**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jul 26 08:51:11 2022 Jul 26 08:51:11 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Jul 26 09:49:10 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jul 26 13:15:49 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Jul 26 18:15:04 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Jul 26 18:16:19 *With lunch done, the guests are set free to wander around, Verity and Adalbrecht with Christopher, Molly and Varick going to look around with Inga and HH Jul 26 18:16:49 * Morgan makes a beeline for Faulk Jul 26 18:17:48 * MollyK is in the library talking to Graf Goren and his wife. Outside the snow seems to be falling, but in here there is a warm fire, mulled wine and whiskey Jul 26 18:18:50 * MollyK is now known as Faulk Jul 26 18:19:05 * Morgan watches them for a moment before approaching Jul 26 18:19:26 * Faulk smiles Jul 26 18:19:54 Morgan, are you acquainted with the Graf and Grafin Goren? Jul 26 18:20:04 * Morgan bows his head before looking at the others Jul 26 18:20:12 No, your Grace, I am not Jul 26 18:20:50 * Faulk makes the introductions. It's strange to have a Graf automatically deferential to him Jul 26 18:23:17 * Morgan greets them politely Jul 26 18:23:25 Where is our Duchess? Jul 26 18:24:06 She has gone for a look around with Freiarr Koln and Sir and Lady Lehenstrue Jul 26 18:24:27 * Faulk nods Jul 26 18:24:42 Very good. Are you all excited for tomorrow? Jul 26 18:25:43 * Morgan nods Jul 26 18:26:03 That's a fair assessment I'd say.... Mother is absolutely thrilled, of course, and it gives her an excuse to see her brother Jul 26 18:26:21 Ah yes, an interesting man. Jul 26 18:26:31 * Morgan laughs Jul 26 18:26:37 thats... one way of putting it, yes Jul 26 18:27:14 * Faulk looks to the others "do excuse us" They bow and curtsey, going. Faulk gives Morgan some whiskey from a servant Jul 26 18:27:42 How is Molly now? Fully recovered, I hope. Jul 26 18:27:52 * Morgan nods Jul 26 18:28:52 Vibrant I think is an appropriate word for her now... the scare we had has given us cause to really make ourselves obvious with our feelings for one another Jul 26 18:29:47 /me smiles Jul 26 18:29:53 Wonderful Jul 26 18:30:00 How are you? Jul 26 18:31:03 I am well, thank you. Yourself, and Varick? Jul 26 18:31:42 * Morgan nods Jul 26 18:32:01 Adjusting to having to wear these things *he lifts a leg slightly* Jul 26 18:33:01 * Faulk nods Jul 26 18:33:21 They are an acquired taste Jul 26 18:33:31 * Morgan nods Jul 26 18:33:53 I wondered if I might whisk you away somewhere private to discuss a somewhat delicate matter Jul 26 18:34:04 * Faulk nods Jul 26 18:34:53 Of course. *he asks a servant to find them somewhere, and they are led to a small library room off the main one* Jul 26 18:40:00 * Morgan waits until the door is closed Jul 26 18:40:34 * Faulk looks at Morgan Jul 26 18:40:55 I am... struggling with something that I would like your advice, as my friend Jul 26 18:41:19 * Faulk gestures to a chair before sitting Jul 26 18:41:24 * Morgan sits down Jul 26 18:41:58 If it is about whether to try to steal the timber contract from your Father, I would advise he will be put out Jul 26 18:42:29 * Morgan shakes his head Jul 26 18:42:47 No, nothing like that... a matter of the heart Jul 26 18:43:22 * Faulk frowns Jul 26 18:43:37 You want to take a mistress already?! Jul 26 18:44:30 Good lord no, nothing of the sort. What I want is... children. Soon. Sooner than I ever imagined I would want Jul 26 18:44:54 And Molly does not. Jul 26 18:45:46 No, she definitely does... but we are committed to our task... I... I don't know, I wanted your input on what we could do Jul 26 18:46:10 * Faulk sips his whiskey Jul 26 18:47:09 And you are coming to me as a friend, not as the husband of the ambassador? Jul 26 18:47:34 * Morgan nods Jul 26 18:47:44 I'm trying to find a middle ground Jul 26 18:48:02 * Morgan smiles slightly Jul 26 18:48:14 I understand you know the EIsenfurst quite well and may have an insight in how to handle