**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Nov 2 00:00:18 2022 Nov 02 00:00:18 I would never turn you away, but I might not feel as sanguine as Stef does Nov 02 00:00:41 * Morgan nods Nov 02 00:01:25 But I want you to be confident in the fact that I have chosen to make love to you... not because the act will get me off Nov 02 00:01:47 * MollyK nods Nov 02 00:01:57 I do trust you, my love Nov 02 00:02:34 I know Nov 02 00:03:06 Something to ponder? Nov 02 00:03:11 * Morgan nods Nov 02 00:03:12 I think so Nov 02 00:04:23 * MollyK sighs a little "it's always so complicated" Nov 02 00:04:59 I think... perhaps it doesn't need to be Nov 02 00:05:28 How so? Might you hold me a little tighter? Nov 02 00:06:08 * Morgan nods, pulling her closer Nov 02 00:06:23 * MollyK relaxes a little Nov 02 00:06:40 As I have explained before, I have been letting her go... it is you I wish to be with, to have Nov 02 00:08:57 I have never asked that of you, I hope you can see that. It is important that you know I have never tried to push into her space in your life and heart Nov 02 00:10:07 Oh my love, of course I know that Nov 02 00:10:31 * MollyK nods. She sounds a little relieved Nov 02 00:11:26 Good. I have had some moments where I have wondered if it might seem that way Nov 02 00:11:37 Recently? Nov 02 00:11:50 * MollyK thinks Nov 02 00:13:25 Sewing the handkerchief... sometimes when I have expressed the depths of my feelings... I suppose very occassionally when we talk about my giving you babies Nov 02 00:14:06 I see Nov 02 00:14:16 * MollyK sighs Nov 02 00:14:26 I have disappointed you? Nov 02 00:14:47 No... I am disappointed I have not made you more comfortable in expressing and doing those things Nov 02 00:15:50 You were not ready, and I had not said that I worried you would feel I am trying to push her further from you Nov 02 00:16:52 * Morgan nods Nov 02 00:16:55 But I am now Nov 02 00:17:34 Ready? Or worried? Nov 02 00:18:45 ready Nov 02 00:19:50 * MollyK nods Nov 02 00:20:27 And I am now holding you back instead of gently encouraging your healing? Nov 02 00:21:01 I did not say that Nov 02 00:21:31 I was rather mulling that over out loud Nov 02 00:21:51 HeinzHarold thinks you worry too much at it Nov 02 00:22:06 Does he? Nov 02 00:22:34 * Morgan nods Nov 02 00:22:49 The extent to which that song in the tavern affected you... Nov 02 00:23:21 * MollyK nods Nov 02 00:23:29 I can see that Nov 02 00:24:59 * Morgan nods Nov 02 00:25:47 *they get on to the drive* Nov 02 00:27:24 He's probably right. I still am careful with my words sometimes, try not to pry Nov 02 00:28:18 I will answer any question you have Nov 02 00:28:30 I know, my love Nov 02 00:30:45 Most recently, the questions are to do with Dietlinde's pregnancies, and I know some of that must still be raw Nov 02 00:31:01 * Morgan nods Nov 02 00:31:23 But you are gentle... I am still coming to terms with it, but I will not hide behind it Nov 02 00:32:14 Then you would prefer I ask anything that comes to mind than to try to shield you from my nosiness? Nov 02 00:32:55 If it would help you, yes Nov 02 00:33:24 Were you ever as broody as you are now? Nov 02 00:34:25 Straight into it, hmmm? Once I knew Jana was coming, I got very broody... though it was a desire for the time to pass quickly so I could meet my child... now feels a bit different Nov 02 00:34:56 I... I thought you wanted me to ask? Nov 02 00:35:08 * Morgan nods Nov 02 00:35:16 I did not expect it right now, thats all... carry on Nov 02 00:37:32 Did you know quite early, or not til the quickening ((she had a moderate amount of morning sickness, I think it was about 2 months in that they put two and two together)) Nov 02 00:38:23 It was a couple of months before we figured it out... she was a little sick to begin with but nothing to make it absolutely obvious Nov 02 00:38:49 * MollyK nods Nov 02 00:38:53 What feels different now about your broodiness? Nov 02 00:40:54 I suppose... back then I knew I wanted children at some point... and then when she was pregnant it was a desire to meet Jana... right now... I want children _now_. I feel a stronger broodiness, and we haven't even started down that path Nov 02 00:41:13 * MollyK nods Nov 02 00:41:49 Perhaps