**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Sep 30 00:00:11 2022 Sep 30 00:00:11 Besides, Alice would end up being surplus to requirements here Sep 30 00:02:16 And that would not be fair... and Mina would spend her time wondering if he'd prefer her with him... Sep 30 00:02:45 * Claudia nods Sep 30 00:03:25 What are you going to do, have them all at Hafenlohr so you can keep things under control? Sep 30 00:04:16 Probably the best option I'd say. Neutral ground for them, and I can throw my weight around if needs be Sep 30 00:04:39 Not that it'd stop you, being elsewhere Sep 30 00:05:11 No, thats true... but it works better if its my house Sep 30 00:05:27 * Claudia nods Sep 30 00:05:59 Heinzharold says he and Inga are going to have a little house there Sep 30 00:06:51 * Morgan nods Sep 30 00:07:01 gonn' be a place for you too Sep 30 00:07:47 * Claudia nods Sep 30 00:08:04 I don't know if I'll ever really settle Sep 30 00:08:36 I know. But there'll always be a permanent place for you, a... home port, if you will Sep 30 00:09:05 * Claudia nods Sep 30 00:09:24 Nothing flashy. Just simple Sep 30 00:09:47 * Morgan nods Sep 30 00:10:07 Trust us, we're not going to put you in some flowery little cottage Sep 30 00:10:25 Good. Sep 30 00:11:36 Bedroom, kitchen, armoury Sep 30 00:12:01 * Claudia nods Sep 30 00:12:08 Sounds about right Sep 30 00:12:31 * Morgan nods Sep 30 00:12:35 Like I said... trust us. Sep 30 00:12:57 Probably gonna be starting on it in the summer? Sep 30 00:13:12 * Morgan nods Sep 30 00:13:31 Reckon so, depends how long HeinzHarolds home takes to build Sep 30 00:13:48 * Claudia nods Sep 30 00:14:06 I'll still be back and forth trading with Capperlucia Sep 30 00:15:36 How you feeling about that? Sep 30 00:16:06 Bit weird. It's like this year we've all been pulled back together, and next year we're all getting split up again Sep 30 00:17:21 Not entirely sure I'm happy about that Sep 30 00:17:44 * Claudia nods Sep 30 00:18:34 Your uncle in Catterick, Parents in Sudlachenburg, Jarvie in Freiburg, Edward in Graben, me on the ships. You'll have Heinzharold though Sep 30 00:19:08 * Morgan nods Sep 30 00:19:52 Need to get Jacques to make a lot more mirrors Sep 30 00:20:02 * Claudia nods Sep 30 00:20:37 Could do with leaving one in Capperlucia Sep 30 00:20:46 * Morgan nods Sep 30 00:21:15 Providing the monk is typical of his people, aye... don't want to be freaking them out if he's the exception Sep 30 00:21:25 * Claudia nods Sep 30 00:21:45 You'll still go a second time? Sep 30 00:22:09 As long as its feasible Sep 30 00:22:31 * Claudia nods Sep 30 00:22:47 We would get a few months together then Sep 30 00:22:59 * Morgan nods Sep 30 00:23:19 Those mornings hanging from the rigging talking... I value those Sep 30 00:24:02 * Claudia nods Sep 30 00:24:33 Me too. After that you'll probably be buried in nappies and nursery rhymes Sep 30 00:24:51 * Morgan nods Sep 30 00:24:56 Fingers crossed Sep 30 00:25:52 The pair of you are really broody. Yuck. Sep 30 00:27:02 * Morgan shrugs, sipping his flask Sep 30 00:28:08 Three months ago you were both normal. I blame it on the newborn babies Sep 30 00:29:44 I'm not broody... I'm... ready to start growing my family again Sep 30 00:30:47 What's the difference? Sep 30 00:31:38 Let you know when I figure that out Sep 30 00:32:12 * Claudia nods Sep 30 00:32:23 Maybe because broody sounds womanly Sep 30 00:33:48 Not something that normally bothers me, though Sep 30 00:36:00 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 30 00:37:38 * Claudia has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Sep 30 09:19:50 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Sep 30 11:00:17 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 30 13:04:13 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Sep 30 14:00:37 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 30 15:08:53 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Sep 30 15:17:39 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 30 16:25:32 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Sep 30 18:36:33 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 30 21:18:44 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Sep 30 21:20:24 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Sep 30 21:20:39 * MollyK is now known as Claudia Sep 