[ Terry watches Sasuke's expression fall to a scowl. He recognizes that tone when he says "sorry" too, because he used to use it too. He calms down and tries to think of a god way to convey his feelings. He's sitting and continues to stare at Sasuke in silence before making a small squeaky whine and a puppy howl.
"I'm sorry. I'm sure you wouldn't like it if I died while trying to protect you. Let's get better together when I turn back to normal--if you want to."
Then he toddles back to where he dropped the serrated knife and bites onto the handle to pick it up. ]
[ Terry shakes his head. If it says anything, he still made it here... alone... past the horde of Onikuma and Arctos and those sea Shadows. He barks once, saying that he got a kill job from Minato. ]
Terry the pom looks at Sasuke incredulously. He can still... back out of this and just carry Terry out of the Dungeon. No one will fault him!! But the situation where he needs to charm Sasuke in order to make him cry is something he had never thought of before, and something he would feel incredibly guilty about.
Terry gestures to the knife in his mouth. Feel free to poke yourself with it, but don't stab yourself like Terry does. He'll never be able to live with himself. ]
[Sasuke just sighs, adjusting his grip so he has a hand (his left) free. There's still some hesitance, because shockingly he doesn't actually want to be under a charm effect, but he can't get himself to cry, either, so...
This is the most useful he'll be at making sure that if Terry does fight the Daitengu, he'll survive it. That lecture earlier totally didn't stick.
He allows himself to get a tiny scratch on the back of one of his fingers, going still as the magic takes its effect. Terry is now (for the moment) a Rank 10 Social link.]
[ He'll hope a talk in the future sticks, but for now, he'll just have to deal with a charmed Sasuke. Terry spits the knife to the floor and barks a command: "Sasuke, please cry". ]
[ TERRY FEELS SO BAD... He whines to nuzzle at Sasuke's cheek in an attempt to cheer him up. "Please stop crying. Let's go forward and do our best. Let's try to be a little happier." ]
[At least cute pupper nuzzle seems to cheer him up?! The fun thing about charm is, basically anything Terry does right now is great. So if Terry says to be happier, he'll give it a try, smiling softly!
This is going to be so weird once it wears off.]
Okay. Let's go.
[Also, how well is Terry handling the heat on the next floor?]
[ Any puppy is terrible at handling extreme temperatures, so this absolutely sucks for Terry right now. He's panting pretty quickly when they're not that far in yet. The fire resistance helps though. Just a little. ]
[ Ugh. Ughhhhh. He remembers the cold wasn't all that great either, so all he can do is whine a little and shake his head. He regrets a lot of things, but then Sasuke would have went through all that for nothing?!
...
He expresses that. Besides, this probably isn't good for Kurou either. ]

He sighs, still holding onto Terry as he approaches the bear.]
...I'm... still not sure I can do this. [Crying is hard.] You can try to charm me into it? [It looks like it's made of those fangs, so...]
I have to cry.

That streak ends when, with a very quiet sob, he begins to cry. Good job, team.]
