(Finally. He's been trying to track down this exorcist for the last day or so. It's been annoying trying to find him in a city full of so many people.
He watches as Ryouma shares his sake with him. Clearly all a ploy to get him to stick around longer... well, it's working. Something in the air seems to have shifted. Ryouma's doing that thing... where he's hard to read. Serious? Hm. The least he can do is listen in return and ah--
He wishes he hadn't. He sits up straighter in his seat and makes a point to look away from Ryouma. Instead, he focuses on his cup, on the sake inside, and... well, he's always scowling but now, his brows knit closely together and his mouth makes a tight line. He needs to talk to Izo, too. About that place... but when Izo is ready. Hizen has never been very good at starting conversations. He needs to apologize too, for hitting him, or rather, hitting Karasu. He might not say anything; talking to Ryouma is difficult enough without talking about difficult topics like Izo but it's clear enough from his body language-- he's thinking about Izo. He's worried about him. He cares a lot more than he'll ever admit outloud.)
's already been too long.
(Without his strength. Without his ability to heal.)
Can't do anything if you're weak. (Can't protect anyone. Can't fight. Can't change anything. Nothing. It's only here that he glances up at Ryouma,) So don't go more making trouble when you can't do anything.
