**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Apr 16 00:01:52 2022 Apr 16 00:01:52 * MollyK is just quiet a moment, occassionally her thighs tense as the little aftershocks run through her Apr 16 00:02:19 * Morgan keeps an arm around her, holding her close Apr 16 00:03:05 * MollyK fits her fingers between his, still breathing deeply Apr 16 00:03:14 That... was incredible Apr 16 00:03:23 I'm glad you approved Apr 16 00:03:33 * MollyK nods Apr 16 00:04:05 When you talk that way, it feels like my mind peaks as well as my body... Apr 16 00:04:27 what way? Apr 16 00:06:07 When you tell me what to do, when you let me know you are in control *she shivers again* Apr 16 00:06:42 * Morgan nods Apr 16 00:06:46 duly noted Apr 16 00:07:43 * MollyK turns a little again, once more kissing him softly Apr 16 00:07:53 You are so good to me... Apr 16 00:09:04 I'd like to say that was entirely for your benefit but... I'm afraid not Apr 16 00:09:21 No? Apr 16 00:09:41 * MollyK gently rubs him between them Apr 16 00:10:48 No... I enjoy doing that to you, feeling you out of control Apr 16 00:11:12 * MollyK whimpers a little at this Apr 16 00:11:17 You do? Apr 16 00:11:45 * Morgan nods Apr 16 00:12:27 I like that you like it Apr 16 00:12:34 * Morgan nods Apr 16 00:14:08 * MollyK squeezes him gently Apr 16 00:14:18 It surprises you that you like it? Apr 16 00:14:42 somewhat, aye Apr 16 00:15:00 * MollyK nods Apr 16 00:15:31 Do you need me to reassure you at all? Apr 16 00:16:29 please Apr 16 00:16:49 * MollyK squeezes his hand Apr 16 00:17:53 That was perfect, I am over the moon and I feel amazing. You were magnificent, and just... I will remember that as long as I draw breath. Thank you for how well you pleased me, Apr 16 00:18:25 * Morgan nods, leaning forward and kissing her neck Apr 16 00:19:01 * MollyK tilts her head to give him more space to Apr 16 00:19:56 Would you let me be good to you, or do you wish to wait until we are at Innesbruck? Apr 16 00:20:33 We'd need to find somewhere... Apr 16 00:21:02 As quiet as it is, anywhere off the road should be fine Apr 16 00:21:24 * Morgan nods Apr 16 00:21:34 * Morgan tries to find somewhere Apr 16 00:24:16 *they go due north, about five minutes off the road, the trees all looking much the same, not the schwarzenwald here so far north and east of the black bark. It is not dark here in the daylight. It's very quiet, no tracks or signs of people having come through this way Apr 16 00:24:59 * Morgan dismounts, helping Molly down before tethering the horses Apr 16 00:25:24 * MollyK is still a little unsteady, but smiling warmly Apr 16 00:26:14 You look a little wobbly my love Apr 16 00:26:21 * MollyK smiles Apr 16 00:26:41 My head is light, swimming like a fish Apr 16 00:27:13 perhaps you should sit for a while Apr 16 00:27:33 * MollyK shrugs Apr 16 00:27:52 I want only to please you, in whatever way you wish Apr 16 00:28:53 * Morgan nods, moving her against a tree and picking her up Apr 16 00:29:35 * MollyK looks at him adoringly, again kissing him gently, her arms around his neck Apr 16 00:30:18 * Morgan undoes his placket, before moving the fabric of her trousers, pressing himself against her Apr 16 00:31:22 * MollyK blushes a little, parting her thighs further and tilting towards him Apr 16 00:31:56 * Morgan thrusts into her, lowering her slightly to achieve as much depth as he can, moaning deeply Apr 16 00:33:00 *she moans too, purposefully clenching her muscles around him "Please, liebling, please have me as you wish" Apr 16 00:33:59 * Morgan nods, winding his fingers into her hair and pulling before building into an energetic rhythm Apr 16 00:35:14 * MollyK moans gently at each thrust "yes, that's good, please, be selfish with me. Focus on you" Apr 16 00:35:57 * Morgan pulls her head back, thrusting into her with some force, intent on achieving his own release Apr 16 00:37:11 * MollyK holds onto his shoulders, keeping her internal muscles held tightly around his member Apr 16 00:37:55 * Morgan groans deeply, swelling before loosing his seed within her Apr 16 00:38:50 * MollyK makes gentle soothing noises near his ear, sounding pleased and loving Apr 16 00:40:19 * Morgan gently lets her down Apr 16 00:41:05 * MollyK smiles, giving him one of the cream flannels from her trouser