**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Sep 21 00:01:09 2022 Sep 21 00:01:09 Alright, my love. Would you like me to hold you a little while longer? Sep 21 00:01:36 I need to get up. I want to see HeinzHarold and Claudia before today gets under way Sep 21 00:01:53 * Molly nods, letting him go Sep 21 00:04:19 * Morgan sighs heavily, getting out of bed and getting dressed Sep 21 00:04:44 * Molly sits up, wrapping her arms around her knees Sep 21 00:04:57 You are sure you do not need me with you? Sep 21 00:06:33 No, I'm not Sep 21 00:06:57 * Molly nods, getting out of bed Sep 21 00:07:35 Goodness, it's so cold here in the mornings! I hope Edward is prepared for a life of nightgowns! Sep 21 00:08:07 * Morgan nods, setting the fire alight Sep 21 00:09:53 Thank you, my love Sep 21 00:10:26 * Morgan nods, pulling his shirt on Sep 21 00:10:38 * Molly pulls on her clothes as quick as she can, and twists her hair up Sep 21 00:10:51 I'll come back to dress for the funerals Sep 21 00:12:47 You don't have to come with me... if you'd rather stop here and get ready, that's alright Sep 21 00:13:21 * Molly shakes her head, frowning Sep 21 00:13:32 I will stay if _you_ prefer. Sep 21 00:14:18 * Morgan stares at the fire, shaking his head Sep 21 00:14:45 * Molly watches him sadly Sep 21 00:15:05 Then I shall just follow you around like a little puppy, my love Sep 21 00:16:16 * Morgan looks hurt but says nothing Sep 21 00:17:37 * Molly comes to him Sep 21 00:17:51 Talk to me, I have hurt you? Sep 21 00:19:23 It made it sound like I don't care Sep 21 00:20:19 No, my love. Think of it as a descriptor of my dedication to you and enthusiasm to be at your side Sep 21 00:20:41 * Morgan nods slightly Sep 21 00:21:26 * Molly pulls more clothes on, wrapping up warm Sep 21 00:21:32 Where are we to go first Sep 21 00:22:43 Claudia Sep 21 00:23:18 * Molly nods, putting on boots Sep 21 00:23:25 Alright, I am ready Sep 21 00:24:31 * Morgan nods heading out of the room looking for Claudia Sep 21 00:25:18 * Molly walks beside him. They have to venture out into the cold dark to find her, in the gazebo as usual, training alone Sep 21 00:25:37 Would you like me to hang back so you can talk in private? Sep 21 00:25:42 * Morgan nods Sep 21 00:27:28 * Morgan strides over to Claudia Sep 21 00:27:58 * Molly is now known as Claudia Sep 21 00:28:07 I won't fight you unarmed Sep 21 00:28:36 * Morgan frowns Sep 21 00:29:02 * Claudia sheathes her sword Sep 21 00:29:11 There, now we're equal Sep 21 00:29:57 I... I need you to do something for me Sep 21 00:30:11 Sure, what? Sep 21 00:30:27 I need... I need you to let me hug you... will you do that? Sep 21 00:30:46 * Claudia nods Sep 21 00:30:57 Yeah Sep 21 00:31:30 * Morgan moves closer, hugging her tightly, speaking quietly Sep 21 00:31:44 I can't... I couldn't do this without you Sep 21 00:32:09 * Claudia hugs him back Sep 21 00:32:49 What's wrong? Is Heinzharold alright? Sep 21 00:34:00 Haven't seen him yet. Just dreams, but they linger Sep 21 00:34:06 * Morgan lets her go, stepping back Sep 21 00:35:10 * Claudia watches him Sep 21 00:35:20 One of your warnings again? Sep 21 00:36:27 No, nothing like that. Another path. I'm not ready to talk about it yet Sep 21 00:37:03 * Claudia nods Sep 21 00:37:22 You came all the way down here for a hug? Sep 21 00:37:40 * Morgan nods Sep 21 00:37:59 Not training today? Sep 21 00:38:20 No. Need to catch HeinzHarold then start preparing for the funerals Sep 21 00:38:43 * Claudia nods Sep 21 00:38:50 Go on then Sep 21 00:39:28 * Morgan nods, watching her for a moment before saying 'I love you' and turning to go find HeinzHarold Sep 21 00:40:21 * Claudia shouts after him "Morgan?" Sep 21 00:40:31 * Morgan stops, looking back Sep 21 00:40:40 Same. Sep 21 00:40:51 * Morgan nods, resuming his walk Sep 21 00:41:09 * Claudia is now known as Molly