**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Oct 27 11:18:25 2022 Oct 27 11:18:25 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Oct 27 11:55:27 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Oct 27 11:59:28 I'd like that Oct 27 11:59:28 * MollyK nods, going on her tiptoes, this time the full width of her lips on his Oct 27 11:59:28 * Morgan puts a hand to her face, his lips pressed to hers Oct 27 11:59:28 * MollyK moves a little closer, lips parting softly Oct 27 11:59:28 * Morgan gently runs his tongue along her lower lip Oct 27 11:59:32 * MollyK murmurs with pleasure, her tongue coming to meet his Oct 27 11:59:32 * Morgan moans, pressing his tongue to hers Oct 27 11:59:34 * MollyK kisses a little deeper, a firmer Oct 27 11:59:36 * Morgan matches her Oct 27 11:59:38 * MollyK pulls away "I'm sorry... I have to go... the master at arms, he is strict..." Oct 27 11:59:40 * Morgan nods Oct 27 11:59:42 He's quite unpleasant Oct 27 11:59:44 He kisses so well though... Oct 27 12:03:05 * MollyK smiles a little "Maybe we could talk later, if you're still up... *she bites her lip a moment* awake, I mean..." Oct 27 12:03:50 * Morgan nods alright Oct 27 12:04:16 * MollyK watches him a moment longer before sighing and moving for the door Oct 27 12:06:01 * Morgan follows her out, very aware that he is in her room Oct 27 12:07:27 * MollyK waits outside his, speaking quietly Oct 27 12:07:31 Morgan? Oct 27 12:11:29 Yes? Oct 27 12:12:19 You might want to lock it this time... *she smiles. Her eyes look so very blue* Oct 27 12:12:31 * Morgan nods Oct 27 12:13:17 *actually, everything looks quite blue.... She smiles "I'll be imagining that whilst I work..."* Oct 27 12:13:34 * Morgan nods Oct 27 12:13:47 *he realises he is dreaming* Oct 27 12:13:57 * Morgan tries to wake up Oct 27 12:15:36 *He wakes up, he’s almost falling out of bed. She is facing away from him. He can guess about two hours have passed* Oct 27 12:17:53 * Morgan shuffles closer to her slightly before trying to go back to sleep Oct 27 12:18:59 * MollyK sighs happily a moment, but doesn't wake. He's asleep again rapidly Oct 27 12:19:39 *he dreams the thread of Insel where he betrayed HH by taking the virginity of the girl he caught pleasuring herself at the stream. Finally he had gotten the horse sorted and left into the warm night. He'd had to take matters in hand, the built up pressure too much. He'd pulled off the road and hidden behind some bushes, stroking in that fast rough Oct 27 12:19:39 way she'd made him show her, spending himself with relief onto the grass. The feelings of betrayal had been worse when the lust was gone. Oct 27 12:19:39 *He'd ridden ahead day and night, heartsore all the way to Johstadt, the Treileben waiting. He already had his briefing, hammock and orders a few days before HH and Rosie arrived. There was no sign that HH had told anyone, even Rosie, but although HH had said to forget about it, he barely spoke to Morgan afterwards. Oct 27 12:20:14 *It had made for an awkward three months at sea with their only respite fortnightly stops along the Montaigne coast for shore leave and provisions. Morgan had tried going with the others to the first brothel, considering that now he had given away his virginity, maybe he could do it again. But the moment he saw the woman he had passed coins to Oct 27 12:20:15 naked he realised he did not want something transactional. Wanted only something fun, joyful and lively, with someone in particular. He saw HH enjoying himself with a brunette and her bare breasts. It felt like there were now worlds between them. Oct 27 12:20:15 *By the time they get to Zweibrucke and berth after their long stint at sea, the men are eager for letters from home, waiting around on deck. Rosie is the first to get one, reading quietly to himself. HH has made more friends, busy chatting with them. Oct 27 12:20:15 ((Done)) Oct 27 12:22:17 * Morgan mills about, keeping himself to himself Oct 27 12:22:23 *the bosun gives Morgan a letter before moving on, the writing on the outside is Verity's* Oct 27 12:22:36 * Morgan thanks him, opening it Oct 27 12:23:53 *It is lovely, calm, talking about how she misses him, how Edward is doing well at the Academy and has made some friends there, about the plants she has put in, when suddenly there is a shout* Oct 27 12:24:24 * MollyK is now known as Rosie Oct 27 12:24:24 * Morgan looks round, tucking the letter in his pocket Oct 27 12:24:50 "Heinzharold! You are a fucking dead man!" * he moves fast and hits HH in the face. Other men jump to restrain him.* Oct 27 12:25:01 * Morgan rushes over Oct 27 12:26:07 *HH looks dazed, on his ass on the deck with a bloody nose* Oct 27 12:26:25 * Morgan calls for a medic, looking over at Rosie Oct 27 12:26:52 * Rosie is fighting against the restraint "I am going to gut you!" Oct 27 12:27:05 * Morgan stands up, moving towards Oct 27 12:27:17 You'll do no such thing. Whats your issue? Oct 27 12:27:44 *Rosie looks livid* My cousin is with child, his child! *The other sailors grimace, noises of disapproval. HH staggers to his feet, spitting blood into his handkerchief* Oct 27 12:28:13 She says that? Or are you guessing? Oct 27 12:28:55 Says it was three months ago. When he stayed with us. Oct 27 12:28:55 **An older sailor sighs* You youngsters… Theus gives you loaded muskets and no teaching what to do with 'em. Only safe thing to do it keep it in yer trousers. Even touching yer cock and fingering her can knock her up! Oct 27 12:29:29 * Morgan looks over at him Oct 27 12:30:24 That explains a lot about your disposition, now fuck off. *he looks back to Rosie* And you're upset that she didn't choose you to do it with... Oct 27 12:31:43 *the older sailor moves away, the other men start to argue about the truth of that, and HH waves the medic away, stood with Rosie and Morgan at a bit more distance * Oct 27 12:32:15 I'm angry he slept with my cousin, and now she's stuck with his by-blow! Oct 27 12:32:59 HH: *he rubs his nose with his handkerchief, watching Morgan's expression surreptitiously as he does* Oct 27 12:33:29 * Morgan grinds his teeth Oct 27 12:33:32 Thats not how it happened Oct 27 12:34:59 *HH looks at him* It's alright, man... you don't need to defend me. I'll do the 'onourable thing, and marry 'er as soon as I can get shore leave. Oct 27 12:38:18 * Morgan looks at him Oct 27 12:38:22 Don't be stupid Oct 27 12:39:14 * Rosie grudgingly says "I suppose that's better than nothing" Oct 27 12:40:40 *HH puts away the hankie* Alright. *he stretches* Best see Cap'n 'bout getting a couple months leave. It's a long way to ride. Oct 27 12:40:58 * Morgan moves to HeinzHarold, talking quietly Oct 27 12:41:07 Don't be fucking stupid, its