**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Apr 23 16:41:44 2022 Apr 23 16:41:44 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 23 16:44:58 * MollyK has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Apr 23 16:45:03 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 23 16:45:15 * MollyK has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Apr 23 16:45:25 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 23 16:46:09 * MollyK is now known as Edward Apr 23 16:47:11 * Edward is passing through the hall as Morgan does, inclining his head with a smirk Apr 23 16:47:37 shut up Apr 23 16:47:48 Did I speak? Apr 23 16:47:57 You were thinking too loudly... Apr 23 16:48:07 * Edward chuckles Apr 23 16:48:24 I hope I didn't ruin your afternoon Apr 23 16:48:37 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 23 16:48:54 No... realistically, first evening back, we don't expect to be left alone by anyone Apr 23 16:49:20 * Edward nods Apr 23 16:49:29 The life of a Freiarr Apr 23 16:49:42 * Morgan nods Apr 23 16:49:54 I suppose so Apr 23 16:52:45 Do I need to put out the word that nap time is time to leave you alone to discuss adult things? Apr 23 16:53:06 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 23 16:53:11 No, it'll calm down Apr 23 16:53:38 * Edward nods Apr 23 16:54:12 We should make for Koln the day after tomorrow. Are you taking Molly? Apr 23 16:54:22 * Morgan nods Apr 23 16:55:02 I think it may help Mina to have a woman on hand for her... and lets be honest, you me and father turning up en masse could be seen as a bit intimidating. Apr 23 16:55:20 * Edward nods Apr 23 16:55:50 I would imagine you find it uncomfortable to be parted from her too? Apr 23 16:56:02 * Morgan nods Apr 23 16:56:14 Yes... the nightmares are worse and... well, you remember what I was like last time Apr 23 16:56:25 * Edward nods Apr 23 16:56:31 I do Apr 23 16:57:12 Damn, I meant to speak to Mother about giving you the nightmare trap Apr 23 16:57:18 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 23 16:58:00 Once things are calmer, I'll tell you why I can't do that Apr 23 16:58:50 * Edward nods, hearing HH, Inga, and Claudia coming down the hall Apr 23 16:59:24 That saves me going looking for them Apr 23 17:00:20 * Edward nods, leaving him with them. They all seem cheerful Apr 23 17:03:20 *not much is said whilst they get mounted up on horses and get on the move. The ride to the overseers old house isn't too far, but most of the journey is Inga talking to Morgan about how nice the main house is, how nice Walder is* Apr 23 17:03:38 * Morgan chats with her happily Apr 23 17:05:21 *The littler house is so much nicer now that the first time Morgan saw it, the garden having been weeded. It's a good size, and well-built. They look at the building as they tie up the horses* Apr 23 17:05:41 * Edward is now known as HH Apr 23 17:06:07 This is our weddin' present then... *he nods, looking up at it* Apr 23 17:06:29 * Morgan nods Apr 23 17:08:44 Weren't expectin' to not be livin' in Innesbruck too, were ya? Apr 23 17:09:01 * Morgan smirks slightly Apr 23 17:09:12 get you tucked out the way, not bothering me y'mean? Apr 23 17:10:57 * HH nods Apr 23 17:11:41 Surprisingly, no Apr 23 17:13:01 I: It looks nice *she's smiling* Apr 23 17:13:43 They've done a decent job tidying it up Apr 23 17:13:58 I: wasn't it tidy? Apr 23 17:14:09 * HH tries to open the door Apr 23 17:14:35 It was overgrown, bit of a mess inside Apr 23 17:14:45 Got a key? Apr 23 17:15:30 * Morgan takes it from a pouch Apr 23 17:16:41 * HH takes it, unlocking the door and pushing it open Apr 23 17:18:29 * Morgan watches him Apr 23 17:19:46 *Inga goes to step in but HH picks her up, grinning as he carries her over the threshold whilst she tells him it isn't necessary. It brings back a memory of the cottage, a place he had planned and dealt with entirely in secret, how he'd taken Dietlinde to the clearing after the wedding. She had thought they were going to visit someone, but instead Apr 23 17:19:46 he had unlocked it whilst she watched with wide eyes, and he carried his bride over the threshold just as HH is doing Apr 23 17:20:54 * Morgan watches them before looking to the floor, rubbing his face briefly Apr 23 17:22:32 *Claudia watches him* $okay?