**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Apr 14 14:20:33 2022 Apr 14 14:20:33 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 14 14:20:49 [15:22:38] MollyK: Were you? Apr 14 14:21:08 * Morgan nods Apr 14 14:21:32 Why, my love? Apr 14 14:22:13 Well... a reminder, for a start Apr 14 14:23:38 I do not think they blame you as you blame yourself Apr 14 14:24:08 Maybe Apr 14 14:25:23 Do you think you will do it? Apr 14 14:25:45 * Morgan nods Apr 14 14:26:43 * MollyK smiles Apr 14 14:26:50 I think that would be nice Apr 14 14:28:32 * Morgan nods Apr 14 14:31:07 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 14 14:34:13 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 14 14:34:25 * MollyK smiles Apr 14 14:34:32 You may need to make two Apr 14 14:34:43 may? I was going to Apr 14 14:34:55 * MollyK nods Apr 14 14:35:03 at least I've got a bit longer to do that... HeinzHarolds asked if I can draw him for Ingas birthday Apr 14 14:35:13 She will love that! Apr 14 14:35:54 maybe... I suggested he speak to Edward, since he knows how you womenfolk think Apr 14 14:37:25 I dread to think what Edward might suggest Apr 14 14:37:35 Lingerie perhaps? Apr 14 14:37:41 * MollyK smiles Apr 14 14:38:01 He would be good for recommending that Apr 14 14:38:17 * Morgan nods Apr 14 14:38:22 getting it in time might be difficult Apr 14 14:38:33 * MollyK nods Apr 14 14:39:01 they will have some in Seeufer or Fischler Apr 14 14:39:11 * Morgan nods Apr 14 14:39:36 Perhaps Heinzharold and I should go? Apr 14 14:40:17 He was going to speak to you, see if you ad any idea's, if you could give an insight into sizing... Apr 14 14:40:28 * MollyK nods Apr 14 14:40:38 Of course, that is no trouble Apr 14 14:41:15 * Morgan nods Apr 14 14:41:18 he'd appreciate that Apr 14 14:41:29 Father wants to know what time we need to be leaving tomorrow Apr 14 14:42:35 Did you wish to go on ahead still? Apr 14 14:42:55 * Morgan shrugs Apr 14 14:43:00 I thought you were joking... Apr 14 14:44:08 It would give me time to have a catch up with Heinrich about the estate books and things, and to correct anything where the house is not ready... Apr 14 14:44:16 * Morgan nods Apr 14 14:44:21 alright blossom Apr 14 14:45:13 I am sure I could find you a little time too... *she keeps playing but is smiling* Apr 14 14:46:32 I would hope so Apr 14 14:47:01 Either once we arrive, or on the way? Apr 14 14:47:19 what are you suggesting? Apr 14 14:48:16 There are _a lot_ of trees on the way... Apr 14 14:48:26 that is true... Apr 14 14:49:02 And We wouldn't have to send staff away to be unheard out there Apr 14 14:49:18 true... Apr 14 14:49:44 * MollyK shrugs Apr 14 14:49:57 But if it rains, we would get very wet... Apr 14 14:50:22 true Apr 14 14:51:34 We will have to wait and see... Apr 14 14:51:58 * Morgan nods Apr 14 14:52:01 all we can do really Apr 14 14:52:16 I need to see HeinzHarolds Ma before we go Apr 14 14:52:26 Goodness knows we cannot be trusted in a carriage to Innesbruck. Do you? Apr 14 14:52:58 * Morgan nods Apr 14 14:53:08 I want to show her the drawing of her husband Apr 14 14:53:20 * MollyK nods Apr 14 14:53:56 That is sweet, I would imagine she will be very touched Apr 14 14:54:11 I'm thinking of asking Edward to paint it Apr 14 14:54:40 He would do an excellent job, he is talented Apr 14 14:55:14 * Morgan nods Apr 14 14:55:17 he is Apr 14 14:57:38 Best get his hands working at that before he gets married Apr 14 14:58:14 * Morgan nods slowly Apr 14 14:59:34 * MollyK glances at him, then giggles Apr 14 15:00:09 what? Apr 14 15:00:40 I wondered if you'd realised I was being suggestive Apr 14 15:01:22 only slightly Apr 14 15:01:47 * MollyK nods Apr 14 15:02:02 When are you going? Apr 14 15:02:28 I was thinking tomorrow morning... Apr 14 15:03:18 * MollyK nods Apr 14 15:03:38 Alright, liebling Apr 14 15:03:57 old go now... Apr 14 15:04:44 If you wish, my love. It will only be Varick's dinner and bedtime soon Apr 14 15:04:58 You would not mind? Apr 14 15:05:36 I do not tie you down, liebling Apr 14 15:06:01 No, but our time together will be short in the next weeks Apr 14 15:07:03 I have you last thing at night, we will be together still Apr 14 15:07:36 * Morgan nods Apr 14 15:07:39 alright blossom Apr 14 15:08:10 Will that be enough for _you_? Apr 14 15:09:07 I'll manage Apr 14 15:10:04 * MollyK moves a little, kissing his cheek. Impressively she still manages to play well Apr 14 15:17:39 thats impressive Apr 14 15:17:47 * MollyK smiles Apr 14 15:17:58 It takes far more than that to distract me Apr 14 15:19:15 * Morgan nods Apr 14 15:19:59 Well, I shall collect my book and head over to see her Apr 14 15:20:47 Alright liebling. I will see you for dinner? Apr 14 15:21:16 oh definitely, if not before Apr 14 15:21:30 * MollyK nods Apr 14 15:21:36 I will be thinking of you Apr 14 15:22:39 * Morgan nods, kissing her crown before heading off Apr 14 15:26:56 *it's very good out of doors, and Xantha doesn't seem impressed by that, but they make their way through town and to Heinzharold's family farm Apr 14 15:27:03 Cold* Apr 14 15:28:31 * Morgan fetches a blanket from the barn to lay over Xantha before grabbing his back and going to knock on the door Apr 14 15:29:56 * MollyK is now known as Ma Apr 14 15:30:27 Come in! Ruth, for gods' sake your hair will burn right off your head! Apr 14 15:31:30 * Morgan pushes the door open, going inside Apr 14 15:33:00 *HH is sat by the fire, Inga and Ma are making dinner, and Ruth, the youngest at seventeen, is sat on a stool trying to curl her hair with a heated tong Apr 14 15:33:35 Come on in, Morgan, I'll get you some tea Apr 14 15:33:55 very kind of you Apr 14 15:35:24 *HH pushes a chair by the fire towards him with his foot* 'ere y' go Apr 