**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jun 3 00:00:55 2022 Jun 03 00:00:55 I mean if she wakes him in a couple of hours... or first thing... Jun 03 00:01:39 * Molly nods Jun 03 00:02:02 As you think best, my love? Jun 03 00:03:40 I'm thinking I'm going to have to sleep propped against one of their doors Jun 03 00:03:51 * Molly sighs Jun 03 00:04:02 I would rather you do not Jun 03 00:04:08 as would I Jun 03 00:06:34 But you would prefer that than sending Edward to his friends' house? Jun 03 00:08:45 * Morgan nods Jun 03 00:08:46 I think so Jun 03 00:09:32 * Molly nods Jun 03 00:09:48 I will find you a needle and thread then Jun 03 00:10:15 * Morgan nods Jun 03 00:10:20 thank you blossom Jun 03 00:12:27 * Molly goes into their room, and comes back a moment later, handing it over Jun 03 00:12:48 I suppose this is good night then, my love? Jun 03 00:13:55 * Morgan nods Jun 03 00:13:57 I'm afraid so Jun 03 00:14:20 * Molly watches him with a smile Jun 03 00:15:01 There's no risk of you needing your breeches sewn, there's enough preventatives as there are! Jun 03 00:15:17 * Morgan nods, frowning Jun 03 00:15:21 I'm growing quite tired of it Jun 03 00:15:34 * Molly nods Jun 03 00:16:26 Three nights in a row... I am not too good when I am unable to bed you very frequently *she smirks a little* Jun 03 00:16:45 * Morgan nods sadly Jun 03 00:18:42 * Molly kisses his cheek Jun 03 00:19:18 I will just have to take my advice for Edward for myself, I think. I shall leave you to your sewing Jun 03 00:20:49 * Morgan nods Jun 03 00:20:52 alright my love Jun 03 00:21:33 Sleep well, my love Jun 03 00:22:51 that seems... unlikely Jun 03 00:23:21 Up against a door is hardly conducive Jun 03 00:23:43 quite Jun 03 00:24:06 * Molly smiles Jun 03 00:24:21 For sleep, anyway. Goodnight, mon petit chou Jun 03 00:25:36 goodnight my love Jun 03 00:25:58 * Molly goes into their room, shutting the door Jun 03 00:26:36 * Morgan checks Edwards room Jun 03 00:27:00 *he isn't there* Jun 03 00:27:06 * Molly is now known as Edward Jun 03 00:27:36 * Morgan wanders down to the library Jun 03 00:28:37 * Edward is stood by the fire in his shirt and breeches Jun 03 00:29:02 Change of plans. Jun 03 00:29:13 What now? Jun 03 00:29:58 Molly sang her to sleep. I suggest you go to bed. I'm going to keep watch to make sure she doesn't go wandering in the night... and I'll sew your breeches while I'm at it Jun 03 00:30:37 Why sew them if you're keeping watch? Jun 03 00:31:34 Because tomorrow there's a good chance we'll face the same issue. Tomorrow I am going to speak with her. Jun 03 00:31:48 * Edward nods Jun 03 00:32:22 Go on then Jun 03 00:34:21 * Morgan watches him for a moment Jun 03 00:34:34 leave your breeches by her door. I'm going to put the fire out Jun 03 00:34:53 * Edward looks confused Jun 03 00:35:00 Why would I do that? Jun 03 00:35:08 so I can sew them Jun 03 00:35:26 How am I going to put them on if you do that? Jun 03 00:36:03 Good point. Bugger off to bed, we'll deal with them tomorrow then Jun 03 00:36:33 * Edward nods Jun 03 00:36:46 Tomorrow has to be better than today Jun 03 00:38:02 Perhaps Jun 03 00:38:08 * Edward nods Jun 03 00:38:13 Goodnight, brother Jun 03 00:38:49 * Morgan inclines his head, waiting for him to leave Jun 03 00:39:10 * Edward does so Jun 03 00:40:22 * Morgan counts to ten before concentrating on the fire for a moment to put it out Jun 03 00:41:06 *it goes out immediately, the room suddenly dark* Jun 03 00:41:17 * Morgan concentrates on a candle Jun 03 00:41:32 *that lights immediately* Jun 03 00:42:04 * Morgan takes it, making his way up to settle