such a situation Jul 26 18:48:59 *he smiles briefly* I can appreciate the difficulty you face. Jul 26 18:49:16 * Morgan nods Jul 26 18:49:59 I also appreciate your integrity Jul 26 18:50:18 I'm not sure I understand Jul 26 18:51:18 Many would have proceeded as he wished, and pretended a pregnancy was unintentional Jul 26 18:52:02 * Morgan nods Jul 26 18:52:19 Your friendship means a great deal... I would not jeopardise that Jul 26 18:52:36 * Faulk nods Jul 26 18:53:11 Molly explained to me about the irregular nature of Capperlucian society Jul 26 18:53:31 * Morgan nods Jul 26 18:54:16 It's going to be.... Interesting, dealing with them Jul 26 18:54:46 It complicates this matter no end Jul 26 18:55:16 * Morgan nods Jul 26 18:55:41 I am sorry about that... we do not wish to put any extra stress on your plate Jul 26 18:57:12 * Faulk nods, quietly considering the situation Jul 26 18:59:02 We have no intention of letting you down... we are not wanting to be released from the assignment you have given us... Jul 26 18:59:27 What are you proposing? Jul 26 18:59:50 * Morgan smiles Jul 26 19:00:01 Now _that_ I don't know. Jul 26 19:00:18 * Faulk nods Jul 26 19:01:12 Establishing this trade is very important to me Jul 26 19:01:24 * Morgan nods Jul 26 19:01:38 It is important for you, the konigsreich, and Eisen Jul 26 19:04:15 Indeed it is. There is much speculation as to why I have elevated the two of you, thought some assume it was in return for your uncovering and resolving the situation with Alarice Jul 26 19:04:51 I imagine there is much... resistance to your giving us titles Jul 26 19:05:39 There is certainly talk, but no one is unwise enough to complain directly Jul 26 19:05:58 * Morgan nods Jul 26 19:06:01 Yet. Jul 26 19:08:08 What level of confidence do you have in being able to establish good trade links and transfer of goods within this first year? Jul 26 19:09:01 Difficult to say, though... The crown prince, a friend of mine... we are hoping to reunite him with his wife on the way and take them home Jul 26 19:10:24 * Faulk nods slowly Jul 26 19:10:44 I was not aware you would have him with you Jul 26 19:10:56 Nor was I until recently Jul 26 19:12:08 I would think taking the crown prince and his wife with you would very favourably dispose them to trading with us Jul 26 19:12:17 * Morgan nods Jul 26 19:12:22 Unless he's as well liked as I am Jul 26 19:15:32 * Faulk nods Jul 26 19:16:23 Do you need Molly to not travel at all during a confinement? Jul 26 19:16:55 Between you and I, I highly doubt she would tolerate that Jul 26 19:17:26 * Faulk nods Jul 26 19:17:53 I need to know what you are hoping to modify about the agreement Jul 26 19:18:11 * Morgan sighs Jul 26 19:18:36 I don't know. I wasn't even sure there was any scope for modifying it. Jul 26 19:21:21 I want a solid trade between the places, beneficial financially to their country and our konigsreich. I want it safely left in the hands of a mutually agreed replacement ambassador, as per the agreement. Jul 26 19:21:57 * Morgan nods Jul 26 19:23:51 Yes your grace Jul 26 19:25:08 Leave it with me. I will think on whether I am happy to alter the agreement without altering the benefits you have received from it Jul 26 19:25:36 * Morgan nods slightly Jul 26 19:25:42 I had worried about that Jul 26 19:25:57 * Faulk nods Jul 26 19:26:19 It would be very irregular to modify an agreement like this without some impact Jul 26 19:26:38 * Morgan looks at Faulk Jul 26 19:26:46 We are not regular noblemen Jul 26 19:27:04 That is very true Jul 26 19:28:23 No-one else is in as good as a position as we are to deliver this trade for you. No-one else has the knowledge, or in fact the contacts within the country, nor the willingness to go hunting for a country they've never heard of. Jul 26 19:28:33 * Morgan pauses, sipping his whiskey Jul 26 19:29:41 * Faulk nods Jul 26 19:31:05 We will deliver the trade alliance you want. To remove our titles, or the Grafdom, from us when the desired outcome will be delivered would be unfair and