[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.]
[ Huaisang gave a small smile, however weak it was at that.
He wondered how the other's reaction would have been different, but decided that wasn't important right now. He's actually a little happy that something about everything concerning this week went a teensy bit okay. Even if everything shitty dwarfed it majorly. Sometimes, life was like that. ]
I can get that...it's really none of anyone else's business anyway. So, your secret is safe with me, I promise. If you want, we can even pinky swear on it, though you don't seem like the type of person who would.
[ Anyway, he's terrible at a lot of things, but keeping mum on a matter like this was easy to him. It was like when he was younger and had to do something similar because he and other disciples were being bad students and breaking the rules! ]
Oh? Do you really think I'm a man who doesn't trust pinky swears?
[In other words, he is absolutely not above this and he certainly isn't going to pretend for even a minute that he is. He holds out a gloved pinky instead!!]
Not that I really need the reassurance - I do believe you, after all! - but I'm unopposed~
I really thought you were! But, I'm glad to see you're not opposed.
[ Oh my god, Yeager, please. But his expression brightened up some more...it's more subdued than how it'll usually be due to everything, but Huaisang was the type of person who found joy in the smallest things sometimes. Things that may seem kind of childish. ]
Also, do you remember when I said that you're a fun person? Well, you get to hear that again.

["Fun" is a definition for how he is but probably not the right one. Anyway, pinky swear!! ☆]