$ Apr 23 17:23:15 * Morgan smiles slightly, nodding Apr 23 17:23:22 $just a memory$ Apr 23 17:24:43 *she nods* Apr 23 17:26:53 * HH walks around the house with his arm around Inga. The decoration is a bit gaudy, the furniture mismatched, but they seem very happy with the house. Apr 23 17:27:26 C, whispering: Going to want to catch him alone to hear this story of his morning Apr 23 17:28:02 * Morgan nods Apr 23 17:28:06 that bad? Apr 23 17:29:02 *Claudia grins* Oh yeah Apr 23 17:29:35 \/me nods Apr 23 17:33:24 * HH has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Apr 23 18:20:27 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 23 18:23:41 *they all go upstairs to look around up there. It's all tidy, even the room where the old overseer had drunk himself to death. He catches the faintest conversation between HH and Inga* Apr 23 18:23:45 * MollyK is now known as HH Apr 23 18:24:28 This would be a good nursery, little darlin' Apr 23 18:25:37 I: It has good light Apr 23 18:25:48 * Morgan smiles slightly, scratching his chin Apr 23 18:26:12 *Claudia must here them, because she makes a disgusted face at Morgan* Apr 23 18:26:25 $yuck$ Apr 23 18:26:45 $very.$ Apr 23 18:26:53 C:* Apr 23 18:28:16 $leave em be, they're happy$ Apr 23 18:29:19 C: $one day you'll both be off with your families. I know you'll both be happy. You deserve it$ Apr 23 18:29:59 $I've said before, you'll always have a home with us$ Apr 23 18:30:51 C: $Maybe, but don't count on it$ Apr 23 18:31:29 $Always, Claudia$ Apr 23 18:32:13 * HH and Inga are making eyes at each other Apr 23 18:32:36 C: give them a minute, I guess Apr 23 18:32:42 * Morgan nods Apr 23 18:32:55 aye, its a big moment for them. Want a look at the garden? Apr 23 18:33:12 * HH is now known as Claudia Apr 23 18:33:41 * Claudia goes with him, looking around the outdoor space Apr 23 18:34:09 First proper house together Apr 23 18:34:14 * Morgan nods Apr 23 18:35:34 figure it best they stay here while we're here... Apr 23 18:36:57 Keep them away from Heinrich? Apr 23 18:37:12 Thats the plan. Apr 23 18:37:59 Heinzharold hates him, and he hates rarely Apr 23 18:38:05 * Morgan nods Apr 23 18:38:38 I know. I think partly Heinrich got manipulated... you know how Alarice could be. Apr 23 18:40:59 I hear it started before the cheating, basically trying to get her to go further than she wanted, and making her feel guilty for wanting some pleasure herself from what they did do Apr 23 18:41:24 * Morgan nods Apr 23 18:41:41 Best keep them separated where possible Apr 23 18:41:58 * Claudia nods Apr 23 18:42:35 Makes it difficult for who to take to Koln though Apr 23 18:42:51 * Morgan nods Apr 23 18:44:02 Take Heinzharold, you're leaving Inga with Heinrich, but if you take them both you need to take Varick too Apr 23 18:44:16 * Morgan nods Apr 23 18:44:27 which I'm not sure about either... things could get tense... Apr 23 18:46:51 * Claudia nods Apr 23 18:47:07 Especially if Hapsburg is there Apr 23 18:47:55 * Morgan nods Apr 23 18:47:56 quite Apr 23 18:48:04 Might have to leave them both here Apr 23 18:48:37 Have Varick stay here then? Apr 23 18:48:44 * Morgan nods Apr 23 18:50:01 * Claudia nods Apr 23 18:56:11 * Claudia has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 23 19:48:19 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 23 19:48:28 * MollyK is now known as Claudia Apr 23 19:48:40 [19:38:37] Claudia: *ten minutes passes* the hell is taking them so long? Apr 23 19:48:59 Something salacious I imagine Apr 23 19:50:07 Ugh. Couldn't they wait til we weren't here? Apr 23 19:50:42 I suspect they've forgotten all about us Apr 23 19:51:23 Better that than thinking about us whilst they do it Apr 23 19:51:44 * Morgan laughs Apr 23 19:51:46 true, true Apr 23 19:52:58 *HH does appear a few minutes later* Apr 23 19:53:34 HH: Sorry, got talkin'. We coming back to yer house for dinner? Apr 23 19:53:57 If you want, but I thought you'd relish the time alone Apr 23 19:55:38 HH: we'll come back after. I'm starvin', didn't stop to eat Apr 23 19:55:52 * Claudia sniggers at this Apr 23 19:56:06 Why's that? Apr 23 19:56:51 HH: I was ridin', others