unwise, in the impression it gives the Capperlucians and your opponents, and will destabilise Gottkirchen, which not a single one of us wants. Jul 26 19:31:35 * Faulk nods, sipping his whiskey Jul 26 19:32:06 Yes, that would not be the most desirable outcome Jul 26 19:33:58 I am not asking to have the rewards without the work, though if we're honest, the rewards come with their own workload... I am asking for some lattitude, some flexibility while we deliver the alliance you ask for... Jul 26 19:34:32 * Faulk nods Jul 26 19:35:53 Give me a plan, Morgan. What happens if Molly falls pregnant? How soon do you anticipate that happening? Jul 26 19:44:22 My cousin worked until she was six months pregnant, and working a very physically demanding occupation. There is less care available at sea but... if something goes wrong with a pregnancy, I don't believe there is anything can be done about it, at sea or on land. Jul 26 19:46:41 * Faulk nods Jul 26 19:46:49 Only Theus can help then Jul 26 19:47:13 As to when... how much do you know about ways to avoid pregnancy? Jul 26 19:48:53 I know the Vaticine method. Everything else is against the Church's teachings. Jul 26 19:49:41 Then it will be hard to explain without potentially offending your sensibilities, and I have no desire to offend you Jul 26 19:50:10 * Faulk nods Jul 26 19:50:42 It is not for me to judge another man's actions. It will be helpful to understand. Jul 26 19:50:57 * Morgan nods, sipping his drink Jul 26 19:53:30 Molly has been taking some herbs that make it nearly impossible to conceive... in theory, it could take up to a year for those effects to wear off, though earlier is possible... the idea we have at the moment is to use a sponge dipped in brandy, which has no long term effects. Realistically, if the theory holds correct, it could take a year before a child was conceived but... Jul 26 19:53:56 But it could also happen immediately. Jul 26 19:54:46 Extremely unlikely. The midwife, Marta, said a year is about average before fertility returns... but what people hold true doesn't necessarily have any meaning, given some of the things I've seen Jul 26 19:55:22 * Faulk sips his drink Jul 26 19:55:33 That is a very long delay for you Jul 26 19:56:02 * Morgan nods Jul 26 19:56:10 That is a delay we have no control over Jul 26 19:57:27 But if you cannot modify the agreement, that could mean four years before you have a child Jul 26 19:58:17 As I recall there is an allowance should Molly fall pregnant, albeit accidentally... Jul 26 20:02:02 * Faulk nods Jul 26 20:02:27 It was not defined well. It seemed to be somewhat an afterthought for her Jul 26 20:03:03 Given... the loss I suffered, we were not sure I would ever _want_ children, let alone want them soon Jul 26 20:04:12 * Faulk nods Jul 26 20:04:18 And now you do Jul 26 20:04:56 * Morgan nods Jul 26 20:05:58 What changed? Jul 26 20:06:25 I was forced to deal with a child... I realised how much I enjoyed it, how much I _missed_ it Jul 26 20:06:38 * Faulk nods Jul 26 20:07:13 Would you have made this agreement with the benefit of hindsight? Jul 26 20:07:39 With some differences, yes. Jul 26 20:09:04 Which would be? Jul 26 20:10:28 A nearer time for time out to have children. *he looks at Faulk seriously* I am not doing these things because it gives me an advantage, or because I curry favour, or even because you want us to... I believe in what we are doing, the benefits it could bring for everyone. Jul 26 20:11:39 * Faulk nods Jul 26 20:11:44 I do not doubt that Jul 26 20:15:03 * Morgan nods briefly Jul 26 20:16:48 I assume you still intend to go in a few weeks? Jul 26 20:16:55 Of course Jul 26 20:17:39 * Faulk nods Jul 26 20:18:33 The agreement was two trips a year for the ambassador, though in time I would want many ships going back and forth constantly. Jul 26 20:19:18 * Morgan nods Jul 26 20:19:41 I've one ship close to sailing, another to be ready quite soon Jul 26 20:20:43 * Faulk nods Jul 26 20:21:14 I think this could be a very, very successful venture. Jul 