**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Sep 9 09:16:17 2022 Sep 09 09:16:17 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Sep 09 10:02:40 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Sep 09 10:03:44 [22:59:52] MollyK: That is sad. This is so special Sep 09 10:04:09 * Morgan nods slightly Sep 09 10:08:02 * MollyK kisses his crown Sep 09 10:08:24 What is on your mind, my love? You seem quiet? Sep 09 10:09:37 Cold water relaxes me, that's all Sep 09 10:10:51 Alright, liebling, we will just be quiet a while then Sep 09 10:11:31 * Morgan nods, quiet for a moment Sep 09 10:11:38 Fuchs already knew Sep 09 10:11:57 Did he? How? Sep 09 10:13:27 He's obvservant Sep 09 10:14:28 * MollyK nods Sep 09 10:14:42 I suppose it could be noticeable Sep 09 10:15:22 Little things... she smells like she did last time, apparently Sep 09 10:15:49 That is a thing? Sep 09 10:16:33 * Morgan nods Sep 09 10:16:36 Yes Sep 09 10:17:03 Oh! I did not know. What is the difference? Sep 09 10:17:53 Its hard to describe... really _really_ hard to describe Sep 09 10:18:41 * MollyK nods Sep 09 10:18:49 It is not unpleasant though? Sep 09 10:21:17 Definitely not Sep 09 10:21:37 * MollyK nods Sep 09 10:21:40 Alright Sep 09 10:26:23 * Morgan yawns Sep 09 10:27:15 Are you relieved it is going to be resolved between them? Sep 09 10:27:36 * Morgan nods Sep 09 10:27:48 He didn't realise she was trying to keep it from him Sep 09 10:28:27 That is better, isn't it? He is not upset? Sep 09 10:29:43 * Morgan nods Sep 09 10:29:55 A shame she has been feeling guilty about it... and I did not help in that Sep 09 10:31:33 Why so? Sep 09 10:32:52 I gave her insight into what he might feel when he found out if something did go wrong... but he already knew... Sep 09 10:33:34 You were trying to help them, my love Sep 09 10:33:58 * Morgan nods Sep 09 10:35:43 But you feel badly about it? Sep 09 10:35:56 * Morgan nods Sep 09 10:35:57 Aye Sep 09 10:36:16 * MollyK kisses his crown Sep 09 10:36:29 I am sure Stef will assure you it is not needed Sep 09 10:37:28 Probably Sep 09 10:37:59 Did it help _you_ to talk about it? Sep 09 10:39:47 A little maybe Sep 09 10:40:41 * MollyK nods Sep 09 10:41:01 As always, I am hear to listen whenever you feel you wish to talk about it Sep 09 10:41:35 * Morgan nods Sep 09 10:43:49 Are you ready to sleep, my love? Sep 09 10:43:58 * Morgan nods Sep 09 10:46:21 You can stay right here, if you wish? Sep 09 10:46:48 It is not uncomfortable? Sep 09 10:46:59 Not especially, no Sep 09 10:49:20 I would not wish you discomfort by my staying here Sep 09 10:50:18 I will move later if it becomes uncomfortable Sep 09 10:50:50 * Morgan nods, sounding sleepy Sep 09 10:50:52 Alright Sep 09 10:51:58 * MollyK strokes his braids "sleep well, liebling" Sep 09 10:53:02 * Morgan murmurs quietly Sep 09 10:56:37 *just as he's drifting off, he hears her say quietly, more to herself than for response * let's not dream of any of these things, my love... Sep 09 10:59:25 *He starts to dream. He had left Molly Connie and Will beside the fire. His first stop had been to have someone take them wood, but it had been hard to concentrate. She had had a crush on him? How had he not picked that up? And Jaeger had beaten her but the two times he had passed them together this year in the street they had seemed fine. A switch Sep 09 10:59:26 to the back, wielded with anger, every six weeks or so. His own back is testament to the sort of scarring she probably would have long term. He should not be imagining what her naked skin would be like if he saw her undressed, even if it is limited just to her back. Sep 09 10:59:26 He is angry with Jaeger for hurting her, and himself for not stopping the wedding. He has only calmed a little once the food is sent and he is back at Lady Torrington's. He tells her the tale, and she offers her aid, but he is reluctant to take it. The law is on the Jaegers' side, and Morgan doesn't want Catherine getting tangled up in being an Sep 09 10:59:26 accomplice. He hadn't needed to tell her anything, but he needed time to think. (Mtf) Sep 09 10:59:55 Would Heinzharold accept a woman and two children, would there be space at his Ma's house? She could also be quite firm, would Molly be looked after enough? How could he ensure he gets them safely there? How much will it cost? Despite her plans to sell things, she is unlikely to raise much, and travel is expensive. Maybe he should check his Sep 09 10:59:55 account, not the one he uses in Tawstock, but the one in his real name. Sep 09 10:59:55 He would need to go to Carleon for that, and if he is doing that he might as well take her and the children with him, and send them to Freiburg with Captain Holzheim, who he trusts to keep them safe on the way. He is wracking his brain for who could then take her from Freiburg to Sudlachenburg when he gets back to Peony Street later that evening. Sep 09 10:59:55 It is already seven. Sep 09 11:00:00 (Done) Sep 09 11:02:48 * Morgan knocks quietly Sep 09 11:03:21 * MollyK opens the door