Plan accordingly.
I'd say don't reply. He will probably repeat the pattern with a financial question and interjection with the Xmas thing in a follow up email.
Hmm... another idea is this... sidestep the issue and raise the dental bill with him. "H, I just received the dental bill for my teeth and need to pay it. You said you would assist, how should I proceed?" I don't know when your bill is due, but raise the issue. Just be business. See if you can get it taken care of. Make it an urgent issue... you know... like he does.