pocket Apr 16 00:41:51 * Morgan takes it, cleaning himself up Apr 16 00:42:43 * MollyK carefully does likewise before pocketing it. She looks at him fondly Apr 16 00:42:54 You make me very happy, my love Apr 16 00:43:35 likewise Apr 16 00:44:03 Would you like to eat whilst we are here? Apr 16 00:45:41 * Morgan smirks for a moment Apr 16 00:45:44 aye, I think so Apr 16 00:45:56 * MollyK looks confused Apr 16 00:46:12 Why are you smirking, my love? Apr 16 00:46:28 * MollyK starts to get the food out of the saddle bag Apr 16 00:46:42 tonight, when we lie down at the end of the day, I'll show you... Apr 16 00:47:06 * MollyK still looks a little confused, but smiles Apr 16 00:47:14 As you wish, my love Apr 16 00:48:05 * MollyK has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Apr 16 00:48:22 * Morgan has quit (Quit: Leaving) Apr 16 14:08:54 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 16 14:09:13 * MollyK has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Apr 16 14:09:50 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 16 14:11:12 * MollyK sorts their food, sitting on a fallen tree.

She looks very content Apr 16 16:17:23 * Morgan nods Apr 16 16:17:24 wise Apr 16 16:17:42 * MollyK nods Apr 16 16:17:54 I am keen to see how things are there Apr 16 16:18:57 * Morgan nods Apr 16 16:19:06 you are concerned that you instructions won't have been followed? Apr 16 16:20:54 * MollyK shakes her head Apr 16 16:21:40 I am more concerned that it will not have worked as I hoped, though when I last reviewed the ledgers in August everything looked well Apr 16 16:21:55 * Morgan nods Apr 16 16:22:02 I hope its continued in that vein Apr 16 16:22:17 As do I. I would hate to have disappointed you Apr 16 16:25:15 I don't see that happening Apr 16 16:28:52 * MollyK nods Apr 16 16:29:11 I hope the house has been well kept Apr 16 16:29:19 * Morgan nods Apr 16 16:29:25 that'd be useful Apr 16 16:29:44 It will be a little sad too? Apr 16 16:31:47 why do you say that? Apr 16 16:32:11 We were excited when we discovered you are the Freiarr, that we could make that our home and nurture the Freiarrdom whilst living quite simply Apr 16 16:32:55 * Morgan nods Apr 16 16:33:25 it pained Edward, finding out about it... I thought it was because if he'd allowed Alarice to keep the child, it would have come to his child... but it wasn't Apr 16 16:33:35 No? Apr 16 16:33:48 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 16 16:34:23 * MollyK drinks some of the coffee Apr 16 16:34:27 He would've seen it as a better option than the one he chose Apr 16 16:34:38 * MollyK sighs Apr 16 16:34:44 He has a point Apr 16 16:35:19 All things that have only come to light because we did the digging... there's no value in dragging ourselves over those coals Apr 16 16:36:29 * MollyK nods a little Apr 16 16:39:01 We are where we are. Maybe this is not the way that would have made you and Edward happiest, maybe your relationship would have been better that way, but we are here now, and it could be so much worse than it is, couldn't it? Apr 16 16:40:14 I wonder if we'd ever have been so close had things taken a different path Apr 16 16:41:17 * MollyK tilts her head Apr 16 16:41:29 Are you closer than before you got married? Apr 16 16:43:04 * Morgan nods undoubtedly Apr 16 16:44:21 * MollyK nods Apr 16 16:44:55 The only people who could tell us are unlikely to do so, I suppose Apr 16 16:45:40 mother and father? Apr 16 16:45:45 * MollyK pulls apart a piece of bread, eating it slowly Apr 16 16:46:15 No, whether you could have been so close... only the Nibelungen might know Apr 16 16:46:33 * Morgan shrugs Apr 16 16:46:36 It doesn't matter Apr 16 16:47:28 No... it is what it is. Apr 16 16:47:57 * Morgan nods Apr 16 16:48:09 I am happy. Apr 16 16:48:39 * MollyK smiles, leaning against him a little Apr 16 16:48:46 That's what matters Apr 16 16:48:50 * Morgan nods Apr 16 16:48:51 indeed Apr 16 16:50:14 One day I am sure I will stop asking myself if you wouldn't be happier, if it wouldn't have been better for you... Apr 16 16:50:42 You don't think I ask the same of you and Seb? Apr 16 16:52:44 * MollyK frowns Apr 16 16:53:08 No, I cannot say I have ever thought you would be thinking that Apr 16 16:53:55 You should remember that... I have _seen_ how