Well, he seems quite intent on fighting me.
[As usual, Norimune avoids using Okita's name whenever possible. It's easier that way, in an attempt to put some emotional distance between the stories and himself. Yet, watching Okita turns around and face them—face him—with a smile gives him a tense feeling in his chest. He draws his sword, ready to meet Okita's next attack.]
Watch my back, Hizen.
[Is what he manage to say, before Okita charges in again. And Norimune quickly moves in to block the blow. Kiku-Ichimonji meet Kiku-Ichimonji.]
