Fine. I will be making my visit in approximately 15 minutes.
[aka yeah, she's going to be dropping by now... so.... you do your best to hobble around and make your pot of tea, Hiji?! at least Lili will be bringing a small gift (aka snacks) so that your efforts aren't completely one-sided.
When she does arrive 15 minutes later, it's with a polite knock on the door with her other hand occupied by a box containing different kinds of wagashi.]
but no! he's pretty good at making tea without making a mess even with one (1) injured leg. the tea is probably steeping by now when Lili knocks on the door, and Hijikata made his way to the couch instead to just... sit down... like nothing's wrong!
which means he's not going to get the door. but he'll call out loud enough for Lili to hear though! ]
[Just to sit down.... Yeah, okay Hiji. Lili blinks at the call for her to come in because that's rather informal? She thought that someone like Hijikata would be more of the type to meet her at the door.
Um.]
... Pardon the intrusion, then.
[???? Covering all her bases.... even as she moves to take off her shoes at the door and blinks to find him on the couch.]
[ that's where you're kind of wrong Lili... in the HQ it's just knock, 'come in' and you open the door yourself... of course, the HQ is just filled with a bunch of dumb samurai men. ]
Looks like you finally made it. Didn't expect you to take up the offer immediately.
[ HE REALLY DIDN'T? of course, he doesn't mean that in a bad way. BUT STILL... ]
Tea's almost done though. So just sit down, if you'd like.
so the house runs differently when it's just a bunch of uncivilized brutes.
got it.
Still though, she'll take the invitation...?? With a little bit of a huff even as she goes to sit on the couch as well with a fair amount of space between them.]
M-Make up your mind....! I "finally" made it but you still didn't expect me to come so quickly? You shouldn't offer if you aren't willing to entertain company.
[ you better keep those words to yourself Lili. keep those words in those brackets if you know what's good for you...
he only lets out a huff. ]
It's not because of that. Seriously. Watch what comes out of that mouth.
[ so... here they are... Hijikata crosses his arms, and looks over at the kitchen. he has to go get that tea soon... doesn't he. then he'd be (LOW VOICE) exposed.
well, a part of him doesn't care, but a part of him does? it's kind of weird okay? injuries happen, but he doesn't want everyone to be aware of it? hmm... decisions.
BUT FIRST he'll just deflect Lili's sass with a statement... ]
Look at this punk saying punkass things - but then he makes that statement and she's moving right along. Clearly she doesn't mean to be rude?! It seems that being rebellious just comes... painfully naturally.
But oh.]
Mm, I did. Is wagashi acceptable...? The people that I've met from your country seem to be fond of it so I deemed it acceptable. If you don't like it, I can retrieve something else.
[ Lili is kind of lucky Hijikata knows he can't do much.
but just you wait Lili... one day!!! one day. but now he'll just be incredibly grumpy about everything? which is obviously the best solution... ]
I don't eat sweets.
[ except, just give him a few minutes. or when Lili isn't looking. because he's stupid. ]
Though... Kondou-san use to buy these a lot, when I wasn't looking. And I'd have to take them away... and give them to Saitou, or someone. Seriously, that man just doesn't listen. [ ah, yes... the innocent days. ]
But no, if you leave now that'd be pretty rude - wouldn't it?
The one back at my home? Perhaps - but I usually give them to him to just get them away from Kondou-san.
[ It's better for soldiers to see other soldiers with sweets than their commander - right? Whether Saitou likes them or not... He isn't truly sure. ]
But anyway... Tea's done. [ he doesn't... he really doesn't want to get up. ] Let me ask one thing: You won't laugh at me will you?
[ mostly because the only reason why he's trying his best to get around by himself is so he doesn't feel completely useless... but he's doing it in a way a stubborn child would. despite being told to stay in bed he's sure! he's so sure he can do things!!! ]
[Ah, that's right. They're different... Still, she makes a mental note to ask maybe. That won't be offensive, right? After all, she's seen so many swords and swordsmen alike now eating sweets....
The question manages to catch her off-guard though.

I would only leave to retrieve something else that you'd prefer. Rather, that's going out of my way to accommodate you, isn't it?
[So not rude!

But.
Also she has to ask-]
Does Saitou like these?

Not unless you do something worth laughing at.
[But also Lili doesn't laugh often so?!]
