11:22  Morgan  Madison says (23:04): *Morgan wanders around the dining room, moving bits of paper all over the table* 11:39  Molly  *Molly enters the dining room, a spring in her step, and a huge smile on her face. She notices Morgan, and looks around the room to see if anyone else is there* 12:15  Morgan  *Morgan stands back momentarily, muttering to himself. After a moment, he goes back and swaps two pieces of paper over* 14:00  Molly  * Realising everyone is elsewhere, she does not lose the smile* Morgan? 14:26  Morgan  *He glances back over his shoulder, then back at the table* Yes? 15:23  Molly  Am I disturbing your work? I can do some more chores if now is an inoppurtune moment... 15:56  Morgan  *Morgan sighs slightly, looking around the table* No, I'm glad of the company 16:46  Molly  *She looks at the table* Might I be of some service to you? 17:38  Morgan  I'm trying to come up with an idea of placements for a gathering... the last that we had didn't quite go as planned 18:31  Molly  It is difficult to ensure maximum conversation but minimum disagreement between those sat together... 19:49  Morgan  I'm given to understand that Lord Torrington was a little displeased with being relegated to the main table with the Queen of the summer court being here 21:28  Molly  *Her voices takes on a note of sarcasm* Yes, that was particularly insulting, for he definately must outrank any being, temporal or not and his will must be done, even though he does not have any strange powers to make people fall in love with others. 22:49  Morgan  truthfully, if it was his first interaction with the Sidhe, he did very well. He didn't complain very much at all 23:44  Molly  *She flinches at the word* I think perhaps he would have been happier if she'd made Lady Sophia fall in love with him, even if he does know love isnt so simple. 25:17  Morgan  *Morgans eyes narrow momentarily* am I right in thinking that Lady Sophia was enamoured with Lady Torrington for a time? 26:50  Molly  *She looks suprised* I do not know to tell the truth. Stranger things have happened, and contrary to the beliefs of many, I don't spy on the guests _all_ the time. 27:23  Morgan  I wonder if she'll ever return...  27:52  Molly  *Molly's face darkens* I dearly hope not 28:29  Morgan  *Morgan raises an eyebrow, still staring at the table* She was... intriguing. I'd like the opportunity to know her better 29:12  Molly  *Molly smiles sadly* I think most of the gentleman who visit would do, for she seems to attract the affections of most men. 30:00  Morgan  There's no denying she's attractive, and certainly intelligent. I'm more interested, however, in knowing why she gave me her attention so strongly, and why she insisted on calling me Master Morgan 31:51  Molly  I really do not know, but I can tell you one thing, my heart says to stay a goodly distance from her interest, just to be on the safe side. Of course, it is your choice, and I believe you probably know better than I, in this and most things. 32:25  Morgan  *Morgan smirks slightly* I've a suspicion that, if my fears are correct, I'm about to put a spoke in her wheel 33:06  Molly  *She looks at him, raising an eyebrow, her voice much lighter* Care to shall your nefarious plans, good sir? 33:33  Morgan  I think I'm going to take your advice. I'm going to tell Lady Torrington whats going on 34:42  Molly  *Her face pales* That does make sense, it is indeed better to be truthful and hope for mercy than dishonest and by such an omission receive none...*she sounds slightly unsure* 35:24  Morgan  *Morgan takes a letter out of his belt pouch and hands it to Molly* 35:59  Molly  *She takes it, hand unsteady, and reads it very slowly, to make sure she can not misintpret its words* 38:54  Molly  *She sits, in the nearest chair, and hands it back* It is as perfect as such a thing can be put... 39:22  Morgan  *Morgan puts the letter back in the pouch* I dont know about perfect, but it says what I mean 40:58  Molly  *She bites her lower lip* If I were a god-fearing woman, I'd pray that she grants you forgiveness, but I am not. Instead, it shall just remain the deepest desire in my heart, and the wish I make on seeing the first star each night. 