[ not all grandpas need to be grandpa-ly... mikazuki covers enough of being grandpa-ly for the rest of them, and grandpas that can live forever and forever should be more lively! at least, that's what tsurumaru thinks. otherwise, they'll rot away and die of boredom.
somehow, tsurumaru finds himself a bit more pleased than he thought he'd be, when it turns out that hijikata does, in fact, like the cake; mostly because he'd spent a long time picking it out! if it were up to him, he'd present a pure white cake with fruits and nuts and everything inside, but he'd selected the one that looked most normal — white fondant, with a standard assorted set of toppings. (since if it looked weird, would hijikata have eaten it?)
with that clear, he'll stab his own slice with his fork, and it does taste like normal cake... he also needs to thank mikazuki again for funding this, since very little of today had actually come out of tsuru's own pocket.
but gosh, that's so sad... ]
Really? [ ah, he's smart enough not to voice that, though! he keeps it locked away in his thoughts.
it is kind of saddening to hear that either way, so he leans forward a bit. ] You don't celebrate this every year?
ugh i hope he's feeling better
