**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Oct 9 00:22:24 2022 Oct 09 00:22:24 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Oct 09 00:30:19 * MollyK has quit (Ping Timeout) Oct 09 17:29:41 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Oct 09 19:21:37 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Oct 09 19:24:52 *Edward is immediately off to Mina's side, talking quietly to her. The others are all there, save for Molly and Varick. Though Edward thought it was lunch, it seems he was a little ahead of schedule, so they are in the drawing room. Oct 09 19:25:48 [where are you blossom?] Oct 09 19:26:37 [Upstairs, my love. varick is still asleep] Oct 09 19:26:58 [Thats late] Oct 09 19:27:29 [His playing with Ivan tired him I think. Should I wake him?] Oct 09 19:27:49 [If he is well, let him sleep I think] Oct 09 19:28:32 [Alright, liebling. I do not foresee him taking his quiet hour nap today] Oct 09 19:29:25 [No, I would think not] Oct 09 19:30:26 *They get called for lunch Oct 09 19:31:14 [He will be very hungry if he misses lunch] Oct 09 19:31:48 [would you please ask them to put some aside for him please?] Oct 09 19:32:06 [and you?] Oct 09 19:32:17 [please] Oct 09 19:32:33 * Morgan waits for the others to move into the dining room before following them Oct 09 19:33:53 *They all get set up, and the meal starts. Everyone has become quite familiar after at least ten days together, so the conversation flows easily Oct 09 19:34:34 * Morgan collars a servant, asking them to put some food aside for Molly and Varick Oct 09 19:35:03 *they do so* Oct 09 19:35:08 * MollyK is now known as Adalbrecht Oct 09 19:35:39 Morgan, have you spoken to Hi Grace about the travel plans? Oct 09 19:36:13 No, I've not had opportunity Oct 09 19:37:20 You might want to, as you are leaving in less than forty eight hours Oct 09 19:37:44 * Morgan nods Oct 09 19:37:58 I know. I will do so Oct 09 19:39:10 E: I will invite him and the Fuchs' to dinner Oct 09 19:40:13 * Morgan inclines his head Oct 09 19:41:23 M: I would like to see Stef again before she leaves Oct 09 19:43:16 I'm sure she'd like to see you Oct 09 19:44:08 Are you taking Hospitality, or staying at Inns? Oct 09 19:45:18 That rather depends on them, doesn't it Oct 09 19:47:03 E: *he glances at Morgan* Will you even be welcome in Heidelberg after the issue with Molly and Heidelberg's mistress? ((The mistress was basically being a bitch about Morgan, and Molly tattled to Faulk about it)) Oct 09 19:47:45 * Morgan shrugs Oct 09 19:47:50 Probably not Oct 09 19:48:27 E: That's a common stopping point Oct 09 19:49:47 Bad form to turn away a duchess, but if they wish to do so, I will find elsewhere to stay... though I shouldn't imagine news of their impoliteness will sit well in court... Oct 09 19:50:19 * Adalbrecht smiles Oct 09 19:50:25 Not at all Oct 09 19:51:49 M: Reputation matters greatly Oct 09 19:52:21 * Morgan nods slightly, looking at his plate Oct 09 19:53:11 M: is something wrong. The servants will fix you a fresh plate if you require Oct 09 19:54:48 * Morgan shakes his head, glancing at her Oct 09 19:55:55 No, nothing. I suppose it comes down to whether or not being rebuked by the Eisenfurst is important enough to override their desire to maintain their reputation. Oct 09 19:57:10 M: If they are wise, they will be courteous Oct 09 19:59:19 * Morgan shrugs, sipping his coffee Oct 09 19:59:31 Either way, we will find somewhere Oct 09 20:03:03 Chris: Grendlik will travel up river from Kreuzung, and pop in on Lord Zenchlerin on the way before Freiburg Oct 09 20:05:32 I didn't realise they were particularly friendly Oct 09 20:07:27 G: We got on well, but I get on with most people, my Lord Oct 09 20:08:18 * Morgan nods Oct 09 20:08:26 I had noticed that about you Oct 09 20:11:28 C: And as I am going home through Freiburg, it makes sense for us both to go together Oct 09 20:11:57 * Morgan nods slowly Oct 09 20:12:02 aye Oct 09 20:14:19 I, to Jarvie: Won't you miss your husband dreadfully? Oct 09 20:14:38 *Jarvie laughs* No. A little, at most Oct 09 20:14:40 * Morgan mutters Oct 09 20:14:44 Only cos she can't throw that far Oct 09 20:15:08 G: *he looks at Morgan* she is a ridiculously good throw