my mess Oct 27 12:41:15 * Rosie is now known as HH Oct 27 12:41:27 You don't know that. You left. Oct 27 12:42:01 You slept with her? Oct 27 12:42:36 Mighta done. You wouldn't know. Rosie wouldn't know. Cap'n wouldn't know. Oct 27 12:42:59 No... no, you didn't. Its wrong, you doing this. Oct 27 12:44:05 * HH shrugs "How is it wrong? I like 'er, she needs someone to marry 'er, could be mine..." Oct 27 12:44:27 I don't believe you, and you're not a liar, so pack it in Oct 27 12:44:41 Well it could, if I'd slept with 'er... Oct 27 12:44:51 But you didn't Oct 27 12:45:10 Only two people in th' world know that for sure... Oct 27 12:45:49 Stop it! Oct 27 12:46:27 * HH shrugs "Makes sense to me, man. Better for e'eryone if it's mine." Oct 27 12:48:35 But its not. Is it? Because you didn't sleep with her. I'll face the consequences of my own actions, I'm not having you ruin your friendship with him like I did with you. Its not fucking happening. Oct 27 12:48:59 *There's a call to attention, before there's the sound of someone coming on deck "Colonel on deck!" Oct 27 12:49:18 * HH stands to attention, but says quietly "Can't stop me, man" Oct 27 12:49:31 * Morgan stands likewise, whispering Oct 27 12:49:46 Please, I'm begging you. I won't _let_ you Oct 27 12:50:58 * HH whispers back "Tough shit, man. You broke the rules, you don' get to tell me what to do" Oct 27 12:51:30 *Colonel Fuchs surveys the deck. Their formidable captain looks fawning beside him* Oct 27 12:51:55 Fuchs: Where has this blood come from? Oct 27 12:52:28 * Morgan speaks up Oct 27 12:52:33 A misunderstanding sir Oct 27 12:52:58 *Fuchs looks at him seriously* explain yourself. Oct 27 12:54:51 Rosenkrantz thought HeinzHarold at fault for something sir, but is wrong, sir Oct 27 12:55:18 *Rosie is watching this* That is incorrect, Colonel. I hit him because I just discovered he got my cousin pregnant. Oct 27 12:55:33 What I said is correct sir Oct 27 12:56:07 *Fuchs looks at the three of them, unimpressed* Captain's quarters, the three of you. NOW! Oct 27 12:56:34 * Morgan follows his order immediately Oct 27 12:58:23 *Fuchs looks at the Captain* And clean that up. *HH and Rosie also go below, the risks of infighting being high. In the quarters Fuchs leans against the desk, looking at the three eighteen year olds. He is quite terrifying, in the same way Grunhelm is. He points at HH* You. Explain. Oct 27 12:59:49 Sir, I stayed with Rosie's family when I broke my leg. I liked his cousin, really liked her, and she liked me. Now she's pregnant and I am going to marry her, Sir. Oct 27 13:01:45 *Fuchs looks to Rosie* F: Is she of age? *Rosie nods "Sir, yes, Sir"* F: And She has said he is the Father? Oct 27 13:02:57 R: Sir, No, but he was at my family home for several weeks at the right time, and she is not betrothed to anyone, Sir. Oct 27 13:03:16 * Morgan fidgets Oct 27 13:03:40 *Fuchs looks to Morgan* You have something to say? Oct 27 13:04:01 Sir, yes sir. HeinzHarold did not sleep with her sir. I did, sir. Oct 27 13:04:35 *Rosie glares at him* Oct 27 13:05:09 *Fuchs looks at HH* Did you sleep with her too? Oct 27 13:05:27 * HH looks very much like he will lie Oct 27 13:05:59 Sir, HeinzHarold is intent on lying to.. be with her and save me from the consequences of my actions, sir Oct 27 13:06:36 *Fuchs looks at Morgan* And why would he do that? Oct 27 13:06:56 * Morgan looks deeply ashamed of himself Oct 27 13:07:04 Because he is a better friend to me than I was to him, sir Oct 27 13:07:37 *The Colonel stares into the the middle distance a moment* Oct 27 13:08:16 * HH looks at Morgan, gesturing $this is horseshit. I _want_ to marry her, just let it be.$ Oct 27 13:08:37 Sir, and he wants to marry her, sir. Oct 27 13:09:12 $fuck you, Morgan.$ Oct 27 13:09:37 $I'm trying to protect you man$ Oct 27 13:09:47 *The Colonel looks at them both* And which of you does the girl want to marry? Oct 27 13:10:05 Sir, neither, sir. No-one, sir. Oct 27 13:11:18 *Fuchs looks unimpressed* She has to marry someone. One of you will need to, but it will ruin your friendship. Oct 27 13:11:35 Sir, I have already done that, sir Oct 27 13:12:05 *Fuchs looks at him* Then I will write your papers and you will leave immediately. Oct 27 13:12:26 Sir, yes sir Oct 27 13:12:40 Sir! His Father will go mad! Better that it's me, Sir. Oct 27 13:14:06 *Fuchs looks to HH now* Look, Heinzharold, was it? You clearly like the girl, but your friend seized the initiative. It's painful, but he should be the one to marry her. Oct 27 13:14:41 *Rosie still watches Morgan like a murder will prevent that* Oct 27 13:15:01 * Morgan glances at him, nodding slightly Oct 27 13:15:18 * HH looks defeated now "Sir, yes, Sir" Oct 27 13:16:02 *Fuchs considers the three of them, then looks at Morgan* We will put this down to idiocy... Oct 27 13:16:13 Sir, yes sir Oct 27 13:17:29 Fuchs: Koertig, you will be reposted to another ship. Heinzharold, Rosenkrantz... if there is anymore trouble between you, you will both be punished. Do you all understand me? Oct 27 13:17:52 Sir, yes sir Oct 27 13:18:17 *the others match him. He dismisses HH and Rosie* Oct 27 13:18:22 * HH is now known as Fuchs Oct 27 13:19:12 * Fuchs goes into the Captain's desk, looking for the papers and finding a quill. He leaves Morgan stood there through a long silence Oct 27 13:19:36 * Morgan waits, fighting tears Oct 27 13:20:15 * Fuchs fills it in, then signs it. He looks up to Morgan "Was it worth it?" Oct 27 13:20:29 * Morgan speaks quietl Oct 27 13:20:34 Sir, no, sir Oct 27 13:20:41 * Fuchs nods Oct 27 13:20:49 A bit of advice to you... Oct 27 13:21:02 Sir? Oct 27 13:21:18 Never tell your future wife that. Oct 27 13:21:49 No sir Oct 27 13:22:50 * Fuchs hands over the documents both excusing him and giving him a new ship due to leave Johstadt in eight weeks time, called the Valour Of The Heart. He watches Morgan. Oct 27 13:22:56 Good luck to you. Oct 27 13:23:06 * Morgan nods slightly Oct 27 13:23:08 sir Oct 27 13:23:45 You are dismissed. Get your things and the bosun will give you money to travel. Oct 27 13:23:54 sir Oct 27 13:24:05 * Morgan leaves, going straight to collect his things Oct 27 13:25:17 *HH is nowhere to be seen, but Rosie watches him, arms folded. He grabs Morgan's arm as he passes, speaking low and threatening* You'll do right by her now... Oct 27 13:25:45 * Morgan nods Oct 27 13:26:04 Take care of HeinzHarold. I couldn't let him lose two friends over this. Oct 27 13:26:28 *He lets go of Morgan's arm, turning away Oct 27 13:26:44 * Morgan goes to find the bosun Oct 27 13:28:16 *He gives him the money, it's not much so it will be very basic fare and board. He doesn't make any comment at all* Oct 27 13:28:46 * Morgan heads