**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Aug 31 00:00:03 2022 Aug 31 00:00:03 J: *he nods* Alright. Have Baelor see to the paperwork. Aug 31 00:00:21 * Edward inclines his head "Thank you, my Lord" Aug 31 00:02:41 *Joseff nods, walking a little further along the shore. Edward watches in his wake, waiting til he is enough out of earshot before saying "I should be relieved, but it feels like putting down an injured stallion" Aug 31 00:03:52 You're letting a workhorse endure less... Aug 31 00:04:57 * Edward looks at him Aug 31 00:05:16 I get it, I do. It is the right thing to do... Aug 31 00:06:02 I know... it feels like you're telling him he's too senile to do what he's always done. Aug 31 00:09:18 What he has done well, too. Graben's iron mines made it a target, and as a Objectionist Freiarrdom in a Vaticine konigsreich, it took a great leader to defend it. At his zenith, Hapsburg was an absolute colossus. And then Maria died. Aug 31 00:09:37 * Morgan nods Aug 31 00:10:16 It changes you. But you have not taken anything from him. You gave him your concerns, your honesty, and he made the decision, as a leader does. Aug 31 00:10:58 I know. The ship must sail on, with new hands at the helm. Aug 31 00:11:21 Why do you use naval metaphors? Aug 31 00:11:31 I have no idea Aug 31 00:12:23 Realistically, the army ones are less useful. A ship is its own little world, much like a Freiarrdom, or a marriage. Aug 31 00:12:46 * Morgan nods, moving slowly after Joseff Aug 31 00:12:55 You're going to need to learn to swim better Aug 31 00:13:00 * Edward follows on Aug 31 00:13:34 Yes, I have been informed that it is a dear wish that would make my wife very happy *he sighs* Aug 31 00:14:06 It is right that his grandchildren are taught to swim by their father in the same lake that he taught his daughter Aug 31 00:14:21 You sound like our father. Aug 31 00:14:36 * Morgan shrugs Aug 31 00:14:50 Some things are important... I feel that is one of them Aug 31 00:15:08 You would, because you don't despise the water Aug 31 00:16:08 No, its not that... the memory of his teaching Mina here is one he cherishes and, I suspect, so does she. It would be a way to honour him Aug 31 00:16:46 * Edward looks at the lake, still staying further from the edge than Morgan. Aug 31 00:17:28 In the spring, when it is warmer. The hot springs further into the woods are not deep enough. You might like them though Aug 31 00:17:40 * Morgan frowns Aug 31 00:17:54 Cold water is no longer an issue for me... not that I minded it before... Aug 31 00:18:29 Even I admit that it is pleasant there. It's hot, like a bath, Aug 31 00:18:40 * Morgan nods Aug 31 00:18:47 How bad is your swimming? Aug 31 00:18:57 Are we talking doggy paddle? Aug 31 00:18:58 * Edward laughs Aug 31 00:19:17 No. We are talking like a stone. Aug 31 00:20:37 Fathers method of teaching you did you no favours... would... no, never mind Aug 31 00:21:21 Maybe. But it looks like I will be busy. Aug 31 00:21:52 Things are running smoothly... take the opportunity before it slips away Aug 31 00:22:51 I will consider it, but Father is not to get wind of it or he will want to be involved Aug 31 00:23:26 * Morgan nods Aug 31 00:23:37 You ever been in the water when its this cold? Aug 31 00:24:07 No Aug 31 00:24:44 Its an experience Aug 31 00:25:37 * Edward nods Aug 31 00:25:44 It sounds awful. Aug 31 00:26:23 Not as you'd expect... and the focus you achieve when you get out it quite something Aug 31 00:26:46 * Edward nods Aug 31 00:27:07 I am chilled just thinking about it. Aug 31 00:27:17 *they get to Joseff* Aug 31 00:27:41 My Lord, you must have swum when it is this cold... Aug 31 00:27:58 J: *he nods* many times Aug 31 00:28:19 The rush of energy and focus is quite something, isn't it Aug 31 00:29:43 J: *he smiles* indeed it is Aug 31 00:30:18 * Morgan looks at Edward Aug 31 00:30:20 See... Aug 31 00:31:14 J: it was a tradition we had, on New Years Eve. Aug 31 00:31:29 * Edward looks confused Aug 31 00:31:41 Mina has not mentioned it Aug 31 00:32:00 Does it still happen, or has it been replaced with the snowball fight? Aug 31 00:32:22 J: *he looks to Morgan with a smile* it was a private tradition, if you understand my meaning. Aug 31 00:32:29 * Morgan laughs Aug 31 00:32:30 I see Aug 31 00:33:18 J: Mina has not told you because she does not know Aug 31 00:35:36 * Edward nods, smiling faintly Aug 31 00:36:49 J: *he watches the water* one minute she is there, and the next she is gone, like a fish slipping your grasp... Aug 31 00:38:03 * Morgan nods Aug 31 00:38:10 She was a strong swimmer then Aug 31 00:39:25 J: Yes she was. She was very strong generally, but with childbirth that makes little difference. Aug 31 00:39:44 * Morgan nods, looking out over the water Aug 31 00:41:33 J: She wouldn't have been dissuaded, she felt she served Our Lord most when he used her as a vessel to bring life into being. Aug 31 00:42:39 Mina is the same Aug 31 00:43:25 J: *he nods* I hope you make a Mother of her very soon. I had no intention of her not marrying until her middle twenties. Aug 31 00:44:38 Nor I. I anticipated having several children with her by now Aug 31 00:45:17 * Morgan stays quiet, looking towards the treelike Aug 31 00:45:40 *The Valet says "My Lords, rain is coming in" Aug 31 00:46:39 J: Go and mount up, I will join you in a moment Aug 31 00:47:07 * Edward does so Aug 31 00:47:10 * Morgan nods, moving away but slowly Aug 31 00:48:29 *he can hear Joseff quietly talking* you always made the last moments of the year and the first of the new year something special. What would you make of all this, hmm? Aug 31 00:48:55 * Morgan heads to his horse Aug 31 00:49:09 * Edward swings up Aug 31 00:49:15 What's he doing? Aug 31 00:49:20 Talking to Maria