**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Sep 5 22:28:08 2022 Sep 05 22:28:08 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Sep 05 22:33:20 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Sep 05 22:38:10 * MollyK is now known as Edward Sep 05 22:41:10 /me is found dressed and tidy in his office, already with coffee. The door is left open, and just for a moment when Edward is bent over and writing, he looks like Adalbrecht did when Morgan was a boy Sep 05 22:42:34 * Morgan watches him for a moment before tapping on the jamb Sep 05 22:42:43 * Edward looks up Sep 05 22:42:48 Morgan. Sep 05 22:43:28 * Morgan nods at a chair Sep 05 22:43:30 May I? Sep 05 22:43:47 Of course. How was he? Sep 05 22:45:08 * Morgan sighs, sitting down Sep 05 22:45:38 Not good. Much as it pains me to say it, I think you need to keep your door locked until you have a nurse in place Sep 05 22:46:03 * Edward nods Sep 05 22:46:14 He needs supervision Sep 05 22:46:51 definitely. I'd say a guard but, he need someone to care for him, not just keep him out of trouble Sep 05 22:47:00 * Edward nods Sep 05 22:47:18 When he is lucid he would be humiliated discovering he was being guarded Sep 05 22:47:27 * Morgan nods Sep 05 22:47:58 I worry that he will not recognise Mina and... place hands upon her Sep 05 22:48:13 * Edward nods Sep 05 22:48:33 I am glad she was not aware of his presence this morning Sep 05 22:48:57 Had you realised what his issue was? Sep 05 22:49:19 * Edward nods Sep 05 22:50:01 I thought getting him back to his room would give him the required privacy Sep 05 22:50:50 He wanted someone else to take care of it for him... thats why he was looking for Maria... then asked where Danvers was, apparently she used to... assist him before he was married... Molly arriving was somewhat ill timed Sep 05 22:51:20 * Edward goes from looking sympathetic to looking shocked, to looking grave Sep 05 22:51:31 I am sorry, Morgan, is Molly alright? Sep 05 22:51:54 She's fine. Despite his being handsy, no harm was done, to her or him Sep 05 22:52:25 I am sorry, if I'd realised I wouldn't have gone to get her Sep 05 22:53:11 It was necessary. She got him to sleep. Sep 05 22:53:20 * Edward nods Sep 05 22:53:34 Good... thank you for that Sep 05 22:54:02 * Morgan nods Sep 05 22:54:10 You need to get him a nurse as a matter of urgency Sep 05 22:54:15 * Edward nods Sep 05 22:54:39 So Danvers was his Friendly Maid then... interesting... Sep 05 22:55:00 Is it? Sep 05 22:55:08 * Edward glances at the door "shut that, will you?" Sep 05 22:56:35 * Morgan nods, doing so Sep 05 22:56:53 You didn't have a Friendly Maid at home? Sep 05 22:57:36 What? No! Sep 05 22:57:50 * Edward smiles, pouring him some coffee Sep 05 22:58:26 Alright. It's possible Danvers will be a good choice to nurse him Sep 05 22:58:34 * Morgan nods Sep 05 22:59:03 * Edward is chuckling as he hands over the coffee Sep 05 22:59:33 Sorry, your shock is amusing Sep 05 23:00:08 * Morgan nods slightly Sep 05 23:00:13 You're not the first to say that Sep 05 23:01:14 I can't believe you didn't know about it! Didn't any of the maids ever make it obvious to you that there were extra tasks they would do for you? Sep 05 23:01:25 Not that I noticed Sep 05 23:01:36 * Edward smiles Sep 05 23:01:54 Even at his Grace's I was having to thank them politely Sep 05 23:02:36 Not a single one of them approached me about anything like that Sep 05 23:03:04 Having your wife with you probably cramped your style Sep 05 23:03:41 Cant say anyone has _ever_ made themselves available to me like that... Sep 05 23:03:50 * Edward laughs Sep 05 23:04:05 Or you were too naive to see the opportunity Sep 05 23:04:16 Could be Sep 05 23:04:44 I am sure Inga and Molly have heard