[This guy..!! Hijikata immediately recognises that golden hair and those red eyes, though it's a very one-sided recognition. When another timeline's Gilgamesh briefly crossed over into Avalon during a dreamscape incident earlier this year he immediately clashed with him over his haughty attitude, but to his immense chagrin the self-proclaimed King of Heroes soon proved his merit by defeating a seemingly insurmountable demi-god enemy that likewise appeared in the dreamscape. Ultimately Hijikata had to acknowledge his superiority, which stung (a lot), but he thought he had seen the last of him!]
Have you ever been at a tournament?! They usually hang up posters and hand out flyers so people know what's going on where and when!
[His eyes dart to the lion cub, unsure if it's a pet or a familiar. Some people have very exotic pets and others very mundane familiars! He won't ask, though, lest the question earn him more mockery. Arashi, upon seeing his bond partner snap at the other man, tentatively moves away from them backwards with the leashed dinosaurs, hoping to subtly extricate himself from the situation. He's a diplomatic being, and Hijikata is pretty much the opposite, which makes it stressful for his familiar to be associated with him sometimes. Hijikata, meanwhile, realises that there may be a caveat to what he just said.]
Okay, to be fair, they announced this tournament really ad-hoc, so maybe they've had no time to distribute much written information, but in that case I'll just go to the castle to inquire!
[He points all the way up at the gargantuan tree housing Nicnevin. A few gaps in the crown show the towers of the castle. Honestly, it would probably make more sense to send Arashi up there, given that he can fly... but that would mean that Hijikata has to mind his overactive little dinosaurs, so no.]
