Surprised, aren't you? [ he definitely sees it, he definitely sees the way hijikata's expression screamed wow, i'm totally impressed by your catching skills, even if the compliment didn't entirely make its way out of his mouth. ] Haha, you're right — I'll leave some for the children to scoop.

Since I caught two, they'll have each other for company, and they won't be lonely anymore. [ he waits for the person at the booth to put the fish into little plastic bags with some water.

and then, hijikata drags him off to another game. tsurumaru observes as hijikata holds up the ball and points to the prizes — listening, it sounds simple enough: another game that wouldn't be too difficult for him.

except that when he sees the stuffed animals, his eyes light up like a child on christmas day. he wants all of them, and he's trying to figure out if making the ball bounce off of the sides of the booth is a plausible plan or not...

but for once, he doesn't want to think about himself first; instead, he holds the ball in his hand, turning towards hijikata. ]

Before I do — is there any stuffed animal that you see, that you particularly want? I could get it for you, you know.