herself. She smiles a little when she sees it is him Sep 09 11:03:27 Good evening, Morgan Sep 09 11:03:33 * Morgan inclines his head Sep 09 11:03:34 Molly Sep 09 11:03:46 * MollyK lets him in Sep 09 11:04:35 *The kitchen is warm, and smells of beef stew and hot bread and butter. There's no sign of the children* Sep 09 11:05:54 Little ones already to bed? Sep 09 11:07:22 * MollyK nods, shutting the door Sep 09 11:07:49 It has been so long since they had such a good meal, they were exhausted Sep 09 11:08:15 * Morgan nods Sep 09 11:08:19 * MollyK holds out her hands for his coat Sep 09 11:08:25 They're very sweet Sep 09 11:08:36 * Morgan takes his coat off, handing it to her Sep 09 11:08:39 You _will_ stay a while, I hope? Sep 09 11:09:20 * MollyK holds it close just a little longer than is needed before hanging it Sep 09 11:09:59 * Morgan nods Sep 09 11:10:15 We need to discuss the plan Sep 09 11:10:21 * MollyK nods Sep 09 11:10:26 Will you eat? Sep 09 11:11:09 Providing you have all had your fill... Sep 09 11:11:16 * MollyK nods Sep 09 11:11:45 I saved some for you. I could think of no other way to show you our deep gratitude *she watches him* Sep 09 11:12:07 There really is no need Sep 09 11:12:37 There is _every_ need. You have given us so much already Sep 09 11:13:43 * MollyK goes to dish up his food before putting it on the table. The bowl and plate are good quality but a little chipped from hard use. Sep 09 11:14:11 * Morgan sits at the table Sep 09 11:15:41 *The food is good, there are herbs in it where he had forgotten to send any. She also makes some tea that he did remember to send, sitting opposite him at the small table. Aside from the firelight, there's only one candle* The children think you are a hero Sep 09 11:17:27 Children are easily impressed... have you told them the plan? Sep 09 11:17:45 No, I haven't Sep 09 11:18:31 * Morgan nods Sep 09 11:19:01 I cannot risk them seeing someone and saying anything Sep 09 11:19:09 * Morgan nods Sep 09 11:19:11 That makes sense Sep 09 11:19:21 * MollyK smiles slightly Sep 09 11:19:29 It would not be Maida though Sep 09 11:19:46 No? Sep 09 11:20:01 She is not returning Sep 09 11:20:13 Whyso? Sep 09 11:20:58 She says if I am going to let guests talk to her like that I can do without her Sep 09 11:22:00 It is acceptable to despair of your employer... it is not acceptable to voice that in front of guests Sep 09 11:22:32 * MollyK nods Sep 09 11:23:12 It makes things a little harder, but it will save me a few pennies and we will need every one Sep 09 11:25:16 I'm going to escort you to Carleon... I have some business to attend to there Sep 09 11:25:36 * MollyK looks relieved Sep 09 11:25:53 Thank you, Morgan, you have no idea how much that means to me Sep 09 11:26:22 * Morgan nods slightly, sipping the tea Sep 09 11:26:44 When do you wish to leave? Sep 09 11:27:16 The sooner the better Sep 09 11:27:45 I have not sold anything yet, but if I take them I can do so when we get there? Sep 09 11:29:12 * Morgan nods Sep 09 11:29:23 I should warn you... HeinzHarolds mother is a formidable woman Sep 09 11:29:36 He is not married? Sep 09 11:29:46 Not the last I heard Sep 09 11:29:55 * MollyK looks thoughtful Sep 09 11:30:02 What sort of man is he? Sep 09 11:30:14 The very best of men Sep 09 11:30:20 * MollyK smiles Sep 09 11:30:27 That is nice... Sep 09 11:31:17 * MollyK sips her tea Sep 09 11:31:23 Does he like children? Sep 09 11:31:59 He basically is one Sep 09 11:32:11 Oh... in a bad way? Sep 09 11:32:39 No. There is no-one I would trust more to keep you safe Sep 09 11:32:48 * MollyK smiles Sep 09 11:32:54 More than yourself? Sep 09 11:34:01 He's _nearly_ as good as me Sep 09 11:34:12 * MollyK smiles Sep 09 11:34:40 Is he _as_ kind? As _smart_? As handsome? Sep 09 11:35:10 Moreso, yes, though you wouldn't believe it, and much much more Sep 09 11:35:17 In that order Sep 09 11:35:29 * MollyK smiles, sipping her tea Sep 09 11:36:00 I look forward to meeting him. Are you sure the children and I will not be an unwelcome burden? Sep 09 11:36:28 I don't think so. I'm still working on that part of the plan Sep 09 11:36:36 * MollyK nods Sep 09 11:37:26 Anywhere out of Avalon is safer. On the road to Carleon, would you help me cut my hair short? Sep 09 11:40:19 * Morgan frowns Sep 09 11:40:33 Once you're out of Avalon, it won't be an issue... Sep 09 11:41:40 It is too distinctive. It is hard to achieve quite this colour with dyes. Here, I will show you why Sep 09 11:42:53 * MollyK unpins and unbraids her hair. He's never seen it down before, but it is long, soft and curly. She moves closer, turning some of it to the light Sep 09 11:45:49 * Morgan nods Sep 09 11:45:53 I see Sep 09 11:45:58 Dyes like henna and saffron can give an orangey-red, but this... it has almost a blueish tone to the red. I have never seen anyone with hair this shade. *she continues moving it* Sep 09 11:47:29 That will be difficult Sep 09 11:49:03 I was thinking to about here... *she gestures to just above her shoulder* I can dye it black. Sep 09 