[ ah, geez. should Hijikata be offended that Tsurumaru doesn't believe him? maybe just a bit, because he's very serious about his words! it almost feels like he's the one being babysitted, almost. he lifts his shoulders to shrug. ]
Do what you like.
[ sure, he's still probably going to be the same old grump that is practically glued to his desk everyday doing paperwork. but he isn't the type of guy that pushes people away, well, the ones he finds important to some extent especially.
although, seeing the outstretched hand... he feels a bit stubborn at this! besides, leave it to Hijikata to worry about other people instead of himself (like a worry-some mother, really). habit of looking over a ton of troops, probably. instead of immediately grabbing for it he first has to pick up his own sword and sheathe it- there's no way he would forget about it. then he takes the entire sword out of his cloth-like belt. ]
It's fine... This injury is nothing.
[ he plants the tip of Kanesada's sheathe into the ground and attempts to use it as a way to hoist himself up!
... But he is clearly struggle though, he's obviously tired from the previous events so there's not much strength left in him... his arms are shaking, and so are his legs. even his breath seems to get a bit strained at this forced effort.