down against Mina's door Jun 03 00:43:17 *There he finds a pillow and the eiderdown that was on his and Molly's bed last time they stayed here* Jun 03 00:44:57 * Morgan smiles to himself, propping himself against the doorframe Jun 03 00:45:44 *it takes quite a while, but he does start to drift off* Jun 03 00:49:32 * Edward has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Jun 03 01:29:31 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Jun 03 01:35:24 * MollyK has quit (Ping Timeout) Jun 03 10:51:50 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Jun 03 10:51:51 * MollyK has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Jun 03 10:51:58 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Jun 03 10:53:07 * MollyK is now known as Adalbrecht Jun 03 10:58:46 *he starts to dream. He tucks the small bit of ribbon marked with their initials and a heart in between that she had given him three weeks ago into his coat pocket and heads for Xantha, the dawn not quite upon them. It is January 1665, and Morgan intends to be wed to Dietlinde before the Shadowfayre on the thirty-first, just ten days away. To that Jun 03 10:58:46 end, he is sneaking out to ride west, through the forest to the small town of Niefheim where the priest he has been writing to lives. Today is the day he will hand over the bribe, and this time next week will be their wedding day. The bag of guilders is heavy in the other pocket, and clinks as he approaches the horse who is lying down asleep. Jun 03 11:01:30 * Morgan nudges the horse gently Jun 03 11:01:41 * Adalbrecht is now known as Xantha Jun 03 11:01:52 * Xantha huffs, ignoring him Jun 03 11:02:15 Come on, we need to go Jun 03 11:03:39 * Xantha opens an eye, then pointedly turns his head away Jun 03 11:05:13 * Morgan shoves at him with his foot Jun 03 11:05:15 come on Jun 03 11:06:29 * Xantha bares his teeth at Morgan Jun 03 11:07:54 Xantha... Up Jun 03 11:08:18 * Xantha snaps at him Jun 03 11:08:38 * Morgan kicks him Jun 03 11:08:40 get up Jun 03 11:09:09 *there's a faint sound of hooves approaching the stables, yet the grooms are never here this early, which is why the plan Xantha is ruining was so good* Jun 03 11:09:25 * Xantha tries to bite him this time Jun 03 11:10:16 * Morgan frowns, moving to look out the door Jun 03 11:10:51 *An unfamiliar man is riding up. He looks freezing and exhausted* Jun 03 11:12:31 * Morgan watches him Jun 03 11:15:02 * Xantha dismounts at the stable, yawning. He looks at Morgan, who has carefully chosen clothes that allow him to pass as a commoner. He gives him an acknowledging head tilt "Mornin'. You take th' 'orses?" His accent sounds like the rougher streets of Freiburg Jun 03 11:16:19 * Morgan shrugs slightly Jun 03 11:16:27 can do. What brings you here this time of night? Jun 03 11:16:49 M: Gotta see the Graf, urgent like. Jun 03 11:17:12 Why? Jun 03 11:17:49 Sorry, can't say. Fuck my arse 'urts, been sleeping in th' saddle f' days Jun 03 11:18:33 Right. Stick the horse in that stall, I'll fetch the Graf for you Jun 03 11:20:52 M: *he hands Morgan a letter and a guilder* take that. That's whut I'm 'ere to do. Don' open it though, private, see? Jun 03 11:21:52 * Morgan nods, handing the guilder back Jun 03 11:22:27 you've earned that, riding so long. Make your way to the kitchen, I'm sure there's the makings of decent coffee Jun 03 11:23:36 M: *he thanks him, and once he has directions he gets on with watering and feeding the horse* Jun 03 11:24:22 * Morgan heads back inside the house, slowly making his way to his fathers room Jun 03 11:25:23 *he sees a few servants on the way, but no one stops