[ .. well, if Ryouma truly doesn't carry a grudge against the Shinsengumi.. then it'd just be cruel to lie to him, right? Especially since so far it's been more of a lie of omission than any outright or direct lie, but that would change if she didn't tell the truth here.
So.. ]
i have been
[ Sorry to ruin the joke with the truth, Ryouma. ]
please forgive me for not telling you so earlier the timing just never felt right
[ She's being honest about that one. After all, when do you tell someone assassinated by your group that you are part of said group.. ]
so let me make up for it by formally introducing myself now my name is chizuru yukimura i am the page of the vice commander of the shinsengumi toshizou hijikata
[ well. that probably sounds unintentionally rude, so maybe he shouldn't leave it at that. ]
That's pretty impressive! He's a tough one to crack for sure.
[ speaking from experience, ryouma has had to talk the guy down a few times. how much of that is simply because ryouma annoyed him, though, is... debatable. ]
I'd hoped we'd all find a way to work together at some point anyway, you know? So, it's nice it turned out that way after all.
Hehe, I better watch out. I never doubted you since our turbulent times made for plenty of formidable ladies, but not everybody gets to be the page of the Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi!
[ Honestly, Chizuru kind of understands his reaction right away.. It certainly wouldn't be the first time she's been confronted with Hijikata's very.. specific reputation, after all. Sure, she may know him a little bit better beyond that now, but she can certainly see where people would get that idea about him after interacting with him. ]
please i am nothing that impressive
[ She has to mention that though, because she sure doesn't want him to get the wrong idea about her. ]
i more or less stumbled my way into it more than anything i truly cannot match up to hijikatasan in any sort of way so i hope i am not creating too many expectations of myself here
