Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sometimes it was just nice to go out and take a walk. Normally, Broderick was just fine lazing around at home, or following his senshi around and getting into trouble with her, or visiting Miss Kitty and sharing the best snacks with her - but every so often, he wanted to go out on his own for no real reason and just... walk around for a bit.

He came to the edge of a street he wanted to cross and paused there, ears twitching as he watched for oncoming traffic - and that's when he noticed it. Oh. Oh. Well, his walk was just going to have to wait, because if he wasn't mistaken (and he wasn't, because he was smart and nearly always right!), then there was a senshi here that needed a present from yours truly.

Head up and whiskers twitching, he turned away from the road and looked for the source of that feeling. And - and there, with her phone out and looking right at him, is the starseed he's searching for.

"Hello! Do you want a special present?"

"Of course not, I don't think I could move a pyramid even if I tried," Broderick said, blinking in confusion as he trotted over and politely sniffed the not-yet-awakened senshi's hand. Did she want to pet him? He hoped so - there was nothing quite as nice as a good scratch around the ears in his expert opinion. Did humans like ear scratches? He wasn't sure, but if not, they were absolutely missing out, and that was a terrible, terrible thought.

"It is kind of strange, though, I guess. Depending on what you mean by strange - so maybe it would be better if I asked a different way!" Was he doing this right? He was hardly an expert on awakenings, after all, and this one was already proving to be a little different from how he thought they were supposed to go. Or was it? Well, as long as it worked, the fluffy mauvian supposed it didn't really matter if it followed some kind of unwritten rules about How Things Should Go.

"So, let me ask you this instead," he said, pawing at the potential senshi with a fluffy foot. "Do you want to be magic~? Because my present will let you do that, if you want it!"

"Maybe we're strange to you, but it's perfectly normal to me to talk," Broderick said, leaning into the pets and arching his back. Oh, that felt nice, that spot was really relaxing, and - and ...no, he had a job to so and he was going to do it! So, after a valiant effort at regaining his dignity (that required uncrossing his eyes and stepping back with a not-quite-stumble), he tipped his head back and bounced a little in place.

"Okay! Are you ready? Keep your eyes on me~" He chirped. Alright, he'd done this before, it wasn't hard. "You're watching, right? You're watching? One, two, three!" Just enough flips to make him dizzy and wobbling once he landed, and one henshin pen poofed into being.

"Here you go," he chirped, picking it up in his mouth and stretching up on his hind legs, wobbling a little from the awkward balance. "Miff iff foh you!" He'd done a good job, or at least he thought so - she hadn't run away screaming, or said no, and he'd gotten to give the best kind of present anyone could give: the chance to be super cool and special, just like his favorite people!

"It's magic!" Broderick chirped, crossing his eyes as his nose was kissed. "Duh. Did you think I'd just give you a regular pen that you doodle silly pictures with, or something?" Really, he didn't know why the magic took the shape of a pen; it just did! Maybe it was something he should know, or at least be concerned about, but the Mauvian never claimed to be particularly devoted to his role.

... Or even very good at it. That took more work than he really wanted to bother with.

"You just have to hold it up and say the right thing and 'boom', instant superhero," he said, rubbing around her legs and purring. Sure, he could... probably explain it better than that, and more at length, but this was good enough, right? Why go to the extra and unnecessary effort unless he had to?

"Hmmmm, okay," Broderick said, blinking big green eyes up at his new maybe-kind-of-friend (or at least really good pets-giver, which was pretty much the same thing in his eyes). He twitches his tail enticingly, then flopped over on one side and purred, loudly.

"There's a lot of things around to help save people from, so... whatever your reasons for wanting to are good enough for me!" Even if those reasons were probably silly to some, they seemed perfectly reasonable to him. Then again, he wasn't really able to comment - not with what his bonded senshi was like!

"Okay. You're ready, aren't you?" He was dragging it out a little and he knew he was, but there was something kind of amusing about watching the girl wait. He didn't want to drag it out so long that it turned into being mean though, so he hopped back for his feet. "Repeat after me - Tristan asteroid power, make up! - and that will do it! Presto, one magic superhero!"

'Aww,' Broderick thought to himself, looking the new senshi over with a bright kitty-smile. 'What a cute senshi this one is!' And she was, too - Sailor Tristan had an innocent look to her, sweet and ruffly , and she looked so happy to be magic, too! Yes, yes, he had definitely done a good thing awakening this one.

"Food is the best way to repay me," he chirped, beaming up at her and twitching his tail as cutely as he could manage. "But no washing anything! I'm fine there, thank you - and I can't stay forever, but I don't mind visiting for a little while!"

Had he just made a new friend? Oh, he hoped so. His bonded, his Myammy, would always be his number one, but he liked other senshi, liked the how nice they could be and the attention it got him and seeing the excitement one their faces when they got to do something cool. And now here was one inviting him home for dinner!

(He wasn't, Broderick could admit to himself, the best Mauvian for explaining anything, but... eh. Free food was free food! He'd give it a shot, with that kind of offer.)
