< 04Molly > 13~*~*~It is the night before Molly and Morgan leave for Carleon. In the last few days, she has been busy, ensuring all the tasks are completed in preparation. Apart from at meal times, Jaeger has hardly seen her. Now, the evening has drawn in, dinner is done, and most of the staff have retired or gone home. Molly sweeps the dining room, all alone.~*~*~* * Jaeger walks through on his usual nightly walk, for once actualy looking where he is going < 14Jaeger > 11good evenong my love * Molly jumps, not expecting company < 04Molly > 13Good evening, how fare you? < 14Jaeger > 11all the better for seeing you, yourself/ < 14Jaeger > 11? < 04Molly > 13I am well, but a little nervous, I shall confess < 14Jaeger > 11about your trip? i can understand your nervopusness Molly < 04Molly > 13I am not nervous about the trip, for I know I shall be in good hands, but I am nervous about seeing the doctor. * Molly puts the broom aside, and sits at the table, drinking from a goblet there < 14Jaeger > 11there should be no problems with that aspect i'm sure < 04Molly > 13Yes... have you other letters I should take with me tomorrow? < 14Jaeger > 11i only have two to my parents, one telling them the wedding arrangements and the other as an instruction to my solicitor < 04Molly > 13I shall make arrangements to have the one to your parents sent on to them in < 14Jaeger > 11((ok i don't remember lol, but think it was sussex < 14Jaeger > 11if you could yes my dear, both of them need to go to my parent's estate. they shall get there quicker from carleon i think < 04Molly > 13I am sure I will discover how it is to be done. At the very least, Morgan will know how * Molly smiles at him < 14Jaeger > 11a passing coach and a guilder or two normally do the trick with me < 04Molly > 13I will remember that < 14Jaeger > 11ah yes, that reminds me...... < 04Molly > 13I believe we will return here about two quaters of the moon from now * Jaeger pulls the letters out of his pocket, along with a stick of sealing wax, a small candle, a stamp and a tinderbox * Molly comes over to him, looking at the stamp < 14Jaeger > 11i should have done this when i finished them...... * Jaeger lights the candle and melts some wax over the two open edges of the first letter. as it cools, he presses the stamp into it leaving the mark of the royal court impressed * Molly looks surprised < 04Molly > 13I would have expected that you might use the crest of your family... * Jaeger repeats the process for the second letter < 14Jaeger > 11hmmm? oh, sometimes i do, but this guarantees the letters are not lost or delayed. royal mail is better treated < 14Jaeger > 11it may seem dishonest, but it is recommended we use it for important personal letters my love < 04Molly > 13That is understandable... Do you have the Jaeger crest stamp to hand, for I would like to see what I might be putting on my own correspondance in a few moons time < 14Jaeger > 11i shall just find it out < 14Jaeger > 11ah! * Jaeger hands the stamp to molly along with a sheet of parchment and the wax < 14Jaeger > 11try it out my love * evie walks into dining room * Molly takes the stamp, and candle < 04Molly > 13You will have to show me how, for I have never sent a letter before < 14Jaeger > 11very well my love. to get the full effect, fold the parchment not quite in half * Molly hands the stamp and candle back. She carefully folds the paper < 14Jaeger > 11now, angle the candle like so... * Jaeger demonstrates * Molly takes the candle and copies him, biting her lower lip in concentration < 14Jaeger > 11so that the wax does not drip on your hand... and melt a circle of wax over the join, about two thumbs in width * Eiblinn walks into the dining room a bit hot and flustered, with random mud patches and bits of earth on her wet clothes < 14Eiblinn > Its fecking raining outside... * Jaeger looks up briefly < 14Jaeger > 11good old avalonian weather, good evening eiblinn * Molly looks around, dripping the hot wax on her hand < 04Molly > 13Ouch! * Eiblinn lowers her head to Jaeger * Jaeger quickly takes the candle and wax < 14Jaeger > 11allow me my dear < 14Eiblinn > Evening Jaeger..evenin' Molly..what