Sougo flinches but only slightly; he didn't expect that coming at all. As the lantern was already filled with chroma, it had too much energy for Sougo to be toying with it like that. So while it was in the air coming towards you, it exploded!]
[He shields himself with his arms, then lowers them after a moment to take a look at the destruction. Glass shards are strewn about while the metal casing of the lantern is still largely intact (albeit bent). The chroma, though, briefly glows in the air before it's absorbed by the plants in the vicinity. Some of them visibly grow a little from the surge of energy.]
[He desperately wants to bicker again, to say that no, stupid Hijikata, you're the one who put weird feelings into our lantern because you ruin everything, but that takes too much effort.]
There's really no reasoning with a liar. But I don't think it's broken. There's still a use for it.
[And what is that use? Another object to hurl at your head right now.]
[He draws his sword in a flash and deflects the metal chuck, but even that pisses him off. The blade will need maintenance soon, all because of Sougo and his antics.]
Go home!! You've caused enough destruction for today, you hear me?
[UGH. Why does Sougo have to be such a pain in the ass?! Hijikata waits until he is properly gone - he doesn't need another spontaneous surprise attack -, then starts cleaning up and throwing the metal and glass into the nearest designated garbage bin. One of these days Sougo's bullshit will backfire on him, and Hijikata hopes he'll be there to witness that.]

I didn't see that coming.
[He bends down and picks up the bent metal remains of the lantern, examining it briefly in his hands.]
This is what happens when you lie.
[After all, it wasn't Sougo putting that red energy in. How much does he have to say that?]

Anyway, you broke it. I think we're done here.

[So as you see, it's all Hijikata's fault in the end. Nothing wrong with training your reflexes though, is there?
He nonchalantly waves and starts to walk off.]
See ya.

But surely Hijikata knows that any crap Sougo gets into will now reflect on him.]
