*Molly walks out of the kitchen back door, obviously looking for someone. The afternoon is still warm, though slightly cloudier than when she sat outside with Jaeger. She wipes her hands on her apron, and shields her eyes with the right one from the low sun

17/09/2008  20:53:42  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  *Morgan lays flat on his back on the grass by the courtyard archway with his eyes closed*

17/09/2008  20:54:47  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *Molly stops in her tracks, images in her mind of the numerous times he's been injured that she's had to heal him. She goes quickly to his side* Are you injured, good sir?

17/09/2008  20:55:45  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  *Morgan opens his eyes slowly* No, blossom. Not injured at all, just taking a rare opportunity to relax

17/09/2008  20:56:08  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She smiles down at him* Might I sit beside you?

17/09/2008  20:56:26  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  of course, girl, no need to ask

17/09/2008  20:57:03  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She sits beside him, her voice is quiet* I told Curtis that you saved my life...

17/09/2008  20:57:52  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  *Morgan stays perfectly still, his chest rising only slightly with his breathing* Oh? And how did our empassioned lord receive such enws?

17/09/2008  20:58:40  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  He was incredibly grateful to you, and not suprised at your heroics at all. I shall confess, I did edit the tale somewhat...

17/09/2008  21:00:35  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  I should imagine he wouldn't have appreciated the unabridged version

17/09/2008  21:01:14  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She blushes* It does not feel like something he would understand

17/09/2008  21:01:57  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  *Morgan smirks slightly* indeed. I rather suspect his imagination would run away with him

17/09/2008  21:03:05  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She tilts her head upwards, closing her eyes to the sun* Yes, I believe it would, and I can only assume he would make more of the situation that what it was...

17/09/2008  21:04:05  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  Undoubtedly.

17/09/2008  21:05:09  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She looks at him* I wanted to let you know that I had told him, so that he did not blurt it out. I did not want you to think that perhaps I had betrayed our confidance and told him everything.

17/09/2008  21:05:43  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  Molly, he is to be your husband. What you choose to tell him is your own decision, and I shall never ask otherwise.

17/09/2008  21:07:18  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She turns away* I know that honesty must be an essential if our marriage has any chance of lasting and my love for him to come, but there are somethings that he need not know

17/09/2008  21:08:01  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  ahh, the difference between honesty and truth

17/09/2008  21:09:02  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  Is that wrong of me? That I do not necessarily wish to give him all of me? That part of me longs to be free to act on my own whims?

17/09/2008  21:09:43  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  Such is the nature of being human I think

17/09/2008  21:10:57  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She sighs* Although sad, I am glad I do not feel the burden when no-one else does

17/09/2008  21:11:17  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  Which burden would this be?

17/09/2008  21:12:08  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  That of wishing to act on my own desires when my circumstances prevent it

17/09/2008  21:14:02  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She picks a few daisies from around her skirts, and threads them together to make a chain*

17/09/2008  21:15:04  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  ((you ok darlin?))

17/09/2008  21:15:41  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  ((camming))

17/09/2008  21:16:25  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  You find life here stifling, blossom? *he tilts his head to look at her*

17/09/2008  21:18:58  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She looks back at him* I sometimes find life stifling in its entirety.. I am a woman, and therefore must prepare for my wifey role. I have been a dutiful daughter, good housekeeper and will be, if the future does not present other avenues, a devoted wife... I could never have travelled, or been a courtesan, because I was born in to this position in life

17/09/2008  21:20:27  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  Ahh, but I rather suspect as the wife of a lord, you will soon start to travel

17/09/2008  21:23:23  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She shifts position to get a few more daisies. Finishing her chain, she puts the loop slowly on the top of her head, where it sits like a natural circlet. There is something almost bridal about it* You are right, of course. I shall have to be content with being a courtesan in my imagination though *Her voice is playful*

17/09/2008  21:24:19  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  *Morgans eyes unfocus slightly* Courtesans are... strange creatures. But then, it seems that the ones I've met aren't actually courtesans at all

17/09/2008  21:28:11  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She adjusts the headband, and giggles* I believe many carry the name, but not the tasks...

17/09/2008  21:29:12  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  In some cases, I truly hope not

17/09/2008  21:30:19  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She looks at him* I assume you make reference to a certain captain?

17/09/2008  21:31:59  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  *Morgan colours red* Am I that transparant?

17/09/2008  21:32:59  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She takes the flowers off, discarding them* Sometimes, yes. I can discern who you speak of, but not your feelings or intentions towards her...

17/09/2008  21:35:02  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  that may be because I often dont know myselfr

17/09/2008  21:36:50  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *Her face is neutral, almost perfectly so* Perhaps she might consider being your companion, if you are willing to travel again...

17/09/2008  21:38:39  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  *Morgans brow furrows* No, I dont wish to travel again... not yet. As for Captain Tsaylur, I still cant shake the feeling there is much more to her than she claims... perhaps it takes a liar to spot one?

17/09/2008  21:41:05  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She leans towards him, to ensure she is not overheard. She speaks quietly, almost a whisper* And would you have spotted my lies? Could you see through the words I have said that are untruths?

17/09/2008  21:41:59  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  I always knew there was something more to you, as well.

17/09/2008  21:43:44  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She moves away* I am glad you were the only one to spot it

17/09/2008  21:46:51  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She tenses up* I should return inside before my lack of presense arises suspicion.