though Oct 09 20:15:38 Runs in the family Oct 09 20:18:59 * Adalbrecht nods Oct 09 20:19:20 Hans was a good throw Oct 09 20:19:54 Any good with a bow? Oct 09 20:20:09 J: It's a pity he won't get to see his grandchild Oct 09 20:21:02 * Morgan looks at his father Oct 09 20:21:23 Would you explain heaven to Jarvie as you did to me? Oct 09 20:23:15 * Adalbrecht sets to explaining Hans theory, but once he's been asked a few questions about it seems to give up entirely Oct 09 20:23:30 I did not understand it when he told me, and I don't know either Oct 09 20:24:13 Its like an oxbow lake Oct 09 20:26:25 A what? Oct 09 20:26:56 * Morgan looks at him, shocked Oct 09 20:27:03 A sailor, no less... Oct 09 20:29:23 * Adalbrecht just watches him Oct 09 20:30:16 * Morgan traces a pattern on the table with his finger Oct 09 20:32:15 The twists and turns of a river, eventually the banks wear away and the river finds a more direct route, leaving a curved, small lake behind where the curve _was_. The water is time, flowing in the river, where we all are, and not flowing in the lake... heaven. There is no current in heaven, no time passes for them. When we pass on, we go from the river to the lake. Oct 09 20:34:30 *everyone seems to be considering this* Oct 09 20:36:12 * Morgan sips his coffee Oct 09 20:36:30 Wonks: But time changes us. If no time passes for them, but fifty years passes for me, I will not be the same man I was Oct 09 20:37:04 * Morgan taps his chest Oct 09 20:37:28 You are the same man in here... Oct 09 20:38:10 *Wonks nods* Oct 09 20:38:56 Claudia: Are you though? People can end up very different to where they started Oct 09 20:40:51 * Morgan sips his coffee slowly Oct 09 20:42:47 But what of that is truly who _you_ are? What of that is how you have to be to deal with the world? At your core, what are you, when it comes down to it? Your intent, I think, speaks of who you are. Oct 09 20:43:15 Chris: *he nods* Very good, dear boy Oct 09 20:43:40 * Morgan shrugs, swirling the coffee in his cup Oct 09 20:44:32 Little bit heavy for the lunch table. Oct 09 20:45:03 $Take the Rose. She's been scuppered, broken, burned and refloated. She is still the Rose.$ Oct 09 20:45:47 $Guess so.$ Oct 09 20:46:09 Chris: Philosophy is more of an after-dinner pursuit Oct 09 20:46:32 E: Uncle Christopher might like your book from Karlsruhe Oct 09 20:46:57 * Morgan nods, taking it from a pocket and putting it in front of him Oct 09 20:47:31 He and his men would read a passage then meditate on it. I was surprised how well it worked to bring me calm Oct 09 20:48:52 *Christopher wipes his hands on his napkin before opening it* "Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one." Oct 09 20:49:48 A good man has no need to say he is one... he proves it in his actions day in day out. Oct 09 20:49:56 * Morgan frowns Oct 09 20:49:59 That might not be in there Oct 09 20:50:36 Ch: I think that is not dissimilar to what the quote is saying Oct 09 20:50:59 * Morgan nods Oct 09 20:51:40 Ch: "The best revenge is not to be like your enemy" Oct 09 20:52:14 ((Attention?)) Oct 09 20:52:18 $I assume that isn't referring to being alive...$ Oct 09 20:52:20 ((Claudia)) Oct 09 20:52:46 *Claudia smiles slightly, drinking her coffee* Oct 09 20:53:08 D: Better to not have any enemies at all where possible. Oct 09 20:56:28 *Chrisopher nods, moving deeper into the book* "Sometimes in life we must fight not only without fear, but also without hope" Oct 09 20:57:51 E: *he glances at Mina, smiling a little when their eyes meet* Oct 09 20:59:20 That is where one's faith has to come into play. You can always hope for divine intervention. Oct 09 20:59:43 I... disagree... Oct 09 21:00:01 Do you? Oct 09 21:00:14 * Morgan nods Oct 09 21:00:15 *everyones attention is on him* Oct 09 21:00:34 And not just because I do that... a lot... Oct 09 21:00:50 *this raises chuckling* Oct 09 21:03:12 * Morgan sips his coffee, glancing at his father Oct 09 21:04:48 * Adalbrecht is clearly waiting for him to elaborate Oct 09 21:05:37 There are times when you must fight with no hope of survival. You are not getting out of it alive, but thats not the aim. The aim is stop the harm that your opponent aims to cause to others.
