Yeah, he really doesn't. He doesn't even know who stuffed his soul into a snake, but that's all he'll say about it unless Sasuke questions him further. ]
[ As long as Sasuke is warm and dry, it's fine. He carefully goes over under Kurou's possible scrutiny and gently wraps himself around Sasuke's leg below his knee. Ahh, warmth. Very nice. He can relax like this.
"He has black hair, brown eyes, and looks like an idiot 90% of the time." ]
[Kurou's watching, but it's no more alert than he already was. He's used to snakes, and well trained enough not to attack them on sight unlike somepeople.]
There's a lot of people matching that description here. Is there anything else?
[ "He certainly built a network here... that's nice. It's just like how he told me. But yes, I am looking for him. You can say that I am like his babysitter because said baby has an on-demand easy to press nuke button."
Well, Jace trusts Terry with the longbow of mass destruction, but he likes cracking dry jokes like these every now and then. ]
Finally, someone who knows that Terry is so hard to handle with one person alone. Jace sighs, though it's just his snake mouth being open for two seconds.
"He told me stories about this place and all the friends he made in it. It was quite the tale." ]
[ "About how he was happy here with his friends, despite the hardships that came along."
It's a very Terry-like answer, if you forget about the Shadow fiasco.
"He also felt regret for the longest time. He mentioned that the same friends were murdered because of him. He wanted to apologize to everyone, but couldn't."
[ "Yes, he's been through many. I believe it has been..."
Hm. He uses the end of his tail to draw in the air to calculate the numbers. Sasuke is still warm, so he's not gonna let go of his leg.
"... over forty thousand years. The earth is still intact, though it had gone through many changes over time. Humans diminish and flourish in regular intervals. But the first one was memorable, since they were against his own kind." ]

...I see. [It sounds like something out of myth, but then again, so do transforming foxes and tanuki, so.] Why did they choose you?
no subject
Yeah, he really doesn't. He doesn't even know who stuffed his soul into a snake, but that's all he'll say about it unless Sasuke questions him further. ]
no subject
It can be hard to understand creatures like that.
[Kami, anyway. Oh well.]
What are you trying to do in the meantime?
no subject
There's something like a mimicry of a sigh from him as he closes his eyes.
"I have a favor to ask. Can I borrow your leg? I'm cold." ]
no subject
[He has no problem with this, and his pants are high water anyway because that's just their uniform for some reason. Go for it snake friend.]
What's your friend's name? Or what does he look like?
[He's seen a lot of the people around here, so he might be able to help...]

"He has black hair, brown eyes, and looks like an idiot 90% of the time." ]

"He also smells like cinnamon all day." ]
no subject
-? You mean Terry?
no subject
Well, Jace trusts Terry with the longbow of mass destruction, but he likes cracking dry jokes like these every now and then. ]
no subject
[Is that when he went back...?]
...He does seem like someone who's hard to keep track of.
no subject

"He told me stories about this place and all the friends he made in it. It was quite the tale." ]
no subject
...What kinds of stories?
no subject
It's a very Terry-like answer, if you forget about the Shadow fiasco.
"He also felt regret for the longest time. He mentioned that the same friends were murdered because of him. He wanted to apologize to everyone, but couldn't."
For thousands of years. ]
no subject
...I knew what I was getting to when I kept going to talk to him.
[It's more of a shame he wasn't able to actually help in the end.]
...Was he doing okay when he got back to your world?
no subject
Yes. Very Terry-like. Lmao. Guess how done Jace sounds about that. ]
no subject
A war?
[He didn't hear about that! Because Terry is a pupper.]
no subject
Hm. He uses the end of his tail to draw in the air to calculate the numbers. Sasuke is still warm, so he's not gonna let go of his leg.
"... over forty thousand years. The earth is still intact, though it had gone through many changes over time. Humans diminish and flourish in regular intervals. But the first one was memorable, since they were against his own kind." ]
no subject
This actually explains some things.]
He mentioned a long time, but Kurou couldn't understand how many years he meant.
[No wonder. That's a very large number for a cat to grasp.]
no subject
As if that's the only remarkable thing Jace has to say about Terry.
"Though I'm sure you can get the full story from him eventually... whenever you find him. He seemed fond of you."
There aren't many boys like Sasuke that has a cat following them like Kurou. ]
no subject
[This is surprising to know.]
...It sounds like it'd be painful to talk about, though.
no subject
Whether those efforts bore fruit, well... Sasuke would have to see it himself. ]
no subject
So you think I should ask?
no subject
Dear child, please be a good influence for this other kid. ]
no subject
But still, fair point.]
...I'll try asking him about it, then. [Sometime when he's not a pom and Sasuke isn't quietly dying of sleep deprivation.]
Should I stay with you for a while longer?
[Or is he a toasty snake now.]