that is because you can better anticipate what having a baby will be like? Nov 02 00:42:15 Maybe... I'm not sure Nov 02 00:42:51 Did her being pregnant change things between you? Nov 02 00:43:10 If anything it made me even gentler Nov 02 00:43:29 As a person? Nov 02 00:44:40 * Morgan nods Nov 02 00:44:41 And in bed Nov 02 00:44:49 * MollyK nods Nov 02 00:45:12 Because you were worried, or because your attraction had changed? Nov 02 00:45:46 Worried. I was always on edge that any action I took would cause her to lose the baby Nov 02 00:45:55 * MollyK nods Nov 02 00:46:12 Is that a concern you have for the future Nov 02 00:47:38 * Morgan nods Nov 02 00:47:50 Yes it is, particularly in light of our... vigorous activities Nov 02 00:48:27 I should anticipate you will change what and how we do things? Nov 02 00:49:22 I don't know, but I would imagine so Nov 02 00:49:50 Then summer would definitely be better! Nov 02 00:50:00 Oh? Nov 02 00:50:22 There's much I wish to repeat first Nov 02 00:51:02 * Morgan nods Nov 02 00:51:17 aye... chances are it'll take a while for the herbs to wear off I assume? Nov 02 00:52:08 It's unheard of for anyone to conceive in the first three months Nov 02 00:52:16 * Morgan nods Nov 02 00:52:24 That gives us some time then Nov 02 00:52:32 * MollyK nods Nov 02 00:53:21 Should I also anticipate you will be less amorous as my body and breasts change? Nov 02 00:53:59 ummm... no Nov 02 00:54:04 No? Nov 02 00:54:07 no Nov 02 00:54:40 The question was rather an invitation to elaborate, my love Nov 02 00:55:36 I was more amorous when Dietlinde was pregnant, but more restrained. Nov 02 00:55:51 * MollyK nods thoughtfully Nov 02 00:56:25 The physical changes are not just not off-putting but actively arousing? Nov 02 00:56:34 * Morgan nods Nov 02 00:56:42 I'm not sure I can explain why, either Nov 02 00:57:35 Interesting... I very much look forward to seeing that for myself... *she sounds a bit distracted* Nov 02 00:57:44 Oh? Nov 02 01:01:11 *she sends him an image of her naked and pregnant, probably around the four or five month point, and looking side on at the small convex smoothness of her belly, breasts more prominently veined than usual, nipples bigger* Like so? Nov 02 01:01:26 * Morgan coughs quietly Nov 02 01:01:29 yes Nov 02 01:02:07 And also further along too? Nov 02 01:02:42 * Morgan nods Nov 02 01:02:44 aye Nov 02 01:02:54 * MollyK giggles Nov 02 01:03:16 But you do not need me to show you that? Nov 02 01:03:48 I don't _need_ you to, no Nov 02 01:03:58 But? Nov 02 01:04:48 I probably wouldn't _complain_ Nov 02 01:07:38 *she sends him the image of her nearer the end of a pregnancy, laid naked on her side in warm sunny grass speckled with daisies and forget-me nots, breast as veined as if they have been painted, bigger and firmer, nipples a darker pink, and her belly so round that her belly button has turned shallow, smiling, hair unbound* Nov 02 01:08:08 Like that? Nov 02 01:08:12 * Morgan clears his throat Nov 02 01:08:18 ummm... yes Nov 02 01:08:28 You are not sure? Nov 02 01:09:12 I did not say that Nov 02 01:09:52 You sound a little unsure and possibly discomfited? Nov 02 01:10:21 You have shown me something I find arousing while we are riding in public... I'm trying to be discreet Nov 02 01:11:09 My love, it's really quite dark and we would see guard's lights easily Nov 02 01:11:18 I know but... Nov 02 01:11:40 There's no one around, my love Nov 02 01:12:09 * Morgan nods Nov 02 01:13:51 I could probably change it a little to make it less so? *the image is the same, but her belly must be full term, and her solid looking breasts leak drops of milk onto the grass as if they are overflowing* Nov 02 01:14:07 Less what? Nov 02 01:14:19 Less arousing Nov 02 01:14:27 not.. really... Nov 02 01:15:01 Oh? But you were laughing the other day when I mentioned leaking milk Nov 02 01:15:52 Yes but... that does not mean I do not find it arousing... just that I find it amusing Nov 02 01:17:33 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 02 01:19:13 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 02 09:37:25 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 02 09:39:08 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Nov 02 09:52:18 * MollyK playfully says "if I had known that a few mornings ago I might not have upped the herbs that prevent lactation when I awoke to the sheets on my chest a little wet!" Nov 02 09:54:15 I don't think its necessarily the lactation love... its... the pregnancy I suppose Nov 02 09:54:26 * MollyK nods Nov 02 09:55:28 Interesting... I had just assumed you would be -less- interested but that things would return to normal once I was churched, aside from avoiding my breasts Nov 02 09:55:44 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 02 09:55:47 No, I'm afraid not Nov 02 09:56:00 Why are you afraid not? Nov 02 09:56:48 It means I will likely pester you your entire pregnancies Nov 02 09:56:58 * MollyK smiles Nov 02 09:57:05 Oh I do hope so! Nov 02 09:57:23 * Morgan shrugs slightly, looking around Nov 02 09:58:23 *all they can see is a little of the driveway from their lamp, the thin moon dimmed by the clouds* Nov 02 10:02:32 *they get to the stable where a groom offers to take their horse* Nov 02 10:05:27 * Morgan hands the horse off, rolling his shoulders Nov 02 10:05:30 Anything else? Nov 02 10:06:15 Ummm... no, nothing springs to mind Nov 02 10:07:49 * Morgan nods Nov 02 10:07:50 Alright Nov 02 10:08:13 Is there anything you wish to ask me? Nov 02 10:09:15 Not at the mom.... Does it trouble you I have had such an open conversation with Stef? Nov 02 10:10:15 * MollyK thinks "No, I don't think it does. I think it's important you are able to work through these things" Nov 02 10:11:17 * Morgan nods Nov 02 10:14:31 * MollyK takes his hand, heading into the house. There's a butler there to take their coats. The braid with her hair is likely high enough that she would not see it unless he was lower down than her Nov 02 10:19:50 *They are let straight into the dining room where Faulk and Sabine are waiting. She doesn't seem to have changed at all, still a very plain brunette with brown eyes. She smiles and curtsies at the right time. "Good evening, your Excellencies" Nov 02 10:20:51 Sabine... how are you? Nov 02 10:20:57 *Servants pull out the chairs for them and get them seated. Wine is already poured, and within moments their food is served* Nov 02 10:21:01 * MollyK is now known as Sabine Nov 02 10:22:12 I am well, thank you. How are you? *she unfolds her napkin in her lap. Meanwhile Faulk asks Molly how the service went. Sabine watches him intently* Nov 02 10:22:46 All things considered, I am well Nov 02 10:23:20 * Sabine smiles "I was pleasantly surprised to hear you were coming to dinner this evening" Nov 02 10:23:35 Oh? Nov 02 10:23:40 *Faulk starts eating, which signals that the others may start* Nov 02 10:24:41 I have a new painting here, and I recall you spent time in my hall looking at my other works Nov 02 10:25:17 * Morgan nods Nov 02 10:25:25 I had heard you were bringing one to unveil Nov 02 10:29:00 I have. His Grace wished for something new Nov 02 10:29:21 * Morgan nods Nov 02 10:31:32 I hope it will capture your attention as the others did *she smiles* Nov 02 10:31:57 * Morgan nods Nov 02 10:32:03 It will be unveiled after dinner? Nov 02 10:33:11 * Sabine nods "it will" Nov 02 10:34:16 * Morgan nods Nov 02 10:34:20 Then I look forward to it Nov 02 10:35:46 * Sabine smiles, still watching him when Faulk says "Did you enjoy the service, Morgan?" Nov 02 10:35:56 * Morgan looks at him Nov 02 10:36:51 In truth, your Grace, I found it a little difficult... it was a lovely service but I've had several nightmares about last time we were here involving the church so I was rather unsettled Nov 02 10:37:58 F: That is a shame Nov 02 10:38:06 * Morgan nods Nov 02 10:38:14 It is what it is Nov 02 10:44:50 *the conversation moves on to their travel plans, some portraits Sabine is going to paint, talk about Edward's wedding. It's surprisingly easy, but Sabine seems to watch Molly and Morgan a great deal. The food is much better than on the journey though. Once they are finished, Faulk leads the way, talking enthusiastically. In the gallery two Nov 02 10:44:50 servants wait patiently with champagne glasses for them. The room is well lit, and the covered painting is two feet across and three deep Nov 02 10:48:59 Pretty big Nov 02 10:50:47 I like to work on larger