up on deck to leave Oct 27 13:29:21 *he still doesn't see HH. His former best friend doesn't come up to see him off* Oct 27 13:29:55 * Morgan wipes his face, leaving the ship Oct 27 13:30:33 *the church bell chimes once, and he wakes up* Oct 27 13:30:39 * Fuchs is now known as Molly Oct 27 13:31:16 * Morgan carefully climbs off the bed, rubbing at his face Oct 27 13:31:38 *it's dark and cold. She doesn't wake* Oct 27 13:32:37 * Morgan glances towards the candles, lighting them as he pulls his clothes on Oct 27 13:32:50 * Molly awakens with the light Oct 27 13:32:52 Hmm? Oct 27 13:33:37 I need to get up. I'll put the candles out in a minute Oct 27 13:34:39 No, I should get dressed if we are to leave early *she sits up, stretching, the warm candlelight revealing her bare breasts* is everything alright? Oct 27 13:35:35 * Morgan shakes his head, rubbing at his face again Oct 27 13:35:51 Bad dream. Oct 27 13:36:05 * Molly opens her arms "come here, my love, can I help?" Oct 27 13:38:27 * Morgan comes to her, crying quietly against her Oct 27 13:38:46 * Molly gently strokes his back Oct 27 13:38:49 Magic? Oct 27 13:41:54 * Morgan nods Oct 27 13:42:22 * Molly does so, settling him physiologically Oct 27 13:42:45 Do you wish to talk about it? Oct 27 13:42:54 * Morgan shakes his head Oct 27 13:43:48 I hope it was not because of the dream I told you last night Oct 27 13:49:24 * Molly has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Oct 27 14:09:04 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Oct 27 14:09:44 No love Oct 27 14:09:47 * Morgan tells her about it Oct 27 14:10:12 Oh liebling, I am sorry Oct 27 14:10:25 * Morgan nods Oct 27 14:11:03 It wasn't blue. I'm going to have to feel betraying HeinzHarold again Oct 27 14:11:12 * MollyK sighs Oct 27 14:11:34 I will ask Edward to have the nightmare trap brought to us. Oct 27 14:12:00 That didn't stop it anyway Oct 27 14:12:17 No, I suppose not. Do you need to see him Oct 27 14:12:50 I will in a while. I'll not disrupt anyone because of my own nightmares Oct 27 14:13:51 * MollyK nods "Alright my love. There's tea in the trunk from your uncle if you wanted to make some? Oct 27 14:14:49 * Morgan nods, getting the tea and heading to the kitchen to make it Oct 27 14:15:06 * MollyK is now known as HH Oct 27 14:15:43 *he's barely in the hall when he spots a naked HH, hands over his crotch, sneaking across the hall* Oct 27 14:15:58 What the _fuck_ are you doing? Oct 27 14:16:24 * HH jumps about a foot in the air "Bah!" Oct 27 14:17:23 *the room he is coming from was not the room he went in with Inga last night* Oct 27 14:18:36 What are you doing man? Oct 27 14:19:20 Bit o' a long story, man. Any chance we can get dressed an' on the road ASAP? Oct 27 14:20:26 Thats the plan... then you're going to explain. Oct 27 14:21:20 * HH nods, saluting before dashing for his room. Behind Morgan the door open Oct 27 14:21:25 * HH is now known as Molly Oct 27 14:21:32 * Molly speaks quietly Oct 27 14:21:44 Is everything alright out here, my love? Oct 27 14:23:34 I'm not entirely sure. Oct 27 14:23:51 I've just seen HeinzHarold coming from that room *he points*, naked Oct 27 14:24:23 * Molly frowns, pointing at the door he has just gone in Oct 27 14:24:29 But that's their room Oct 27 14:26:59 Yes... I know Oct 27 14:28:14 * Molly frowns again "He would never betray Inga...?" Oct 27 14:29:04 No. I just don't see it. Oct 27 14:29:27 * Molly nods Oct 27 14:29:45 I will get dressed in case I am needed, and wake the others then Oct 27 14:30:08 * Morgan nods, moving to the door and listening Oct 27 14:32:41 *There's only talking about getting underway. Molly has gone back to their room* Oct 27 14:33:23 *the room is empty by the sounds of it* Oct 27 14:34:07 * Morgan heads slowly toward the kitchen, listening for people as he goes Oct 27 14:34:31 *there's no one around, even the kitchen is empty* Oct 27 14:34:50 * Morgan makes the tea, taking it back to his room Oct 27 14:35:27 *The door where HH was stands a little ajar* Oct 27 14:35:55 * Morgan frowns, pushing the door open Oct 27 14:36:01 * Molly is now known as maid Oct 27 14:37:03 *a young maid is in the process of stripping the sheets. There's already a crumpled up towel beside the bed where she puts a pillow case. The curtains are open, a fire lit. Oct 27 14:37:17 Who was in here? Oct 27 14:37:19 * maid curtsies "Your Excellency." Oct 27 14:37:47 This was the room given to Sir Lehenstreue, your Excellency Oct 27 14:38:44 * maid glances at the towel with a little amused smile, almost only a micro expression, before looking back to Morgan Oct 27 14:39:36 I see... thank you Oct 27 14:40:05 * maid waits patiently to see if he needs anything else Oct 27 14:40:24 * Morgan nods to himself, thanking her again before heading back to his own room Oct 27 14:40:32 * maid is now known as Molly Oct 27 14:40:55 * Molly is fully dressed, everything tidy and packed, the bed stripped Oct 27 14:41:01 I reckon... I've got an idea of what's gone on Oct 27 14:41:14 Oh? *she watches him* Oct 27 14:41:25 Unless, of course, you know already? Oct 27 14:41:44 No, I haven't seen them, I dressed and woke the others Oct 27 14:43:55 * Morgan nods Oct 27 14:44:20 It was HeinzHarolds room... I'm thinking he was doing something to relieve his tension, and was interrupted Oct 27 14:44:43 * Molly smiles, blushing Oct 27 14:44:56 I... I don't know what to say to that! Oct 27 14:45:05 * Morgan nods Oct 27 14:45:12 We'll see what he says once we're under way Oct 27 14:45:18 * Molly nods Oct 27 14:45:55 Unfortunately I will now be thinking of you doing that all day! *she smiles, giving her hair a last check* Oct 27 14:46:14 * Morgan nods slightly Oct 27 14:46:15 Very well Oct 27 14:46:57 * Molly kisses his cheek "Everything is in ha-... in progress, a quick breakfast and we can get going" Oct 27 14:47:06 * Morgan nods Oct 27 14:47:09 Alright Oct 27 14:50:09 *This is what they do. HH opts to take some breakfast outside whilst seeing to the horses and carriages. There are lots of little smiles pass between the staff, but no one sat the breakfast table seems to notice, except maybe Fuchs. Inga looks perfectly relaxed chatting with Stef and Molly. The goodbyes from their hosts are short, and Morgan and Oct 27 14:50:09 Claudia end up riding at the rear. The weather looks more favourable for the day. Oct 27 14:50:16 * Molly is now known as Claudia Oct 27 14:51:00 Westfeld next, they seemed alright at the wedding Oct 27 14:51:26 I suppose so, aye Oct 27 14:51:49 How'd you sleep? Oct 27 14:52:17 Like shit. Nighare. Oct 27 14:52:35 Something that might happen? Oct 27 14:53:09 Not unless we travel back in time, and a lot of things change Oct 27 14:53:16 * Claudia nods Oct 