Welp, alright, Shuntaro. [ Jake takes a breath, totally convinced. Why shouldn't he be? ] Are you more of a cat person or a dog person?
[ He sniffs the air, frowning. ] 'Cuz I don't have a clue where I'd go if I was a cat. Up a tree, I guess? Not if I was supposed to meet somebody, though. I mean, that's just rude.
[ Jake pauses for a half moment, rubbing his chin with his paw as he scans the crowd absently. ]
...Actually, yeah, that tracks. He's a real riddly guy, this dude. Cryptic. You know the type, right? Never says what they mean, always sounds like they've got a private joke you aren't in on? [ He shrugs. ] Cats, amiright?
[ Jake stretches an arm up to tug forcefully on one of the forelocks of Chishiya's hair. And now, he's not letting go. Time to take this cat for a walk back to the noodle place he'd found him in. ]
You're buying, buddy. And I'm hungry, so you better be ready to wash a whole mess of dishes.

[He wouldn’t say he’s an expert on the matter, but the cats he’s seen seem to follow their own rules. Do their own thing. Rude or not.]
Maybe he’s trying to challenge you.
[This is, in fact, kind of true.]

I might be familiar.
[Speaking of cryptic responses that sound like part of a private joke, his tone does kind of sound mildly amused.]

Say, uh. [ Jake asks, squinting up at the man for a long moment. ] You got a last name, Shuntaro?

[Once again with a cryptic response. Does this guy know how to give a straight answer? Seems unlikely.]