26 20:23:32 * Morgan nods Jul 26 20:23:38 It has potential Jul 26 20:25:35 Speak to Molly, decide what it is the two of you want, and come back to me so I can consider it. Jul 26 20:25:51 * Morgan nods Jul 26 20:26:00 One way or another, we will get this trade alliance in place Jul 26 20:26:30 * Faulk nods Jul 26 20:26:37 I do not doubt that either Jul 26 20:30:20 * Morgan nods Jul 26 20:30:27 There are two other things I wanted to discuss... Jul 26 20:31:38 * Faulk nods Jul 26 20:31:41 Yes? Jul 26 20:31:57 First... I am a duke without a duchy. Jul 26 20:33:51 * Faulk nods Jul 26 20:34:06 That is not uncommon with titles given for service Jul 26 20:34:32 We are not common noblemen... Jul 26 20:37:10 No. I am sure you can appreciate that now is not the time to be asking for a duchy Jul 26 20:37:55 I wasn't asking... needling, coercing, coaching, certainly, but not asking Jul 26 20:37:59 * Morgan grins Jul 26 20:39:19 * Faulk laughs Jul 26 20:39:53 I am now aware that it is of an interest to you. Jul 26 20:40:50 For purely practical reasons... Jul 26 20:43:00 Which are? Jul 26 20:44:31 Its extra leverage... Duke Anhalt has more sway than I do because he is a duke of somewhere. Jul 26 20:44:36 As an example Jul 26 20:45:32 * Faulk nods Jul 26 20:46:04 I will consider it, should the venture with Capperlucia work out well Jul 26 20:46:30 * Morgan nods Jul 26 20:46:47 Thank you. Now, the last thing... I spoke with your son when I was in Seefeur Jul 26 20:47:03 * Faulk nods Jul 26 20:47:23 Did he tell you he and Sabine are finished? Jul 26 20:47:32 * Morgan nods Jul 26 20:47:51 I asked after her, his reaction made it quite plain even before he told me Jul 26 20:49:35 * Faulk nods Jul 26 20:49:50 She is doing well though Jul 26 20:50:27 That doesn't surprise me... *he looks at Faulk speculatively* Are you aware of the recent discoveries we have made of Molly's heritage? Jul 26 20:52:18 * Faulk shakes his head Jul 26 20:52:30 I have not heard anything about that Jul 26 20:53:45 You know of the Rosenkrantz family? Freiarr Insel... Jul 26 20:54:44 * Faulk nods Jul 26 20:54:47 I do Jul 26 20:55:31 Dr Rosenkrantz was not the intended Freiarr, his brother was... Jul 26 20:56:51 I do not know the family that well Jul 26 20:58:04 * Morgan nods Jul 26 20:59:18 Leopold Rosenkrantz, the intended Freiarr went exploring, got shipwrecked and... well, young man discovered by a young woman, I'm sure you can guess what occurred. Jul 26 21:00:24 * Faulk nods Jul 26 21:00:28 I can. Jul 26 21:01:57 After that, Leopold went into a monastery to research the beasts of folklore, so Josef took the Freiarrdom... Leopold had fathered a child, raised by the woman and her betrothed... they called him David, David Forrester. Jul 26 21:02:25 * Faulk looks surprised Jul 26 21:02:41 And so our Duchess came to being Jul 26 21:03:18 * Morgan nods Jul 26 21:04:01 That isn't common knowledge just yet so I'd ask you keep that to yourself... but she is part Eisen, daughter of the rightful Freiarr Insel. Small world isn't it Jul 26 21:05:28 That would seem quite fanciful from anyone else Jul 26 21:06:47 The fanciful part would be when she was younger, she was taken very ill... in Tawstock, where she lived, Lord Torrington had a visitor, an old friend who was a doctor who dedicated a great deal of time to healing Molly... One doctor Josef Rosenkrantz Jul 26 21:08:03 * Faulk laughs Jul 26 21:08:13 What are the chances of such a thing?! Jul 26 21:08:50 * Morgan nods Jul 26 21:09:27 quite... anyway, I understand that your son is now searching for a bride... I'm thinking of introducing him to Molly's cousin Jul 26 21:10:10 Is she Vaticine? Jul 26 21:10:45 * Morgan scratches his nose Jul 26 21:11:14 No... but Alarice wasn't when she married Karsten, and neither was Molly wasn't objectionist when we married Jul 26 21:12:25 * Faulk nods Jul 26 21:13:13 He is very eligible, as you can imagine. What sort of young woman is she? Jul 26 21:13:42 Quiet, kind, charming. She's a very sweet girl Jul 26 21:15:25 * Faulk nods