[ Crow's glad they decided to meet up at night since the temperature is much more comfortable than during the day. Though it's still warm enough to enjoy a few cool drinks without feeling a chill. He spots Hijikata waving at him as he approaches, and the musician waves back enthusiastically before breaking into a brisk run.]

My bad, I had to make a stop on the way!

[Crow doesn't come empty-handed. Of course, he knows the samurai would tell him not to get him anything, but the redhead was still determined to make this a little special for the officer. He's proud to reveal this very unusual find, a chocolate mayonnaise cupcake with mayonnaise filling. He didn't think people were crazy enough to do this, but the world is weird like that. Still, the only thing that quickly came to mind was Hijikata's weird thing for mayo, and it horrified him to know people actually put the condiment into desserts! Still, if it makes the officer a little happy, then his mission is accomplished!]

Happy Two Months Late Super Belated Birthday!!!

[Crow finally takes a seat, stealing the menu to declare that, "Drinks are on me!" as he promised.]

What do you want to drink? Beer or sake? Or maybe you want the hard stuff?
