[Once more he's surprised at Ozymandias' measured approach. Shouldn't he be saying something like "Damn right, you better release her"? Instead he's leaving the choice to Medusa. It's like a charade to see the man Hijikata thought of as a selfish conqueror keeping her freedom in mind first and foremost while he, who meant to empower her, overrode her free will.
He takes the offered pokéball, wondering why in the world Ozymandias is putting his little companion in his care. Are all his concubines also going to try and help Medusa..? Consoling as the thought is, Hijikata feels even more useless in comparison. Can he really just stay behind and look after everyone else's pets? It seems so.]
I'll look after him. I-- I have a Tepig, and Shoto-kun has a Litten. They can play together.
[As much of a non-sequitur as this is, it may just be the first piece of casual personal information he voluntarily shared with Ozymandias.]