of it even if you havent Sep 05 23:05:27 * Morgan frowns Sep 05 23:05:50 * Edward looks at his expression, laughing again Sep 05 23:06:03 No, Inga was not my Friendly Maid! Sep 05 23:08:35 Thats not what I was thinking Sep 05 23:08:48 What the, brother? Sep 05 23:09:01 Then* Sep 05 23:09:54 That its not something I would allow when I ran the Torrington Estate Sep 05 23:10:12 If you knew about it... Sep 05 23:10:26 * Morgan scowls Sep 05 23:11:21 * Edward shrugs "maybe it's not an Avalonian thing?" Sep 05 23:12:08 Maybe Sep 05 23:12:29 Oh, I meant to say... Alice says nine or ten oclock Sep 05 23:12:37 * Edward nods Sep 05 23:12:42 Very well Sep 05 23:12:58 * Edward looks at him Sep 05 23:13:39 You think I should tell Danvers that is not to happen even if he asks and she is willing? Sep 05 23:14:49 The problem, as I see it, isn't that... if he expects her to look younger.... It could upset him Sep 05 23:15:04 * Edward nods Sep 05 23:15:11 I suppose so Sep 05 23:15:41 Another nurse then, someone younger and unfamiliar? Sep 05 23:16:05 But Danvers has clearly been by his side for a long time Sep 05 23:17:00 She was a maid from her childhood, I think she's only three or four years older than him Sep 05 23:18:02 * Morgan nods Sep 05 23:18:19 I think perhaps its something to speak to her about... and him... Sep 05 23:18:29 * Edward nods Sep 05 23:18:45 That is surprisingly open-minded of you Sep 05 23:20:30 * Morgan shrugs Sep 05 23:20:38 Its practical and possibly the kindest option Sep 05 23:20:44 [liebes herz? *she sounds breathless, which should be impossible telepathically*] Sep 05 23:20:58 [yes? Are you alright?] Sep 05 23:21:10 Better that than him importuning another woman Sep 05 23:21:23 * Morgan nods Sep 05 23:21:30 [Heinzharold has umm... peed himself] Sep 05 23:21:40 [what?!] Sep 05 23:22:03 [he laughed so hard that he wet himself] Sep 05 23:22:13 [ah. You told him then] Sep 05 23:22:19 I will speak to them today. Sep 05 23:23:01 Do you want my help with that? Sep 05 23:23:01 [Apparently it's hilarious, especially when I say it in your tone of voice] Sep 05 23:23:29 If you feel you would be better... but I know these things are uncomfortable for you Sep 05 23:23:53 * Edward is watching his expression Sep 05 23:24:15 [You did an impression of me...] Sep 05 23:24:37 [not a very good one, I think] Sep 05 23:24:40 * Morgan sighs Sep 05 23:25:02 It would be... but I will do it if you wish. Sep 05 23:25:15 \me shakes his head Sep 05 23:26:24 I will do it. Baelor has been sent for to sort the succession papers, and I have sent a note to call on His Grace before lunch. Sep 05 23:26:39 * Morgan nods Sep 05 23:27:07 [are you unhappy about that?] Sep 05 23:27:16 [no my love] Sep 05 23:27:53 [shall I show you what happened to Heinzharold?] Sep 05 23:28:10 Are you joining me at His Grace's? Sep 05 23:28:12 [please] Sep 05 23:29:04 If you still wish me to, yes. I wondered if perhaps father would be disappointed at not being there to see you receive your title Sep 05 23:31:55 *she does. HH is leaning against the door frame, Molly and Inga are sat on the bed. She gets to the bit where Adalbrecht says he won't be offended if she climaxes, and HH is already laughing hard, clutching his stomach. Then she does a reasonable impression of Morgan's speaking pattern explaining how she should help Adalbrecht learn by being a good Sep 05 23:31:55 girl and helpful. HH starts turning purple with laughter, then suddenly grabs the crotch of his grey trousers as a huge dark mark spreads from behind his hands and onto the legs] Sep 05 23:32:19 I might invite him, if Heinzharold can handle things here? Sep 05 23:33:10 * Morgan blinks a couple of times Sep 05 23:33:20 What... ummm... what time are your