14 15:35:53 * Morgan sits down gently Apr 14 15:37:29 * Ma brings him a cup of tea Apr 14 15:37:34 There we are Apr 14 15:38:04 Thank you... do you have a minute? Apr 14 15:38:16 *Ruth leaves off messing with her hair, instead watching the grown ups* Apr 14 15:38:48 Inga, dear, keep chopping the vegetables please. What can I do for you, Morgan? Apr 14 15:39:18 I was going through my old sketchbooks when I came across a couple of them I thought you'd like to see Apr 14 15:40:11 * Ma gets another stool, sitting beside him Apr 14 15:40:45 Yes, let's have a look *she takes out a pair of very old and repaired spectacles* Apr 14 15:41:00 * Morgan flicks straight to the page with the young HeinzHarold Apr 14 15:41:18 * Ma smiles Apr 14 15:41:53 What a lovely little boy he was. Determined to follow in his Father's footsteps Apr 14 15:42:11 * Morgan nods Apr 14 15:42:46 Really though, its the next one I've really come to show you... I'm going to ask my brother to do a painting of it Apr 14 15:43:09 Lord Koertig paints, does he? Apr 14 15:43:15 * Morgan nods Apr 14 15:43:17 very well Apr 14 15:43:40 * Ma nods Apr 14 15:44:01 * Morgan turns it to the page of HeinzHarold senior before placing the book in her lap Apr 14 15:45:29 * Ma stares at it a moment, a tear falling down her cheek "Oh I miss him..." Apr 14 15:45:47 * Morgan nods Apr 14 15:45:51 we all do Apr 14 15:46:12 You've done an excellent job here. He was such a handsome man. *she pulls out a hankie to wipe her eyes* Apr 14 15:47:16 If Edwards willing, as soon as he's painted it, we'll get it to you as soon as we can. If he doesn't, I'll send you the sketch Apr 14 15:48:28 You don't have to do that for me... it's so good to see him again Apr 14 15:48:46 * Morgan shrugs Apr 14 15:48:51 I don't have to but I want to Apr 14 15:49:47 * Ma nods, still looking at it Apr 14 15:49:55 Thank you. Apr 14 15:50:03 * Morgan squeezes her shoulder before going to help Inga with the vegetables Apr 14 15:52:26 *Inga smiles at him, pushing some carrots in his direction. By the fire Ma moves to the chair, and HH leans in, taking her hand. Ruth replaces her on the stool "Can I see, Ma?" Apr 14 15:52:54 * Morgan talks quietly to Inga Apr 14 15:52:59 how's he doing today? Apr 14 15:54:10 * Ma is now known as Inga Apr 14 15:54:17 * Inga whispers Apr 14 15:54:45 He's okay, but he's not enjoying not having our own space Apr 14 15:55:14 Will do tomorrow Apr 14 15:55:32 * Inga nods Apr 14 15:55:40 How are you all? Apr 14 15:56:35 *he can hear Ruth crying quietly and HH and Ma consoling her* Apr 14 15:56:53 Better than they were.... things were decidedly tense for a time... *he glances over his shoulder* maybe I shouldn't have come Apr 14 15:58:21 I think it's good to cry sometimes Apr 14 15:58:45 * Morgan nods Apr 14 15:59:14 I must admit I've been doing that a damn sight more than I used to Apr 14 16:00:48 * Inga nods Apr 14 16:00:51 I know Apr 14 16:03:27 oh? Apr 14 16:05:29 Well yesterday at the grave, and you told me about when you were upset with Heinzharold about Elsie, and I know from Molly that you hadn't before that, not when you got married or when when she nearly died Apr 14 16:05:54 * Morgan glances at her Apr 14 16:06:00 you hold that against me Apr 14 16:06:23 No, I don't Apr 14 16:06:37 seems that way... Apr 14 16:08:01 No, I know why, I think Apr 14 16:08:13 oh? Apr 14 16:09:25 Molly said it was because you had to stop feeling everything to be able to do anything, and that that is very difficult to fix Apr 14 16:10:54 * Morgan nods Apr 14 16:11:31 All I felt for a long time was anger.... feeling anything else was debilitating and scary... You got the wrong idea about why I broke down about Elsie though Apr 14 16:12:33 Why? *she starts chopping an onion in water* Apr 14 16:13:03 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 14 16:13:22 oh no, I've already felt HeinzHarolds displeasure for telling you something he didn't want you knowing.... Apr 14 16:14:36 I suppose I just felt a bit protective. What happened to Elsie was awful, but so was what happened to Molly, and I couldn't understand then how you could be so upset for one and not the other Apr 14 16:14:47 * Morgan nods Apr 14 16:16:33 I can understand that... I wasn't allowed near Molly while all of that was happening and I spent so much energy stopping myself from sliding back into the way I used to be... then when it was coming to an end and I was losing her, I just wanted to be there for her... then after that, that escape... none of it mattered. We'd escaped, and the best thing to do was make the most of every moment together Apr 14 16:16:56 * Inga nods Apr 14 16:17:40 That does make sense. It wasn't that you didn't care enough Apr 14 16:17:50 No, absolutely not Apr 14 16:18:43 * Inga nods Apr 14 16:19:25 I understand why she kept you away, I know she was in a lot of pain and quite sick Apr 14 16:19:33 * Morgan nods Apr 14 16:20:29 She was very scared, I wish I'd been there for her Apr 14 16:21:18 so do I. As for Elsie... my breaking down wasn't what you think Apr 14 16:21:42 But you won't tell me Apr 14 16:22:10 * Morgan sighs Apr 14 16:22:58 It would mean going against my best friends wishes... I've hurt him more than I can bear already Apr 14 16:25:18 * Inga nods Apr 14 16:25:30 I'll ask him to tell me Apr 14 16:25:38 * Morgan nods Apr 14 16:25:54 To understand you don't need all the details... just one or two Apr 14 16:27:18 Go on Apr 14 16:29:37 Ever notice Elsie's hair colour before we had it cut? Apr 14 16:29:50 It was a reddish colour Apr 14 16:30:04 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 14 16:30:22 when she... it happened, all her hair was red... Apr 14 16:31:55 * Inga nods Apr 14 16:31:57 Yes Apr 14 16:32:25 