Leon sifted through the bags of clothes on the living room table, pulling off the borrowed shirt he'd gotten from Gwaine, and glancing between t-shirts and button downs provided him. The apartment was quiet, the door and windows open to let the cool air flow through, and the knight was sifting through his new possessions. A few bags of clothes, two pairs of shoes, a how-to book for the pda, a very thick encyclopedia currently open to the page on automobiles, and all his armor were spread over the couch and table.

Eventually he ran a hand along the smooth fabric, and pulled on the red polo shirt. He vanished just briefly to change into a pair of jeans, throwing the borrowed outfit into a hamper in the bathroom, then settled back on the sofa to inspect it all. This was too much. He flicked through the encyclopedia again, all the completely foreign bolded topics and explanations, and eventually stopped on 'planets.' Carding his fingers through his hair, Leon set the book back down, and moved to stand by the window instead. That didn't offer any comfort either. There were roads, cars, noise, lights...Eventually he leaned by the wall and just closed his eyes.

He would adjust. Gwaine had probably taken all of this in stride. Arthur and Gwen had built a life and family here. Morgana, Merlin, even Uther have made lives here. He would too, but for right now he still would've liked something familiar. Maybe he would walk to the park he'd been told about, it would be the closest he would get to somewhere devoid of so much new technology.

"I haven't," And he wasn't entirely certain he wished to either. He imagined the meeting would not only be awkward, but mildly threatening and then it would take weeks to be on easy footing. Especially when he found out all that had happened since arriving here. "But I'm certain Gwen will be glad to hear he returns."

"Lancelot?" Arthur laughed, and perhaps it could have sounded kinder. He truly did like Lancelot, for all the odd misunderstandings and abrupt departures. "He was once here for a few months."

"They don't always see eye to eye, but it's easy to tell she's glad to have him back. There was a long time where he disappeared, went off traveling, and never sent word. Now he helps run the blacksmith shop with Gwen, and he's a very capable knight." Leon explained, it was strange to imagine that life in Camelot continued on, or more accurately - had long since passed without noticing their absence. Even if they were somehow in both places at once.

"I don't know him as well as the others. He seems quiet, and he keeps company with Merlin and Percival more often then not. I remembered him from his last visit though." He was fairly certain that Uther was not pleased that any of the others had been knighted, but especially in Lancelot and Gwaine's particular cases. However, if he had anything to say on it the conversation remained between Uther and Arthur alone.
