Is that the cake store aru?

They serve all sorts of cake-like things there, and also cake. Aren't you interested?

Uh huh. I am very interested in that aru.

Then come along.

[he starts walking, en route to honeybee cafe]

I have an employee discount, but don't abuse it. There's more stores to check out anyway.

[She nods in response, then hurries over to walk along side him. She sneaks a sideways glance at him... He doesn't seem too irritable today... Maybe. So that's good. All the same, she continues on quietly, but visibly happy.]

[until they arrive at said cafe, the place exuberant with colour and decoration, including flowers on the outside and a neat backdrop within. the place is not so full during the mornings, something which hijikata is thankful for, but feels sorry for the later customers who may find themselves with their favourite treats being sold out already.]

Here it is. [what do little girls like] Does it appeal to you?

[maybe their trip could be limited to just this one place..]

[If Kagura could have her way, everyone's favorites would be sold to her first. But, as gluttonous as she might be, it's a little strange to be asked her opinion.

If it were Gintoki asking her, there would almost surely be an ulterior motive. So after a look around, she gives an almost hesitant nod.]

I'll sit over there.

[at a booth not so far from the front counter. he'll order a cup of coffee while he's here though]

Come on now, don't be shy.

[She frowns thoughtfully for a moment. Sure, she could be her usual self and try to get her hands on everything in that dessert case... But, maybe she can be good just this once. Besides, he's sitting right there, so it's not like she could get away with it for long.

So she'll pick out two cakes, and join him at the table.]

[...she went with the strangely coloured ones]

Pistachio and mango. Interesting choices.

[She doesn't think so. And when she settles down with a mango cake, she's going to start eating, and simply stare across the table at Hijikata silently.]

[all this staring is going to drive him insane, and it is making him a little uncomfortable. he know this girl is all about being loud and rude, so right now this is ... different.]

[sips at his coffee]

[and when he can't stand it anymore--] What is it?

[She stops filling her face for a moment, and frowns at him. But just after, she shakes her head quickly and returns to eating.]

What are we going to do after this, Hiji?

[he thought this would be all their cake quest would involve. guess you can't be too certain with brats who are used to getting their way...]

I don't know. What do you feel like doing?

[it's not like he has work to go to today, anyway]

Ice Skating. Karaoke. Going to a salon. Going to a bar. Going to the gun store. Fishing.

[She just lists them off plainly in between bites. These are all totally normal desires, okay?]

That's a lot more than the original plan for cake, isn't it? [a tinge of irrational anger to his voice, but there's no actual protest against any of these things in particular- except]

Why would you want to go to the gun store? Do you mean the fun store? That one was not like the others. And neither is going to a bar! Aren't you underage?

Nope, I'm just short aru. And I meant gun store. I had a gun in Edo so I should have one in Holly Heights. If you don't help me pick one aru, Gin-chan will. [what a liar.]

I doubt the permhead would let you have a gun. You would need your parents' permission-- your real parents, got it? What do you want a gun for anyway?

My real parents aren't here. Unless you know a way to get my Papi here aru...

[Wow, good job Hijikata. She looks down at the remains of her cake wistfully. She doesn't even get around to stating her reasons for wanting a gun, because she just misses her dad now.]

[urgh--!]

Isn't your father the greatest bounty hunter in all of space though? He's probably ... on his way, right? Looking for you and all that.

Can a ship really land here aru?

If you believe hard enough--who the hell knows.

[Here Hiji, a flat stare just for you. She's too old for that "~if you believe~" shit. And she's done with her cake.]

[he can feel the flatness]

You can't blame me for trying, oi.
