[ Sorry. actually, no, it's Souji, the veterans and Chizuru, at least, should know he's not sorry at all for this one.

Or, actually, maybe he is. It's been pretty quiet tonight despite all the obvious tension that's been building around them and the situation concerning the families and this case, but he's about to change all of that with a greeting that basically is his equivalent to an apology for whatever is about to happen because of his actions. ]

—Hey, hey, Neria-chan [ and everyone else, but she had been the one to make arrangements for their camp, so it's only fair he address the question to her, in particular ] we have room for two more, yeah? I'm thinking a chatty sleepover will do everyone's spirits good right now.

[ yeah he might be bringing you guys some visitors. things just got extra interesting for everyone's health and safety once their parents find out ahaha.... ]

[ he could have taken hijikata out and back here no problem :C ]

That kid Hijikata-san is hanging around, the Gravesend heir, and the heir to the other family, too.

[tealeafs]

[ She's not too sure if that's a great present... ]

Eh? [ The surprise is even audible in her thoughts, yes. ] But isn't it dangerous to bring both of them here? Surely their families will come look for them..

[ And Chizuru doesn't think they're really equipped to handle two dangerous groups at the same time right now. ]

[creatic]

[ he suddenly sounds quite serious, but not in an aggressive or annoyed way. just... very matter-of-factly and not so far off from the way a certain someone would have replied in a can't be helped situation'. ]

Yeah, but they have nowhere else to go. I can't leave them to be punished if it will put Hijikata-san in danger.

[tealeafs]

[ The content of his thoughts would have made it clear already in general, really. Of course a statement like "they have nowhere else to go" immediately tugs on Chizuru's heartstrings regardless of whether Hijikata's in danger or not, although that only adds another sense of urgency to the whole matter. ]

I'll help out then.

[ Truthfully, she's not even sure how yet as she thinks it, but her default response is wanting to at least do something. ]

Thank you for finding them, Okita-san. Do you think they seem hungry? Maybe I can make something for them to put them a little more at ease.
