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.
