**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Mar 22 00:01:05 2022 Mar 22 00:01:05 * Morgan nods, standing up Mar 22 00:01:33 * Maubourg looks relieved that they are going, and stands to bow Mar 22 00:01:55 "safe travels, your Excellencies" Mar 22 00:04:38 I'll keep in touch... we can make this smooth, secure the Grafdom's future and the happiness of our people if we work together... Mar 22 00:05:49 * Maubourg nods "that would be my preference." Mar 22 00:08:27 * Morgan inclines his head before offering his arm to Molly Mar 22 00:08:56 Perhaps you would deal with the guard on the gate... its the second time I've caught him leering at my wife... Mar 22 00:09:33 *She takes it* Mar 22 00:09:49 I will have my master-at-arms deal with it Mar 22 00:10:41 * Morgan nods Mar 22 00:10:43 thank you Mar 22 00:12:41 * Maubourg nods to the servant who shows them out, and then the groom gets their horses. The rude guard has obviously be removed somewhere because only the decent guard is there when they pass Mar 22 00:21:12 * Maubourg has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Mar 22 20:48:23 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Mar 22 20:49:26 * MollyK waits til they're off the estate and heading south towards Hafenlohr before saying "That went better than I anticipated" Mar 22 20:51:49 I was behaving Mar 22 20:53:06 * MollyK giggles Mar 22 20:53:25 You should be proud of yourself, mon petit chou Mar 22 20:54:12 * Morgan shrugs Mar 22 20:55:27 He does not seem intent on obstructing you Mar 22 20:56:18 No... I'm a little suspicious of it Mar 22 20:56:24 * MollyK nods Mar 22 20:56:52 It does rather sound as if he has other problems right now Mar 22 20:56:58 * Morgan nods Mar 22 20:57:02 being a bigot takes a lot of time Mar 22 20:58:57 * MollyK nods Mar 22 20:59:24 He has not improved a great deal, has he? Mar 22 21:01:35 He's aged like milk Mar 22 21:02:05 * MollyK smiles Mar 22 21:02:22 And his house is as appealing as it too! Mar 22 21:03:13 * Morgan nods Mar 22 21:04:48 I did try to give it a fair chance and consider what could be changed, but I just find it so unappealing Mar 22 21:05:35 His personality has even permeated the house Mar 22 21:06:53 Do you think that if he left it would be a nice enough play for us to live? Mar 22 21:09:13 I don't know... the whole place just seems so dour Mar 22 21:09:35 * MollyK nods Mar 22 21:10:14 Something we will need to look into when we return from Capperlucia, I think Mar 22 21:10:21 * Morgan nods Mar 22 21:10:23 aye Mar 22 21:10:56 * MollyK looks around, everything peaceful Mar 22 21:11:23 It shouldn't take us much above an hour to get to Hafenlohr Mar 22 21:12:18 * Morgan nods Mar 22 21:12:20 good Mar 22 21:13:57 You are missing Heinzharold, hmm? Mar 22 21:15:06 * Morgan smiles slightly Mar 22 21:15:20 I suppose so Mar 22 21:16:14 That is not why you are so eager to get there? Mar 22 21:16:41 It'll just be safer when we're all together Mar 22 21:18:14 * MollyK nods Mar 22 21:19:36 I am glad it is for safety. A lady might get a little heart sore if her husband is more keen to hurry to see his best friend than to dally along the way with her *she smiles* Mar 22 21:20:30 I think your attentiveness to Edward today would also be easier once we're actually with them... bit hard from here Mar 22 21:21:44 * MollyK bites her lower lip a moment Mar 22 21:22:06 Indeed, that would make it difficult to be close to Edward Mar 22 21:22:11 * Morgan nods Mar 22 21:22:51 Edward is far from my only concern at present though Mar 22 21:23:26 oh? Mar 22 21:24:21 I am concerned about your nightmares, they seem to be worsening again Mar 22 21:24:37 * Morgan nods Mar 22 21:24:45 Probably because of