13[12:18am] * Molly lets Varick loose, now that it's safe to do so. Immediately he goes to Morgan.
13[12:18am] <04Molly> V: Can I hold it?
[12:19am] <08@Morgan> the rifle?
13[12:19am] <04Molly> V: *he nods eagerly*
12[12:20am] * @Morgan checks its not loaded
13[12:20am] <04Molly> **it isnt*
12[12:20am] * @Morgan hands it to the boy
[12:20am] <08@Morgan> be careful with it
13[12:21am] <04Molly> V: *he takes it, and holds it carfully in both arms* 's very big
12[12:21am] * @Morgan nods
[12:21am] <08@Morgan> that it is
13[12:22am] <04Molly> V: Does it shoot far?
[12:22am] <08@Morgan> far enough
13[12:22am] <04Molly> V: Can I fire it?
[12:23am] <08@Morgan> It'd probably knock you off your feet
13[12:23am] <04Molly> V: *he looks sad* When I'm a man?
[12:24am] <08@Morgan> you'll fire one before then, I've no doubt
13[12:24am] <04Molly> V: Will you teach me?
[12:24am] <08@Morgan> maybe
13[12:25am] <04Molly> V: *he smiles, handing it back* ok
12[12:26am] * @Morgan leans it against his shoulder
[12:26am] <08@Morgan> what did you think of Claudia?
13[12:27am] <04Molly> V: hmmmm she has lots of weapons
[12:28am] <08@Morgan> indeed she does
13[12:28am] <04Molly> V: she makes you laugh
[12:30am] <08@Morgan> yes, she does
13[12:30am] <04Molly> V: I like her
12[12:31am] * @Morgan smiles and looks to Molly
[12:31am] <08@Morgan> and you?
13[12:32am] * Molly smiles at him
13[12:32am] <04Molly> I think she's very nice
13[12:33am] * Molly looks at the rifle
13[12:33am] <04Molly> It was very generous of her to give it to you
[12:34am] <08@Morgan> yes and no
13[12:35am] * Molly looks puzzled
13[12:35am] <04Molly> Why so?
[12:35am] <08@Morgan> she doesn't really have an attachment to things given to her
13[12:36am] <04Molly> I would have suggested giving her a thankyou gift, but I wonder that it would be hard to find something useful
[12:36am] <08@Morgan> I have one in mind
13[12:37am] * Molly looks intrigued
13[12:37am] <04Molly> Oh?
[12:37am] <08@Morgan> I'm going to ask HeinzHarold to help make her one of these
12[12:37am] * @Morgan lifts his sword slightly
13[12:37am] * Molly nods
13[12:38am] <04Molly> Wasn't he going to be a blacksmith, til Lars took the position?
12[12:38am] * @Morgan nods
[12:39am] <08@Morgan> his father was a blacksmith... he was trained in it
13[12:40am] <04Molly> It'll give him something to do whilst we're on our honeymoon
12[12:40am] * @Morgan nods, smiling slightly
[12:40am] <08@Morgan> I suspect he may have other things on his mind
13[12:40am] <04Molly> Such as?
[12:40am] <08@Morgan> Inga, I think
13[12:41am] <04Molly> I suspect you might be right
13[12:42am] * Molly smiles
[12:45am] <08@Morgan> its about time, really
13[12:45am] <04Molly> For what, liebling?
[12:45am] <08@Morgan> for HeinzHarold to settle
13[12:46am] <04Molly> You think so?
12[12:46am] * @Morgan nods
[12:46am] <08@Morgan> he's a little too erratic sometimes
13[12:46am] <04Molly> Many would say the same for you
13[12:46am] * Molly grins
[12:46am] <08@Morgan> I'm erratic whatever the circumstances...
13[12:47am] * Molly smiles
13[12:47am] <04Molly> perhaps a little
[12:47am] <08@Morgan> you can see it in peoples faces... that worry because they dont know what I'll do
13[12:48am] * Molly looks at him solemenly
13[12:48am] <04Molly> Do you ever see it in mine?
