Molly and Varick start eating, the other four going companionably to the drawing room. Molly watches them go a moment* Oct 11 20:30:03 * Morgan looks at Varick Oct 11 20:30:05 Sleep well? Oct 11 20:30:55 * Adalbrecht is now known as Varick Oct 11 20:31:34 I dreamt I was a wolf and I didn't have to ever wear clothes again Oct 11 20:31:54 I see Oct 11 20:32:19 M: Even Ivan must wear them sometimes Oct 11 20:32:35 * Varick shakes his head Oct 11 20:32:46 He was a man and didn't have clothes Oct 11 20:33:07 *Molly glances at Morgan with raised brows* Oct 11 20:33:20 He had clothes on when he arrived, didn't he Oct 11 20:33:45 But not all the time Oct 11 20:34:48 no Oct 11 20:36:22 I wouldn't have to wear clothes all the time when I am bigger and can shift Oct 11 20:36:56 Unfortunately, you have a responsibility to Koln Oct 11 20:40:26 I can be Freiarr and be naked. If I sit at a desk, they will just think I have no shirt Oct 11 20:41:02 And would that be appropriate? Oct 11 20:43:03 * Varick sighs Oct 11 20:43:08 No, Papa Oct 11 20:43:21 * Morgan nods Oct 11 20:46:22 * Varick finishes another mouthful Oct 11 20:46:41 Is a wet dream where you pee in the bed when you're asleep? Oct 11 20:47:41 No, no its not Oct 11 20:50:22 *Molly sips her coffee* Oct 11 20:50:55 Okay. I stopped that a few years ago, Papa Oct 11 20:51:32 Thats good... HeinzHarold still needs a bit of work on that I think Oct 11 20:51:49 He pees the bed?! *Varick laughs* Oct 11 20:52:12 * Morgan sips his coffee Oct 11 20:52:16 Well, it wouldn't surprise me Oct 11 20:53:22 Does Florrie wet the bed? Oct 11 20:53:47 She did a few weeks ago but I don't know about now Oct 11 20:54:06 She wanted to speak to you last time I saw her Oct 11 20:54:22 When can I speak to her? Oct 11 20:54:44 * Morgan looks at Molly Oct 11 20:54:58 Is it set for tomorrow? Oct 11 20:55:05 * Varick nods, smiling Oct 11 20:55:17 Yes, Alice was happy with that Oct 11 20:55:22 M:* Oct 11 20:55:26 * Morgan nods Oct 11 20:55:28 There we are Oct 11 20:55:45 When can I speak to Jacques? Oct 11 20:57:22 Oh, we'll have to see when we can arrange that Oct 11 20:59:15 What about Ivan? Oct 11 20:59:51 Ah, I think that may be some time Oct 11 21:00:12 But I like him Oct 11 21:00:21 I know Oct 11 21:01:26 Will you play rough with me? Oct 11 21:01:49 I think that will be necessary, don't you? Oct 11 21:04:02 * Varick nods Oct 11 21:04:09 And Heinzharold? Oct 11 21:04:21 Oh I would think so Oct 11 21:04:31 What about Claudia? Oct 11 21:05:06 No, I don't think so Oct 11 21:06:31 HH? Oct 11 21:06:52 Why? Oct 11 21:07:01 Because she doesn't do that sort of playing Oct 11 21:07:18 Oh, okay Oct 11 21:07:41 Will you push me off the bed? Oct 11 21:08:25 Maybe.... Thats probably a good game to play for it Oct 11 21:11:36 * Varick has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Oct 11 21:12:04 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Oct 11 21:12:10 * MollyK is now known as Varick Oct 11 21:12:24 Will we tell Mama if we get hurt? Oct 11 21:12:45 * Morgan nods Oct 11 21:12:48 Yes, we will Oct 11 21:15:09 Okay, Papa Oct 11 21:15:29 * Varick gets on with his lunch, Molly giving Morgan a smile Oct 11 21:15:56 I need to send someone to buy some things from town Oct 11 21:16:07 * Varick is now known as Molly Oct 11 21:16:14 Would you like me to go? Oct 11 21:16:31 If you wish to get out of the house for a while... Oct 11 21:17:09 * Molly nods Oct 11 21:17:34 That might be nice. We will be