Aug 31 00:51:06 * Edward nods, sticking a hat on his head Aug 31 00:51:15 How did that go for you? Aug 31 00:51:58 * Morgan frowns briefly Aug 31 00:52:07 It was strange... I felt stupid to start with Aug 31 00:53:13 Why? *he looks at Morgan* You've never talked to someone who died before? Aug 31 00:53:49 * Morgan shakes his head Aug 31 00:53:58 No... it was a first for me Aug 31 00:54:22 * Edward nods Aug 31 00:54:37 I have always found it helpful, like prayer. Aug 31 00:55:17 I've had difficulties with that until recently Aug 31 00:56:19 * Edward nods Aug 31 00:56:57 Was that why you and Molly were in discussion? Aug 31 00:57:37 We were talking about the things you and I spoke about Aug 31 00:58:21 * Edward nods, watching Joseff return and mount with the Valet's help. It isn't until they are riding behind that Edward answers Aug 31 00:58:45 I hope you were not offended about my comments regarding you and my daughter Aug 31 00:59:00 Very. But it was necessary. Aug 31 00:59:50 * Edward looks serious Aug 31 01:00:09 I was not intending to offend you Aug 31 01:00:17 I know. Aug 31 01:00:55 You could have come to me. Aug 31 01:02:07 You needed to prepare for this... and you were right. Aug 31 01:04:19 I did, but I would have made time for you. Aug 31 01:04:35 * Morgan looks at him earnestly Aug 31 01:04:39 We're alright Edward Aug 31 01:05:46 * Edward nods Aug 31 01:05:51 That is a relief. Aug 31 01:07:00 You've rather thrown a cat amongst the pigeons, mind Aug 31 01:07:19 Why? Aug 31 01:08:15 Because I want children Aug 31 01:08:39 I knew that, hence why we all spoke to His Grace Aug 31 01:10:37 Yes, but I'd settled on two years... rather than three... and you made me realise I would be miserable with that Aug 31 01:11:12 Plans are to change then? Aug 31 01:12:16 * Morgan nods Aug 31 01:12:18 yes Aug 31 01:13:48 * Edward smiles Aug 31 01:14:06 You will be staying in Eisen then? Aug 31 01:15:23 We've still got to go to Capperlucia... chances are at least twice, but, given the herbs Molly has been taking, it could take longer than that for them to wear off anyway Aug 31 01:16:05 What are you hoping for? I will pray for you Aug 31 01:17:02 Next winter is about the earliest we would expect and... it would be the most convenient in terms of our commitments and our wishes Aug 31 01:17:23 * Edward nods Aug 31 01:18:17 I would not want Mina travelling whilst increasing, but I think you are more liberal in that. Aug 31 01:18:26 * Morgan nods Aug 31 01:18:39 That is a fair statement Aug 31 01:19:31 I will pray for next winter then, with enough time for you to have arrived safely in Die Dauerhaftigkeit. Father would not be impressed with a birth at sea. Aug 31 01:20:13 I have no intention of that... *he looks at Edward seriously* we talked about Dietlinde and Jana, and my life before... Aug 31 01:20:34 * Edward looks intrigued Aug 31 01:20:40 A bold move. Aug 31 01:21:26 Your statement about not holding parts of ourselves back was well made Aug 31 01:22:43 * Edward nods Aug 31 01:24:55 You and Molly will, God willing, have decades ahead of you. In time, you will face the points where you have been together longer, been married for longer, and have children older than Jana was. I want to see you and Molly together and strong in the years to come, not have this gaping precipice between you. Aug 31 01:25:56 You realise neither she nor I see that? Aug 31 01:26:12 See that there is a gap? Aug 31 01:27:11 * Morgan nods Aug 31 01:27:16 We don't feel there is Aug 31 01:28:41 * Edward nods Aug 31 01:29:03 If you are both being truthful with yourselves and each other, good Aug 31 01:29:40 We are Aug 31 01:29:58 * Edward smiles Aug 31 01:30:23 I am glad that you have talked, it sounds significant Aug 31 01:30:46 * Morgan nods Aug 31 01:30:48 It was Aug 31 01:31:48 Was it a conversation you have not had before? Aug 31 01:32:15 * Morgan nods Aug 31 01:33:40 aye... I didn't talk very much about them, except when it was painful not to... and always about their loss... but I want to be able to talk about them at other times... holding tight to their loss does me no good, and does them no honour... they wouldn't want me doing that Aug 31 01:34:06 * Edward nods solemnly Aug 31 01:34:58 I am pleased you and Molly are opening that up. Would you like me to check she is alright, or will you have Inga do so? Aug 31 01:35:41 Thats a difficult question Aug 31 01:36:34 Why? Aug 31 01:37:25 Because Inga doesn't realise quite how deep and strong my feelings run.... But you may hear things that would be painful for you Aug 31 01:37:54 * Edward nods Aug 31 01:38:05 I will leave it to you then Aug 31 01:38:29 She would appreciate your checking on her, don't get me wrong... Aug 31 01:38:59 * Edward nods "but may be guarded, I understand " Aug 31 01:39:16 Or worse... unguarded... Aug 31 01:41:26 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Aug 31 01:43:18 * Edward has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Aug 31 09:08:45 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Aug 31 09:18:40 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Aug 31 09:19:18 * MollyK is now known as Edward Aug 31 09:19:22 Unguarded Aug 31 09:19:26 ? Aug 31 09:20:08 * Morgan nods Aug 31 09:20:18 Total honesty can be rather... brutal Aug 31 09:21:02 What do you mean? Aug 31 09:23:31 As you said, she feels very deeply... it can be hard to bear when those feelings are anger or disappointment or sorrow Aug 31 09:24:19 * Edward nods Aug 31 09:24:37 Do you suspect she will be feeling those things? Aug 31 09:26:14 No... but I told her what you said about leaving her wanting and the risk it puts her at at court... she was, lets say, not terribly pleased about it Aug 31 09:26:52 And about my choice of feeling deeply