You're talking as if I haven't accepted it. [ A small smirk. ] It's music to my ears, hearing other people agree actually. So be it, though. [ There's a careless shrug. Enough of that talk though, as they soon drop it. As long as Tsurumaru maybe accepts Hijikata isn't a person that's worth being around, unless it's for a really good reason... It's fine. It's what he's been doing for years anyway. ]

I don't have a reason to use it. [ What... Does it even do again? Communication? He hasn't really used it for communication at all so... Whatever. ]

... Seriously... Is this all necessary? [ Well, the bird started bobbing its head as it started to sing a different song. It's probably saying yes, huh? Hijikata just crosses his arms. Even when the bird sits down to him it still manages to match Hijikata's height, and he just turns his head to the side. ]

Honestly... [ A sigh. ] I can't allow this- a picture of all things. Other people can't see me doing strange things especially. [ What a party pooper. ]