11:49:42 * Morgan nods Sep 09 11:49:46 That would make sense I suppose Sep 09 11:50:01 * MollyK looks a little unsure of herself Sep 09 11:50:07 Would it suit? Sep 09 11:50:13 * Morgan nods Sep 09 11:50:22 It would... it'd look wonderful Sep 09 11:50:54 * MollyK smiles, braiding it loosely and tying the end off with a ribbon, as she probably does for bed Sep 09 11:51:04 I am glad you think so Sep 09 11:51:54 * Morgan nods, finishing his food Sep 09 11:52:08 * MollyK clears the table, washing up Sep 09 11:52:16 The food was alright? Sep 09 11:52:23 It was marvellous Sep 09 11:52:44 * MollyK giggles "you flatter me, I think" Sep 09 11:53:40 I simply speak the truth Sep 09 11:54:28 * MollyK tops up the tea before taking hers to sit by the fire, on an old cushion on the floor Sep 09 11:54:37 You wished to discuss the plan? Sep 09 11:54:47 * Morgan nods, joining her Sep 09 11:57:33 * MollyK watches him, smiling gently Sep 09 11:57:40 At Carleon I'm going to put you in the care of Holzheim... he was the first officer of the ship that brought me here Sep 09 11:57:50 * MollyK nods Sep 09 11:58:04 Is he a good man? We will be safe? Sep 09 11:58:26 * Morgan nods Sep 09 11:58:30 I believe so, yes Sep 09 11:58:41 I would not put your safety in danger Sep 09 11:58:46 * MollyK nods Sep 09 11:58:52 And what then? Sep 09 12:00:21 I need to find a safe way to get you from Freiburg to Sudlachenburg Sep 09 12:00:34 Is that far? Sep 09 12:01:55 A week if you go overland, three if you go by ferry then overland but that is more expensive Sep 09 12:02:08 * MollyK nods Sep 09 12:04:00 We should go overland then. *she thinks* perhaps I can hire a horse, I think the children and I could manage on one. Then it is simply how to defend them should I need to. Sep 09 12:05:47 * Morgan nods, frowning Sep 09 12:06:48 Perhaps this man Holzheim would have a contact, someone who can protect and guide us until we get close? Mistreatment of myself is not new to me, but I -must- protect my children, at any cost. Sep 09 12:07:10 * Morgan nods Sep 09 12:08:39 Will will be delighted to go on a ship. He has long been fascinated with them in the dock, as I was as a child Sep 09 12:08:50 * Morgan nods Sep 09 12:09:02 It used to be said I was born with salt water in my veins Sep 09 12:09:09 * MollyK smiles Sep 09 12:09:18 Have you sailed much? Sep 09 12:10:44 I was in the navy during the war Sep 09 12:11:31 How interesting! I used to imagine what it must be like to be out at sea, no land in sight, just blue, and blue, and blue everywhere Sep 09 12:12:00 * Morgan smiles slightly Sep 09 12:12:04 Its very blue Sep 09 12:12:22 * MollyK smiles, watching him "are you teasing me?" Sep 09 12:13:01 Not at all... It ca get a little... dull. Whats over there? Oh, its the sea.... What about over there? More sea... Sep 09 12:13:22 I think it sounds delightful Sep 09 12:14:39 Its alright... its when the ship is skipping along the waves thats what I dreamed of Sep 09 12:16:30 The vast freedom and peace? Sep 09 12:17:30 * Morgan shrugs Sep 09 12:17:33 Its hard to describe Sep 09 12:17:49 * MollyK sips her tea, swirling it a moment. "And now? What are your hopes and dreams now?" Sep 09 12:18:01 * Morgan sighs Sep 09 12:18:20 I... have not hoped for a long time, and my dreams are dark Sep 09 12:18:40 * MollyK watches him compassionately Sep 09 12:19:11 You deserve so much more. You are too kind and generous a man for such suffering. Sep 09 12:19:52 * Morgan sips his tea, staring at the flames Sep 09 12:20:30 * MollyK watches his profile before suddenly standing "I should check on the children" Sep 09 12:21:55 * Morgan nods Sep 09 12:23:34 * MollyK does go up the stairs. There is one, near the top, that squeaks, just like the one that was in his cottage Sep 09 12:24:17 * Morgan scowls at the fire Sep 09 12:26:04 * MollyK is gone a few minutes before she comes back. She starts busying herself with putting their meagre possessions onto the table from drawers. Sep 09 12:26:24 Can we leave at first light, or do you need longer? Sep 09 12:27:19 * Morgan nods Sep 09 12:27:29 First light will be fine Sep 09 12:28:30 I... should let you get home to rest Sep 09 12:29:22 * Morgan smiles slightly Sep 09 12:29:35 I don't really sleep... but you _will_ need sleep Sep 09 12:29:52 I doubt I will be able to tonight Sep 09 12:30:24 You should try Sep 09 12:30:41 * MollyK nods a little Sep 09 12:31:07 And I will, once I have packed. *she pauses, watching him* Sep 09 12:31:28 * Morgan nods, getting up Sep 09 12:31:36 Then I'd best leave you to it Sep 09 12:32:22 I hope I do not seem rude. I am... I do not know. My emotions are running high, and you are mine and my children's lifeline, and I am scared I will say or do something that puts us in jeopardy. Sep 09 12:33:13 Understandable Sep 09 12:33:19 But needless Sep 09 12:33:33 * MollyK shrugs Sep 09 12:33:50 I think you underestimate the turmoil I feel. Sep 09 12:34:52 * Morgan frowns Sep 09 12:34:58 I'm sorry, I did not mean to upset you Sep 09 12:36:32 I am not upset. I am... confused. I