[Horikawa is relieved, when Hijikata seems to shift gears. His frustration really didn't seem to pick up until the latter end of his questioning, but if it's Horikawa, he wants to keep composed regardless. Apparently, it pays off as his previous master receives the answers he was looking for. For a moment, Horikawa tilts his head, finding the comments he receives to be curious. It doesn't take long, however, before he shines slightly ー more outwardly visibly now, with a sparkle in his eye, when Hijikata seems pleased with this development. First things first, though:]
Mm. You probably should. Yasusada-kun is very capable, but... he holds the memories of our time in the Shinsengumi very close, [Or rather, his memories of Okita-kun very close,] so if he'd heard something bad, I wonder if it would really be okay?
But, well, there isn't very much to tell about myself.
[Usually, under that circumstance, he'll explain about his time with Hijikata. But here... of course Hijikata himself would know how his wakizashi has been used! He'll shift to his next best topic, with a grin that spreads across his face.]
You would have really liked to meet Kane-san though. He really takes after you, MaーHijikata-san. [STILL WORKING ON IT!] Even if he's practical, he doesn't sacrifice style. He's a really reliable leader, and he's very strong!
[Trust him. Horikawa is like, his one-sword fanclub? Who would know Kanesada better than his assistant! Though after a moment he does spare a glance back into the foliage, towards the sea. It may be a relief that his partner isn't here, but... Horikawa really hopes he's okay wherever he is out there, too.]
WELL LISTEN picks you up puts u behind me... safe. we'll get you home!! no more stress!