or waiting to lose her to someone who does... thats the thing I suspect she'd bend your ear about Aug 31 09:27:08 * Edward smiles Aug 31 09:27:19 I can handle Molly, don't worry Aug 31 09:29:03 * Morgan snorts Aug 31 09:29:12 Remember you said that when she thumps you Aug 31 09:30:50 She would not Aug 31 09:31:20 How much are you willing to bet on that, Edward? Aug 31 09:32:48 I will bet you ten guilders I can not only not get thumped, but get hugged. Aug 31 09:33:24 * Morgan nods Aug 31 09:33:25 You're on Aug 31 09:33:43 * Morgan looks round Aug 31 09:33:56 right... father when we get back, then Witts... Aug 31 09:34:23 * Edward nods Aug 31 09:35:15 I need to have Baelor draw up the paperwork, but I will not disturb him today. Prophets Mass is for prayer and spending time with our loved ones. Aug 31 09:35:43 * Morgan nods Aug 31 09:35:56 Lets hope he remembers that he gave that command when it comes time to sign it Aug 31 09:37:03 You are witness to that Aug 31 09:38:26 Yes... but I was more thinking for his sake... Aug 31 09:38:38 * Edward nods Aug 31 09:39:28 I want to get it resolved, but I will continue to make Mina's first Prophets mass as a wife wonderful Aug 31 09:39:50 * Morgan nods Aug 31 09:40:23 You don't mind my stealing her away for a while later? Aug 31 09:41:01 No, we can swap wives a while Aug 31 09:41:32 * Morgan nods Aug 31 09:42:55 I wonder if she'll still hold herself at a distance Aug 31 09:43:58 Most likely. It is part of who she is. She cares greatly about you all Aug 31 09:45:14 I had wondered if prior events had done enough for her to let her guard drop... while we were all talking about it, there was no veil... she was just her. Aug 31 09:50:10 It is where she is comfortable Aug 31 09:51:09 * Morgan nods, looking toward the trees Aug 31 10:02:09 *Everything is peaceful, and stays so until they are back, but the rain has started then. The others are all ensconced in the drawing room, the women playing cards. Even Claudia has been roped in to form four pairs, Molly/Diana, Inga/Heidi, Verity/Claudia, and Jarvie/Mina. Meanwhile about six sets of soldiers seem to have been found, and the big Aug 31 10:02:10 table has been marked out with chalk. The men are playing with them, strategising. Varick and HH appear to be their own army of supernatural monsters, causing chaos alongside a more conventional battle Aug 31 10:02:15 * Edward looks at Morgan Aug 31 10:02:29 We have not even been missed, it seems Aug 31 10:03:22 * Morgan nods Aug 31 10:03:41 They are so secure in our love for them they do not need constant reassurance... Aug 31 10:04:35 * Edward nods Aug 31 10:05:03 Mina will be keeping an eye to the time, knowing her hour is coming after lunch. It is very practical Aug 31 10:05:48 * Morgan nods Aug 31 10:05:54 I'd best find father Aug 31 10:08:31 * Edward looks over. Adalbrecht seems to be the general of one army, Dekker that of the other. The competition seems high, whilst Varick suddenly unleashes a legion of valkyries on Dekker's Calvary. It is decided that Dekker loses more troops than if it was infantry because their wings would scare the horses Aug 31 10:10:46 Reckon I can call him away from such an engrossing battle? Aug 31 10:11:53 * Edward goes on over "Father, I will take over so you can speak to Morgan" Aug 31 10:12:13 Ad: *he nods* Try not to destroy my army, Edward. Aug 31 10:12:58 * Edward inclines his head. Varick says "watch out, Uncle Edward, the Schattenmann is coming for you" Aug 31 10:13:32 * Morgan shudders, watching him Aug 31 10:14:45 * Edward nods "My infantry are given orders to fire firey arrows at it" Aug 31 10:14:54 * Edward is now known as Adalbrecht Aug 31 10:15:17 * Adalbrecht sighs "he is going to get those men killed" Aug 31 10:15:33 * Morgan nods, heading for the library Aug 31 10:18:39 * Adalbrecht takes a seat at the desk Morgan had only a few hours ago taken Molly on. She hasn't done a very good job of getting rid of the handprints Aug 31 10:20:23 I wanted to talk to you about Edward, primarily Aug 31 10:22:06 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 31 10:22:10 Yes? Aug 31 10:22:44 * Morgan sits down Aug 31 10:23:53 He was telling me this morning that he feels he needs to prove himself to us... Since you do not give him advice on his ruling here unbidden, like you do with me, can I assume you feel he is more than ready to take over here? Aug 31 10:26:45 I have been giving him advice for months. Being a Freiarr is not that difficult, but Edward has always been a natural leader Aug 31 10:27:49 He told me you have given advice when he asked for it... I don't know if you've noticed but you give me advice without my asking... I assume its because you feel I need more assistance Aug 31 10:29:16 * Adalbrecht looks at him "Twenty three years you have had this brother of yours, do you need to keep comparing yourself to him?" Aug 31 10:33:29 Oh father, you misunderstand... I know I need more guidance in this than he does, and I'm happy to admit that to you, to him... *he scratches his chin* I told him earlier that, as far as I'm concerned, he has already proven himself to me... He has faced into some very hard truths and made tough decisions... he has worked through painful things to be closer to me, despite the distance we had. You understand? Aug 31 10:35:22 I understand Aug 31 10:36:29 Do you agree? Aug 31 10:36:54 You and he have different strengths and responsibilities, that is all Aug 31 10:37:29 Thats not what I'm asking father... I'm not insecure about my shortcomings in ruling... I am asking if you agree that he has already proven himself to us Aug 31 10:37:57 As a man... we know he will be a great leader, its a natural aptitude for him Aug 31 10:40:06 I suppose he has. He certainly