27 14:53:18 * Morgan glances at her Oct 27 14:53:26 I betrayed HeinzHarold Oct 27 14:53:37 * Claudia looks at him Oct 27 14:53:48 Left him in a Vaticine camp? Oct 27 14:54:23 Slept with a girl he was absolutely mad about Oct 27 14:55:04 Whoops Oct 27 14:55:19 It destroyed our friendship. And then we found out she was pregnant. Oct 27 14:55:33 Doesn't sound like you Oct 27 14:55:52 I'm glad you think so Oct 27 14:57:05 Absolutely. You wouldn't ever knock someone up by accident, let alone sleeping with someone Heinzharold liked Oct 27 15:00:36 Aye well... the look on his face, the pain of having him hate me... yeah, its pretty horrible Oct 27 15:00:47 * Claudia nods Oct 27 15:00:54 Yeah, that's rough Oct 27 15:03:52 [Varick is asking to ride with you, my love. Do you need to speak to Heinzharold first?] Oct 27 15:06:03 I need to speak to HeinzHarold before Varick rides with me. You be alright with me sending DeeDee back here? Oct 27 15:06:38 [Aye, I do] Oct 27 15:06:56 * Claudia sighs Oct 27 15:06:59 Yeah Oct 27 15:07:32 * Morgan nods, thanking her before riding to the front and sending DeeDee to the back Oct 27 15:07:40 * Claudia is now known as HH Oct 27 15:07:53 * HH is singing about the bottles of beer Oct 27 15:08:08 * Morgan looks at him Oct 27 15:08:12 Come on then, out with it Oct 27 15:08:20 * HH looks awkward Oct 27 15:08:30 It's pretty embarrassin', man Oct 27 15:11:03 * Morgan waits expectantly Oct 27 15:12:05 Started off that Inga kept kickin' me off the bed Oct 27 15:12:16 Uh huh Oct 27 15:13:06 Middle o' the night, I thought I'd just go sleep in the other room. Didn't take my clothes b'cause I was warm and half asleep Oct 27 15:14:16 * Morgan nods Oct 27 15:14:18 Right Oct 27 15:14:45 * HH grimaces a moment "Woke up with th' morning advantage pretty eager, y'know?" Oct 27 15:17:11 And you were interrupted by a maid walking in on you? Oct 27 15:17:39 Kinda worse than that Oct 27 15:17:46 Offered her assistance? Oct 27 15:19:11 Sorta. I thought Inga was already dressed an' lighting the fire. Was a bit bright, so I couldn't see too well. I was on top of the sheets, still drowsy, but hand on meself. She asked if I wanted a hand... *he looks a little evasive* I made a bit of a comment and continued what I was doing. Then I realised she wasn' my wife, just a random maid... Oct 27 15:35:36 You said yes, didn't you? Oct 27 15:36:00 Uhhh no... Oct 27 15:36:05 But... Oct 27 15:36:13 * HH sighs Oct 27 15:37:00 I said "You're already dressed, shame. Bring the pretty lil face here, kneel there an' I'll do it myself" Oct 27 15:37:09 That* Oct 27 15:37:23 * Morgan nods Oct 27 15:37:30 I've heard worse... so what happened Oct 27 15:38:00 She started laughing an' legged it. Probably to tell the whole lot below stairs Oct 27 15:38:41 So she did not actually... participate... Oct 27 15:38:52 * HH looks at him, frowning Oct 27 15:38:57 What the fuck, man?! Oct 27 15:39:37 Before you realised it wasn't Inga, you moron Oct 27 15:40:10 Hell no Oct 27 15:40:18 * Morgan nods Oct 27 15:40:21 Have you told Inga? Oct 27 15:40:40 Nope Oct 27 15:40:54 Going to? Oct 27 15:41:27 Dunno... Oct 27 15:41:50 I would if I were you Oct 27 15:43:53 Would your wife take it well that some other woman watched y' doin' that? Oct 27 15:44:09 * Morgan looks at him Oct 27 15:44:31 She'd take it well that I was honest with her. And then she'd laugh her backside off at me Oct 27 15:44:54 Like while yer married, to her, not with Dietlinde, obviously Oct 27 15:45:49 Obviously. Oct 27 15:46:16 You reck'n I should tell Inga then? Oct 27 15:48:14 I do. I would anyway Oct 27 15:49:27 * HH nods Oct 27 15:49:47 She'll be angry for about eight seconds before she starts realising how embarrassed you are Oct 27 15:50:01 *he nods* Later then. Bloody hell. Oct 27 15:50:33 * Morgan nods Oct 27 15:50:47 I get why you wanted to leave quickly Oct 27 15:50:51 * HH nods Oct 27 15:51:09 Bad enough when I told 'em in Tawstock I wanted to milk myself... Oct 27 15:51:29 * Morgan nods Oct 27 15:51:32 That was funny Oct 27 15:51:49 Mebbie this'll be funny when I'm fifty Oct 27 15:52:15 Its funny now. Just not to you Oct 27 15:52:32 Fuck you, asshole. *he's smiling though* Oct 27 15:54:03 I love you man Oct 27 15:54:11 Love you too Oct 27 15:54:48 *he looks around at the road ahead* Very hospitable hospitality I guess. Bed, bring you off, breakfast. Oct 27 15:55:05 Did you know its common in noble houses? Oct 27 15:55:11 * HH looks at him Oct 27 15:55:15 You what?! Oct 27 15:56:02 * Morgan nods Oct 27 15:56:28 Glad to know I'm not the only one who didn't Oct 27 15:57:15 You can just travel round noble houses, get fed and a bed for free, and a little rubby-rub on the side? Oct 27 15:58:23 I think its expected you pay the maid... but... essentially... Oct 27 15:58:43 Whoa, man. Privileged life there Oct 27 15:59:07 I was bloody outraged when Edward told me Oct 27 15:59:14 Why? Oct 27 15:59:24 * HH laughs Oct 27 15:59:37 Hang on, is it b'cause you missed out? Oct 27 15:59:58 No! Oct 27 16:00:07 * HH laughs more Oct 27 16:01:05 Prob'ly not missing much, man. I've known a few girls nearly yanked little Heinzharold clean off m' body Oct 27 16:01:54 Little huh... anyway, shut up, Varick wants to ride with us Oct 27 16:02:02 * HH laughs Oct 27 16:02:21 Edward knows all about it, does he? Oct 27 16:03:20 * Morgan nods Oct 27 16:03:24 Absolutely he does Oct 27 16:03:36 Before I get Varick... I wanted to thank you Oct 27 16:04:07 What, for making such an ass of myself an' keeping you amused? Oct 27 16:04:53 For not making an issue of me and Edward bonding.... For helping me through it all Oct 27 16:05:02 * HH looks perplexed Oct 27 16:05:17 You're brothers, man. I'm not jealous Oct 27 16:05:44 Aye well... me and you, we're close as that Oct 27 16:06:03 Yeah, an I want you to be 'appy Oct 27 16:07:17 I got you, how could I not be. I see Dietlinde and Jana in my dreams and... its hard but I manage... I have a dream where I hurt you and I'm a wreck about it... Oct 27 16:08:05 That thing where I caught you humping Molly again? Oct 27 16:11:36 * Morgan nods Oct 27 16:12:15 Got her pregnant. Rosie thought it was you... couldn't let you lose two friendships through my actions Oct 27 16:12:32 Unlucky man Oct 27 16:12:53 * Morgan shrugs Oct 27 16:13:05 My doing. Anyway, even now, it hurts Oct 27 16:13:18 * HH shakes his head Oct 27 16:13:58 No need, you didn't do anything.., And even if ya did, seems like you an' Molly are just this unstoppable force, like magnets Oct 27 16:16:28 * Morgan nods Oct 27 16:16:40 but... it shows how much you mean to me. Get it? Oct 27 16:16:57 Don't need to show me, man, I already knew Oct 27 16:17:46 * Morgan nods, rolling his shoulders Oct 27 16:17:50 