**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jul 27 04:16:04 2022 Jul 27 04:16:04 * Disconnected () **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Jul 27 04:16:04 2022 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jul 27 04:16:15 2022 Jul 27 04:16:15 * Now talking on #7thsea Jul 27 12:40:03 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Jul 27 15:46:36 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jul 27 17:35:43 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Jul 27 17:42:04 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Jul 27 17:49:07 [23:00:50] Molly: 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 27 17:49:29 * Morgan nods Jul 27 17:52:06 Perhaps take some time tonight to think. Even if we make the agreement change, we could still wait Jul 27 17:53:06 At what cost... Jul 27 17:53:59 In thinking about it? Jul 27 17:54:49 If we lose some or all of the things we have been given, there comes a point where it'd make more sense to do it for ourselves Jul 27 17:58:08 * MollyK nods Jul 27 17:59:00 At all costs, we surely need the titles and Grafdom Jul 27 17:59:43 I did remind him that removing either would be damaging both to our chances of success and all our reputations Jul 27 17:59:57 * MollyK nods Jul 27 18:00:12 It would seem spiteful Jul 27 18:00:22 * Morgan nods Jul 27 18:00:42 But it is common for the rewards to be reassessed if an agreement is changed Jul 27 18:02:10 * MollyK nods Jul 27 18:02:28 Shall I use my charms on him this evening? Jul 27 18:02:38 * Morgan smiles Jul 27 18:02:47 Aye. Jul 27 18:04:10 * MollyK watches him Jul 27 18:04:25 As you are not going to be here for me to use my charms on you... Jul 27 18:05:43 No, sadly not Jul 27 18:11:28 I am sure we have a minute or two now... sit with me? Jul 27 18:12:01 * Morgan nods, sitting down Jul 27 18:12:50 * MollyK fidgets so she can softly kiss him "just something to help you stay warm..." Jul 27 18:13:19 I will miss you terribly Jul 27 18:15:14 * MollyK smiles, kissing along his jaw "And I, you" Jul 27 18:16:40 * Morgan nods Jul 27 18:19:10 You'll be thinking of me, I hope? Jul 27 18:19:15 * Morgan nods Jul 27 18:19:17 Of course Jul 27 18:21:18 * MollyK gently kisses down his neck Jul 27 18:21:25 I will hope to dream of you Jul 27 18:21:37 I hope so Jul 27 18:26:45 And you of me, hmm? *she gently sucks on his skin* Jul 27 18:27:03 * Morgan nods Jul 27 18:27:07 I hope so Jul 27 18:27:24 * MollyK pulls away Jul 27 18:27:38 You seem distracted, my love Jul 27 18:27:46 I am anxious Jul 27 18:28:04 * MollyK watches him Jul 27 18:28:06 Why? Jul 27 18:28:51 Aside from the potential fallout with Faulk... I am concerned about nightmares Jul 27 18:29:33 * MollyK nods "should you speak to Edward about getting stuck?" Jul 27 18:30:04 Given the timing of when that happens, I don't think its a risk... I have said that if I wake up confused, to knock me out, immediately Jul 27 18:30:21 * MollyK nods Jul 27 18:30:42 It is more a general concern? Jul 27 18:30:49 * Morgan nods Jul 27 18:31:26 * MollyK nods Jul 27 18:31:33 You have the balm? Jul 27 18:31:40 * Morgan nods Jul 27 18:33:09 Do you wish to take something of mine with you? Jul 27 18:34:02 * Morgan nods Jul 27 18:35:23 * MollyK takes her navy handkerchief from the front of her bodice Jul 27 18:35:33 I did think you might Jul 27 18:35:41 * Morgan smiles Jul 27 18:35:43 Thank you my love Jul 27 18:35:59 * MollyK smiles "my pleasure" Jul 27 18:36:11 It might well be, tomorrow Jul 27 18:37:01 Well, you will need to be heated up again after tonight... Jul 27 18:37:21 * Morgan nods Jul 27 18:37:30 We won't see much of Edward or Mina tomorrow... Jul 27 18:38:13 * MollyK nods Jul 27 18:38:30 They will be the centre of attention and in great demand Jul 27 18:39:06 Ah... no... he is expected to... dance to