12[12:58am] * @Morgan heads into the vault to get his sword
13[12:59am] <04Adalbrecht> **it's still in there
12[12:59am] * @Morgan straps it on before locking the vault and heading to Varicks room
08[1:00am] [1:00am] Adalbrecht (~ident@host109-156-227-41.range109-156.btcentralplus.com) is now known as Varick
13[1:00am] * Varick is in his room, drawing
[1:00am] <08@Morgan> now then, young man
13[1:02am] * Varick looks up with a grin
13[1:02am] <04Varick> Morgan!
13[1:07am] * Varick holds up his drawing
13[1:13am] <04Varick> look
[1:15am] <08@Morgan> you've been a busy beaver
13[1:17am] <04Varick> *It's a picture of die dauerhaftigkeit, vaguely. The sun is shining, and the house looks to be smiling
[1:18am] <08@Morgan> impressive... who's it for?
13[1:28am] * Varick shrugs
13[1:28am] <04Varick> Can have it if you want it. Got lots.
[1:29am] <08@Morgan> I'd like to put it up on my ship
13[1:30am] * Varick nods grinning
13[1:30am] <04Varick> I can put it up there?
[1:31am] <08@Morgan> there's an office on the ship thats mine, I'd like to have it on the wall there if thats ok
13[1:32am] <04Varick> Will you show me where to put it?
[1:33am] <08@Morgan> when we're aboard it, yes
13[1:35am] * Varick nods
13[1:35am] <04Varick> Can you draw it for me?
[1:36am] <08@Morgan> I cant really draw, Varick
13[1:36am] <04Varick> Oh. Did it cost lots of money?
13[1:36am] * Varick starts to draw on a new sheet of paper
12[1:36am] * @Morgan goes to the table and sketches out the rose
[1:37am] <08@Morgan> it was given to Molly... and she gave it to me
13[1:37am] * Varick looks at what he's drawing
13[1:37am] <04Varick> Why has it got so many sails?
[1:38am] <08@Morgan> to catch more wind
13[1:38am] <04Varick> So it goes fast?
12[1:38am] * @Morgan nods, smiling
[1:38am] <08@Morgan> very
13[1:38am] <04Varick> Does it make you feel sick?
13[1:39am] * Varick stands next to Morgan, leaning on him slightly
[1:39am] <08@Morgan> It doesn't me... some people get sick though
13[1:40am] <04Varick> will I?
[1:40am] <08@Morgan> I dont know, Varick... its hard to say
13[1:41am] * Varick nods
13[1:41am] <04Varick> Molly will make me better
12[1:42am] * @Morgan nods
[1:42am] <08@Morgan> she has that effect
13[1:43am] * Varick nods
13[1:43am] <04Varick> I* miss her
[1:43am] <08@Morgan> You'll see her soon
13[1:44am] * Varick nods
13[1:44am] <04Varick> Spose so. When is everyone going home?
[1:44am] <08@Morgan> not long now, Varick
13[1:45am] * Varick smiles
13[1:45am] <04Varick> Good. Do I have to stay here all day?
[1:45am] <08@Morgan> No... I thought, since we're spending tonight together, we could spend today together as well
[1:46am] <08@Morgan> what do you thinkl?
13[1:47am] <04Varick> Yay!
13[1:47am] * Varick jumps on Morgan, throwing his arms around his neck
13[1:50am] <04Varick> What are we going to do?
[1:51am] <08@Morgan> well... I want to introduce Molly to a friend of mine
13[1:52am] <04Varick> Molly's coming too?!?
[1:52am] <08@Morgan> thats what I had in mind... we'll need to ask her, of course
13[1:53am] <04Varick> Can we ask her now? (it's about 8am)
[1:53am] <08@Morgan> I would think she'll be awake by now...
13[1:54am] * Varick grins, letting go
13[1:54am] <04Varick> Let's go
12[1:54am] * @Morgan stands up and heads for the door
13[1:55am] * Varick follows him like a puppy
12[1:57am] * @Morgan heads to Mollys room
13[1:58am] * Varick bounces along beside him
13[1:58am] <04Varick> Can we have breakfast with her?