treated Mina with decency, and she seems happy. He has kept his friends mostly in line, though it seems that young woman is a bigger handful than the others. Aug 31 10:41:37 Would you consider finding a way to reassure him of that? His taking over would be easier if he wasn't trying to prove to us that he is capable, good at it. He can just concentrate on _being_ a good leader, rather than proving to us he is Aug 31 10:42:38 I will speak with him. *he takes out a handkerchief, rubbing at the marks on the desk* Aug 31 10:43:53 Perhaps don't let on that I told you? Aug 31 10:44:51 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 31 10:45:21 Was that all you needed? Aug 31 10:45:48 You are keen to rush to rescue your troops? Aug 31 10:48:00 No, I noticed Molly seemed very distracted from her game and wondered if you had fallen out Aug 31 10:50:09 No... after the difficult conversation with Edward, there were things that we needed to talk about... He asked me something that I didn't like the answer to Aug 31 10:52:41 * Adalbrecht looks satisfied with the desk Aug 31 10:52:47 What was it? Aug 31 10:53:30 If I can imagine two more Prophets Mass' without a baby in my arms Aug 31 10:55:03 And your answer was no? Aug 31 10:55:16 I can... and the thought of it hurts Aug 31 10:55:40 It is a tough situation for you Aug 31 10:57:10 The situation with Florrie has made it more complicated... Edward thinks I have love just waiting for a child and Florrie has filled that gap for now but... now she is moving away from me, and its leaving me heartsore. Aug 31 10:57:54 Is he right? Aug 31 11:00:02 I think so... loving Varick is easier because he's older I think... but even until I met Florrie I would actively avoid children that young, it was too difficult... but with Florrie looking as she does, I had to know who she was. Claudia wondered if I had been, lets say, indiscreet when I left Eisen, but obviously that was not the case. Aug 31 11:00:55 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 31 11:01:14 What will you do to resolve these challenges? Aug 31 11:02:56 We are still going to Capperlucia... a man who stood by me in the face of danger more times than I can count, he is the crown prince... his wife disappeared, but we know where she is now. He has been searching for her and, given the times he has saved my life, reuniting them is the least I can do. Aug 31 11:04:28 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 31 11:04:42 That is the honourable thing to do Aug 31 11:04:47 * Morgan nods Aug 31 11:05:12 That being said, we have decided to stop the interventions... our hope is for next winter... Aug 31 11:06:59 * Adalbrecht smiles Aug 31 11:07:13 And you are both happy with that? Aug 31 11:07:17 * Morgan nods Aug 31 11:07:30 Apprehensive, certainly... but happy Aug 31 11:07:50 Well then, my congratulations, Morgan Aug 31 11:08:08 * Morgan inclines his head Aug 31 11:08:32 So you understand her distraction... we talked about other things, but I sus[ect that is what distracts her Aug 31 11:08:45 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 31 11:09:08 It is a big step for you, one I had not anticipated Aug 31 11:09:21 * Morgan nods Aug 31 11:09:28 Nor had I Aug 31 11:11:57 You have been married almost six months, many couples do set their eyes at this at this time Aug 31 11:15:42 I knew when we married that children would be required but... I didn't think I would be actively wanting them, certainly not yet Aug 31 11:17:20 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 31 11:17:32 It would have been unfair to deny her that Aug 31 11:18:03 * Morgan frowns Aug 31 11:18:13 I know... she had accepted it... but you are right Aug 31 11:20:32 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 31 11:20:45 But you are apprehensive about it? Aug 31 11:21:04 * Morgan nods Aug 31 11:21:20 About the sort of father I will be... about the dangers of this world... Aug 31 11:24:08 You are already a very good Father to Varick, the boy adores you Aug 31 11:24:45 Thank you... you did not feel the same when Edward was born? Aug 31 11:25:52 No. I worried about your Mother being left to raise two of you if I died on the battlefield. Aug 31 11:26:41 * Morgan nods Aug 31 11:26:49 I worry about that Aug 31 11:28:35 We are no longer at War Aug 31 11:29:20 No but... I couldn't even get to Graben without nearly being killed, and thats the second time I'd seen those things in a short time Aug 31 11:31:16 Molly would have the support of the family Aug 31 11:33:11 I know, of course I know that... but still... Aug 31 11:33:51 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 31 11:34:16 Life is full of risks Aug 31 11:40:21 * Morgan nods Aug 31 11:40:22 Oh yes Aug 31 11:41:25 This is all to be kept from your Mother, and especially hers? Aug 31 11:42:43 I think it best for now Aug 31 11:43:10 Much as I know how happy it would make mother... though, perhaps if you impressed upon her that it must remain between us... Aug 31 11:43:57 No, I would not have her hanging on every letter in the hopes of it. It will happen when it is supposed to Aug 31 11:44:10 * Morgan nods Aug 31 11:44:47 I bow to your judgement... as for comparing myself to Edward... I think I always will because the only other man I compare myself to... that is an unattainable goal Aug 31 11:45:52 Heinzharold? Aug 31 11:46:05 * Morgan rolls his eyes Aug 31 11:46:22 You... for an intelligent man you can be remarkably dense sometimes Aug 31 11:47:15 I am not an unattainable goal. I have flaws, just like any other man. Aug 31 11:47:44 Oh I know... but you stand so very tall in my mind. Aug 31 11:48:12 * Adalbrecht smiles, inclining his head Aug 31 11:48:18 Thank you, my son Aug 31 11:48:41 * Morgan nods Aug 31 