have been mistreated for so long that the moment I am shown kindness, gentleness, I do not know how to feel, how to regulate the present feelings Sep 09 12:36:52 * MollyK goes to the coat hook, getting his coat down Sep 09 12:37:24 Confused? Sep 09 12:37:32 * MollyK nods Sep 09 12:37:35 Indeed Sep 09 12:37:45 About what? Sep 09 12:39:12 How much of what I feel in this present moment is because I am enduring a fearful situation where I might lose everything, and you are offering a gentle steady hand and level head, and how much is the old attraction I felt to you before I knew how silly it was? Sep 09 12:41:01 * Morgan nods slightly Sep 09 12:41:04 I understand Sep 09 12:41:32 * MollyK nods, opening out his coat for him Sep 09 12:41:58 * Morgan takes it from her before putting it on Sep 09 12:42:19 And so, I will send you on your way, with my gratitude, and my hopes that by the time you arrive in the morning my head will be much clearer Sep 09 12:42:42 * Morgan nods, moving to the door Sep 09 12:42:55 Its almost funny, y'know Sep 09 12:43:07 It is? Sep 09 12:44:12 I made no effort to come and see you because I was rather berating myself for some silliness Sep 09 12:44:26 What silliness? Sep 09 12:44:42 The crush I had on you Sep 09 12:45:26 * MollyK is stood very still, her fingers firmly interlocked in front of her. She blushes, looking puzzled. Her voice is quiet "Is this a jest I do not understand?" Sep 09 12:45:47 You think I would do that to you? Sep 09 12:46:31 No... but I also find it hard to believe _you_ might have had a crush on _me_... Sep 09 12:46:50 I simply speak the truth Sep 09 12:47:16 * MollyK watches him, chewing the corner of her lower lip Sep 09 12:47:24 And it passed with time... Sep 09 12:48:26 Would that make you more at ease? Sep 09 12:49:04 I don't know... it would possibly make it easier to let you walk out of that door... Sep 09 12:49:55 * Morgan sighs Sep 09 12:50:31 I will not take advantage of you like that Sep 09 12:51:34 But if you do not go, right now, it will not be you taking advantage of me, but my taking advantage of your kindness Sep 09 12:52:19 No... it wouldn't... but you would regret it later Sep 09 12:52:56 Would I? Sep 09 12:53:36 The strength of your emotions right now... once you get used to being safe, these high emotions would wane Sep 09 12:55:24 And what if it is not that? What if it is still those feelings I felt the day we shared our secrets, our pain? Sep 09 12:56:37 * Morgan sighs Sep 09 12:57:28 * MollyK watches him Sep 09 12:57:57 And then how could I let you go again? Sep 09 12:58:21 * MollyK looks a little surprised Sep 09 12:59:08 Easily, knowing I and the children will be safe with your friend in Eisen Sep 09 12:59:46 Not easily at all... but you would be safe Sep 09 13:00:03 * MollyK nods Sep 09 13:00:17 That is important Sep 09 13:01:11 * Morgan nods Sep 09 13:02:04 * MollyK watches him "you should go...?" Sep 09 13:02:40 I should Sep 09 13:03:26 * MollyK briefly sucks her lower lip, speaking quieter "are you going...?" Sep 09 13:03:38 Do you wish me to? Sep 09 13:03:53 I don't think I do Sep 09 13:05:20 * Morgan looks torn Sep 09 13:06:34 * MollyK watches this expression. She comes to him, and kisses his cheek. As always, she smells like roses. "Goodnight..." Sep 09 13:07:21 * Morgan kisses her suddenly, passionately Sep 09 13:08:11 * MollyK makes a brief noise of surprise before returning it in just the same way, pressing against him Sep 09 13:09:28 * Morgan does this for a few minutes, clutching at her before breaking away Sep 09 13:10:02 * MollyK breathes hard, her eyes darting across his expression, trying to read it Sep 09 13:10:38 * Morgan searches her face Sep 09 13:11:48 *This time it is her that moves swiftly to kiss him intensely, almost knocking him from his feet* Sep 09 13:12:16 * Morgan lifts her up, still kissing her, setting her down gently in front of the fire Sep 09 13:13:34 * MollyK watches him again, pupils wide, again breathing faster Sep 09 13:15:05 * Morgan gently caresses her face Sep 09 13:16:43 * MollyK flushes more, her skin heating beneath his fingers. She once more sucks her lip Sep 09 13:19:18 This is risky Sep 09 13:19:39 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Sep 09 13:24:36 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Sep 09 13:25:04 [13:04:25] • ​MollyK​ flushes more, her skin heating beneath his fingers. She once more sucks her lip Sep 09 13:26:21 This is risky Sep 09 13:27:37 * MollyK murmurs Sep 09 13:27:40 Is it? Sep 09 13:28:21 Unless your children are extremely heavy sleepers Sep 09 13:28:41 They generally are Sep 09 13:29:50 Wouldn't want to wake them... Sep 09 13:31:39 * MollyK nods, still watching him Sep 09 13:33:11 * Morgan watches her seriously Sep 09 13:33:17 You are sure you wish to continue? Sep 09 13:33:36 * MollyK nods Sep 09 13:33:42 But are you? Sep 09 13:34:13 * Morgan nods slightly Sep 09 13:34:15 I do Sep 09 13:35:21 * MollyK kisses him again deeply before murmuring "I've wanted to kiss you this way for so