Morgan is left alone Sep 22 09:25:30 * Morgan leaves the room quietly, heading for Varicks room Sep 22 09:26:18 * MollyK is now known as Varick Sep 22 09:27:37 * Varick is reading to Inga Sep 22 09:28:08 * Morgan sits down quietly Sep 22 09:30:30 * Varick moves to sit on Morgan's lap, hugging him Sep 22 09:30:45 Mama said you might need extra cuddles today Sep 22 09:31:23 * Morgan nods, cuddling him Sep 22 09:32:48 It okay Papa, I am here now Sep 22 09:33:36 * Morgan nods, speaking quietly Sep 22 09:33:40 What are you reading? Sep 22 09:35:36 A book about an ugly duckling Sep 22 09:35:55 * Morgan nods Sep 22 09:36:01 Would you read it to me? Sep 22 09:38:22 Okay Papa, but I don't know how it ends, so it might be sad, okay? Sep 22 09:38:44 Alright Varick. Its ok, we'll find out together Sep 22 09:38:44 *Inga watches them whilst putting on her shoes* Sep 22 09:39:09 * Varick says goodbye to Inga before starting the story Sep 22 09:39:59 * Morgan inclines his head to Inga, smiling slightly Sep 22 09:41:54 * Varick starts reading. When he gets to the end, he seems surprised by it Sep 22 09:42:05 So he wasn't a duck after all! Sep 22 09:42:15 Who'd have thought Sep 22 09:42:35 [My love, we're going now. We'll be back just before lunchtime] Sep 22 09:42:42 Not me, Papa! Sep 22 09:44:03 [Alright blossom] Sep 22 09:44:27 We should get you some breakfast Sep 22 09:45:32 Can I have chocolate cake? Sep 22 09:46:32 Trying your luck a little are we? Sep 22 09:47:58 But Papa, if you're sad we need cake Sep 22 09:48:33 Lets see what they have in the kitchen shall we? Sep 22 09:51:39 * Varick gets up. He holds Morgan's hand all the way. The house is very quiet, most staff would have gone for the funeral Sep 22 09:52:07 * Morgan sits Varick on a countertop before rummaging through the pantry Sep 22 09:53:30 *there's no chocolate cake, but there are the ingredients there Sep 22 09:54:09 * Morgan pulls out the ingredients, laying them out on the countertop Sep 22 09:55:22 * Varick looks at him Sep 22 09:55:30 Do you know how to make a cake?! Sep 22 09:56:01 * Morgan nods Sep 22 09:56:06 And I'd like to teach you Sep 22 09:57:26 Oh, Mama already taught me Sep 22 09:58:33 Of course. Shall we make one together then? Sep 22 09:58:56 * Varick nods Sep 22 09:59:10 I thought maybe you didn't know, Papa, and I would teach you Sep 22 10:00:48 Well... I don't know how mama does it. I don't normally make chocolate cake, its too sweet Sep 22 10:01:30 Mama showed me how to make the one you like, just in case she wasn't here to make it Sep 22 10:02:40 * Morgan nods, frowning slightly Sep 22 10:02:44 Do you want to make that? Sep 22 10:04:07 * Varick nods Sep 22 10:04:26 We baked a lot when you were gone and we we lived in the cottage Sep 22 10:04:43 * Varick starts weighing with the little weights Sep 22 10:05:54 * Morgan wanders into the pantry, coming back out with jam and another mixing bowl Sep 22 10:05:57 Did you? Sep 22 10:07:00 * Varick nods Sep 22 10:07:12 I learnt to be more like a normal boy there Sep 22 10:08:01 * Morgan nods, pouring ingredients into the bowl Sep 22 10:08:06 And what did you think of that? Sep 22 10:09:50 I liked being able to play with other children Sep 22 10:10:49 * Morgan nods Sep 22 10:11:08 You remember you wanted a coat like Jacques and Rikkon... Sep 22 10:11:41 * Varick nods Sep 22 10:12:20 We had coats like yours sent to them, so the three of you have the same ones Sep 22 10:13:17 * Varick looks pleased Sep 22 10:13:25 They have good coats now? Sep 22 10:14:01 * Morgan nods Sep 22 10:14:12 As a present from you Sep 22 10:14:53 Thank you Papa! I wish I