It was always going to be a beach, but maybe it's not too late to walk out and join the waves. Just to see if Di Feisheng would join him there again, too.

The presence beside him is too familiar to truly be startling, even if he has been caught unawares for once. Now that it's come to this, it seems like avoiding Di Feisheng had always been a fool's errand from the moment he'd spotted him in the castle. So it's mostly resignation that washes over him, rather than irritation or regret or dread or bonding. There's a lot here he could be feeling, so it's probably best to stick with resignation, to be honest.

"Mmm," he hums a disgruntled acknowledgement of both the man and his words. "Di-mengzhu has the leisure for walks on the beach after being taken away by unknown forces? I'm surprised." His gaze remains fixed on the sea for now. This is a threat.