11:49:16 I'm going to take Edwards advice and engage Witts to find me a captain and crew for my ships. Aug 31 11:49:25 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 31 11:49:47 He seems like one of the more sensible young men of Edward's acquaintance Aug 31 11:50:36 I recommend you get to know DeeDee and Wonks... they are very intelligent Aug 31 11:52:58 * Adalbrecht nods " They are leaving in the morning I believe" Aug 31 11:56:27 Edward has resolved to ask a couple of them to stay and work with him Aug 31 11:57:27 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 31 11:57:53 Knowing the men who run things is sensible Aug 31 11:58:39 * Morgan nods Aug 31 11:58:41 Yes it is Aug 31 12:02:03 Joseff seems well today Aug 31 12:05:44 * Morgan nods, looking saddened Aug 31 12:05:52 Edward spoke to him about taking over Aug 31 12:07:35 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 31 12:07:49 It is time. I had not heard how bad it was Aug 31 12:08:18 * Morgan nods Aug 31 12:08:45 Joseff saw that it was the right thing to do... I just hope he remembers that when it comes time to sign the paperwork Aug 31 12:09:17 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 31 12:09:59 I will speak to Edward after lunch. If he is about to become the Freiarr, I want him starting that off on a footing of confidence Aug 31 12:10:39 I appreciate that father Aug 31 12:12:58 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 31 12:13:35 I might have to wait until his hour has passed, he is quite strict about it Aug 31 12:13:51 * Morgan nods Aug 31 12:13:59 Its useful... Aug 31 12:17:29 I do not understand the necessity of it Aug 31 12:19:50 Our attention is required a great deal... in that hour you are not disturbed except in a matter or urgency... you could spend that entire hour heaping affection on your wife, making her feel like she's the only thing in the world that matters... Aug 31 12:22:14 Here, that is possible. But when running a Grafdom, you will find that is unsustainable Aug 31 12:23:00 Possibly, but I intend to try... and I suggest that, while you are here, you take advantage of that opportunity Aug 31 12:25:32 You find it is useful, and not a distraction from your work? Aug 31 12:26:03 * Morgan nods Aug 31 12:26:25 The time outside of that hour, I am less... distracted... Aug 31 12:28:09 Distracted by what? Aug 31 12:28:34 * Morgan clears his throat Aug 31 12:28:39 Lets say... womanly wiles Aug 31 12:29:16 Oh, I thought you meant something else. That is not a problem I have. Aug 31 12:30:07 Perhaps... it should be. Aug 31 12:32:35 I will spend the time with my wife. If she finds benefit in Edward's system, I will see about making a dedicated time each day to walk with her or spend time with her Aug 31 12:33:08 * Morgan grins Aug 31 12:33:17 I am _certain_ she will enjoy that Aug 31 12:34:52 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 31 12:36:57 * Adalbrecht notices another mark on the desk, it does seem to be a finger print. He tuts "I know it is Prophet's Mass, but desks should be neatly polished." Aug 31 12:39:03 Oh, thats my fault Aug 31 12:39:41 Why? Aug 31 12:40:33 Molly and I were discussing Dietlinde and Jana... she sat on the desk while we were open with eachother... Aug 31 12:41:07 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 31 12:41:25 That went well? Aug 31 12:42:11 * Morgan nods Aug 31 12:42:12 yes Aug 31 12:43:15 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 31 12:44:30 *the lunch bell rings* Aug 31 12:44:43 Was there anything else? Aug 31 12:45:51 No, I don't think so Aug 31 12:47:11 * Adalbrecht stands up, patting Morgan on the shoulder Aug 31 12:47:20 You are doing well. Aug 31 12:50:21 How do you mean? Aug 31 12:51:38 With what you are learning about how to be a Graf Aug 31 12:52:17 * Morgan nods, standing up Aug 31 12:52:21 That means much to me Aug 31 12:53:42 * Adalbrecht nods, leaving the library. HH is lurking again Aug 31 12:53:58 * Morgan looks at him Aug 31 12:54:00 What sup? Aug 31 12:54:12 * Adalbrecht goes on ahead Aug 31 12:54:16 * Adalbrecht is now known as HH Aug 31 12:54:28 Nothin'. At a bit of a loose end Aug 31 12:57:36 Why? Its lunchtime... like another breakfast... Aug 31 13:00:21 * HH shrugs Aug 31 13:01:34 Been wiping out the Eisen barbarians and ancient Vodacce armies with zombies. Turns out it gets a bit easy once y' start taking their troops. Aug 31 13:06:25 * Morgan laughs Aug 31 13:09:35 How you doin', man? Aug 31 13:10:35 * Morgan nods Aug 31 13:10:41 'M alright Aug 31 13:13:13 * HH nods Aug 31 13:13:52 Kinda missin' 'ome. Only Prophets Masses I missed there was in th' War Aug 31 13:14:22 * Morgan nods, moving to hug him Aug 31 13:15:43 * HH hugs him back Aug 31 13:16:22 Wanna go spend some time just the two of us? Aug 31 13:16:31 Or we could grab Claudia... Aug 31 13:17:02 Nah, I'm hungry an' it's rainin'. Mebbie after quiet hour? Aug 31 13:17:11 * Morgan nods Aug 31 13:17:25 I've got to talk to Witts and spend some time with Mina, but... we will find time Aug 31 13:17:56 * HH nods Aug 31 13:18:29 You gonna be back for Prophets Mass next year, or still travelling? Aug 31 13:19:19 Hoping to have a babe in arms or have one due by then... I want to be back Aug 31 13:21:08 * HH nods "Yep, so we're gonna want you back for it" Aug 31 13:21:33 * Morgan nods Aug 31 13:26:40 * HH stops walking Aug 31 13:26:49 You meant me and Inga, yeah? Aug 31 13:27:08 No... I didn't... Aug 31 13:27:32 * HH lights up " You serious?!" Aug 31 13:28:26 We have to wait for the herbs to leave Molly's body, allow it to return to normal... but, yes... Aug 31 13:29:01 *he hugs Morgan hard* What the hell, I thought you were hell bent on waitin'?! Aug 31 13:30:09 I was but... I done want to see another two prophets