[ HE'S A CHILD... what did you expect, for him to deal with this in a logical and mature way? that crack to hijikata's back also should be pretty refreshing for him! but tsuru doesn't have time to mention his kind intentions before he's ever-so-gratefully toppled from his comfortable seat.

he lands to the side in a heap, but quickly collects himself back to a sitting position, with a petulant frown on his face.

since sitting on him didn't work (he totally expected it to work, tbh?), he decides to explain himself in a more... direct way. ]

I'm just worried, you know — you spend all day working, and then you come home and still work. If you can't take care of yourself while you overwork yourself, then...

[ he goes silent, but it's a thoughtful silence, meant for hijikata to fill in. ]