could see my friends Sep 22 10:16:34 * Morgan nods Sep 22 10:16:44 I know. Maybe we can arrange for you to speak to Jacques? Sep 22 10:17:01 * Varick nods eagerly Sep 22 10:17:06 Yes please Sep 22 10:17:51 * Morgan nods Sep 22 10:17:55 See what we can do Sep 22 10:19:34 * Varick starts mixing Sep 22 10:19:45 When can I talk to Florrie again? Sep 22 10:20:33 Soon, I think Sep 22 10:20:42 You miss her? Sep 22 10:21:12 * Varick nods Sep 22 10:21:22 I wish she lived with us Sep 22 10:21:41 One day you'll have little boys and girls to help look after Sep 22 10:22:14 * Varick sighs Sep 22 10:22:22 But that's so long away Sep 22 10:23:45 I know, it feels like its too long Sep 22 10:24:57 * Varick nods Sep 22 10:26:10 It is a very long time. Maybe Auntie Jarvie would let us have her baby? Sep 22 10:27:30 I think she's quite keen on keeping it now... and uncle Grendlik has wanted a baby for as long as he can remember, so it wouldn't be very fair to him would it Sep 22 10:28:04 * Varick sighs Sep 22 10:28:22 Who else might give us a baby? Sep 22 10:30:39 Its not _really_ the sort of thing people give away Sep 22 10:30:52 * Varick nods Sep 22 10:31:04 What about a kitten? Sep 22 10:31:58 We've talked about that, haven't we Sep 22 10:32:20 * Varick nods Sep 22 10:32:27 Yes Papa Sep 22 10:35:17 * Morgan nods, mixing Sep 22 10:35:35 I thought while these cook we could have a look at your den Sep 22 10:35:39 * Varick is doing a good but slightly messy job Sep 22 10:35:50 * Varick nods Sep 22 10:36:15 Can we leave it up for next time we visit? Sep 22 10:37:50 Have to ask Uncle Edward, its his house now Sep 22 10:38:13 * Varick nods Sep 22 10:38:34 It's very big Sep 22 10:39:35 * Morgan nods Sep 22 10:39:37 It is Sep 22 10:39:50 It has a lake Sep 22 10:39:59 * Morgan nods Sep 22 10:40:03 Very cold though Sep 22 10:40:09 * Varick nods Sep 22 10:40:24 Hafenlohr has a lake, Sudlachenburg has a lake Sep 22 10:41:28 * Morgan nods, watching him a moment Sep 22 10:41:33 yes... Sep 22 10:42:32 I don't have a lake Sep 22 10:43:43 In Koln? Sep 22 10:44:00 * Varick nods Sep 22 10:44:54 No, I suppose there isn't one Sep 22 10:45:50 * Varick nods Sep 22 10:46:08 Okay, I am ready to bake. What are you making? Sep 22 10:46:43 Just... a sponge cake Sep 22 10:47:35 That will be nice Papa. When did you learn to bake? Sep 22 10:49:08 When I was married to Dietlinde. She taught me things like this. Sep 22 10:49:24 Did she make good cake? Sep 22 10:51:03 * Morgan nods Sep 22 10:51:22 And jams, too. Sep 22 10:51:47 I never made jam before. What jam did she make? Sep 22 10:53:05 Strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant... all those sorts of jams Sep 22 10:53:38 What else did she do? Sep 22 10:54:23 Sewed quite a lot... its what she did before we got married, she was a seamstress Sep 22 10:54:48 What did you do? Sep 22 10:55:08 When? Sep 22 10:55:55 When she sewed Sep 22 10:56:55 When we were married, or before? Sep 22 10:57:01 Either Sep 22 10:57:36 I used to watch her sew... she taught me some of that too... I used to read to her, sometimes sing to her. Sep 22 10:57:49 That sounds nice, Papa Sep 22 10:58:05 * Morgan nods Sep 22 10:58:06 It was Sep 22 10:59:26 Now we cook it Sep 22 10:59:59 * Morgan nods, getting the ovens ready Sep 22 11:00:24 * Varick puts them in Sep 22 11:00:46 Okay Papa, now we can go. *the kitchen is a bit messy* Sep 22 11:01:06 What do we do when we make a mess? Sep 22 11:01:32 Let the servants or Mama clean it? Sep 22 11:01:39 * Morgan frowns at him Sep 22 11:01:43 You know thats not right Sep 22 11:01:53 But that's what we always do Sep 22 11:02:21 We