**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Mar 15 00:42:46 2022 Mar 15 00:42:54 test test Mar 15 00:47:45 * MollyK has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Mar 15 16:58:40 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Mar 15 16:59:54 * MollyK gets settled on one of the narrow beds [would you prefer to nap or read?] Mar 15 17:01:50 [I was thinking I might speak to Claudia, if you are alright with that?] Mar 15 17:02:24 [of course, my love] Mar 15 17:02:45 * Morgan nods, kissing her cheek before going in search of Claudia Mar 15 17:04:50 * MollyK is now known as Claudia Mar 15 17:05:07 * Claudia is up on deck Mar 15 17:07:19 * Claudia is watching the horizon, the wide river shiny and quite smooth Mar 15 17:12:08 How you doing? Mar 15 17:12:46 I'm fine. You? Mar 15 17:14:42 more or less Mar 15 17:15:34 * Claudia offers him her flask of scotch Mar 15 17:15:55 What's the less? Mar 15 17:16:24 nightmares, Edward being stubborn... concerned about you Mar 15 17:17:19 First two are same shit different day. Why are you concerned about me? Mar 15 17:19:49 We haven't had time to catch up, I worry Mar 15 17:20:57 I'm okay, better than I was at Insel. Mar 15 17:21:53 * Morgan nods Mar 15 17:24:33 You looking forward to being back in Sudlachenburg? Mar 15 17:25:10 Yes and no Mar 15 17:25:49 * Claudia watches him, opening the flask and waiting for him to elaborate Mar 15 17:26:26 No matter what happens with Edward and Alice, my father is going to lose his fucking mind Mar 15 17:26:49 * Claudia nods Mar 15 17:27:01 Edward is going to be on his shit list for sure Mar 15 17:27:19 * Morgan nods Mar 15 17:27:31 Can you imagine how they're going to react when they see her? Mar 15 17:27:56 * Claudia nods "gonna be upset" Mar 15 17:29:22 * Morgan nods Mar 15 17:31:54 Are you going to make them hold off on that til you get back in the spring? Mar 15 17:32:59 I think its probably wise... need to wring an agreement out of father before I let that happen, too Mar 15 17:33:29 Good luck with that. What sort of agreement? Mar 15 17:35:56 That he won't try to force Alice to do anything or, particularly, won't try to take Florrie from her Mar 15 17:36:21 What are you bargaining with? Mar 15 17:36:41 * Morgan smiles slightly Mar 15 17:37:31 The only people who know where she is are us... If they want any hope of seeing her, they'll accept my terms... Mar 15 17:37:54 Sounds like you're going to be on the shit list too Mar 15 17:38:04 * Morgan shrugs Mar 15 17:38:20 Been there before... if it keeps her safe, I'll accept being there again Mar 15 17:39:17 He's going to want her in Sudlachenburg Mar 15 17:39:53 Who? Mar 15 17:40:10 Your Father Mar 15 17:40:27 Unless thats where Alice wants her to be, thats just tough Mar 15 17:41:03 Would be tough on you, seeing her in Sudlachenburg Mar 15 17:42:32 Don't think I'm really going to be around much Mar 15 17:43:04 Might be best Mar 15 17:43:44 Not really wanted there anyway Mar 15 17:44:46 Not needed yet Mar 15 17:45:37 * Morgan shrugs Mar 15 17:45:40 how was the other night? Mar 15 17:45:59 When? Mar 15 17:50:37 Your night off Mar 15 17:50:51 Fine until I smacked him. Mar 15 17:53:41 * Morgan nods Mar 15 17:53:47 Thats progress though... Mar 15 17:54:23 * Claudia nods, sipping the scotch Mar 15 17:54:42 I didn't gut him at least Mar 15 17:55:12 * Morgan nods Mar 15 17:55:17 that would've been inconvenient Mar 15 17:56:04 * Claudia nods Mar 15 17:56:17 I suppose it was nice though Mar 15 17:57:26 * Morgan nods Mar 15 17:57:27 I'm glad Mar 15 17:57:58 * Claudia nods Mar 15 17:58:20 It's been a long time since I could deal with that Mar 15 17:59:14 * Morgan nods Mar 15 17:59:19 I would imagine so Mar 15 18:01:04 * Claudia offers him the scotch Mar 15 18:01:39 Maybe in time I'll get there. It doesn't seem so impossible now. It doesn't seem repulsive. Mar 15 18:06:27 * Morgan takes it, drinking some before handing it back