**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Aug 29 10:37:56 2022 Aug 29 10:37:56 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Aug 29 11:19:36 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Aug 29 11:20:26 * MollyK stands up, carefully taking off the negligee Aug 29 11:20:33 Why did I marry him? Aug 29 11:23:20 You never fell in the pool, so I'd never suggested taking you to Carleon to get you verified... Jaeger did instead Aug 29 11:24:40 * MollyK nods. The bruising on her shoulder from the other day is still visible as she folds the gown Aug 29 11:25:07 So there had been nothing between us... that makes sense Aug 29 11:25:40 You'd still had a crush on me... I'd still developed some feelings for you but then... you were gone. He forbade you from speaking to me Aug 29 11:26:15 * MollyK nods Aug 29 11:26:22 That sounds quite plausible Aug 29 11:26:35 * Morgan nods Aug 29 11:27:23 You had two children... he beat you... he got himself killed after he'd mortgaged everything to the hilt and gambled it away Aug 29 11:28:11 * MollyK sits at the dresser Aug 29 11:28:52 I cannot imagine him having beaten me. I can entirely imagine him being that financially irresponsible, he did warn me it was one of his failings Aug 29 11:30:18 * Morgan nods, pulling his clothes on Aug 29 11:30:53 It was not blue toned? Aug 29 11:31:01 No Aug 29 11:32:37 * MollyK nods. She runs her fingers over the mark with a little smile as she looks at it in the reflection Aug 29 11:33:04 I expected you to dream of them again, I think. I think it is part of your healing Aug 29 11:33:18 So you said... I don't know... Aug 29 11:33:40 Would you prefer that you do not? Aug 29 11:33:51 * MollyK starts brushing her hair Aug 29 11:34:25 Its complicated Aug 29 11:34:39 * MollyK nods Aug 29 11:34:49 Nice and also painful? Aug 29 11:34:56 * Morgan nods Aug 29 11:35:09 Aye. And lets be a honest, its a fundamental change in who I am Aug 29 11:35:40 The hair? Aug 29 11:36:40 Not holding the pain to me... not holding on to the loss of them like its all that keeps me afloat Aug 29 11:37:11 * MollyK nods Aug 29 11:37:43 It is as if keeping them alive through the pain has been your purpose Aug 29 11:37:58 * Morgan nods, looking vaguely ashamed of himself Aug 29 11:40:01 * MollyK comes to him, wrapping her arms around him Aug 29 11:40:05 Hey... Aug 29 11:41:36 I've not exactly behaved in a manner she would have approved of Aug 29 11:42:52 I do not think she would have wanted you to put your life on hold so long, but also that she would have had so much compassion for you that you have Aug 29 11:46:28 * Morgan nods Aug 29 11:47:33 * MollyK looks up at him Aug 29 11:47:59 I wish you could show yourself that compassion. Aug 29 11:48:25 * Morgan shrugs Aug 29 11:48:28 In time maybe Aug 29 11:49:34 * MollyK sighs Aug 29 11:49:55 I won't give up encouraging you to do so Aug 29 11:50:44 * Morgan nods Aug 29 11:50:46 I know Aug 29 11:51:58 * MollyK nods Aug 29 11:52:36 You have other purposes now, ones I think she would approve of Aug 29 11:52:56 * Morgan nods Aug 29 11:52:57 aye Aug 29 11:54:13 * MollyK lets him go Aug 29 11:55:18 I think for the others to let go and fully accept Florrie as she is, they need to see you have too Aug 29 11:55:36 That is... difficult. Aug 29 11:56:29 It is. But look what progress you have made already Aug 29 11:56:54 * Morgan nods Aug 29 11:58:23 And if you can do that, you can do this. I have faith in your strength. Aug 29 11:58:32 Thankyou blossom Aug 29 11:58:49 * MollyK smiles Aug 29 11:59:05 Have you considered going to the chapel and talking to her? Aug 29 11:59:45 * Morgan shakes his head Aug 29 11:59:48 No, I hadn't Aug 29 12:00:54 * MollyK nods Aug 29 12:01:10 That might help you? Aug 29 12:01:17 It would not upset you? Aug 29 12:03:57 * MollyK shakes her head "no, my love. I suppose I assumed you always have done. I do so when I am very lost for how to help and support you" Aug 29 12:04:35 * Morgan shakes his head Aug 29 12:04:52 It was too painful... I might try today. Aug 29 12:05:01 * MollyK nods Aug 29 12:05:47 I will let you go then, I should imagine the day will be full of family activities Aug 29 12:07:19 * Morgan shrugs Aug 29 12:07:21 I imagine so Aug 29 12:08:01 * MollyK frowns slightly Aug 29 12:08:07 I have upset you? Aug 29 12:08:37 No, not at all Aug 29 12:09:36 * MollyK nods, looking relieved Aug 29 12:09:43 Alright, my love Aug 29 12:09:55 I think I'll do that now Aug 29 12:10:28 * MollyK nods Aug 29 12:10:36 I'll see you in a while Aug 29 12:10:50 * Morgan nods, moving to kiss her before leaving and heading for the kitchen Aug 29 12:12:50 *it's already quite busy. Despite it being Prophets Mass where everyone should be enjoying the day, the staff seem harder at work than ever Aug 29 12:14:08 * Morgan makes a point to not get in the way as he makes his coffee Aug 29 12:14:12 Breakfast, is it? Aug 29 12:15:30 *One maid nods* Always have a big breakfast on Prophets Mass morn, it was the late Lady's tradition Aug 29 12:16:26 I see... Anything need doing? Aug 29 12:18:06 *she looks confused* No? Aug 29 12:18:28 * Morgan smiles slightly Aug 29 12:18:40 I was offering my assistance Aug 29 12:20:41 *she shakes her head rapidly* It is not necessary, your Excellency Aug 29 12:21:16 * Morgan nods, making a large jug of coffee before picking up his cup Aug 29 12:21:42 Then I'll stop making you uncomfortable and get out of your way... the rest of the jug is for you in here Aug 29 12:22:17 *she thanks him profusely * Aug 29 12:22:41 * Morgan inclines his head before heading out of the kitchen towards the gazebo Aug 29 12:27:22 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Aug 29 13:15:06 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Aug 29 17:26:27 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Aug 29 19:14:12 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Aug 29 19:14:45 *no one is out there, and it is still quite dark* Aug 29 19:16:16 * Morgan sits down, waiting for sunrise Aug 29 19:17:49 * MollyK is now known as Edward Aug 29 19:18:09 * Edward appears before the sun does, sitting next to him Aug 29 19:18:13 Morgan. Aug 29 19:18:23 Edward Aug 29 19:18:38 How are you? Aug 29 19:18:52 * Morgan sips his coffee Aug 29 19:19:00 I'm mostly alright. How're you? Aug 29 19:19:53 * Edward nods Aug 29 19:20:33 About the same. I am happy to have you all here, but much about the future needs resolving. Aug 29 19:20:46 Like? Aug 29 19:24:21 Joseff wandered into our room last night. He was looking for Maria. He wanted to say happy Prophets Mass to her. Aug 29 19:25:11 * Morgan frowns Aug 29 19:25:18 Ah. That is unpleasant Aug 29 19:26:57 * Edward nods, lighting a cigar Aug 29 19:27:36 Mina thinks it is time to have a dedicated nurse, and I think she is right Aug 29 19:27:44 * Morgan nods Aug 29 19:27:51 You need to take over as Freiarr Aug 29 19:29:51 * Edward nods Aug 29 19:29:56 I know. Aug 29 19:30:55 Is there funds enough to pay for a nurse? Aug 29 19:32:06 * Edward nods Aug 29 19:32:23 Easily. Graben is rich from the iron mining. Aug 29 19:33:06 * Morgan nods Aug 29 19:33:07 Good Aug 29 19:34:17 * Edward nods Aug 29 19:35:12 The coming months will be a challenge, leading the town, leading Mina. I am capable, but unprepared Aug 29 19:36:36 I have faith in you... and you will be able to speak to mother for advice... no doubt she will have a way to ask father for the information without him realising about the mirror and flipping his lid Aug 29 19:36:55 * Edward nods Aug 29 19:37:30 It is time I proved myself to you all. Aug 29 19:38:10 You've no idea that you've already done that, do you? Aug 29 19:40:45 This is different. You have seen my bravery, now you should see that I was always able to rule. Aug 29 19:41:19 I'm not talking about your bravery Aug 29 19:43:08 Then what? Aug 29 19:45:18 You've proven that you will do what you think is best, right and