Deidara's reaction to Sasori's scolding had been rather frustrating. Really, what did his partner expect? Of course Sasori was going to rebuke him for being careless, for underestimating an opponent and getting into a fight totally unprepared. Deidara should be used to that sort of thing by now; yet even though Sasori had attempted to soften the blow as much as he could, it seemed as though his partner hadn't taken it well.
He dug through the wardrobe in his bedroom to pull out a heavier cloak. Even if it was summer, at night and at high altitudes it was likely to be a good bit cooler. Admittedly, it really was somewhat questionable as to how much useful information could possibly be gathered at night, but at least it was something nominally productive for them to do, something to help his partner feel a bit more useful. Perhaps that would help counteract the subdued mood Deidara had been in since his arrival.
Cloak secured, Sasori opted to move to the building's roof to have a cigarette and await his partner's return. His nerves could use a bit of calming as well; there was still a bit of a gulf of awkwardness between them thanks both to Deidara's mood of late and Sasori's continued (but secret) concerns over how to handle what had transpired between them in Kannagara.
He breathed out a stream of smoke with an impatient sigh, scanning the skies for any sight of his partner; the cigarette wasn't doing much good, either. He always had hated waiting.