Mar 15 18:06:43 I know you don't generally like it but... I'm proud of you Mar 15 18:07:07 * Claudia nods Mar 15 18:07:19 It's your fault, you know? Mar 15 18:08:38 what is? Mar 15 18:09:52 When you asked me how someone can stop being so reserved after closing off... I wanted to set a good example, help you. Mar 15 18:10:16 * Morgan nods slowly Mar 15 18:10:18 I'm touched Mar 15 18:11:14 * Claudia nods Mar 15 18:11:38 Think maybe you're doing better? Mar 15 18:14:43 * Morgan nods Mar 15 18:14:47 overall, yes Mar 15 18:15:34 * Claudia smiles Mar 15 18:15:49 You deserve it Mar 15 18:15:59 Maybe Mar 15 18:16:14 She deserves it, then. Mar 15 18:16:19 * Morgan nods Mar 15 18:16:39 she does... and even if I don't feel that I do, I'm going to grab the chance with both hands Mar 15 18:25:52 * Claudia has quit (Ping Timeout) Mar 15 18:41:17 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Mar 15 18:41:26 Molly suits you, the new you. Mar 15 18:42:12 The new me? Mar 15 18:42:38 Like you've been since the fire Mar 15 18:43:49 since the fire or since I came back? Mar 15 18:44:16 Either. Mar 15 18:44:38 * MollyK is now known as Claudia Mar 15 18:47:47 * Morgan shrugs Mar 15 18:47:55 I don't think anyone suited me after the fire... Mar 15 18:48:27 At some point she must have managed to break through Mar 15 18:48:36 * Morgan nods Mar 15 18:49:01 She helped me start to change, be more open... Mar 15 18:49:30 How though? Mar 15 18:49:48 * Morgan shrugs Mar 15 18:51:28 Before the fire, I think she would have been too... spirited for you, I guess. Mar 15 18:52:02 * Morgan nods Mar 15 18:52:04 probably Mar 15 18:52:55 You'd have had rings run around you. And you'd not have been enough of a challenge Mar 15 18:53:10 challenge? You think she needs challenge? Mar 15 18:53:34 Yes, obviously! Mar 15 18:54:33 What if I stop being one? Mar 15 18:54:52 * Claudia shrugs Mar 15 18:54:58 I don't know Mar 15 18:56:39 Maybe I'm wrong, you know her better Mar 15 18:59:13 Lets be honest, I'm messed up enough to never be a simple person to deal with Mar 15 19:00:10 * Claudia nods Mar 15 19:00:16 No argument there Mar 15 19:00:33 That part of it is something I am going to choose not to worry about Mar 15 19:01:37 I wouldn't. It's gonna take something huge to pry that woman off you. Mar 15 19:02:07 * Morgan nods Mar 15 19:03:22 Let's hope that never happens, I don't envy whoever has to pick up the pieces Mar 15 19:04:18 * Morgan nods Mar 15 19:10:47 * Claudia has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Mar 15 19:46:58 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Mar 15 19:47:07 * MollyK is now known as Claudia Mar 15 19:47:54 I'm not going to spend the whole trip moping about him like you pair did with Molly and Inga Mar 15 19:48:25 I know... its not your style. Its alright to miss him though Mar 15 19:48:46 * Claudia shrugs "we'll see" Mar 15 19:49:19 You've come a long way my friend. I'm grateful you've brought me along with you Mar 15 19:49:40 * Claudia smiles slightly Mar 15 19:49:53 I'm glad you've been here Mar 15 19:50:20 * Morgan chuckles Mar 15 19:50:26 you love me... Mar 15 19:52:12 * Claudia sniffs Mar 15 19:52:20 I tolerate you Mar 15 19:52:49 No, you love me. Its my dashing good looks and sweet nature Mar 15 19:54:00 It's been a long time since I hurled off the side of a ferry Mar 15 19:54:40 Hurled myself off a ship not _that_ long ago Mar 15 19:55:56 * Claudia nods Mar 15 19:56:12 Sorgi thought you were trying to off yourself Mar 15 19:58:26 * Morgan nods Mar 15 19:58:29 I'm not surprised Mar 15 19:59:43 Scared the crap out of him Mar 15 20:00:39 He'd have been more scared if I'd exploded Mar 15 20:00:51 * Claudia laughs Mar 15 20:00:56 Good point Mar 15 20:01:32 You haven't been that bad lately. Nightmares not so bad? Mar 15 20:02:06 * Morgan shrugs Mar 15 20:02:51 I've had to have Molly try to help me a couple of times... last night, though, I didn't dare go