[He's definitely worse. Please don't die, Hijikata-san. You are very loved by Horikawa, and with whom will Kanedaki bond upon his arrival if not his vice commander and previous master? That's a no-go, so never mind sprained wrists, that list is doing miracles in keeping heads attached to bodies when it comes to the Die-jo. It has to get its name from somewhere, right?]

It really is more comfortable, isn't it? [He'll be the last to admit that he's still struggling here andt here with the technology, (okay, no he won't,) but having something like a dojo in the city nonetheless feels like he's been able to take a little piece of home and bring it here. Whether that dojo be the kind that Hijikata would often spend time in, or the sort of setting that was found in the citadel. They're somewhere that feels like home, especially to a sword such as him. Before he can really think about it, he finds himself smiling at those kinds of thoughts.]

Huh? Of course! [He sounds kind of surprised that otherwise would have been assumed.] I may train beginners, but that doesn't mean that I neglect my training, Hijikata-san! I wondered if it might be good for us to train together too, though.