him. Adalbrecht's door is shut* Jun 03 11:25:47 * Morgan knocks on it Jun 03 11:26:39 * Xantha is now known as Adalbrecht Jun 03 11:26:43 Come Jun 03 11:26:57 * Morgan goes into the room Jun 03 11:28:00 * Adalbrecht is just doing up his doublet Jun 03 11:28:17 Where are you off to so early? Jun 03 11:28:24 Doesn't matter, this came Jun 03 11:29:37 * Adalbrecht takes it, opening the seal. He reads it, looking angrier as he goes Jun 03 11:29:46 Whats going on? Jun 03 11:30:03 I am going to have him whipped. Get a bag together, we ride in half an hour. Jun 03 11:30:12 Where, why? Jun 03 11:30:27 Freiburg. Because your brother has eloped. Jun 03 11:30:43 * Morgan looks surprised Jun 03 11:30:47 what? With who? Jun 03 11:31:19 * Adalbrecht puts the letter down before ringing the service bell Jun 03 11:31:36 Lady Hapsburg Jun 03 11:32:23 She's a good match for him... and us... Jun 03 11:33:18 She was a good match for you! Marrying her is secret like this, without her Father's consent, will ruin them both. Jun 03 11:35:07 What are you planning to do? Jun 03 11:36:20 Deal with your brother. Jun 03 11:36:40 thats not a plan. Jun 03 11:38:09 *a servant opens the door only to immediately get told pack him a bag for a week, and the young man goes through to Adalbrecht's bed chamber* Jun 03 11:38:48 You have known for five seconds less than I have, Morgan. I haven't had time for a plan yet. Jun 03 11:39:01 * Morgan raises an eyebrow Jun 03 11:39:27 Then perhaps the Graf would listen to mine Jun 03 11:39:46 Go on, then you need to get your things together. Jun 03 11:40:47 Send a messenger to Hapsburg, you're going to need to speak with him anyway and secure his permission for them to marry. Find them, have their marriage annulled and arrange a proper wedding. Jun 03 11:41:23 He is in Freiburg, he sent the messenger to me Jun 03 11:41:51 Why? Does he want you to catch up with him? Jun 03 11:43:08 He wants me to deal with my errant child, but they are back in Freiburg at Hapsburg's house Jun 03 11:43:55 oh, Hapsburg sent the message. That makes more sense. My plan remains the same. Jun 03 11:44:59 Your Mother will need to host the Shadowfayre alone, it will be at least two weeks until we are back Jun 03 11:46:35 * Morgan shakes his head Jun 03 11:46:40 No, I... Jun 03 11:47:09 No, you come with me to deal with this crisis for our family. Jun 03 11:49:45 He won't listen to me. Jun 03 11:52:36 I don't care. You can be useful to me, and learning to manage the politics will benefit you. Besides, you do nothing here but disappear off most of the days with your friends. *but in truth, he has barely seen HH and Claudia, because he has spent every moment he can with Dietlinde, or arranging their future home* Jun 03 11:53:03 Thats not true Jun 03 11:54:16 We have been giving you time to settle back in to normal life, but it is time you start taking on some duties here Jun 03 11:55:22 * Morgan frowns Jun 03 11:57:30 I have things I'm supposed to be doing Jun 03 11:57:39 Like what? Jun 03 11:58:03 I have someone I want to spent my time with Jun 03 11:58:21 Well that can wait until we are back Jun 03 11:58:58 * Morgan sighs Jun 03 11:59:06 You're not going to back down on this are you Jun 03 11:59:39 No. This is your family's reputation, and you know it is important. Jun 03 12:00:21 * Morgan grinds his teeth Jun 03 12:00:24 I need an hour Jun 03 12:01:09 It doesn't take long to pack. We will eat in the saddle. Send a note to Heinzharold, you don't need to see him. Jun 03 12:01:21 * Adalbrecht rings the bell again Jun 03 12:01:25 Its not him. Jun 03 12:01:53 What is so important that you