Huaisang's definitely not surprised, considering that at this point it's clear that he's dealing with some shape-changing demon, who is at the very least terrifying, built like a massive direwolf out of legend. The lack of table manners doesn't surprise him either, and Huaisang's never been a stickler for rules or propriety. He already knows better than to bring this creature in front of anyone who is, unless he intentionally wants them offended.

He sips at his own liquor, grateful for it. Despite feeling good about how his handling of the creature is going so far, he's still terrified. He's pretty sure only someone very stupid would fail to be terrified by Dieke.

"What can you do?" Huaisang asks next. It's important for him to understand his weapon, after all, if it's going to be of any use to him.
