That's true, I can't. But I'm not trying to kill it, and it's not going to kill me. [ well, it shouldn't, but he hasn't exactly gone out there and proven that supposed fact right or wrong yet.
and wow, is that look directed at him? he's not even giving you a glance, shinpachi, but he definitely sees that, goodness. ].
...But, it's gotten worse from what some people said so it's probably just going to become completely infeasible to move up there soon which is why I'm going. He's out of time. Make sure no one else has anyone missing and just... [ looking for the right word here. ] ...stay put.
[ oh well, it was going to mean the same thing even if hopefully less hypocritical than that. too late now. ]
[ There's a moment where he just gives a "really?" kind of look. Probably mostly at those last two words, since that's the last thing you should be telling anyone right now, Hijikata.. ]
[ .. but after a moment of these, he instead sighs, folding his arms across his chest. ]
Got it. Even if I still think it's a bad idea. [ So it doesn't mean he likes it though. But it also means that he's at least not going to try and stop him or whatever. He'll take an order even slightly relunctantly and even if said reluctance shows on his face. ] .. Come back soon.
[ If he was the type of guy to say "please" it would've been in there, but the intention behind it hangs a little in the dead air before it all the same. ]
[ That's enough to get Hijikata to turn to look at him, particularly when Shinpachi ends up finally stopping following him as well, and he even turns around a moment still taking a few steps back. ]
I'll do even better: I'll listen to you tell me how bad of an idea it was until you're blue in the face.
[ With that, Hijikata turns back around, seeming at least better for Shinpachi's reluctant compliance because he breaks off into a run rather than the casual walk he'd been starting with because... really, he doesn't have any time.
why does he have to say things like this only to regret them forever... ]
