Merlin had tried to keep busy and his mind off things since Colligo did its whole time warp thing. He set to exploring just like he'd done before, and while this version wasn't as exciting he had no problems with it. The way these people lived was closer to life back home then the other city was. The clothing was a bit odd, there were none of the conveniences like refrigerators or washing machines, but they would certainly manage just fine. He was on his way to see about the clothing problem now actually, with a set of Arthur's, Morgana's, and his own clothes folded up in a box to be brought to the tailor with more to follow if the alterations turned out right. He'd also have to ask Gwen if she wanted her dressed changed, but he supposed he would just wait and show her Morgana's finished dress later.

None of that was really the problem. Merlin sat down in the middle of the little field, his kitten meowing and swiping its claws at the sheep grazing around them from the crook of Merlin's arm. He had refused to let the kitten out of his sight since showing up here. It was the only thing that had been left of all his things. Pendragon, the clothes, and his money in the bottom of the trunk...Everything else was gone. The birthday gifts he'd gotten from Arthur and Conner, Severus' books that he'd been saving in case he showed up again, and all the little things he'd saved from Christmas (some of which became the last of Lancelot's things he had since his friend disappeared as well)...They'd been important. Especially the things that had belonged to his missing friends. And now he was living with Morgana, Arthur, and Gwen. Which wasn't a totally bad thing it was just --

"Do you think I could magic things back, Pendragon? I can mess with time. Just two or three weeks back would be great. What do you think?" The kitten turned it's head and stared up at him, offering a small meow that was apparently a good enough answer for Merlin. He didn't think he could do it anyways, he was able to slow down time, not reverse it. He leaned back against a little tree, and let the cat down so it could run around a bit, never going too far from Merlin.

"As long as you promise not to write any stories about me. There are enough of those as it is." He didn't need any more fake stories about him getting out, there were plenty, and not entirely pleasant ones. Merlin smiled and let her draw, as he picked up Pendragon again, teasing the cat.

"I guess you found the art supplies you were looking for then?" He said absently. "Whatever time this is, it doesn't have all the strange devices as that last one did. It's almost like being back home except the clothes are weirder. Why anyone thought these outfits were a good idea is beyond me."

"Oh hey, I'm just a drawer not a writer." She looked up and smiled at him as she continued her drawing. "I'm sorry that people are saying all these stories about you and everything. I mean it would just annoy the heck out of me if people kept telling me about myself." She conversed with him while drawing and smiling at the cat.

"Oh yeah. I mean I'm used to drawing with paint and paintbrushes and even pencil like materials. But not anything like this, but I guess it will have to do. Really? What time are you from if I may ask? I mean I'm used to technology and what used to be Colligo, this place just reminds me of Little House on the Prairie." She laughed.

"It's my own fault. I keep reading them...Kinda hope one will get things right." He had kinda put the stories out of his mind. Morgana had been right when he was worrying about them before, how unlikely they were and everything.

"Maybe we'll change back to the other time soon. This place does weird things all the time, but they don't last long." He kind of liked the other time better. It was more exciting, and he'd gotten used to life there. She asked about his time, and he shrugged.

"I'm from Camelot." No one knew the years, but everyone recognized the name Camelot.

"I don't think that's such a bad idea persay I mean books are everywhere and people are going to come across things like reading about yourself or something."

"Yeah I hope so. These clothes are really hot and itchy. But I mean I'm adapting to it pretty well." She liked talking and drawing at the same time. It was kind of fun to draw with something different. "Yeah I liked the old way better, but I guess as long as I have my health I'll be fine."

"Oh really? So where exactly is Camelot?" She then sighed and remembered reading about those stories. But she didn't want to say anything really.

"Mine weren't terrible, at least not all of them. I'm taking the rest to the tailor to see if they can't be fixed." He had a nice silk jacket and vest, a shirt that wasn't bad, but the outfit was the one that required too small pants and woman's stockings. Merlin preferred slightly itchy clothes to woman's clothing.

"It's in Albion. I'm not sure, but I think it's called Briton now. At least that's what the books said. I was never good with that sort of thing." He could travel from Camelot to Ealdor, and follow Arthur around, but that was about it.

"Yeah well, you have pants, I have this long sleeved dress that just covers my entire body. And with this weather, it gets really hot, my body feels like its on fire or something. I may just take all my dresses and get them made into shorts and shirts or something." She laughed as she looked down at her paper to draw and then looking at him.

"Oh okay, now I know what you're talking about." And she really did know, she's read those stories before. "So what's it like living in Camelot?" She was interested in knowing straight from the source and he seemed like a nice boy to talk to.

"I'm taking a friend's dress to be altered. Remove some of the layers, maybe I'll have the extras made into shirt and pants for her. It is a ridiculous amount of fabric." Morgana's dresses back home were much nicer, lighter, even her winter gowns were as cumbersome as these.

