[ Guess whose face automatically lights up when Hijikata doesn’t seem to mind it? Kondou’s, of course. He’s just pleased that he can share something like this with him, though of course there’s no guarantee that he’ll actually eat more of it after that initial mouthful. Kondou, on the other hand, is already eating some of it himself. The man has a sweet tooth that can never be soothed; it just can’t be helped. It all has to go. ]

You like it? I'm glad! The sweetness took some getting used to, even for me, but I think it’s worth it. It’s just so different to anything that we have at home.

[ Says the man who spends a large chunk of his time trying to find or actually eating sweet things. Who would have thought. After putting a good dent in his own bag of it, however, he gives Hijikata something of a mischievous look, and edges slightly closer to him. ]

Or should we find you something sweeter? [ Teasing, always teasing. ]