proper, even if it is unpleasant. You've proven that you will take advice and change your mind when it is appropriate. You've proven that you will face into your mistakes and wrongdoings, no matter the punishment that might befall you. All ruling here can do is prove those qualities some more and show you're a bit savvy. Aug 29 19:47:23 Father will not see it that way Aug 29 19:48:13 Want to know a secret? Aug 29 19:50:07 * Edward nods Aug 29 19:50:09 I do Aug 29 19:52:18 Our father thinks you have a strength and calmness he did not know you possess. Aug 29 19:52:50 * Edward nods slowly Aug 29 19:53:03 He thinks you are a good man Aug 29 19:53:07 That is not the same as competence Aug 29 19:53:53 He knows you can rule. Not just believes it, but knows it, in his bones Aug 29 19:54:40 Perhaps Aug 29 19:55:06 * Morgan sighs Aug 29 19:55:48 How much advice has he been giving you this last few days on how to run Graben? Aug 29 19:56:48 Anything I ask for Aug 29 19:57:11 He has not given you any unprompted? Aug 29 19:58:57 Not that I recall Aug 29 19:59:02 * Morgan nods Aug 29 19:59:26 He does to me... he knows he doesn't _need_ to with you... because he knows you know what you're doing Aug 29 20:00:47 You have much more to deal with Aug 29 20:00:55 * Morgan shrugs Aug 29 20:01:37 Thats beside the point. The advice he gives me is about running my land. Not trade, not sailing... just ruling my land. Aug 29 20:03:34 And you are going to be a Graf, not a Freiarr Aug 29 20:03:58 Thats just a difference in volume of paperwork. Aug 29 20:05:22 It is important to me that you all see me succeed Aug 29 20:05:42 * Morgan nods Aug 29 20:05:52 Do you want us out of your hair so you can get to work? Aug 29 20:06:30 No, of course not Aug 29 20:07:50 Perhaps then... put us to work? Aug 29 20:09:19 No, you are about to be travelling for weeks, enjoy your rest here Aug 29 20:10:32 Please... once I'm afloat, I'll be doing three duties a week, the rest of the time I'll be doing very little... Aug 29 20:11:39 * Edward nods Aug 29 20:11:58 I will find you work here if you prefer that to idleness Aug 29 20:20:49 Its more that I have a desire to help you... as will father Aug 29 20:21:43 * Edward nods Aug 29 20:21:51 Thank you Aug 29 20:22:01 * Morgan inclines his head Aug 29 20:22:16 Don't... be too alarmed if you hear I'm on the roof later Aug 29 20:22:28 Why? Aug 29 20:23:25 I enjoy climbing... I've been off a ship for longer than I'd like... Aug 29 20:23:28 * Morgan smiles Aug 29 20:23:47 When I'm on a ship, I don't so much climb the rigging as just... throw myself up it Aug 29 20:24:53 We have trees. Aug 29 20:25:05 I'm not keen on trees Aug 29 20:27:10 Be careful, the roofs here are high, and I would hate to have to tell Molly you got hurt Aug 29 20:27:56 * Morgan nods Aug 29 20:28:33 I'll be careful Aug 29 20:29:18 *the sky is lightening now* how are you and Molly? Aug 29 20:29:34 We're alright I think Aug 29 20:30:37 * Edward nods Aug 29 20:30:57 You both seemed stunned by each other's gifts last night Aug 29 20:31:21 I was rather worried I'd upset her Aug 29 20:32:27 Why? Aug 29 20:33:52 Its a bit close to what I gave Dietlinde... I've long avoided anything that could be seen as any sort of comparison or intrusion on each others personalities... its why I didn't get a handkerchief... I have one from Dietlinde already. Aug 29 20:38:05 * Edward has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Aug 29 20:54:24 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Aug 29 20:54:30 * MollyK is now known as Edward Aug 29 20:54:57 Do you think the two of you might be taking that too far? Aug 29 20:56:30 I think the steps we took last night have gone a ways to getting past that... and the pendant, it is *he smiles* I love it Aug 29 20:57:40 What steps did you take? Aug 29 20:59:08 Giving her the sewing box. It means I'm not holding that part of myself away from her anymore Aug 29 21:00:00 * Edward nods Aug 29 