are you doing Molly? * Molly blows on the wax to cool it < 04Molly > 13Burning myself it seems... * Jaeger tkaes a draw from one of the omnipresent flagons and purs a thin stream over the wax * Eiblinn tilts her head slightly * Molly then peels the wax off, the skin underneath slightly reddened < 14Eiblinn > Do you mind if i make myself a hot drink Molly? i'm starting to feel the rain now im inside * Jaeger as gently as possible, jager removes the wax and allows another stream to pass over the area * @Morgan comes clattering out through the kitchen door backwards, saucepan in hand... after a moments hesitation, he pushes back through the door at slightly more than a walk < 04Molly > 13Go ahead Evie * Jaeger looks up < 14Jaeger > 11trouble with the cook? * Eiblinn looks up and tries to stifle a giggle, she gets up and goes to head towards the kitchen < 14Eiblinn > anyone else want a tea? < 14Jaeger > 11do you want to try again my love? < 04Molly > 13In this house, you can never be sure who has fallen out with who... < 04Molly > 13Yes, tea would be nice, and yes, I would try again... < 14Jaeger > 11no thankyou, i believe i'n still processing the wine from dinner < 14Jaeger > 11very well, takethe candle and the wax in hand again * Molly does so < 14Jaeger > 11and remember, two thumbs wide, a little deeper < 14Jaeger > 11standing maybe an eightth of an inch off the paper..... * Molly pours the wax well, as instructed < 14Jaeger > 11well done my love. now, set those down and take up the stamp * Eiblinn goes into the kitchen, slightly wary of cook * Molly takes the stamp, glad to not have spilt the wax again < 14Jaeger > 11you've done well, now we wait a few seconds for the wax to cool slightly, and start to set * Molly waits, and smiles at him * Jaeger after a pause of about 15 secs < 14Jaeger > 11now press the stamp into the wax gently < 14Jaeger > 11but firmly * Molly pushes the stamp into the pool of blue wax, pressing firmly < 14Jaeger > 11now, wait again..... * Jaeger five seconds < 14Jaeger > 11now pull gently * Molly pulls gently * Jaeger inspects the seal < 14Jaeger > 11perfectly done my love, and there you see our crest * Molly blushes at the word 'our' < 14Jaeger > 11mayhap a little premature, but i think you understand my sentiments my love...... < 04Molly > 13Yes... < 14Jaeger > 11honestly, i am impressed at how quickly you understood the process my love, it's remarkable * Molly giggles < 04Molly > 13the marriage process, or the sealing process? * Jaeger jaeger give one of his rare genuine laughs, the soft pleased one reserved just for molly < 14Jaeger > 11the sealing my love, but i notice you still blush at the thought of being joined to me < 14Eiblinn > *A raised Innish voice can be heard from the kitchen* < 14Jaeger > 11i find it so enchanting * Jaeger allows a wry grin to cross his face < 14Jaeger > 11cook is on particularly fine form from the voices...... * Molly looks to the kitchen < 04Molly > 13I ought to intervene... < 14Jaeger > 11i won't have you being injured my love < 04Molly > 13I wouldn't be < 14Jaeger > 11as soon as you open that door, something airborne will come hurtling out, i've seen it too often < 14Jaeger > 11it's know as narrative causality my love * Molly listens carefully to see if she hears more fighting < 14Jaeger > 11like one plate rolling away from a collapsed table, miraculously unharmed * Eiblinn starts raising her voice louder, a distinct hint of annoyance in her voice < 14Jaeger > 11hmmmm * Molly loses her temper, a rare occurance * Molly mutters quietly < 04Molly > 13I do not need this vexation tonight... * Molly goes to the kitchen door, pushing it open hard < 14Jaeger > 11very well but allow me to open the door first < 14Jaeger > 11damn..... < 14Jaeger > 11how is she so quick? * @Morgan 's raised voice is heard as he bellows "You ever speak to me in that manner again, and I'll have you gone from this house, is there an understanding between us?" * Molly looks to see what is occurring in the kitchen * Jaeger appears behind her shoulder * Eiblinn looks angrily at Morgan "Once again, you start shite and I am the one who is apparently in