friends leaving? Sep 05 23:33:42 Just after breakfast I think. Not long Sep 05 23:33:50 * Morgan nods slightly Sep 05 23:34:23 Aye, once he's got a change of trousers, he'll be fine to keep an eye on things... especially with Claudia around Sep 05 23:34:55 * Edward smiles, watching him "Do I need to send for Molly to be your Freindly Maid, Brother? I've seen you look that distracted before, and it was because you were thinking of getting her alone for the night! Sep 05 23:35:49 No... no, its nothing like that... she's just managed to make HeinzHarold wet himself, and was... 'showing' me how Sep 05 23:36:02 * Edward looks confused Sep 05 23:36:07 Showing you? Sep 05 23:36:22 * Morgan nods Sep 05 23:36:43 We can sort of... show eachother what we see, or can imagine... Sep 05 23:36:54 * Edward laughs Sep 05 23:37:20 Now _that_ power I would be interested in! Sep 05 23:37:27 * Morgan nods Sep 05 23:37:33 You've got your mind in the gutter Sep 05 23:38:13 I've been married five days, that is to be expected! Sep 05 23:38:33 Fairly sure its SOP for you Sep 05 23:38:57 * Edward nods a little Sep 05 23:39:14 Probably right, from about fourteen or so. Sep 05 23:39:19 * Morgan nods Sep 05 23:40:40 When can I expect all this enthusiasm to wear off a bit? You've been married six months now? Assuming Mina is not increasing in that time, when should I expect a slow down? Sep 05 23:40:58 I'll let you know Sep 05 23:41:14 * Edward laughs Sep 05 23:42:05 I meant more like when will it drop to just once a day, or every other day? Sep 05 23:42:18 * Morgan blushes Sep 05 23:42:30 Times of stress... aside from that... I'lll let you know Sep 05 23:42:39 * Edward laughs Sep 05 23:43:11 Alright. I thought perhaps you would be a better yardstick than Zench and Heidi... Sep 05 23:44:35 The limiting factor in our case is travel.. and my being distant on occasion... turns out if we're in a house for more than a day, we're like rabbits Sep 05 23:44:49 * Edward laughs Sep 05 23:45:41 Careful you don't do yourself a mischief! Sep 05 23:46:04 More concerned with getting caught... Sep 05 23:46:22 Your lock is broken? Sep 05 23:47:42 No... on one occasion we were overheard... Sep 05 23:48:00 Not by Father, I hope! Sep 05 23:48:07 HeinzHarold Sep 05 23:48:16 * Edward shrugs Sep 05 23:48:25 That's entirely different Sep 05 23:48:57 To you, perhaps. Some elements of Saint Morgan of Puritytown remain Sep 05 23:49:04 * Edward laughs Sep 05 23:50:20 One time Zench had invited me for dinner, and told me to come at six. It turned out he meant seven. He and Heidi were the ones coming at six, and they were already at the dinning table... Sep 05 23:51:03 * Morgan blushes Sep 05 23:51:17 HeinzHarold very nearly caught us yesterday Sep 05 23:51:29 Oh Sep 05 23:51:31 ? Sep 05 23:51:38 * Morgan nods Sep 05 23:51:46 * Edward looks relaxed, sipping his coffee Sep 05 23:52:34 If he'd been forty seconds earlier... Sep 05 23:52:49 * Edward laughs Sep 05 23:52:54 Close! Sep 05 23:53:36 Nearly saw me cross eyed and sweaty Sep 05 23:54:01 * Edward nearly chokes on his coffee before laughing hard Sep 05 23:54:53 * Morgan smiles slightly, sipping his coffee Sep 05 23:55:48 Potts has walked in on me at almost such a moment, but not quite that late, but enough to ruin it for me entirely Sep 05 23:56:14 I would imagine that would be the effect of his arriving unannounced at that time, yes Sep 05 23:56:41 It would have been worrying if his face had made it better! Sep 05 23:57:30 You'd be discovering all kinds of things about yourself Sep 05 23:57:41 * Edward nods Sep 05 23:59:26 We are close, but not that close. *He watches Morgan with a smirk* I was going to tell you a story, but I realised it'd probably be a bit shocking even for you