ate in the coach Apr 23 19:58:17 I see... didn't you have breakfast? Apr 23 20:01:01 * Claudia starts laughing, and HH punches her arm Apr 23 20:01:40 HH: Glad my humiliation is funny, Claudia ! Apr 23 20:02:47 * Claudia just nods, still laughing Apr 23 20:03:41 * Morgan watches him Apr 23 20:05:04 HH: *he's blushing* not even sure I can face tellin' ya Apr 23 20:05:23 Problem is... if you don't... _she_ will, and it'll be worse that way Apr 23 20:06:13 * Claudia is now known as HH Apr 23 20:07:00 * HH nods, taking a deep breath. Claudia watches HH "How are you going to explain this to Saint Morgan?" Apr 23 20:08:28 * Morgan nods Apr 23 20:08:33 remember I'm an innocent little lamb Apr 23 20:09:15 This mornin', it was really early, and very quiet, see? Apr 23 20:09:30 generally how mornings work, yes Apr 23 20:11:26 Thought mebbie I'd wake up my lil darlin in a way she really likes Apr 23 20:11:43 uh huh Apr 23 20:11:54 C: *she is watching HH with a savage enjoyment* Apr 23 20:12:08 You get what I'm sayin'? Apr 23 20:12:19 with tea and flowers Apr 23 20:12:50 No, though it involves 'er flower Apr 23 20:13:10 C: oh my god, don't call it that! Apr 23 20:14:40 * Morgan rolls his eyes Apr 23 20:16:38 Anyway. I was doing that, a bit naked b'cause I'd just woken up, so my head was busy, an' my ass was in the air... Apr 23 20:17:35 mmhmmm Apr 23 20:17:59 * HH grimaces Apr 23 20:18:28 My Ma came in. Wasn't Inga's fault, she was silent as the grave Apr 23 20:18:44 * Morgan closes his eyes Apr 23 20:18:46 oh dear... Apr 23 20:18:52 C: *she looks at Morgan* doesn't speak well for his skill... Apr 23 20:19:15 * Morgan smirks, glancing at Claudia Apr 23 20:19:54 * HH looks at her "because you're such an exp-..." Her grin makes him cut off, mouth snapping shut Apr 23 20:22:21 walked into _that_ Apr 23 20:23:53 C *she laughs* like his Ma Apr 23 20:24:03 * HH groans Apr 23 20:25:08 I can't imagine she was... happy... Apr 23 20:26:18 *she grins* it gets so much worse Apr 23 20:27:15 go on... Apr 23 20:31:11 My bed is still where it was, so from the door she gets a full view of my ass an' the rest. Luckily Inga had 'er nightdress on... Apr 23 20:31:42 C *she quietly says* And his thick skull was in the way too Apr 23 20:33:00 so you were winking at your mother... right Apr 23 20:33:39 *Claudia creases up. HH smiles at it too* Apr 23 20:34:27 I go out to apologise. She says she was gonna sneak in, light the fire so we woke up warm Apr 23 20:34:48 *Claudia is watching Morgan now* Apr 23 20:35:14 uh huh Apr 23 20:36:08 Then she says "Don't worr-" *Claudia cuts him off* Do the voice too, like you did with me Apr 23 20:36:25 * HH looks at Morgan "do I have to?" Apr 23 20:38:28 I think you do, yes... for the full effect, obviously Apr 23 20:39:04 * HH sighs Apr 23 20:39:13 You're a pair of bastards. Apr 23 20:40:25 * Morgan nods sagely Apr 23 20:40:56 * HH does the voice Apr 23 20:42:01 "Don't worry about it, I've seen your twig, berries, and little bum hole thousands of times before" Apr 23 20:42:11 oh my god Apr 23 20:42:12 * HH is not Apr 23 20:42:37 * HH is now very red. Claudia looks gleeful "it gets worse!" Apr 23 20:43:12 how? Apr 23 20:43:35 * HH continues "It'll be a good few years before your wife has seen as much of your rudey bits as your Ma has" Apr 23 20:43:45 * Morgan starts laughing Apr 23 20:44:02 *Claudia does too "And worse!" Apr 23 20:44:52 * HH sighs, using his own voice "you have no idea 'ow embarrassing this is!" Apr 23 20:46:12 and we won't fully appreciate it if you keep moaning about it... Apr 23 20:47:37 *in his mother's voice* Your Da would be very happy if he could have seen that... Apr 23 20:48:16 *Claudia is laughing so much she has to lean against a low wall in the garden* Apr 23 20:48:28 * Morgan blinks rapidly Apr 23 20:48:47 I... uhhh... Apr 23 20:49:25 *as his Ma* ... he always said the mark of a real man was properly pleasing his lady Apr 23 20:49:48 oh god Apr 23 20:49:57 C: Don't forget the best bit! Apr 23 20:50:17 * HH flips her off Apr 23 20:51:00 And then she was quiet for about ten seconds then said " I miss your Da, he was definitely a real man" Apr 23 20:51:41 *Claudia looks like she might have to sit down from