know anyone else that fits that description? Apr 14 16:33:45 * Inga nods Apr 14 16:33:53 It's like Molly's hair Apr 14 16:33:58 * Morgan nods Apr 14 16:34:13 he'd long been after Molly Apr 14 16:35:01 Right...? Apr 14 16:35:20 * Morgan shakes his head slightly Apr 14 16:35:25 he called her Molly... Apr 14 16:37:09 * Inga stops chopping, holding her knife up like she should happily use it on the culprit "he did _what_?!" Apr 14 16:37:42 * Morgan nods at the onion Apr 14 16:39:41 * Inga starts chopping again Apr 14 16:39:54 He deserves to die again. Apr 14 16:40:00 * Morgan nods Apr 14 16:40:04 You understand now? Apr 14 16:42:33 You weren't just crying for else, it was for Molly, and what could have happened to her Apr 14 16:42:39 Elsie* Apr 14 16:42:55 * Morgan nods Apr 14 16:44:53 * Inga nods Apr 14 16:44:58 I didn't know Apr 14 16:46:02 I know... and yet I was still extremely bothered... your opinion of me is important to me Apr 14 16:47:13 I just want Molly to be happy. She's asked me before about whether Heinzharold cries to me or not Apr 14 16:47:26 * Morgan nods Apr 14 16:47:51 thats all I want... tried my damndest to show her how much she means to be Apr 14 16:48:30 * Inga nods Apr 14 16:48:40 I think she knows now Apr 14 16:48:48 * Morgan nods Apr 14 16:50:10 I don't think she did for quite a while, but it seems to be different lately Apr 14 16:51:11 I've made an effort since she was poisoned... the more time I spend with your husband, the more like... well, me, I become Apr 14 16:52:37 * Inga nods Apr 14 16:52:43 He rubs off on you Apr 14 16:52:49 * Inga goes bright red Apr 14 16:53:20 * Morgan laughs, putting an arm around her and squeezing her shoulder before going back to chopping Apr 14 16:53:30 In a personality sense, I meant Apr 14 16:53:40 *she smiles * Apr 14 16:53:44 thats certainly what I _hoped_ you meant Apr 14 16:53:57 * Inga nods Apr 14 16:54:09 He is going to laugh so much at that Apr 14 16:54:20 * Morgan nods Apr 14 16:54:27 you're going to be hearing about it for days Apr 14 16:54:53 * Inga nods Apr 14 16:55:03 You are becoming more relaxed like he is Apr 14 16:55:21 I'm trying to Apr 14 16:57:31 Is he the sort of husband you were the first time? Playful and easy-going? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to Apr 14 16:57:53 * Morgan nods Apr 14 16:59:02 a bit, aye... I think we've all been tempered by what happened to some degree or another. Claudia said I was naive, and I suppose I was... Apr 14 16:59:55 * Inga nods Apr 14 17:00:15 Or just hopeful Apr 14 17:01:00 _now_ I'm hopeful... then I was definitely naive. In some ways I wish I could be that person for Molly but... he's gone. Apr 14 17:01:12 * Morgan looks over his shoulder at HeinzHarold and his mother and sister Apr 14 17:03:49 *They're quietly reminiscing, the sketchbook carefully shut to protect it* Apr 14 17:04:05 * Inga nods Apr 14 17:04:08 That is sad Apr 14 17:04:12 * Morgan smiles slightly, going back to chopping Apr 14 17:04:56 aye, it is. But it is what it is, and we can only do our best with the situation we have. That person wouldn't do half the things I do Apr 14 17:05:21 You can't be the same husband to two different wives Apr 14 17:05:34 * Morgan nods Apr 14 17:05:37 it wouldn't be fair Apr 14 17:06:07 I don't think that's what I meant. What do you mean? Apr 14 17:06:20 * Inga puts the cut up onion in the pan Apr 14 17:06:45 * Morgan shrugs Apr 14 17:08:47 I suppose... you can't even be the same man to two different people... you have the principles, the ideas... but you are different with every person you ever meet... Apr 14 17:10:17 Yes, that's what I mean. Being a good husband to Molly wouldn't be the same as being a good husband to Dietlinde was, because they are different women with different personalities and different wants and needs Apr 14 17:11:06 * Morgan nods Apr 14 17:13:51 I wouldn't feel too bad that you can't be like Dietlinde's Morgan again, and just concentrate on being Molly's Morgan. Apr 14 17:14:15 * Morgan nods Apr 14 17:14:19 I'm trying to Apr 14 17:14:31 * Inga nods Apr 14 17:15:01 As long as you're both happy together Apr 14 17:15:07 * Morgan nods Apr 14 17:15:10 deliriously Apr 14 17:18:15 * Inga smiles Apr 14 17:18:40 That's good. I think you make a good couple Apr 14 17:18:47 I like to think so Apr 14 17:20:11 And one day there will be lots of little Koertigs running around, that will be nice Apr 14 17:21:46 one would hope so Apr 14 17:22:03 * Inga nods Apr 14 17:22:18 You just need to be settled first Apr 14 17:22:59 * Morgan nods Apr 14 17:23:30 Got a while yet Apr 14 17:25:41 * Inga nods Apr 14 17:27:26 You'll be amazing parents Apr 14 17:27:50 I hope so Apr 14 17:30:19 Heinzharold thinks so too. He says you were so good before that you'll be just as good again Apr 14 17:31:27 His father has a lot to do with that Apr 14 17:31:48 Not your own? Apr 14 17:32:44 In his own way... my father is quite reserved Apr 14 17:35:05 * Inga nods Apr 14 17:35:27 You aren't reserved with Varick Apr 14 17:35:57 After what that boy has been through, he needs obvious love and affection Apr 14 17:37:20 * Inga nods Apr 14 17:37:31 It's not easy being an orphan Apr 14 17:38:02 * Morgan nods Apr 14 17:40:02 Does Molly know that when you were upset about Elsie it was a lot about her? Apr 14 17:40:44 * Morgan nods Apr 14 17:40:46 yes, she does Apr 14 17:41:07 * Morgan glances over his shoulder Apr 14 17:41:23 you know I occasionally get glances of how things could have been, would be if things were different? Apr 14 17:42:27 * Inga nods Apr 14 17:42:34 It's very weird Apr 14 17:42:44 * Morgan nods Apr 14 17:42:48 *no one is interested in them* Apr 14 17:43:07 I've seen how it would'e played out if Kurt hadn't escorted Molly