Catch 'Em All was having a slow day and Carwyn was enjoying walking around one of this dream places. He was rather glad to see a small lull for the day and he was also glad to know that his places were doing well.
Brenny walked into Catch 'Em All rather awkwardly. He had never been in a place like this before, but figured if he could find someone who had met his sister--someone who could possibly tell him where she was, or how she was doing--it would be worth it. He gazed about the building, blue eyes wide with wonder. "What is this place?"
Carwyn smiled as a pretty cute little youth walked in. It was clear enough that he was similar to himself being a pokemon and a human. He walked over. The tall adrogionous teen's insect lets making a gentle click on the ground though long billowing pants like a skirt covered his legs. His shirt had long sleeves that hung well over his hands bit left his shoulders exposed. "This place? It is a place for those like us to come and relax with friends."
"A place for people like us?" Brenny repeated, a small smile crossing his features. A place for pokemon. Maybe his sister would have come here. "Have you seen a pink celebi?" he asked. "She's been missing for a long while, but maybe if she found this place..." the boy's tone was hopeful. Even if she hadn't however, the boy could see the appeal of this place. It was a nice place, he decided. He would have to tell his father about it--and Mei, too! Maybe Mitja would come here with him. "Does it cost anything?" he asked, tilting his head slightly. "I've got a little money..." He dug his hand into his jean pocket, searching for change.
Carwyn reaches out with a covered hand to grasp the photo, "I am sorry I have not seen her. Though maybe when I was not working she might have come by. I am not here every day." he said softly his voice was gentle and sweet. He loved to see the light lighting up in the young one's eyes. He smiled and gently hands the photo back. "Yes it does cost money depending on what you want to do here. I can give you a short tour if you like."
"But if you do see her, you'll tell her I'm looking for her, right?" Brenny asked hopefully. "Maybe she'll find this place and--maybe she's looking for me too!" Maybe. Maybe. He hoped so. He really did. He pulled out two quarters and offered them to Carwyn. "Is this enough?" he asked. The celebi boy hadn't yet grasped the concept of expenses; he knew money was used to buy things. He didn't understand the concept that some things cost more than other things. If an icecream from the icecream man cost fifty cents--why shouldn't everything cost fifty cents? "Oooh, a tour? I like tours! ...What's a tour?"
Carwyn could not hep but smile. This little one was too cute. He laughed and nods, "Well that is not enough but for today I will give you a discount. And if I ever see the little on I will be sure to tell her you are looking for her. What is your name handsome?" He asked and laughed again, "Ah a tour means I will show you around here."
"My name's Brennen," Brenny beamed at Carwyn, "But you can call me Brenny! Everyone does. Yay! A discount! I like discounts!" He paused and nodded in understanding. A tour sounded exciting! He reached for Carwyn's hand. "Okay," he said, "Let's go on the tour! It'll be an adventure!"
Carwyn smiles, "A pleasure to meet you Brenny. I look forward to seeing you around often dear. My name is Carwyn. My dear Brenny do you know what a discount is?" he asked softly but nods. With his hand still covered he took up Brenny's hand and he lead him around to the dance floor and the skate rink. "These are the dance floor and skate rink. and you see the tall room in the center that is where the dj stays it is were the music comes from. There are two places you can make a request for songs at."
"A discount means less money?" Brenny asked, hopefully. If he didn't have enough today, he would have to bring enough another day. "Because it's my first day? And discounts are nice! I think Daddy likes discounts." He followed Carwyn with increasing wonder, blue eyes widening at the sight of the skating rink. "Ooooh," he said. "Music plays here? Yay! Dancing is fun!"
Carwyn smiles, "Your very smart too huh?" He smiles and looks at Brenny, "Yes because it is your first time. I am always kind to first timers. Discounts are nice things to have every now and then." He smiles and laughs gently, "Do you like to dance Brenny? Shall we Dance then or would you like to continue on the tour?"
"I do like to dance!" Brenny beamed at the question. "I like to dance, even when there's no music! Everything's like a dance. I like to draw, too. That's kind of like a dance; but for the hand. It dances across the page. He hesitated for a moment. He was sorely tempted to end the tour here and dance. "Let's keep going!" he decided. "We can dance after the tour! Yay!"
