[Alright, so there's one CRUCIAL step to settling in that Horikawa still has yet to do. Luckily he has just the means to do it. It apparently didn't take him long to learn where his previous master lives in the city, and that information is definitely both useful and comforting to him. It's ass o'clock in the morning when he decides it is time to drop by, unannounced, because someone to help Hijikata out at this time is definitely what he needs?

It doesn't take much to get the door open when he gets to the apartment, and Horikawa spends some time familiarizing himself with Hijikata's living space for a little while first, tidying up this and that while he decides what he should make for breakfast to wake him up with. To be honest he's there for long enough that it's probably weird before he actually gets down to what he ought to be doing, and by that time it's properly morning the sun is rising over the horizon and the apartment definitely smells good.

When he's plated the meal, Horikawa makes it over to Hijikata's room. First things first, he pulls the curtains aaaaallll the way open, allowing the sun to shine in ー directly into the eyes of any who may be sleeping. It's refreshing, he thinks, before turning to wake Hijikata himself, all energy and enthusiasm.]

Good morning, Hijikata-san!!

Just about..! [Spoken absently, because to do this as quickly as possible he has to make sure he focuses and using as much hair product as he can manage on Hijikata's hair before rinsing it out. He definitely has visibly brightened at the agreement of working alongside one another again though.]

Mm! I hope I can be of assistance! Though, I still have a lot to learn when it comes to this.

[Which kind of makes sense. He's a sword used for assassination; adaptable as he may be, lingerie's a foreign world to him and he's still kind of learning what this kind of job entails.]

Here, rinse it out with this and I'll go get a towel! [Aaand he hands over the shower head. Take it away, Hijikata.]

Hmm... You're job is probably more specific, isn't it... They just want me to sell the product.

[ Which isn't hard stuff, really. Reminds him of the good ol' days... Sort of. Anyway, Horikawa seems like a capable sword so he will learn the art of lingerie reviewing easily- right?

Okay, about time! Hijikata is looking forward to getting this done and over with. Hopefully his hair won't smell *yasusada voice* like a skunk either... ]

Hey, do you need help finding one? [ Although, he's already taken the shower head and is rinsing out his hair. Yet maybe it should be obvious where the towels are usually for someone like Horikawa..? So maybe not. ]

In a way, don't you think that's very similar, Hijikata-san? You have to sell the product, but in order to do that, I can let people know that it's out there! If it happens to be something that they're interested in, they can come see you, and in that way I hope I can bring you lots of customers!

[He's definitely excited about this? Much more excited about reviewing this mysterious lingerie now, though, he's still got to work out a solid method. Apparently this review stuff takes a ton of work, though maybe if Hijikata doesn't mind, Horikawa can certainly think of a few ways that they can help mutually? In any case, his next reply comes from out somewhere in the hallway.]

That's alright! [And sure enough, he rounds the corner with a fresh blue towel in hand.] There was some laundry around earlier, so I folded it and put it away for you.

[So, you know, he already found where all the stuff goes.]
