[ Hijikata dabbed some of the wet pieces of paper with the papertowel, but... ugh. yeah, these are ruined. some of them had fresh ink on them too, so it was pretty hopeless. so Hijikata just clicks his tongue. ]

Tch... I was almost done too, and now I have to throw these away..! Seriously... What a waste!

[ ugh relax, Hijikata you might pop a blood vessel. he's not getting mad at Tsurumaru though, mostly just grumbling to himself and whatnot.

he'll crumble up those papers though and just throw them away. ] Now I need to go change my clothes... A waste of time...

[ oh...

he apologized -- Hijikata just rubs the back of his neck and sighs. ] It's not your fault.