21:00:33 You can go too far to avoid comparisons that it becomes a glaring reminder Aug 29 21:00:44 * Morgan nods Aug 29 21:00:47 I think thats where I was Aug 29 21:00:55 * Edward nods Aug 29 21:01:54 What do you love about the pendant? Aug 29 21:02:18 Primarily... what it means... you heard what she says I am? Aug 29 21:07:23 I was distracted Aug 29 21:08:02 * Morgan nods, taking off the pendant and handing it to him Aug 29 21:08:12 She says I am the north to her compass Aug 29 21:08:42 * Edward looks at it Aug 29 21:08:55 Romantic. Aug 29 21:09:26 * Morgan nods Aug 29 21:11:06 * Edward feels the weight of it Aug 29 21:11:15 So it means something to you both Aug 29 21:11:21 * Morgan nods Aug 29 21:11:24 Yes it does Aug 29 21:15:01 * Edward smiles Aug 29 21:15:48 I think things are getting to where they should be for the two of you. I admit, I was concerned Aug 29 21:17:29 When? Aug 29 21:17:37 Or should I ask how often... Aug 29 21:19:14 Particularly when we were in Atemlos. But I have worried that Molly is too deeply feeling for you Aug 29 21:19:41 * Morgan frowns Aug 29 21:19:52 You feel that I cannot feel so deeply anymore... Aug 29 21:24:43 No, I thought that maybe Molly would feel too deeply, read too much into things Aug 29 21:25:34 Like what? Aug 29 21:28:08 You leaving her in Atemlos, as an example Aug 29 21:28:27 * Morgan nods Aug 29 21:28:46 She did... she understands now... and I am not leaving her like that again Aug 29 21:29:36 I am not making an accusation, brother. Aug 29 21:30:09 And I am not making a defence. We have moved on since then Aug 29 21:30:59 I can see that. That is why I worried, and am not worrying now. Aug 29 21:31:12 * Morgan nods Aug 29 21:33:56 * Edward hands the necklace back Aug 29 21:34:20 * Morgan takes it, fastening it back in place Aug 29 21:34:48 Have you considered asking her to make you a handkerchief like the rest of us have? Aug 29 21:35:22 I don't need one... I'll think about it Aug 29 21:37:05 It isn't about needing one, brother, it is about extending a hand across that gap. Aug 29 21:38:18 I'm not sure its needed, with the sewing box... Aug 29 21:39:25 * Edward shrugs Aug 29 21:39:30 Sail it as you will Aug 29 21:40:17 * Morgan nods Aug 29 21:40:23 I will think about it, I promise Aug 29 21:41:38 * Edward nods Aug 29 21:41:56 What's going on with DeeDee and Claudia? Aug 29 21:43:30 * Morgan glances at his cup, making it steam Aug 29 21:43:35 Its... complicated Aug 29 21:45:05 Has to be for him to recoil like that from a simple kiss. Aug 29 21:46:43 She doesn't know how to handle someone being interested in her but not trying to push his luck... Aug 29 21:47:26 * Edward nods Aug 29 21:47:50 Do you want me to speak to him? Aug 29 21:48:27 No. He's been quite the gentleman, he's even staying away from her... it was just unfortunate Aug 29 21:48:34 * Morgan looks at Edward Aug 29 21:48:43 I understand his behaviour in that regard is down to you Aug 29 21:51:18 I told him there was already someone in the picture, yes Aug 29 21:55:06 I meant his behaviour towards women in general Aug 29 21:55:54 Did I? Aug 29 21:57:23 Something about your correcting him when he laid hands on a woman before their arrangement was made Aug 29 22:00:48 Oh yes, years ago. He groped a working girl before she had approached him. It was the first time he had been in a brothel. He was sixteen, so was I, but I wasn't a virgin like he was Aug 29 22:02:04 * Morgan nods Aug 29 22:02:10 He has taken your correction to heart Aug 29 22:03:15 * Edward nods Aug 29 22:03:25 I told him about Petra Aug 29 22:03:48 * Morgan nods Aug 29 22:05:56 It helped him understand that they are women, with feelings, not just... well, you know. Aug 29 22:06:26 * Morgan nods Aug 29 22:07:30 He is a good man. He would treat her well, if she was not involved elsewhere Aug 29 22:08:47 I think her own issues are more of an obstacle anyway Aug 29 22:10:35 * Edward nods Aug 29 22:11:00 You would think he