41:43  Morgan  I can think of more appropriate things to wish for, blossom 43:05  Molly  *She looks at him* What is more appropriate to wish for than the happiness of one's dearest friend? I am not the sort of girl to wish for fine dresses and balls, though perhaps I once was.  43:38  Morgan  *Morgan chuckles slightly* I'm personally just hoping she doesnt try to have me hanged 44:41  Molly  *Mollys face becomes deadly serious* I had not even considered that... 45:46  Morgan  I shouldn't think its likely... unless Lady Sophia has more influence than I thought 47:37  Molly  I still fail to see WHY she would push for you to be hanged though? Though your brother is a despicable creature, I can not see what joy it could bring him to take your life, not after ruining what you had, and taking away any hope of you rebuilding such a happy life in the future. 48:53  Morgan  I'm not sure she has anything to do with my brother, except in the loosest terms. You must remember, Molly, Eisen is just out of a civil war tahts wracked the country. Territory is now a premium desire for those whose lands were once limited 50:43  Molly  *Molly looks awestruck* I am not in any position in life to be much aware of such political meanderings. Having never been more than 3 leagues from Tawstock, I am untravelled and mostly unschooled. Could she then be here to seek a favourable marriage with you? 52:02  Morgan  I think perhaps you mistake my meaning. I'm wondering if perhaps she's here to further fracture my family, leaving our territory ripe to be... taken over 53:10  Molly  *Molly blushes* Oh, I see. Yes, that makes much more sense, because with only the tiniest piece of information from those that know, she would have had adequete reason to alter her plans and look for another potential mate 54:23  Morgan  I'm also beginning to consider contacting my family. I have done once this year, but only to lead false trails for someone that Sigfried mentioned 56:24  Molly  *She nods* That would be wise, for if she has desires to fracture the bonds more so than they already have been, your family must be on their guard. Do you have other siblings? In some ways I seem to know everything, and yet know nothing, about you. Why, I didnt even know you'd been a farm hand until I read it just now! 57:08  Morgan  it was when I first came to Avalon. I needed a job, so took what I could. 57:29  Molly  Oh, I know _that_ feeling well 58:08  Morgan  Siblings... no, there's only Edward and myself.  58:47  Molly  Were your mother and father disapointed? 59:06  Morgan  with what? 59:20  Molly  Only having two children? 59:44  Morgan  no, I think they were overjoyed at it... they believed I was to be a lone child 06/09/2008  00:00:24  Molly  *Molly goes uncharacteristically quiet, deep in thought* 06/09/2008  00:01:36  Morgan  *Morgan watches her, waiting* 06/09/2008  00:02:16  Molly  *She looks at him* Sorry, my mind was many leagues away. So, what gathering are you arranging the seating for? 06/09/2008  00:02:58  Morgan  Just... _a_ gathering. Doens't hurt to be prepared, apparently 06/09/2008  00:04:15  Molly  *She smiles* And does one of those pieces of paper bear the name Lady Molly Jaeger, by chance? 06/09/2008  00:04:49  Morgan  *Morgan produces a piece of folded paper from his pouch and hands it over. On it is written "Lady Molly Jaeger" 06/09/2008  00:06:11  Molly  *She holds it for a few seconds, before handing it back* I would find it intensly difficult to dine in your pouch... *her smile returns* 06/09/2008  00:06:49  Morgan  I've been trying to decide where to place you and yours. I think on the opposite side of the table to Captain Tsaylur 06/09/2008  00:07:56  Molly  That would be sad, for I would dislike to be against such a beautiful lady... Those looking up and down the table would surely find me lacking *she grins broadly* 06/09/2008  00:08:42  Morgan  *Morgan stays quiet, not trusting his own tongue* 06/09/2008  00:09:47  Molly  *Molly sighs, almost inaudibly* It looks strange to see it written...so very...definate 06/09/2008  00:10:09  Morgan  *Morgan looks sideways at her* Second thoughts? 06/09/2008  00:10:59  Molly  *She goes scarlet* Just the shock of nearly losing my life I suppose. I'm sure in a few days I will feel much better
