Theres a lot to gain by him simply trying to understand the bow. Although what you said about the bow is true for Tigre, it might not be the case for its previous owners. I doubt his dad would leave him a power that was completely uncontrollable. By the way, there is a lot of mystery behind dragonic tools as well, the main difference is that their past is well known & they have a belief system by the people, thats completely unrelated to the actual weapon(which works by its own will, not by some system people got use to seeing). The bow has a will as well & I cant see how understanding that will could be worse than pretending it isnt there. All these other strange inhuman beings keep attacking him knowing about the bow & its power, so why would he not try to ask the bow why that is happening?

Because the key words here are 'belief system'. Meaning that there are people that believe in these systems. Meaning that on the odd chance that Tigre
isn't utterly repulsed by the idea of communicating with a potentially hostile individual, that has threatened his friend, while in the middle of a conflict... there's also other people's views on its usage. The immediate political fallout and subsequent issues brought up by the bow would be detrimental to Tigre. and the scale of Tir na Fa's actions (which tend to flair towards the dramatic) make it difficult to communicate with her innocuously, adding on the fact that her whimsical aspects and generally cutthroat ideals make it difficult to communicate, especially when he can't find time to relax/sleep let alone try to talk with a bow. And going back to your original point, just because someone doesn't communicate with someone else
does not mean that they fear the other person; preferring to use one's time constructively to plan, or rest, rather than talking with a person that they may dislike, offers more to his current situation than the powers or information Tir na Fa
might consider offering him (that, to be honest, he's probably not ready to use anyways).