17/09/2008  21:47:23  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  Well, its time for your secret to come out, little one. Time to stop pretending to be a poor house servant and become the daughter of a gentleman again

17/09/2008  21:49:36  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  I will be the daughter of a gentleman for the first time, merely the daughter of a farmer before, but at least I will BE a daughter again. I have discussed the matter with Curtis, and he feels that if I were to wish it, Carleon would be the best place to acquire the necessary papers... *she lets the words trail off, unsure as to whether he still wishes to take her*

17/09/2008  21:50:36  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  Yes, I suspect the doctors there would be better qualified than the one we have in the village

17/09/2008  21:52:08  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She hides a smile* It ought to be soon, for the wedding will be upon us before we can believe

17/09/2008  21:53:06  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  Perhaps in a few days, providing I can get Lady Torringtons permission for the journey

17/09/2008  21:55:14  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She looks at the ground* I do not suppose you might have had cause in past experience to know how much lodgings might be, so that I might ask Curtis to allow me some Guilder to take with me?

17/09/2008  21:55:59  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  ((I aint got a fucking clue))

17/09/2008  21:56:15  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  ((shit, sorry))

17/09/2008  21:58:02  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  ((good quality lodgings for a week would be 1 guilder, and about the same for food for a week.. obviously if he has high class places in mind, it'd prolly be more like 3))

17/09/2008  22:00:42  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  ((you there?))

17/09/2008  22:00:48  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  *Morgan rolls his eyes around, trying to dredge up memories* I think... two guilders a week.

17/09/2008  22:02:15  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  I do not know how long you require in the city, but obviously I shall find my own amusement for the times I can not be with you. Do you know how many days we might be absent for? *She is fidgeting, very excited about the prospect*

17/09/2008  22:04:43  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  ((camming, one mo))

17/09/2008  22:07:30  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  ((back))

17/09/2008  22:07:41  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  well, if we take a week in Carleon, then... ((two days each way?))

17/09/2008  22:08:28  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  ((ummm...I'd guess 3))

17/09/2008  22:09:10  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  I think we're looking at nearly two weeks, all told

17/09/2008  22:10:46  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She grins, her face beautiful in her raw joy* Two whole weeks! Away and on the road!! Out of Tawstock and in to the City!! *She voice holds a childlike glee, and she has never looked happier in all the time he's known her. Her enthusiasm is almost infectious*

17/09/2008  22:12:25  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  I absolutely _must_ stay away from certain areas, mind. Though you wouldn't be particularly safe in those areas anyway.

17/09/2008  22:13:54  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She looks at him, much calmer* I will behave in any way you see fit, and obey all your wishes, for I do not wish to be a burden to you.

17/09/2008  22:15:05  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  You're no burden to me, girl. Just there are places I do not wish to be seen, and places where you would not be safe.

17/09/2008  22:15:40  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She smiles* I will follow your lead, for I am far more inexperienced than you

17/09/2008  22:16:52  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  Count your blessings in that respect my girl

17/09/2008  22:17:52  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  I'm sure the bits that I can explore will more than make up for those I can not go to

17/09/2008  22:18:28  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  I rather think you can come around with me for the most part

17/09/2008  22:19:45  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She smiles* I would have thought that you might have business that I could not be priviledge to...

17/09/2008  22:20:18  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  there are some people I must see, but I have no concerns with taking you along

17/09/2008  22:20:54  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She looks pensive* Will there be a problem for us to travel together?

17/09/2008  22:22:34  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  ((think damiens gearing up for RP... just asked for the addy for the chatroom))

17/09/2008  22:22:55  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  ((bex has been nagging me))

17/09/2008  22:23:13  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  heh

17/09/2008  22:23:18  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  +((_))

17/09/2008  22:23:28  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  I dont see there would be... for all intents and purposes, until you're wed, you're my employee

17/09/2008  22:23:48  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  ((I aint gonna be able to use the chatroom on this... its too slow))

17/09/2008  22:24:03  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  ((thats ok babes, we'll do whats best for you))

17/09/2008  22:24:11  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  Oh yes, I had not thought of that

17/09/2008  22:24:45  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  I've become relatively adept at thinking on my feet the last two years

17/09/2008  22:25:35  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  I have had few things to find excuses for in my life, so far

17/09/2008  22:26:05  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  Unfortunately, the things I needed to cover quickest, I failed to cover at all

17/09/2008  22:27:22  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *SHe raises an eyebrow* Such as when I discovered your true identity?

17/09/2008  22:28:54  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  Indeed. And Sigfried figuring something was amiss because of my writing

17/09/2008  22:30:30  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She bites her lower lip* Would you rather have had me not know, if you could change things? Even if it meant we lost the confidance we have together now?

17/09/2008  22:31:33  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  You, and the others knowing makes my life more complicated. 

17/09/2008  22:33:36  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  8She turns to him* I would never do anything to compromise your disguise

17/09/2008  22:34:18  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  I know. Certainly not intentionally, at any rate. But even he who tries to hide it so hard slips up.

17/09/2008  22:37:07  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  It is one of those special peices of knowledge that I hold close to me, that not even wild horses could get out of me.

17/09/2008  22:37:54  Madison  (*) Crys (*)  *Morgan stares back at the sky* Not even undomesticated equines, you say?

17/09/2008  22:40:03  (*) Crys (*)  Madison  *She smiles* Indeed. Why such beasts would be concerned with the secret thoughts, feelings and intimacies of a young woman I do not know
