Since a lot of what they say is by definition irrelevant to the plot should I just skim over it? I'm worried this might make their manner unclear to the reader and I don't want their impression of this character to rely solely on the opinions of the narrator. I feel like including longer sections of their dialogue might work for a short story but would get annoying quite quickly in a novel. For context my POV character is comparatively quiet and private but humors this character because they're working together, they eventually become friends.