travelling a great deal from Saturday onwards Oct 11 21:17:51 * Morgan nods Oct 11 21:17:53 Aye, we will Oct 11 21:18:06 What do you need? Oct 11 21:19:23 * Morgan gives her a list of things Oct 11 21:20:11 * Molly watches him Oct 11 21:20:24 Alright... I will get them for you Oct 11 21:21:52 * Morgan inclines his head Oct 11 21:21:54 Thank you blossom Oct 11 21:23:21 * Molly nods, kissing his cheek as she goes Oct 11 21:23:34 * Molly is now known as Varick Oct 11 21:23:58 Will we see Uncle Edward now? Oct 11 21:24:05 Do you want to? Oct 11 21:24:55 We will be going away soon and I won't see him anymore Oct 11 21:27:08 * Morgan whispers Oct 11 21:27:12 He'll have a mirror Oct 11 21:41:42 * Varick has quit (Ping Timeout) Oct 11 21:46:07 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Oct 11 21:47:29 * MollyK is now known as Varick Oct 11 21:49:05 [21:30:27] Varick: We can talk to him and Auntie Mina? Oct 11 21:50:16 Well, Aunty Mina doesn't know about the mirrors yet... they might make her uncomfortable so we're going to leave it to uncle Edward to tell her when he thinks best Oct 11 21:51:51 * Varick nods Oct 11 21:51:57 Like with Florrie Oct 11 21:52:33 * Morgan nods Oct 11 21:52:35 Exactly Oct 11 21:53:03 Is Uncle Edward the boss of Auntie Mina now? Oct 11 21:54:19 He is her husband, so he leads her, protects her, makes the decisions about Graben Oct 11 21:55:49 Will I do that with my human wife? Oct 11 21:56:48 I think that rather depends on your relationship with her Oct 11 21:58:47 Do you do that with Mama? Oct 11 21:59:56 We are closer to an equal partnership... co captains of a ship... Oct 11 22:00:20 Did you do it with Dietlinde? Oct 11 22:00:30 * Morgan nods Oct 11 22:00:49 I was the captain of my ship then, I made the decisions, tried to protect her... Oct 11 22:01:49 Why did you do that? Oct 11 22:02:59 Thats just... who I was then. I'm not as confident in the decisions I make anymore, thats why mama helps me so much Oct 11 22:04:07 * Varick watches him as he chews a moment Oct 11 22:04:10 Why? Oct 11 22:05:05 You know when you were playing with Jacques and Rickon, and the vase got broken? Oct 11 22:05:32 * Varick nods Oct 11 22:06:20 You change how you decide to do things, so it doesn't happen again, if you want to play, you're not quite so sure if you're making the right choice. Its like that, but much much bigger Oct 11 22:08:35 I don't understand, Papa? Oct 11 22:09:54 * Morgan sighs Oct 11 22:10:38 I think... you might be a little young for it Oct 11 22:10:47 * Varick nods Oct 11 22:11:17 I'm done now Oct 11 22:11:38 * Morgan nods, tidying the plate Oct 11 22:11:44 Come on then, lets go see Edward Oct 11 22:16:21 * Varick goes with him. They bump into Edward and Mina who are in the process of going upstairs Oct 11 22:17:42 Ah... quiet hour, of course Oct 11 22:18:59 * Varick looks at all three grown ups, Edward and Mina having stopped on the stairs to talk to them Oct 11 22:19:09 What is quiet hour, Papa? Oct 11 22:21:39 Its an hour where no-one interrupts so we can spend quality time with our loved ones Oct 11 22:23:39 But that's when I am normally asleep Oct 11 22:24:19 * Morgan nods Oct 11 22:24:35 So on the ship, you have a nice nap, and mama and I just talk and sometimes have a nap too Oct 11 22:25:36 * Varick innocently looks to Edward Oct 11 22:25:57 You do look tired, Uncle Edward. You have bags under your eyes Oct 11 22:26:19 E: *he smiles slightly* Do I? Oct 11 22:26:43 * Varick nods Oct 11 22:29:57 *Mina glances at Morgan, looking uncommonly uncomposed, blushing a little* Oct 11 22:30:22 E: I'd best go and have a nap, unless I am needed? Oct 11 22:30:52 * Morgan runs his hand over Varicks scalp I think we can wait til later can't we... we'll go check on the den Oct 11 22:31:55 * Varick nods Oct 11 22:32:55 *Edward inclines his head to Morgan* Mother and Father are still in the drawing room Oct 11 22:34:08 * Morgan nods Oct 11 22:34:11 Sleep well... Oct 11 22:35:00 E: *he nods, smiling* Oct 11 22:35:25 * Morgan looks at Varick Oct 11 22:35:34 Den or would you like to see Grandpa? Oct 11 22:37:11 Grandpa Oct 11 22:37:47 * Morgan nods, taking his hand and heading to the drawing room Oct 11 22:40:04 *the door is slightly ajar, the room warm, and the couple are sat close together on the couch. They aren't kissing, but it certainly seems intimate enough that they either were are are about to be* Oct 11 22:40:19 * Morgan taps on the doorframe Oct 11 22:40:56 *Adalbrecht moves away a little before looking over his shoulder* Yes, Morgan? Oct 11 22:42:04 Sorry to interrupt but this young man was hoping to spend a bit of time with his grandparents Oct 11 22:44:05 Verity: Of course you can, Varick. Would you like to see the things I have made for the baby? Oct 11 22:44:42 * Varick goes over, depositing himself between Verity and Adalbrecht Oct 11 22:45:30 * Morgan rings the bell for some tea and coffee Oct 11 22:47:00 *the servants arrange it. Varick looks at the things* Are they for my baby brother or sister? Oct 11 22:47:33 *Verity looks at Morgan. Though she is trying to stay neutral he sees her eyes light up* Oct 11 22:48:37 * Morgan shakes his head slightly Oct 11 22:48:58 Not for a time yet, Varick. Those are for Jarvies baby Oct 11 22:51:11 * Varick looks at Verity "They won't have a baby for a loooong time" Oct 11 22:51:48 * Morgan glances at his father Oct 11 22:53:00 A: *he looks at the fire in the grate* Oct 11 22:53:53 Ver: Then Jarvinia's baby will have outgrown them, and they can be passed on. Perhaps your cousin will wear them after that. Oct 11 22:54:32 * Varick shakes his head "Florrie's head is really big for a hat that size!" Oct 11 22:55:42 * Morgan laughs before stopping himself Oct 11 22:57:04 He's not wrong... Oct 11 22:59:08 *Verity smiles gently* I meant if Edward and Mina have a baby, who will be your cousin Oct 11 23:00:20 I have *he counts* nine cousins already, and two sisters who died Oct 11 23:00:37 *Verity looks a little puzzled* Oct 11 23:00:56 * Morgan speaks quietly Oct 11 23:01:00 What confuses you mother? Oct 11 23:02:58 V: two sisters? Oct 11 23:03:18 * Morgan nods slowly, glancing at his father Oct 11 23:03:27 Jana for one... Oct 11 23:03:49 * Varick nods "Jana and Mae. Mae died the day before I was born. That's why Lady Eldreich thought I was her baby but I wasn't" Oct 11 23:05:15 *Verity looks a little surprised* That's rather a lot of information for such a young man... *she glances at Morgan and Adalbrecht, the latter of who looks a little uneasy* Oct 11 23:06:38 Father, perhaps you would like to see Varicks den? Oct 11 23:06:49 A: Yes I would Oct 11 23:06:59 * Morgan nods Oct 11 23:07:10 Varick, would you take grandpa to see the den? Oct 11 23:07:16 * Varick is busy talking to Verity "I _am_ seven now, Grandma" Oct 11 23:07:41 * Morgan taps him gently on the shoulder Oct 11 23:08:00 Varick... your grandpa would like to see the excellent den you