[1:58am] <08@Morgan> I expect so...
13[1:59am] * Varick nods, going on ahead
[2:01am] <08@Morgan> dont barge in, Varick, remember to knock
13[2:03am] * Varick knocks, listens til he hears her call, and then opens the door. He disappears in
12[2:05am] * @Morgan wanders to the door
13[2:07am] * Varick goes into her antechamber, then through the open door to her bedroom.
13[2:08am] <04Varick> Mol: *she laughs* well good morning Mauschen, I thought you were the maid!
13[2:08am] <04Varick> Just me, not a maid. Can't do hair.
13[2:09am] <04Varick> Mol: *she laughs again* Have you run away from the nursery?
[2:09am] <08@Morgan> I've stolen him for the day
13[2:12am] <04Varick> Mol: *she calls out* You can come in, liebling
12[2:12am] * @Morgan walks into the room
13[2:15am] <04Varick> Mol: *she comes out of the bedroom, carrying Varick on her hip. Her red curls cascade loosely all around her. She's barefoot but dressed. She puts him down on the couch, and goes to Morgan, kissing his cheek.* Well now, it seems I have my two favourite men in the world come to see me!
13[2:15am] * Varick wrinkles his nose, but holds his tongue
[2:15am] <08@Morgan> I wondered... if perhaps you and the young Freiarr here would care to accompany me to visit with a friend
13[2:17am] <04Varick> *she smiles at him, looking at him closely* Of course I would, liebling. Varick, could you just get my shoes please, they're in my room, the blue ones?
13[2:17am] * Varick nods, going back in
13[2:18am] <04Varick> *she looks at Morgan* Your hair looks different... *she walks round behind him, running her fingers over the tips* Sticks?
[2:18am] <08@Morgan> sticks... more... formal, I think
13[2:19am] <04Varick> Mol: Yes, I rather like it...
12[2:22am] * @Morgan smiles
[2:22am] <08@Morgan> good
13[2:22am] <04Varick> *she smiles* I look forward to taking it down
12[2:22am] * @Morgan blushes
13[2:22am] * Varick comes back in with her shoes
13[2:23am] <04Varick> Here Molly
13[2:23am] <04Varick> *she smiles at Varick
13[2:23am] <04Varick> Mol: Thank you Varick
13[2:24am] <04Varick> *she's putting her shoes on when Inga comes in. Morgan can see the posy of flowers in a jar on the table*
13[2:25am] <04Varick> Mol: Ah Inga, Morgan is taking Varick and I out, so could you just do my hair? Let's not wait for a maid.
13[2:25am] <04Varick> I: *she smiles at morgan and Varick, and goes through to the bedroom
13[2:26am] <04Varick> Mol: *she stands up in her shoes* Just be a minute, then I'll be back *she goes into the bedroom, pulling the door mostly too.
13[2:26am] * Varick sighs
13[2:26am] <04Varick> Why does it take so long for girls to get ready?
[2:27am] <08@Morgan> you'd best get used to it
[2:27am] <08@Morgan> when I was in Avalon, I knew a young lady that took three hours to get ready for dinner
13[2:28am] <04Varick> Three hours?! It'd be cold by then! Least she doesn;t take that long
[2:29am] <08@Morgan> she tended to start getting ready before dinner was served... and since she was the lady of the house, dinner wasn't served until she was ready
13[2:29am] <04Varick> Wouldn't want to be her husband
13[2:29am] * Varick swings his feet
[2:30am] <08@Morgan> I imagine it'd be very trying
13[2:31am] <04Varick> It's very boring, isnt it?
[2:32am] <08@Morgan> whats that?
13[2:32am] <04Varick> waiting for women. I'm not going to get married
[2:32am] <08@Morgan> oh you will
13[2:32am] * Varick looks at Morgan
13[2:32am] <04Varick> not ever
12[2:33am] * @Morgan smiles at him
[2:33am] <08@Morgan> we'll see
13[2:33am] * Varick nods
13[2:33am] <04Varick> We will.
