Huaisang is glad to agree to their arranged date, eager to befriend Rosemary and find out more about who--and perhaps what--she is. Not just another of the locals, not just another of the robbies, and certainly the only one outside of the new neighbors who has offered any kind of indication that she might enjoy if things were different than the accepted standard. Huaisang's very curious about her, and he's been charmed by her as well. He hopes to be able to develop the friendship further.