made, would you take him? Oct 11 23:10:07 * Varick nods "okay Grandpa, but it's not completely finished yet because when Mama, Papa, and I were finishing it I..." *he catches himself* "got a bit bored" Oct 11 23:11:48 * Morgan waits for them to go before sitting by his mother Oct 11 23:12:27 * Varick chats away as they go. Oct 11 23:12:31 * Varick is now known as Verity Oct 11 23:12:50 * Verity takes Morgan's hand in hers Oct 11 23:12:57 You are worried, dear boy Oct 11 23:14:04 Not exactly mother... though I am concerned at your surprise at Varicks statement... Oct 11 23:16:33 Your Father told me about the child Alarice lost, but I was not expecting that Varick knew so much Oct 11 23:17:04 What do you know of what happened at the Eisenfursts house? Oct 11 23:18:35 Everything. Your Father was quite upset when he returned home Oct 11 23:18:50 * Morgan nods slowly Oct 11 23:19:40 Varick was devastated that his mother had tried to kill him so she could escape. It felt vital to me that he understand that that wasn't the case. Its important he knows where he comes from. Oct 11 23:21:38 * Verity nods Oct 11 23:22:54 It's all so very sordid. He is not having the sort of gentle childhood I strived to give you Oct 11 23:23:43 He wasn't... he is much more aware of the realities of the world, but he is, I think, secure in the knowledge he is loved and wanted, and that is more than he had Oct 11 23:24:22 * Verity nods Oct 11 23:24:36 He is thriving with you Oct 11 23:24:55 * Morgan nods Oct 11 23:25:41 Yes, he is. He is healing wonderfully. I understand his talking about Dietlinde is difficult for everyone but I don't want him feeling that he cannot speak about his past or his father, or my past Oct 11 23:26:31 It is difficult, of course. We all feel very guilty for what happened. Oct 11 23:29:09 It is time to let that go mother. Dietlnde wouldn't want us unhappy Oct 11 23:29:55 * Verity nods Oct 11 23:30:33 How do you feel about Sascha and Otto's baby? Oct 11 23:31:25 That is difficult to answer. I feel the child will be family to me, even though that is not _really_ the case Oct 11 23:33:27 Whyever not, dear boy? Oct 11 23:34:41 I think without Dietlinde, my tie to them isn't as... strong, perhaps... Oct 11 23:36:04 I don't with them to feel I am intruding Oct 11 23:36:20 I know that they do not feel that Oct 11 23:36:30 Do you? Oct 11 23:38:33 * Verity nods Oct 11 23:38:56 Sascha, Martha, and I have grown close these last few months Oct 11 23:39:03 * Morgan nods Oct 11 23:39:24 I'm glad... I don't think father womanly enough to satisfy the need for female company Oct 11 23:39:59 * Verity smiles gently "Your Father is definitely a man" Oct 11 23:40:13 * Morgan nods Oct 11 23:40:41 Awkward around emotional situations, gets carried away when he's enthused about something... definitely manly traits Oct 11 23:40:54 * Verity nods Oct 11 23:42:13 Sascha and Otto love your dearly. They understand that mistakes were made in the handling of it all, but the four of us as your parents should have come together to create a compromise Oct 11 23:42:40 We all got it wrong Oct 11 23:45:21 * Verity nods Oct 11 23:45:46 But without that, we would not all be here today Oct 11 23:46:12 No, that is very true Oct 11 23:48:04 I have loved having you all around at this time of year Oct 11 23:48:42 * Morgan nods Oct 11 23:48:49 I am not looking forward to leaving you all Oct 11 23:55:41 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
