[ but kondo isn't here, and tsurumaru isn't here to give these sweets to hijikata's harem of okita soujis. therefore, hijikata has to eat them!! it makes complete sense!! tsurumaru is going to get hijikata to eat them, even if he ends up dead or Gravely Injured. ]

I'll have to say — I'm surprised that being watched bothers you so much, mister exhibitionist. Isn't that your thing?

[ ugh... that was too easy........

but geez, if it does bother him so much, tsurumaru heads back a few steps, closing the door shut (and taking his time to lock it, too) before returning to the table, where he starts removing the boxes of sweets from the plastic bag, setting them, again, on more of hijikata's papers. papers? more like placemats! ]

Geez, they're just sweets. No one's going to think badly of you if you treat yourself to some, you know?