shouldn't. And today they will all be sad, so I think the nicest thing to do would be to clean up, don't you? Sep 22 11:02:51 * Varick sighs Sep 22 11:02:57 Oh, okay, Papa Sep 22 11:03:25 I'll wash the bowls while you sweep? Sep 22 11:03:38 * Varick nods, getting the broom Sep 22 11:05:55 * Morgan cleans the surfaces before washing the dishes they used Sep 22 11:06:34 * Varick does a passable job, then waits for Morgan Sep 22 11:10:16 * Varick has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Sep 22 12:08:14 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 22 14:57:46 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Sep 22 15:05:54 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Sep 22 15:08:59 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Sep 22 18:13:14 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 22 18:14:14 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Sep 22 18:38:03 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Sep 22 18:40:27 *They ask the servants to watch the cakes and go out to build the den, working hard. Varick seems to enjoy it. After a few hours there's the ringing of the church bells in the village* Sep 22 18:40:33 * MollyK is now known as Varick Sep 22 18:41:02 * Morgan sighs Sep 22 18:41:09 Probably a little while before they're back Sep 22 18:41:20 Do you miss Mama? Sep 22 18:41:31 * Morgan nods Sep 22 18:41:43 I always miss her when we're apart... like I miss you when I'm not with you Sep 22 18:43:28 I miss you too, Papa. But you're not going away are you? Sep 22 18:43:48 I certainly have no plans to Sep 22 18:46:07 You won't leave us in Atemlos this time? Sep 22 18:47:45 No. If I have a choice, I'm not leaving you again Sep 22 18:49:09 * Varick nods Sep 22 18:49:46 Okay, Papa. Not even for your wedding anniversary? I heard Mama and Inga saying you were Sep 22 18:51:05 Thats a little different... I think maybe me and mama will spend an evening just the two of us ,what do you think? Sep 22 18:51:40 They said you were going to the golden lanter Sep 22 18:51:54 Oh did they Sep 22 18:52:01 * Varick nods Sep 22 18:52:23 They were giggling. A lot. I didn't understand why Sep 22 18:52:55 Its a girl thing, I think Sep 22 18:53:09 I don't understand girls Sep 22 18:54:01 That doesn't change much as you get older Sep 22 18:54:33 * Varick nods Sep 22 18:55:01 Maybe I will just have a wolf wife and a cat wife, and not a human wife Sep 22 18:55:54 But... I would like grandchildren Sep 22 18:56:24 But you will have lots of children to make babies, Papa Sep 22 18:56:40 I know Sep 22 19:00:12 How many grandchildren do you want? Sep 22 19:02:39 Hundreds! Sep 22 19:03:53 You would forget all their names! Sep 22 19:04:41 * Morgan shakes his head Sep 22 19:05:12 I would call them all 'my boy' or 'my girl', that'd take care of that Sep 22 19:06:07 That's cheating! Sep 22 19:06:57 Its tactics Sep 22 19:08:50 I will be the oldest, so you have to learn my children's names properly Sep 22 19:09:06 * Morgan looks at him Sep 22 19:09:30 Every child you, and all my other children have, their names will be etched upon my soul. Sep 22 19:10:45 It would probably by easier to keep them in your brain Sep 22 19:11:08 * Morgan laughs, but nods Sep 22 19:11:11 Yes, it would Sep 22 19:12:07 Will you and Mama still be here to see my children? Sep 22 19:12:22 I certainly hope so Sep 22 19:12:42 My Daddy will see them from heaven Sep 22 19:12:50 * Morgan nods Sep 22 19:12:52 aye Sep 22 19:13:42 When will Auntie Mina have a baby? Sep 22 19:13:52 At least nine months from now Sep 22 19:14:26 Does Uncle Edward know you have to play