She looks up just enough to glance at him briefly - unsure if she really heard what she thought she heard. He thinks she wears it well..? Her gaze drops down to what she can see of the necklace and she brushes her fingertips against it, mulling it over for a moment or two. "Only... only because Hijikata-san has very good taste in jewelry."
(Chizuru still hasn't really questioned why he had a necklace and was prepared to give it to her; that's a can of worms she's just so unsure if she should open up or not.)
"...coming here is a little bittersweet, actually." Her voice is very soft - because she's not entirely sure that what she's about to say is something she wants anyone around them to be able to hear. It might even be a little improper, but there's something in her that makes her feel very much like she would regret it if she didn't at least try to say it. "Because... um... After this... will we have the chance to meet again?"
She doesn't think so. He's soon to be a married man; she's just the daughter of one of his acquaintances.
"But... I really am happy for you. And I hope you find real happiness in this match, Hijikata-san."
