[There's a brief pause while he considers it. He was expecting Raven to stop by because there are questions that need to be answered and things that need to be addressed, but otherwise... Well, there isn't anyone else he was expecting to see today. Maybe if Alexei was feeling particularly rude he'd swing by, but the rest?]
I wasn't expecting it. Maybe if I had been my reaction would have been different.
[Or maybe not, since it is Huaisang. He can't say he knows a lot about the man, but Huaisang has always struck him as terribly sincere; if Huaisang was swinging by here, it likely wasn't to accuse him of getting away with murder. So maybe Huaisang would have been an exception anyway, just because of who he is as a person. Maybe someone else would call that friendship, but it certainly won't be Yeager!!]
I will be just fine in a few days or so - oh, and if you could keep my irritation just between the two of us? I would greatly prefer that no one else see just how annoyed I am with all of this.
[Because in the end Yeager really only knows how to present one face for himself, and emotions like anger and frustration have no place in that mask.]