Sep 21 00:41:15 * Molly rejoins him Sep 21 00:42:31 Indoors? Sep 21 00:42:50 * Morgan nods Sep 21 00:42:55 He's probably in the kitchen Sep 21 00:43:59 * Molly nods, offering her hand Sep 21 00:44:32 * Morgan takes it Sep 21 00:44:51 * Molly still hasn't remembered gloves, her hands cold Sep 21 00:45:14 Soon as we've seen him, we're going back to our room so you can get warm Sep 21 00:45:22 * Molly smiles Sep 21 00:45:37 You know what they say, my love... cold hands, warm heart. Sep 21 00:45:45 * Morgan nods Sep 21 00:47:12 * Molly waits near the fire in the kitchen, giving Morgan privacy. HH can be heard singing about peaches and cream whilst rooting around in Edward's large pantry Sep 21 00:47:23 * Molly is now known as HH Sep 21 00:47:48 * Morgan watches him for a moment Sep 21 00:48:27 Hey man Sep 21 00:48:35 * HH looks relaxed, examining jars, occassionally sticking bits in his mouth Sep 21 00:50:55 * HH is muffled Sep 21 00:51:12 Mor-ig Sep 21 00:51:24 * Morgan looks distinctly unsure of himself Sep 21 00:52:24 * HH looks him over "y'wan'me'spit'out?" Sep 21 00:53:01 * Morgan shakes his head before moving and hugging him hard Sep 21 00:54:21 * HH hugs him back, hand on the back of his neck. He swallows before saying "wassup, man?" Sep 21 00:55:03 * Morgan backs up, putting a hand to HeinzHarolds neck Sep 21 00:55:25 Just dreams but... your Da would be _so_ proud of you... you're the best of men Sep 21 00:56:08 Awww man... *he sniffs a little* yer gonna set me off cryin' Sep 21 00:56:22 * Morgan hugs him again Sep 21 00:56:31 I love you man Sep 21 00:56:42 * HH hugs him too Sep 21 00:56:50 I love you too Sep 21 00:56:59 * Morgan nods, letting him go Sep 21 00:57:05 Claudia's at the gazebo Sep 21 00:58:23 Right? Sep 21 00:59:49 Probably wondering what the hell is wrong with me. Could use your company I expect Sep 21 01:00:12 * HH nods Sep 21 01:00:20 You gon' be alright? Sep 21 01:00:25 * Morgan nods Sep 21 01:00:27 probly Sep 21 01:01:09 Where's that wife o' yers? Sep 21 01:01:49 Hoverin' outside waiting for me Sep 21 01:02:30 Good girl. Sep 21 01:03:42 * Morgan nods, moving toward the door Sep 21 01:04:01 Let her baby you, always works f' me Sep 21 01:04:31 * Morgan nods Sep 21 01:04:36 See you in a while Sep 21 01:05:06 * HH nods, taking a big handful of raisins as he goes Sep 21 01:05:54 * Morgan goes back to Molly Sep 21 01:10:40 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 21 01:23:35 * HH has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Sep 21 08:15:33 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Sep 21 09:06:32 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 21 13:37:26 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Sep 21 13:50:58 * Morgan has quit (Quit: Leaving) Sep 21 18:21:38 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Sep 21 18:29:16 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Sep 21 18:30:25 You gon' be alright? Sep 21 18:30:25 * Morgan nods Sep 21 18:30:25 probly Sep 21 18:30:25 Where's that wife o' yers? Sep 21 18:30:25 Hoverin' outside waiting for me Sep 21 18:30:27 Good girl. Sep 21 18:30:29 * Morgan nods, moving toward the door Sep 21 18:30:31 Let her baby you, always works f' me Sep 21 18:30:34 * Morgan nods Sep 21 18:30:36 See you in a while Sep 21 18:30:38 * HH nods, taking a big handful of raisins as he goes Sep 21 18:30:40 * Morgan goes back to Molly Sep 21 18:31:09 * MollyK has coffee for them Sep 21 18:31:21 Where next, my love? Sep 21 18:31:33 * Morgan shrugs Sep 21 18:37:07 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Sep 21 18:45:53 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Sep 21 18:46:00 [18:30:26] MollyK: Do you need to see Edward? Sep 21 18:46:20 He has enough on his plate Sep 21 18:48:49 I am sure he would want to help Sep 21 18:53:51 I'm sure he would Sep 21 18:54:50 * MollyK