13[2:36am] <04Varick> **after five minutes or so, they come back out. Inga is smirking slightly, though Molly is distracted*
13[2:37am] <04Varick> I: *she smiles cheekily at Morgan* did you sleep well?
12[2:37am] * @Morgan looks at them both, narrowing his eyes
[2:37am] <08@Morgan> for the little I slept, yes
13[2:38am] <04Varick> *they look at each other, trying not to giggle*
13[2:38am] * Varick looks at them both, puzzled
13[2:39am] <04Varick> I slept very well, and I'm hungry now
13[2:39am] <04Varick> I: *she nods* I'll go and see about breakfast then
12[2:40am] * @Morgan bows his head to Inga
13[2:41am] <04Varick> I: *she goes off*
12[2:41am] * @Morgan looks at Molly
[2:41am] <08@Morgan> problem?
13[2:42am] <04Varick> *Molly stands close beside him* She remembered switching the sheets
[2:42am] <08@Morgan> and...
13[2:43am] <04Varick> Mol: And she was curious whether it had disturbed your sleep
12[2:44am] * @Morgan frowns
[2:44am] <08@Morgan> I dont see why thats caused you an issue
13[2:44am] <04Varick> 11•12Morgan11• An issue?
12[2:47am] * @Morgan shrugs slightly
[2:47am] <08@Morgan> we're wanted at all meals today
13[2:47am] <04Varick> mol: in that case, we should follow inga
12[2:48am] * @Morgan sighs, nodding
[2:48am] <08@Morgan> come on Varick
13[2:48am] <04Varick> Mol: you'd rather not?
13[2:49am] * Varick gets up, trotting from the room
[2:49am] <08@Morgan> no no, its fine
13[2:49am] <04Varick> What else _must_ we do today?
[2:50am] <08@Morgan> not a great deal apparently
13[2:53am] * Molly smiles, pulling her door closed as they leave. Varick is still in sight, but not earshot
13[2:54am] <04Molly> Morgan, what do you know about the Laws of Affinity?
12[2:55am] * @Morgan shrugs slightly
13[2:58am] <04Molly> I was hoping you'd know
[2:59am] <08@Morgan> why?
13[3:00am] <04Molly> Inga overheard a conversation whilst she was downstairs... something to do with having to make an objection when asked based on the Laws of Affinity
[3:01am] <08@Morgan> well... I'm not... sure
13[3:05am] <04Molly> I've not heard of it before... but I'm concerned that 'an objection when asked' may refer to the part in our ceremony...
13[3:06am] * Molly chews her lip as they get to the staircase
[3:11am] <08@Morgan> if I remember rightly... its something to do... with relationships with... other family members
13[3:12am] * Molly frowns
13[3:12am] <04Molly> Well I have only brothers, and I've never met Edward...
12[3:13am] * @Morgan slows down, thinking
[3:14am] <08@Morgan> no... no, its something about... carnal relationships...
13[3:14am] * Molly blushes
13[3:15am] <04Molly> Again though, I have no sisters you could have met, and I have never met your brother, so it would be impossible for us to have sullied our marriage that way
[3:15am] <08@Morgan> no... I think I've put the cat amongst the pigeons
13[3:16am] <04Molly> Really, why?
[3:16am] <08@Morgan> well, we believed another wedding was in the offing...
13[3:16am] * Molly nods
13[3:16am] <04Molly> Alarice and Holzheim, yes
12[3:17am] * @Morgan nods slowly
[3:17am] <08@Morgan> Alarice has a sister...
13[3:17am] * Molly looks shocked
13[3:17am] <04Molly> You think that-... Oh my!
[3:18am] <08@Morgan> I wouldn't guarantee it, but I wont be surprised if thats the case...
13[3:18am] <04Molly> But Jarvie doesn't seem like the sort that would
12[3:18am] * @Morgan smirks slightly
[3:18am] <08@Morgan> remember to ask her...
