Outwardly, or at least to the uninitiated, Di Feisheng seems immune to the bleak but fraught atmosphere of the day, deceptively still and calm in both cases. Inwardly, the frustrations of inactivity, weather, and their inability to fight back Li Lianhua's inexorable decline are just as stifling and agitating by turns. It's just as well that Fang Duobing is choosing a channel for what could otherwise have easily become volatility, despite all the ironclad will keeping his dread in check. Though it wouldn't have killed the brat to be less...like that, in his request, which is an extremely generous and forbearing way to choose to view a demand. He's used to it, and he's already unfolding carefully around the occasional tug in his side to throw in his lot with this distraction, but the sweep of his eyes as he catches up carries as much affront as curiosity. A more classically sarcastic man might ask if shaoye is sure there's nothing else helpful he ought to bring along; Di Feisheng is not dignifying this perceived accusation of unreadiness with a verbal response.
"What are you planning?" is his own demand, with a last glance compass-accurate in the direction of an absence. Curiosity, and need for distraction, but also trepidation. How long will it take? Must they both go? So many questions from Di-mengzhu these days. "This better be important."