long..." Sep 09 13:35:52 * Morgan nods, kissing her neck Sep 09 13:35:59 As have I Sep 09 13:36:35 * MollyK moans softly "I've never been kissed there before" Sep 09 13:37:27 * Morgan leans back slightly Sep 09 13:38:25 Then I suspect this evening might hold some revelations for you Sep 09 13:39:24 * MollyK watches him before bringing her mouth to his neck, lips warm and soft on his skin Sep 09 13:40:34 * Morgan moans quietly before pushing her gently away Sep 09 13:40:43 Would you disrobe for me? Sep 09 13:40:58 * MollyK watches him a moment Sep 09 13:41:12 My back... it is really not pretty... Sep 09 13:42:18 Does it hurt? Sep 09 13:43:28 It is a little tender in places, but some of it, where there are older, deeper wounds, is numb to the touch entirely Sep 09 13:44:16 You are not alone with these scars... but, if you will trust me, I intend to kiss every inch of you Sep 09 13:45:38 You would wish to? *she starts undoing her bodice* Sep 09 13:46:10 * Morgan nods, watching her Sep 09 13:46:38 * MollyK watches him "did you want me to stand up for this?" Sep 09 13:47:03 I want you to be comfortable, thats all Sep 09 13:47:30 I have done it before, I am not uncomfortable Sep 09 13:47:51 But not with me... and I meant physically Sep 09 13:51:35 ACTION stands up, locking the front door a moment and removing her shoes before standing in front of him. She undoes her skirt, petticoat that is almost more patches than original fabric, and her bodice. She looks a little shyer once she is just in a shift much shorter than it usually would be, and darned stockings tied with frayed ribbons. "I am Sep 09 13:51:36 sorry, I used to have nicer clothes..." Sep 09 13:53:56 Life has not been as kind to you as you deserved Sep 09 13:55:26 * MollyK shrugs a little "I have two beautiful children... oh, I uhh... I should warn you... I have quite a few marks from that, I am afraid Sep 09 13:55:43 And I shall kiss those also Sep 09 13:55:50 * MollyK undoes her stockings, removing them Sep 09 13:56:16 And I ummm... I still nurse Connie at bed time, so... Sep 09 13:56:51 * Morgan nods Sep 09 13:56:57 You would prefer me to avoid them? Sep 09 13:57:30 * MollyK shakes her head "It's fine, I just did not want to take you be surprise" Sep 09 13:57:36 By* Sep 09 13:57:56 * Morgan nods Sep 09 13:59:33 * MollyK watches him a moment before taking off her shift and throwing it on a chair. She does indeed have shiny white stretch marks on her stomach, and a little onto her hips Sep 09 13:59:47 I will understand if you have changed your mind... Sep 09 13:59:55 * Morgan smiles slightly Sep 09 14:00:05 I was just wondering if I could keep my hands off you any longer Sep 09 14:00:20 * MollyK smiles, blushing Sep 09 14:00:25 Can you? Sep 09 14:00:57 uhhh... no. If you would come to me, I wish to place my mouth upon you Sep 09 14:01:13 You do not need to see my back first? Sep 09 14:01:47 It will not change my mind. Are you sure you are willing for me to see it? Sep 09 14:04:41 * MollyK nods, turning around. The most recent marks from a few weeks ago are very dark red. Beneath that are lines in different darknesses. Where her skin was probably once smooth and pale, she is now a canvas created by a man's anger and frustration, a painting of pain and suffering, the flesh textured and rough. She stands very still. Sep 09 14:05:07 I am sorry... Sep 09 14:05:28 * Morgan stands up, moving to her, wrapping his arms around her Sep 09 14:05:35 You have nothing to be sorry for Sep 09 14:06:02 * MollyK wraps her arms around him "It is ugly, I know." Sep 09 14:06:33 It is abhorrent and cruel... Sep 09 14:07:21 * MollyK bows her head a little, forehead against him "I know" Sep 09 14:08:39 Would you prefer that we just sit together? Sep 09 14:09:15 If that is what you wish. If your ardour has been doused by my body... Sep 09 14:09:48 Quite the opposite... but my desire to make you feel safe is just as strong Sep 09 14:10:13 I do feel safe in your arms, safer than I have ever felt in my life Sep 09 14:10:52 * Morgan kisses her forehead Sep 09 14:11:10 Come, sit, I will hold you in my arms for a time Sep 09 14:11:25 * MollyK lets him lead her Sep 09 14:14:41 * Morgan sits down, pulling her to sit in front of him before leaning her back and wrapping his arms around her Sep 09 14:15:28 * MollyK winces slightly, fidgeting a moment before settling Sep 09 14:16:01 sorry Sep 09 14:16:31 A crease in the fabric, that's all. A few more days and it will be properly healed again... Sep 09 14:17:38 * Morgan nods Sep 09 14:17:57 I remember how it feels Sep 09 14:18:20 *From here he can smell not just rose water, but a faint hint of breast milk, and as she is naked, an indescribable scent of her arousal* Sep 09 14:18:29 What happened to you? Sep 09 14:19:16 * Morgan kisses her shoulder Sep 09 14:20:18 Unsurprisingly I wasn't the most... obedient sailor. I was charged with gross insubordination and whipped with a thin cat o'nine tails as punishment Sep 09 14:21:19 * MollyK winces Sep 09 14:21:28 Oh Morgan, I am sorry Sep 