mass' before we have one Aug 31 13:30:32 * HH lets go Aug 31 13:30:37 That's great, man! Aug 31 13:31:11 * Morgan nods Aug 31 13:32:43 Inga's gonna be over the moon. She stopped taking the herbs when we were in Seeufer, but we didn't wanna say an' upset you guys when you were cut up over waiting Aug 31 13:33:17 * Morgan looks pained briefly before pulling him into a hug again Aug 31 13:33:38 * HH hugs him again Aug 31 13:33:41 You know it could take a while before her body returns to normal? Aug 31 13:34:33 Yep, heard all about it from that midwife. Gonna be travelling a few months anyway, makes sense to use the time to clear it Aug 31 13:34:51 * Morgan nods Aug 31 13:34:53 Indeed Aug 31 13:35:08 Ah man, so pleased for you! Aug 31 13:35:23 * Morgan nods, letting go Aug 31 13:36:11 I've told my father but mother isn't to know... we don't want her waiting on every... I was going to say letter as my father did but thats not the case Aug 31 13:40:39 * HH nods Aug 31 13:40:48 Not tellin my Ma either Aug 31 13:41:26 * Morgan nods Aug 31 13:41:32 Probably best Aug 31 13:42:55 * HH nods Aug 31 13:43:23 Mebbie we'll have babies at the same time. Bit like Beth said to Aug 31 13:44:01 * Morgan nods Aug 31 13:44:02 maybe Aug 31 13:44:43 Only thing is... ours will be born in Sudlachenburg... you willing to endure your ma fussing around a pregnant Mina or a baby HeinzHarold? Aug 31 13:45:10 * HH nods Aug 31 13:45:42 It's that or get strung up by my plums for not takin' her there, Aug 31 13:46:30 * Morgan nods Aug 31 13:48:21 Not wanting them born at Hafenlohr now then? Aug 31 13:49:03 Tradition, ain't it Aug 31 13:50:58 * HH nods Aug 31 13:51:06 Reckon Molly's told Inga? Aug 31 13:51:52 Tough to say Aug 31 13:53:26 * HH nods Aug 31 13:53:52 Better chance o' her telling that rather than about whatever was goin' on in the library Aug 31 13:55:16 It occurred to me that if you told Inga whatever was going on in there, she wouldn't believe you because it doesn't fit with her image of me... Aug 31 13:56:03 * HH nods Aug 31 13:56:13 She thinks yer a good boy Aug 31 13:56:21 * Morgan nods Aug 31 13:56:27 As opposed to a very good one Aug 31 13:59:08 * HH sniggers Aug 31 13:59:22 Nah, she knows some of that Aug 31 14:01:20 Oh? Aug 31 14:02:24 I'm reliably informed that you aren't as rubbish as could be expected given yer limited experience *he grins* Aug 31 14:03:34 I see Aug 31 14:04:31 You're doin' well enough, but she doesn't boast like my lil darlin does Aug 31 14:05:41 Maybe she doesn't wish Inga to realise that she's riding a lame horse... Aug 31 14:07:33 Yeah, I can understand why Molly would wanna keep the secrets of your failings to 'erself Aug 31 14:07:50 * Morgan snorts Aug 31 14:08:22 I tell you what I had to explain to my father while we were out in the woods the night before the wedding? Aug 31 14:08:35 * HH grins Aug 31 14:08:48 Yeah, wish I'd seen the look on yer face Aug 31 14:10:09 One of the most uncomfortable things I've ever had to do Aug 31 14:10:34 * HH laughs Aug 31 14:10:50 How'd he gets so old without knowin' that?! Aug 31 14:11:28 He's such an innocent soul... Aug 31 14:12:33 Used t' say that about you, an' now look at ya Aug 31 14:13:25 Thats very true Aug 31 14:17:32 As long as yer enjoying yerselves Aug 31 14:18:10 That is a fair assessment, yes Aug 31 14:21:26 * HH nods, going in to lunch and sitting by Inga Aug 31 14:25:03 * HH is now known as Molly Aug 31 14:25:19 * Molly smiles at him, waiting for him to sit beside her Aug 31 14:26:05 * Morgan does so, kissing her cheek Aug 31 14:28:22 * Molly smiles more, her knee against his leg beneath the table. The chatter is loud, Claudia isn't with them. Varick tells Morgan in great detail about the battle and all the tactics. Aug 31 14:31:43 * Morgan engages with Varick, listening intently to his tale Aug 31 14:32:50 *he notices Mina glancing at the clock a few times* Aug 31 14:34:10 * Morgan smiles faintly, glancing at Edward Aug 31 14:36:04 *Edward is talking to his friends completely relaxed and not paying any attention to the time* Aug 31 14:36:25 * Morgan checks the time Aug 31 14:41:27 *it is twenty to one. Varick is starting to wind down, and lunch is finished. There's a move to the drawing room* Aug 31 14:45:06 * Morgan approaches Witts Aug 31 14:45:23 Can I have a word before I go spend some time with my wife? Aug 31 14:45:41 * Molly is now known as Witts Aug 31 14:45:50 Certainly, your Excellency Aug 31 14:46:14 Perhaps the library? Aug 31 14:47:04 * Witts nods, taking his coffee with him Aug 31 14:47:23 * Morgan joins him, taking coffee too Aug 31 14:48:08 * Witts sits by the fire Aug 31 14:48:21 * Morgan sits opposite him Aug 31 14:48:37 Edward suggested I speak with you... Aug 31 14:48:55 * Witts nods Aug 31 14:49:12 Are you headed for Picante again? Aug 31 14:51:05 No, not at the moment... we're soon to bugger off into the unknown... but I have a ship ready to sail, and another due to launch in the new year... I want to engage your services to find a crew, captain and help with trade, since my man of business is currently in Avalon and, once they return, he will have a baern that takes up his time Aug 31 14:51:35 * Witts nods Aug 31 14:51:41 Based where? Aug 31 14:51:57 On the water, they're ships Aug 31 14:52:03 * Morgan smiles slightly, sipping his coffee Aug 31 14:52:14 Which port, your Excellency? Aug 31 14:53:58 We haven't actually made that decision yet... they're being built in Zweibruck, obviously... Aug 31 14:56:00 * Witts nods Aug 31 14:56:45 It would be sensible to crew it there. Split your current crew and fill the gaps, or a fresh crew? Aug 31 14:57:31 What would you advise? Aug 31 14:59:09 Split it, so you have men you know and trust on each Aug 31 14:59:41 * Morgan nods Aug 31 