would be scared of her, but apparently not Aug 29 22:11:34 * Morgan shrugs Aug 29 22:11:47 I understand many are but... thats not something I've ever felt Aug 29 22:14:10 Are you mad? Aug 29 22:14:44 That has been said in the past... but no, she doesn't scare me Aug 29 22:15:37 Have you not angered her then? Aug 29 22:15:59 Several times. Aug 29 22:18:55 Are you scared of anyone? Aug 29 22:19:02 * Morgan smiles slightly Aug 29 22:19:04 yes Aug 29 22:20:08 Father? Aug 29 22:20:43 God no... Grunhelm... I know its a silly hangover from childhood but that small abiding fear remains Aug 29 22:23:20 * Edward laughs Aug 29 22:23:40 Sorry, but that is ridiculous! Aug 29 22:24:17 You''d feel differently if it'd been you he'd picked up and carried home Aug 29 22:25:18 * Edward nods Aug 29 22:25:22 Perhaps Aug 29 22:26:10 He leaves a lingering impact... for example, mutter the words 'not today little rabbit' to HeinzHarold... Aug 29 22:26:24 * Morgan shudders slightly Aug 29 22:28:36 I will try that. What is significant about it? Aug 29 22:29:47 HeinzHarold and I were in the tavern... I'd told the innkeeper that, since I am the Grafs son, he was obliged to serve me and my friend some ale... Grunhelm appears behind us, says in that voice thats like a mountain moving 'not today little rabbits', picks us both up and carries us back to father Aug 29 22:29:52 Who was in his study. Aug 29 22:30:15 * Edward laughs Aug 29 22:30:36 You were ten then? Aug 29 22:31:20 About that Aug 29 22:33:23 * Edward nods Aug 29 22:33:34 I suppose I can see why that would linger Aug 29 22:33:41 * Morgan nods Aug 29 22:34:24 Being carried home by the scruff of your neck has that effect... thats how I remember his voice, not so much spoken, but like that rumble when you get a landslide... Aug 29 22:34:56 *the sun has risen now, as much as Morgan can be sure given that the drachenburg mountains block the eastern horizon* Aug 29 22:35:08 He is an excellent sheriff Aug 29 22:35:19 * Morgan nods, looking at the mountains Aug 29 22:35:21 Yes he is Aug 29 22:37:27 I am thinking of keeping DeeDee and Wonks here. Aug 29 22:37:42 For... Aug 29 22:40:46 Training them to replace the sheriff and overseer. Both men are in their fifties Aug 29 22:41:13 I see. Aug 29 22:44:01 I want men I trust. And both of them have been at my side through some of my darkest days. The privilege of my life is that I can see them both in good positions. Aug 29 22:44:24 If that is what you wish to do Aug 29 22:47:54 You do not agree that is a good choice? Aug 29 22:48:31 Would it matter if I didn't? Aug 29 22:50:29 * Edward thinks Aug 29 22:50:58 It would certainly make me reassess the situation in light of your opinion, but would not guarantee a change in my decision Aug 29 22:51:09 * Morgan smiles slightly Aug 29 22:51:53 That means much to me... I think DeeDee is a good choice... I don't know Wonks well enough give an informed opinion Aug 29 22:53:07 * Edward inclines his head Aug 29 22:53:50 Wonks is a savvy tactician. Not enough to not misplace a leg, but he's good. Aug 29 22:54:22 * Morgan nods Aug 29 22:55:52 I would like having some friends here Aug 29 22:56:09 * Morgan nods Aug 29 22:56:32 I was concerned that you would be lonely. Obviously you'll be able to speak to mother and to me but its not the same Aug 29 22:59:10 No. I see now why Father set up Uncle Hans in Innesbruck despite having no need to have it as a Freiarrdom Aug 29 22:59:46 * Morgan nods Aug 29 23:00:02 I would stay closer by but I have so much to do Aug 29 23:01:17 It is not an option for us, which saddens me. Aug 29 23:01:42 * Morgan nods Aug 29 23:01:46 And me Aug 29 23:03:35 It would have been nice for our wives to have had that Aug 29 23:03:52 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Aug 29 23:03:55 Yes, it would Aug 29 23:04:29 Do you think Mina would ever be comfortable with the mirrors? Aug 29 23:05:22 Possibly, in time. The supernatural has been part of her life for