to her room that night... Apr 14 17:43:42 Oh no... Molly would have had Thomas instead? Apr 14 17:43:50 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 14 17:43:58 no... it would have broken her mind completely Apr 14 17:44:29 That must have been hard to see Apr 14 17:44:39 * Morgan nods Apr 14 17:46:05 Did you love her though? Apr 14 17:46:38 I was beginning to see it then... it was after I came back here for a while Apr 14 17:48:10 * Inga nods, starting peeling potatoes Apr 14 17:48:18 But she was lost? Apr 14 17:48:30 * Morgan nods Apr 14 17:48:40 moments of lucidity... but thats it Apr 14 17:48:56 It was lucky Kurt was there Apr 14 17:49:43 * Morgan nods Apr 14 17:52:36 As you can imagine, I've berated myself for not being the one to keep her safe Apr 14 17:52:59 You weren't even there, you couldn't have known Apr 14 17:53:28 I know Apr 14 17:55:23 Why did you come back? Apr 14 17:55:37 here? Apr 14 17:56:07 Yes Apr 14 17:56:55 To find out if I could bear to be here, to build a bridge with my father... I needed to accept what had happened before I could allow myself to feel what I was already feeling for Molly Apr 14 17:57:27 That sounds confusing. How could you feel it without feeling it? Apr 14 17:58:54 I already could... I needed to get to a point where I felt it was... ok, not a betrayal Apr 14 17:59:27 * Inga nods Apr 14 17:59:41 Did you find what you were looking for? Apr 14 18:00:15 we're here aren't we? Apr 14 18:00:26 * Inga smiles Apr 14 18:00:37 I didn't know if it was as simple as that Apr 14 18:01:49 No, but it was the first step of many Apr 14 18:02:31 * Inga nods Apr 14 18:04:05 That's what I used to find really confusing, because to me it seemed like your love for her must have been so strong to make it worthwhile to start again with all that risk, but it wasn't very obvious on the surface Apr 14 18:05:59 Its confusing as hell... do you feel safe with me? Like, do you ever feel there is some expectation I place on you? Apr 14 18:07:05 * Inga thinks about it Apr 14 18:07:55 I think maybe you expect me to bring you any big problems I see in Molly or Heinzharold, and to not take straight back to her anything you tell me. But I do feel safe Apr 14 18:08:54 I can appreciate that I suppose... the thing Molly did first and foremost was just... accept me. Never pushed for more, never judged me. She made me feel safe in that. Apr 14 18:09:32 That was a big risk for her, she could have gotten her heart broken Apr 14 18:10:18 * Morgan nods Apr 14 18:10:22 I know Apr 14 18:10:33 I didn't realise it, then, of course. I was too caught up in being angry Apr 14 18:10:39 * Inga nods Apr 14 18:11:14 I don't really know how you didn't know for so long. From what she has said, it seems obvious she was mad about you Apr 14 18:11:36 too blinded by my own pity I think Apr 14 18:12:29 Lucky she didn't give up on you really Apr 14 18:13:21 * Morgan nods Apr 14 18:13:22 very Apr 14 18:13:35 cant say I'd have blamed her Apr 14 18:14:33 * Inga nods Apr 14 18:16:15 But it worked out well in the end. It's lucky Rosie didn't come along? Apr 14 18:16:34 * Morgan nods Apr 14 18:16:36 quite Apr 14 18:16:40 * Morgan glances at her Apr 14 18:16:53 I'm still a little threatened by that whole situation, even though I know I shouldn't be Apr 14 18:17:30 Have you seen a lot of the possible way it could have been with him? Apr 14 18:17:42 * Morgan nods Apr 14 18:17:59 Though even I have to admit some were just... nightmares Apr 14 18:19:01 * Inga nods Apr 14 18:19:17 Is she really actually happy in them though? Apr 14 18:19:23 * Morgan nods Apr 14 18:19:57 yes, she is... it should be said that in those I was usually still with Dietlinde... _most_ of those anyway Apr 14 18:20:09 * Inga grimaces Apr 14 18:20:26 Isn't that hard to bear? Apr 14 18:20:56 * Morgan smiles slightly Apr 14 18:20:58 incredibly Apr 14 18:22:41 Do you see Dietlinde again in them? Apr 14 18:23:19 Some of them, yes Apr 14 18:25:19 * Inga nods Apr 14 18:27:16 But that isn't how it is, and you are happy with Molly and Molly is happy with you. I can't imagine her and Rosie together Apr 14 18:27:44 * Morgan shrugs Apr 14 18:28:52 * Inga sighs Apr 14 18:29:05 Do you think she would have been happier like that? Apr 14 18:29:35 I think I'd have been less sad... happier, well... thats impossible to say really. Apr 14 18:30:44 * Inga glances at him before chopping the potatoes "I asked if you thought _she_ would be happier " Apr 14 18:31:50 ((sorry, misread it)) Apr 14 18:32:15 ((Perhaps He misheard it)) Apr 14 18:32:56 oh.. sorry... uhhh, I don't know. She always looks perfectly happy.... It would have been easier for her, I think Apr 14 18:38:00 Are you sad that she hasn't had that? Apr 14 18:38:16 /me nods Apr 14 18:38:29 it terrified me that she'll decide she wants that Apr 14 18:39:53 * Inga nods Apr 14 18:40:21 I don't think she will... Apr 14 18:42:36 I hope not Apr 14 18:43:04 I think she loves you enough to stay Apr 14 18:43:25 I'm not sure I could keep her from it.... Apr 14 18:43:44 That would be difficult Apr 14 18:44:15 * Morgan nods Apr 14 18:44:19 I just have to hope Apr 14 18:46:11 I wouldn't want to stop Heinzharold going if there was someone out there he could love more than he loves me, like he'd be happier with her. I couldn't deal with knowing that there was a woman who could hold his heart that way Apr 14 18:46:26 * Morgan nods Apr 14 18:46:38 exactly Apr 14 18:48:33 But I don't the Rosie is that man for her. I think _you_ are that man for her. Apr 14 18:48:38 Think* Apr 14 18:48:45 * Morgan smiles slightly Apr 14 18:48:57 just as you are the man for HeinzHarold, so to speak... Apr 14 18:49:06 * Inga smiles Apr 14 18:50:22 I hope so. I hope that if there is another woman