the brides beat... which I assume means they'll be banging like a barn door in a storm Jul 27 18:40:51 * MollyK laughs Jul 27 18:41:22 Liebes herz! Jul 27 18:41:57 * Morgan chuckles Jul 27 18:42:10 I'm not expected to where these awful things this afternoon am I? Jul 27 18:43:17 Out in the wilderness? I would not think so... *she smiles* were you hoping for a hand in taking them off? Jul 27 18:44:06 I wouldn't complain Jul 27 18:45:13 * MollyK nods Jul 27 18:45:33 You'd best stand up then, my love Jul 27 18:45:54 * Morgan nods, standing up Jul 27 18:46:10 I know tomorrow after the ceremony we are all invited to watch him cut her dress off... Jul 27 18:46:21 I'm sorry? Jul 27 18:46:30 * MollyK runs her hands up the back of his thighs Jul 27 18:47:19 Don't you recall? Tomorrow morning we ladies sew her into her dress. After the ceremony when they go up to consummate it, he cuts it open... Jul 27 18:48:28 Still less embarrassing than what I have agreed to... Jul 27 18:48:32 * MollyK starts caressing his bottom Jul 27 18:48:35 Oh? Jul 27 18:49:08 I have to _dance_... with _Diana_... and others, but that one... Jul 27 18:50:00 * MollyK giggles Jul 27 18:50:04 Oh dear! Jul 27 18:50:45 * Morgan nods Jul 27 18:52:27 * MollyK brings her hands to his waistband Jul 27 18:52:48 I suppose I will be dancing with Edward's friends again? Jul 27 18:53:03 I suppose so Jul 27 18:54:38 You do not mind, hmm? Jul 27 18:55:03 * MollyK hooks her fingers in, moving them towards the front Jul 27 18:56:01 I wouldn't go _that_ far Jul 27 18:56:37 * MollyK nods Jul 27 18:56:50 You'll save your waltzes for me? Jul 27 18:57:06 I expect so Jul 27 18:59:41 * MollyK nods, undoing each button at a leisurely pace Jul 27 19:00:02 I know you like it when I am close and we go slowly... *she smiles* Jul 27 19:01:08 Uhhh, yes... I do Jul 27 19:03:17 * MollyK undoes the inner buttons too, dropping the breeches down and leaving him in just his shirt and stockings. She looks up Jul 27 19:03:28 Are you keeping the same shirt? Jul 27 19:03:51 May as well Jul 27 19:04:54 * MollyK runs her hands up the sides of his thighs towards his hips "you do not need me lifting it off you then, hmm?" Jul 27 19:05:06 * Morgan shrugs Jul 27 19:06:19 * MollyK grasps his hips "Alas, I do not think we have time for what I wish..." Jul 27 19:06:23 No? Jul 27 19:06:31 * MollyK shakes her head Jul 27 19:06:45 You need to dress and get ready Jul 27 19:06:53 * Morgan nods Jul 27 19:07:09 We have to hunt and catch our food... Jul 27 19:08:14 * MollyK nods, loosening her grip on him before pressing a brief kiss on the cotton fabric right over his head Jul 27 19:08:22 That will be easy Jul 27 19:08:28 * Morgan mutters Jul 27 19:08:29 tease Jul 27 19:08:39 And yes... I'm going hunting in the kitchen Jul 27 19:08:52 * MollyK smiles, doing it again Jul 27 19:08:59 You are smuggling food out? Jul 27 19:09:15 * Morgan sighs Jul 27 19:09:29 No, I think Edward would be... I don't know, possibly even offended by it Jul 27 19:09:37 * MollyK nods Jul 27 19:09:57 Maybe he would Jul 27 19:10:26 * MollyK places several kisses up his length, still with the fabric between him and her mouth Jul 27 19:10:44 That is deeply unfair my love Jul 27 19:11:17 Is it? *she's close enough that he can feel the warm breath of her words permeate* Jul 27 19:11:24 * Morgan nods Jul 27 19:11:26 yes Jul 27 19:11:58 Why is that? *she kisses back down* Jul 27 19:12:51 Because it is teasing when we do not have time to do more Jul 27 19:14:13 You are not enjoying the delayed gratification of that? Jul 27 19:14:31 Yes, and no Jul 27 19:15:27 I dare say we could manage something if we were very fast...? Jul 27 19:15:58 Best not Jul 27 19:16:37 * MollyK nods sadly Jul 27 19:16:44 I will stop teasing then Jul 27 19:17:06 * Morgan nods Jul 27 19:18:45 * MollyK moves back a