Perhaps you did. [ Yes, he is quite stubborn and Tenka will remain "Tenka-san" in his head.
But...ah, that question.
He pauses. ] We are comrades and fellow captains. And it is a fact he talks to me often than he does anyone else...
[ There was also the haiku he'd shared with Saitou, the way they walked next to each other, and the occasional quips and teasing... ] One calls that "friendship," I suppose.
Five, yes. [ And the other four, he is well-acquainted with. now all that's missing is their vice commander and commander, and they'd be more complete ]
I have yet to run into anyone who has seen me here once, before I...left and returned. [ For better lack of an explanation. He finds that curious that only those he knew remembered he had been here. ]
Well, I heard about you from Sano-kun and Shinpachi-kun at least...
And for what it's worth, you're enough like my partner that I feel like I'm talking to him to some degree. [tbh] Captains stick together or something maybe?
Things were pretty chaotic, after all. People come and go too.
Perhaps we do. Birds of a feather flock together. [ Or wolves, lead by a demon, hah. He's never been one for the comparisons. He doesn't say it out loud, but he's glad he is not the only one from his world who is here.
Although-- ] Do I really sound that similar to him? I met him and we have talked, but neither of us struck the other as being indistinguishable.

You don't have to do that. [An easy-going shrug.] Maybe I just caught him on an off day!
Are the two of you good friends?
[like sano and shinpachi level good friends.....]

Ah. So like Shinpachi-kun and Sano-kun then.
[It takes a lot for guys like Saitou to admit that people are his friends, he thinks!! If it's anything like Sousei anyway...]
Didn't expect that, but that's a pretty great thing!
no subject
Saitou doesn't elaborate this out loud, of course. ]
Certainly finding people here from my world was a reassuring thing.
no subject
Tenka doesn't seem to mind though. He's just laughing that off, so sure that he's right. Welp.]
Ahh, I can understand that... That makes -- what, five Shinsengumi captains here now? That's pretty cool....!

Not surprised that you guys aren't familiar with the sound of your own voice as much as other people are.
[at least he's honest]
no subject
But he doesn't dislike honesty, no. That's a good quality right there. ]