I'm gonna grab Varick Oct 27 16:18:06 /me frowns "hang on...this hand-job hospitality thing... this goes on at Die Dauerhaftigkeit?" Oct 27 16:18:43 Apparently Oct 27 16:19:02 Ohhhh... yeah, that explains it... Oct 27 16:19:21 Explains what? Oct 27 16:20:45 Remember the night b'fore your wedding an' there was a nursemaid looking after Varick that you sent me to relieve? Oct 27 16:21:01 * Morgan nods Oct 27 16:21:06 She offered to really relieve you? Oct 27 16:22:15 When I told her what you'd sent me for, she looked at me an' said "If you like, in the morning I can do the same for you". I said no, wouldn't be needed, you an' I could manage between the two of us Oct 27 16:22:29 /me starts chuckling Oct 27 16:22:48 Maybe she just liked.... Oh god, can you imagine what the gossip would've been next day? Oct 27 16:22:57 * HH nods Oct 27 16:23:33 Thank god we were so busy... b'sides, all that blood on th' sheet woulda distracted them by the afternoon Oct 27 16:23:43 * Morgan nods Oct 27 16:23:47 Aye, I hope so Oct 27 16:24:04 * Morgan grumbles Oct 27 16:24:11 Should've insisted Edward have to endure that too Oct 27 16:24:56 From what I hear, he had his own problems t' worry about Oct 27 16:25:16 Oh? Oct 27 16:25:42 Heard some whispering about him needing to be slowed down, if y' get my drift Oct 27 16:25:51 * Morgan nods Oct 27 16:26:32 That must be... unpleasant, afterwards Oct 27 16:26:41 Whysat? Oct 27 16:26:53 Imagine having to apologise for that Oct 27 16:27:09 Nah, reckon it'd be simple Oct 27 16:27:39 Oh? Oct 27 16:28:18 Just tell 'er it's her fault for being mind-blowingly beautiful, then sort her out too Oct 27 16:29:30 Not bad man, not bad Oct 27 16:29:43 Aint your mind thats blown though Oct 27 16:30:18 Yeah, but you can't tell a woman she's ball-blowingly beautiful! Oct 27 16:31:08 * Morgan shrugs Oct 27 16:31:13 Wouldn't surprise me of you Oct 27 16:31:28 I might do it, just t' see her face Oct 27 16:32:22 Let me know when, I'll make sure Molly has bandages available Oct 27 16:32:30 * HH nods Oct 27 16:32:40 I'm much braver than you! Oct 27 16:33:15 * Morgan nods Oct 27 16:33:18 No doubt Oct 27 16:34:16 * HH nods "Go on and get yer boy, prob'ly all need a nature stop anyhow" Oct 27 16:35:17 * Morgan nods Oct 27 16:35:19 Alright man Oct 27 16:37:08 * Morgan goes back to the coach Oct 27 16:38:08 *They do this. He doesn’t get a moment to talk to Molly. The weather is better, and for a few hours Varick rides with him whilst the ladies can be heard giggling in the coach* Oct 27 16:38:12 * HH is now known as Varick Oct 27 16:38:26 Do you miss everyone now? Oct 27 16:39:15 * Morgan nods Oct 27 16:39:17 You? Oct 27 16:39:43 A bit, but I want to see the new ship and Captain Ulysses and Sorgi too Oct 27 16:39:50 * Morgan nods Oct 27 16:39:51 Me too Oct 27 16:40:32 Do they have cats in Capperlucia? Oct 27 16:41:59 I would imagine so... cats are most places Oct 27 16:43:13 * Varick nods Oct 27 16:43:28 That will be fun. Will they have a cat we can take home? Oct 27 16:44:31 I don't know... I'm not sure it'd appreciate leaving a hot place like that for somewhere with snow like here Oct 27 16:46:07 * Varick nods sadly. It's a few minutes before he says Oct 27 16:46:11 Papa! Oct 27 16:46:34 What? Oct 27 16:46:38 * Morgan looks around rapidly Oct 27 16:46:40 We could knit it some clothes and some booties! Oct 27 16:47:03 Uhhh... yes maybe we could Oct 27 16:47:10 * Varick nods Oct 27 16:47:22 And we will call him... Catterlucia. Oct 27 16:47:38 Oh... oh I like that a lot Oct 27 16:47:48 * Varick smiles, looking proud Oct 27 16:47:58 [I've gotten to the bottom of this morning. Its nothing to worry about really] Oct 27 16:48:21 [mmm... was it what you thought?] Oct 27 16:48:32 [More or less, yes] Oct 27 16:48:47 * Morgan nods, looking round slowly Oct 27 16:49:10 [alright, my love... maybe I'll ride with you after lunch and you can fill me in properly?] Oct 27 16:49:25 [aye, maybe] Oct 27 16:50:43 *The land is still recovering. He and Varick chat easily, but the boy is also content to look around. A little before Morgan ideally would stop, Faulk announces they will have lunch in the village that they are in* Oct 27 16:52:31 *Claudia is riding next to Morgan, and checks her watch. Then she raises her eyebrows at him* Oct 27 16:53:01 * Morgan shrugs Oct 27 16:53:15 He's like the complete opposite of my father Oct 27 16:53:28 C: Why is that? Oct 27 16:53:52 You not recall the trip here? Up and out first thing, push on until after dark.... Oct 27 16:57:11 * Varick is now known as Claudia Oct 27 16:57:44 That is my preferred way to travel. All this lingering doesn't get you there quick enough Oct 27 16:57:55 * Morgan nods Oct 27 16:58:01 I know Oct 27 16:58:29 * Claudia gets down, tending the horses whilst the others go in Oct 27 16:58:33 How are you now? Oct 27 16:59:20 I'm alright... Oct 27 16:59:27 * Claudia watches him Oct 27 16:59:31 Sure? Oct 27 16:59:43 * Morgan smiles slightly Oct 27 17:00:05 Sure. I didn't expect leaving my family behind to be so hard, and the nightmare didn't help, but I'm alright Oct 27 17:00:14 * Claudia nods Oct 27 17:00:30 You and Heinzharold talked about it? Oct 27 17:01:02 * Morgan nods Oct 27 17:02:26 Good. Go on, I'll deal with this... *she looks towards the door* where is _she_ going? Oct 27 17:03:19 * Morgan looks round Oct 27 17:03:21 *Stef is alone, coming out of the Inn and walking away from it* Oct 27 17:03:33 I'll go find out Oct 27 17:03:57 * Morgan heads for Stef Oct 27 17:06:22 * Claudia is now known as Stef Oct 27 17:06:29 * Stef smiles when she sees him Oct 27 17:07:29 Hello, Morgan, how are you? Oct 27 17:08:17 I've had worse days... how're you? Oct 27 17:09:33 * Stef nods Oct 27 17:10:00 I am well. This is where Axel and I got married. I am going to the church to light a candle Oct 27 17:10:35 Oh, I see. Should you not be accompanied? Oct 27 17:11:04 It's just around the back of the building, and it's quiet here Oct 27 17:12:17 * Morgan looks around before nodding Oct 27 17:12:27 Alright... Oct 27 17:12:27 * Stef smiles gently "you can accompany me for your own sake" Oct 27 17:12:34 * Morgan nods again Oct 27 17:12:42 Aye, if you don't mind... I'll not intrude Oct 27 17:13:02 * Stef smiles, starting walking again Oct 27 17:13:15 * Morgan walks beside her Oct 27 17:13:41 Kristofer and I got married in Sennelager, where Axel is buried Oct 27 17:15:06 There is something symbolic in that? Oct 27 17:15:33 No, Axel wanted him to marry me right away, and that was where we were camped Oct 27 17:16:20 * Morgan nods Oct 27 17:16:25 I see Oct 27 17:16:30 * Stef smiles "Not very romantic, is it?" Oct 27 17:16:57 I suppose not Oct 27 17:18:13 *the church is plain and simple, and