canvases Nov 02 10:51:17 The difference between painters and sketchers I suppose Nov 02 10:53:03 Do you draw? Nov 02 10:54:14 * Morgan nods Nov 02 10:54:19 My brother is the painter Nov 02 10:56:13 * Sabine watches him a moment Nov 02 10:56:39 And your drawings, do they have a darker view of the world as you professed my paintings to have? Nov 02 10:57:06 * Morgan shrugs Nov 02 10:57:19 Some of them are my nightmares.. some of them not Nov 02 10:58:09 These nightmares involving the church, have you drawn them? Nov 02 10:58:19 * Morgan nods Nov 02 10:58:26 *Faulk is showing Molly other art in his gallery* Nov 02 10:58:41 I would be very interested to see those Nov 02 11:00:13 * Morgan nods Nov 02 11:00:36 I could see if I can find the book in a while? Nov 02 11:02:26 Yes, it would be fascinating to see what can control a mind that seems to have a good control of its self usually. *she still watches him in that intent, scrutising way* Nov 02 11:04:44 You think it has control of my mind? Nov 02 11:05:08 Does it make a man who appears fearless behave fearfully? Nov 02 11:05:44 You think I appear fearless? Nov 02 11:06:20 * Sabine watches him a long, intense moment "I think you seek to project that" Nov 02 11:07:03 I'm afraid, Sabine, you're wrong. I do not seek to project that at all Nov 02 11:07:38 * Sabine doesn't seem embarrassed by that at all, if anything it seems to make her more interested Nov 02 11:07:54 And yet if you ask those around you, what would they say? Nov 02 11:09:12 I think maybe you misunderstand... When I am fearful, it shows... I don't try to hide that. I don't seek to project any fearlessness... Nov 02 11:11:25 * Sabine nods, considering slowly still. Faulk brings Molly on his arm "Our dear Duchess and I are ready, Sabine" Nov 02 11:12:30 * Sabine turns her attention finally from Morgan to the painting "Your Grace, it is called Devotion" Nov 02 11:13:06 *Molly glances at Morgan* [are you alright, my love?] Nov 02 11:14:16 [I am fine blossom] Nov 02 11:15:47 ACTION removes the cover. There is no denying that the painting is made with much skill, though the subject and tones are dark. It depicts the son of the Lord during his crucifixion, graphically nude, his manhood soft but sizable, covered by the thinnest cloth low on the hips. Blood runs from the wound in his side to drip down whilst he looks Nov 02 11:15:47 raptly towards the ground. Whilst a fully dressed crowd watch on with judging, serious expressions, a young woman is laid at his feet, both hands on a dagger in her lower belly, some blood hers, and some his, intermingled. She's nude there, but her breasts and hips are covered with rough linen. On her back, she seems to arch with pain, her eyes Nov 02 11:15:47 turned up to his gaze. And yet that expression, the way in which her body is placed, looks more like intense sexual ecstasy than just pain itself, at least to very sharp eyes. Nov 02 11:15:47 * Received a CTCP from Sabine (to #7thsea) Nov 02 11:18:27 *Faulk looks it over, nodding* Very good, Sabine. It's excellent work as always. *She smiles faintly, curtseying a little. Molly and Faulk look it over before he proclaims it reminds him of another piece and leads the redhead away. Servants give them all champagne, and Sabine looks at Morgan* Nov 02 11:19:00 Does she serve him, providing devotion and a shared pain and death, or is her self-sacrifice merely a way of achieving his love and attention, of giving her life and death a meaning? Nov 02 11:20:43 * Morgan examines the Lords face, particularly his eyes, their direction Nov 02 11:23:49 *He looks down upon the young woman intently, entirely focused on her and not the crowd around them. His expression is somewhat serene, but not happy. There's an intensity to it, perhaps even an element of satisfaction* Nov 02 11:26:21 I rather think its more than that Nov 02 11:26:28 Do you? Nov 02 11:26:41 * Morgan nods Nov 02 11:27:32 There's a satisfaction to his face, and hers... the way she's posed... there's a certain ecstasy to her that is nothing to do with faith or his death... or hers... Nov 02 11:27:52 * Sabine watches him still Nov 02 11:28:04 An interesting interpretation Nov 02 11:28:23 * Morgan shrugs noncommittally Nov 02 11:31:38 