happy you are together in those other possibilities... Apr 16 16:56:53 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 16 16:58:50 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 16 16:59:35 That is difficult for you? Apr 16 17:00:01 I'd be lying if I said it wasn't Apr 16 17:00:10 * MollyK nods Apr 16 17:01:03 You are happy too there though. Your life without me would have been wonderful, all four of your sons are good men... Apr 16 17:02:01 It is definitely in hindsight that it is difficult... but looking at it, you would've been happier being someone's first love... not being put through the pain and difficulties being with me has caused you Apr 16 17:03:15 * MollyK sighs, watching a hopeful little robin Apr 16 17:04:19 I love being with you, liebes herz. It might have been easier with him, but then we have also seen times where it was simpler for us together too Apr 16 17:05:18 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:06:36 And you have dreamt the opposite too, being with me if I had lost Seb... Apr 16 17:06:52 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:06:55 aye Apr 16 17:08:38 Our choices and that of others have led us here. I am happy with you. Just because it is less simple than it might have been does not mean it doesn't have value beyond measure. We have fought for this. Apr 16 17:09:30 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:09:31 yes we have Apr 16 17:10:19 You do not need to be jealous of him, my love. Apr 16 17:10:28 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:10:29 I know Apr 16 17:10:39 But you are? Apr 16 17:11:24 not noticeably, no Apr 16 17:19:09 * MollyK smiles Apr 16 17:19:41 Good. Even in those dreams, I want you to remember that I _choose_ you, every moment of every day. Apr 16 17:20:12 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:21:48 * MollyK watches him a moment, smiling a little, before crumbling up a little bread for the robin Apr 16 17:25:23 * Morgan watches her fondly Apr 16 17:26:12 * MollyK tries to lure the little bird closer Apr 16 17:26:40 * Morgan sits still, sipping his coffee Apr 16 17:28:00 * MollyK gets the bird on her boot, then hand feeds it with a smile Apr 16 17:30:00 where have you picked that up? Apr 16 17:30:19 Picked up what, my love? Apr 16 17:30:29 This way with animals Apr 16 17:30:58 It's just being patience and gentle, that's all Apr 16 17:31:53 * MollyK glances at him, smirking "Even the most grumpy of animals are susceptible to such manipulations" Apr 16 17:32:07 * Morgan nods slowly Apr 16 17:32:09 cant argue with that Apr 16 17:32:35 No _you_ really can't *she sticks her tongue out at him* Apr 16 17:33:31 * Morgan rolls his eyes Apr 16 17:33:37 You're spending too much time with HeinzHarold Apr 16 17:33:48 * MollyK giggles Apr 16 17:33:56 Maybe he's rubbing off on me! Apr 16 17:35:17 horrific thought Apr 16 17:35:29 * MollyK laughs Apr 16 17:35:32 Oh yes Apr 16 17:37:43 And then he would be beaten black and blue Apr 16 17:38:10 before I'd gotten my hands on him... Apr 16 17:38:18 * MollyK nods Apr 16 17:38:27 That would just be Inga Apr 16 17:38:52 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:40:13 * the robin flies away* Apr 16 17:40:22 We should be going too Apr 16 17:40:48 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:40:51 aye, best had Apr 16 17:41:11 I will put my clothes back on Apr 16 17:41:35 If you wish Apr 16 17:42:19 * MollyK smiles Apr 16 17:42:48 It is not very warm... Apr 16 17:44:44 no, it isn't Apr 16 17:46:15 * MollyK goes back to the horses, taking off the cloak so she can put her blouse back on over the short shift Apr 16 17:46:39 Would you like to ride together on the other horse a little while? Apr 16 17:46:51 If you wish blossom Apr 16 17:49:22 I thought the closeness may feel pleasing for you Apr 16 17:49:56 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:52:32 * MollyK finishes redressing, smiling Apr 16 17:52:56 And I trust you will feel no need to distract yourself by distracting me now? Apr 16 17:53:11 I think you'll find that was entirely your own doing Apr 16 17:53:24 * MollyK shakes her head Apr 16 17:53:31 It was not! Apr 16 17:53:40 * MollyK is smiling Apr 16 17:55:00 * Morgan shrugs, untethering the horses and switching them