09 14:21:49 * Morgan shrugs Sep 09 14:21:53 It was my own making Sep 09 14:23:03 * MollyK turns her head, kissing his cheek "regardless of the reason, I am sorry for your pain" Sep 09 14:23:43 As I am for yours Sep 09 14:24:54 * MollyK nods, resting back against him more Sep 09 14:25:19 Thank you Sep 09 14:25:36 * Morgan nods, running his hands gently across her clavicle Sep 09 14:26:48 * MollyK shivers, making a little "mmm..." Sep 09 14:28:11 What do you imagine I intend tonight? Sep 09 14:28:39 I have not had time to imagine anything Sep 09 14:29:42 Maybe take a moment to think about what you want... Sep 09 14:30:38 What _do_ you intend? Sep 09 14:31:23 * Morgan smiles slightly, kissing her shoulder again Sep 09 14:32:04 * MollyK tilts her head to make it easier Sep 09 14:32:14 What would you like me to do? Sep 09 14:32:46 I don't know... I've never enjoyed it like this before Sep 09 14:33:40 Then you are in for quite the revelation Sep 09 14:34:11 You did not answer my question... Sep 09 14:34:50 I know... I was rather thinking it would be a pleasant surprise Sep 09 14:35:13 * MollyK nods Sep 09 14:35:41 I trust you with my body... Sep 09 14:36:47 I sense a hesitation... Sep 09 14:38:23 Not at all Sep 09 14:38:56 * Morgan nods, sucking on her skin as he runs his hands down over her breasts Sep 09 14:39:55 * MollyK moans softly. He can feel an uneven firmness in places, on both sides Sep 09 14:42:31 Is this uncomfortable? Sep 09 14:43:38 * MollyK shakes her head "no, a little achy, I suppose. It has been a long time since she has been full enough to not need to nurse from me to stave off the hunger" Sep 09 14:44:00 * Morgan nods Sep 09 14:44:08 Can anything be done to help that? Sep 09 14:45:12 It's not a concern, just that if you put your mouth there you might end up getting more than you expect... Sep 09 14:45:43 * Morgan sounds amused Sep 09 14:45:51 Its one of a few places I intend to put my mouth Sep 09 14:47:29 * MollyK nods Sep 09 14:47:43 I look forward to discovering where else Sep 09 14:48:18 Once you are more relaxed, lie down and I will show you Sep 09 14:49:13 I am relaxed now. A little confused as to how we went from my giving you dinner to my being naked in your arms by the fire! Sep 09 14:50:31 That would be the confessions of a mutual desire I think... though if you are having second thoughts, now is the time to say Sep 09 14:51:41 * MollyK shakes her head Sep 09 14:51:51 I am have no second thoughts at all Sep 09 14:52:06 * Morgan nods Sep 09 14:52:24 Then lie back... if I do anything you do not like, tell me, alright? Sep 09 14:53:59 * MollyK moves, putting the shift on the floor and a pillow for her head before lying down Sep 09 14:55:56 I will Sep 09 14:56:00 * Morgan looks at her for a moment before moving above her, kissing her softly, moving to her cheek, her neck, down onto her clavicle Sep 09 14:57:13 * MollyK gently touches his back, rubbing softly "that feels good" Sep 09 14:57:34 * Morgan nods, moving to the other side, mirroring his movements Sep 09 14:59:28 * MollyK arches a little with a little moan Sep 09 15:00:10 * Morgan makes a sound of appreciation before moving to her breasts Sep 09 15:00:39 Oh, you actually like the noise?! Sep 09 15:00:54 * Morgan nods Sep 09 15:00:57 Of course Sep 09 15:01:06 Its like... encouragement that you are enjoying what I am doing Sep 09 15:01:14 * MollyK sounds very surprised Sep 09 15:01:23 You are sure? Sep 09 15:02:08 * Morgan nods Sep 09 15:02:10 definitely Sep 09 15:03:08 * MollyK nods Sep 09 15:03:30 I am sorry, I'm just not used to it being welcomed Sep 09 15:04:02 * Morgan frowns Sep 09 15:04:15 barbaric Sep 09 15:05:20 Please... let us think happier things? Sep 09 15:06:44 * Morgan nods, going back to circling a nipple with his tongue before suddenly sucking gently on it Sep 09 15:08:49 Oh god... wow... *her back arches a little as she tenses. Then it's not just his own saliva he can taste, but also an unfamiliar sweetness* Sep 09 15:09:27 * Morgan makes a slight sound of surprise but doesn't stop Sep 09 15:10:57 * MollyK shudders beneath him, and there is an increase in the sweetness, a sense of new wetness against his tongue Sep 09 15:11:25 * Morgan moans, carrying on for a good minute, swallowing when necessary Sep 09 15:13:42 * MollyK presses her thighs together firmly, moaning more. Her breast pushes up against his mouth Sep 09 15:14:40 * Morgan pulls away, pulling her nipple with his mouth before letting go Sep 09 15:14:45 Alright? Sep 09 15:15:03 * MollyK nods, breathing hard Sep 09 15:15:15 That's... wow... Sep 09 15:15:36 * Morgan smiles, moving to the other breast, hovering just above it Sep 09 15:16:01 * MollyK watches him Sep 09 15:16:06 Are you alright? Sep 09 15:16:15 * Morgan nods Sep 09 15:16:25 Just letting you recover before I continue... Sep 09 15:16:40 You still want to after that? Sep 09 15:17:14 After hearing the noises you make? Oh, definitely Sep 09 15:17:27 * MollyK blushes, smiling Sep 09 15:17:31 Alright Sep 09 15:17:45 * Morgan repeats his actions