"I like these places better. Back home wasn't as exciting. Well, it was exciting, but not in a good way. Usually there were monsters attacking, and sorcerers after Arthur and Uther." He liked Camelot, but that other city was nicer.

"Well, maybe I'll have to go and do that then, I feel like a ball of fluff or something, if I sit down I nearly fall over." She looked at him, "Could you move your head that way please just so I can capture your bone structure." She pointed to the left.

"I like where I lived. I had my friends and my boyfriend and now everything and everyone in my life is gone. I miss Greece and my home. But I do have to say I've met some incredible people here. And hey at least here you don't have to worry about monsters attacking." She shrugged her shoulders.

"You look nice though. I mean, I hear they are itchy and hot and -- well -- At least you look like a pretty uh..ball of fluff." Merlin flushed awkwardly and rubbed the back of his neck, eventually just shutting up and turning his head like he was told. He was wretched at talking to girls who weren't Gwen or Morgana, complimenting anyways, he could talk plenty it just never sounded the way he meant it to.

Returning to the topic of Camelot was much better. There was no way he could embarrass himself again talking about monsters right? If anyone could manage it, he probably could. Oh, gods -- He hoped she didn't color his face all red like it probably was. "Um...I guess. There have been monsters. Like ones trying to cut out hearts, and this weird demon that made your worst fears real or something, and then everyone changing into their halloween costumes...So I wouldn't be surprised if more showed up, but at least here they aren't all set on killing Arthur."

She started laughing and then she blushed, wow what a compliment that was. "Thank you. And your right, I do look like a very big ball of fluff." She sat there drawing him. He was a really nice person to talk to and really enjoyed talking and drawing him. "You know what. I bet you never get this but you have great bone structure." She then started to blush some more. Wow was she really saying this stuff? Really? She felt totally embarrassed.

"Wow. Well, I've never experienced anything like that before. Monsters, Demons, none of it. I think that the worst thing that I had to go through was that when I tried to get back together with my boyfriend I found out that he was married and expecting a child, luckily we made up and everything, but I guess we can't be together unless he gets put here. And then my sister Effie losing me and my friends pants in Greece." She then stopped and took a deep breath as she was talking way too much. "Sorry for me talking so much. But that's true and you don't have to worry about those monsters getting you guys, this place is safe, well, I hope so."

"No, I've never heard that before. Thank you though, I guess." Merlin laughed a little and shrugged. Good bone structure. He supposed that was something, and it was probably just as good as being a pretty ball of fluff. It made him feel better that they were both blushing like loons.

"It's alright. I'm sorry about not being able to be with your boyfriend. I understand...I mean, not about the boyfriend, I don't miss a -- I don't have a boyfriend. I just meant missing some one you care about." He ran a hand through his hair, and bit his lip deciding he probably sounded ridiculous. "I wouldn't say safe, but it's not bad. What time were you from?"

"Well, from an artists point of view you have great cheekbones, and good facial structure as well. Sorry if I'm saying all this stuff, its what I view when I draw." She started to laugh. Merlin was a nice guy, yep they could be great friends she thought, even though she just met him. She was drawing him and they were having a good conversation, she hoped so anyways.

"Oh hey its alright. I just hope that he doesn't think that I just abandoned him you know. I really do miss him, but if I brought to this place. I just hope that he knows that I still care about him and everything." She continued to draw him and then she looked at him, "ummm I'm from this time actually. So Colligo was like any old city that I have visited. But now it just seems so foreign, I mean with the clothes and the coins as money. I wish that Colligo would just return to its normal state."

"Thank you. I don't know anything about drawing people, or drawing much at all really so I'll take your word for it." He was red much of the conversation, he hadn't been complimented or had complimented someone like this in one sitting.

"I'm sure he knows, and maybe you'll get to see him again soon. Sometimes people get brought here, or sent back home randomly." He shrugged, that was the best comfort he could offer really. "Oh. You were from the other city. I liked that one. It was a lot easier, or things there were. Like refrigerators. It was so busy and loud, at first I couldn't stand it, but I liked it a lot better then this time."

"Well, that's all I know about. I mean I guess I could go into some other field of study but drawing is a destresser for me. It makes me smile and happy when I'm having a bad day. But yeah, I kind of notice things about people when I'm drawing them, for instance what the person is feeling just by looking at the picture." She shrugged her shoulders.

"I sure hope so. I want to see him again, so hopefully that he gets to come here well, not here here, but you know what I mean, what Colligo used to be. Because I've met some great friends and would hate to leave." She then laughed and put her hair behind her ears. "Yeah I'm actually from that time. I got used to refrigerators since I was born. Its this time and place that just tires me out and kind of makes me think how good of a life I have."