14:59:44 Very well Aug 31 15:01:22 Do you have someone senior on the ship now who can be spared to be second in command to a new captain? *Koen is probably a good bet, but will mean Morgan needs another person heading watches on the Rose* Aug 31 15:02:05 Koen would be suitable, though it means finding someone else to head watches on the Rose while we travel Aug 31 15:04:09 * Witts nods Aug 31 15:04:35 It would make sense to have him on your second ship. She has not been officially named yet? Aug 31 15:04:55 Not yet, though she has a name ready Aug 31 15:05:11 Bad luck to use it yet then Aug 31 15:07:38 * Morgan nods Aug 31 15:07:40 aye Aug 31 15:08:20 I don't know if you are aware... I am building a fleet... Edward believes I should have someone to manage it, and suggested you... Aug 31 15:08:56 I would be honoured to be hired by your Excellency Aug 31 15:10:13 Would you like some time to consider your terms? Aug 31 15:12:25 No. A fair wage is all I need. I am unmarried with no dependents. I can rent somewhere in whichever port you choose. Will there be raises in wage once the trade makes good profit? Aug 31 15:13:57 Do you think a raise in those circumstances would be fair? Aug 31 15:14:25 * Witts nods Aug 31 15:14:28 Absolutely Aug 31 15:14:41 And am I a fair person? Aug 31 15:17:27 I believe so Aug 31 15:18:19 Its one of my driving motivations... I want to prosper, absolutely, but I want others to as well, especially those who do the hard work Aug 31 15:18:57 * Witts nods Aug 31 15:19:23 I would like to prosper too Aug 31 15:19:51 * Morgan nods Aug 31 15:20:24 Where do you think would be best to be based? I had considered Starke but... that'd mean scouting the Schwarzenwald and I avoid that wherever possible Aug 31 15:23:11 That depends on what you want to trade, who your partners are, and how close to Sudlachenburg or Graben you want to be. The south coast makes more sense than the north Aug 31 15:24:15 * Morgan nods Aug 31 15:25:19 I'll need to get you sat down with Holzheim. He has agreed to assist in finding crew and has a contract for me to start off with... aside from Capperlucia, I have no other trade ties... yet. Aug 31 15:25:41 * Witts nods Aug 31 15:26:30 You have The Purple Rose, and the Second Ship. One is for Capperlucia and the other will run a different contract? Aug 31 15:30:15 I think so, aye... and the third is due to launch next month Aug 31 15:30:34 * Witts looks impressed Aug 31 15:30:50 It is going to be a sizeable undertaking then Aug 31 15:31:04 * Morgan nods Aug 31 15:31:15 Yes, it is, and I don't intend it to stop there Aug 31 15:31:38 * Witts nods Aug 31 15:32:21 The Third will run counter to the Rose? Edward said it is six weeks each way Aug 31 15:33:16 * Morgan nods Aug 31 15:33:29 Assuming we can establish enough demand, yes Aug 31 15:34:25 Without knowing much about the market there, Take basics if you are planning to sell there. Ceramics, tools, fabrics. Aug 31 15:35:01 The things everyone needs, rather than a niche... sounds a good idea Aug 31 15:35:50 * Witts nods Aug 31 15:37:28 I do have some contacts in Zweibrucke. I was planning to go to oversee a particularly thorny deal with a contact in Freiburg, but I will deal with that by letter. I can secure cargo suited to the trip Aug 31 15:38:08 * Morgan nods Aug 31 15:43:05 I will head south instead. Will the Rose be in dock? *she should have arrived about a week ago* Aug 31 15:44:40 She should have arrived a few days ago Aug 31 15:45:21 I will make contact with your captain then. Do you have correspondence to take with me? Aug 31 15:46:39 * Morgan nods Aug 31 15:46:49 I'll get anything we need to get taken arranged before you leave Aug 31 15:47:13 * Witts smiles a little Aug 31 15:47:18 Very good, your Excellency Aug 31 15:50:21 Lets dispense with that while we're not being observed, shall we... its cumbersome Aug 31 15:50:44 What would you prefer? Aug 31 15:51:29 Ideally, Morgan, but I'll settle for my lord when we're around others if its necessary Aug 31 15:52:07 I will do my best. My given name is Georg, but I prefer Witts Aug 31 15:53:18 Then Witts it will be. Aug 31 15:54:38 * Witts drinks his coffee "with a head start I can have something to make a start with when you arrive" Aug 31 15:55:48 * Morgan nods Aug 31 15:55:54 I look forward to seeing what you get in place Aug 31 15:56:07 * Witts nods Aug 31 15:56:17 I am grateful for the opportunity Aug 31 15:56:51 I'm grateful that a man my brother trusts so implicitly would work with me... Aug 31 15:57:40 Tiggy is one of the best men I have had the privilege of knowing, I would be dead without him. Aug 31 15:58:52 We have had our issues but... I can see now the sort of man he is Aug 31 16:03:48 * Witts nods Aug 31 16:04:21 He is happy here Aug 31 16:04:46 * Morgan nods Aug 31 16:04:57 I'm going to miss him a great deal Aug 31 16:05:10 * Witts nods Aug 31 16:05:18 I think we all will Aug 31 16:05:40 I think, though, this is where is best for him to be Aug 31 16:07:12 He's spent a long time longing for her Aug 31 16:07:44 * Morgan nods Aug 31 16:07:51 Aye, he has Aug 31 16:09:49 *the clock chimes one* Aug 31 16:14:08 Right, if you will excuse me, I'm going to take the opportunity to spent some quiet time with my wife Aug 31 16:15:20 * Witts smiles, sipping his coffee before standing and bowing Aug 31 16:17:26 *the house seems to observe quiet hour too, and he sees no one. He faintly hears that Adalbrecht is in Verity's room and talking* Aug 31 16:18:24 * Morgan slows, listening Aug 31 16:19:42 Ad: ...