back to sleep to start with... even in my dream I was sobbing Mar 15 20:04:23 Like the night we took Dau down? Mar 15 20:05:39 *that night, he'd dreamt of Dietlinde and their wedding, accidentally setting her alight* Mar 15 20:05:56 * Morgan nods Mar 15 20:08:01 Same again? Mar 15 20:08:58 The nightmare? Mar 15 20:10:02 Yep Mar 15 20:10:08 No, nothing like Mar 15 20:10:23 Wanna tell me? Mar 15 20:10:46 I'd rather not relive it... suffice to say I was heartbroken at my own behaviour in the dream Mar 15 20:11:09 Good you had Molly there to comfort you then Mar 15 20:11:15 * Morgan nods Mar 15 20:11:19 * Claudia hands him the flask Mar 15 20:11:31 * Morgan takes it, sipping at it before giving it back Mar 15 20:11:42 Even so, I needed some air so relieved Sorgi for the rest of his watch Mar 15 20:11:52 * Claudia nods Mar 15 20:12:11 He said you'd taken off from him Mar 15 20:12:31 No point in us both not sleeping Mar 15 20:13:00 She went back to sleep then? Mar 15 20:13:11 * Morgan nods, smiling slightly Mar 15 20:13:21 it was about half two... I told her to... Mar 15 20:13:40 * Claudia nods Mar 15 20:14:01 Probably pretty wrung out herself after that, you know what women are like Mar 15 20:14:16 * Morgan nods slowly Mar 15 20:14:20 weak willed and emotional.... Mar 15 20:14:30 * Claudia nods Mar 15 20:14:43 They can be Mar 15 20:15:08 I know, I've known you long enough Mar 15 20:15:18 * Claudia rolls her eyes Mar 15 20:15:53 Men are pretty emotional too, if you don't ignore that anger is an emotion Mar 15 20:16:06 * Morgan nods Mar 15 20:16:32 Thats the only one most are willing to show... they've got this idea that feeling anything else is weak... Mar 15 20:17:04 Angry or Randy. Those are the only two. One is more annoying than the other Mar 15 20:17:21 Funny as hell in goats though Mar 15 20:17:33 Randy goats. Mar 15 20:17:39 * Morgan nods Mar 15 20:17:59 mind you, I've seen a goat losing its temper with a gate post and try to headbutt it into submission... Mar 15 20:19:08 * Claudia laughs Mar 15 20:19:39 Maybe that's what you should do with Edward and your Father Mar 15 20:20:00 make them headbutt a post? Mar 15 20:20:25 Headbutt them Mar 15 20:21:31 * Morgan shakes his head Mar 15 20:21:52 Edwards.... accepted my conditions, though I've not given up on him being with Mina... Mar 15 20:22:48 Why do you care about them being together so much? Mar 15 20:23:33 even a blind man can see how desperately they love eachother... they suit eachother well... she deserves happiness Mar 15 20:24:06 Couldn't she find anyone more bearable? Mar 15 20:24:20 For her, thats him Mar 15 20:24:41 She's pretty, she could do better *she smirks* Mar 15 20:25:07 Thinking of a tall blonde woman with a penchant for weaponry, are you? Mar 15 20:25:32 Ugh, you mean me?! Mar 15 20:28:14 * Morgan laughs Mar 15 20:29:24 It was you that had a crush on her, not me! Mar 15 20:29:36 * Morgan nods Mar 15 20:29:42 I did... a good while ago Mar 15 20:29:57 You could have lived boringly ever after Mar 15 20:30:48 Back then, thats what I wanted Mar 15 20:31:20 But your rebellious streak took over Mar 15 20:31:31 * Morgan shrugs Mar 15 20:31:36 I don't have a rebellious streak Mar 15 20:31:55 * Claudia looks at him Mar 15 20:32:13 Either you're being sarcastic or blind Mar 15 20:33:17 Could be both Mar 15 20:35:28 Someone tells you to jump, your first response is "why should I?". Pretty sure there's no one whose commands you'd follow just because they'd told you to do something Mar 15 20:36:03 * Morgan tilts his head Mar 15 20:36:09 generally speaking, I suppose not Mar 15 20:37:56 Maybe you would have been happy enough with Mina, but I don't think _she_ would have challenged _you_ enough Mar 15 20:38:28 * Morgan shrugs Mar 15 20:38:36 Dietlinde didn't really challenge me though Mar 15 20:40:09 The situation did though, duty and love, nobles and commons. A little rebellion. Mar 15 20:41:09 * Morgan