[Well, that intense red glow, along with the contented rumbling in Koro's chest, certainly feels like a warning signal... but Hijikata came to the ball because he's ready to dance. He's not intimidated, though at Koro's touch, his breath hitches just a tiny bit. He's still going to banter!]

Oh, come on. Do I look like a lamb to you? I'm an old ram, if anything, with tough meat and horns fit to give you a concussion.

[He may not have literal horns on his head right now, but he well remembers his monthly partial bull transformation back on Prismatica, along with the urges the red moon brought. Is that what it's like for Koro all the time?

Despite his playful warning just now, he leans up towards him, trying to bring their faces closer together. If both parties are affected, encounters in this rainfall don't have to be all bad. Not at all. And afterwards, when it's over, it'll all have been the rain's fault. How convenient.]