What I enjoy most about art is that it is a conversation between artist and observer. What is the artist thinking and what are they portraying, and how do those things differ from each other. How does the observer see it, and what meanings do they themselves ascribe to it, and how does knowing observers will interpret the work in a variety of ways Nov 02 11:31:38 change how the artist constructs and views their own work. Nov 02 11:32:39 * Morgan nods Nov 02 11:32:47 What _is_ your view of it? Nov 02 11:35:10 How can it have one specific meaning when what it means to hundreds of different people could yield a hundred or more meanings. Once freed to the world to be observed, whose meaning is the true one? Is it mine, as the creator? Is it the consensus of the observers, or a specific observer who feels their meaning most deeply? Nov 02 11:37:39 If one specific meaning matters so little, why your interest in mine? It matters not. Except... it does, doesn't it? Because that meaning, the perceived intent in my case and the actual intent in yours does not show the real meaning of the painting... it shows _us_. Nov 02 11:38:56 * Sabine looks in her micro expressions more intrigued than he has ever seen, and yet her general demeanour becomes even more calm and self-assured Nov 02 11:39:10 Then what do you believe the real meaning is? Nov 02 11:40:12 _that_ doesn't matter. Perhaps the real meaning is to have us expose our thoughts, the way we think. Nov 02 11:40:50 Is the meaning of art to strip us bare, to each other and ourselves, in your opinion? *she sips the champagne* Nov 02 11:41:06 That is a question for the artist Nov 02 11:41:28 As a fellow artist, is that what your drawings do for you? Nov 02 11:41:37 * Morgan smiles slightly Nov 02 11:41:57 I'm not an artist. I simply draw what I see, in one way or another Nov 02 11:43:39 Anyone who perceives the world and expresses those perceptions through any medium is an artist. Poets and dancers too, seamstresses, those who make things with their hands that are not utilitarian. Wherever there is inspiration and creation, there is art. Nov 02 11:44:46 I'm afraid I don't agree in my case Nov 02 11:45:35 Then you will show me your work and I can show you where the artist is you is strongest Nov 02 11:46:44 Will I? Nov 02 11:46:53 * Sabine smiles Nov 02 11:47:08 You stated an intent to show me your book Nov 02 11:47:41 * Morgan nods Nov 02 11:47:57 [Blossom, I'm going to grab my sketchbook] Nov 02 11:48:08 [Alright, my love] Nov 02 11:48:24 Alright... I'll go get it Nov 02 11:49:24 * Sabine nods "I will be here" Nov 02 11:49:58 * Morgan nods, putting down his glass and heading upstairs to get it Nov 02 11:50:29 * Sabine is now known as HH Nov 02 11:51:29 * HH grins from the couch where he's sat next to Inga "come t' hide from 'er already?" Nov 02 11:52:30 Come to get my sketchbook to shut her up a bit Nov 02 11:52:57 What, gonna bore her to death? Nov 02 11:53:28 Might beat her with it Nov 02 11:53:31 * Morgan finds it Nov 02 11:54:37 *he does so easily* Nov 02 11:58:50 Best get back, last time she had Molly to talk to we ended up... talking... in the stables... Nov 02 12:00:48 * HH has quit (Ping Timeout) Nov 02 12:02:10 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 02 12:02:47 * MollyK laughs, but Inga just says "It's a too cold for that tonight" Nov 02 12:02:52 * MollyK is now known as HH Nov 02 12:03:13 Not an issue really Nov 02 12:03:23 * HH is smirking Nov 02 12:03:52 I: Providing you take your cloaks and gloves it should be alright Nov 02 12:04:17 $ahhh man, she's killing me!$ Nov 02 12:04:38 Inga... I can literally heat the air around me... Nov 02 12:04:55 *she looks surprised * can you? Nov 02 12:05:33 * Morgan nods Nov 02 12:05:55 Lets say my abilities have... expanded. Nov 02 12:06:39 I: You could be naked anywhere and it wouldn't be a problem, because you could still be warm... Nov 02 12:07:05 * Morgan nods slightly Nov 02 12:07:29 I'll be back shortly Nov 02 12:07:44 Alright man Nov 02 12:07:59 * Morgan heads back downstairs Nov 02 12:08:06 *Molly and Faulk are looking at things still. Sabine is waiting for him. His book contains the fire, the Schattenmann, a couple of Varick, the loose one of Molly sighting an arrow in Atemlos, the loose one of Heinzharold senior he showed Edward, Jana grown and pregnant, and whatever else he has drawn since he left Eisen ((add whatever you like!))