out there that would be right for him he doesn't meet her unless something happens to me Apr 14 18:51:18 I just don't see it Apr 14 18:54:46 No, but I guess you could never imagine Molly existing either Apr 14 18:55:42 shush with your logic, thats my thing Apr 14 18:55:52 * Inga smiles Apr 14 18:56:28 Maybe you've rub-... no, not that! Apr 14 18:56:41 * Morgan laughs hard Apr 14 18:56:52 I'm going to tell your husband you nearly said that Apr 14 18:56:57 *HH turns to look* Apr 14 18:57:23 HH: You flirtin' with my wife? Apr 14 18:57:50 Maybe a tiny a bit... Apr 14 18:59:19 * Inga blushes, smiling "I've never had a Duke flirt with me before" Apr 14 19:00:23 A crime, to be sure. I doubt Ma's had a duke prepare her dinner either Apr 14 19:00:37 HH, grinning: $you leave my apples alone! I'll lamp you, then yer wife will too$ Apr 14 19:01:08 Ma: No, never. Are you staying, Morgan ? Apr 14 19:02:13 No... in fact, I'd best be on my way, lest HeinzHarold slaps me for flirting with his wife... Apr 14 19:03:17 * Inga smiles "Can you tell Molly I'll see her tomorrow?" Apr 14 19:03:43 of course Lady Lehenstrue Apr 14 19:03:59 *Ma brings him the sketchbook back* Thank you for coming Apr 14 19:05:00 My pleasure. I'll get your lump of a son to let you know about if its going to be painted Apr 14 19:05:29 *she laughs, handing it back* Apr 14 19:06:03 * Inga looks at Morgan "May I see?" Apr 14 19:06:16 wipe that onion off your hand, aye Apr 14 19:06:45 I won't touch *she quickly washes her hands* Apr 14 19:07:27 * Morgan nods, opening the book and turning it for her Apr 14 19:07:59 * Inga looks at it a few moments before saying "wrong page?" Apr 14 19:08:32 * Morgan looks at it Apr 14 19:08:34 *he's opened it to the one of Dietlinde on the doorstep when he first met her* Apr 14 19:08:42 ah... yes Apr 14 19:08:52 * Morgan moves to the one of HeinzHarolds father Apr 14 19:10:28 * Inga nods still looking at him not the book "it's an excellent likeness from what I remember, but it's like you can almost feel the feelings of admiration and attraction coming right off the page" Apr 14 19:12:45 * Morgan looks at her before nodding slightly Apr 14 19:13:28 * Inga watches him a moment longer before looking at the sketch of Heinzharold Senior Apr 14 19:14:10 He looks much like I imagined. Like Heinzharold but older and less silly Apr 14 19:15:26 HH: *he puts his arm around Inga's waist* You like me this silly, an' we both know it Apr 14 19:16:41 * Morgan watches her seriously Apr 14 19:16:52 you have something to say... Apr 14 19:17:30 * Inga shakes her head, smiling "he is right, I do like him silly Apr 14 19:18:16 * Morgan nods slightly, turning the page to the younger HeinzHarold Apr 14 19:18:45 * Inga smiles "Aww he was so cute" Apr 14 19:18:55 * Morgan looks at HeinzHarold Apr 14 19:18:58 _was_ Apr 14 19:19:16 *HH nods* Much cuter now Apr 14 19:19:28 * Morgan whispers loudly Apr 14 19:19:32 not what she meant... Apr 14 19:19:38 * Morgan closes the book Apr 14 19:19:50 I wonder if Xantha has decided to make his own way home Apr 14 19:20:04 *they all laugh* Apr 14 19:20:11 * Inga is now known as HH Apr 14 19:20:21 I'll walk y' out Apr 14 19:20:40 * Morgan nods, inclining his head to HH's mother and wife respectively Apr 14 19:21:39 * HH whispers in Inga's ear, but Morgan can just make it out "I'll give you some cute babies like that..." before he kisses her cheek Apr 14 19:25:31 * HH has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 14 19:52:37 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 14 19:54:47 * Morgan shakes his head, opening the door and going outside Apr 14 19:55:02 * MollyK is now known as HH Apr 14 19:55:42 * HH follows along "Thanks for that, man. I forget sometimes our Ruth was too young to really remember him" Apr 14 19:56:02 No problem Apr 14 19:56:10 You good? Apr 14 19:56:24 mostly... Apr 14 20:00:30 * HH has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 14 20:03:42 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 14 20:03:46 [19:53:02] HH: 'S up, man? Apr 14 20:03:52 [19:53:21] • ​HH​ leans on the gate near where Xantha is tethered Apr 14 20:04:18 Something about Inga's reaction to the drawing of Dietlinde... she was watching me entirely too seriously... Apr 14 20:04:32 * MollyK is now known as HH Apr 14 20:04:36 * HH shrugs Apr 14 20:04:48 No idea. I wouldn't worry about it Apr 14 20:06:08 * Morgan frowns Apr 14 20:06:16 she'll say it eventually Apr 14 20:06:28 * HH shrugs again Apr 14 20:06:58 Don't spend so long living in women's 'eads, it's not good for ya Apr 14 20:07:29 * Morgan shrugs Apr 14 20:07:34 I spose not Apr 14 20:08:49 * HH nods Apr 14 20:09:08 Gonna send the coach this way in the mornin'? Apr 14 20:09:22 Can do if its easier for ya Apr 14 20:09:31 Prob'ly Apr 14 20:09:43 * Morgan nods Apr 14 20:09:45 will do then Apr 14 20:10:19 * HH hugs him Apr 14 20:10:47 Ma loves the sketch, you did a good job Apr 14 20:12:23 I'm glad she liked it... I didn't mean to upset her Apr 14 20:12:50 * HH shakes his head Apr 14 20:13:26 You know how it goes sometimes. She misses him loads, she's ne'er been the same without him Apr 14 20:15:33 * Morgan nods Apr 14 20:15:34 aye Apr 14 20:16:42 She likes you because she says th' rest of us can't unnerstand like you can Apr 14 20:17:39 I thought she liked me anyway Apr 14 20:18:15 Well yeah Apr 14 20:18:23 * Morgan smiles Apr 14 20:18:27 I know man Apr 14 20:19:55 * HH nods Apr 14 20:20:13 See y' in the mornin' then Apr 14 20:20:39 * Morgan nods, undoing the tether and climbing into the saddle Apr 14 20:20:58 ask her what made me laugh... I'd like to know if it makes her blush more when she tells you than when it happened Apr 14 20:22:12 * HH grins Apr 14 20:22:16 Good, was