shrugs Mar 15 20:41:14 didn't think of it like that Mar 15 20:42:01 * Claudia shrugs Mar 15 20:42:14 Just a theory Mar 15 20:43:01 * Morgan nods Mar 15 20:44:37 I guess that was the problem for people our age going home. We'd gotten used to the freedom of the War, gotten smart mouths, strong opinions. Those that had homes to go back to struggled to go back to how things were Mar 15 20:44:53 * Claudia takes a mouthful of the scotch Mar 15 20:45:37 * Morgan nods Mar 15 20:45:55 it was a real culture shock... much as I'd like to say I was the same person, I wasn't Mar 15 20:47:03 You were still kinda sweet, but even those years from first meeting you to getting back to Sudlachenburg, you'd changed. Mar 15 20:47:26 * Morgan nods Mar 15 20:47:43 Heinzharold has a theory about that too Mar 15 20:48:17 oh? Mar 15 20:50:07 Kauffmann and his ilk. Shitty commanders wielding their power badly just because they could. Made you decide that anyone given that power over the lives of others needed to do the job properly, in a way that made people's lives better Mar 15 20:50:55 * Morgan tilts his head Mar 15 20:51:15 well... that would make a worrying amount of sense Mar 15 20:51:22 I disagreed with him. I don't think most of that came til later. Mar 15 20:51:38 What do you think? Mar 15 20:53:41 That it was Dietlinde. Her views, you living that life. Made you see what a Graf _should_ be doing, and it wasn't doling out kindness and the occasional pitching in with harvests, it was turning it all on its head, making the Graf a man with responsibility more than a man with power. Mar 15 20:54:36 * Morgan nods thoughtfully Mar 15 20:54:41 maybe you're both right Mar 15 20:54:50 * Claudia nods Mar 15 20:55:33 Maybe. I guess life shapes you. People around you shape you Mar 15 20:55:41 * Morgan nods Mar 15 20:55:58 Some in a more literal sense than others Mar 15 20:56:15 * Claudia laughs Mar 15 20:56:17 Like you and James Mar 15 20:56:44 I was thinking of Kauffmann, but yes Mar 15 20:57:09 There's an idea that you become more like the five people you spend the most time with Mar 15 20:57:37 * Morgan shakes his head Mar 15 20:57:52 I was never serious like my father or Edward Mar 15 20:58:43 Heinzharold senior and junior had a big influence there though, and your mother Mar 15 20:59:12 * Morgan nods Mar 15 20:59:15 I suppose so Mar 15 20:59:41 You're getting more like Heinzharold now Mar 15 21:00:48 I had noticed... though I like to think I'm getting more like I was Mar 15 21:01:02 * Claudia nods Mar 15 21:01:27 I think you're getting more rebellious too though. That's not from him Mar 15 21:02:01 * Morgan shrugs Mar 15 21:02:11 cant be _much_ more rebellious than I already was Mar 15 21:03:11 I'm not gonna be all that surprised if you tell your Father he can either toe the line or he can replace you as Veisgraf, What with you having your own Grafdom soon Mar 15 21:04:05 I'd rather not... I've worked hard to smooth things between us all Mar 15 21:05:01 Rather not... but go back to the end of the War, you wouldn't have ever dreamed of telling him to fuck off like that Mar 15 21:06:25 I'm more disturbed by the fact I would keep him from seeing his granddaughter after everything we've been through Mar 15 21:07:12 It's like you've got a guiding compass of principles, and nothing can steer you off course Mar 15 21:07:24 * Morgan shrugs Mar 15 21:07:26 maybe Mar 15 21:09:13 If anyone can drag Eisen kicking and screaming towards a better world for all, it'd be you Mar 15 21:09:43 * Morgan smiles slightly Mar 15 21:09:51 If only it'd come willingly Mar 15 21:10:01 * Claudia scoffs Mar 15 21:10:21 Not when it costs the nobility money and land. Mar 15 21:11:54 * Morgan shrugs Mar 15 21:12:11 We're accruing a... large amount of it Mar 15 21:12:22 You and Molly? Mar 15 21:12:26 * Morgan nods Mar 15 21:12:32 land, anyway Mar 15 21:12:59 Gonna be a lot of work. I don't think you could have done that