want to delay us when it is this important?! Jun 03 12:02:02 I need to tell Dietlinde Jun 03 12:02:06 Who? Jun 03 12:02:25 * Morgan scowls at him Jun 03 12:02:33 the seamstress. We are close. Jun 03 12:02:44 * Adalbrecht sizes up his heir Jun 03 12:02:53 She is your mistress? Jun 03 12:02:59 * Morgan shakes his head Jun 03 12:03:07 No Jun 03 12:03:22 Well then, it doesn't matter. Send Heinzharold to tell her. Jun 03 12:03:52 No. It matters. Jun 03 12:04:33 She is your prospective mistress then. We _will_ be having words about that on our journey. Jun 03 12:04:47 * Morgan looks uncomfortable Jun 03 12:07:23 Send her a note then. She can read, can't she? *but Adalbrecht is wrong, and Morgan had yet to persuade her of the value of it when no one in her family can and they have all managed just fine. Why bother with reading when you have a good memory and the only book you can even get is the holy book and the small catechism, and most common children Jun 03 12:07:23 are still taught just by word of mouth* Jun 03 12:08:02 No... very _very_ few people can read. I need to see her. Jun 03 12:08:46 Don't be ridiculous Jun 03 12:09:18 Then I won't go Jun 03 12:09:43 For the love of God, Morgan, will you stop going on about this? She is just a common girl, and your family needs you. Jun 03 12:11:08 Look, I love her. I just need to tell her where I'm going. We had plans and I want her to know changing them is not my choice. Jun 03 12:11:17 * Adalbrecht laughs Jun 03 12:11:49 Love her?! Now you are being absurd. Get your things, we ride in twenty minutes Jun 03 12:12:31 * Morgan glares at him Jun 03 12:12:51 Clearly shows what you know, that one son already has eloped and the other was planning to. Go on your own. Jun 03 12:13:33 * Adalbrecht looks absolutely incandescent Jun 03 12:14:16 WHAT IN THEUS' NAME DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?! Jun 03 12:18:01 * Adalbrecht has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Jun 03 12:21:40 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Jun 03 12:21:42 * MollyK is now known as Adalbrecht Jun 03 12:21:58 you heard what I said Jun 03 12:22:46 YOU WILL GET YOUR THINGS RIGHT NOW, YOUNG MAN! Jun 03 12:23:51 * Morgan glares at him for a moment before moving towards the door Jun 03 12:25:25 You will marry that girl over my dead body. You will drag the whole Grafdom into the gutter. Jun 03 12:25:48 Get your things, stay here and be shouted at, make your damn mind up Jun 03 12:26:16 Oh I will shout at you all the way to Freiburg for this idiocy, don't you worry. Jun 03 12:26:46 No doubt, what with you being known as the Graf who is understanding and loving... Jun 03 12:27:15 I am a _nobleman_, and there was a time when you remembered you were too. Jun 03 12:27:40 give it a rest Jun 03 12:28:31 *the door opens. It isn't a servant, it is Verity. She looks at Morgan first* Are you well, dear boy? I heard raised voices Jun 03 12:29:27 Sorry Mother, father was just telling me what a failure I am Jun 03 12:30:08 *Verity looks surprised* You are not a failure. Jun 03 12:31:02 his holiness thinks so Jun 03 12:31:44 *she gives him a look of gentle chastisement* respect your Father, please Jun 03 12:32:30 Difficult when he's being unnecessarily unkind Jun 03 12:33:12 *He looks stern* He was planning to elope with a common girl. Jun 03 12:33:30 unlike... Jun 03 12:33:41 V: *she looks taken aback* that cannot be correct, dear boy? Jun 03 12:33:50 * Morgan sighs Jun 03 12:34:11 I told him I loved her and he laughed... he _laughed_ and called it absurd... Jun 03 12:34:56 V: *she nods slightly* it is complicated when