nods, handing him to cup Sep 21 18:55:00 * Morgan takes it, sipping it Sep 21 18:55:36 I need to get properly dressed, and then I will go to help Mina dress. Do you wish to come? Sep 21 18:55:46 * Morgan nods Sep 21 18:57:29 * MollyK heads upstairs Sep 21 18:57:39 Do you feel better having spoken to them? Sep 21 18:58:10 A little Sep 21 18:58:23 * MollyK smiles gently Sep 21 18:58:35 I will take any improvement, my love Sep 21 18:58:48 * Morgan nods Sep 21 18:59:15 Do you need to sit out the funerals Sep 21 18:59:21 ? Sep 21 18:59:51 * Morgan looks really torn Sep 21 19:00:08 Shit,I need to tell you... Joseff requested Dietlinde's favourite hymn Sep 21 19:00:22 * MollyK frowns slightly Sep 21 19:00:29 I see. Sep 21 19:00:40 * Morgan nods Sep 21 19:00:52 Edward has suggested I step out... Sep 21 19:00:59 I wonder if it would be best if you stay here with Varick Sep 21 19:05:42 * Morgan sighs Sep 21 19:05:49 I don't like feeling like a liability Sep 21 19:06:41 No, but you will not like feeling like you have disrupted it or taken attention from it also Sep 21 19:06:58 Then... I need to talk to him Sep 21 19:07:09 Varick? Sep 21 19:07:26 Edward. If I am not to be there to support him and Mina, he should be told why Sep 21 19:07:45 * MollyK nods Sep 21 19:07:58 Should I come with you? Sep 21 19:08:06 * Morgan shakes his head Sep 21 19:08:17 If I am to abandon them, I will not keep you from helping them Sep 21 19:08:33 * MollyK looks at him Sep 21 19:08:56 Please, do not be so unkind to the man I love so greatly Sep 21 19:09:45 I'm _trying_ Sep 21 19:09:53 * MollyK nods Sep 21 19:10:11 You are not abandoning them. Sep 21 19:10:26 It feels like that Sep 21 19:10:36 * MollyK shakes her head Sep 21 19:11:00 You are letting them channel their energies into the day instead Sep 21 19:12:30 How will it look to the people... Sep 21 19:13:06 Like you have a duty to look after your son who buried his birth father only two years ago. Sep 21 19:13:23 * Morgan sighs, nodding Sep 21 19:13:53 * MollyK nods, climbing the stairs Sep 21 19:14:26 Could you let Mina know I will be along shortly? I will let Inga and Varick know what is going to happen Sep 21 19:15:11 * Morgan nods Sep 21 19:15:14 Alright, I will Sep 21 19:15:35 * MollyK kisses his cheek Sep 21 19:16:02 I'll see you soon Sep 21 19:16:10 * Morgan nods Sep 21 19:18:52 * MollyK goes one way down the hall, Edward's the other Sep 21 19:19:16 * Morgan draws himself up, heading to find Edward Sep 21 19:19:41 * MollyK is now known as Edward Sep 21 19:19:55 * Edward calls for him to come in Sep 21 19:20:04 * Morgan does so Sep 21 19:20:54 *He is straightening his doublet. He looks smart, but the black outfit is much like in the dream* Sep 21 19:21:01 Good morning, Morgan. Sep 21 19:21:07 Edward Sep 21 19:21:40 *Mina must be in the dressing room, there's no one else in the parlour* Sep 21 19:22:10 * Edward looks in the mirror, rubbing his hand up his cheek Sep 21 19:22:19 I am thinking of growing a beard Sep 21 19:22:34 Short... Sep 21 19:22:54 To start with *he smiles a little* Sep 21 19:23:50 I uhhh... I need to talk to you Sep 21 19:25:16 * Edward gestures to a chair Sep 21 19:25:26 What's on your mind, brother? Sep 21 19:26:24 * Morgan sits down, gathering his thoughts Sep 21 19:26:35 I don't think I am able to attend today Sep 21 19:26:49 * Edward looks surprised Sep 21 19:26:52 Oh? Sep 21 19:27:08 * Morgan breathes out slowly Sep 21 19:27:23 You recall I sometimes have dreams where I see how things could have been? Sep 21 19:27:31 * Edward nods Sep 21 19:27:34 I do Sep 21 19:28:01 I had one. I woke and all I could do was cry. I would be a liability to you today Sep 21 19:28:22 * Edward nods slowly Sep 21 19:28:30 Alright. Sep 21 19:28:41 * Morgan speaks very very quietly Sep 21 19:28:44 I'm so very sorry Sep 21 19:29:03 It is fine, brother. Take the time you