around before pulling himself into the saddle Apr 16 17:55:48 I believe the one who started it all this morning was you talking about your dream of using your mouth upon me... Apr 16 17:56:07 * MollyK holds her hand up again Apr 16 17:57:08 * Morgan helps her up Apr 16 17:57:11 You wished to know... Apr 16 17:57:41 * MollyK nods Apr 16 17:57:45 Indeed Apr 16 17:58:03 How much did they see? Apr 16 17:59:05 my parents? Well... you were _almost_ at your peak when the door opened Apr 16 17:59:27 * MollyK gets comfortable, taking the reins Apr 16 17:59:36 Oh no, how embarrassing! Apr 16 18:00:41 * Morgan nods Apr 16 18:00:42 quite Apr 16 18:01:08 Were they very angry? Apr 16 18:02:00 father was furious. Mother seemed to think he was overreacting and it was good that you were getting enjoyment from it Apr 16 18:02:49 * MollyK covers her eyes with her hand Apr 16 18:03:12 Oh gosh, I don't know which reaction is worse?! *she laughs* Apr 16 18:03:50 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Apr 16 18:03:51 I know Apr 16 18:04:54 That was probably just a nightmare... Apr 16 18:05:12 * Morgan shrugs Apr 16 18:06:52 That could not have happened though? Apr 16 18:07:32 You don't think so? Apr 16 18:07:44 * MollyK thinks Apr 16 18:08:09 I suppose that depends on if you were simply teasing me about doing it Apr 16 18:09:01 in my dream you required a demonstration.... Apr 16 18:09:40 I would never have been brave enough to ask for one... I think! Apr 16 18:11:15 * Morgan chuckles Apr 16 18:11:17 possibly Apr 16 18:13:10 * MollyK smiles, closing her eyes Apr 16 18:13:44 I was surprised enough when it did happen Apr 16 18:13:53 * Morgan nods Apr 16 18:13:54 I recall Apr 16 18:16:30 * MollyK nods Apr 16 18:16:46 Mmhmm... that was a happy day Apr 16 18:16:52 * Morgan nods Apr 16 18:19:12 I am glad I married you, my love. I have never regretted that choice, Apr 16 18:19:37 good Apr 16 18:21:18 Have you ever regretted marrying me? Apr 16 18:21:35 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 16 18:21:52 I regretted that I had not made it clear quite how strongly I feel for you, though Apr 16 18:22:31 That was not on you, my love. That was about me, and about what I thought was possible for us given the past Apr 16 18:24:14 even so... it took my father pointing it out. I should've seen it Apr 16 18:24:54 You could not have known, my love. I tried not to pain you with it. Apr 16 18:25:44 * Morgan nods, looking round Apr 16 18:27:07 *There's no one there, it's all peaceful* Apr 16 18:29:34 Have I said too much? Apr 16 18:29:45 No blossom Apr 16 18:30:50 * MollyK nods Apr 16 18:31:20 Good. I am glad we got to where we are, and for your Father's unusual perceptivness Apr 16 18:31:31 * Morgan smiles Apr 16 18:31:38 aye, me too Apr 16 18:33:46 * MollyK nods, nestling further back a little. It doesn't take long before he notices she has started to drift off Apr 16 18:34:08 * Morgan holds her steady and allows her to snooze Apr 16 18:37:27 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Apr 16 20:14:40 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 16 20:17:11 *the quiet gives him time to think about the present situations, about himself and Edward, and Edward and Mina, going to Capperlucia, the future of running two Grafdoms, having children with her, her and Seb, and all manner of other things. She sleeps like this quite a while, stirring and an hour later Apr 16 20:17:21 Oh, sorry my love Apr 16 20:17:36 its fine blossom, you clearly needed to sleep Apr 16 20:19:56 Mmhmm... you tired me out Apr 16 20:20:09 I'd say I'm sorry.... but I'm not Apr 16 20:20:16 No? Apr 16 20:20:23 no Apr 16 20:21:33 You like that you can do such to me? Apr 16 20:24:07 of course I do Apr 16 20:24:15 * MollyK nods Apr 16 20:24:31 I will have to try harder to exhaust you so Apr 16 20:25:19 I look forward to it Apr 16 20:25:46 * MollyK nods Apr 16 20:26:13 You said that was your last dream... what did you dream before that? Apr 16 20:26:39 the one where I had asked you to be my mistress and you needed time to think about it Apr 16 20:26:56 Oh! What happened? Apr 16 20:29:38 uhhhh, Lady Torrington told me off for being in a bad mood, Jaeger and deBurgh announced their betrothal, I was rude, you appeared... we talked, you wanted to be