[12:48am] <08@Morgan> once or twice
13[12:48am] * Molly frowns slightly
13[12:49am] <04Molly> I sometimes don't know what you'll do, but I don't worry
[12:50am] <08@Morgan> good
13[12:50am] * Molly smiles
13[12:50am] <04Molly> I trust you implicitly
12[12:51am] * @Morgan nods
[12:51am] <08@Morgan> its means much to me blossom
13[12:52am] * Molly looks at him a moment longer than is normal, then looks at Varick, blushing a little
13[12:52am] <04Molly> Lunch now, Mauschen?
13[12:53am] <04Molly> V: *he nods* Yes please, I'm starving!

13[11:37pm] <04Molly> **they walk back to the house, just in time to find almost everyone settling for lunch. There is no sign of alarice, holzheim or adalbreacht. The room is full of chatter and pleasentaries, and a small table to one side is completely empty. The lunch is laid out buffet style on a trestle table against the wall.
12[11:40pm] * @Morgan places the gun out of sight and heads to get some food

13[11:48pm] * Jarvie comes over to him, talking surprisingly discretely
13[11:48pm] <04Jarvie> Have you seen my sister?
[11:49pm] <08@Morgan> blonde girl, flighty?
13[11:49pm] * Jarvie rolls her eyes
13[11:49pm] <04Jarvie> Have you seen her today?
12[11:50pm] * @Morgan shakes his head
13[11:50pm] <04Jarvie> Nor has anyone else I've asked
12[11:51pm] * @Morgan looks at her for a moment
[11:51pm] <08@Morgan> my father summoned her this morning... I heard them rowing as I left the house
13[11:51pm] * Jarvie nods, picking up a sandwich
13[11:51pm] <04Jarvie> I haven't seen him either
[11:52pm] <08@Morgan> no, I'd noticed he wasn't here
13[11:53pm] <04Jarvie> Everyone else is though
[11:53pm] <08@Morgan> barring Holzheim
13[11:54pm] * Jarvie picks up a few things
13[11:54pm] <04Jarvie> Oh, I hadn;t really noticed
12[11:54pm] * @Morgan narrows his eyes
13[11:55pm] <04Jarvie> What's she in trouble for this time?
[11:56pm] <08@Morgan> Whats she always in trouble for
13[11:57pm] * Jarvie grins
13[11:57pm] <04Jarvie> Mis-adventure
[11:57pm] <08@Morgan> quite
13[11:57pm] <04Jarvie> Who?
[11:58pm] <08@Morgan> thats between her and the Graf
Session Time: Thu Jun 09 00:00:01 2011
13[12:00am] * Jarvie smiles
13[12:00am] <04Jarvie> We'll see
[12:02am] <08@Morgan> though I understand that Holzheim isn't in fact to wed her
13[12:02am] * Jarvie looks surprised
13[12:03am] <04Jarvie> Is he not?
[12:03am] <08@Morgan> no... so you needn't worry about the law of affinity
12[12:03am] * @Morgan watches her carefully
13[12:03am] * Jarvie freezes, looking at him. Her voice lowers, a rushed whisper
13[12:03am] <04Jarvie> where did you hear that?
12[12:04am] * @Morgan shrugs slightly
[12:04am] <08@Morgan> nowhere
13[12:04am] * Jarvie shakes her head
13[12:04am] <04Jarvie> No, I know you too well. You wouldn't make such a statement without being sure.
12[12:04am] * @Morgan shrugs again
[12:05am] <08@Morgan> you give me too much credit, I think. I'm just as able to resort to guesswork as anyone else
13[12:05am] * Jarvie shakes her head
13[12:06am] <04Jarvie> Too co-incidental, given that I spoke to him about it just this morning, and no mention of it has been had apart from that
12[12:07am] * @Morgan shrugs
13[12:07am] <04Jarvie> What has he told you?