need. Sep 21 19:29:16 * Morgan nods, looking miserable Sep 21 19:29:39 I assume I am the last person in the world you want to discuss this with. Sep 21 19:30:02 Quite the opposite, actually, but I would not burden you with it... especially not today Sep 21 19:30:29 I have about twenty minutes whilst Mina is dressed and made up Sep 21 19:31:07 Molly will be along to help in a minute. Sep 21 19:31:17 * Edward smiles a little Sep 21 19:31:22 Fifteen then. Sep 21 19:32:32 * Morgan watches his brother, looking like he wants to tell him Sep 21 19:33:16 * Edward waits patiently Sep 21 19:33:33 * Morgan takes a deep breath, exhaling slowly before speaking Sep 21 19:34:03 One of the ways it could have gone... I got them out of the fire, but I was killed by a falling beam. I think I have told you that before... Sep 21 19:34:16 * Edward nods Sep 21 19:34:19 You have Sep 21 19:36:01 Jana had had twins, called them HeinzHarold and Morgan... HeinzHarold and Dietlinde had eventually married, and I assumed they had passed away. Turns out I was wrong. Sep 21 19:36:09 * Morgan pauses, obviously trying what to say next Sep 21 19:36:35 _Heinzharold_ married your widow? Sep 21 19:37:12 They liked eachother before Dietlinde and I met... and they bonded in their grief of losing me Sep 21 19:38:10 * Edward nods, taking this in "I was unaware of that" Sep 21 19:38:23 * Morgan nods slightly Sep 21 19:39:03 Jana was giving birth, Dietlinde was there... Jana could see me Sep 21 19:40:09 * Edward nods slowly again Sep 21 19:40:14 Alright. Sep 21 19:40:39 * Morgan takes a deep breath, swallowing hard Sep 21 19:42:05 It was too much... managed to get a couple of words to them. HeinzHarold spoke to me, even though he couldn't see me. *he looks up at his brother* its too raw. Sep 21 19:43:48 But it hasn't happened, brother. Sep 21 19:46:02 I know. God I know. But it would have, if I'd gotten in. And its like... seeing how they would have turned out without me. *he looks at his brother for a moment before looking away* Sep 21 19:46:57 It sounds like they would have lived their lives Sep 21 19:47:32 * Morgan nods before making a noise of frustration Sep 21 19:48:23 * Edward watches him Sep 21 19:48:36 You did not want that? Sep 21 19:49:15 Of course I did! I'm trying to explain how seeing it has affected me and I'm doing a piss poor job of helping you understand Sep 21 19:50:31 * Edward nods Sep 21 19:50:37 Yes you are. Sep 21 19:51:21 It feels like I lost them again Sep 21 19:52:13 * Edward nods Sep 21 19:52:40 I appreciate that being difficult Sep 21 19:53:02 Its not like waking from a dream. Its real, utterly real. Sep 21 19:54:21 * Edward nods Sep 21 19:54:53 And you want to stay home today. I understand. Sep 21 19:55:29 I don't _want_ to. Molly thinks it would be best, and I would hate to distract from the solemnity of today. Sep 21 19:56:27 I trust Molly's judgement. She does not have the challenge of dealing with your pride as you do Sep 21 19:57:22 * Morgan looks hurt, but nods Sep 21 19:58:11 I would prefer you stay here if that will be less painful for you. I have caused enough harm as it is, Sep 21 20:00:30 Edward, and I mean this with the greatest of respect and love... its not about you. We have dealt with your actions and their consequences a hundred times over. This... this comes from somewhere else, and I _beg_ of you, to not hold yourself accountable for it. Sep 21 20:01:35 * Edward 's jaw ripples "Then what is it you want me to do?" Sep 21 20:05:03 I want you to forgive me for not having the strength today. I want you to not be angry for what I just said. I want you to understand that I have come to you to tell you because I love and respect you, and want you to understand how _awful_ I feel that I am not able to support you as I wish to. I want you to understand that my desire to stand at your side is so