on her other breast Sep 09 15:18:43 * MollyK moans repeatedly, pleasure, frustration and relief all mixed together. This breast also streams milk into his mouth Sep 09 15:19:43 * Morgan moves further down, kissing and licking his way across her stomach before moving down one inner thigh to the knee Sep 09 15:23:58 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Sep 09 15:38:48 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Sep 09 15:39:57 * MollyK gasps Sep 09 15:40:07 Oh gosh! Sep 09 15:41:16 * Morgan chuckles, moving across to the same spot on the other leg Sep 09 15:42:20 I cannot express how nice that feels Sep 09 15:42:55 * Morgan nods Sep 09 15:43:07 *moving slowly higher* Sep 09 15:43:17 Then I suspect you're in for something of a shock Sep 09 15:43:42 Uhhh... where are you... umm? Sep 09 15:45:58 * Morgan gets higher, speaking between kisses Sep 09 15:46:01 Where am I what? Sep 09 15:46:26 Where are you... oh god... where are you going? Sep 09 15:46:52 * Morgan suddenly plants his mouth at her sensitive spot, licking it hard Sep 09 15:48:06 * MollyK groans loudly, back arching a little "dear Lord!" Sep 09 15:48:37 * Morgan is relentless in his ministrations Sep 09 15:49:20 * MollyK pants "wait, don't you need to ummm... dry off a little first?" Sep 09 15:49:56 * Morgan moves slightly, looking confused Sep 09 15:50:00 Dry off a little? Sep 09 15:50:12 * MollyK is blushing Sep 09 15:51:47 I am a little... ummm... wetter... than I should be. I will just clean it off for you. I'm sorry. Sep 09 15:52:21 You will stay where you are... that is showing me that you are aroused, that I am pleasing you... why on Theah would I not want that? Sep 09 15:53:29 * MollyK looks puzzled "I... that's what he said. Then he said he wouldn't be doing anything like that because I wasn't dry enough" Sep 09 15:53:42 * Morgan snorts Sep 09 15:53:57 He was a cretin then Sep 09 15:54:10 * Morgan looks at her Sep 09 15:54:14 Does it feel better like this? Sep 09 15:54:34 It feels better that it is you. Sep 09 15:55:26 If you would prefer to dry off, that is your choice. I have no complaints as it is Sep 09 15:56:08 I would only like it to be most pleasing to _you_ Sep 09 15:56:17 Then stay as you are Sep 09 15:56:52 * MollyK nods, resting her head back on the cushion Sep 09 15:57:56 * Morgan plants his mouth back on her, giving her as much pleasure as he can Sep 09 15:58:21 *there is a crying from upstairs, followed by the boy's voice "Mama, Connie wet the bed!" Sep 09 15:59:17 * Morgan stops, pulling her clothes over her Sep 09 16:01:01 * MollyK looks at him with extreme disappointment, quietly muttering "Sorry" before calling to the children that she will be right there Sep 09 16:01:24 * Morgan smiles, wiping his chin Sep 09 16:01:31 Its fine Sep 09 16:03:05 * MollyK pulls her clothes on Sep 09 16:03:20 I hope you will not be left too frustrated Sep 09 16:03:37 I'll manage... do you want me to go? Sep 09 16:04:34 I do not want you to, but... if they find you here this late... Sep 09 16:04:56 * Morgan nods, getting up Sep 09 16:04:59 alright Sep 09 16:05:16 * MollyK stands, looking for her bodice, bare, scarred back to him Sep 09 16:05:35 You will come before first light? Sep 09 16:06:01 * Morgan frowns at it briefly Sep 09 16:06:10 Aye, I'll be here ready to move Sep 09 16:06:46 * MollyK pulls the clothing on in a hurry Sep 09 16:07:10 A very, _very_ reluctant goodnight then Sep 09 16:07:43 * Morgan nods, kissing her quickly before picking up his coat Sep 09 16:07:47 I'll see you all in a few hours Sep 09 16:08:30 If you regret this tomorrow, please remember how good it was, how much I yearned for you in this moment... Sep 09 16:08:39 * MollyK unlocks the door Sep 09 16:08:48 I don't see it being an issue Sep 09 16:09:23 * MollyK kisses his cheek "goodnight..." Sep 09 16:09:51 Goodnight Sep 09 16:11:34 * MollyK locks the door behind him after a final longing glance. The night is very cold outside, and he sees the candlelight move to an upstairs room Sep 09 16:12:02 * Morgan sighs, setting off to head back to Catherines house Sep 09 16:12:58 *there is a single chime, and he wakes him. They've changed position in the night, facing each other. He has a hand on her back, no scarring there* Sep 09 16:13:52 * Morgan sighs, kissing her forehead Sep 09 16:14:47 * MollyK stirs Sep 09 16:14:58 Are you alright? Sep 09 16:15:07 * Morgan nods Sep 09 16:15:08 Aye Sep 09 16:15:16 Nightmare? Sep 09 16:15:26 dream Sep 09 16:15:33 Talk? Sep 09 16:15:52 No, love, later. Sep 09 16:16:26 * MollyK moves closer, still somewhat sleepy "Something else?" Sep 09 16:16:44 Yes, please Sep 09 16:16:57 Magic, or...? Sep 09 16:17:32 Definitely or Sep 09 16:18:10 * MollyK trails her fingers down his body to his manhood Sep 09 16:18:13 This? Sep 09 16:18:35 * Morgan nods Sep 09 16:18:40 please Sep 09 16:19:03 * MollyK starts stroking him "like this?" Sep 09 16:19:51 * Morgan nods Sep 09 16:20:51 * MollyK continues, kissing his neck. The room is completely dark so early Sep 09 16:22:31 * Morgan