she leads the way* Kristoff was the best man, I think I told you before... or maybe I told Molly? Oct 27 17:19:18 * Morgan nods Oct 27 17:19:26 The three of you were always close Oct 27 17:19:41 They were the best of friends. I often felt a little guilty that we saw so much less of Kristoff after the wedding Oct 27 17:20:24 * Morgan nods Oct 27 17:20:29 That is normal, though Oct 27 17:20:35 * Stef nods Oct 27 17:21:08 It's hard to tear yourselves away. Kristoff and I are like that now Oct 27 17:21:36 * Morgan smiles Oct 27 17:21:37 good Oct 27 17:21:48 Did you tell him yet? Oct 27 17:21:54 * Stef smiles Oct 27 17:22:16 Yes I did. He is over-the-moon... Oct 27 17:23:35 * Morgan nods, waiting for her to continue Oct 27 17:24:08 Though I know that Axel would be happy for us, there is still a small part of me that feels disloyal in my body, that I easily cleave to one and not the other Oct 27 17:26:50 * Morgan nods Oct 27 17:26:53 That must be difficult Oct 27 17:27:36 A little. But this Stef is Kristoff's wife, and this Stef is having a baby. Oct 27 17:27:54 * Morgan nods Oct 27 17:28:16 I think Axel, being the sort of man you have described, would approve and be happy at your new direction Oct 27 17:29:39 * Stef nods Oct 27 17:30:05 Yes he would. He would be happy for us both. This is what he wanted in his last moments Oct 27 17:30:56 * Morgan nods Oct 27 17:31:58 I'll only be a few minutes *she goes to the remembrance candles, lighting one and spending a few minutes just stood there, smiling at the flickering flame. A deeper sense of peace fills the empty church* Oct 27 17:34:11 * Morgan looks round before looking to the rafters Oct 27 17:35:27 *As always, there's no sign of Theus up there. Step is back swiftly* Do you need a moment to light one? Oct 27 17:36:06 I think... I think I will... first time for everything Oct 27 17:36:22 * Stef nods, taking a seat Oct 27 17:36:45 * Morgan heads over to the candles, lighting one Oct 27 17:37:01 *it remains peaceful* Oct 27 17:38:36 * Morgan murmurs a short prayer before heading back to Stef Oct 27 17:38:41 * Stef doesn't say much until they are walking back "Your hair is starting to grow at the sides..." Oct 27 17:41:29 * Morgan nods Oct 27 17:41:38 My hair grows quickly. Apparently I don't look noble. Oct 27 17:44:12 I think you look handsome. It reminds me of Axel's Oct 27 17:44:53 * Morgan nods before glancing at her Oct 27 17:45:08 Handsome? Tell me, my lady, do you have difficulty seeing things normally? Oct 27 17:46:07 * Stef smiles Oct 27 17:46:31 Molly, Mina, Inga, and I are all in agreement Oct 27 17:47:22 Inga is polite, thats all Oct 27 17:47:37 That is not the reason. And yes, we _do_ talk about all our husbands all the time. Oct 27 17:49:14 * Morgan nods Oct 27 17:49:40 I know. Molly tells me she and Inga are always talking about myself and HeinzHarold, so its no surprise thats a common conversation among women Oct 27 17:51:45 * Stef nods Oct 27 17:52:05 She tells me you want some of her hair put into your braids Oct 27 17:52:43 * Morgan nods slightly Oct 27 17:52:50 Aye Oct 27 17:53:48 * Morgan glances at her Oct 27 17:53:52 You think that a bad idea? Oct 27 17:54:11 * Stef shakes her head Oct 27 17:54:31 No, I think it is beautifully touching and will mean much to Molly Oct 27 17:54:40 * Morgan nods slowly Oct 27 17:55:53 I'm glad you think so Oct 27 17:57:14 * Stef smiles Oct 27 17:57:31 I can do that for you before you leave if you would like? Oct 27 17:57:42 * Morgan nods Oct 27 17:57:47 Please, if you're sure you don't mind Oct 27 17:58:09 Of course not. Do you wish to surprise her with it? Oct 27 17:58:50 Be a little tough, getting hair from her by surprise Oct 27 17:59:26 Not if you do it whilst she sleeps Oct 27 18:00:01 I'm not... sure... about that... Oct 27 18:02:19 * Stef nods "I can do it whenever we are stopped somewhere" Oct 27 18:02:35 Having had my hair taken without my consent, I am reluctant to do that Oct 27 18:02:53 Have you already asked her for some? Oct 27 18:04:02 She was happy to do so Oct 27 18:05:15 * Stef nods Oct 27 18:05:19 There we are then Oct 27 18:05:46 * Morgan nods Oct 27 18:07:59 * Stef touches a few inches up from her nape "take it from about here, it'll disturb her hairstyles least" Oct 27 18:08:19 * Morgan nods Oct 27 18:08:26 Alright... I'll see what I can do Oct 27 18:12:56 ACTION nods, heading into the Inn where the others are already eating. The food is hot and nice, and they take extras with them for the next few hours, due in Westfeld after dark, the next town over from Fischler. They get sorted out, Fuchs riding, HH in the coach with Inga, Varick, His Grace, and Stef. Molly gets mounted up in front of Morgan, Oct 27 18:12:56 her modified trousers making riding astride easy, big cloak on top. Oct 27 18:15:49 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Oct 27 18:16:11 * Stef has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Oct 27 19:10:20 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Oct 27 19:29:33 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Oct 27 19:45:12 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Oct 27 19:48:17 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Oct 27 21:24:31 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Oct 27 21:24:36 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Oct 27 21:25:23 How are you, my love? Oct 27 21:25:45 I'm alright blossom Oct 27 21:26:21 * MollyK snuggles back against him. The way ahead of them seems clear, riding point Oct 27 21:26:42 I rather miss you when we do not ride this way Oct 27 21:26:48 Do you? Oct 27 21:26:56 * MollyK nods Oct 27 21:27:30 But I know you wouldn't want me out here in the rain and sleet Oct 27 21:28:51 No, I would not like to see you suffering in that weather Oct 27 21:29:07 * MollyK nods Oct 27 21:29:15 This is much nicer Oct 27 21:31:13 * Morgan nods Oct 27 21:31:14 I agree Oct 27 21:31:22 And you, my love, do you miss me when I am in the carriage and you are out here alone? Oct 27 21:31:41 * Morgan nods Oct 27 21:31:51 Though I am more comfortable that you are safe in there Oct 27 21:32:07 You feel I am not safe out here? Oct 27 21:33:23 I feel you are safer in there... but that is doesn't take into account your ability or mine Oct 27 21:33:54 We are a special kind of trouble, hmm? Oct 27 21:34:45 * Morgan nods Oct 27 21:34:47 Yes we are Oct 27 21:35:01 Usually when riding too! Oct 27 21:36:04 * Morgan nods Oct 27 21:36:08 indeed Oct 27 21:36:28 Just not with these escorts! So, what happened with Heinzharold? Oct 27 21:36:41 * MollyK fidgets again, getting more comfortable Oct 27 21:37:21 Wasn't enough room in the bed with Inga, so he wandered into his own room overnight... half