13[3:19am] * Molly nods
13[3:19am] <04Molly> You wish me to find out whether your hunch is right?
[3:19am] <08@Morgan> if you can without giving too much away... I was referring mostly to the other question you ahve for her
13[3:21am] * Molly bites her lip
13[3:21am] <04Molly> I'm a little less nervous today
[3:21am] <08@Morgan> oh?
13[3:22am] <04Molly> My mind explored the situation whilst I slept
[3:22am] <08@Morgan> I dont understand
13[3:23am] <04Molly> My dreams were quite detailed... and I possesed the ability to control them to a degree
12[3:24am] * @Morgan looks confused
[3:24am] <08@Morgan> I see
13[3:25am] <04Molly> Do you? your expression says otherwise
[3:25am] <08@Morgan> well... no, not really
13[3:27am] <04Molly> I think we can leave it at 'I had some rather detailed dreams about what is to take place'
12[3:28am] * @Morgan nods
13[3:28am] * Molly smiles
13[3:28am] <04Molly> But I'll try and speak to Jarvie later
12[3:29am] * @Morgan nods
[3:29am] <08@Morgan> if you wihs to
13[3:30am] <04Molly> I'd like to get to the bottom of this Affinity problem, and ensure we arent to expect any further disruption
12[3:30am] * @Morgan nods slowly
[3:30am] <08@Morgan> I dont think it relates to us at all
13[3:32am] <04Molly> I hope not, we have enough problems as it is!
12[3:33am] * @Morgan shrugs slightly
[3:33am] <08@Morgan> I invited Claudia to the wedding
13[3:34am] * Molly smiles
13[3:34am] <04Molly> That should be enough to keep many people in line?
[3:34am] <08@Morgan> anyone who's even heard of her... though I'm not sure if her reputation is worse than mine yet
13[3:35am] <04Molly> Yours is changing I think
12[3:36am] * @Morgan nods
[3:36am] <08@Morgan> I'm not entirely sure thats good
13[3:37am] <04Molly> No? Why not?
[3:37am] <08@Morgan> I'm used to having the reputation of someone who takes decisive action
13[3:38am] <04Molly> Oh I don't think that's changed, just that you are seen as more rational and approachable
12[3:38am] * @Morgan shrugs
[3:38am] <08@Morgan> Claudia says I'm pigheaded
13[3:39am] * Molly bites her lip
13[3:39am] <04Molly> Certain in your convictions, maybe
12[3:39am] * @Morgan shrugs
[3:39am] <08@Morgan> pigheaded like my father... apparently
13[3:39am] <04Molly> Oh dear, I doubt he'd like that
[3:40am] <08@Morgan> probably not
13[3:40am] <04Molly> maybe it'd be best not to mention it
[3:41am] <08@Morgan> he wouldn't do anything... I think he's more than a little wary of Claudia
13[3:42am] <04Molly> for good reason?
[3:42am] <08@Morgan> I wouldn't care to go blow for blow with her
13[3:43am] * Molly looks to him
13[3:43am] <04Molly> In that case, I think he has good reason
12[3:46am] * @Morgan nods solemnly
13[3:47am] <04Molly> **they get to the breakfast room just after Varick. Apart from the servants, it's empty
12[3:50am] * @Morgan wanders round the room, carefully selecting a seat
13[3:51am] * Molly sits beside him, Varick on the other side

13[11:16pm] * Molly and Varick eat their breakfasts quietly. It's nice, just being the three of them
12[11:20pm] * @Morgan drinks his coffee, waiting for Molly and Varick to finish
13[11:23pm] <04Molly> *they do. Molly asks a maid to put a few things together incase Varick gets hungry on the visit. Varick watches Morgan
13[11:23pm] <04Molly> V: why do grown ups like coffee?
12[11:23pm] * @Morgan shrugs slightly
[11:23pm] <08@Morgan> I cant answer that for all grown ups... all I can say is that I like the flavour
13[11:24pm] <04Molly> V: what does it taste like?