the situation with Edward Mar 22 21:24:59 * MollyK nods Mar 22 21:25:29 And him having to impart this news to your Father that he will disapprove of? Mar 22 21:26:11 I'm not planning on letting him Mar 22 21:28:04 You are not going to let Edward tell him about Florrie? Mar 22 21:29:00 I don't think it'll go well Mar 22 21:29:22 I do not think Varick can keep her existence secret Mar 22 21:29:35 No, I don't either Mar 22 21:30:14 * MollyK glances at him Mar 22 21:30:25 You are intending to tell him yourself. Mar 22 21:30:37 * Morgan nods Mar 22 21:30:51 * MollyK nods a little Mar 22 21:30:54 I see Mar 22 21:31:00 You take issue with that? Mar 22 21:31:23 I would not tell you what you must or mustn't do Mar 22 21:31:36 But you don't think I should Mar 22 21:33:23 * MollyK looks unsure Mar 22 21:33:33 I worry for the 8mpact Mar 22 21:33:58 Impact being in that position again might have upon you Mar 22 21:35:30 I'm hoping father notices how far we've come, with my defending him, protecting him Mar 22 21:35:46 I am sure he will Mar 22 21:37:32 When he realises I won't tell him where they are until he gives me the same assurances Edward did, _that_ is when I expect the real trouble to start Mar 22 21:38:52 * MollyK nods Mar 22 21:39:17 Should we anticipate not staying long in Sudlachenburg then? Mar 22 21:39:39 I'm not being driven from my home Mar 22 21:40:08 * MollyK nods Mar 22 21:40:59 I will help in whatever way you need Mar 22 21:41:16 * Morgan nods Mar 22 21:41:20 I am grateful for that, always Mar 22 21:41:58 * MollyK smiles Mar 22 21:42:07 I only wish I could do more Mar 22 21:42:49 You do plenty Mar 22 21:43:12 I am pleased you think so Mar 22 21:43:51 * Morgan nods Mar 22 21:46:14 * MollyK seems content riding along and taking in the scenery, though she looks a bit daydreamy. The weather is staying decent, and their arrival should be around half after three Mar 22 21:47:37 * Morgan keeps an eye on the road ahead and to the sides Mar 22 21:49:28 *theres nothing at all alarming. There are lots of different types of apple trees Mar 22 21:50:33 * Morgan takes the opportunity to get a few different types of apple Mar 22 21:52:01 * MollyK watches him, smiling Mar 22 21:52:15 Oh if Heinzharold could see you now... Mar 22 21:52:23 Three years and these are all my apples... Mar 22 21:52:50 * MollyK nods Mar 22 21:52:55 But not today... Mar 22 21:53:13 No... now these are definitely someone else's... Mar 22 21:53:18 * Morgan tucks them in his pockets Mar 22 21:53:20 or they were Mar 22 21:53:36 * MollyK smiles fondly Mar 22 21:53:51 I could find somewhere to secret one if you need Mar 22 21:54:10 * Morgan throws one to her Mar 22 21:54:27 * MollyK catches, almost falling off the horse Mar 22 21:55:37 *she manages to stay on, thanks to being astride and not side saddle* Whoa! That was lucky! Mar 22 21:55:46 indeed Mar 22 21:56:46 * MollyK pushes it down between her breasts Mar 22 21:58:01 * Morgan nods Mar 22 21:58:04 that'll work Mar 22 21:58:53 * MollyK nods Mar 22 21:59:03 I wonder how many would fit Mar 22 21:59:21 I wouldn't like to guess... Mar 22 21:59:55 * MollyK holds out her hand for another Mar 22 22:00:08 * Morgan takes another two to her Mar 22 22:02:15 * MollyK gets them in, but no more will fit Mar 22 22:03:04 Five of your apples... *she giggles* Mar 22 22:04:45 * Morgan snuggles, pulling himself back into the saddle and moving off Mar 22 22:05:50 *sniggers Mar 22 22:06:00 * MollyK does likewise Mar 22 22:06:11 Do you think you will like living in Gottkirchen? Mar 22 22:06:18 * Morgan shrugs Mar 22 22:06:29 providing I'm with you, I suspect I'll be happy anywhere Mar 22 22:06:37 * Morgan frowns Mar 22 22:06:48 except Vendel... or