Who: Merlin and Sirius
When: Early afternoon
What: Sirius is curious
Where: Stables
Status: In progress

Sirius enjoyed the sun as he took a walk outside. Spring was there and greeted them with the enthusiasm of a child who had been grounded. He had missed being on the outside, running around or just lying in the sun. Merlin, this day was fantastic. Apropos Merlin. He was still curious who this Merlin guy on the resort was. Certainly, he couldn’t be the Merlin. The legend. No, the guy he saw the first time curiosity had taken other was young and skinny. Not wise, old Merlin.

Because he had nothing better to do, he entered the stables. The smell of horses filled his nose. “Hello?” Dom had the map, so it was just pure luck if this Merlin worked today.

Merlin had thought it was a great warm day now. It had taken him some time to settle in and get accustomed to the work here, but not too long. He did have a similar job like this back home after all. Except now it was the prince's horses, but others that he was taking care of to stay groomed. He had just brushed one of the horses' manes when he heard someone approaching, heard the voice calling out to him. Accent was familiar, like someone from the part of the world that Merlin himself was from. Reminded him of home too. Though if the other guy was a wizard too, that would just be grand. He'd been wanting to meet his own kind for a while now. It was definitely more free here too. No more worrying about getting caught and instantly executed by a magic-hating king. Merlin really hoped Uther wouldn't arrive here.

"Err, hi," the young warlock spoke as he stepped around the horse, now looking at the other man. He wondered what the guy had wanted of him. Perhaps to ride one of the horses? Thankfully he had already cleaned one earlier. Or perhaps he was here for another reason. Certainly wasn't a guest, that much he did know. He smiled and added, "Yes, I'm here. Did you need help with something?"

„Ah, hi!“ Sirius greeted the man as he finally saw the one he was searching for. That boy, maybe man, standing in front of him was definitely the Merlin he had seen before. “I’m Sirius. I work at the Ice Room. I’m curious. Why are you named after the great wizard Merlin?” He looked at the horses, trying to suppress the urge to turn into Padfoot and bark at them.

Ice Room. Ice Room, where.. oh. Right. That was the nightclub. He'd heard of it but never been. He'd actually not even been to a tavern back home, except if really necessary. But.. Sirius didn't think he was really Merlin? "I wasn't. I'm not sure, but it's possible I was the first to be named Merlin. It's not really a common name, I don't think. And I'm a wizard too. I could give a demonstration if you like." Because that always would have worked before. Well, not really. Had to be secret at home, but he didn't mind showing a few things in this modern time.

A wizard named Merlin himself who had never heard of Merlin. How could someone never heard… “Wait, when are you from… where are you from?” He tried to remember what he had learned about him. Shit, he should have paid more attention during history. But those lessons had been pure torture. It was as if Binns wanted them to fall asleep. Didn’t he say something about Merlin having many faces and quite a few names? “Do have any other names?”

What year. Oh, now that was tricky. Merlin didn't really have an answer for that. "I don't really now.. but it was probably around what people now call Dark Ages. I do know that it was Camelot. I was born in a village called Ealdor. But then my mother sent me to Camelot. Ended up being Arthur's manservant, doing chores, but.. half the time I use my powers to save his hide. A lot." He paused as he remembered only one other name he as called. "Just one. Emrys. It's what the Druids call me. One of them was a boy named Mordred who told me about it.. I'd thought he was nice first when I helped him, but turns out he's really bad news."

Dark Ages? Camelot? Emyrs? Holy shit! “Merlin,” Sirius whispered in amazement and wanted to hit himself right away. “I mean you really are the Merlin. You are the best wizard the world has ever seen. You are like a legend.” He stopped his ranting to gape at the boy who looked as old as Sirius. He was sure that Lily would be thrilled. This was just impossible.

"Uhh.. yes, that's me, Merlin said, unsure if Sirius was talking to him directly first or meant someone else. Then he nodded once the man believed it was really him. "The one and only," he said with a slight smile. It was sort of nice to be recognized once in a while. Though he wasn't sure about legends. The Great Dragon had told him about a great destiny. And he could see how that was possible. "Thanks, though. So.. you know the other magical people from your world here too? Hey, I got an idea. Want to see some magic?"

	Merlin, that was really Merlin. The longer he thought about it, the more unreal the thought was. "Yeah, I know them. They are mostly from my future. Sure, magic sounds great." He wondered what Merlin was able to do. What did his wand look like? Did he even need a wand? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Merlin smiled then. He would love to show some magic at any time and it was good to do here without worry of exposure. "Okay.." He waved his arms. His eyes flashed yellow for a moment and a series of fist sized rocks on the ground began to float upward.. and was circling around himself in a bit of a gyro type motion.

Then he held a hand up and they froze in place.. before falling down. "I can also do, uhh, this." He moved with his hand, and a nearby seat flew across the grass. He chose to do a third trick then. He focused upward and pushed his hands. One of the massive clouds began to move on its own, taking the shape of a dragon. Not a true beast, but the outline of one.

	Sirius wasn't impressed but the magic Merlin did. Honestly, letting rocks float was first year magic. No, he was impressed by something else. "Where is your bloody wand?" he said, frowning in confusion. His eyes following the movements of Merlin's hands. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Wand?" Merlin blinked, a confused look was in his eyes as well. "I.. err, never needed one. Also most people had to study sorcery to be good, hours in rituals, incantations.. but I seemed a natural. By instinct, mostly." He paused. "Oh. I do have a staff I disarmed from a Sidhe mage, from Avalon. I can also stop time for a bit. And one time I called down lightning to strike at Nimue." He added to explain, "But she had tried to killed Arthur, then Gaius and my mother in the same day."

	Well, stopping time was a complete different thing. That was impressive. Maybe this wasn't a Merlin that belonged to his world. Merlin, this place was complicated. "Wow," he said in awe. "Not even Dumbledore can stop time. We do have time turners thought. They can bring you back in time." (Reply to this) (Parent)
