Eep-- peace, Sir Hijikata! [Rinea will cut him some slack because he's clearly scared out of his noodle, but boy is head-empty Hijikata a touchy-feely type! While embraced she pats him faintly on the back, thus completing the circle of two people each thinking they're comforting the other.]

There is no immediate danger. You may be at ease. [That much is true, at least. Rinea wants to explain fully, but Hijikata may not take the news very well when he's this amped up about the ghosts... better to talk about it somewhere that isn't the middle of a street at night.

When he releases her, Rinea smiles and holds out her arm to be escorted.]

Shall we return home? I put on a stew in the slow cooker before I left.