leapfrog? Sep 22 19:14:35 * Morgan nods Sep 22 19:14:44 He knows all about it Sep 22 19:15:10 I thought we might have to tell him Sep 22 19:15:43 Maybe we will before we go, just to be on the safe side... Sep 22 19:16:25 Is that The Birds And The Bees talk, Papa? Sep 22 19:16:43 similar Sep 22 19:17:33 You said we needed to have that too Sep 22 19:17:44 * Morgan nods Sep 22 19:17:47 aye Sep 22 19:18:01 When I am older? Sep 22 19:18:24 * Morgan nods Sep 22 19:18:28 Not yet Sep 22 19:18:49 Okay, but you will tell me before I am a man? Sep 22 19:19:55 * Morgan nods Sep 22 19:19:58 Absolutely I will Sep 22 19:20:20 * Varick nods Sep 22 19:20:39 How old were you when you had it with grandpa? Sep 22 19:24:19 * Varick has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Sep 22 19:24:46 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Sep 22 19:25:09 [19:08:41] Varick: How old were you when you had it with grandpa? Sep 22 19:25:13 Ah, well... he had _a_ talk with me when I was about ten or eleven Sep 22 19:25:19 * MollyK is now known as Varick Sep 22 19:25:34 About the bees? Sep 22 19:27:03 Thats just what people call it... its not really about the birds or the bees Sep 22 19:28:37 Why do they say that then? Sep 22 19:29:13 I've got no idea Sep 22 19:30:09 What is it really about? Sep 22 19:31:34 Boy and girl things Sep 22 19:32:34 Will you tell me when I am ten, or when Mama has a baby? Sep 22 19:33:06 We'll see as we go along I think Sep 22 19:33:18 * Varick nods Sep 22 19:33:24 Okay, Papa Sep 22 19:37:00 * Morgan smiles Sep 22 19:37:02 Good lad Sep 22 19:40:02 * Varick puts on some more sticks Sep 22 19:40:19 I want a sister first. Who decides which we get? Sep 22 19:40:31 Theus Sep 22 19:40:53 If I pray very hard, I might get a sister? Sep 22 19:41:03 Maybe... who knows Sep 22 19:41:15 Which do you want? Sep 22 19:41:51 Thats a very tough question. I'd love to have a boy first, but at the same time... maybe we'll have twins, one of each Sep 22 19:42:22 Two babies! That would be fun! We could race them Sep 22 19:45:10 * Morgan blinks a couple of times Sep 22 19:45:22 uhhh... I suspect mama would have something to say about that Sep 22 19:46:50 We wouldn't tell her, Papa! Sep 22 19:47:16 I'm not sure thats a good thing to do Sep 22 19:47:45 If she asks, we couldn't lie, but if she doesn't, we don't tell Sep 22 19:48:10 Wouldn't be very exciting though, babies are quite slow Sep 22 19:48:29 * Varick sighs Sep 22 19:48:58 When they are bigger I will be a grown up Sep 22 19:49:19 Well... a bit grown up, yes Sep 22 19:50:46 I will still help you though Sep 22 19:51:20 I know... you're a kind, good boy Sep 22 19:51:51 * Varick smiles Sep 22 19:52:32 Will Inga and Heinzharold live with us? Sep 22 19:52:54 They're planning to have a house in the grounds of Haefenlor Sep 22 19:53:29 They will help us with our babies Sep 22 19:53:37 They'll be having babies of their own Sep 22 19:55:35 Then we can race lots of babies! Sep 22 19:55:58 Put little saddles on them, put dolls on as riders... Sep 22 19:56:20 * Varick looks excited Sep 22 19:56:23 Can we? Sep 22 19:56:38 Best not... if mama caught us, we'd be for it Sep 22 19:57:14 * Varick sighs Sep 22 19:57:41 The babies could sleep in my room with me Sep 22 19:58:08 There's plenty of rooms so you don't need to share Sep 22 19:58:40 Where will they sleep? Sep 22 20:00:29 In a crib Sep 22 20:02:13 Oh okay Sep 22 20:05:13 I don't actually know if it has a nursery Sep 22 20:06:29 We can make one, Papa. It has to be a big room with a bedroom for a nursery nurse and a wet nurse Sep 22 20:07:25 Don't know about a wet nurse Sep 22 