little Jul 27 19:19:00 Perhaps we will be lucky and dream of that... Jul 27 19:19:31 *his trousers are hung over a chair* Jul 27 19:20:50 * Morgan nods, getting his clothes on Jul 27 19:20:54 I hope so Jul 27 19:21:51 * MollyK watches him before gently folding his breeches Jul 27 19:22:06 What did you think of Mina's cousin? Jul 27 19:22:25 I'm not sure yet Jul 27 19:24:02 * MollyK nods Jul 27 19:24:11 Varick likes him Jul 27 19:24:18 I noticed as much Jul 27 19:26:27 Stew is eager to see you Jul 27 19:26:33 Stef * Jul 27 19:27:06 Oh? Jul 27 19:28:35 She likes you Jul 27 19:29:56 * Morgan smiles Jul 27 19:30:08 That is nice to hear Jul 27 19:31:18 * MollyK nods. There's a knock at the door. She smiles a little, shaking her head Jul 27 19:32:41 Come Jul 27 19:40:27 * MollyK has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Jul 27 19:41:04 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Jul 27 19:41:19 * MollyK is now known as Adalbrecht Jul 27 19:41:30 * Adalbrecht opens the door Jul 27 19:42:13 Are you ready? Edward and Mina are going to throw the bridal plate before we leave Jul 27 19:42:30 * Morgan nods Jul 27 19:42:36 Aye Jul 27 19:43:10 * Adalbrecht goes, shutting the door. Molly smiles a little Jul 27 19:44:17 That could have been quite an education! Jul 27 19:44:52 * Morgan nods Jul 27 19:44:54 I'd say so Jul 27 19:45:06 * Adalbrecht is now known as Molly Jul 27 19:45:38 It is as if he has a sixth sense! Jul 27 19:46:20 Maybe he has superhuman hearing Jul 27 19:46:41 * Molly smiles, getting her cloak Jul 27 19:46:47 Maybe he does Jul 27 19:47:02 * Morgan nods, grabbing his heavy coat Jul 27 19:48:05 I wonder how Edward is feeling about this now Jul 27 19:48:21 More scared than he was before, I would imagine Jul 27 19:48:35 The stakes are high, aren't they? Jul 27 19:49:14 * Morgan nods Jul 27 19:49:17 Yes, they are Jul 27 19:51:46 * Molly frowns Jul 27 19:51:53 Did you feel that way? Jul 27 19:53:17 I don't recall Jul 27 19:56:28 * Molly has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Jul 27 19:58:00 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Jul 27 19:58:42 [19:43:49] Molly: I see. Do you have everything? Jul 27 19:59:02 I just recall begging Theus to let the damn plate break Jul 27 19:59:56 * MollyK nods Jul 27 20:00:17 I wanted to give you the heirs you needed for Sudlachenburg Jul 27 20:00:48 * Morgan nods Jul 27 20:02:47 * MollyK takes a deep breath Jul 27 20:02:53 Let's go Jul 27 20:03:08 * Morgan nods Jul 27 20:03:16 Does Stef need to see me tonight before we go? Jul 27 20:05:23 No, there's no rush Jul 27 20:05:30 * Morgan nods Jul 27 20:05:33 Probably tomorrow then Jul 27 20:06:03 * MollyK nods. Adalbrecht is in the hall, a box under his arm Jul 27 20:06:23 A: It is a pity they will not have a polterabend. Jul 27 20:06:59 * Morgan shrugs Jul 27 20:07:19 I'd suggest being grateful he's even having a bridal plate Jul 27 20:07:58 A: It is very exciting Jul 27 20:08:54 I recall it being nervewracking Jul 27 20:11:12 A: He will manage Jul 27 20:11:31 * MollyK glances at Morgan, rolling her eyes Jul 27 20:13:29 Hopefully Theus will see fit to have it shatter Jul 27 20:14:19 A: That is the hope. Perhaps they can outdo you. Jul 27 20:15:07 It is not a competition Jul 27 20:15:51 A: Several children would be preferable. Jul 27 20:16:12 Healthy and happy comes first Jul 27 20:17:34 A: followed by them being sons. Jul 27 20:17:47 * MollyK walks purposefully down the hall Jul 27 20:18:05 Adalbrecht Jul 27 20:19:42 It is certainly an expectation we women are aware of! Jul 27 20:21:12 * Morgan watches his father Jul 27 20:22:38 A: It has always been the case that the Grafin supplies two male children for the Grafdom's future Jul 27 20:27:53 * MollyK just nods a little Jul 27 20:30:45 *Adalbrecht leads them down to the courtyard by