Things hadn't settled at all for Riley. He'd only agreed to come because he figured that it would make Xie happy. Even then as soon as he had his cider he set it next to him and watched the person playing the instrument instead. Already Baiyi had gone overboard again just to get the cider and it sat poorly with him. So he just wanted to zone out and watch the festival around them instead.

He was still extremely hurt, after all. At least with his friends they gave him respect and trust. He wasn't feeling that here with Baiyi and it wounded him deeply.