strong, but my fear of distracting from the ceremony, of taking some of your focus, is stronger. Sep 21 20:06:04 I do forgive you, Morgan. You are suffering, and I would not add to that. Sep 21 20:07:43 * Morgan nods, tears rolling down his cheeks Sep 21 20:07:56 I'm so _sorry_ Edward Sep 21 20:08:45 * Edward motions for him to stand up Sep 21 20:09:05 * Morgan does so , moving towards the door Sep 21 20:09:23 * Edward catches hold of him and hugs him tightly Sep 21 20:09:58 * Morgan leans into him Sep 21 20:11:17 We will manage fine, Morgan. I appreciate that this matters to you, but I am here for Mina, and Father, Mother, and Molly will support us. Sep 21 20:12:40 * Morgan nods Sep 21 20:12:44 I know you will Sep 21 20:13:05 Then stop worrying Sep 21 20:13:29 I'll try Sep 21 20:14:19 * Edward nods, letting him go Sep 21 20:14:56 Do I need to leave Molly with you. Sep 21 20:14:58 ? Sep 21 20:15:48 No, I would not take that support from Mina. I'm going to spend the day with Varick... its going to be hard for him too Sep 21 20:16:08 * Edward nods Sep 21 20:17:41 That is sensible Sep 21 20:18:40 * Morgan nods Sep 21 20:19:12 If anyone asks, I am staying with him as it was only recently his own father was buried Sep 21 20:19:19 * Edward nods Sep 21 20:19:43 The townsfolk saw you do your duty yesterday, no one will judge that Sep 21 20:22:28 * Morgan nods Sep 21 20:25:37 * Edward nods Sep 21 20:26:05 What about the service here for the family? You will need to miss that too? Sep 21 20:27:24 I... I don't know yet. I'm really hoping that I will have... improved by then Sep 21 20:29:29 * Edward nods Sep 21 20:30:06 I hope so, for your sake Sep 21 20:31:03 What will you tell father? Sep 21 20:31:30 That you are staying behind to look after Varick Sep 21 20:31:51 You will lie to him to cover for me again Sep 21 20:32:06 Will you be looking after Varick? Sep 21 20:33:59 well... yes Sep 21 20:34:26 Then it is not a lie Sep 21 20:34:38 * Morgan sighs Sep 21 20:34:43 You're spending too much time with me Sep 21 20:35:59 * Edward smiles a little Sep 21 20:36:11 I wouldn't say too much Sep 21 20:36:38 .me straightens Sep 21 20:36:44 I saw you in my dream Sep 21 20:37:47 *he frowns* did you? Sep 21 20:37:56 * Morgan nods Sep 21 20:38:42 Came to see your niece's daughter. I learned something about you Sep 21 20:39:30 * Edward nods, but his expression is tight Sep 21 20:39:34 What? Sep 21 20:40:36 You _really_ need to get some practice holding babies. Sep 21 20:41:00 * Edward shrugs Sep 21 20:41:24 I have not been around them. The last I held was Varick seven years ago Sep 21 20:41:38 * Morgan nods Sep 21 20:42:00 I hope you get some practice in before holding my children. Sep 21 20:43:55 That depends which of our wives is increasing first Sep 21 20:44:44 I imagine it'll be Mina... the herbs Molly was taking will take time to leave her system. I hope Mina will catch pregnant before long Sep 21 20:44:54 * Edward smiles Sep 21 20:45:26 As do I. It will give her something to be excited for for the future Sep 21 20:46:29 * Morgan nods Sep 21 20:46:46 The two of you could do with some good news, some happiness Sep 21 20:47:17 We have each other, and that brings us great happiness even in adversity Sep 21 20:47:53 * Morgan nods Sep 21 20:48:11 But to have someone to vomit on you even without getting drunk... thats something else entirely Sep 21 20:48:21 What? Sep 21 20:51:35 * Morgan looks at him solemnly Sep 21 20:51:49 Children change you, fundamentally. But I'll be damned if I can explain how Sep 21 20:52:34 I thought you were talking about morning sickness Sep 21 20:53:56 Oh no, I was talking about babies. There's no warning, everything is going swimmingly and then you've been vomited on Sep 21 20:54:04 * Edward nods Sep 21 20:54:24 I will make a point of visiting Jarvie's baby Sep 21 20:54:45 * Morgan nods Sep 