[12:08am] <08@Morgan> nothing
13[12:10am] <04Jarvie> Well, it was a long time ago, and not anyone elses business.
[12:10am] <08@Morgan> unless she tried to marry him
13[12:12am] <04Jarvie> I've tried to persuade her not to
[12:13am] <08@Morgan> well, apparently that was never her intention
13[12:13am] <04Jarvie> No?
12[12:14am] * @Morgan shakes his head
13[12:14am] <04Jarvie> I thought she seemed a little vague
12[12:15am] * @Morgan nods
13[12:17am] <04Jarvie> Does he know?
[12:18am] <08@Morgan> I think so, but I'm not certain
13[12:18am] * Jarvie nods
13[12:18am] <04Jarvie> I hope this will not become a subject of gossip
[12:19am] <08@Morgan> Which bit?
13[12:19am] <04Jarvie> Any of it
[12:20am] <08@Morgan> fingers crossed... only a small selection of people know either bit, and I _think_ only I know all of it
13[12:21am] <04Jarvie> And we can keep it that way? I value my privacy, and my freedom.
[12:22am] <08@Morgan> There's no need to wheedle it from me, Jarvie.
13[12:22am] * Jarvie nods slightly
13[12:23am] <04Jarvie> I thought you'd understand
12[12:23am] * @Morgan shrugs
[12:26am] <08@Morgan> I wish I'd understood sooner
13[12:26am] <04Jarvie> I'd have stayed away from the wedding
12[12:27am] * @Morgan shrugs again
[12:27am] <08@Morgan> It wasn't going that way
13[12:28am] <04Jarvie> It isn't as if it was a long romance. My life is... different to the life here in Sudlachenburg
12[12:29am] * @Morgan raises an eyebrow
[12:29am] <08@Morgan> are you... _justifying_ yourself to me?
13[12:30am] * Jarvie nods
13[12:30am] <04Jarvie> I think so
[12:30am] <08@Morgan> Dont. You've got no need to
13[12:30am] * Jarvie frowns
13[12:31am] <04Jarvie> I don't want you to think I am like she is
[12:31am] <08@Morgan> blonde and flighty? Not likely
13[12:32am] * Jarvie smiles
13[12:32am] <04Jarvie> thank you
12[12:34am] * @Morgan shrugs
[12:34am] <08@Morgan> you've naught to thank me for
13[12:35am] * Jarvie eats a sandwich
13[12:35am] <04Jarvie> Where have you been all morning?
[12:35am] <08@Morgan> visiting a friend
13[12:36am] * Jarvie smiles
13[12:36am] <04Jarvie> None of mine are here
[12:36am] <08@Morgan> thanks
13[12:36am] <04Jarvie> You're kin, that's different
12[12:37am] * @Morgan shrugs slightly
[12:37am] <08@Morgan> I suppose I should try to make sure noones been killed
13[12:37am] * Jarvie nods
13[12:37am] <04Jarvie> Perhaps
[12:38am] <08@Morgan> I do so love this amount of conflict
13[12:38am] <04Jarvie> No rest for the wicked
12[12:39am] * @Morgan nods
[12:39am] <08@Morgan> would you stay with Molly and Varick?
13[12:39am] * Jarvie looks confused
13[12:39am] <04Jarvie> why?
12[12:39am] * @Morgan looks at her solemnly
[12:39am] <08@Morgan> because I asked you to
13[12:40am] * Jarvie nods just as solemnly, then fills her plate high rapidly
13[12:40am] <04Jarvie> Of course
[12:41am] <08@Morgan> thank you
12[12:41am] * @Morgan wanders to Molly
[12:41am] <08@Morgan> I'm going to find my father, I shouldn't be long
13[12:42am] <04Jarvie> *she nods with an affectionate smile* Alright, liebling
12[12:42am] * @Morgan turns and heads from the room
