[That's a good Vice Commander! Though he seems a little puzzled at the idea of Hijikata not wanting to push things onto him, (it's honestly surreal; he much prefers the instances in which just about everything permitted has been passed to him,) but just the agreement he receives is enough for him to be pleased by it. He offers up a nod to follow.]
It's not any trouble, you know. It's only natural that I would want to be of assistance to you, as your sword.
[Perhaps not currently his master, but his sword nonetheless, as evidenced by the fact that Hijikata still keeps Horikawa with him. For now though, he'll just give Hijikata a gentle reminder as he leaves the room again.]
You should get ready for bed in the meantime, Hijikata-san! I'll make sure that everything is prepared for you when you're done.
[He's pretty sure he remembers bringing chamomile tea over, so he'll do his best to prepare that to help Hijikata sleep.]
[ Look... This is Hijikata Toshizou, aka "I'll take on as much work as I can so I don't burden everyone else". Yep... Yep. He wouldn't feel right burdening Horikawa with much more work too! Isn't the house chores enough... ]
You don't have to tell me twice. [ Why did he get a sword that's such a good bean... Horikawa you're too good to him... So, he watches Horikawa leave the room and now he's left alone for the meantime. Guess he should probably listen to what Horikawa said, or he'll (strangely) fuss at him more. ]
It's kind of strange... Is something bothering him? Maybe I should ask...?
[ With that, he covers his mouth to yawn. Now that his focus isn't on his work anymore he finally realizes how tired he really is... Damn.
First step, put away those papers. Second step, nightclothes! Something more comfortable for the time being. Theeeen finally he'll untie that ponytail and get his comb to brush it. Should he go check on Horikawa, or just stay at his desk... Hmm...
He'll just wait patiently for now. It's relaxing time now, apparently??? ]
