Oh wow, Homura got busy after her return here..!! That's one hell of a plan. Lucky Caster to have gained such strong backup!

This is a little belated now, and I'm not sure if it would be worth threading out (also since Homura already spoke with Ereshkigal at the ball), but if she were to ask Hijikata why they didn't accept her help with the stone giant quest he'd say that it was a job for death mages - which isn't technically true, but he felt that way and didn't want to endanger anyone else! OOC it was a matter of logistics since threads with more than 3 people are so hard to run!