Carwyn gives a nod and smiles, " Alright then so next is the snack bar." he said and showed it to him you can get lots of snacks here. And there are restrooms around this way. Next we can head up stairs. Do you play video games or use the computer?" He asked softly as he led the way to the stairs. "OH ye we can dance afterwards."
"Oooh, snacks! Do you have berries? And poffins! What's video games? What is a computer?" Brenny asked, tilting his head and blinking. "Is it like the magic box my Daddy calls the television? I don't think I've played those before. Do you play video games?"
Carwyn laughed softly. "Well we have some fruits I don't know if berries are in season but I don't think we have any poffins? What are those dear?" He nods after listening to the younger male, "Yes it is simular to the television but more interactive. You can play games and look up things. You might be able to put an add on it to help find your sister. I don't play them often. I do use the comupter though." he led him up and showed him the arcade and made the way towards the computer ones.
"Really? I could put an ad up about my sister?" Brenny echoed, eyes widening. "Let's do that!" he said, excitedly. "Maybe someone who uses a computer would have seen her! And you can ask all your friends, too! We can put it everywhere! ...But how do I do it? I've never used a computer before..." He frowned, brows furrowing in confusion. "Can you do it for me?" he asked. "I'll pay you!" he held up his two quarters. "I'll pay. See? I want to find her!"
Carwyn reached over with his other covered hand and closed Brenny's hand around the coins, "You don't need to pay me. I will be glad to help if I can. Keep your money. I will show you how to put up the add. And you can come and check out the add and see if anyone has seen her. We can even set up an email for you so they can contact you. How about that dear?" He lead the way to the computers and pulled up two chairs near one of them. "Let us see what we can do shall we dear?" He asked and started to teach Brenny how to use the computer.
"Email?" Brenny repeated, blinking. "Oooh! So they can tell me if they've seen Cecily! Okay!" He beamed at the older boy. He sat in one of the chairs and waited for further prompting. "Maybe we'll find her this way! I hope so. I've been looking a very long time. Since Winter!"
Carwyn smiles, "Well they can if they have seen her. Do you think maybe she has changed like us? But if that is all you have then that is what we will use. So let me show you how an e-mail works and we will make one for you." he would set up a nice e-mail for Brenny and show how to check it before he scanned in Brenny's photo of his sister then set up a couple of adds and showed Brenny how to check those site as well just incase they would not e-mail him, "Hopefully it will help you find her. "
"I don't know if she's changed like us. When I last saw her, she hadn't. But it was several months ago... I don't know," the celebi boy gave Carwyn a troubled expression. "I don't know what she looks like, anymore. Maybe she's changed and has her own family. Maybe..." he wasn't so sure he wanted to do this. What if she didn't want to be found? Wouldn't she have told him? "Thank you," he said at last. "I'll tell Daddy about my email so he can write me, too! Want to finish our tour?"
Carwyn smiled and stroked the younger one's hair gently and careful of the small antenae with his over hand. "Don't worry even if she has changed you will find her one day. Just keep up the hope. Even if she does have a different family you can still be a part of it as she can be yours and your father's/" He smiled, "i guess you don't know your father's e-mail. But yes you can tell him . Maybe you should write it down before you forget?" He smiled and looked around, "Well that is it as far as the basic tour. Just these sections I have shown you. So I guess we can go and dance if you like dear."
Brenny quickly wrote down his email and password, tucking it into his pocket. "I'll keep it so I don't forget! Then Daddy will be able to write me on the computer! It'll be exciting! And maybe people can tell me if they've seen her, and if she's changed--and how she's doing! I'd like to know that she's okay." He paused, and then stood up. "Let's go dance!" he said, taking the older boy's hand. "Yay!"
Carwyn smiled. To be so young and innocent and hyper. He thought. He smiled and allowed the young man to lead him down to the dance floor. He smiled and started to dance with the other poke-human. This little dear was a doll for sure. "That is the spirit Brenny. Yes I am sure you will find her and get to know about her again and you have your dad until then And dancing."
