I was thinking that we should spar again. I figure things might go differently now that you don’t have amnesia. I mean, you didn't even know how to hold a sword properly back then, remember?
[ as if Hijikata forgot all about it ]
That is, only if you aren't busy at the moment.
[ He sounds the friendliest he’s ever been, but Hijikata’s discerning ear will probably pick up on the lowkey taunting Souji’s got going on here. ]
You did that on purpose didn't you. [ you know, TAKE ADVANTAGE of Hijikata in his moment of weakness! yes, he's still not over that. he'll never be over that, maybe?
he pauses to think... ... ... oh, he can hear Souji. He can HEAR him!!! Trying to bait him, that is... You see, while Hijikata usually tries to be the better (sort of...) person, but he's also a stubborn ass that wants to prove Souji wrong? ]
So you think even though you beat me with an unfair advantage, you can beat me a second time? [ and if Souji listens carefully, there miight be a slightly sarcastic and mocking edge to his tone there. A sigh: ]
Fine. I wasn't really busy anyway. At the dojo, I presume?
[ why u gotta be so mean hijikatasan??? but Souji's punkass smile grows at Hijikata's tone, even if this is over voice and Hijikata can't see his punkass face. ]
I don't think I can beat you. I just want to see if I can. [ AHURHURHUHR... but now that Yamato's gone, Hijikata should be an acceptable opponent, right? Anyway, it's been too long since Souji's had a serious battle. He's a little tired of smacking over robots and dummies. ]
Yeah. I'll be waiting.
[ And he will be!! Dressed in what he always wears, armed with swords, but also looking at the wooden practice ones... ]
