[ have fun with all that hair Tsuru... It's a lot! Although, on the bright side Hijikata is being very calm about Tsurumaru doing all this to him, isn't that nice? Well, of course, Hijikata is well aware he isn't in the position to protest against anything since he did ask Tsurumaru to do this. So, most what Hijikata does is watch Tsurumaru carefully, giving him a few glances here and there. ]

That's fools talk. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. You know that, right? [ ugh... this guy is almost like Harada? Fighting recklessly just because he can and it's 'fun'! Of course, Harada is human just like the rest so that's even more worrying.

it's not like Hijikata can look back at Tsurumaru and glare at him for that last comment, though. However, he does retort. ] I was moving just fine so I wanted to get my work out of the way. [ but there's a pause, as if he gets caught on a certain thought... ]

I get it though. Look, I'll rest later, alright?

[ then he falls silent for several moments, now that he's focusing on it; the motions of his hair being brushed then pulled and tied, he has to admit it feels really nice, almost relaxing too. Hijikata takes the liberty to lean forward on his desk on his elbow, and rest his chin on his palm. There's a relaxed hum that leaves his lips and he finally decides to add a comment: ] I'm surprised. You're pretty good at this.