-seems somewhat unnecessary to me, but the boys value it Aug 31 16:20:31 * Morgan smirks slightly Aug 31 16:22:01 V: Our boys are very smart, perhaps you will sit and hold my wool whilst I keep working on this hat for Mina and Edward's first-born? Aug 31 16:26:35 Ad: Yes, my dear Aug 31 16:26:51 * Morgan smiles, heading into his room Aug 31 16:27:02 * Witts is now known as Molly Aug 31 16:27:26 * Molly is sat on the bed, shoes off and reading a book. She smiles Aug 31 16:28:43 I thought you might be a little busy today Aug 31 16:28:51 Oh? Aug 31 16:31:08 You were speaking with Witts, and your earlier need was resolved long before the quiet hour Aug 31 16:32:25 While I may not need to... ummm, _spend_ with you, I still wish to spend the time with you... if you do not mind? Aug 31 16:33:04 * Molly smiles, blushing a little. Aug 31 16:33:29 I do not mind at all. What would you like to do? Aug 31 16:34:18 I don't know really... we could talk... Aug 31 16:34:31 * Molly nods Aug 31 16:34:46 Would you like to do that lying together? Aug 31 16:40:21 * Morgan nods Aug 31 16:40:22 Yes, I would Aug 31 16:41:26 * Molly puts her book away, waiting for him to join her Aug 31 16:42:06 * Morgan does so Aug 31 16:44:20 * Molly kisses him gently Aug 31 16:44:25 I've missed you Aug 31 16:44:44 And I you, my love Aug 31 16:46:29 I have been thinking of you fondly whilst you have been busy Aug 31 16:49:44 Because I left you... in need... Aug 31 16:49:58 * Molly shakes her head Aug 31 16:51:03 Because thinking about you breaking your sensible thinking because I was teasing you is so very pleasing and enjoyable for me Aug 31 16:52:00 * Morgan nods Aug 31 16:53:39 I am not left in an unbearable predicament, do not fret Aug 31 16:54:26 * Morgan nods Aug 31 16:54:28 Alright blossom Aug 31 16:56:05 * Molly smiles Aug 31 16:56:35 Unless you had been busy pondering how to fix that. Mon petit chou Aug 31 16:56:40 ? Aug 31 16:57:14 I hadn't... but I am now Aug 31 16:57:57 Oh? Instead you were pondering whether I was escaping the card game to take matters in hand? Aug 31 16:58:45 Well I am _now_ Aug 31 16:59:29 Mmhmmm... enjoying yourself? Aug 31 16:59:35 * Molly smiles Aug 31 16:59:40 * Morgan chuckles Aug 31 16:59:43 I am rather Aug 31 17:00:03 * Molly watches him Aug 31 17:01:21 Like this? *theyre too close together to see how she runs her hand down her stomach, but he can feel the fabric being gathered upwards* Aug 31 17:02:37 * Morgan nods Aug 31 17:07:38 *the movement continues a moment before she bites her lower lip. He can feel a little of how her hand is both between her thighs and between their bodies* Aug 31 17:09:37 * Morgan blushes Aug 31 17:10:42 * Molly blinks a moment Aug 31 17:11:01 You... you do not like this? Should I stop? Aug 31 17:11:12 No! No I like it very much Aug 31 17:16:30 * Molly nods, relaxing a little. He can very slightly feel the movement, and very definitely see the increasing flush on her cheeks. She makes a soft "mmm" sound Aug 31 17:17:12 * Morgan watches her raptly Aug 31 17:19:48 * Molly watches him right back. He can feel her movements become less gentle, her brows coming together a little as her expanded pupils focus on his.

Aug 31 21:25:29 * Morgan nods Aug 31 21:25:31 Yes it has Aug 31 21:27:22 Are you still troubled by what he said about Florrie? Aug 31 21:27:34 * Morgan shrugs Aug 31 21:27:36 A little Aug 31 21:28:02 I was wondering if perhaps _he_ might be a little envious? Aug 31 21:28:17 Why? Aug 31 21:29:05 You found her, you are bonded to her. He is a stranger to her. And you have provided for her in ways he cannot, and you can visit her more freely Aug 31 21:29:45 I suppose you might be right... that reminds me, he asked me to arrange another meeting tomorrow Aug 31 21:30:47 Would you prefer I oversee that? Aug 31 21:31:34 No, I'll be alright Aug 31 21:33:53 You are more at peace with it now you have a revised plan? Aug 31 21:34:17 * Morgan nods Aug 31 21:34:19 Some, aye Aug 31 21:35:12 * MollyK smiles, dealing with the coffee when it comes before pulling out one bottle of herbs not two, and the mirror Aug 31 21:38:37 I am glad it is bringing you some peace Aug 31 21:38:59 * Morgan nods Aug 31 21:41:11 * MollyK does two drops from the bottle before putting it away. She then squeezes her breasts with a smile as she watches him "no, no leaking so far" Aug 31 21:42:42 * Morgan smirks Aug 31 21:44:24 * MollyK puts a note on the mirror for doing the same again tomorrow before sitting back with him Aug 31 21:44:36 What else would you like to discuss Aug 31 21:46:00 I have told HeinzHarold, Edward and my father about our change of plans Aug 31 21:46:58 Oh! That is unexpected Aug 31 21:49:18 You did not wish them to know? Aug 31 21:50:22 I had not even considered it yet, it was so new and unexpected Aug 31 21:51:50 * Morgan nods Aug 31 21:54:14 * MollyK takes his hand, smiling Aug 31 21:54:28 You're excited and wanted to share the news? Aug 31 21:56:23 I knew it would bring relief to father... and HeinzHarold, well... Aug 31 21:56:59 They have been worrying? Aug 31 21:58:16 I don't like keeping things from HeinzHarold... Aug 31 21:59:15 * MollyK nods Aug 31 21:59:48 No, you are very close. I only hope no one gets their hopes up, it could still be quite some time Aug 31 22:01:17 That is why we are not telling mother Aug 31 22:01:38 Or yours... she would be out planning a party every three and a half weeks Aug 31 22:04:24 * MollyK nods Aug 31 22:05:03 The thought of my mother knowing is horrifying, she would have a calendar and be asking if we are having intercourse often enough! Aug 31 22:05:15 * Morgan nods Aug 31 22:05:18 She would Aug 31 22:05:33 * MollyK glances at him with mischief Aug 31 22:06:09 And I would say "Mama, is twice a day enough, or should I make sure he is aching for me by bedtime as well?" Aug 31 22:08:00 * Morgan laughs Aug 31 22:10:50 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Aug 31 22:19:21 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
