[Armin image appears suddenly, and though his face is composed, his thoughts are both cautious and alarmed.]

Everyone - be alert in liminal space, and avoid the men's bathroom four floors above where the portal let us into liminal space. The sign of the King in Yellow is still with us.

I will. She's kept some pretty serious shit on my behalf before, I don't see any reason this will go any differently.

[More than just Shinsengumi secrets, even - she's never breathed a word to anyone about Hijikata's vampire problem, either.]

Sounds like a plan, then. [Armin simply nods - he hadn't been worried about her being able to keep the secret, just about them being clear on who was telling her. If they'd both assumed she knew, and neither told her... not likely, perhaps, but better to be sure.

Armin then hesitates, but...] How were you, this past jaunt? I... don't think I really saw you around.

A little under the weather, can we say?

[...a lot under the weather, if he's going to insist on that kind of euphemism. But this has been happening, some might note, for as long as Hijikata's been a Traveller - there are times when he just...drops out of sight for a bit, when he only answers to Souji or, since she joined them, Chizuru.

He doesn't talk about why.]
