[He snorts, shaking his head at the ear hole suggestion. It wouldn't be worth it for just 3 nights a month! (Or would it..?) What's more, it's kind of fun to have a hood full of shells (even if regular Hijikata would probably be rather disgruntled about it). He can feel the moderate weight in the back of his neck, and they make those little clinking sounds as they move against each other! Kaeya's words bring a grin to his face.]

If I did that, I couldn't carry stuff around for you like this anymore, could I? As for the rest, it's the moon. The wine helped, though.

[Kaeya isn't a bad guy, really. Too flashy and preppy for Hijikata's liking, but he can't say that he doesn't get down and dirty when a quest calls for it! With his fine-tuned senses he can catch his scent - a mix of whatever shampoo and other possible body care he uses, plus the wine, plus something that's unique to Kaeya. He gets up before he does something stupid like sniff him.]

Let's get going. If you collect more shells, they won't all fit.