even with Mina at your side Mar 15 21:13:40 * Morgan shakes his head Mar 15 21:15:09 A little wifey type wouldn't be up to this. Certainly wouldn't be up to negotiating a Grafdom and Duke and Duchess titles from a fucking Eisenfurst Mar 15 21:17:22 Hey, I negotiated the grafdom, thank you kindly. Mar 15 21:17:37 * Claudia looks surprised Mar 15 21:17:41 Did you? Mar 15 21:18:25 She raised the issue, I had to convince him Mar 15 21:18:55 You make a formidable team. I don't know which of you have bigger balls Mar 15 21:19:17 Why did that surprise you? Mar 15 21:20:07 I just thought it was all her. You seemed pretty proud of her afterwards Mar 15 21:20:37 * Morgan nods Mar 15 21:21:00 I had to convince him of my intentions with it... everything else, that was her Mar 15 21:21:43 Gottkirchen is going to be lucky to have you both Mar 15 21:22:09 I hope they see it like that Mar 15 21:23:41 Might even move there myself Mar 15 21:24:10 You think you could stay away from the sea? Mar 15 21:24:56 * Claudia nods "managed for almost six years, til you showed up again" Mar 15 21:25:51 I see... I drove you to sea... Mar 15 21:26:15 Looking forward to a few nights at the shack though Mar 15 21:27:47 oh? Mar 15 21:28:55 Everywhere is so damned loud at night. Footsteps, creaking wood, waves. When you're hyperalert to noises when you sleep, it's a godsend to have a shack like mine. The only thing stupid enough to be on my property is owls Mar 15 21:29:47 You have something of a reputation, yes... Mar 15 21:29:53 * Claudia nods Mar 15 21:30:07 Serves me well, stops people dying unnecessarily Mar 15 21:30:36 * Morgan nods Mar 15 21:31:21 can't get an owl to understand that, though... no matter how many times you tell them, Claudia needs to be avoided, she's dangerous... by the time you've finished saying it, they've forgotten the first part of the warning Mar 15 21:31:30 but instead of trying to figure it out, they just keep asking... Mar 15 21:31:57 Heads have swivelled round, information has fallen out of their ears Mar 15 21:32:21 * Claudia looks at him Mar 15 21:32:52 Are you about to make a Who joke, or do you prefer having use of your arm? Mar 15 21:42:28 I was thinking about it, yes Mar 15 21:43:30 * Claudia punches him in the arm, lightly enough that it is only mildly dead Mar 15 21:44:45 I didn't even say it Mar 15 21:45:42 I didn't even hit hard Mar 15 21:49:03 seems unfair to me Mar 15 21:49:19 Life is unfair Mar 15 21:49:47 * Morgan nods Mar 15 21:51:21 Probably going to spend a lot of Memorial Day home alone, just to forewarn you Mar 15 21:51:47 * Morgan nods Mar 15 21:52:07 Difficult people extolling the heroism of those that hurt you... Mar 15 21:53:31 That and it falls on the same day of the attack on my village and my family being killed. Mar 15 21:53:47 * Morgan nods Mar 15 21:53:52 Whatever you need Mar 15 21:54:33 * Claudia nods Mar 15 21:54:55 Better if I stay out of the way, except for the parade and church. Mar 15 21:57:16 * Morgan nods Mar 15 21:57:23 Can I come see you? Mar 15 21:57:56 I don't know. I'll consider it Mar 15 21:58:53 * Morgan nods Mar 15 21:59:08 As I said, whatever you need Mar 15 21:59:38 * Claudia nods Mar 15 22:00:02 If I was gonna allow anyone, it'd be you Mar 15 22:01:24 * Morgan nods Mar 15 22:01:29 Thanks Mar 15 22:02:17 Bit of a punch in the gut when I heard what day the truce had been. Mar 15 22:03:35 I'll bet Mar 15 22:05:28 I can still remember riding into Johstadt, part of the column taking the news. I found out on the 7th, it was the 9th I got there, remember? Mar 15 22:07:29 * Morgan nods Mar 15 22:07:30 I do Mar 15 22:09:43 We'd ridden through a couple of places, I got word that your unit was one of the last making landfall. I had nothing to go home to, but I could come to you two. Mar 15 22:09:58 * Morgan nods slowly Mar 15 22:10:11 * Claudia sips from the flask, then hands it over again Mar 15 22:10:31 Only wish I could have