[ Hijikata just HAPPENED to be looking at the menu, just in case he wanted a snack as well.
but then Heisuke just. doxxes his god damn poem right in front of Hijikata and he drops it. ]
. . .
Don't talk about that ever again or I'll-
[ his tone sounds so threatening but at least he didn't threaten to cut off Heisuke's tongue (YET)? BUT LOOK THE TEA'S HERE AND HEISUKE'S SNACK ah yes - good distraction. ]
Oh, that looks good. [ what a tasty looking sweet bun! ]
ASDFLJK WHY DO YOU LIMIT HIM THIS EDGE CANNOT BE CONSTRAINED BY HUMAN LIMITATIONS
( He wants to ask why not, but let's be real, we all know why not. Instead: ) Huh? Okay.
( DAMN Hijikata cannot find his chill in any thread! At least this time the short attention span and tea arrival combo have freed Heisuke from the Real Threats that came from Ume as a topic. For now, you know Heisuke's going to be snatching that bun the moment it arrives. He has to protect it? Besides, that tone sets him on the defensive here! )
Ooh, look, it looks like it's freshly baked, too! This place is great.
( He may only be holding it around the edges, but it'll definitely be warm and fresh to bite into! )
ugh no Hijikata's edge shouldnt be allowed to have FREE REIGN
[ HIJIKATA HAS NO CHILL BECAUSE HE'S ALWAYS ON THE . . . (wait for it) . . . edge. ]
It's a shame Mikazuki isn't here, I wanted to talk with him.
[ he was also in #InterludeLand so he hasn't seen him in awhile! Hijikata makes sure to look around the tea house JUUUST in case - no Mikazuki to be found! damn, where is his old man friend.
well, whatever... he'll pick up the tea andddd... nope. he brings the cup up to his lips but he just stops - as if he's staring into the void? interesting.
he remembers something. nothing too intense that can be counted as a War Flashback. just back in Shiekan times when he was just still a medicine peddler, and he met Kondou and Souji. a very peaceful, yet innocent time where Hijikata managed to meet someone who was a farmer just like him -- who also shared the same dream.
and clash!
Hijikata totally dropped the tea cup right after he snaps out of it, and the tea spills... practically everywhere. on the table, on his pants, and Hijikata immediately stands up from his chair to avoid more calamity. look at that though, broken glass everywhere... ]
Damn it -- !! [ a frustrated click of his tongue! AAA THE TEA IS HOT!! he lowers his voice though because he doesn't want to have any more people staring at him...
and an aggravated sigh, he looks over at Heisuke. ] Get a napkin.
stop limiting his edge is like limiting his hair ther'es jst no fkin point
( For a second Heisuke is just confused, he's torn his sweet bun open and begun blowing on it to cool it off, but is Hijikata-san okay? Is he doing alright? Is he supposed to be staring out into the void like that? The answer, apparently, is no, because the peaceful quiet is pretty quickly interrupted by a shattered glass and an irate, tea-covered vice-commander.
Heisuke practically jumps out of his skin at the initial sound, but scrambles to pick up pretty much every napkin in the holder, tossing half of them on the big puddle of tea and half of them in Hijikata's vague direction. One napkin is not enough for this? He's helping. )
Are you alright Hijikata-san? What was that? Agh, Jeez...
( Some of the tea is dripping over to his side of the table, thanks a lot! )
AAJGJDSGJDS STOP
