[The details of Shiro's reassignment were apparently important enough to get him knocked down a peg, but not relevant enough to tell his commanding officer. Hijikata is beyond marveling at bureaucracy - trying to think about it too much had given him headaches for a year when he'd started, and he's got enough reason to want to bash his head into the wall without revisiting administration-induced migraines.
Though, as they walk down the street, his shoes slick with rotting juices of expired produce, he's beginning to reconsider the merits of bashing some other heads in. So long as the abuse stays directed at (poor, undeserving) pavement, Hijikata will suffer it, but the moment more than a drop of yolk splatters against his pantleg an example will be made.
Torturing a few of these assholes for information could get them through this job a lot faster-
There's a reason he's been assigned to re-acclimate someone.
Hijikata heaves a sigh, jaw set and lips pressed into a thin line of barely contained frustration as he processes Shiro's suggestion with a few seconds of delay, plucked from his bloody fantasy.] Ah.
Let's go, then. [If his partner's information is right - which Hijikata has no reason to doubt that it is - the place will be teeming with pissed off Westies, drunk and looking for a fight.