Jul 26 21:15:54 Isiah is drawn to women of a more... mercurial bent... Jul 26 21:16:13 That has not served him well so far Jul 26 21:18:23 No. I would prefer to see him establish something meaningful and stable now. A good, pure girl eager to be a mother. Jul 26 21:19:15 I shall arrange the introduction? Jul 26 21:20:04 * Faulk nods Jul 26 21:20:11 Is she out at Court yet? Jul 26 21:20:51 Not yet. Given my... reputation and inexperience at court, I've asked my brother to coach her to prepare Jul 26 21:22:22 * Faulk nods Jul 26 21:22:51 Edward is an accomplished courtier, and his reputation has turned around well in recent months Jul 26 21:23:42 His reputation wasn't nearly so deserved as many thought Jul 26 21:24:33 Very few reputations are deserved Jul 26 21:25:29 * Morgan nods Jul 26 21:26:07 I've gone a little off track... what I had intended to say was that, despite his making it clear he blames me for Alarice... we managed a whole conversation without any challenges, and not a punch was thrown Jul 26 21:26:24 * Faulk smiles Jul 26 21:26:53 I understand my heir is at times not an easy man to like. His Vodacce heritage has an effect. Jul 26 21:27:37 * Morgan nods Jul 26 21:27:54 It makes me concerned for the future... though, we both made assertions that we would like to trust the other Jul 26 21:28:54 * Faulk nods Jul 26 21:29:12 I am hoping Isiah will grow up, rapidly. Jul 26 21:30:26 With no offence meant... so do I Jul 26 21:30:57 No offensive taken, Morgan. A wife and children will be the making of him. Jul 26 21:32:19 We'll see I suppose... I have monopolised too much of your time Jul 26 21:33:48 I have monopolised yours, I am sure you have much to prepare for your night out Jul 26 21:35:01 I can't say I'm looking forward to it Jul 26 21:36:33 I am happy to enjoy the company of your lovely womenfolk in the warm Jul 26 21:37:31 Don't rub it in... Jul 26 21:38:00 * Faulk smiles Jul 26 21:39:09 Use the time to steer your brother through this transition. It is the end of his childhood in a way that is only almost equalled by the loss of a Father Jul 26 21:40:16 I am rather expecting to be on the outskirts of things tonight... he has his closest friends with him Jul 26 21:41:55 They have been quite lively the last few evenings Jul 26 21:42:04 * Morgan nods Jul 26 21:42:09 That doesn't surprise me in the slightest Jul 26 21:43:01 * Faulk finishes his whiskey Jul 26 21:43:25 We will talk more tomorrow evening. But do come back to me with an idea. Jul 26 21:44:02 I'll try Jul 26 21:45:28 * Faulk nods, letting Morgan out Jul 26 21:48:40 I am sure there will be many people wanting to speak to a Duke. Even if he doesn't have a duchy. Jul 26 21:49:50 Depends on the look on my face I think... Jul 26 21:51:12 * Faulk nods his head towards where Molly is embracing Stef Jul 26 21:51:26 That should improve the look upon your face Jul 26 21:51:59 * Morgan mutters Jul 26 21:52:02 Damn Jul 26 21:53:50 There is a problem? Jul 26 21:54:09 How am I supposed to look unapproachable in the face of such happiness? Jul 26 21:55:23 You aren't. Jul 26 21:55:49 I suppose I'll have to... mingle, then Jul 26 21:57:24 * Faulk nods Jul 26 21:57:36 That is what a Duke does Jul 26 21:58:48 Then I shall endeavour to not embarrass my Eisenfurst... or my friend. Oh, I met Eisenfurstin Posen Jul 26 22:00:09 * Faulk nods Jul 26 22:00:24 She is as sharp as any man Jul 26 22:00:58 Easily. Jul 26 22:02:17 She is very progressive in her legal rulings Jul 26 22:03:10 I can't say that surprises me. I don't think she likes me very much Jul 26 22:04:18 I do not think she likes me either Jul 26 22:05:05 * Morgan sighs Jul 26 22:05:06 Oh well Jul 26 22:09:37 * Faulk nods. A Freiarr comes over, introductions are made, pleasantries are given, small talk is had. Then he is introduced to someone else, and then someone else, and more people. It's all very tedious and exactly the noble nonsense he doesn't enjoy. A clock strikes three, with him and the others being due to leave at four Jul 26 22:10:39 * Morgan makes