laughing so much* Apr 23 20:51:49 * Morgan roars with laughter Apr 23 20:52:40 * HH looks between the two of them, shaking his head "Hope you're satisfied!" Apr 23 20:53:20 *Claudia looks at Morgan* Not as satisfied as she was! Apr 23 20:54:20 oh man, I'm sorry... but not very much Apr 23 20:55:36 * HH nods "we left pretty quick af'er that!" Apr 23 20:56:01 * Morgan nods Apr 23 20:56:05 I would imagine you did Apr 23 20:58:59 Woulda found a reason to come stay with you at the big house anyway Apr 23 21:01:19 You'd have run away from your Ma Apr 23 21:01:26 * HH nods Apr 23 21:01:44 Damn right, when she's tellin' me stuff like that! Apr 23 21:02:07 * Morgan nods Apr 23 21:05:44 Worst start to the mornin' Apr 23 21:06:24 I would imagine so Apr 23 21:15:24 Never gotten caught, Claudia? Apr 23 21:17:32 *she slowly shakes her head* No Apr 23 21:22:23 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 23 21:22:25 me either Apr 23 21:23:30 Bit o' a miracle, given what you get up to! Apr 23 21:23:43 * Morgan shrugs Apr 23 21:25:44 C: I don't think you could get caught worse than him this morning Apr 23 21:26:02 for embarrassment levels, no, probably not Apr 23 21:26:43 Being caught in that tavern woulda been pretty bad Apr 23 21:26:54 * Morgan nods Apr 23 21:27:58 C: He will be more cautious now no doubt Apr 23 21:28:48 One would imagine so Apr 23 21:29:01 C: I meant you Apr 23 21:30:12 oh... you'd think so... Apr 23 21:31:30 * HH scrutinises him Apr 23 21:32:14 Still looks like Saint Morgan, but doesn't talk or b'have like him any more Apr 23 21:35:44 dunno what you mean Apr 23 21:38:08 During the War, if I'd told ya I'd gotten caught doin' that you woulda been red as a tomato Apr 23 21:38:31 * Morgan shrugs Apr 23 21:38:34 probably Apr 23 21:40:10 * HH grins Apr 23 21:40:48 Even worse if you'd 'eard of her doing it *he hoiks his thumb at Claudia* Apr 23 21:41:18 possibly Apr 23 21:43:54 *Claudia shrugs* wasn't ever gonna tell either of you Apr 23 21:44:55 I'd like to see you tell my father... I don't think he'd be able to comprehend how it works Apr 23 21:46:22 * HH and Claudia laugh Apr 23 21:46:59 * HH mimics Adalbrecht "But what do you put in there?" Apr 23 21:47:14 something like that, aye Apr 23 21:48:08 Mebbie I'll have my Ma have a little talk with him Apr 23 21:49:06 Well, she's certainly informed you that she's worldly Apr 23 21:51:39 * HH groans again Apr 23 21:51:50 I never needed to know tha' Apr 23 21:52:17 but now you do... and you always will... Apr 23 21:52:31 So will you though Apr 23 21:52:37 * Morgan shrugs Apr 23 21:53:48 C: Not as gross when it's not your parents Apr 23 21:54:33 Definitely not Apr 23 21:55:21 * HH shakes off like a wet dog Apr 23 21:55:30 Right, let's get fed Apr 23 21:55:41 * Morgan nods Apr 23 21:55:48 good idea Apr 23 21:56:01 C: I'll get the horses Apr 23 21:56:12 *she goes* Apr 23 21:56:30 * HH looks at Morgan, talking quietly Apr 23 21:56:56 You don't think it's a bad sign that Inga could stay silent, do ya? Apr 23 21:57:46 I think she was either trying to keep your mother from hearing, or its part of past trauma... no matter which it is, and even if I'm wrong, I'd suggest talking to her about it. Apr 23 21:58:52 Yeah, it's not the second anymore. Used t' be, but normally she's plenty loud Apr 23 22:00:29 Doubt you've got anything to worry about... but if it bothers you, ask her Apr 23 22:00:58 Just Claudia, makin' me paranoid Apr 23 22:02:33 * Morgan nods Apr 23 22:03:18 * HH nods Apr 23 22:03:54 Might try an' see if she's got any magic tricks she'll share though Apr 23 22:04:31 best of luck there... I suspect thats a well guarded secret Apr 23 22:06:45 * HH nods, sighing "Want me t' pass anythin' on if she tells me?" Apr 23 22:08:36 * Morgan shrugs Apr 23 22:08:38 couldn't hurt Apr 23 22:08:55 * HH nods Apr 23 22:09:14 I'm gonna get my wife, be back in a minute Apr 23 22:09:22 * Morgan nods Apr 23 22:11:20 * HH hugs him Apr 23 22:11:32 Thanks for the house, man Apr 23 22:12:54 You, my friend, are most welcome. Apr 23 22:13:57 * HH pats his back before letting go Apr 23 22:14:05 See you in a minute Apr 23 22:14:16 * Morgan nods, heading for the horses Apr 23 22:22:46 * HH has quit (Ping Timeout)