the chapel. Edward, Mina, Jarvie, Grendlik, Christopher, Verity, Varick, HH and Inga are all gathered there. Jul 27 20:32:45 * Morgan wanders over to Edward Jul 27 20:34:47 * MollyK is now known as Edward Jul 27 20:35:12 * Edward is stood with his hands in his pockets, watching the excitement of the others Jul 27 20:36:22 How are you feeling? Jul 27 20:37:40 Tense Jul 27 20:38:36 * Morgan speaks quietly Jul 27 20:39:18 I turned my back on Theus... right up until the moment I faced this, then I was begging for his help. Perhaps a quick word to him might help... Jul 27 20:40:31 * Edward motions him aside, though the others are busy chatting anyway Jul 27 20:40:42 Will you pray with me? Jul 27 20:40:50 If you wish Jul 27 20:42:03 * Edward nods, keeping his back to the others, eyes closed and hands clasped Jul 27 20:42:31 * Morgan stands beside him, doing the same Jul 27 20:46:15 * Edward pats him on the arm about a minute later Jul 27 20:46:20 Thank you, brother Jul 27 20:46:39 * Morgan nods Jul 27 20:47:48 On our way later, I want to talk to you and father about a serious matter. Nothing impacting anyones future, just something to be aware of tonight Jul 27 20:48:36 * Edward nods Jul 27 20:49:53 Of course. *A couple of servants carry out a wooden bench, and another sweeps snow from a space on the ground in front of it* Jul 27 20:50:19 This catching what we eat today... Jul 27 20:51:59 Yes? Jul 27 20:52:27 We catch it on the way to our sleeping area... Jul 27 20:54:14 * Edward nods Jul 27 20:54:19 Or from our camp Jul 27 20:54:29 * Morgan nods Jul 27 20:54:47 I wonder how difficult sandwiches from the kitchen are to catch Jul 27 20:57:30 If you want sandwiches, made by the staff, my brother, you can have them. The rest of us will keep up the tradition without you *He is smirking* Jul 27 20:58:39 * Morgan 's face becomes serious Jul 27 20:58:55 I would not let you down. Jul 27 20:59:07 besides... those ham sandwiches are a bugger to catch Jul 27 20:59:25 The trick is to use a butterfly net Jul 27 20:59:59 Don't be absurd, everyone knows you use a fishing line Jul 27 21:01:26 * Edward laughs. Mina comes to them Jul 27 21:01:35 * Edward is now known as Mina Jul 27 21:02:30 Good afternoon, Morgan. We have no caught a moment to greet each other yet. *she looks very polite and courtly* Jul 27 21:03:45 No, we have not... a trespass on my side, I'm afraid. How are you? Jul 27 21:04:48 I am very well, thank you. How are you? Jul 27 21:05:08 * Morgan nods Jul 27 21:05:43 Aside from not looking forward to sleeping outside in this weather, I am well Jul 27 21:07:10 Thank you for participating in our traditions Jul 27 21:07:55 * Morgan inclines his head Jul 27 21:08:14 We have enough superstitions and traditions in Sudlachenburg to have taught me respect for the traditions of others Jul 27 21:08:22 * Mina smiles Jul 27 21:08:28 Like this one? Jul 27 21:08:48 * Morgan smiles Jul 27 21:09:07 *Edward kicks the snow from his boots before climbing on the bench* Jul 27 21:09:32 I'm a practical person, based very much in reason... but the idea that a plate can tell you the number of children you will have seems utterly normal to me... Jul 27 21:11:31 * Mina speaks quietly "do you believe it?" Jul 27 21:12:00 * Morgan nods Jul 27 21:12:14 Have faith little sister... and if in doubt, throw it out of sight Jul 27 21:14:09 * Mina smiles. Edward holds his hand to her "Up we come, kick the snow off. Steady now" She gets up beside him. He's keeping a careful eye on her Jul 27 21:14:51 * Morgan moves, walking behind them as he moves towards Molly Jul 27 21:14:59 Land it flat, brother, hard Jul 27 21:16:16 * Mina is now known as Molly Jul 27 21:17:09 * Molly is waiting for him, in the middle of their family group. They're all watching Adalbrecht take the plate to Edward and Mina. Jul 27 21:17:22 