[Hijikata takes Jun's belt and fastens the two together. Honestly, he'd much prefer it if they could both strap themselves to the butterfly - what are they going to do if it lands upside-down to drink nectar?! -, but neither they nor anyone else here has a harness or such. Apparently this is a tradition of sorts, so maybe the butterflies are halfway considerate of their riders? That's probably all they can hope for.]
You sit in front, that way you can reach the blossoms better as it feeds. I'll secure you.
[He's really only here to help, after all. Once both of them are seated the horse-sized insect flaps its wings and takes off... damn, this is weird. Hijikata instinctively holds on to Jun more tightly than he intended, hoping that he, in turn, is holding on well to the butterfly! On the upside it takes just a few moments for the powerful wingbeats to carry them up to the cherry blossom - it's a veritable sea of pink. The butterfly hovers in place and uncoils its long proboscis to drink, not minding what its riders do.]

Alright, let's go! Be careful!
[He's got you, Jun!]
