[Hijikata hasn't posted on the network so far (though he has lurked a good bit to put some faces to (user)names and read some discussions). When he sees Xingchen's post, though, he can't help but want to reach out to him. He most likely isn't from the same timeline as the Xingchen he met on Prismatica - he isn't wearing that white blindfold, for a start! -, but Hijikata can't help the fond feelings and memories from returning.]

It's good to have someone with your skillset around, and good of you to call for a truce right away, but be careful out there. Now they know you're here, and some may be more powerful or sneaky than what you're used to.

[He says that despite knowing that Xingchen's skills aren't to be underestimated and that he isn't the type to get cocky and careless. Still, he just wants him to be careful! A kind person like Xingchen shouldn't have anything bad happen to him.]