Vodacce... there _are_ limits Mar 22 22:06:53 * MollyK smiles, blushing Mar 22 22:07:16 That is very sweet.... but you would not follow me there? Mar 22 22:07:27 Only to fetch you home... Mar 22 22:07:40 * MollyK gains a look of mischief Mar 22 22:07:47 And if I would not come? Mar 22 22:07:59 well, I'd have more room in the bed Mar 22 22:08:31 A very roomy, lonely bed... Mar 22 22:08:46 * Morgan nods Mar 22 22:09:00 a shame, but a sacrifice that'd need making Mar 22 22:11:02 I am sure you would manage admirably, sharing a bed with just yourself and your dislikes Mar 22 22:11:17 * Morgan nods Mar 22 22:11:22 but at least I wouldn't be in Vodacce Mar 22 22:13:05 Where I would be, living in a secluded, sun-soaked villa with its own pool, enjoying my vineyard and the warm days and nights... Mar 22 22:15:38 well, if you insist on living in such a ridiculous country, you may as well drink their fermented vinegar Mar 22 22:16:01 * MollyK nods Mar 22 22:16:23 I would miss you, of course Mar 22 22:16:34 not enough, clearly Mar 22 22:16:54 I am sure I would think of you frequently Mar 22 22:17:10 * MollyK smiles, watching the road ahead Mar 22 22:18:32 every other evening, I expect Mar 22 22:19:09 Oh? Why would you expect so? Mar 22 22:19:26 because I know how rude your mind can be Mar 22 22:19:56 I would say every other evening would be underestimating it! Mar 22 22:20:09 oh really? Mar 22 22:20:24 * MollyK nods Mar 22 22:20:42 I would imagine it would be more like morning and evening Mar 22 22:21:09 You'd never get anything done Mar 22 22:21:42 I would only be lounging around in the sunshine, I would have nothing else to do really Mar 22 22:23:39 sounds about right for Vodacce Mar 22 22:24:36 * MollyK nods Mar 22 22:25:04 And I would have all female servants so that you could have no complaints with my never wearing clothing Mar 22 22:25:20 * Morgan raises an eyebrow Mar 22 22:25:32 And if they have tastes like Claudia... Mar 22 22:26:55 That is unlikely, is it not? Mar 22 22:27:39 You think she is a singularity in that respect? Mar 22 22:28:52 * MollyK tilts her head Mar 22 22:29:10 I suppose perhaps I did, or at least that it is incredibly rare Mar 22 22:30:29 I wouldn't think so... Mar 22 22:31:35 * MollyK nods thoughtfully Mar 22 22:32:00 You'd best just come to me in Vodacce to be sure then Mar 22 22:32:39 No, there are some limits... Mar 22 22:33:51 Not for me... I would follow you wherever I had to Mar 22 22:34:27 There's not anywhere you particularly dislike though Mar 22 22:35:34 I would like in _Maubourg's house_ if that is where you wanted me Mar 22 22:35:41 Live* Mar 22 22:36:38 I'm not that cruel Mar 22 22:37:13 * MollyK nods Mar 22 22:37:21 You are never cruel to me Mar 22 22:38:05 No Mar 22 22:38:41 * MollyK smiles Mar 22 22:39:00 Maybe I will stay in Eisen then Mar 22 22:39:36 * Morgan nods Mar 22 22:39:39 I'd appreciate that Mar 22 22:40:29 * MollyK smiles Mar 22 22:40:44 Later, you can show me as well as tell me, my love Mar 22 22:40:54 * Morgan nods Mar 22 22:40:57 perhaps I will Mar 22 22:42:55 * MollyK rides on. They race a little here and there, but mostly don't, and directions from a young boy with a cow on a rope points them to the house. They see a lake in the distance as they pass up the drive, though it's not very big Mar 22 22:43:51 I think Edward said his commander came into it near the end of the War Mar 22 22:44:21 * Morgan nods Mar 22 22:46:52 *the drive takes them past the front of the house, which is symmetrical, balanced, and with two terraces of cottages flanking it. Above the main door is a small tower with a clock. It's around the size of that at Koln Mar 22 22:50:56 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