the wrong, look what fecking time it is! And maybe i would be better somewhere else" * Jaeger speaks quietly < 14Jaeger > 11i had a nasty thought it would be them...... < 08@Morgan > Need I remind you who pays your wages? * Molly is torn between staying quiet, and expressing her displeasure at their behaviour * Jaeger whispering < 14Jaeger > 11i suggest we leave them to it my dear < 14Eiblinn > You know i dont give a feck about wages, pay me nothing if it will stop this childishness, i dont choose to protect people for money * Jaeger gently lays a hand on molly's arm * @Morgan looks at the floor momentarily < 08@Morgan > I think, miss Eiblinn, you'd be well advised to wind your neck and stop making assumptions and assertions based on knowledge that you have not yet full appreciated. Though my position here is one of servitude, I am nevertheless the master at arms and will do as I please, at whichever time of night. Should you decide to rise above your station again, I shall be forced to take action, as I would against any unruly and disrespectful employee * @Morgan pushes his way out of the kitchen < 14Eiblinn > Yes, you're master of arms, you're meant to be keeping this house in order, not making it into a madhouse * Eiblinn goes to do a cup of tea * Molly looks at jaeger, and whispers * @Morgan walks to the table and belts his sword and places the pan on the wooden surface * Jaeger whispers back < 08@Morgan > You realise, of course, that that is rather rude * Jaeger crosses the room an sits, pulling out his pipe and black pouch as he does * Molly goes further in to the kitchen, shutting the door behind her * @Morgan rubs the side of his head gingerly < 14Jaeger > 11regrettably sometimes it is necessary. are you injured? < 08@Morgan > a minor bump... I was instructing the cook in some combat techniques using swords, and he, rather adeptly I must say, showed that a sword isn't the only weapon to be used < 14Jaeger > 11may i ask what transpired with cook in there? as a friend? * @Morgan looks sheepishly at jaeger < 08@Morgan > he hit me with a pan < 14Jaeger > 11ah yes, i can see how such an innovative weapon would have bested even the best instructors < 14Jaeger > 11it is the second rule of combat if you will allow a little coarse language < 08@Morgan > it was a decidedly dirty tactic < 14Jaeger > 11hurt the bastard with whatever will hurt him < 08@Morgan > I was under the impression that rule 2 was never forget rule one < 14Jaeger > 11rule one is kill the other bugger before he invokes rule one against you < 08@Morgan > ahhh, a sensible rule and no doubt < 14Jaeger > 11and misstress eiblinn happened to walk in at the wrong time? < 08@Morgan > jumped to the wrong conclusion I'd say < 14Jaeger > 11ah < 14Jaeger > 11well, she does seem a little quick sometimes < 08@Morgan > indeed < 08@Morgan > tell me, master Jaeger... I trust you have no reservations of Molly accompanying me to Carleon? < 14Jaeger > 11i have never been undiplomatic before, but i hope she finds a calling in another art of the globe < 14Jaeger > 11none at all morgan, i trust you completely. there is noone i would rather have her travelling with < 14Jaeger > 11oh yes, would you look after some travelling expenses for me? * Jaeger passes a purse of 18 guilders over * @Morgan picks up the purse and places it in a pouch on his belt < 14Jaeger > 11for the coach and the doctor * Molly enters, her face a studied neutral, distinctly unnatural * Jaeger sees the face and decides not to comment < 08@Morgan > Molly... < 14Jaeger > 11will you sit with us my love? * Molly takes up the broom, and sweeps more * Molly looks at them < 04Molly > 13I can do, if my company is required... < 14Jaeger > 11always wanted, not required * Molly puts the broom down, and sits opposite them < 08@Morgan > something troubles you Molly? * Molly looks quickly at jaeger before looking at the table < 04Molly > 13In truth, I feel pulled sometimes between my friends, and I struggle with it * Molly 's phrasing is careful, as if she is trying to ensure it is said in a way to protect her true feelings < 08@Morgan > I see... then, perhaps, to ease your discomfort, one