Ah? Oh no. It was all a bit of an ordeal, but I'be got medicines from the hospital here. So I'm actually gretting better!
[It's just that it's slow going, and it won't actually make him healthy, but it will keep him from getting worse, from dying. That is the important part.
He straightens up a bit as Hijikata sits down in front of him, folding his legs neatly to the side. This promises to be a confusing conversation, so he wants to be more alert but also comfortable. He offers Hijikata another one of those sunshine smiles which seem to light up the entire room, and then sips his tea as he considers how to answer the question. Should he explain about the other Shinsengumi that had been here first? Perhaps not. He still has no actual way of knowing that this Hijikata isn't from the same group, and it would only serve to distress him - that wouldn't be the best way of making the point.
So perhaps it's just better to actually tell the man his name? He sighs a bit in exasperation, preparing himself for the plunge.]

[He holds up a hand to momentarily halt interjections.] I'm guessing I look nothing like the one you know, right? Well, you both look and act different than the Hijikata-san I'm used to, too. But we are both of the Shinsengumi, just... different ones, from different worlds. [He wrinkles his nose a bit, frowning.] I still don't understand it, but... that's why it was so easy for me to guess who you are after a while.