asleep and warm, didn't think to take clothes Oct 27 21:37:31 * MollyK giggles Oct 27 21:37:47 I can honestly say I have never done that, but alright... Oct 27 21:38:02 * Morgan nods Oct 27 21:39:34 When he woke up, he was... uhhh... aroused, and decided to make use of it, noticing there was a fire and someone stoking it, he assumed it was Inga, and she offered to, lets say, assist him. Nothing happened, and as soon as he realised he bolted from the room Oct 27 21:39:56 * MollyK laughs Oct 27 21:40:04 Oh no, poor Heinzharold! Oct 27 21:45:22 * Morgan nods Oct 27 21:45:28 And thats when I encountered him Oct 27 21:46:03 Your guess was quite close. What were your clues? Oct 27 21:46:53 A smirk on a maids face Oct 27 21:48:23 Was it that made that offered? Oct 27 21:48:27 Maid* Oct 27 21:48:57 I don't know... but every servant who saw him had that same look as we got ready to go Oct 27 21:49:31 Oh dear! It is supposed to stay discreet if you offer that as a Friendly Maid Oct 27 21:50:45 Are we terribly surprised, in that place? Oct 27 21:51:11 No, I rather suppose not! I bet he was surprised though! Oct 27 21:51:52 * Morgan nods Oct 27 21:52:08 I did explain to him about those sort of... services... he was as stunned as I was Oct 27 21:54:31 Really? I assumed Inga would have told him, it's the sort of th-... never mind. I am rather glad you didn't sleep in your own room! Oct 27 21:55:17 Nevermind?! Oct 27 21:55:36 * MollyK turns to look over her shoulder Oct 27 21:55:42 What, my love? Oct 27 21:56:30 Leaving a statement like that halfway through, how am I supposed to concentrate wondering what she'd do with that sort of thing Oct 27 21:57:18 You are wondering if Inga offered that sort of relief to your Father's guests, or any of the family? Oct 27 21:57:39 No, I don't see that at all Oct 27 21:58:11 No, she didn't. She did that with Heinrich, but that was during their courtship Oct 27 22:01:57 * Morgan nods Oct 27 22:03:11 That is reasonable Oct 27 22:03:11 What were you wondering? Oct 27 22:03:24 Where your statement was going... Oct 27 22:03:57 Ohh... just about what they like in the bedroom. I am somewhat surprised you approve of that for courting couples... Oct 27 22:07:27 * Morgan takes on a pious look Oct 27 22:07:29 I don't Oct 27 22:07:43 I don't... you didn't with Evie, did you? Oct 27 22:07:55 Absolutely not. Oct 27 22:08:00 * MollyK nods Oct 27 22:09:08 Alright... the first night you and I did that, you told me to slow down and that it was new to us both. I assumed you meant you and I doing that together. Oct 27 22:10:38 Are you sure you wish to have this discussion now, out here? Oct 27 22:10:49 * MollyK sighs Oct 27 22:11:09 No, I don't think we need to, my love. It matters not Oct 27 22:12:00 It seems to. I will tell you all, if that is what you wish, but I know you find it difficult talking about Dietlinde Oct 27 22:13:03 I... I don't know. I am not sure I need to know, it's plain nosy really, and it makes no difference to our marriage at all. Oct 27 22:14:10 Dietlinde and I did... that... a couple of times, but thats about it... Eiblinn, no, nothing like that ever happened Oct 27 22:15:11 * MollyK nods, quiet a moment Oct 27 22:19:27 Do you think you'd be curious if I had had any past experience? Oct 27 22:20:10 Undoubtedly. And jealous Oct 27 22:21:11 Even if I had been happily married to someone very important? Oct 27 22:21:29 Like I am now? Oct 27 22:22:37 * MollyK glances back at him with a smile Oct 27 22:23:20 I am glad you think so. But jealousy is different when your spouse has been married to someone they love so much... Oct 27 22:23:41 * Morgan frowns Oct 27 22:23:44 How? Oct 27 22:23:54 * MollyK thinks a moment Oct 27 22:24:14 It's like... sacred ground. Oct 27 22:25:55 I see Oct 27 22:26:11 That troubles you? Oct 27 22:26:58 I'm not sure... more that I am troubled you do not feel you can express it if you feel it Oct 27 22:28:32 It is not a feeling I want to feel. Jealousy is not a pleasant emotion, it is resentful. How could I be good enough to love you if I could feel resentful to the woman who meant everything to you? Oct 27 22:29:41 You do realise you mean as much to me? I thought I'd made it all clear in Graben Oct 27 22:30:10 Has anything I have said contradicted that? Oct 27 22:31:12 No... no I suppose not Oct 27 22:32:49 I do not doubt that I am that important to you. I am trying to explain how I have not ever been jealous of her, even when I have doubted my place at your side in the past Oct 27 22:33:51 * Morgan nods Oct 27 22:34:48 It is not that you do not inspire jealousy in me, because I have been horribly jealous at times, but never of Dietlinde Oct 27 22:35:18 What has caused such jealousy? Oct 27 22:36:15 You and Evie... my perceptions of what was occurring with you and Captain Tsaylur... even your former attraction to Mina at one time Oct 27 22:37:02 I see... did you tell her I was attracted to her when I was younger? Oct 27 22:37:36 Inga accidentally let it slip the night before the wedding Oct 27 22:38:19 I see. Oct 27 22:38:38 She was very flattered Oct 27 22:39:09 God, why? Oct 27 22:40:04 Because you are handsome, kind, gentle, and thoughtful Oct 27 22:40:51 * Morgan snorts Oct 27 22:43:07 I am not jealous now... you would not have suited... Mina needed someone who would feel her up whilst kissing in the garden of her Father's townhouse... Oct 27 22:44:31 I beg your pardon?! Oct 27 22:45:20 * MollyK puts her hand over her breast "you know... feeling her up... putting hands on her body" Oct 27 22:45:41 Yes, I know what you meant... I just... I didn't... nevermind Oct 27 22:45:48 * MollyK giggles Oct 27 22:46:01 ... didn't imagine Mina would permit that? Oct 27 22:46:08 * Morgan nods Oct 27 22:47:10 Oh yes... but they did think they would be marrying fairly soon, so I don't think that is too awful. It was never beneath clothing Oct 27 22:47:25 * Morgan nods Oct 27 22:47:41 I suppose so. Did I tell you she finally let that mask of hers drop a little? Oct 27 22:48:21 With you? Oct 27 22:48:36 * Morgan nods Oct 27 22:49:23 What did she say? Oct 27 22:51:22 We were talking about poetry, and how Edward used to write her poems and she says, quite casually, that towards the end, they just became obscene. Oct 27 22:52:23 * MollyK nods Oct 27 22:52:32 Mmhmm, they are Oct 27 22:52:47 You've seen them? Oct 27 22:53:05 One or two Oct 27 22:53:12 I see Oct 27 22:53:53 You object to that? Oct 27 22:55:10 No, love... Anyway, I'd been fairly sure all day she was actually quite... not dirty minded, but adept at throwing innuendo... but it still took me by surprise Oct 27 22:55:23 * MollyK smiles Oct 27 22:57:17 Mina is immaculate in how she behaves publicly, but she is