[Hijikata stumbles out of the edge of the forest, barely managing to not trip over his own feet. He looks decidedly unwell - pale, sweaty, tired. A small part of his mind realizes he can't remember what day it is - or why he feels so awful, or how he ended up in the woods in the first place - but the larger part is concerned with more immediate problems like not falling over, and moving slowly enough that his vision doesn't start blurring again.

After a few largely fruitless minutes of trying to figure out where he is and where home is - gods, it feels like his brain has been replaced with mush - he realizes he should probably let someone know he's alive. Or something. He digs out his journal, not bothering with filters.]

Souji...? Someone...?

[...no, he doesn't sound a lot better than he looks]

[Souji smiles when he sees his friend sitting in bed - and actually staying put. He half expected to find Hijikata up and ready to leave since he'd been tricked, as if having a fever wasn't enough of a reason to sit still. One look at his condition, however, and Souji knows why he's stayed. It takes a great deal of willpower not to just run straight to Hijikata's side, but he knows that fretting so openly would only make Hijikata feel worse.

Thus, instead, he shut the door behind him, turned and raised the wrapped package of books as he approached the bed.]

I thought you might get bored in here after awhile. There's a blank book with a brush and ink inside, too.

You know. Juuust in case.

What, so you can run off with it?