21 20:55:05 It comes more naturally when its your own, too. I look forward to you feeling that Sep 21 20:55:20 * Edward nods Sep 21 20:55:38 As do I, and for you to have that again Sep 21 20:55:52 * Morgan nods Sep 21 20:55:56 Not so long now Sep 21 20:57:10 * Edward nods Sep 21 20:57:38 Perhaps that is what to focus on, brother, your happy future with Molly and your children Sep 21 20:58:05 * Morgan nods Sep 21 20:58:08 I'm going to try Sep 21 20:58:19 * Edward nods, smiling Sep 21 20:59:06 If there are specific names you would like Mina and I not to use, let us know. We would ask that you do not use Joseff or Maria, Sep 21 20:59:27 * Morgan nods Sep 21 20:59:42 Specifically Madchen. We intend to honour Jana and Dietlinde somehow, too Sep 21 21:00:44 *He watches Morgan* That is a bold choice, Molly knows of that? Sep 21 21:01:05 She suggested it, but I had been considering it Sep 21 21:01:24 * Edward nods slowly Sep 21 21:01:34 I am... sorry if that causes you pain. We need to move on Sep 21 21:02:02 I would not keep you from using their names Sep 21 21:02:42 I imagine it will be middle names, but... I would wish you to be prepared Sep 21 21:03:32 It would be very unusual to use them as first names. Sep 21 21:03:43 * Morgan smiles slightly, pointing at his own face Sep 21 21:03:48 Unusual Sep 21 21:04:37 Hearing Mother or Molly call those names would not be uncomfortable? Sep 21 21:05:10 I've no idea. I am just... covering all eventualities Sep 21 21:07:18 * Edward nods Sep 21 21:07:59 There is time to decide. Sep 21 21:08:14 I expect I will have the middle name of one of my boys after you... Tomas Dickhead Koertig... has a ring to it Sep 21 21:08:18 * Morgan smiles slightly Sep 21 21:09:10 * Edward watches him Sep 21 21:10:11 I was actually thinking of using your name as the middle for our second son Sep 21 21:10:28 * Morgan suddenly looks serious Sep 21 21:10:52 I would be honoured, if it would not bring you or Mina pain Sep 21 21:11:18 Of course not Sep 21 21:16:15 * Edward has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Sep 21 22:13:36 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 21 22:22:52 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Sep 21 22:35:19 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Sep 21 22:35:26 * MollyK has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Sep 21 22:35:28 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Sep 21 22:35:46 [20:59:18] Edward: Of course not Sep 21 22:36:14 It is something the two of you have discussed? Sep 21 22:36:25 * MollyK is now known as Edward Sep 21 22:36:30 Indeed we have Sep 21 22:36:46 * Morgan nods Sep 21 22:37:28 Believe it or not, we had discussed it not long after we met Sep 21 22:38:02 But that was... before Sep 21 22:38:25 Before you married, yes Sep 21 22:39:29 * Morgan nods Sep 21 22:39:56 After that we discussed children very rarely Sep 21 22:40:37 * Morgan nods, looking sad Sep 21 22:41:33 Our time apart means we take each other for granted far less, and we are both well aware of how enduring our love is Sep 21 22:42:34 * Morgan nods Sep 21 22:42:42 I will always be sorry, you know that? Sep 21 22:44:18 You have paid heavily for it, as have I. Sep 21 22:45:51 * Morgan nods Sep 21 22:48:38 In the end, we are not where we expected to be, but that doesn't mean here is not good too Sep 21 22:50:11 No, it doesn't. Aside from mornings like this, I am happy, genuinely happy. I still find I tread a little carefully around you but only because I am weary of damaging what we have built together Sep 21 22:52:06 You need to move on from that, brother. We are bound to annoy or hurt each other at times, that is how brothers are. But for me a line has been drawn where we are not going back. Sep 21 22:52:55 * Morgan looks genuinely pleased Sep 21 22:53:31 I think occasionally we hurt eachother simply