[Souji relishes the affectionate gesture in an entirely unselfconcious way, leaning into the broad hand brushing across his face with a happy little sigh. As if the way he feels about serving Hijikata isn't its own reward, he could also tell his god that every gift of gentleness and care of this kind deserves so much more than Hijikata gives it credit for.
As it is, he stays arm in arm with the other man, allowing himself to be pulled over to the nearby bench. He gives Hijikata an amused little look, knowing he doesn't need to say anything specifically about the proximity to the offering box and how Hijikata isn't exactly relaxing completely like this; his god will know what he means by it. But Souji doesn't really mind... he just can't pass up the opportunity to tease his god, even if ever so slightly.]
It is a very nice bench. And it has a nice view, too. [There is laughter in his voice as he sits down and lifts the basket he'd brought with him into his lap.] It's a pretty nice way to eat your lunch in summer, right?