seen your faces the moment you heard it Mar 15 22:11:05 * Morgan sips it Mar 15 22:11:22 It was... unbelievable. I thought it was a trick to start with Mar 15 22:14:11 * Claudia has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Mar 15 22:24:45 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Mar 15 22:24:53 [22:16:08] Claudia: After everything we'd been through, it was just done. There was no huge battle at the end. Just some men signing some paper, a hundreds of thousands of corpses across the land Mar 15 22:25:36 * Morgan nods Mar 15 22:25:44 anticlimactic in many ways... Mar 15 22:25:56 * MollyK nods Mar 15 22:26:04 * MollyK is now known as Claudia Mar 15 22:28:05 I always wonder on Memorial Day if the bastards that killed my little brother and sister are in a parade somewhere, in a vaticine praying for their fallen comrades, not even able to remember two kids of many Mar 15 22:28:16 Church* Mar 15 22:31:08 with any luck they're dead Mar 15 22:32:11 That's the problem with having no closure, Sorgi says. The murderer maybe still being alive and living their life whilst the victim is gone. Mar 15 22:32:37 * Morgan nods Mar 15 22:33:58 Finding out would be too big a challenge, even for me Mar 15 22:34:50 He says you can't do anything but let it go. I won't ever know, even if the unit could be found, it would be impossible to find the specific troops, I can't avenge them. Mar 15 22:35:08 * Morgan nods Mar 15 22:37:24 A desire for vengeance where there can't be one is like having insects under your skin. Mar 15 22:37:33 * Morgan shudders Mar 15 22:39:04 Then Sorgi comes out with some vaticine horseshit about their souls being forever damned. It's like slightly less fidgety insects Mar 15 22:40:36 Fairly sure thats not just a vaticine point of view Mar 15 22:41:21 Religious platitudes have never helped Mar 15 22:41:54 You need to realise that for Sorgi, that isn't a platitude... he believes it, deeply Mar 15 22:43:28 I know. He's very faithful Mar 15 22:43:35 * Morgan nods Mar 15 22:44:59 Never thought I'd consensually do it with someone I knew was Vaticine Mar 15 22:45:26 * Morgan nods Mar 15 22:46:02 when he discovered Molly's ability, despite all he's done, protected her... I still had difficulty trusting his reaction because of that Mar 15 22:46:33 * Claudia nods Mar 15 22:46:46 The old prejudices die hard Mar 15 22:47:05 * Morgan nods Mar 15 22:47:09 they do Mar 15 22:48:01 He's a good man Mar 15 22:48:19 * Morgan nods Mar 15 22:50:12 He's healing too. Maybe we all are Mar 15 22:50:26 I think you're right Mar 15 22:51:04 Even Heinzharold Mar 15 22:51:48 * Morgan glances at her Mar 15 22:51:52 whats he healing from? Mar 15 22:52:49 Losing his Da and moving on into being a husband and one day a father... losing you too, a bit Mar 15 22:53:37 * Morgan nods Mar 15 22:54:26 We're back to how we were I think Mar 15 22:54:50 He had a sudden change, when we were on Morgan's Rock Mar 15 22:54:59 * Morgan nods Mar 15 22:55:03 we fought Mar 15 22:55:09 * Claudia nods Mar 15 22:55:19 You obviously needed it Mar 15 22:55:24 * Morgan nods Mar 15 22:57:40 You were always like the balance point for us, between my pessimism and his optimism Mar 15 22:57:58 and now? Mar 15 22:58:20 We're all changing Mar 15 22:59:46 I worry that my purpose has been rendered unneeded Mar 15 23:01:18 No, you're still the middle point, I think Mar 15 23:02:28 * Morgan nods Mar 15 23:02:53 We are better now you're back Mar 15 23:05:10 really? Mar 15 23:05:21 * Claudia nods Mar 15 23:06:14 I reckon so Mar 15 23:07:52 maybe I'm not surplus to requirements then Mar 15 23:08:27 No. You're back where you belong Mar 15 23:08:38 making trouble Mar 15 23:09:21 * Claudia nods Mar 15 23:10:55 * Claudia stands with him for quite some time, til her flask is empty. The view is nice, and it's peaceful for a few hours Mar 15 23:14:45 * Claudia has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