whimpers quietly, needing release Sep 09 16:23:00 *he hears the door from Varicks room open very quietly. Molly doesn't hear it* Sep 09 16:23:16 * Morgan moves away slightly, whispering Sep 09 16:23:20 Varicks on the move Sep 09 16:24:12 *Molly gently lets go. It's actually Inga who whispers* Molly? Sep 09 16:24:50 * MollyK whispers back "What's wrong? Is Varick alright?" Sep 09 16:25:23 I: Heinzharold had a nightmare. I thought you might do for him what you do for Morgan Sep 09 16:25:39 * Morgan sits up Sep 09 16:25:42 The usual one? Sep 09 16:26:04 I: Sorry, I didn't want to wake you. Yes, but worse. Sep 09 16:26:45 [I'll go... you can stay here...] Sep 09 16:27:00 Its fine, Inga, really Sep 09 16:27:19 [go, I'll go dunk my head in some water. When he's ready to see me let me know] Sep 09 16:27:41 * MollyK gets out of bed, knowing it's dark enough to not be seen naked by her best friend Sep 09 16:27:58 I'll just be a moment Inga Sep 09 16:28:48 *Inga thanks her, going. Molly pulls on a robe* if you're sure you can wait...? Sep 09 16:29:37 I'll manage until I can get my hands on you later... go on, he needs your help Sep 09 16:29:51 * MollyK does go Sep 09 16:31:26 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 09 16:47:02 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Sep 09 17:26:48 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Sep 09 17:44:51 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Sep 09 19:39:38 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Sep 09 20:15:34 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Sep 09 22:07:36 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Sep 09 22:26:24 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Sep 09 22:38:21 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Sep 09 22:42:00 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Sep 09 22:43:44 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Sep 09 22:48:12 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Sep 09 22:49:57 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Sep 09 22:56:21 * MollyK (~igloo@31.185.35.52) has joined Sep 09 22:56:50 [22:33:05] MollyK: **He is left alone in his room. It's less than a minute before his neck prickles, and another before: [Alright, join us, but be aware it might be a little upsetting, if he will tell you] Sep 09 22:57:26 * Morgan pulls his clothes on rapidly, going down to HeinzHarolds room Sep 09 22:58:49 *all three occupants are just in robes. HH has a glass of whiskey. The room is a mess Sep 09 23:01:09 * Morgan looks at Molly and Inga briefly Sep 09 23:01:21 [is it a good idea I be here? I don't want to make it worse] Sep 09 23:02:18 [yes, he's just upset] Sep 09 23:02:24 * MollyK is now known as HH Sep 09 23:02:30 * HH looks drained Sep 09 23:02:37 Hey man, sorry we woke ya Sep 09 23:02:56 * Morgan shakes his head Sep 09 23:03:11 You don't need to worry about that Sep 09 23:03:44 * HH shrugs, taking a mouthful. Molly and Inga start tidying Sep 09 23:04:17 * Morgan moves closer, sitting down near HeinzHarold Sep 09 23:04:26 I don't want to make it worse Sep 09 23:04:44 * HH leans against him shoulder to shoulder Sep 09 23:04:54 What about you, man, bad night? Sep 09 23:05:27 * Morgan puts his arm around him, rocking slightly Sep 09 23:05:50 For a change, not awful Sep 09 23:05:59 * HH nods Sep 09 23:06:35 Been a while since I sleepwalked. Sep 09 23:07:02 * Morgan nods Sep 09 23:07:11 You aint gotta talk about it if you don't want to Sep 09 23:07:32 You're gonna hate it an' feel bad Sep 09 23:08:57 I've been warned I might find it upsetting... but if you need to tell me about it, I'm here Sep 09 23:09:13 * HH sighs, offering him the glass Sep 09 23:09:28 * Morgan takes it Sep 09 23:10:41 Day of the fire. I got there earlier. Still too late, but I got upstairs that lunchtime, didn't have to wait til morning... Sep 09 23:11:56 * Morgan nods Sep 09 23:12:04 * HH waits for the glass back Sep 09 23:12:13 * Morgan sips it before handing it back Sep 09 23:12:23 * HH takes another mouthful Sep 09 23:12:49 ... I could hear a baby crying, somewhere in th' house... Sep 09 23:13:57 * Morgan squeezes his shoulder Sep 09 23:15:06 ...

I just couldn't fuckin' find it... Sep 09 23:15:37 * Morgan nods Sep 09 23:16:54 ... then it just... just stopped. All there was was crackling. Sep 09 23:17:40 * Morgan nods, rocking him gently Sep 09 23:18:00 Sounds dumb now, but it felt so real Sep 09 23:18:39 It doesn't sound dumb at all. Sep 09 23:18:50 * HH shrugs Sep 09 23:18:57 Then Inga slapped me Sep 09 23:19:11 Desperate measures... Sep 09 23:19:19 * HH nods Sep 09 23:19:43 Better'an staying there Sep 09 23:19:52 * Morgan nods Sep 09 23:20:29 Well... you weren't wrong about me feeling bad... Sep 09 23:20:44 * HH nods Sep 09 23:20:57 *Molly looks over* you need me, liebling? Sep 09 23:21:10 I'm alright love Sep 09 23:21:28 I'm sorry man Sep 09 23:22:43 * HH shakes his head Sep 09 23:22:49 Not yer fault Sep 09 23:23:21 No, but my telling you has clearly made a difference.