far longer than I knew. Aug 29 23:06:10 * Morgan nods Aug 29 23:06:34 Then she and Molly can talk... it won't be the same, but its better than nothing Aug 29 23:07:14 * Edward nods Aug 29 23:07:26 * Edward looks at the sky Aug 29 23:08:23 A year ago, I was in Vesten. I wouldn't have believed I would be here in Graben married to Mina and feeling heartache at the thought of not having _you_ living nearby. Aug 29 23:09:06 * Morgan bows his head Aug 29 23:09:44 Is that stranger than the knowledge that Alarice played a large part in bringing us closer? Aug 29 23:10:35 * Edward nods Aug 29 23:10:53 Strange how far we have come Aug 29 23:10:59 * Morgan nods Aug 29 23:11:19 Indeed it is Aug 29 23:11:52 Hard to fathom when you take a step back. Almost miraculous. Aug 29 23:12:19 * Morgan nods Aug 29 23:12:25 Its not something I could even conceive of Aug 29 23:14:42 Until Molly? Aug 29 23:16:03 I was referring to you and I... but yes... though until relatively recently I was still,I don't know, reluctant with a lot of things Aug 29 23:22:28 * Edward has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Aug 29 23:24:56 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Aug 29 23:25:44 I meant that the catalyst for us reaching this point was your relationship with Molly Aug 29 23:25:48 * MollyK is now known as Edward Aug 29 23:26:45 I think that was the start of it.... We had to at least come to a truce Aug 29 23:32:14 * Edward nods Aug 29 23:32:49 I do not think either of us was ready much in advance of our meeting again in August Aug 29 23:33:35 No... Aug 29 23:37:07 It has to end, as you have said. Not just the way I resented you, but the way I resent myself for what I did Aug 29 23:38:18 * Morgan nods Aug 29 23:38:24 Yes, it must Aug 29 23:39:17 I made an awful choice, but I was Young, and stupid. I have grown greatly since. Aug 29 23:39:44 * Morgan nods Aug 29 23:39:47 Yes, you have Aug 29 23:42:44 I see now what could have been done differently, and though I regret their deaths deeply, I do not regret having Molly as my sister nor Varick as my nephew. Aug 29 23:43:41 Its a difficult thing to feel, isn't it Aug 29 23:44:42 * Edward nods Aug 29 23:45:18 Horrendously so for you, I imagine Aug 29 23:45:24 * Morgan nods Aug 29 23:45:43 How can I miss them so badly but be happy at the same time... Aug 29 23:46:27 * Edward exhales the smoke slowly Aug 29 23:46:49 How can you love Molly and Varick so much and stay so sad? Aug 29 23:47:25 I've clung to that for so long I don't really know how to be me without it... though it is changing. Aug 29 23:47:59 * Edward nods Aug 29 23:48:29 She deserves a man who won't hold back Aug 29 23:48:38 * Morgan nods Aug 29 23:48:45 She does Aug 29 23:49:27 Your choice is to be that man, or wait around until she finds one who will Aug 29 23:49:53 * Morgan flinches Aug 29 23:52:52 I am sorry to be brutal, but we have discussed this before, when we rode down from Fischler. Noble wives are always under the watchful eyes of young nobleman looking for sport or social connections. A wife who is in anyway left wanting can fall foul of their clever manipulations. Not to mention the Eisenfursts fishing for mistresses Aug 29 23:53:19 * Morgan nods Aug 29 23:53:20 I know Aug 29 23:54:48 I would hate to see Molly put in that position Aug 29 23:54:57 * Morgan nods Aug 29 23:55:00 As would I Aug 29 23:56:14 She has suggested I go to chapel to speak to Dietlinde Aug 29 23:56:55 * Edward nods Aug 29 23:57:02 That doesn't surprise me Aug 29 23:57:07 No? Aug 29 23:57:52 She has told me before that she has done so herself on several occassions Aug 29 23:57:57 * Morgan nods Aug 29 23:58:00 I didn't know Aug 29 23:58:18 * Edward watches him Aug 29 23:58:32 I see. That troubles you? Aug 29 23:59:47 In so much as it is another example of my clinging to the pain... when I left, I was determined to live in a manner Dietlinde would approve of. I am ashamed at how far from that ideal I fell