my mistress Apr 16 20:36:36 * MollyK nods Apr 16 20:36:49 That must have been a relief Apr 16 20:37:36 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:38:21 Were you in a bad mood because of me? Apr 16 20:41:12 partly I suppose Apr 16 20:41:36 But it all turned out happily in the end? Apr 16 20:41:45 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:41:49 aye Apr 16 20:42:38 It is nice that you dream happy things of me too Apr 16 20:42:54 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:44:42 It turns out what happened in the carriage on our first trip here had nothing to do with being in a carriage! Apr 16 20:46:08 No... apparently not Apr 16 20:46:38 We should have known then, perhaps Apr 16 20:46:55 known what? Apr 16 20:49:15 About our... unconventionality Apr 16 20:49:50 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:51:10 I do like it though Apr 16 20:51:26 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:51:27 good Apr 16 20:55:47 * MollyK turns to look at him, smiling Apr 16 20:57:00 I wish we could be like this forever Apr 16 20:58:05 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:58:24 Bit difficult eating dinner at court on a horse though Apr 16 20:58:31 * MollyK giggles Apr 16 20:58:58 Yes it would. And I certainly couldn't give you a child up here! Apr 16 20:59:36 No, that is very true Apr 16 21:01:21 * MollyK nods again, watching the road ahead. The scenery is much the same as before, familiar to Morgan from early childhood visits back and forth to his uncle in Innesbruck Apr 16 21:03:07 * MollyK is quiet, just seeming content Apr 16 21:04:06 * Morgan looks around Apr 16 21:05:12 *it's starting to look like rain will be along soon, the clouds grey above Apr 16 21:05:29 * Morgan sighs Apr 16 21:05:34 looks like we're going to get caught in that Apr 16 21:05:39 * MollyK pulls her hood up Apr 16 21:05:53 Better now than whilst we were off the road Apr 16 21:06:06 * Morgan nods Apr 16 21:06:07 aye Apr 16 21:08:04 *it does start to rain, for quite some time. She doesn't complain at all, and her body in front of him him shields his chest and most of his face from the worst of it Apr 16 21:09:50 * Morgan grumbles about the rain Apr 16 21:11:01 * MollyK nods a little Apr 16 21:11:22 I would rather be with you in the rain than with anyone else in the warm sunshine Apr 16 21:11:31 * Morgan nods Apr 16 21:11:38 I'd rather be with you in the sunshine, though Apr 16 21:11:45 * MollyK giggles Apr 16 21:12:15 In the secret garden at the golden lantern, in the heat of July Apr 16 21:13:25 * Morgan nods Apr 16 21:13:27 quite Apr 16 21:15:09 **The rain stops just before the toll bridge, the sky lighter as the weather moves west. Molly looks around, but there is no longer an old man waiting here to take tolls from the travellers* Apr 16 21:15:42 well... thats an improvement Apr 16 21:16:23 Could it just be the rain? Apr 16 21:16:32 Could be I suppose Apr 16 21:18:07 Or maybe... *she smiles slightly* ... just maybe... you have made a difference here Apr 16 21:18:17 * Morgan shrugs Apr 16 21:18:21 we'll see I suppose Apr 16 21:21:30 * MollyK nods. They do see a difference as they ride closer, chimneys smoking in cottages where firewood has been found, fields neatly harvested ready for the next year. Fences and walls that he and the others spent time working on themselves standing strong. Things look organised, the occassional person they see looking cheerful and fed. Apr 16 21:22:11 * Morgan nods to himself, looking round Apr 16 21:28:40 *Everyting looks good. People wave to them as they go by. Soon they reach their house, riding up the drive. All the plants and hedges look neat and cared for. The white building with its archway into the courtyard seems in good repair* Apr 16 21:29:09 this isn't looking bad Apr 16 21:30:37 No, it isn't Apr 16 21:31:32 * Morgan nods Apr 16 21:33:52 *Through the archway and into the courtyard, they hear children's laughter. Jacques, the boy whose porteish magic controls the mirrors, and Rickon, the lively and outspoken eight year old son of Hildegarde (and therefore Dietlinde's cousin once removed) are playing with wooden sword whilst Walder watches his son and the other boy and brushes down Apr 16 21:33:53 Varick's pony Krestonosets. Apr 16 21:36:46 