[Hux is just sure of himself that he'll be able to separate any attachment or friendly feelings toward Ren once they return to their galaxy. There's just no other option and he is more than willing to throw the knight under a bus if the situation calls for it back home. Ren knows and Hux holds himself to the same standard as well. The First Order will always come first and any personal sentiments will go away when the Order comes into play.
This is just... different. A chaotic world without the Order and thus building trust is important. It's unfortunate that he's grown to almost like Ren, but the consequences of doing so here is not significant at least.
Everything is surely professional and strategic still, right?]
It seems so. [He sees the excuse, but doesn't call him out on it. He'll let Ren retire for the night.]