through the way we say things Sep 21 22:53:39 * Edward nods Sep 21 22:53:51 I am blunt at times Sep 21 22:54:15 At... times... Sep 21 22:55:06 * Edward smiles Sep 21 22:55:43 Frequently, then. Sep 21 22:58:10 * Morgan nods Sep 21 22:58:27 You have a tell when I have annoyed or hurt you... Sep 21 22:58:34 What? Sep 21 22:58:54 The muscle in your jaw ripples... Sep 21 22:59:02 Does it? Sep 21 22:59:30 * Morgan nods Sep 21 23:01:16 * Edward nods Sep 21 23:02:41 You don't, so far as I've noticed Sep 21 23:03:19 Wouldn't be much of a spy if I did... though I am trying to be more... open with you... Sep 21 23:03:28 * Edward nods Sep 21 23:03:56 But you are afraid that a wrong remark will see us estranged again? Sep 21 23:05:29 Not estranged... I think we have come too far, are too strong for that... but a distance between us, I would _hate_ Sep 21 23:05:58 I have no intention of that happening Sep 21 23:07:17 Nor I Sep 21 23:08:25 Then let us go forward with that in mind Sep 21 23:09:08 * Morgan nods Sep 21 23:10:44 * Edward hugs him again Sep 21 23:13:09 I am sure Molly would knock our heads together Sep 21 23:15:16 * Morgan nods, hugging him back Sep 21 23:16:38 I should let you finish getting ready Sep 21 23:17:13 *there's a knock on the door. Edward lets him go* Come in Sep 21 23:18:01 *Molly comes in. She looks smart, hair and make up all done* Sep 21 23:18:43 * Edward looks at her "Very nice, Molly" Sep 21 23:19:12 *she blushes* Thank you, Edward. I am here to help Mina Sep 21 23:24:02 * Edward nods, looking at them "I'll go in and let her know you're here" Sep 21 23:24:23 * Edward leaves the two of them alone Sep 21 23:24:33 * Edward is now known as Molly Sep 21 23:24:51 * Molly looks at Morgan Sep 21 23:25:37 How are you faring, my darling? Sep 21 23:26:10 * Morgan nods Sep 21 23:26:14 Better than I was Sep 21 23:27:12 * Molly smiles Sep 21 23:27:33 Good. Is there anything I can do for you? Sep 21 23:29:04 Probably, but not that I can think of right now Sep 21 23:29:35 * Molly smiles "a hug then?" Sep 21 23:29:51 * Morgan nods Sep 21 23:30:09 * Molly wraps her arms around him Sep 21 23:30:54 Varick and Inga know what is to happen, I've also spoken to your Father Sep 21 23:31:21 What did you tell him? Sep 21 23:37:35 The truth, and then I was a little more meandering with your Father Sep 21 23:38:41 I meant with father. I am not hiding anything from HeinzHarold. Sep 21 23:39:53 That you are staying here with Varick, and that we anticipate it could be a hard day Sep 21 23:40:13 * Morgan nods Sep 21 23:40:22 Edward intended to tell father I was looking after Varick Sep 21 23:41:12 You are Sep 21 23:42:11 Technically speaking, yes Sep 21 23:42:18 * Molly nods Sep 21 23:43:15 Well then. Technically is all we need Sep 21 23:44:52 * Morgan nods Sep 21 23:45:44 * Molly squeezes him a moment Sep 21 23:46:00 Will you keep working on the den? Sep 21 23:46:10 See what Varick wants to do, but I imagine so Sep 21 23:46:25 * Molly nods, looking up at him Sep 21 23:46:35 You will be alright without me? Sep 21 23:46:59 I'll be alright _for_ you Sep 21 23:48:09 * Molly kisses his cheek Sep 21 23:49:42 I want you to be alright, because I love you Sep 21 23:50:40 I will be, in time Sep 21 23:51:45 * Molly watches him, frowning a little Sep 21 23:52:00 It was really, very awful then Sep 21 23:52:28 Stupidly, no. But it was too much Sep 21 23:52:36 You remember it at all? Sep 21 23:52:46 No Sep 21 23:53:06 later... I will show and tell you everything Sep 21 23:53:19 I've told Edward some of it... perhaps he has time to tell you Sep 21 23:53:42 I do not want to hear it from him, so I shall wait. Sep 21 23:53:49 * Morgan nods Sep 21 23:53:50 Alright Sep 21 23:55:24 * Molly kisses him again when Edward calls her through. Morgan is left alone Sep 21 23:57:05 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
