03:10:11  Molly I haven't seen anything that makes me think you are no longer protecting lady catherine, or anyone else to the best of your ability. You have seemed slightly more focused on your past than before, but that could be a mis-perception on my part, based on knowing more than I did.
  03:11:00 Morgan I suspect that lately I have been dwelling on it, considering the dilemma I have with Eiblinn
  03:12:19  Molly Perhaps it is then better to break the relationship sooner than later, in case you are right, and the continuing lack of concntration puts someone at risk.  
  03:16:25 Morgan I dont honestly think anyones at real risk at the moment. When the time demands it I shall be as I was... my concern is... I've been foolish *he brandishes the letters*. I wrote to a friend to ask advice and the conclusion is the same as my own. I must let Eiblinn go her own way, alone.
  03:18:43  Molly I think yourfriend gives sound advice. Much as I believe that someday, somehow you will find someone, a companion to live out your days with, she'd need to be a termperate soul, content with a caring friendship rather than true love. I don't know that Eiblinn could ever be truly happy knowing that your heart is forever spoken for.
  03:19:35 Morgan no, I suspect you're right. Besides, I feel that Eiblinn wants more from life than we can offer here... or, more than I can offer here, since you're soon to be in your own home.
  03:22:02  Molly You make me feel guilty when you say such things... I feel that maybe I should stay, because I'm needed here
  03:22:44 Morgan dont you dare think that. We shall cope in this house, though you and Jaeger will always be welcome to visit
  03:23:46  Molly I hope so, for we will have no maids, and times when he is away on business might find me lonely in the new house
  03:26:31 Morgan you will always be welcome here while he is away... assuming of course that you stay behind
  03:27:06  Molly well, a few seasons down the line, I should imagine I will have little choice *she blushes*
  03:27:24 Morgan I should imagine you'll make a fine mother
  03:27:31 Morgan Molly, I have a favour to ask of you
  03:27:53  Molly You can always aask anything of me, you know that
  03:28:25 Morgan the guest I wish to bring to your wedding...  
  03:28:52  Molly yes...
  03:29:27 Morgan I'd like your permission to invite Captain Tsaylur as my guest
  03:30:19  Molly of course, if you want .... she will be invited anyway if you change your mind
  03:31:35 Morgan I wouldn't invite her if you'd wanted her as bridesmaid, perhaps
  03:32:26  Molly no, we are not very close...  
  03:32:44 Morgan *Morgan looks to the floor, suddenly shy*
  03:34:01  Molly *molly solves the puzzle* ahhh, the guest who you miss?
  03:34:23 Morgan indeed
  03:35:05  Molly she is a very beautiful woman...
  03:35:17 Morgan that she is
  03:36:11 Morgan I feel a closeness to her that I've not felt in a long time... I worry about her, I miss her when she's not here
  03:38:06  Molly she seems to spend less time here than the others. it is nice that you have made a connection with someone where there is no pressure on you
  03:39:57 Morgan truly she was the first here that I'd count as a friend... and yet... she hides herself behind what she claims to be
  03:42:39  Molly *she looks at him, puzzled*
  03:42:58 Morgan believe me Molly, noone spots a liar like a liar
  03:43:36  Molly yes, I had noticed...
  03:45:51 Morgan still, despite not knowing all I'd like to about her, I still care for her and trust her implicitly
  03:47:20  Molly perhaps if she knew that you thought of her, she would visit more often?
  03:47:42 Morgan I wouldn't put that burden upon her
  03:49:04  Molly why is it a burden?
  03:50:12 Morgan I wouldn't want her feeling tied to this place... she visits when she wants, and I wouldn't want her to feel that she had to
  03:51:14  Molly I suppose I can understand that
  03:54:53  Molly she does strike me as the kind of woman who doesnt have an interest in settling in one place
  03:55:29 Morgan I'm not so sure... we've spoken before about her desire to be a wife... but she's convinced that she's not destined for it
  03:56:32  Molly well, until a few weeks ago, I might have said the same thing, and now look...
  04:00:32 Morgan who knows what the future holds anymore
  04:01:32  Molly indeed.... charls warwick could turn out to be a throughly nice chap... *she giggles*
  04:04:16 Morgan indeed... its entirely possible that the charges against him are just mistaken identity and that he was actually trying to return the stolen artifacts to Vestenmannavnjar
  04:05:07  Molly *She laughs out loud*
  04:08:32  Molly I doubt it some how
  04:09:25 Morgan as do I. We need to arrange for a doctor to see you
  04:09:57  Molly But I'm not ill
  04:11:06 Morgan this I know. The proviso's given by Jaegers parents must be adhered to. While I have utter faith in your statement of purity, I suspect that my word alone would not be enough to keep them happy for long.
  04:12:02  Molly *she looks cautious, like a rabbit caught in carriage late, unsure which direction to bolt* go on...
  04:13:49 Morgan a doctor would be able to confirm what you told me, and a doctors word carries far more weight than a Veissgraf from another land...  
  04:14:10 Morgan and once it had been confirmed by a doctor, your family would have little choice but to admit their error
  04:14:59  Molly a vise what?
  04:16:02 Morgan its the Eisen word for, basically, son of a Lord
  04:16:04  Molly and I see what they request, though the humiliation is more than any woman should have to bear. *there is anger in her voice, beneath the surface*
  04:16:16  Molly Oh, I see
  04:17:36 Morgan You're right, you shouldn't have to endure it, but if you want this union it must be done. And then someone suitably proficient in diplomacy will have to speak to your family
  04:18:34  Molly *sh sighs and leans back heavily in the chair* assuming my father will listen
  04:19:21 Morgan well, the person that sees him will... you told me he was dead
  04:20:05  Molly Did I? When?
  04:20:51 Morgan some time ago
  04:21:09 Morgan still... your father will have to be spoken to by someone, as I said, skilled in diplomacy
  04:21:42  Molly doyou know of such a person who might come and help us *there is a hint of teasing in her voice*
  04:22:10 Morgan no... so I guess I will have to stand in
  04:22:17 Morgan I'm sure your father and I can come to an understanding
  04:22:35  Molly without violence?
  04:22:58 Morgan without violence... this is far too important to risk them claiming duress
  04:24:08  Molly well, I wish you luck... I am by far the least stubborn of the family, and that is saying smething
  04:24:49 Morgan and yet you are miles from my level of stubbornness when the mood takes me
  04:25:31  Molly I think my father may also fall inbetween, for I know of no-one as stubborn as you *she grins at him*
  04:26:11 Morgan *Morgan crosses his arms* then he stands no chance at all. I shall merely inform him of the fact you are to be welcomed back into the family
  04:26:48  Molly *she shakes her head* we'll see.  
  04:27:19 Morgan indeed
  04:28:26  Molly *She stands up from the table* I apprciate everything you'e doing to make this go ahead, especially when you've always harboured reservations about th union.
  04:29:15 Morgan I'll do whatever I can if it ends up with you happy
  04:30:39  Molly thank you. *She touches his shoulder gently* I'm turning in, and I would imagine everyone else already has, so dont forget to blo out the candls when you're done...
  04:31:10 Morgan I'm going to have a walk around the house and grounds before I turn in... sleep well blossom
  04:31:53  Molly and you *she smiles, and then goes towards the dining room doors*
