**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Mar 15 00:00:10 2022 Mar 15 00:00:10 * Morgan nods Mar 15 00:00:17 it does Mar 15 00:00:52 * MollyK nods thoughtfully Mar 15 00:01:48 I will certainly speak to him once his letter is done, and offer to listen to his feelings Mar 15 00:01:55 * Morgan nods Mar 15 00:02:03 He will appreciate that Mar 15 00:02:37 Perhaps in that regard he will find it easier, I should imagine most men find it easier to cry to women than other men Mar 15 00:03:25 He loves you very much... Mar 15 00:03:33 * MollyK smiles Mar 15 00:03:53 That is nice. Does that please you though? Mar 15 00:04:22 * Morgan nods Mar 15 00:05:17 That is also surprising, isn't it. Twas not so long ago that even the thought of him being in the same building as me would have been unbearable for you Mar 15 00:06:38 * Morgan nods Mar 15 00:06:52 You trust him now Mar 15 00:07:34 * Morgan smiles slightly Mar 15 00:07:35 mostly Mar 15 00:07:43 Only mostly? Mar 15 00:08:08 I trusted him not to do Alice or Florrie harm... but trying to take her... I wasn't so sure Mar 15 00:09:00 I can understand a fierce desire to have her with him, that is part of having a child, I think? Mar 15 00:09:06 * Morgan nods Mar 15 00:09:50 I know he is scared of how Mina will feel about her Mar 15 00:09:57 * Morgan nods Mar 15 00:09:59 understandable Mar 15 00:10:10 * MollyK nods Mar 15 00:10:57 Even if she didn't look how she does, she would still see the combination of Edward and another woman in her face Mar 15 00:11:12 * Morgan nods Mar 15 00:11:13 indeed Mar 15 00:11:38 And Mina will find that challenging, I think Mar 15 00:11:44 * Morgan nods Mar 15 00:12:01 Something perhaps you can assist with... Mar 15 00:12:21 It is a very different circumstance though Mar 15 00:12:59 Yes it is, but I don't think she has many female friends to talk to Mar 15 00:14:09 No, of course. You are hopeful then that Alice will refuse, and then we can look at healing any rifts between Mina and Edward? Mar 15 00:14:21 * Morgan nods Mar 15 00:14:33 * MollyK nods Mar 15 00:15:22 What thinks you about what the nieblungen said about how Florrie's life might have gone otherwise? Mar 15 00:16:01 If I am honest, I don't really wish to think about it... as I said, if our pain avoids her suffering, it is a trade I make gladly Mar 15 00:16:20 * MollyK nods Mar 15 00:17:08 Alright, my love. Tomorrow we will be staying five miles from Maubourg's house. Shall we visit? Mar 15 00:17:25 * Morgan nods Mar 15 00:17:39 I think so... Edward did suggest somewhere to stay, but it eludes me right now Mar 15 00:18:09 Hafenlohr, where is former commander and his wife have their second home Mar 15 00:19:01 * Morgan nods Mar 15 00:19:02 thats it Mar 15 00:20:06 I am sure it will do us for one night. Then we are to head southwest on smaller routes to cut out a day, and be back in Sudlachenburg Mar 15 00:20:16 * Morgan nods, frowning Mar 15 00:20:52 I know it will be trying, with the news of Florrie and the Rosenkrantzs... Mar 15 00:21:52 It is the route I took when I left Mar 15 00:23:36 Oh. We could go the longer way, if we push on past Hafenlohr a few hours, and stay between Innesbruck and Sudlachenburg, we might arrive earlyish on Saturday Mar 15 00:24:22 No... I don't want... I _cant_ miss another memorial day Mar 15 00:24:33 * MollyK nods slowly Mar 15 00:24:40 It is important to you... Mar 15 00:25:06 * Morgan nods Mar 15 00:26:13 That route will be preferable in future when we are settled in Gottkirchen and you are making trips to and from Sudlachenburg frequently Mar 15 00:29:23 * Morgan nods Mar 15 00:29:25 I suppose it will Mar 15 00:31:33 * MollyK smiles, nodding to herself Mar 15 00:34:48 In three years time, I will have completed my ambassadorship. I hope we will have a house organised and set up, our overseer and sheriff in place. Varick will still be too young for an academy for a little while. I look forward to that and the freedoms it will give us Mar 15 00:35:18 * Morgan nods Mar 15 00:36:37 * MollyK smiles, taking his hand "some things will have to wait until then, but once it is done..." Mar 15 00:37:22 * Morgan nods, taking her hand and kissing her knuckles Mar 15 00:38:09 * MollyK leans against him, smiling distractedly as the ferry progresses Mar 15 00:40:48 *They travel on like this until lunch, which they eat on the deck, simple bread and cheese and apples, and Varick seems contented and interested in the scenery. His nap time comes, HH and Inga looking keen to also go for a quick rest, Claudia staying on deck. With the boy asleep above them, he and Molly have only the option of reading or taking a Mar 15 00:40:48 nap. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Mar 15 00:42:46 2022