the heart is involved, but dear boy... it is impossible. Jun 03 12:41:13 * Adalbrecht has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Jun 03 14:09:24 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Jun 03 14:14:12 * MollyK has quit (Ping Timeout) Jun 03 18:13:12 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Jun 03 18:17:42 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jun 03 19:32:59 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Jun 03 19:37:28 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jun 03 21:01:31 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Jun 03 21:06:25 [12:25:07] Adalbrecht: V: *she nods slightly* it is complicated when the heart is involved, but dear boy... it is impossible. Jun 03 21:06:54 I disagree Jun 03 21:07:26 * MollyK is now known as Adalbrecht Jun 03 21:08:35 Verity, I have to go to Freiburg, now. Edward has also lost his senses, and has eloped, though thankfully she is at least noble and the family are allies. Jun 03 21:09:03 *She looks deeply upset* Edward has married without permission, and without us? Jun 03 21:09:43 * Adalbrecht casts a glance at Morgan Jun 03 21:10:39 * Morgan flinches Jun 03 21:12:34 * Adalbrecht comes to her, gently putting an arm around her shoulder "He has. It will be fixed, but I will be gone for the Shadowfayre. Morgan is coming with me." Jun 03 21:13:35 Mother, I need to speak to Dietlinde before we go. I don't want her thinking I've just abandoned her Jun 03 21:13:53 * Adalbrecht frowns deeply Jun 03 21:14:20 I have already told you to send a messenger. Do not manipulate your Mother. Jun 03 21:14:40 I'm not manipulating anyone... I'm appealing to the one of you who has a heart Jun 03 21:15:30 V: *she looks to Morgan* Your Father loves you very much, dear boy. And Sudlachenburg. Would you like me to see her on your behalf? Jun 03 21:17:07 If that is the best compromise I will get, yes, please Jun 03 21:18:08 V: I will tell her that you care greatly but that the elopement cannot go ahead, and you will see her upon your return in a few weeks Jun 03 21:19:24 You will tell her that our future has not been changed by my choice? Jun 03 21:20:58 Tell her that if it is even attempted they will both be banished from the Grafdom. Jun 03 21:21:12 * Morgan looks at his father Jun 03 21:21:27 Then I will save you that and just leave now. Safe journey. Jun 03 21:22:02 *Verity gives Adalbrecht a glance that is an unusually obvious rebuke* Adalbrecht, stop that. You will only make him dig his heels in. Jun 03 21:23:00 * Adalbrecht looks at Morgan, ignoring the sensible council. "I could disown you, you would never set foot here again, and nor could she." Jun 03 21:23:57 * Morgan smiles slightly Jun 03 21:24:13 then you would be the reason mother would never see her grandchildren Jun 03 21:26:12 *Verity now looks at Morgan* Make peace with your Father, Morgan. You would not give up your family and future so easily. Jun 03 21:26:50 I'm not the one threatening it. Jun 03 21:28:01 V: *she looks at him, obviously disappointed* You'll give me your word that you will not marry her, dear boy? Jun 03 21:29:39 * Morgan flinches Jun 03 21:29:49 If I must Jun 03 21:30:06 *she nods* I am sorry, but you must. Jun 03 21:31:38 * Morgan scowls but nods Jun 03 21:31:46 *he feels an odd sensation on his left bicep* Jun 03 21:32:23 V: I will tell her it is entirely against your wishes, and that the decision was mine and the Graf's Jun 03 21:32:56 She will still never forgive me Jun 03 21:33:38 She's a very stupid girl if she thought she could marry a Veisgraf! *he is fastening on his coat* Jun 03 