it? Apr 14 20:22:40 Worst thing is, its the second time she'd said something like that... Apr 14 20:23:35 * HH laughs Apr 14 20:23:41 I'll let y' know Apr 14 20:24:08 * Morgan nods Apr 14 20:24:19 see you in the mornin' Apr 14 20:25:47 'Ave a good night well out o' the close supervision of a parent that might walk on y' if you even look at yer wife with a twinkle in yer eye! Apr 14 20:26:26 You've only got to wait another night Apr 14 20:26:46 A cold bath will do th' trick. Apr 14 20:27:05 * Morgan nods Apr 14 20:27:09 as I recall, yes Apr 14 20:27:19 * HH laughs Apr 14 20:27:24 See ya, man Apr 14 20:29:08 * Morgan nods to his friend before setting off Apr 14 20:32:18 *he arrives back without incidence, just after six. He might be able to see Varick before he goes to sleep if he is quick* Apr 14 20:32:46 /nick Molly Apr 14 20:32:53 * HH is now known as Molly Apr 14 20:34:03 * Morgan heads straight to his suite to see Varick Apr 14 20:34:30 *In the Veisgraf’s Wing he can hear Molly in the nursery suite* Apr 14 20:34:30 Even if I did know, I could not show you any of them. Papa’s memories from before you and I came along are private, and still painful. He will show you or tell you in time, when he is ready, and when you are old enough Apr 14 20:36:05 * Morgan waits to hear Varicks reply Apr 14 20:36:54 V: Okay, Mama. I will wait. Apr 14 20:37:16 You're a very kind boy, Mauschen. We love you very much Apr 14 20:38:38 * Morgan opens the door, heading into the nursery Apr 14 20:40:10 *His old room from early childhood is now Varick's, and the boy is all tucked in, the room dark. Molly is sat on the bed stroking Varick's hair Apr 14 20:40:34 * Morgan comes to kneel by the bed Apr 14 20:43:14 *Varick rolls over to put his hand on Morgan too* Apr 14 20:43:28 * Morgan takes his hand Apr 14 20:45:58 V: I love you, Papa Apr 14 20:46:14 I love you too, very much Apr 14 20:48:25 *he yawns, settling down more. Molly kisses both their crowns before quietly leaving the room* Apr 14 20:51:50 *Varick is soon asleep* Apr 14 20:52:05 * Morgan quietly gets up and leaves the room Apr 14 20:53:24 * Molly is in their room folding clothes into their trunk Apr 14 20:53:39 How was it, my love? Apr 14 20:54:21 emotional... Inga really bothers me sometimes... she's so damn inscrutable Apr 14 20:56:00 * Molly smiles Apr 14 20:56:06 Why, my love? Apr 14 20:57:05 She saw the picture of Dietlinde... she got very strange, giving me that look when she's figuring something out Apr 14 20:57:29 * Molly looks unsure Apr 14 20:57:50 I am afraid I cannot answer that, I don't know Apr 14 20:58:42 No... thats going to bug the hell out of me Apr 14 20:59:32 It's probably nothing of consequence, liebling Apr 14 20:59:57 * Morgan shrugs, frowning Apr 14 21:01:14 * Molly watches him Apr 14 21:01:23 How can I help you, my love? Apr 14 21:01:30 * Morgan sighs hard Apr 14 21:01:32 I don't know Apr 14 21:03:22 * Molly holds her hand up to him Apr 14 21:04:31 * Morgan takes it Apr 14 21:06:41 * Molly kisses his knuckles Apr 14 21:07:02 Do you want me to ride down there and ask her? Apr 14 21:07:29 She'd not tell you if it was something she thought would hurt you Apr 14 21:09:31 I fail to see how it might hurt me? Apr 14 21:10:42 I've got an idea... she said she could really feel the admiration and attraction in the sketch of Dietlinde... I'm wondering if she's thinking how you'd feel seeing it, or that I had not drawn some of you... Apr 14 21:11:03 * Molly nods a little Apr 14 21:11:20 That does sound like something Inga might think Apr 14 21:11:30 * Morgan nods Apr 14 21:11:42 of course, she'll have no idea of the times I've sketched you... Apr 14 21:13:52 No, I haven't told her about those sketches... Apr 14 21:14:16 she worries a lot about you getting hurt Apr 14 21:14:40 I know, but that is because she cares so much Apr 14 21:15:15 * Morgan nods Apr 14 21:17:57 Don't fret, I will tell her I have seen it already Apr 14 21:18:03 * Morgan nods Apr 14 21:18:14 I'm mildly perturbed at how much her opinion matters to me Apr 14 21:18:30 * Molly frowns slightly Apr 14 21:18:34 Why does it? Apr 14 21:19:10 * Morgan tilts his head Apr 14 21:19:52 I don't know... possibly because she's an innocent soul... possibly because she was a maid before our friend Apr 14 21:21:38 * Molly nods thoughtfully Apr 14 21:21:48 Perhaps it is because she is new Apr 14 21:21:55 new? Apr 14 21:21:59 Mmhmm Apr 14 21:22:12 I don't understand Apr 14 21:23:23 I already love you, as do Heinzharold and Claudia. We've all known you a while, and our perceptions of you and your actions could be clouded by our love, but Inga is still new, unclouded. Apr 14 21:23:50 Maybe... Apr 14 21:24:06 * Molly shrugs Apr 14 21:24:32 Or perhaps there is something about her calm, gentle nature that makes you want to gain her approval? Apr 14 21:25:50 could be... _or_ it could be because she doesn't know me like the others do, she doesn't understand how my mind works... how an old drawing doesn't mean I haven't already drawn you with the same qualities... she's very protective of you Apr 14 21:26:43 * Molly nods Apr 14 21:27:41 She is. Just as I am of her. But I will explain that this is unnecessary in this instance Apr 14 21:28:18 * Morgan nods slowly Apr 14 21:28:30 I think we may have cracked it... Apr 14 21:28:37 * Molly nods Apr 14 21:29:27 It sounds like it, my love. But do not be mad at her, please. She is over-protective because she loves me Apr 14 21:29:53 I'm not mad at her at all... it troubles me that she thinks less of me. Apr 14 21:31:00 I am sure she doesn't think less of you, my love Apr 14 21:31:16 * Morgan shrugs Apr 14 21:32:11 * Molly kisses his knuckles again Apr 14 21:33:38 You are hurt? Apr 14 21:34:05 A little upset