(Note: Terry gave Kido his phone. Bought his own flipphone on 8/26!)

He has a stall set up in the market street for locating things. Feel free to thread it out with an inbox action thread or handwave it!

... He's Orien, a friend of mine. He can treat your injuries if you allow him to.

[ That's all Terry says about that while continuing to stand there with the crows on him. Orien plops down with the first aid kit and such.

"The Daitengu that you recently fought had the title of "Guardian of the Shrine". However, if you would go by the sign that was possibly in a different Hirajiro, the deity enshrined would be the "Everlasting Long-Crying Bird that Crow at Dawn", which could be referring to the Kotengu."

Terry knew this too, but it would probably be better if Jiro heard it from Orien instead, so he'll keep quiet unless addressed to. ]

[There's just a glare at Terry, and he won't bother with treating injuries at the moment. Then he's back to listening to Orien. Jiro knew all that already; he'd collected the memories from the other Hirajiro people. Where did Terry think his notes came from?]

You're behind on this shit, snake. Wouldn't "guardian" mean the shrine isn't his? And who cares what the sign in the other Hirajiro said? It doesn't have to be the same here.

[He decides Orien isn't going to be helpful at all, especially since he's with Terry.]

I've got stuff to do.

[He will leave them to the shrine.]

[ Orien just gives Jiro a look as he leaves. He decided he won't bother with him either if he's like this, and looks over at Terry.

"I didn't think being associated with you would have this much of a drawback to the point that an injured person would refuse treatment."

Terry just lets the crows go, so that they can freely fly. He thinks that even if it's from a different Hirajiro, parallel worlds are parallel for a reason, the basics are all the same, so the sign should be too. Not like they have any way of knowing that now with a 100% visual proof, because the sign won't recover unless they slot in the ofuda. He thinks back on what the Daitengu had said, which pretty much confirms that this is the Kotengu's shrine, even without Jiro's notes.

...

He doesn't think Jiro will listen anyway, even if he went back to catch up with him. ]

Whatever he does isn't my problem, and it shouldn't be yours either.

[ Orien slaps Terry's face with his tail and retreats back into his pocket. Time for shrine investigations... ]