his excuses and goes to find Molly Jul 26 22:12:21 * Faulk is now known as Molly Jul 26 22:12:46 * Molly is stood with Varick and a blonde man with a moustache Jul 26 22:13:21 R: And I would fly over the mountains and see all the world... Jul 26 22:13:35 *Varick looks interested, nodding rapidly Jul 26 22:14:06 I assume... you are Lady Hapsburgs cousin Jul 26 22:15:08 *He bows* Indeed I am, your Excellency. Call me, Rief, please Jul 26 22:15:43 * Morgan inclines his head Jul 26 22:15:49 You have quite the wanderlust I understand Jul 26 22:17:27 R: I have long preferred the sky above my head than an roof, yes Jul 26 22:17:44 * Morgan nods Jul 26 22:17:54 Are you joining us this evening? Jul 26 22:20:08 R: I am, yes. I have been looking forward to it *there is the slightest Ussuran hint to his words* Jul 26 22:21:21 * Morgan nods Jul 26 22:23:14 * Molly looks at Morgan Jul 26 22:23:30 Were you looking for me? Jul 26 22:25:47 I thought I'd spend a few minutes with you before I get ready for this evening... we leave at four Jul 26 22:27:21 * Molly nods, excusing the three of them from Mina's cousin Jul 26 22:27:54 V: quietly I like him, Papa. He was telling me about living in the wild Jul 26 22:28:11 Oh really? Jul 26 22:29:54 V: He said people meet themselves in the wild on their own, but I don't understand Jul 26 22:30:07 * Molly is leading them towards Inga Jul 26 22:30:12 They come to understand who they really are inside Jul 26 22:32:22 V: That makes more sense Jul 26 22:32:33 * Morgan nods Jul 26 22:34:09 * Molly leaves Varick with Inga with the assurance Morgan will definitely say goodbye before he goes, and heads into the quieter hall Jul 26 22:34:27 Should we go to find your things for tonight? Jul 26 22:35:28 Better had Jul 26 22:36:10 * Molly nods Jul 26 22:36:18 It is best to talk in private? Jul 26 22:36:47 Hmm? Jul 26 22:38:11 Whatever you sought me out for Jul 26 22:41:41 Just to be near you... though... I spoke to the Eisenfurst Jul 26 22:42:26 * Molly smiles, taking his hand Jul 26 22:42:40 I am near you, always Jul 26 22:43:05 * Morgan nods Jul 26 22:44:09 * Molly doesn't let go until they are in the room with the door shut Jul 26 22:44:22 What did you say? Jul 26 22:45:10 That we desire to have children... Jul 26 22:46:01 * Molly nods, smiling Jul 26 22:46:08 And what said he? Jul 26 22:46:39 * Morgan recounts the conversation Jul 26 22:47:34 * Molly nods Jul 26 22:47:55 I... don't know what to make of that... Jul 26 22:48:05 * Molly sits on the end of the bed Jul 26 22:48:07 No... Jul 26 22:49:56 * Molly thinks about it Jul 26 22:50:08 It sounds like there might be some wiggle room Jul 26 22:50:29 * Morgan nods Jul 26 22:50:30 aye Jul 26 22:51:55 But only if we present a plan Jul 26 22:52:29 * Morgan nods Jul 26 22:53:01 * Molly shrugs slightly Jul 26 22:53:06 I have no idea Jul 26 22:53:15 No, nor do I currently Jul 26 22:55:17 I suppose I hadn't really thought of it this way Jul 26 22:57:26 * Morgan nods Jul 26 22:58:33 We will have to think then, my love Jul 26 22:59:22 * Morgan nods Jul 26 22:59:24 Aye, we will Jul 26 23:00:49 Do you have any thoughts already? Jul 26 23:01:29 No, not really Jul 26 23:02:25 * Molly nods Jul 26 23:02:53 Perhaps we could request to cut the time to two years? Jul 26 23:03:07 * Morgan shrugs Jul 26 23:03:09 I don't know Jul 26 23:03:41 That is not soon enough? Jul 26 23:05:35 We could not keep sailing to Capperlucia with a baby Jul 26 23:06:47 No... either you would need to remain here in Eisen, or we would need to entrust our child to your parents. Jul 26 23:07:07 * Morgan sighs Jul 26 23:08:03 Which we do not want to do. Jul 26 23:09:22 No, we do not Jul 26 23:10:01 * Molly nods Jul 26 23:11:21 So that leaves that either we make a last trip when I am increasing and then another Ambassador steps in, or we ask to reduce the time and wait until my time finishes before conceiving Jul 26 23:16:09 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jul 26 23:16:16 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
