* @Morgan sighs and heads into the corridor <04Molly> **there is stiill a bustle of work being done to prepare for the guests. <04Molly> *Reinhardt spots Morgan, bringing him a note* * Molly is now known as Reinhardt <14Reinhardt> My Lord, I have this for you * @Morgan takes it <08@Morgan> thank you * Reinhardt bows, leaving him to it * @Morgan opens it <14Reinhardt> **It reads as follows: My Lord, I stayed away as instructed, but wish to know how Inga is, and see her again. I think of nothing but her, and whether she will accept my proposal. Yours, Heinrich' * @Morgan sighs * @Morgan looks for Reinhardt * Reinhardt is watching the front steps through the window with a shake of his head and a sigh * @Morgan goes to the window and looks through it <08@Morgan> problems? * Reinhardt watches Heinrich stood outside <14Reinhardt> There appears to be something afoot that I am not privy to <08@Morgan> oh? <14Reinhardt> Why, for example, Heinrich is never here, and why he wears the face of a scolded child. <08@Morgan> because he was told to stay away and was scolded like a child * Reinhardt nods <14Reinhardt> In that case, should I order him from the doorway? <08@Morgan> no... go and get him, bring him to my office * Reinhardt bows, and goes * @Morgan mutters and goes to his office * Reinhardt is now known as Heinrich * Heinrich knocks a few minutes later <08@Morgan> come * Heinrich enters. He looks dishevelled, unshaven. He stands before Morgan's desk. <14Heinrich> My Lord? <08@Morgan> sit down * Heinrich does so <08@Morgan> you look terrible <14Heinrich> I am sorry, my Lord * @Morgan sighs * Heinrich looks to him <14Heinrich> How is she, my Lord? <08@Morgan> she's fine * Heinrich smiles <14Heinrich> Good <08@Morgan> I dont want to be cruel, Heinrich, so I'll say this bluntly. Its time to leave her alone. Perhaps she'll consent to remain friends, but thats as far as it will go * Heinrich frowns <14Heinrich> She has told you so? * @Morgan looks hard at Heinrich <08@Morgan> you think I'd make it up? <14Heinrich> No, my Lord, I am just suprised that there is no hope <08@Morgan> she has moved on * Heinrich looks suspicious <14Heinrich> There is someone else? <08@Morgan> It doesn't matter * Heinrich 's eyes harden <14Heinrich> I'll leave then. * @Morgan sighs <08@Morgan> And go where? * Heinrich shrugs <14Heinrich> what does it matter? <08@Morgan> what about your mother? <14Heinrich> I'll send money home <08@Morgan> Dont you think you're being just a little childish? <14Heinrich> I don't want to see her with someone else <08@Morgan> Fine. Go then. <14Heinrich> with all due respect, my Lord, could you have borne to see Lady Molly in the arms of another? <08@Morgan> You've no idea how close that came to being. Clean yourself up, if you're intent on going I wont see you shamble into a new town looking like that. <14Heinrich> Then you understand how I feel? <08@Morgan> I do. <08@Morgan> but, contrary to your belief, I would have borne it <14Heinrich> I love her too much to be able to. <08@Morgan> As you wish. Would you want a letter of recommendation? * Heinrich watches him <14Heinrich> Are you truly able to gve me one, after the incident wth Baroness Eldreich? <08@Morgan> She was grieving and you were an idiot... hardly the worst crimes. * Heinrich nods * @Morgan watches him for a moment <14Heinrich> then I would be very grateful <08@Morgan> when it comes down to it, Heinrich, if the situation could be resolved, I would still trust you with that damn razor. Thats more than enough reason for a letter commending you I think <14Heinrich> I am sad to leave your service <08@Morgan> its your choice Heinrich * Heinrich nods <14Heinrich> I know <14Heinrich> But I think it'd be best for her and I if I go * @Morgan nods <08@Morgan> as you wish * Heinrich nods <14Heinrich> Shall I have my next employers write to you? <08@Morgan> That'd be best. Turning up with a letter always looks a little falsh <08@Morgan> false* * Heinrich nods <14Heinrich> Is there anything else, my Lord? <08@Morgan> No, I dont think so. Let me know how you're doing from time to time * Heinrich nods <14Heinrich> Yes, my Lord * Heinrich rises, and bows * @Morgan stands and offers his hand <14Heinrich> I hope your wedding goes well, my Lord * Heinrich shakes his hand <08@Morgan> Take care old friend * Heinrich smiles <14Heinrich> And you. * Heinrich leaves quietly * @Morgan sighs heavily