21:34:23 *Verity raises her eyes to the ceiling a moment as if willing herself extra patience* Jun 03 21:34:28 Its no wonder Edward didn't tell you, you cold, callous bastard Jun 03 21:35:22 * Adalbrecht looks like he is about to become incandescent again, but Morgan suddenly awakens Jun 03 21:35:39 * Adalbrecht is now known as Molly Jun 03 21:36:15 * Molly has her hand on his arm, looking concerned. She's knelt beside him "hey now, it's alright...' Jun 03 21:36:38 * Morgan blinks, glancing round Jun 03 21:37:38 *everything is just as it was when he went to sleep. She rubs his arm* Jun 03 21:39:25 I woke you? Jun 03 21:40:14 * Molly shakes her head Jun 03 21:41:01 I had a dream and wanted to check you had not followed me into it, but you were clearly having a nightmare *she speaks quietly, still stroking his arm* Jun 03 21:41:17 * Morgan nods before frowning Jun 03 21:41:19 what dream? Jun 03 21:45:05 I was in Freiburg with Seb, walking arm in arm with him across the grass by the Drachen Cathedral. I was barefoot and he was carrying my shoes. We were on honeymoon. You were sat on the wall sketching, and you were watching me and Seb. I thought maybe...? Jun 03 21:45:59 I see Jun 03 21:46:18 That was not what you were dreaming? Jun 03 21:46:54 * Molly sits down beside him, her back also to Mina's door, and pulls a little of the eiderdown over her Jun 03 21:52:49 No, it isn't Jun 03 21:53:02 * Molly nods Jun 03 21:53:19 Are you alright? You said her name... Jun 03 21:53:38 * Morgan nods Jun 03 21:53:40 sorry Jun 03 21:53:50 * Molly frowns slightly Jun 03 21:54:00 Why would you apologise? Jun 03 21:54:17 Because I don't imagine its easy to hear Jun 03 21:55:14 It's... I don't know. Complicated, I suppose. But it natural that you would dream of her still Jun 03 21:55:26 I wasn't really Jun 03 21:55:48 It is alright, liebling Jun 03 21:56:40 * Morgan nods Jun 03 21:58:15 * Molly leans her cheek to his shoulder Jun 03 21:58:23 Do you wish to talk about it? Jun 03 22:00:55 I was getting ready to go see the priest to pay him to perform the service... a messenger appeared. Edward had eloped with Mina, and father demanded I go with him to fix it. I wouldn't leave without seeing Dietlinde, and it all came out. Jun 03 22:01:10 * Molly nods Jun 03 22:01:31 I shouldn't imagine it was well received by him? Jun 03 22:01:43 No. He was awful Jun 03 22:03:32 I'm sorry, that must have been dreadful. She must have been very upset. Jun 03 22:06:48 I didn't get to see her. Mother was going to speak to her as we had to ride out immediately Jun 03 22:07:30 * Molly nods Jun 03 22:07:58 It sounds as if tonight's situation with Edward and Mina has fed into your nightmares Jun 03 22:08:04 * Morgan nods Jun 03 22:08:06 I'd say so Jun 03 22:08:19 Unless it is an alternate path? Jun 03 22:09:52 * Morgan shrugs Jun 03 22:09:54 I don't know Jun 03 22:10:17 It is hard to see how it could be really Jun 03 22:10:23 * Morgan nods Jun 03 22:11:00 Are you alright now, or do you need me to help? Jun 03 22:11:22 I'm ok blossom Jun 03 22:12:02 * Molly nods Jun 03 22:12:14 what time is it? Jun 03 22:12:32 About three, I think Jun 03 22:12:37 * Morgan nods Jun 03 22:13:34 I could sit on watch a little while and you could get some sleep in the bed until your usual time? Jun 03 22:13:55 No, I'll be alright blossom Jun 03 22:14:05 Then I shall stay with you. Jun 03 22:15:01 No, my love, get your sleep Jun 03 22:15:18 I do not want to sleep without you Jun 03 22:15:31 * Morgan sighs Jun 03 22:15:43 I'm not going to win this am I? Jun 03 22:15:50 * Molly smiles Jun 03 22:16:20 Unless you command me as my husband, I