20:09:14 But the babies need to eat, Papa! Sep 22 20:09:19 * Varick looks concerned Sep 22 20:09:25 Yes, and mama will feed them Sep 22 20:09:44 But then who will look after me? Sep 22 20:10:40 We'll all look after eachother, won't we? Sep 22 20:11:44 * Varick nods Sep 22 20:13:32 * Varick spends time on the den until it starts snowing a bit too heavier and they have to retreat indoors. By then it is almost lunch, and the others return. Sep 22 20:13:56 * Morgan takes Varick to check on the cakes Sep 22 20:16:06 *The servants have taken them out to cool, and they're making lunch* Sep 22 20:16:14 Our cakes are done! Sep 22 20:16:20 * Morgan nods Sep 22 20:16:33 Maybe we can have them served after lunch... Sep 22 20:16:49 That would make everyone happy Sep 22 20:16:56 I hope so Sep 22 20:17:04 Where is Mama? Sep 22 20:17:14 Lets go find her shall we? Sep 22 20:18:23 * Varick nods, going with him. Molly is found drinking a glass of brandy in the drawing room with Verity and Jarvie Sep 22 20:19:18 * Morgan watches her gravely Sep 22 20:19:22 Are you alright? Sep 22 20:20:10 *Varick goes straight to sit on her lap on the couch* Mama! Papa wants us to have two babies, and you can feed the babies! Sep 22 20:20:38 *Molly blushes* I... uhh... hello Varick. Sep 22 20:21:11 *Verity smiles, standing* Shall we give you a minute, dear boy? Sep 22 20:21:22 uhhh.... Yes, please mother Sep 22 20:22:40 *Verity goes, and Jarvie smirks at Morgan on the way out* Sep 22 20:23:08 * Morgan rolls his eyes Sep 22 20:25:20 * Varick is now known as Molly Sep 22 20:25:32 Have you been enjoying yourselves? Sep 22 20:27:08 Been working on the den, talking about babies... Sep 22 20:27:26 Oh? What about them? Sep 22 20:27:42 * Molly sips the brandy, cuddling Varick Sep 22 20:27:52 Varick's going to explain about playing leapfrog to uncle Edward before we leave, so they can have babies... Sep 22 20:28:20 * Molly 's brows raise Sep 22 20:28:25 Is he? Sep 22 20:28:40 Well, if he wants children... Sep 22 20:29:03 He already has a child though Sep 22 20:29:22 That is a good point... but better safe than sorry Sep 22 20:29:31 V: Florrie was an accident, Mama, he must not know what he is doing! Sep 22 20:29:48 * Molly bits her lip "mmhmm" Sep 22 20:30:18 * Morgan smiles, looking away for a moment Sep 22 20:30:22 How is everyone? Sep 22 20:31:48 Sad, but the service was beautiful, and all the townsfolk were there Sep 22 20:33:05 * Morgan nods Sep 22 20:33:10 Edward and Mina? Sep 22 20:33:45 Yes, they were at the front *she pulls a face at Varick that makes him laugh* Sep 22 20:33:57 [you know what I mean] Sep 22 20:34:18 [I do, but sometimes levity is important] Sep 22 20:34:43 * Morgan nods slightly Sep 22 20:34:45 They did well. Sep 22 20:35:22 * Morgan nods Sep 22 20:35:23 Good Sep 22 20:37:54 V: I will wait to tell him about how to make babies til tomorrow Sep 22 20:38:06 Thats a good idea Sep 22 20:44:04 *the bell rings for lunch, and Varick is off at speed before Molly has even had chance to finish her drink. She smiles* someone's hungry Sep 22 20:44:25 Someone is looking forward to dessert Sep 22 20:44:40 * Molly smiles Sep 22 20:44:51 You do mean Varick, yes? Sep 22 20:45:22 * Morgan nods Sep 22 20:45:46 I missed you Sep 22 20:45:54 And I you Sep 22 20:46:11 * Molly stands, brushing off her skirt Sep 22 20:46:19 How are you now? Sep 22 20:46:27 * Morgan sighs Sep 22 20:46:30 I'm alright I think Sep 22 20:47:07 You sigh at that? Sep 22 20:47:24 I sigh that I have been a burden today Sep 22 20:47:34 * Molly shakes her head Sep 22 20:47:43 You have never been a burden to me Sep 22 20:48:23 * Morgan nods slightly Sep 22 20:50:25 I have worried about you, but only because I care about you Sep 22 20:50:51 * Morgan nods Sep 22 20:50:54 aye Sep 22 20:52:22 Edward got through the hymn fine Sep 22 20:52:30 * Morgan nods Sep 22 20:52:31 Good Sep 22 20:54:56 * Molly comes to take his hand "is there anything you need?" Sep 22 20:55:46 Lunch? Sep 22 20:56:52 * Molly nods, kissing his knuckles Sep 22 20:57:32 The family service will begin after quiet hour, you and Varick can find something to do? Sep 22 20:59:45 No... no I will attend Sep 22 21:00:02 * Molly watches him Sep 22 21:00:27 Are you sure? You need not, my love. Sep 22 21:01:33 * Morgan nods Sep 22 21:01:35 I am sure Sep 22 21:02:04 Do you wish to tell me what has caused so much distress? Sep 22 21:02:58 After lunch. I've not eaten yet Sep 22 21:04:17 * Molly nods, holding his hand as they go that way. Everyone is at the table, it's a little quiet but even Mina looks alright presently Sep 22 21:08:42 HH: $how you doing?$ Sep 22 21:08:51 $I'm alright$ Sep 22 21:09:19 HH: $looked after your girl for you $ Sep 22 21:10:00 * Morgan flinches but nods Sep 22 21:12:17 HH: $whats up$ Sep 22 21:13:00 $Long story. I'm alright$ Sep 22 21:13:43 HH $okay, man$ Sep 22 21:14:56 * Morgan eats his lunch quietly Sep 22 21:16:29 * Molly presses her leg to his beneath the table reassuringly Sep 22 21:17:39 * Morgan smiles slightly before glancing furtively at his father Sep 22 21:18:20 *Adalbrecht is looking fairly relaxed* Sep 22 21:19:48 * Morgan goes back to eating his lunch Sep 22 21:20:07 [what has Mina been told?] Sep 22 21:20:41 [That you were staying with Varick] Sep 22 21:20:59 [I see. Alright] Sep 22 21:21:53 [is that alright?] Sep 22 21:22:34 [aye] Sep 22 21:23:31 /me nods slightly Sep 22 21:26:15 *there's not much chat at the table, and Mina excuses herself once everyone has finished eating. Edward arches Morgan as the others move through for coffee in the drawing room* Sep 22 21:26:22 Catches* Sep 22 21:26:52 * Morgan looks at him seriously Sep 22 21:27:55 * Molly is now known as Edward Sep 22 21:28:06 How are you, brother? Sep 22 21:28:12 I'm alright Sep 22 21:28:18 How are you, Mina? Sep 22 21:28:42 * Edward nods Sep 22 21:29:29 I am fine. Mina is upset, but she is handling the public duty marvellously, as one would expect with her Sep 22 21:29:48 * Morgan watches him for a moment before nodding Sep 22 21:30:53 What, brother? Sep 22 21:31:54 It doesn't matter really. I was worried about her, about her hiding the grief even from herself but... I don't need to worry about that, I know you're taking care of her Sep 22 21:32:35 You do not need to worry, she is grieving in an appropriate quantity privately Sep 22 21:38:04 * Morgan nods Sep 22 21:38:33 I have faith in you, in your helping her. You won't let her withdraw and allow her grief to... fester Sep 22 21:39:34 Absolutely not. Mina knows that her Father is at peace and that any more time would only have been hard on him Sep 22 21:40:50 * Morgan nods Sep 22 21:43:48 If there is nothing you need, I will go up and see her Sep 22 21:44:15 * Morgan shakes his head Sep 22 21:44:19 Go, be with your wife Sep 22 21:44:39 * Edward nods, doing so Sep 22 21:45:24 * Morgan straightens, heading into the drawing room Sep 22 21:46:26 *The chatter here is more relaxed, Christopher playing the piano with Verity Sep 22 21:47:42 Can I offer anyone some cake? Sep 22 21:48:30 * Edward is now known as Molly Sep 22 21:48:54 * Molly and the others are all keen on the idea, and Varick helps him bring it in Sep 22 21:49:20 Ver: How Good they are to make cake with everything going