Things have changed somewhat since we were here last Apr 16 21:37:26 * MollyK nods Apr 16 21:37:40 It is nice to see the children playing Apr 16 21:37:52 * Morgan nods Apr 16 21:37:54 aye it is Apr 16 21:38:43 *Walder spots them, encouraging the boys to come to stand nicely to greet them Apr 16 21:40:09 W: Afternoon, Milord, Milady. *he bows, the boys next to him doing likewise. Jacques is small for his age and dark, whereas Rickon is taller and blonde, taking on the family hair of many blonde shades* Apr 16 21:40:40 Walder... how is everyone? Apr 16 21:44:14 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 16 21:53:00 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 16 21:53:11 [21:44:00] MollyK: We have chickens now? Apr 16 21:54:53 J: We could show you the chickens, milady? R: We could tell you all their names too Apr 16 21:55:28 [21:40:48] MollyK: *Walder helps Molly down* All good, Milord. Theresa and Hildegarde are sorting out dinner, Heinrich and Ghalen ((the young sheriff with a crush on Molly who is the son of Bauer the overseer in Koln)) are visiting some tenants, Karl and Ulath ((the former criminals who nearly killed Sorgi but now work here)) are round the back Apr 16 21:55:28 cleaning out the chickens. Apr 16 21:56:12 * Morgan smiles slightly Apr 16 21:57:02 * MollyK smiles at the two boys "Oh yes, and I will tell you about the most awful hen that has ever lived..." *she looks to Morgan* "is that alright, my love?" Apr 16 21:58:08 of course blossom Apr 16 21:59:04 * MollyK kisses his cheek before going with the boys around the side of the house. Walder watches her go, taking the horse's reins. Apr 16 21:59:11 * MollyK is now known as Walder Apr 16 21:59:22 'Er ladyship looks happy Apr 16 21:59:32 * Morgan nods Apr 16 21:59:35 been trying my best Apr 16 22:00:57 * Walder nods. Movement catches his eye. Hildegarde is stood on the doorstep shaking dust from a towel. She looks up at them with those eyes so much like Dietlinde's Apr 16 22:01:50 * Morgan looks over, inclining his head Apr 16 22:01:59 Take the horses and get them rubbed down? Apr 16 22:02:46 * Morgan nods Apr 16 22:02:47 please Apr 16 22:04:32 H: *she smiles at him. Walder takes the palominos to the stable. The conversation he and Molly had whilst having lunch about the life he might have had here with Dietlinde comes to mind as he looks at her cousin at the entrance to his house* Apr 16 22:05:22 * Morgan makes his way over to her Apr 16 22:05:57 * Walder is now known as Hildegarde Apr 16 22:06:09 Did you get caught in that rain? Apr 16 22:06:31 * Morgan nods Apr 16 22:06:36 predictably Apr 16 22:07:21 Do you want to come in? Everywhere is ready, just the kitchen is a bit untidy Apr 16 22:08:29 * Morgan nods Apr 16 22:08:58 I suspect Molly will be a little while telling the boys about some chickens we encountered on our journey Apr 16 22:09:05 * Hildegarde leads the way to said kitchen Apr 16 22:09:15 I just hope Rickon is behaving Apr 16 22:09:36 how has he adjusted to your new circumstances? Apr 16 22:09:47 * Hildegarde sighs Apr 16 22:09:51 Mostly good Apr 16 22:09:59 bit of a clash of wills? Apr 16 22:11:05 * Hildegarde nods Apr 16 22:11:23 They like each other, but Rickon has never had a man around Apr 16 22:11:37 * Morgan nods Apr 16 22:11:46 I imagine that is difficult for him... and you. Apr 16 22:12:05 * Hildegarde nods Apr 16 22:12:28 It's what I expected, we just have to all be patient with each other Apr 16 22:12:37 * Morgan nods Apr 16 22:12:49 and Heinrich? Apr 16 22:13:21 He cares greatly about Rickon Apr 16 22:13:44 * Morgan nods Apr 16 22:13:48 good Apr 16 22:14:12 * Hildegarde nods, letting him in the kitchen Apr 16 22:14:17 Coffee? Apr 16 22:14:46 please. We had some after leaving but... it wasn't so pleasant after a couple of hours ride Apr 16 22:15:08 * Hildegarde nods, getting him some Apr 16 22:19:28 * Hildegarde has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 16 22:52:10 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 16 22:58:27 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 16 23:13:46 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 16 23:13:50 [23:05:26] MollyK: Heinrich will be back before long, you must be keen to get caught up? Apr 16 23:13:56 * MollyK is now known as