30 21:20:47 Sounding womanly? Sep 30 21:22:11 * Morgan nods Sep 30 21:22:54 But being broody does? Sep 30 21:24:14 I just... don't think I'm broody Sep 30 21:27:03 I've never understood what broodiness feels like anyway Sep 30 21:28:27 * Morgan nods Sep 30 21:28:36 That doesn't come as a big surprise I'm afraid Sep 30 21:29:54 * Claudia nods Sep 30 21:30:02 Never understood the appeal Sep 30 21:30:39 * Morgan nods Sep 30 21:34:48 * Claudia looks around, the snow getting heavier Sep 30 21:35:02 You need a minute to yourself out here? Sep 30 21:35:17 * Morgan looks down at the grave Sep 30 21:35:24 No... no lets get inside Sep 30 21:36:34 * Claudia nods, walking through the snow Sep 30 21:36:58 * Morgan trudges through it, looking around as he walks Sep 30 21:37:07 It's going to be a big shock getting to hot sunny beaches in less than two months Sep 30 21:38:12 * Morgan nods Sep 30 21:38:19 Not built for that sort of heat Sep 30 21:39:03 Never been somewhere that hot. Sep 30 21:39:41 No... or so socially different Sep 30 21:40:48 * Claudia smiles Sep 30 21:40:56 I'm looking forward to that bit Sep 30 21:41:20 Thought you might be Sep 30 21:42:38 Be interesting to see what their world is like Sep 30 21:43:32 My father is somewhat baffled by the idea Sep 30 21:44:26 * Claudia nods Sep 30 21:44:34 Hard to imagine it here Sep 30 21:45:03 * Morgan shrugs Sep 30 21:45:28 I reckon half the nobility are guided by their wives anyway Sep 30 21:46:28 Reckon? Sep 30 21:46:44 * Morgan nods Sep 30 21:47:42 Women are smarter anyway Sep 30 21:48:24 * Morgan sniffs loudly Sep 30 21:49:39 * Claudia shrugs, letting him indoors Sep 30 21:49:51 What are you doing the rest of the day? Sep 30 21:52:34 Uhh... I need to check on Edward and Mina, ask my father for some advice... gotta tell HeinzHarold about my dream, put his mind at rest Sep 30 21:53:02 Advice from your Father? Sep 30 21:53:27 * Morgan nods Sep 30 21:54:32 Think its nearing the time where Varick needs to be helped to understand about sex... he's already got this idea from Molly's nephews about how babies are made Sep 30 21:55:31 * Claudia nods Sep 30 21:55:36 Good luck with that! Sep 30 21:55:41 * Morgan nods Sep 30 21:55:45 Gonn' need it Sep 30 21:59:12 *He finds Edward and Mina in the drawing room with the others, there's coffee and tea, as well as cake. Verity is knitting, the others seem to mostly be chatting in small groups* Sep 30 22:00:09 * Morgan sits down near Edward, looking at him and Mina Sep 30 22:01:00 * Claudia is now known as Edward Sep 30 22:01:43 * Edward inclines his head. Mina is right up against Edward's side, his arm along the back of the couch Sep 30 22:02:08 * Morgan nods his head slightly Sep 30 22:03:44 Everything alright, brother? Sep 30 22:04:06 I was coming to ask you the same thing Sep 30 22:09:25 * Edward glances at Mina a moment before looking back Sep 30 22:09:47 We are alright. Grateful to be surrounded by family and friends at this time Sep 30 22:10:22 * Morgan nods, watching Mina a moment Sep 30 22:11:43 *Mina gives Morgan a little smile* Sep 30 22:14:41 * Morgan smiles slightly Sep 30 22:17:22 M: Are you well, Morgan? Sep 30 22:17:50 * Morgan nods Sep 30 22:18:07 My concern right now is helping the two of you any way I can Sep 30 22:19:24 M: You are all helping by sharing our home and filling it with talk and joy Sep 30 22:21:47 * Morgan nods Sep 30 22:21:53 That is our honour Sep 30 22:22:54 * Edward smiles Sep 30 22:24:24 *There is a gentle knock on the door. Edward, now the master of the house, calls for them to come in, and Baelor the overseer comes in* I wondered if I might have a moment of His Excellency's time? Sep 30 22:24:44 * Morgan glances at Edward Sep 30 22:24:48 If you'll excuse me? Sep 30 22:25:52 * Edward nods Sep 30 22:25:55 Of course Sep 30 22:26:15 * Morgan nods, standing and moving to accompany Baelor Sep 30 22:26:25 * Edward is now known as Baelor Sep 30 22:26:40 * Baelor heads to the library, opening the door for Morgan Sep 30 22:27:36 * Morgan inclines his head, going inside Sep 30 22:27:41 Whats on your mind Baelor? Sep 30 22:29:04 I was to make myself known to your Excellency . I am One Five Two. Sep 30 22:30:05 * Morgan nods, sitting and pointing to a chair Sep 30 22:30:30 That leaves me something of a quandary... Sep 30 22:31:29 * Baelor sits Sep 30 22:31:36 