maybe Apr 14 21:34:13 but it'll be alright Apr 14 21:34:26 * Molly stands up, wrapping her arms around him Apr 14 21:35:25 She likes you, liebling, and she thinks you are good for me. You do not need to worry Apr 14 21:35:43 * Morgan nods Apr 14 21:36:38 We'll just show her the sketches you have done of me, and she will see those same feelings there Apr 14 21:36:56 You sure you want her seeing those? Apr 14 21:37:12 If it will make you feel better, yes Apr 14 21:37:34 I'm not sure it'd make her feel anything but embarrassment... Apr 14 21:38:08 Maybe just tell her about them then Apr 14 21:39:39 * Morgan nods Apr 14 21:39:41 maybe Apr 14 21:40:02 It would stop her thinking you are very straightlaced Apr 14 21:40:10 there is that... Apr 14 21:40:18 * Molly smiles Apr 14 21:41:04 Perhaps I will just say you have done several sketches of me that have that same impact when you look at them Apr 14 21:41:32 if you wish, aye Apr 14 21:41:44 Do you think that will help? Apr 14 21:41:52 I don't know... we can but try Apr 14 21:42:01 * Molly nods Apr 14 21:42:37 And I will reassure her that I have already seen it and I do not need her to be concerned that I will see it and be upset or hurt Apr 14 21:42:46 * Morgan nods Apr 14 21:42:49 thank you my love Apr 14 21:43:04 It is no problem, liebling Apr 14 21:44:42 Inga needs to know that there are always going to be things that come up as we go forward like this, but I did not go into any of this in the dark about it Apr 14 21:45:17 * Morgan nods Apr 14 21:45:39 They're rather suffering the lack of privacy at the moment. I doubt we'll see them at all tomorrow evening Apr 14 21:45:47 * Molly smiles Apr 14 21:47:14 Should we encourage them to stay at the house I gave them as the wedding gift? It's less practical now we are not settling in Innesbruck, but it will serve them well if what they need is an empty house to themselves? Apr 14 21:50:03 It might an idea... Apr 14 21:50:11 * Molly nods, smiling Apr 14 21:50:35 We will do that then. And you can I can share our house with our son, your Father and Brother Apr 14 21:50:43 * Morgan nods Apr 14 21:50:45 alright blossom Apr 14 21:50:50 * Morgan checks the time Apr 14 21:51:06 I should get ready for dinner Apr 14 21:51:27 I might make a start on HeinzHarolds sketch while you do Apr 14 21:51:35 * Molly nods Apr 14 21:51:58 A fine idea, liebling. *she looks at him* All better now? Apr 14 21:52:05 * Morgan nods Apr 14 21:52:08 thank you my love Apr 14 21:52:31 * Molly puts a hand on his cheek before kissing him softly Apr 14 21:52:51 You are welcome. Easing your burdens is one of my favourite things do Apr 14 21:52:56 To do* Apr 14 21:53:00 * Morgan nods Apr 14 21:53:08 I am very lucky to have you Apr 14 21:53:20 * Molly smiles Apr 14 21:53:35 I rather think it is I lucky to have you Apr 14 21:53:49 * Morgan shrugs Apr 14 21:54:30 * Molly goes to get ready for dinner Apr 14 21:54:46 * Morgan sits on the couch, starting the sketch, singing quietly to himself Apr 14 22:00:39 * Molly has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 14 22:25:04 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 14 22:27:28 *dinner is wild boar, perfectly cooked, and many congratulations are given. The meal is cheerful, and rather than port and cigars Verity wants to show them the wedding iconographs in the painting room, so they walk through the corridors towards it. Molly looks a little distracted, and Edward is very chatty with Verity, walking with her on his arm Apr 14 22:28:04 [whats wrong my love?] Apr 14 22:28:53 [Nothing is wrong. I was thinking about the first time I saw this room and we had a discussion about having children, that is all] Apr 14 22:29:46 [How things have changed...] Apr 14 22:30:25 [Mmhmm. I was telling you about the herbs and having started them the week you asked me to be your mistress, just in case!] Apr 14 22:34:05 *Adalbrecht opens the door* Apr 14 22:34:16 [I wonder how differently things would have gone if I'd known and acted on that information] Apr 14 22:35:25 * MollyK shivers a little, glancing at him a moment [I am not sure, but if I start thinking about that I will be very distracted very quickly!] Apr 14 22:35:42 * Morgan smiles slightly Apr 14 22:36:11 * MollyK closes her eyes a moment, breathing in deeply though her nose Apr 14 22:37:54 *Verity leads them to the wall where all the recent paintings are. The most recent had been him and Edward in uniform, March '64. Now there is a gap, and then the ten iconographs from the wedding* Apr 14 22:39:21 V: Dear boy, would you like to show these to Edward? Apr 14 22:40:06 * Morgan nods, going over to them and pointing Apr 14 22:40:27 this one was at my wedding... then this one was at my wedding... this one here, now, that one was at my wedding... Apr 14 22:40:58 E: *he looks at them, smiling* It looks like a beautiful day Apr 14 22:41:32 It was, actually... now, I don't want to shock you, but this one... you'll never guess when that was taken... Apr 14 22:41:53 *this makes them laugh* Apr 14 22:42:11 E: *he nods sadly* I wish I could have been there Apr 14 22:42:49 * Morgan puts his arm around his brother, pointing to one of Morgan, Molly and Varick Apr 14 22:43:25 You ever heard the superstition that these things capture your soul? Apr 14 22:43:45 E: I have. They believe it in Graben Apr 14 22:43:52 * Morgan nods Apr 14 22:44:18 the second this one was taken, Varick dropped to the ground shrieking that his soul had been stolen... and the only way to restore it was with chocolate cake Apr 14 22:44:53 *Edward laughs at this* Did you let him have some? Apr 14 22:45:11 obviously, can't have him charging about with no soul Apr 14 22:46:01 *Edward nods, pointing to the one of Molly sat pinching