still a woman, and Edward sparks something special in her... Oct 27 22:58:12 * Morgan nods Oct 27 22:58:26 I am... grateful that she has chosen to let me see the less formal side of her Oct 27 22:59:12 *she nods* Back in Fischler, after they had been reunited and he was taking her to town to say goodbye, they talked about Edward no longer getting pleasure from other women... Oct 27 22:59:26 Oh? Oct 27 23:01:58 They were riding like this, and he said about how he'd been wishing it was her all this time. Then he put his hand on her and whispered that that was the only place he would be taking his pleasure from then on Oct 27 23:04:30 Romantic... wish Oct 27 23:04:37 * MollyK nods Oct 27 23:04:59 She apparently said "apart from in your own hand" Oct 27 23:05:04 * MollyK giggles Oct 27 23:05:27 Oh good lord Oct 27 23:05:32 * MollyK nods Oct 27 23:05:53 And he countered with a similar sentiment Oct 27 23:06:10 I cannot see from here, are you blushing? Oct 27 23:06:31 Just a little Oct 27 23:06:38 * MollyK nods Oct 27 23:07:49 Their early relationship was two and a half years, and they were very often separated for months on end, they spoke about those things in euphemism by letter even then Oct 27 23:08:33 * Morgan nods Oct 27 23:09:26 Mina is not as straight-laced as you imagined? Oct 27 23:09:55 Not even slightly Oct 27 23:10:21 That explains a little more about how they are more compatible than it might seem? Oct 27 23:10:38 Aye, it does Oct 27 23:10:49 That is good, don't you think? Oct 27 23:11:44 Aye, it is. I had a... I don't know, a thought popped into my head that was, I'm certain, not mine. Oct 27 23:12:07 Oh? About Mina? Oct 27 23:12:41 * MollyK now sounds slightly jealous Oct 27 23:13:32 No no... when I was reading the story to Varick, and everyone was laughing... out of nowhere, this thought... 'she would approve of this'. It wasn't something I thought, I'm certain of that. Oct 27 23:14:15 Hmm... interesting... Oct 27 23:14:31 It referred to Dietlinde? Oct 27 23:14:37 I believe so Oct 27 23:15:04 And she would have? You with your family, happy? Oct 27 23:15:30 I reckon so. She would not want me being... as I was. Oct 27 23:17:11 No, definitely not Oct 27 23:17:44 I have no idea, my love, but it seems like a nice thought Oct 27 23:17:56 * Morgan nods, quiet for a moment Oct 27 23:18:07 Did Edward make any mention of the thing I left in his desk? Oct 27 23:18:22 No, do I need to remind him? Oct 27 23:18:39 Please. Its just a sketch. Oct 27 23:19:04 Oh? I hope not like the one you first did of me... *she giggles* Oct 27 23:19:33 * Morgan sends her an image of the first time Edward saw Florrie, peeking over the top of an enormous sunflower head Oct 27 23:19:41 Thats Sally, by the way Oct 27 23:19:53 It looks like Florrie to me Oct 27 23:20:15 The sunflower... Sally Sunflower Oct 27 23:20:31 Mmhmm Oct 27 23:20:52 It's lovely, liebes herz, He will love it Oct 27 23:21:08 I hope so. Oct 27 23:22:23 * MollyK nods Oct 27 23:22:45 Will Heinzharold tell Inga about the Friendly Maid? Oct 27 23:23:04 I advised that he does... I figure she'll be angry for a few seconds before she starts laughing Oct 27 23:23:28 Why would she be angry? Nothing happened? Oct 27 23:24:31 I know but... that initial shock of someone else seeing him doing that, offering to help... would you not be angry? Oct 27 23:25:15 Hold on! You did not say the maid had seen him?! You said he was amorous and wanting to do something about it Oct 27 23:26:07 And was actively when said maid, who he thought was Inga, offered to help... of course, what he said might be more... problematic for a moment Oct 27 23:26:27 He was under the sheets though..." Oct 27 23:26:29 ? Oct 27 23:27:02 Not as far as I recall... since he thought it was Inga, he had no need for modesty... Oct 27 23:27:13 Oh my goodness! Oct 27 23:27:18 * MollyK giggles Oct 27 23:28:48 What was it he said? Oct 27 23:30:04 Pity you're dressed, but you can bring that pretty face here... Oct 27 23:30:40 Well that's nothing bad Oct 27 23:32:49 No, but... embarrassing Oct 27 23:33:12 That seems sweet, he wanted to see Inga better Oct 27 23:33:51 * MollyK doesn't sound to be teasing him, she sounds genuine Oct 27 23:35:23 Uhhh... no... thats not where her face would have been... Oct 27 23:35:51 Oh, to use her mouth upon him? Oct 27 23:37:30 Aye... or to spend himself on her face... Oct 27 23:37:43 * MollyK tilts her head Oct 27 23:38:05 Oh... hmm... Oct 27 23:38:25 Hmm? Oct 27 23:38:38 I had not heard of that before Oct 27 23:38:50 I do not recall where I heard it... Oct 27 23:39:08 On a ship, I'd imagine? Oct 27 23:39:17 Much more than likely Oct 27 23:39:31 * MollyK nods Oct 27 23:40:02 I... yes... alright, that is something he probably didn't want to say to a maid! Oct 27 23:40:16 Indeed Oct 27 23:41:04 Yes, I would be extremely jealous at another woman seeing you do that and having you say you wanted to do that with her! Oct 27 23:41:45 * Morgan nods Oct 27 23:41:51 Before the laughing, right? Oct 27 23:41:59 * MollyK thinks Oct 27 23:42:10 No, I'd be too distracted to laugh I think Oct 27 23:42:53 Oh? Oct 27 23:43:18 I'd be busy imagining doing that. Then a little while later I would laugh Oct 27 23:44:32 You do not think he should keep it from Inga? Oct 27 23:45:14 No, I think that would be wrong. It was an accident on his part Oct 27 23:45:38 * Morgan nods Oct 27 23:46:00 She might be a little jealous maybe, but I am sure she would forgive the mistake Oct 27 23:47:12 * Morgan nods Oct 27 23:47:15 I would hope so Oct 27 23:47:18 And you, mon petit chou, would you be very jealous if a servant saw me touching myself that way? Oct 27 23:47:46 * Morgan nods Oct 27 23:47:48 Yes, I would Oct 27 23:48:48 Mmm... what a pity it is not just you and I on our journey, I suspect I could manage it beneath my cloak Oct 27 23:49:24 I imagine you probably could, being the inventive sort you are Oct 27 23:49:55 It would not be the first time we've done something that way on horseback, would it? Oct 27 23:50:52 No, it would Oct 27 23:52:43 * MollyK shivers a moment "our ride alone from Die Dauerhaftigkeit to Innesbruck last month... If I had know Heinzharold was left in a predicament I'd have arranged for them to have the coach to themselves a while" Oct 27 23:53:25 * Morgan nods Oct 27 23:53:48 * MollyK giggles "unless he finished the job himself" Oct 27 23:54:43 Couldn't say Oct 27 23:55:21 Couldn't, or wouldn't? *she laughs* Oct 27 23:56:37 Couldn't, in this instance Oct 27 23:56:54 * MollyK nods Oct 27 23:57:21 There is little I wouldn't tell you Oct 27 23:58:21 What wouldn't you tell me? Oct 27 23:59:00 I don't know, but it's never wise to be too absolute. There are no things you would not tell me?