on! Sep 22 21:49:50 * Morgan cuts it into a number of pieces before dishing it out Sep 22 21:51:42 *everyone praises the cake, Varick looking very proud Sep 22 21:53:06 * Morgan hands a piece of chocolate cake to Varick Sep 22 21:53:11 I think... that means we did well... Sep 22 21:53:35 Ver: you made this? Sep 22 21:54:30 ummm... I made _that_ one, Varick made the chocolate one Sep 22 21:55:03 *verity tells them how clever they are* Sep 22 21:55:39 * Morgan smiles, rubbing Varicks head Sep 22 21:56:44 *Varick grins* Mama taught me. This is the chocolate cake Papa likes, but he made one Dietlinde taught him, with Jam Sep 22 21:57:27 *There are a few slightly surprised glances exchanged between the others* Sep 22 21:57:38 * Morgan sips his coffee Sep 22 21:57:58 If it helps any of you with your view of me, I looked very manly mixing the cake Sep 22 21:58:47 Ver: I am sure you did, dear boy Sep 22 21:59:20 It's very nice, liebes herz, thank you Sep 22 21:59:54 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Sep 22 22:02:07 *The cake is consumed, and Varick starts yawning Sep 22 22:02:47 *Grendlik looks at the boy with a smile* Been out adventuring? That always makes me sleepy Sep 22 22:03:17 *Varick nods* We've built a den, and talked about babies Sep 22 22:03:38 * Molly glances at Morgan, sipping her coffee Sep 22 22:04:07 [I am not sure how he and Jarvie managed to play leapfrog in your Father's carriage] Sep 22 22:04:20 [I beg your pardon?] Sep 22 22:04:31 * Molly smiles innocently Sep 22 22:04:43 We were saying how if we have twins, we can put little saddles on them and dolls and race them... Sep 22 22:05:14 *Verity looks surprised* Dear boy, I am not sure they would like that Sep 22 22:05:43 I suggested it might be a bit on the slow side Sep 22 22:06:04 *this makes them laugh* Sep 22 22:06:29 Ver: You were a very fast crawler, it was hard to keep you still Sep 22 22:07:36 Keen to get on a ship, I imagine Sep 22 22:09:14 Ver: You were always trying to get somewhere Sep 22 22:09:33 * Molly looks at Varick then Morgan Sep 22 22:09:44 I'll take him up for his nap Sep 22 22:09:51 * Morgan nods Sep 22 22:09:57 Alright my love. I'll be up soon Sep 22 22:10:04 * Molly nods Sep 22 22:10:12 *they go* Sep 22 22:10:19 * Molly is now known as Adalbrecht Sep 22 22:11:08 * Adalbrecht looks at the clock "Almost quiet hour already." Sep 22 22:11:15 * Morgan nods Sep 22 22:12:35 *HH and Inga look keen to make an early start on it, and Jarvie and Grendlik go at the same time. Christopher suggests a bachelors game of cards. Claudia makes herself scarce* Sep 22 22:13:23 * Morgan watches his father for a moment Sep 22 22:13:28 I will be joining you this afternoon Sep 22 22:14:40 * Adalbrecht nods Sep 22 22:15:55 Are you bringing Varick? Sep 22 22:16:07 I'll see how he feels. Sep 22 22:17:40 * Adalbrecht nods Sep 22 22:17:58 We do not want him upset Sep 22 22:18:06 No, definitely not Sep 22 22:19:21 V: I am going to get my knitting things. I'll see you in an hour, dear boy Sep 22 22:19:29 * Morgan nods Sep 22 22:19:31 Yes mother Sep 22 22:19:43 * Adalbrecht watches her go Sep 22 22:19:51 How has he been this morning? Sep 22 22:20:35 He's been good. I had nightmares, so he is concentrating on taking care of me... Sep 22 22:21:00 * Adalbrecht sighs Sep 22 22:21:28 These nightmares are not getting any better,are they? Sep 22 22:22:01 It is what it is. A lot of the time now I get dreams that are... emotional, rather than nightmares Sep 22 22:22:11 Is that better? Sep 22 22:22:21 * Morgan nods Sep 22 22:22:49 Yes. Feelings may linger but there's no... terror. Sep 22 22:23:50 * Adalbrecht nods Sep 22 22:24:36 I often dream situations where I am embarrassed, but rarely where I am afraid Sep 22 22:25:02 Then you understand why the dreams I get are better than nightmares Sep 22 22:27:32 When you have dreamt that you are holding a tenants' meeting and realise you are completely nude, ask me again. Sep 22 22:28:39 * Morgan shrugs Sep 22 22:28:53 I have no concerns about myself... Sep 22 22:31:14 Nor do I, but I do not want to show it to all of Sudlachenburg. Sep 22 22:31:50 * Morgan nods Sep 22 22:32:03 I want your advice, later or, probably, tomorrow Sep 22 22:33:16 Do you urgently need to join your wife? Sep 22 22:33:43 There is something we need to discuss... do you have need of me? Sep 22 22:35:27 No, but if you wanted to talk I have time Sep 22 22:36:03 Its not time critical... I want some advice with Varick... today is difficult, spend the time you can with mother Sep 22 22:37:02 * Adalbrecht nods Sep 22 22:37:34 Alright, my son. Enjoy your time together Sep 22 22:38:18 * Morgan inclines his head, leaving the room and heading up to his bedroom Sep 22 22:39:36 * Adalbrecht is now known as Molly Sep 22 22:39:57 * Molly is taking off her boots Sep 22 22:40:21 You needn't stay, my love, if you wanted time to yourself Sep 22 22:40:50 * Morgan shakes his head Sep 22 22:40:57 I said I'd tell you after lunch... Sep 22 22:42:08 * Molly nods, sitting propped up on the bed with pillows Sep 22 22:42:12 Alright Sep 22 22:43:24 * Morgan pulls off his boots, sitting on the bed, cross legged before taking a deep breath and explaining the dream to her Sep 22 22:43:45 * Molly nods as he's talking, looking solemn Sep 22 22:43:58 I am sorry, that sounds difficult Sep 22 22:44:03 * Morgan nods Sep 22 22:44:35 Seeing Dietlinde was... really very difficult. Being able to communicate with Jana, what HeinzHarold said... it was heartbreaking Sep 22 22:44:49 * Molly nods Sep 22 22:45:33 Perhaps wake yourself up if you end up in those dreams, spare yourself this Sep 22 22:45:56 But if it contains something we need to know... Sep 22 22:46:26 It is so very far from where we are, it would be almost impossible for there to be anything useful Sep 22 22:46:57 * Morgan shrugs Sep 22 22:47:55 Are you feeling jealous? Sep 22 22:48:11 Surprisingly, no Sep 22 22:48:57 That is a change? Last time Seb and I brought up some feelings for you about the possibility of he and I in the future Sep 22 22:49:46 Oh... of you and he... uhhh, It is less than it was... I'm still more concerned that we keep you well away from him at the time of the draw Sep 22 22:50:41 You meant Dietlinde and Heinzharold? Sep 22 22:50:45 * Morgan nods Sep 22 22:51:35 I would have expected quite a lot of jealousy there Sep 22 22:51:49 * Morgan nods Sep 22 22:52:11 It wasn't... comfortable, but there was no jealousy Sep 22 22:52:49 That is most perplexing. It does sound like he treated them well though Sep 22 22:53:08 Of course he did... he's HeinzHarold Sep 22 22:54:40 His flirting was no better though? *she smiles* Sep 22 22:55:52 I can't say I saw any Sep 22 22:58:22 I worry if you keep going into those dreams you will see something you like even less Sep 22 22:58:38 * Morgan nods Sep 22 22:58:46 So do I Sep 22 22:59:22 Perhaps it would be better to wake? Sep 22 22:59:29 maybe Sep 22 23:01:41 Is that the first time you have seen her knowing it is a dream? Sep 22 23:02:29 Dietlinde? Sep 22 23:02:33 Yes Sep 22 23:02:40 * Morgan nods Sep 22 23:02:44 Bit more than a dream though, isn't it Sep 22 23:09:21 * Molly has quit (Ping Timeout) Sep 22 23:13:49 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