of those you call friends should remove themselves * Molly looks wary, a rabbit in a trap < 04Molly > 13I do not wish for either of you to leave, for it would deprive me greatly. As it is I will already in part lose you when I leave in february < 14Jaeger > 11very true..... < 08@Morgan > While I understand your distress at the fact, I shall not be spoken to like an errant child by someone that is in my employ * Molly looks at him < 04Molly > 13I do not expect you too. Were one of the maids here to speak to me in such a manner, I would have sent her home to her mother, apron in hand by now * Eiblinn walks in and hands Molly her cup of tea "i am going to help wash up, i will join you in a while" She walks back into the kitchen sipping her tea < 14Jaeger > 11quietly draws away from the table in the direction of the coachyard, pulling his tinderbox off the table as he does * Molly puts the cup down, waiting, ironically, for it to cool < 04Molly > 13I am certain that tomorrow will be a better day * Molly smiles to herself * @Morgan sits down at the table and produces a small silver flask from his pouch < 08@Morgan > oh, today was shaping up rather well... apart from an errant bump on the head * Molly looks at him appraisingly < 14Jaeger > 11 still at the door, jaeger only just manages to stifle a suicidal snort < 04Molly > 13Would you like me to take a look, or do you believe it requires no help to heal? < 08@Morgan > it is but a minor bruise... truly the cook only hit me hard enough to prove his point, while not injuring me properly < 04Molly > 13I wonder whether prudence would state that I ought to be to hand when such training is repeated * @Morgan looks sheepish < 08@Morgan > I rather think training is no longer required * Molly smiles < 04Molly > 13I believe you might well be right, at least for THAT pupil... * Molly looks at jaeger to see whether he got the hint * @Morgan pours something from the flask into a small goblet * Jaeger already left < 04Molly > 13If you are of a mind to continue instruction, I would make you a willing learner... * Molly looks away, embarassed < 08@Morgan > you wish to learn to wield a sword? < 04Molly > 13I believe that there would be no harm in it * @Morgan scratches his head, avoiding her eyes < 08@Morgan > I'm not so sure... I once injured myself with my own sword < 04Molly > 13When I am called to the aid of others, it frightens me that i must leave myself open to attack... I would not wish to lose the life I have for fear of an occasional self-inflicted nick < 08@Morgan > sound enough reasoning < 04Molly > 13I can seek tuition elsewhere, if you do not have the time nor inclination * Eiblinn walks into the room and sits reasonably close to the group, on the same side as Molly, she continues to sip her tea < 08@Morgan > no, I'm sure I can find the time < 04Molly > 13I would be grateful * Molly looks at the table, her eyes suddenly wide as she remembers something. Deciding now is not a good time, she turns to Evie < 04Molly > 13How do the shoes fit Evie? * Eiblinn looks up slightly startled at the conversation < 14Eiblinn > they fit grand love, comfiest pair i think i've ever had to be honest...My heels still hurt from the pair before < 04Molly > 13I am glad to hear it < 14Eiblinn > i must thank you again for the shoes < 04Molly > 13You are welcome, as I have said * Molly drinks her tea * @Morgan hums quietly * Jaeger walks back in and sits < 04Molly > 13Morgan, I have left instruction for the household staff in regard to chores whilst I am away. I expect to return to find the house in a state I would find below par, but if it is tolerable, I shall be pleased. Two quaters of the moon is a great deal of time for them to be without a housekeeper. * Molly grins < 14Eiblinn > where about in Careleon are you visiting? * Eiblinn shows her lack of geographical knowledge < 08@Morgan > I have no doubt that it'll be far below your level of work * Molly smiles at him cheekily < 14Jaeger > 11i see the conversation is much safer now < 04Molly > 13I believe it could hardly be better than my own work < 04Molly > 13I think I shall need to provide instruction to the other