It seems to be a pretty regular thing, isn't it? These sudden waves of newcomers.

[Not that Chizuru's done all that great of a job welcoming any of them. But considering the suddenness of appearances and, more importantly, disappearances of people she knows from back home, she's not really sure if she should be the one sticking her neck out in order to see if there's anyone she knows.

Especially since not all of them would necessarily be considered, y'know--allies. Or even cordial acquaintances. Especially with Hijikata looming around half-cocked all the time.]

It never ceases to impress me how quickly even the most isolated of people can adjust to a completely foreign environment. After all, this place isn't the slightest thing like the Japan I remember, but we're all making do, aren't we?

[She folds her arms, tilting her head slightly, and shrugging her shoulders thoughtfully.] Though come to think of it, there has to be something around here that would remind me of home...is there anything here that reminds you of back home? Reversely, what was the hardest thing for you to get used to after showing up in this place?

...it sounds like you have a lot of pets! [She's kinda envious.] Did they arrive here with you, or did you find them here?

I do! These are just the ones here with me, too. They're from back home, but there's a few more, like my snake, my pig, my parrot, my chipmunk, my flying squirrel, m...w-well, that's enough of that. Do you have any pets? Or any special hobbies?

Hmm...well, I've never had a pet...I mean, sometimes my father would mend some injured animals, but we were never allowed to keep them...Hijikata-san has a fish though, but I guess I can't exactly consider it mine, too. [Even if she's the one who'd go get the fish food when out on errands.]

As for special hobbies...you mean, like cooking? Or writing letters?

Taking care of injured animals...that sounds like a lot of hard work. Your father sounds like a really nice guy.

Yeah, stuff like that! I like to jog and knit and all sorts of other things.

[Chizuru giggles.] I've always thought so.

[In spite of what Hijikata's told her--the "truth" about the ochimizu, as it were...she couldn't believe that her father and this person the Shinsengumi were the same person.]

You sound like a very busy person...