Why, your Excellency? Sep 30 22:32:06 An agent of the order at my brothers right hand... Sep 30 22:33:27 * Baelor nods Sep 30 22:33:48 I have been here for more than twenty years Sep 30 22:35:22 * Morgan nods slightly Sep 30 22:35:27 What do you know of him? Sep 30 22:36:16 Everything that I need to to keep a watch over Graben Sep 30 22:37:36 * Morgan sighs, nodding slightly Sep 30 22:38:14 You will work with him... he wishes to make Eisen a better place where he can Sep 30 22:38:39 I have gotten that impression, yes, your Excellency Sep 30 22:39:48 * Morgan nods Sep 30 22:39:54 I need some information Sep 30 22:40:24 * Baelor nods Sep 30 22:40:38 What information, your Excellency? Sep 30 22:43:00 One of my friends... his father was an agent of the order, yet he ended up in an orphanage. I would know his line and any title or land that is due him Sep 30 22:43:59 * Baelor nods Sep 30 22:44:28 I can make enquiries Sep 30 22:44:58 * Morgan nods, giving him the number Sep 30 22:46:14 * Baelor nods Sep 30 22:46:41 I do not know him, but he must have been one of the earliest members Sep 30 22:47:40 * Morgan nods Sep 30 22:47:56 My friend is my age, so aye, at least 20 years ago Sep 30 22:50:16 * Baelor nods Sep 30 22:50:45 I will find out what I can. Where should I write to you, your Excellency? Sep 30 22:52:08 Depends on the timescale... We leave Saturday morning, heading for Zweibruck before we set off for lands unknown Sep 30 22:52:55 * Baelor nods Sep 30 22:53:03 I would expect a few weeks Sep 30 22:54:59 * Morgan nods, thinking Sep 30 22:56:12 Send it to my overseer in Innesbruck. Sep 30 22:56:30 * Baelor nods Sep 30 22:56:39 I will do so, your Excellency Sep 30 22:57:08 Your assignment is the safety of Graben? Sep 30 22:57:44 * Baelor nods Sep 30 22:58:11 It is an easy entry point for Ussurans, and that is monitored Sep 30 22:58:30 So... how is it that Rief's treachery was not noticed? Sep 30 22:59:30 Frankly, your Excellency, he had me fooled. Sep 30 23:00:34 I respect your honesty. He had everyone fooled. Sep 30 23:09:21 * Baelor has quit (Ping Timeout) Sep 30 23:27:41 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Sep 30 23:27:55 I knew about his condition Sep 30 23:27:59 * MollyK is now known as Baelor Sep 30 23:29:58 * Morgan nods Sep 30 23:30:01 That doesn't surprise me Sep 30 23:32:04 I will continue watching over the area for as long as I am the overseer, though I know the Freiarr is considering retiring me early to put his friend in the job Sep 30 23:34:26 They served together... that builds a certain bond Sep 30 23:35:27 * Baelor nods Sep 30 23:35:42 Indeed it does, your Excellency Sep 30 23:36:33 It seems the order is very good at putting people in places of responsibility if the nobility itself isn't a part of it... Sep 30 23:39:39 * Baelor nods Sep 30 23:40:34 Overseers, lawyers, and high level servants particularly, your Excellency Sep 30 23:40:55 * Morgan nods Sep 30 23:41:10 I've noticed. What will the order do if my brother retires you as overseer? Sep 30 23:43:07 It is likely I will stay here in a mentor role, it is my intent to ingratiate myself with him Sep 30 23:43:31 * Morgan fixes him with a hard stare Sep 30 23:43:34 Can he trust you? Sep 30 23:45:23 Yes, I have no intention of making trouble for him. It is mutually beneficial for Graben to be run well Sep 30 23:46:09 * Morgan nods Sep 30 23:46:16 Then I will advise him he listen to your guidance Sep 30 23:47:30 Thank you, your Excellency Sep 30 23:49:00 Was there anything you need me to know? Sep 30 23:49:43 Only that I am here and that Graben is being watched over to keep it safe Sep 30 23:50:31 * Morgan nods Sep 30 23:51:10 Alright. You'll look into my friends lineage? If we are to make Eisen a better place, we must make reparations to those hurt in our actions Sep 30 23:51:36 * Baelor nods Sep 30 23:51:42 Yes, I will Sep 30 23:51:59 * Morgan nods Sep 30 23:52:02 Thank you Baelor Sep 30 23:52:19 You are welcome, your Excellency Sep 30 23:53:11 * Morgan nods, standing and moving to the door Sep 30 23:54:00 * Baelor doesn't stop him Sep 30 23:55:10 * Morgan heads back to the others Sep 30 23:57:08 *Everyone looks cosy* Sep 30 23:57:15 * Baelor is now known as Molly Sep 30 23:57:27 [is everything alright?] Sep 30 23:57:51 [I think so aye] Sep 30 23:59:53 [And you are alright?]
