sfx chirp.
Merlin awoke to the chirping of the birds. Merlin slowly opened his eyes as his vision was still a bit blurred from waking up, it would take a minute for him to adjust so Merlin took his time. Merlin's spirits had been raised recently, this was due to Arthur making his escape and returning to Dawn University safely, this put Merlin's mind at ease. Merlin also had gotten the opportunity to return the holy sword, Excalibur back to Arthur. It seems there was a benefit to Arthur's capture by the hands of the Lucas family, Arthur had discovered that he possessed another quirk. It seems like Arthur was able to store other deceased combatants abilities in another sword, this was the second part of Seance. Arthur's return really put Merlin at ease, the King of Camelot had returned, all while powering up in the progress.
Merlin: Yawnnnnnn...
Merlin pondered if he even wanted to get out of bed today, there didn't seem like there was much for him to do. Merlin was doing well in his classes so him skipping a couple of days really didn't matter, nor did Merlin have any fear of getting kicked out. Maybe Merlin would go out on patrol again, he enjoyed interacting with the civilians. Merlin had already gotten a couple of fans from doing his patrols and it was more interesting than sitting in class.
Merlin: Oya Oya...
Merlin rolled out of his bed and into his bathroom as he prepared to go out for the day. Merlin made his way to the dorm bathroom as he started to brush his teeth, he didn't want to have bad breath like a certain villain Merlin knew about (fuck TOGURO). Merlin looked at himself in the bathroom mirror.
Merlin (thoughts): Jeez...I expected this place to be more exciting. Being here is not as thrilling as I expected, but Arthur needs my support so I can't leave.
Merlin's expectations for the United State were really high, and so far they had not lived up to Merlin's high expectations. It was boring, outside of the occasional theft Merlin didn't have much to do. Maybe it wasn't the city's fault, maybe Merlin had to make more time to look around but being a hero was time-consuming. Merlin hasn't even gotten to eat a chopped cheese at one of those 'bodegas', nor has he wore of a pair of those timberlands boots, or as the New Yorkians call them 'timbs' or 'butters'. Merlin has not really had the full New York experience yet, Merlin desired to indulge in the full New York experience.
Merlin (thoughts): It has been decided then.
Merlin had decided that he would take his time exploring New York City today. Merlin would bring Arthur with him but he was heading out to Coney Island with a classmate, its good for Arthur to socialize and make connections. As for Siegfried, he may not be as strong as his younger brother Arthur but he wasn't as clumsy and he worried Merlin less than Arthur. Merlin made his way back to his room as he prepared to get dressed into his hero costume, Merlin didn't like wearing it all the time but he was hoping to get some sort of heroes discount. Not to mention he needed his costume just in case shit wanted to pop off again.
Merlin grabbed his staff as he headed for his door. This day would also give him time to think about what was next for Camelot, what would be next for Merlin himself, Siegfried, and most importantly, Arthur. The main reason the Pendragon brothers along with Merlin came to the United States, more specifically New York, was so they could attend Dawn University. By attending Dawn University, the council back in Camelot thought that Arthur would gain the qualities and strengths to successfully inherit the throne and become a strong king for Camelot.
Merlin: I guess I should get going.
Merlin made his way out of his door before passing through his dormitory. The place was mostly empty as the other students were in class.
Merlin: I should skip class more often, the dorm is usually so noisy.
Merlin made his way out of the university as headed down towards the town.
Merlin: Hmmm...Where should I go to?
Merlin made his way towards Town Square. Town Square was probably the busiest and most hectic place in all of New York City. This place was full of interesting stores and food stands located all over, this gave Merlin plenty of places to choose from.
Merlin: Oya Oya, this is worse than I expected.
Merlin said this as he watched the huge crowd in the middle of Times Square, people were pushing, brushing and rushing past each other. It was just one big ball of mess and noise among that crowd of people. As Merlin was about to enter the crowd he felt a tug on his cape.
Young girl: Excuse me, mister.
Merlin turned around as he saw a young girl by herself behind him.
Merlin: Oh my, what are you doing here by yourself? You wouldn't you be lost perhaps?
The little girl nodded her head.
Merlin: Oya Oya, that's not good.
Young Girl: You wouldn't happen to be a hero mister?
Merlin: Of course, but that's not important now. Let's get you home first.
The girl nodded her head as Merlin backed up and pulled out his phone. Merlin had just noticed, but the girl had really pale skin. The girl possessed pale skin along with crimson eyes and long white hair. Despite her pretty but different appearance, the kid wore regular clothes. She wore a collared, purple long-sleeved shirt with a light purple scarf to match, a long white skirt and purple boots. Her fashion sense was aligned with the rest of the Americans, she just might have parents who are from Europe.
Merlin: Hello operator, I'm Times Square with a lost girl, could you send police to my location so you can send her home.
Operator: Sure, we'll be there soon.
Merlin reassure the girl that they'll get her home as they waited for police to arrive.
10 minutes pass.
The police arrive getting prepared to send the child home, she was out with her mother but the father should be at home. Merlin got down on one knee to look the girl in the eye before she left.
Young Girl: Thank you, mister.
Merlin: No problem...errr
Illya: My name is Illya mister, what's yours?
Merlin: My name is Merlin, stay safe Illya.
Illya: Thank you.
The girl leaned in to hug Merlin before she got into a cop car and rode off to her house.
Merlin: Jeez, I don't even feel like doing anything anymore.
Merlin headed back to the University.