maids on how the job should be done before I leave the household < 14Jaeger > 11that would be prudent yes * Molly looks at Evie < 04Molly > 13I believe we shall have business in many quaters of the city, and I should greatly like to visit the coffee shops in the Embassy District * @Morgan looks slightly panicked < 14Eiblinn > It sounds a nice place to take a holiday * Eiblinn turns to Jaeger < 14Eiblinn > Are you too busy to go on holiday too? < 14Jaeger > 11?me looks a litlle uncomfortable < 14Jaeger > 11this trip is something that is none of my domain < 14Jaeger > 11it is better for this time if i am not present i imagine, so I stay here < 04Molly > 13It is simple economics that makes it seem a holiday, but both Morgan and I have business in Carleon, and it make sense to take one carriage not two. There is no need for Curtis to accompany me, as I shall be safe in Morgan's care, and the errands he needs running can be done as effectively by the hand of his fiancee as his own < 14Eiblinn > ohh < 14Eiblinn > makes sense now.. < 14Jaeger > 11me shows pleased surprise at molly's use of his name < 04Molly > 13Also, there will be dresses there that I can not find in Tawstock... * Molly blushes < 14Eiblinn > What kind of dresses do you think they do? * Molly smiles < 08@Morgan > one without leg holes < 04Molly > 13I believe, the type of dresses that can be discussed in front of every man but one < 14Jaeger > 11/me grins < 14Jaeger > 11i take it that was directed at me my love? * Eiblinn produces a big grin, knowing what dress Molly is on about * Jaeger looks confused * Eiblinn finishes her cup of tea and goes to wash up her cup < 04Molly > 13Yes, I would not have you know the details until you see me on the day * @Morgan hums quietly again * Molly sips her tea < 14Jaeger > 11as it should be my love < 04Molly > 13Are we to meet the carriage in the village, or will it come here? * Eiblinn returns and sits down where she was before < 08@Morgan > its supposed to be coming here < 04Molly > 13That might be wise, for I believe my bag might be very heavy < 08@Morgan > I believe there isn't a woman on theah that knows how to travel light < 04Molly > 13I have packed carefully... < 08@Morgan > thats not what I said * @Morgan grins < 14Jaeger > 11?me in the interests of survival, develops a coughing fit * Molly looks like she is about to continue, but doesn't, looking away, her cheeks slightly red < 08@Morgan > I think its one of the more charming things about women... and of course, its perfect for self defense < 04Molly > 13How so? < 08@Morgan > no highwayman will forget getting lumped by a twelve pound bag < 14Jaeger > 11aheavy trunk travelling from carriage roof height can do a lot of damage * Jaeger realises what he said < 14Jaeger > 11but that is a stoery for another time < 04Molly > 13Very true... I have not taken my finest dresses, for fear of losing them in Carleon < 08@Morgan > a good idea if truth be told < 08@Morgan > I've been there on occasion and know it to be... a place of hidden perils * Jaeger looks a little worried < 14Jaeger > 11i'm glad you shall be travelling with Molly Morgan < 04Molly > 13So am I, for I should be afraid to go alone < 14Jaeger > 11that makes two of us < 08@Morgan > many women travel alone to Carleon... it isn't so bad as you might imagine, but you must remember I've seen both sides of the place * Eiblinn returns very quietly singing an old innish comforting song < 14Eiblinn > ive done it < 14Eiblinn > after 20 mins... * Jaeger looks confused < 04Molly > 13Sorry? * Molly looks at Evie, puzzled < 14Jaeger > 11Non sequiturs, the wonderful infinite variety of life........ < 04Molly > 13I think Carleon will be an adventure < 14Jaeger > 11and a wonderful opportunity for you to see some of the world my love < 08@Morgan > Eiblinn, are you joining us at the monastary? * Eiblinn looks up and stops singing < 04Molly > 13I shall scarce have time to return before we journey to Castile < 14Eiblinn > Aye, i thought you knew already? don't i have to look after Jaeger and Molly and Lady catherine? < 14Jaeger > 11ah yes, it is a little fine on time < 14Eiblinn > i think it was those three anyway < 08@Morgan > we;ve been invited to journey aboard a ship < 04Molly > 13Really? * Jaeger looks sick at the thought < 14Eiblinn > a ship? < 14Jaeger > 11yes, i believe we have * Eiblinn smiles thinking of the old docks of southern innismore < 08@Morgan > big thing, goes through the water < 14Jaeger > 11on the surface hopefully * Jaeger says darkly < 04Molly > 13I would not spend the time with repacking, but there are items I desire to wear in Castille that would be impractical for the trip to Carleon < 14Eiblinn > Morgan....how do you suppose i dont know what a ship when not long ago i came from innismore * Eiblinn laughs < 04Molly > 13I believe there was supposedly once a man who walked on water... < 14Jaeger > 11yes, i do recall that story * Jaeger grins < 14Jaeger > 11i have no desire to attempt the experiment * @Morgan rubs his nose < 04Molly > 13Surely, you are not afraid of boats? < 08@Morgan > actually, certain interpretations suggest that it was a sea of reeds * Eiblinn smiles < 14Jaeger > 11the water my love < 14Eiblinn > South innismore is full of reeds * @Morgan thinks about it for a moment * Molly 's face becomes very serious < 04Molly > 13I can certainly understand a fear of drowning < 14Eiblinn > my mother occasionally made baskets out of them, they're useful for so many things, i just about managed to master how to use them for a pitiful excuse of a basket * Molly looks down at the table < 08@Morgan > so, what you're saying is... the son of our god walked on innismore? < 14Jaeger > 11as long as io don't see it i'll be fine though < 14Eiblinn > no! im just saying...I'm glad that i will get to see many missed beauties of nature that i experienced daily in innismore < 04Molly > 13Perhaps you can remain in your cabin for much of the time? * Jaeger taskes out his knife and cuts away some of the atmosphere so he can see the others * @Morgan whistles < 08@Morgan > how different the holy texts would be... < 14Jaeger > 11ossibly yes my love < 08@Morgan > and the lord turned to Peter and said unto him "is it always this wet?" < 04Molly > 13I would stand at the bow and watch the waves, for I am damned if I let a little fear beat my spirit in to submission < 14Jaeger > 11it isd an irrational fear i know, but is one i have always had < 14Jaeger > 11quoted directly from the book of matthew i believe morgan < 04Molly > 13I do not believe that drowning is an irrational fear * Molly shudders slightly < 14Jaeger > 11you would be correct my love * @Morgan speaks quietly * Molly looks away < 08@Morgan > there are worse ways to die * Eiblinn smiles There is nothing more beautiful then the sea...how powerful, yet how serine it can be * Molly bites her lip, mentally kicking herslef < 14Jaeger > 11hmmmm < 14Jaeger > 11but this is not a subject to dwell on on the eve of a long trip * Molly opens her mouth to speak, and then shuts it again, looking at the table.

I am not sure about the skirt * Eiblinn smiles < 04Molly > 13It has to be the most beautiful dress I've ever owned < 14Eiblinn > to be honest, as long as its either the same colour or a deeper colour then the corset, any expensive material should suit < 14Eiblinn > Maybe a deep purple velvet would go? < 04Molly > 13Quite possibly. I shall have to browse the shops for something suitable, without boring morgan * Eiblinn laughs < 14Eiblinn > im sure he won't mind if he knows the purpose of the skirt < 04Molly > 13He is still a man... < 14Eiblinn > i suppose.. < 14Eiblinn > i think it is time we also retired < 04Molly > 13Go if you wish Evie, but I have work to do < 14Eiblinn > want any help? < 04Molly > 13No, I would be alone with my thoughts, if it pleases you < 14Eiblinn > to be perfectly honest, i have many thoughts of my own that i need to deal with, hopefully my mood will change by tomorrow < 04Molly > 13At the very least, taking Morgan away with me will remove the tension between you, albeit briefly < 14Eiblinn > yes..well..it is another subject that concerns me not morgan..anyway, i shall retire now * Eiblinn gets up and smiles at molly < 14Eiblinn > g'night love, sleep well < 04Molly > 13Good night Evie * Eiblinn leaves the room