her lip by the window* I like the light and shadow in this one Apr 14 22:46:18 * Morgan nods Apr 14 22:46:35 He had a very good eye... and a stonker of a lisp Apr 14 22:46:51 * MollyK is now known as Edward Apr 14 22:47:00 Unusual Apr 14 22:47:30 * Morgan nods Apr 14 22:48:12 This one would make a good painting Apr 14 22:49:39 speaking of which... I was wondering if you'd use one of my sketches as a basis for a painting... for HeinzHarolds ma Apr 14 22:49:51 * Edward nods Apr 14 22:50:12 I could do that, but I would need your help with the correct colours Apr 14 22:53:02 * Morgan nods Apr 14 22:53:58 I will pack some things and we can start on it tomorrow Apr 14 22:54:11 * Morgan nods Apr 14 22:54:17 thank you, I appreciate that Apr 14 22:54:26 *Molly is looking at the wall, but does look a little distracted* Apr 14 22:55:17 No problem *he glances at Molly* So, Schwesterlein, what was on your mind in this one for him to capture such a pretty expression? Apr 14 22:56:29 *Molly blushes, glancing at Morgan* Uhh... I was thinking of the upcoming kiss at the end of the ceremony Apr 14 22:56:56 *Adalbrecht and Verity just smile* Apr 14 22:58:26 * Edward watches her with a little amusement "I would think of that often, if I was you. It gives you a certain radiance" Apr 14 22:59:04 * Morgan coughs Apr 14 22:59:05 girly Apr 14 22:59:13 * Edward laughs Apr 14 23:00:09 *Molly just smiles* Apr 14 23:01:06 V: In this gap in between we are going to have a portrait of Dietlinde and Jana, and then after the wedding pictures we are going to see about having one of Florrie Apr 14 23:02:23 * Morgan blinks rapidly Apr 14 23:02:49 *Molly moves to his side protectively* Apr 14 23:03:05 * Morgan nods slowly Apr 14 23:03:30 *Adalbrecht looks a little surprised by it. Edward doesn't give anything away* Apr 14 23:04:25 I'll work with the painter... I'd rather it not be one of those idealised style that people often have of people that have been lost Apr 14 23:04:45 V: We were going to wait until it was almost finished and ready to go up, but I thought you would all be keen to know Apr 14 23:06:17 A: That is a good idea, Morgan Apr 14 23:07:28 I have them occasionally. You'll be hard pushed to get Florrie to sit for one... Apr 14 23:08:05 A: We used to say the same about you Apr 14 23:08:52 I can't say that surprises me Apr 14 23:09:16 *Molly to Verity* I am sure both will come out wonderfully and will be precious additions to the wall Apr 14 23:10:30 *Verity smiles* I am glad you think so. And then in time we will put up some of your sons and daughters too Apr 14 23:11:35 going to need a _lot_ of space Apr 14 23:11:57 Or an extra room! Apr 14 23:12:40 * Morgan nods Apr 14 23:14:03 *Adalbrecht is the first to suggest port and cigars, but Molly says she needs to pack for the morning, and Edward says he will walk her up* Apr 14 23:17:15 ((Goes up or stays?)) Apr 14 23:17:45 ((stays)) Apr 14 23:18:32 *Verity hugs him before going to bed, and Adalbrecht gives him port* Apr 14 23:18:37 * Edward is now known as Adalbrecht Apr 14 23:19:04 How are you all tonight? Apr 14 23:20:09 * Morgan nods Apr 14 23:20:23 we're alright... you looked somewhat surprised at what mother said Apr 14 23:20:43 I was not expecting her to spring it on the three of you like that Apr 14 23:23:24 * Morgan nods Apr 14 23:23:54 Well, she wouldn't know why it would be a problem for Edward... *he smiles slightly* you're going to adore Florrie Apr 14 23:24:27 * Adalbrecht nods Apr 14 23:24:33 I am sure we will Apr 14 23:24:51 * Morgan nods Apr 14 23:24:58 could do with practicing your Avalonian... Apr 14 23:25:06 * Adalbrecht groans Apr 14 23:25:10 If I must Apr 14 23:25:35 you must Apr 14 23:25:50 * Adalbrecht nods Apr 14 23:26:16 Are you sure you want the portrait on the wall? Apr 14 23:36:15 * Morgan nods Apr 14 23:36:22 she was my wife... its right that she is there Apr 14 23:36:33 * Adalbrecht nods, sipping his port Apr 14 23:37:09 It'll be strange, seeing Jana and Florrie so close together... Apr 14 23:37:22 * Adalbrecht nods Apr 14 23:37:26 Yes it will Apr 14 23:41:04 * Adalbrecht finishes his port "Molly mentioned you are going on ahead tomorrow. I will have the coach aim to get us there around five" Apr 14 23:41:22 * Morgan nods Apr 14 23:41:43 she wants time to make sure the things she implemented don't need adjusting. She wants to impress you. Apr 14 23:42:06 She already impresses me Apr 14 23:42:56 I think its important that you see how competent she is Apr 14 23:43:13 * Adalbrecht nods Apr 14 23:44:04 She is very competent already in the things I most value. Despite her shock about the painting, she was immediately very enthusiastic and kind to your Mother Apr 14 23:44:39 * Morgan nods Apr 14 23:44:49 I think she was more concerned with how I'd react Apr 14 23:45:48 You have discussed this before though? Apr 14 23:46:25 its different to us instigating it, though... Apr 14 23:46:38 * Adalbrecht nods Apr 14 23:46:51 Your Mother felt it was important Apr 14 23:47:20 * Morgan nods Apr 14 23:48:46 * Adalbrecht nods Apr 14 23:49:06 I will leave you to your night, and see you in Innesbruck if not before Apr 14 23:49:23 * Morgan nods Apr 14 23:49:25 goodnight Apr 14 23:49:38 Goodnight, Morgan *Adalbrecht goes* Apr 14 23:50:15 * Morgan heads off to the Veisgraf wing Apr 14 23:50:50 *Molly is already in bed and asleep when he gets there, a novel open and dropped in the bed. Her fingers are on her lower lip* Apr 14 23:51:39 * Morgan smiles slightly, taking the book from her before getting undressed for bed Apr 14 23:52:01 *Molly barely even stirs* Apr 14 23:53:12 * Morgan smiles before trying to settle down to sleep Apr 14 23:57:31 * Adalbrecht has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