* Nov 02 12:08:59 * Morgan puts the one of Jana tucked at the back, out of sight Nov 02 12:09:07 ((Quite a few trees and spiders)) Nov 02 12:09:43 * HH gestures to a table Nov 02 12:09:48 Take a seat Nov 02 12:09:52 * HH is now known as Sabine Nov 02 12:09:55 * Morgan goes to it, putting the book down Nov 02 12:11:14 * Sabine looks through it slowly, studying each picture Nov 02 12:11:27 This is how you dream the Schattenmann to be? Nov 02 12:12:17 Not... exactly... Nov 02 12:14:11 The detail is remarkable. It is unusual for anyone to be able to recreate so much detail for something they imagine without substituting it with closer things they have seen. You do not fall back on the idea of it being a big spider as many do. Nov 02 12:15:46 Because its not... somewhat spider like, in this instance... Nov 02 12:16:28 You draw this with both recoiling horror and sick fascination. Nov 02 12:16:59 * Morgan shrugs slightly Nov 02 12:17:18 Do believe the Schattenmann to be real? Nov 02 12:17:36 * Sabine considers him a moment before returning her gaze to the picture Nov 02 12:17:41 I do Nov 02 12:17:55 * Morgan nods Nov 02 12:18:24 Then... I'd suggest asking yourself if I am an unusual artist, as you put it, in not substituting details for those of a spider after all... Nov 02 12:18:43 You assume I was not already asking that. Nov 02 12:19:10 I do Nov 02 12:19:20 I was. Nov 02 12:20:19 * Morgan watches her quietly Nov 02 12:20:37 * Sabine watches him back, letting the silence run and run Nov 02 12:21:44 You have a question... Nov 02 12:21:52 I have a conclusion. Nov 02 12:22:04 Oh really? And what might that be? Nov 02 12:23:25 You have seen the Schattenmann. *she flicks across the pages to the trees* You were in the schwarzenwald, it was late. Your trees look similar to each other but not quite the same. You were lost? Nov 02 12:23:50 * Morgan nods Nov 02 12:24:27 You were very close to it, to get this detail. Nov 02 12:24:51 Or I pay close attention Nov 02 12:25:13 Which, in low light, is almost impossible. Nov 02 12:25:37 * Morgan smiles slightly Nov 02 12:27:04 If you were to draw this to canvas, how would you portray it? Would you reveal the curiosity I see here, or would you make it a warning to protect others? Nov 02 12:27:54 The latter. Nov 02 12:28:17 The public Good is more important to you than your own wants Nov 02 12:28:47 And what do you think my wants are in this case? Nov 02 12:29:07 To know much more about the darker parts of the world Nov 02 12:31:22 Oh I've seen plenty of that Nov 02 12:31:40 *she continues watching him* In many there is a desire to stare into the darkness and discover what is within it, both inside and outside ourselves. Nov 02 12:33:34 I do not have such a curiosity. I know what is inside myself Nov 02 12:34:27 I think many assume so, until they surprise themselves with actions in the heat of the moment Nov 02 12:35:04 I will concede that point, but for the most part... Nov 02 12:35:48 * Sabine nods, moving to the first picture of the fire, and comparing it to later versions Nov 02 12:36:56 Look at your line strokes here. In the later drawings, they are sharper and darker. Nov 02 12:37:12 * Morgan nods Nov 02 12:37:24 Why do you think that is? Nov 02 12:38:53 * Morgan shrugs Nov 02 12:38:58 Why do you think? Nov 02 12:39:46 It speaks of an increasing anger, bitterness, or that the later ones are done in a hurry, for a quick relief from the nightmare Nov 02 12:40:40 Or both Nov 02 12:41:12 * Sabine nods Nov 02 12:41:22 Do you still draw this? Nov 02 12:42:47 * Sabine finds the last one of it, right before the page he removed where he had drawn Molly in the wet shift Nov 02 12:43:41 Now and then... I've found easier things to draw of late Nov 02 12:44:52 Let's compare something like that. *she flicks forward to the one of Molly's archery, then back to the last fire* Nov 02 12:46:41 The contrast is striking. The fire seems starkly real, despite only being drawn from nightmare, and the one of her Excellency is more whimsical, with a gentle line and