Merlin was relieved to be back in this version of the city. There was never any shortage of things to do in this time. The throwback to the past had been strange because places like home - it wasn't as easy to find work to do, or things to keep busy. Not to mention the clothes are better. He'd been eager to try some new form of transportation since arriving. His friends were of the impression that a motorcycle was not a good idea for him, and one try at it was enough for him to agree. Bicycle was the next best thing but when he'd got into the shop the guy working there insisted he'd be 'cooler' with a skateboard. Merlin did like the designs, and the other had shown him how he could ride the skateboard which did look fun, so he bought it.

Now Merlin was on the sidewalk outside the apartments rolling unsteadily back and forth, the knees of his jeans torn up, bits of dirt all over from the many times he'd fallen. Not that it discouraged him. He was able to make it up the sidewalk at a decent speed now, which was enough improvement to motivate him.

"Yet." Robin winked, then quickly noted. "Sorry, I'm only kidding! I mean...I can tell you more than a thing or two about my own stories that are near utter lies..."

Yes...stories, balleds- films, even. Robin shook his head. "Some of it's true...some of it's not. Mostly they tell tales about how I robbed from the richer classes to help the poor- which is true, though the details are always wrong."

Merlin smiled awkwardly, not appreciating the joke, but realizing he really hadn't meant anything by it. He had tried to stop worrying so much about the stories because he hoped they really didn't apply to them while they were here.

"Oh! I read a story about you when I was looking for stories about us, my friends I mean." Robin Hood had sounded familiar, and he recognized the story. "So you've met Gwen and Arthur already?"

He hadn't meant any sort of offense, merely to joke about their situation and the irony of such tales.

He'd read stories of him? An eyebrow raised before he gave the wizard a small nod. "Gwen, yes...Arthur? No. At least, not face to face. I actually gave Gwen an archery lesson only a few weeks ago- she's quite the natural talent with the bow. I was surprised, pleasantly so."