[11:24pm] <08@Morgan> coffee
13[11:25pm] <04Molly> but what does 'coffee' taste of?
13[11:25pm] <04Molly> ((+V:))
12[11:25pm] * @Morgan thinks
[11:25pm] <08@Morgan> what does a strawberry taste like?
13[11:26pm] <04Molly> V: Nice. Red. Sweet.
[11:26pm] <08@Morgan> those aren't flavours, Varick, they're descriptions
13[11:27pm] <04Molly> V: If you let me try it, then I'll know
13[11:27pm] <04Molly> *he looks hopeful*
[11:27pm] <08@Morgan> You like sweet things?
13[11:27pm] <04Molly> *he nods*
[11:28pm] <08@Morgan> this isn't sweet... its really quite bitter
13[11:29pm] <04Molly> V: I might like it
12[11:29pm] * @Morgan shrugs
[11:29pm] <08@Morgan> you can have a sip
13[11:29pm] <04Molly> V: *he gets up, and goes to Morgan*
12[11:30pm] * @Morgan holds the cup for him
13[11:31pm] <04Molly> V: *he takes a sip, and makes a face* Yuck.
13[11:31pm] * Molly comes back with a smile
[11:31pm] <08@Morgan> quite
13[11:31pm] <04Molly> Tea is much better for you, young man
12[11:32pm] * @Morgan nods
[11:32pm] <08@Morgan> its not so bitter, either
13[11:33pm] * Molly nods.
13[11:33pm] <04Molly> V: Coffee is horrible
[11:36pm] <08@Morgan> you might change your mind as you grow older
13[11:38pm] <04Molly> V: *he shakes his head* I'm stubborn like you
[11:39pm] <08@Morgan> I'm not stubborn, Varick, I'm strong willed
13[11:39pm] <04Molly> V: I'm the same as you.
13[11:40pm] * Molly smiles at Morgan
[11:40pm] <08@Morgan> Then you may well come to like it... I didn't like it when I was younger
13[11:40pm] <04Molly> V: *he nods* Are we going now?
12[11:41pm] * @Morgan nods
[11:41pm] <08@Morgan> if Molly's ready
13[11:42pm] * Molly nods, taking up a bag from the maid
12[11:45pm] * @Morgan finishes the coffee and stands up
13[11:46pm] <04Molly> V: *he stands beside Morgan* Are we walking?
12[11:47pm] * @Morgan thinks for a moment
[11:47pm] <08@Morgan> I think so, yes
13[11:49pm] <04Molly> V: is it in the village?
12[11:49pm] * @Morgan nods
13[11:50pm] <04Molly> V: will there be other children there?
13[11:51pm] * Molly brings up the rear as they leave the breakfast room for the from doors
[11:51pm] <08@Morgan> possibly, possibly
13[11:56pm] * Molly looks to Morgan
13[11:56pm] <04Molly> Where _are_ we going?
12[11:57pm] * @Morgan looks at her, confused
13[11:57pm] <04Molly> You didn't actually tell me
13[11:57pm] * Molly smiles
12[11:58pm] * @Morgan nods
[11:58pm] <08@Morgan> I was thinking we could visit a friend
13[11:59pm] <04Molly> Anyone in particular?
13[11:59pm] * Molly , varick and morgan get outside, and start to round the building
12[11:59pm] * @Morgan shrugs
Session Time: Tue May 31 00:00:08 2011
[12:00am] <08@Morgan> someone you probably dont want to meet
13[12:01am] * Molly nods
13[12:01am] <04Molly> As you wish, liebling
13[12:01am] <04Molly> *Varick stops, head tilted towards the building.*
13[12:01am] <04Molly> V: I can hear shouting
12[12:01am] * @Morgan stops to listen
13[12:04am] <04Molly> **Adalbrecht is definitely raising his voice. the study is half a floor about them, but its not enough to hear the words
12[12:04am] * @Morgan sighs
13[12:05am] * Molly looks at him questioningly
[12:05am] <08@Morgan> come on, I'm sure its fine
13[12:05am] <04Molly> V: *he shrugs* glad its not me. dont like it in there.
