Ayumu nodded almost absently, brow furrowed slightly as though she were trying to reconcile the information, while in the meantime she took note of the woman who'd joined Mello where he was sitting. The blonde woman's appearance was distinctive enough that Ayumu rather thought this was the "Renamon" she'd heard of, and she wondered what the two of them had to talk about.

"It's very sweet of you to say so," she replied after a moment, her expression slowly brightening again as she smiled at Honey. "But...did you say 'Okita Souji'? And Hijikata...as in Hijikata Toshizo? Of the Shinsengumi?" From the way she was looking now, the idea of those two being here was almost as surprising to her as the idea that Honey was from so far in the future.
