[ Yes, good...Mikazuki was hoping to see Hijikata's reaction to his present! He's even eagerly leaning forward to get a better look when the present is fully uncovered to reveal...a tea set! Sleeve over mouth, Mikazuki's moon filled eyes are dead set on the vice-captain's reaction...oh, but he should explain a little bit! ]
They sell tea sets like this all the time nearby where I work. Since we often have tea, I thought a tea set would be perfect. [ And it's so cute? THERE'S JUST ONE LAST THING... ] The designs are plum blossoms.
[ He does! Even if it's from the wrong perspective, he still enjoys the haikus.
Ah, but he's so starstruck now. Seeing the "demon" vice-captain of the Shinsengumi give the tiniest but still visible enough of a smile makes the old sword want to take a picture of it. HE ALMOST DOES but he's too caught up in the moment that he misses the chance. Next time... ] I'm so pleased you like it!
Aha, I would appreciate that. The cups are begging to be used, I'm sure. [ Yes...tea time for old men has become a habit for them and Mikazuki couldn't be more glad that it has. Tea is always good but tea with company for him, is especially good.
He's getting distracted though, he has a burning question on his mind ever since he made his way through the front door -- ] By the way, Hijikkun...did you get a lot of new things recently? You rarely spend on yourself so seeing so many new things lying around was a surprise!
[ look! Hijikata smiles... sometimes. almost never.
he's just trying his best to be appreciative! because despite truly feeling it he has struggles showing it? lil' Demon Vice Commander problems. ]
Perhaps when I'm actually allowed to get out of bed.
[ some slight sarcasm there... but he promised he would stop crawling out of bed to do things out of pure boredom! he tries! oh, yeah that stuff... ]
You're right, I don't buy anything for myself. [ unless he needs groceries... new clothes. actually- mental note to go buy new clothes, he could really use more additions to his wardrobe. ]
They were birthday gifts from Tsurumaru. That's all. [ should he tell him that Tsuru used Mikazuki's credits for these .... .... .... ]
[ Even if he's curious as to HOW his leg broke...he would have probably told him if he saw fit. He won't ask in any case, looking around the immediate room a little curiously at all the new things he has littered about. Tsurumaru certainly spared no expense!
WAIT A SECOND!!! ] Eh? What did you say...just now...?
[ He's sure he heard that right, didn't he? Mikazuki is all sparkly eyed now as he looks at the vice-captain...it was a surprise but he's glad he had the foresight to bring a gift! Mikazuki very boldly leans over to grasp Hijikata's hands in his own and gives them a squeeze. Though he won't make guesses at how old Hijikata must be now -- he'll happily celebrate another year since his birth. It seems like humans have too few birthdays to him so things like this should be happily celebrated. ] Happy birthday! I had no idea...did you not intend to celebrate it, Hijikkun?

but once he unwraps the present to reveal the tea set - he's surprised! it's a very nice tea set too, he has to admit.
there's a tiny, appreciative smile on his face in response to the gift. ]
It's a very thoughtful gift. Thank you. [ of course, there's no way he could be grumpy when someone goes out of their way to give Hijikata a gift. ]
Next time we have tea then we'll have to brew some using this set, don't we now?