whispering is he alright? Jul 27 21:18:30 They're both nervous Jul 27 21:19:40 * Molly nods Jul 27 21:19:47 Understandable Jul 27 21:19:56 * Morgan nods Jul 27 21:20:15 *Verity is on Morgan's other side* V: Isn't this exciting?! Jul 27 21:20:41 They're both extremely nervous... Jul 27 21:22:03 V: It is daunting, isn't it? Jul 27 21:22:14 More for them than most Jul 27 21:23:27 *she nods* let us keep our smiles, no matter what it says. I remember how when ours only broke in two your Grandfather was very annoyed Jul 27 21:23:34 V* Jul 27 21:24:30 He was too hard on you... father has some of his tendencies, perhaps a word in his ear to not press the matter? Jul 27 21:28:00 *Verity nods, and when Adalbrecht reaches her she whispers to him. Molly takes Morgan's hand, holding it firmly* Jul 27 21:29:14 *Edward and Mina hold the plate between them, and he is talking to her very quietly, even Morgan can't hear. She is nodding. As with Molly and Morgan's plate, Adalbrecht counts down* Jul 27 21:29:52 * Morgan mutters quietly Jul 27 21:31:14 * Molly squeezes gently. Edward and Mina toss the plate, and it does land fairly flat as Morgan instructed, with a good, loud crack Jul 27 21:32:38 * Morgan nods slightly, looking at the plate Jul 27 21:34:11 *everyone is making a beeline for the broken plate. Edward and Mina are still on the bench, his arm around her waist Jul 27 21:34:46 * Morgan walks towards Edward and Mina, offering to help them down Jul 27 21:35:29 *Mina accepts his help, getting down carefully. She looks very happy* Jul 27 21:35:34 * Molly is now known as Mina Jul 27 21:35:43 Thank you, Morgan Jul 27 21:35:59 You are most welcome Jul 27 21:37:27 * Mina goes to be congratulated by all of the others, hugged by Molly, then Verity Jul 27 21:37:33 * Mina is now known as Edward Jul 27 21:38:07 * Edward gets down. He looks very relieved Jul 27 21:39:07 Now then little brother... you can relax Jul 27 21:41:35 * Edward nods, exhaling slowly Jul 27 21:41:53 I am glad it's over Jul 27 21:43:48 * Morgan nods Jul 27 21:43:49 I know Jul 27 21:44:15 * Edward nods, looking at the pieces Jul 27 21:44:30 * Morgan turns to look Jul 27 21:44:35 *there are six neat, equal bits* Jul 27 21:46:42 * Morgan nods Jul 27 21:46:46 Going to have your work cut out Jul 27 21:46:58 * Edward smiles Jul 27 21:47:09 I look forward to it Jul 27 21:47:39 I've no doubt Jul 27 21:48:00 *Adalbrecht hugs Edward, patting him on the back* Well done, Edwrad Jul 27 21:49:39 I haven't done anything yet, Father *he winks at Morgan over Adalbrecht's shoulder* Jul 27 21:50:10 * Morgan rubs his forehead before shaking his head Jul 27 21:50:15 *Adalbrecht doesn't appear to get this* Jul 27 21:51:07 I will find the others and meet you both at the stables? Jul 27 21:51:33 * Morgan nods Jul 27 21:51:43 We'll say our goodbyes, then Jul 27 21:52:45 * Edward lets Adalbrecht pick up the pieces, offering Mina his arm as he goes by. Adalbrecht carefully puts the bits in the box again Jul 27 21:52:51 * Edward is now known as Adalbrecht Jul 27 21:52:59 Six is plenty Jul 27 21:53:28 Sixteen between us Jul 27 21:54:24 * Adalbrecht nods Jul 27 21:54:34 A whole army of Koertigs Jul 27 21:54:52 mmmm Jul 27 21:56:26 * Adalbrecht puts the lid back on Jul 27 21:58:27 Go and say your goodbyes Jul 27 21:58:47 * Morgan nods, moving to Molly Jul 27 22:00:04 * Adalbrecht is now known as Molly Jul 27 22:00:16 * Molly is talking to Inga Jul 27 22:00:27 Time for us to go Jul 27 22:02:02 * Molly nods, moving away Jul 27 22:02:13 You'll take care, my love? Jul 27 22:02:24 Of course Jul 27 22:04:17 * Molly nods Jul 27 22:04:39 Try not to get frostbite, hmm? *she smiles* Jul 27 22:05:05 * Morgan nods Jul 27 22:05:10 I'm probably the safest of all Jul 27 22:05:31 * Molly smiles Jul 27 22:05:46 You can keep your extremities safe and warm?