Hildegarde Apr 16 23:15:01 We're keen to know how the things Molly put in place are going... if they've yielded the results we hoped Apr 16 23:15:30 * Hildegarde makes herself some coffee too. It's the coffee from Cafe Kaffee Apr 16 23:16:07 The people are all doing much better. Rickon and I have a cow again back at the farm Apr 16 23:16:52 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:17:04 thats good... Heinrich is treating you well? Apr 16 23:17:39 * Hildegarde nods Apr 16 23:17:49 Yes he is, he's very loving Apr 16 23:18:00 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:18:01 good Apr 16 23:20:46 How are things with you? Apr 16 23:21:58 uhhh, very good... I'm sure you've been kept apprised of the changes? Apr 16 23:23:53 The title and the future of going to Gottkirchen instead of living here, yes Apr 16 23:24:21 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:24:26 been a busy little while Apr 16 23:25:16 It's a shame you couldn't be there for Dietlinde's Memorial service Apr 16 23:25:27 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:26:08 That would've been very difficult Apr 16 23:27:36 It's important to face the grief though Apr 16 23:27:55 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:28:02 I'm working through that Apr 16 23:28:26 * Hildegarde nods Apr 16 23:28:53 It comes up now and again, even seven years after Rickon's Father died Apr 16 23:29:12 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:29:25 I expect it always will Apr 16 23:29:32 * Hildegarde nods Apr 16 23:30:38 What is strange is what I've found since getting married again, sometimes Heinrich will do something, and I think "I must tell Martin about, he would find that funny" Apr 16 23:32:43 that must be difficult Apr 16 23:33:13 * Hildegarde sips her coffee "I do still miss him, like how he laughed, and how he held me, but... it's almost like it was someone else's life now. A lot has happened since then" Apr 16 23:34:01 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:34:17 We are different people now Apr 16 23:34:24 * Hildegarde nods Apr 16 23:36:06 That's how it goes. You have to still be able to live, and they are at peace. They aren't feeling jealous, or neglected. They're just at rest. Apr 16 23:36:30 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:37:28 And one day we will be gone too, and have that peace ourselves, and all our earthly concerns will be gone away. Apr 16 23:37:43 * Hildegarde sips her coffee Apr 16 23:39:52 * Morgan nods, smiling slightly Apr 16 23:41:45 That's what I think heaven is going to be like anyway. It'll be like those times you're with those you love, and you forget to think anything because you're just calm and enjoying the love and peace. It's like one long sunny lie in the grass Apr 16 23:42:36 You're a romantic at heart Apr 16 23:42:43 * Hildegarde nods Apr 16 23:43:37 Yes, I am. Love endures so much that willpower and determination alone can't. I wouldn't have survived so long in such poverty raising Rickon without that love Apr 16 23:44:01 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:44:50 What about you? What do you think heaven will be like? Apr 16 23:45:40 I don't know... peaceful is about as far as my thinking gets Apr 16 23:45:51 * Hildegarde nods Apr 16 23:46:07 I hope we both have a long time before we have to find out Apr 16 23:47:15 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:47:17 as do I Apr 16 23:50:27 * Hildegarde smiles Apr 16 23:50:39 Did Sascha and Otto tell you their news? Apr 16 23:51:48 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:51:50 they did Apr 16 23:52:33 I'm pleased for them, it's given them some motivation to start letting her rest Apr 16 23:52:43 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:52:59 I think you're right there Apr 16 23:54:34 It's nice that they have something to look forward too, and hopefully in time we will have a new cousin for them Apr 16 23:56:42 oh? You hope for another? Apr 16 23:57:08 * Hildegarde nods Apr 16 23:57:17 Yes, we would like to Apr 16 23:58:33 What about you, Is the pitter-patter of tiny feet on your mind? Apr 16 23:58:57 * Morgan smiles slightly Apr 16 23:59:11 We have too much to do for that to be a reality just yet Apr 16 23:59:46 That's a shame