have not intention of yielding willingly Jun 03 22:16:34 * Morgan nods Jun 03 22:16:54 You do not wish to command me? Jun 03 22:17:24 * Morgan shakes his head Jun 03 22:17:28 No, I don't Jun 03 22:17:53 * Molly nods, holding his hand Jun 03 22:18:01 I belong at your side Jun 03 22:18:16 I'm getting tired of this Jun 03 22:18:26 What, my love? Jun 03 22:18:46 Nightmares. Jun 03 22:18:56 * Molly nods Jun 03 22:19:04 It is bad again, isn't it? Jun 03 22:19:39 * Morgan nods Jun 03 22:19:44 I'm starting to dread sleeping again Jun 03 22:20:55 * Molly nods Jun 03 22:21:08 It almost seems it is worse when we are apart Jun 03 22:21:55 * Morgan nods Jun 03 22:22:59 * Molly sighs very sadly Jun 03 22:23:13 I wish I could do something about it Jun 03 22:23:30 * Morgan nods, leaning his head against the door frame Jun 03 22:27:28 I am not much use if I cannot heal this Jun 03 22:28:07 You are not here because you are of use Jun 03 22:29:39 I am here because I will not go back to bed? *she smiles at him* Jun 03 22:33:16 in this instance... Jun 03 22:33:48 I would rather be uncomfortable on the floor with you... Jun 03 22:35:32 * Morgan nods Jun 03 22:36:29 I say tomorrow night we leave them to their own devices and go to bed together Jun 03 22:36:42 * Morgan nods Jun 03 22:38:29 * Molly yawns, settling more against him Jun 03 22:38:37 You will try to sleep? Jun 03 22:38:51 I suppose so Jun 03 22:39:14 * Molly is almost asleep when she says Jun 03 22:39:19 Liebling? Jun 03 22:39:24 yes? Jun 03 22:39:41 Does it trouble you that I dreamt of him? Jun 03 22:40:25 Depends what else happened really Jun 03 22:41:24 Nothing happened, despite being on honeymoon we were just walking arm in arm through the Cathedral grounds and enjoying being together Jun 03 22:42:41 then no Jun 03 22:43:12 * Molly nods Jun 03 22:43:28 Good... what would have bothered you? Jun 03 22:43:42 I don't know blossom Jun 03 22:43:57 * Molly nods Jun 03 22:44:12 I have never said his name in my sleep? Jun 03 22:44:27 No. Edwards, on the other hand... Jun 03 22:45:14 What?! I do not dream of him that way! Jun 03 22:45:25 I know Jun 03 22:46:52 I do not understand Jun 03 22:47:22 I forget exactly what you were dreaming, but he'd said something cheeky Jun 03 22:50:37 Oh... was this a few nights ago where he had asked if you could make me... umm... Jun 03 22:50:51 what? Jun 03 22:51:14 I believe he might have said climax Jun 03 22:51:44 * Morgan nods Jun 03 22:51:46 thats right Jun 03 22:51:57 * Molly nods Jun 03 22:52:25 I am glad of that, as you woke quite keen to do so... Jun 03 22:52:43 * Morgan nods Jun 03 22:53:17 Perhaps you could dream something nicer like that instead, my love? Jun 03 22:53:43 * Morgan shrugs Jun 03 22:53:44 maybe Jun 03 22:54:55 I will hope that for you Jun 03 22:55:43 * Morgan nods Jun 03 22:57:28 *As it turns out, when he does finally get to sleep about fifteen minutes after her, he dreams of being by the Sudlache again, skimming stones. The blue tone is immediately obvious to him, and he knows he is just dreaming* Jun 03 22:58:25 * Morgan looks around before skipping another stone Jun 03 22:58:50 *there's nothing but trees, shore, and lake Jun 03 22:59:16 * Morgan takes some time to revel in the peacefulness Jun 03 23:00:04 *he has plenty of time to do so, and then the dawn watch makes a single chime* Jun 03 23:00:19 * Morgan wakes up Jun 03 23:02:35 * Molly has changed position, curled up into a little ball under the eiderdown with her head on his thigh Jun 03 23:06:12 Come on blossom, get you to bed since I'm awake now Jun 03 23:07:56 * Molly sighs, still mostly asleep "Already?
