Welcome to Gaia! ::

Though Brenny was not particularly fond of winter weather, it seemed to him that he was often out in it. He had been led to the nearby park by his older brother, Eliot, who'd taken off soon afterward, saying he had 'business' to attend to. The celebi wasn't sure what this business was, but it didn't seem to trouble him. The park was a lovely place, even in winter. With snow covering the grass and the trees, it made it look like someone had covered everything in vanilla frosting. Or like someone had powdered everything with enormous amounts of powdered sugar.

Whatever it looked like, Brenny thought it was a pity that snow didn't taste as good as it looked like it should. He wandered past the swings, glancing towards the slide. It was probably not a good idea to be going down it today. He'd get wet, and then he'd get colder sooner...

He spotted someone. A smile made it's way across his face, and he hurried over. "Hi, I'm Brenny, and I'm a legendary!"

Brenny beamed. He did so like to be told he was cute. He immediately decided he liked the girl, and wrapped his arms around her. "That's right, I'm a celebi! Good work. I didn't even have to tell you. Most times I do, you know, but I don't really think I look like anything else..." He paused, flashing her another smile. "Nice to meet you, Josie! Nice to meet you, Cephas!" For the first time, he glanced over to the cranidos.

Well, hey! This pokemon looked like one of the ancient pokemon he'd seen with the scientist Grayson when they'd gone back in time, just like the tyrunt he'd met not so long ago. "You're a dinosaur!" he announced, moving to study the cranidos. "Awesome. I met a tyrunt before, we watched Land Before Time, and he was just like a sharptooth, only less scary! He was nice. You look nice too. Hey! Want to play with me?"

"I'm the best celebi around," Brenny promised, beaming up at Josie. He'd never met a trainer before, at least not one with pokemon who hadn't changed yet. He'd pictured them differently; someone who threw pokeballs at everything they met. He was glad he'd been wrong! "I can travel through time and everything!" He was fond of doing so; he'd even asked the scientists if he could work with them when he was older.

"You are! I like nice dinosaurs!" The celebi boy was delighted. He'd met two nice dinosaur types in a small amount of time. "I'm a grass type," he said. "I take care of the forest." He glanced back to Josie. "He says he's nice," he said, by way of translation.

Josie was feeding Brenny's already overfed ego; the celebi beamed. Yes, he was amazing, wasn't he? "I can do other things too," he added. "Like bake! And I make good lemonade," he seemed to pause, considering his words. "I haven't anything to bake on, here," he complained. "Otherwise I'd make cookies! Maybe next time I see you."

She really loved Cephas, didn't she? That thought made him happy. "Me too," he said, "The forest is one of my favorite things."

He glanced at Josie as she straightened up. "Oh, Connie and I live not far from here," he explained, gesturing vaguely in the direction of their apartment. "The park's the best, huh? Even with all the snow!"

"Yeah, one day!" Brenny agreed, beaming. One day soon, hopefully. "They're pretty good. I've shared them with a few people. Uncle Grayson told me I'm good at following recipes. He's the scientist I know. I took him back in time once, and we saw an archen nest, but it wasn't ready to hatch. I didn't want to overwhelm him by taking him to the time they would be ready, either."

Well there, there was something he had in common with Cephas. His guardian wouldn't let him have cookies that often, either; but really, he preferred berries to anything else. "Connie's like that too," he said, making a face. "I like other food, too though. I like salad and berries, and I really like vegetable egg rolls, you know, the ones with cabbage in them. Those are good!" He gave a nod to Josie's words; the park was one of the best places to visit. Anything could happen there, and it was a good place to make friends!

"No, he used to be my Daddy, though. Now he's my big brother. Er. That's confusing, isn't it? But I think you could see him, if you came on the weekend. He works during the week. I bet he'd like to meet you!"

Brenny would have gladly told Josie all about going back in time, at any other given point. He was much too excited, at that point, to have noticed Josie's confusion, or even realize that he might have wanted to slow the pace of the conversation. "Oh, you haven't?" He asked, but he wasn't really surprised. He was vegetarian, and he had discovered that not everyone was. "They're good on salads," he added, about berries. And in cookies, lemonade, there wasn't really a food he didn't think berries could make better.

"Yeah! And we can play, too! I bet you're good at chase. Want to play?" Talking was enjoyable, but it meant staying still! "Or we can build a snowman! I bet your Momma could help us make one that looks just like you!"