[12:06am] <08@Morgan> in the Grafs study?
13[12:06am] <04Molly> V: *he nods*
12[12:06am] * @Morgan nods and starts walking
13[12:13am] * Molly and Varick follow. Before long, Varick is starting to run ahead, then come back to them, almost like a sheep dog
13[12:18am] * Molly waits til the boy is out of earshot
13[12:18am] <04Molly> Was your father shouting at Alarice?
12[12:19am] * @Morgan nods
[12:19am] <08@Morgan> I suspect so
[12:19am] <08@Morgan> my conversation with him this morning wasn't entirely cordial
13[12:19am] <04Molly> No?
[12:19am] <08@Morgan> no
13[12:20am] * Molly walks at his side through the pathway which meanders through the trees
13[12:20am] <04Molly> I hope there is no disharmony between you?
12[12:20am] * @Morgan shrugs
[12:22am] <08@Morgan> it calmed down a little once I shouted at him for a bit
13[12:23am] <04Molly> You shouted-... *Varick comes back, hands her a acorn, then runs off again* -at him?
12[12:24am] * @Morgan nods
[12:26am] <08@Morgan> oh yes
13[12:28am] * Molly frowns
13[12:28am] <04Molly> I'm sorry it came to that
12[12:28am] * @Morgan shrugs
13[12:30am] <04Molly> I know you do not raise your voice without good cause
13[12:30am] * Molly waves back at Varick when he waves at them from a distance
[12:31am] <08@Morgan> it needed doing... I was really rather angry with him
13[12:31am] * Molly looks worried
13[12:31am] <04Molly> Would you prefer not to tell me why, liebes herz?
12[12:32am] * @Morgan shrugs
[12:32am] <08@Morgan> before I came back, he discussed the idea of my marrying Alarice with her... and it seemed to get lodged in her head that thats his preferred outcome even now
13[12:33am] * Molly bites her lower lip
13[12:33am] <04Molly> Is it?
[12:33am] <08@Morgan> no, of course not
13[12:33am] * Molly smiles
13[12:34am] <04Molly> Good. I wouldn't let you go based on such a reason anyway.
[12:34am] <08@Morgan> no?
13[12:35am] * Molly shakes her head
13[12:35am] <04Molly> I'd only let you go if it was _your_ preferred option.
12[12:35am] * @Morgan nods
13[12:37am] <04Molly> Had your father not made it clear to her that it would not be the case now?
[12:37am] <08@Morgan> apparently not
13[12:37am] * Molly shrugs
13[12:38am] <04Molly> Many would say that planning, preparing and hosting our union would be enough to make anyone with a little common sense see his preference
[12:39am] <08@Morgan> clarity of thought isn't her strong point, it seems
13[12:40am] * Molly nods slightly
13[12:40am] <04Molly> It could be seen that way, yes
13[12:41am] <04Molly> V: *he brings her a yellow flower, then goes again*
13[12:41am] <04Molly> You blamed your father for not being clearer?
[12:42am] <08@Morgan> for planting the idea in the first place
13[12:42am] <04Molly> But that was before he knew your plans differed?
12[12:43am] * @Morgan shrugs
[12:43am] <08@Morgan> thats not the point
13[12:43am] <04Molly> I'd imagine he has definitely set her straight now
[12:44am] <08@Morgan> it sounded that way
13[12:44am] * Molly nods
13[12:45am] <04Molly> This has been very complicated, hasn't it?
[12:45am] <08@Morgan> isn't it always
13[12:45am] * Molly smiles
13[12:45am] <04Molly> Maybe we should have just asked Sigfried
12[12:46am] * @Morgan laughs
[12:46am] <08@Morgan> I can imagine that would've gone down well
13[12:47am] <04Molly> If we had arrived aboard the Rose, already wed, there is little that could have been done
[12:47am] <08@Morgan> I couldn't do that to them again
13[12:48am] * Molly becomes solemn
13[12:48am] <04Molly> I did not think of it like that
13[12:49am] <04Molly> V*he calls out from the tree line* Morgan, look what I found!
12[12:50am] * @Morgan walks to Varick
13[12:50am] <04Molly> V: *he's pointing at a slowworm in the grass* It's a snake!
12[12:50am] * @Morgan looks at it for a moment
[12:50am] <08@Morgan> no... no, its a slowworm
13[12:51am] <04Molly> V: whats the difference?
[12:52am] <08@Morgan> its not a snake, thats the difference
13[12:52am] <04Molly> V: looks quite fast for a worm.
12[12:53am] * @Morgan bends down and picks it up
13[12:53am] <04Molly> V: *he watches with the eager fascination that is best embodied by small boys* Look at its eyes!
[12:55am] <08@Morgan> you wait until it sticks its tongue out
13[12:56am] <04Molly> V: *he leans in, looking closely, until the thin black tongue flicks out* Wow, that is really weird!
12[12:57am] * @Morgan chuckles
13[12:57am] <04Molly> V: will it bite you? snake bites are poisionous
[12:58am] <08@Morgan> snakes are venomous, Varick, not poisonous, and no, a slowworm wont bite
13[12:59am] <04Molly> V: Why not?
[12:59am] <08@Morgan> it has no teeth
13[1:00am] <04Molly> V: *he looks really closely* Not even little ones?
[1:00am] <08@Morgan> not even
13[1:01am] <04Molly> V: Can I touch it?
[1:01am] <08@Morgan> if you want...
13[1:02am] <04Molly> V: *he does, stroking it gently* Hey wormey...
12[1:03am] * @Morgan suppresses a chuckle
13[1:03am] <04Molly> V: *he looks around* where are its family?
[1:03am] <08@Morgan> they live alone mostly Varick
13[1:04am] <04Molly> V: *he shakes his head* It would be lonely
[1:04am] <08@Morgan> they're used to it, I think
13[1:04am] <04Molly> V: Better to have a family
12[1:04am] * @Morgan nods solemnly
13[1:05am] <04Molly> V: *he looks at Morgan* Can he be in our family?
[1:05am] <08@Morgan> you want to keep a slowworm?
13[1:05am] <04Molly> V: Don't want him to be alone
13[1:06am] * Molly watches them quietly from a distance
[1:06am] <08@Morgan> We've got nowhere to keep him, Varick... and your mother probably wouldn't like having him
13[1:08am] <04Molly> V: *he sighs* Ok Morgan. *he looks to the slowworm* Wormey, you should find a family of worms, and live with them. You'll be happy with a family that loves you.
12[1:08am] * @Morgan crouches down
[1:09am] <08@Morgan> he'll be happier with all this space to play, dont you think?
13[1:09am] <04Molly> V: *he shrugs* Playing alone isn;t very fun
[1:11am] <08@Morgan> he's not alone... he's got bugs and snails and spiders to play with
13[1:13am] <04Molly> V: *he nods* that'd be ok
[1:14am] <08@Morgan> you want to put him back?
13[1:14am] <04Molly> V: *he nods*
12[1:14am] * @Morgan holds the worm out to Varick
13[1:15am] <04Molly> V: *he takes it carefully. He whispers something to it, before putting it down in the grass. It wriggles away*
13[1:16am] <04Molly> V: Bye wormey
12[1:16am] * @Morgan stands up, patting Varick on the shoulder gently
13[1:19am] <04Molly> V: *he hugs Morgan's leg*
13[1:20am] <04Molly> V: will wormey be happy?
[1:21am] <08@Morgan> I think he will, Varick
13[1:21am] <04Molly> V: will we all be happy?
[1:21am] <08@Morgan> that I cant answer
13[1:22am] <04Molly> V: Grown ups know everything
[1:23am] <08@Morgan> No, we dont... a lot, maybe, but not everything
13[1:23am] <04Molly> V: *he nods* ok
13[1:25am] <04Molly> **they set off back down the path. before long, they get near claudias house