smoother. Yet is still looks hurried. Nov 02 12:47:45 The fire... is drawn from memory _and_ nightmare... Nov 02 12:48:09 What does it bring you, drawing that? *she watches him not the book* Nov 02 12:50:09 Sometimes... the choice I have is between this *he taps the book* and breaking things... I choose this Nov 02 12:50:42 * Sabine nods, going to the ripped out page Nov 02 12:50:53 Was that here too, and destroyed? Nov 02 12:52:15 * Morgan smiles slightly Nov 02 12:52:18 No... Nov 02 12:53:41 That was the first easier thing to draw? Nov 02 12:55:09 Some, aye... a stolen glance... Nov 02 12:55:44 Of what? A person, a couple together? Nov 02 12:56:02 A person Nov 02 12:56:38 * Sabine smiles "it is removed. Something unrequited or forbidden?" Nov 02 12:57:02 Something private that other people do not get to see Nov 02 12:57:51 I wonder what could cause such caution when you display your pain and fears clearly in your book. Nov 02 12:58:47 * Morgan smiles slightly, saying nothing Nov 02 12:59:15 * Sabine watches him a little longer, waiting to see if the pressure of a silence makes him speak Nov 02 13:00:11 * Morgan just waits Nov 02 13:01:57 * Sabine goes a moment longer before turning to the page of the nightmare of the church, the Fischler crest with blood down it beneath the mahogany coffin, the hilt of the crested dagger just visible over the top, pretty light and stained glass behind the ominous horror Nov 02 13:02:07 What is this one? Nov 02 13:02:55 That... is a nightmare. If you look closely, you'll see my family crest on the dagger Nov 02 13:03:03 * Sabine does so Nov 02 13:03:28 This is guilt? You are responsible for the death of the occupier? Nov 02 13:04:53 No... that is my nightmare of what happened last time we were here Nov 02 13:05:06 Who's coffin is it? Nov 02 13:06:30 You cannot guess? Nov 02 13:06:40 I can assume. Nov 02 13:07:17 [I am going to retire, my love, I want to see Inga before bed] Nov 02 13:07:28 [alright my love. I will be up soon] Nov 02 13:07:49 You are aware of the events when last we were here? Nov 02 13:08:35 *there's a brief pause whilst Goodnights are said, and Faulk says he will escort Molly, leaving him and Sabine alone* Nov 02 13:08:41 To a degree, yes Nov 02 13:09:31 A member of my own family tried to kill my wife... Nov 02 13:10:29 I was aware of that. I know there was some additional problems from that, though it was kept quiet. Nov 02 13:11:07 Oh? Bit of inside information, have we? Nov 02 13:11:18 Isiah was forthcoming Nov 02 13:11:47 So what do you know? Nov 02 13:13:56 His wife decided to attempt to assassinate His Grace, Isiah, the family, your wife and son. She made good progress, but was foiled by you Nov 02 13:14:14 Interesting Nov 02 13:16:21 Why does that interest you? Nov 02 13:16:41 He said it was foiled by me? Nov 02 13:16:48 He did Nov 02 13:17:35 * Morgan nods slowly Nov 02 13:18:06 The ramifications of this things coming to light were undesirable Nov 02 13:18:33 They will not from me. I enjoy keeping secrets. Nov 02 13:19:40 I thought you might... but I was referring to why it was not made public at the time Nov 02 13:20:51 That was a sensible choice. Your drawing refers to someone with Koertig blood murdering your wife. Nov 02 13:21:09 * Morgan nods Nov 02 13:21:29 Of course it could also be argued that the dagger is mine and the person in the coffin is my cousin... Nov 02 13:22:21 That would be where the difference in perceptions of the artist and observer comes into play Nov 02 13:22:43 And I will remain as tight lipped as you were Nov 02 13:22:51 * Sabine smiles Nov 02 13:25:53 In truth, when I painted that, I could see many different dynamics and aspects. Does she torment him with her chosen pain and death whilst he endures the involuntary one? Is it about how they are alone and united in mutual pain whilst an unfeeling world looks on? Are they shamelessly revelling in the truth of humans, that there is love, pain, and Nov 02 13:25:53 death, whilst the crowd judge them for being so honest with themselves and each other Nov 02 13:27:28 And that look of, lets be honest, sexual ecstasy on her face? Nov 02 13:27:43 Is that what you see it as? Nov 02 13:28:02 Thats what it looks like to me Nov 02 13:28:15 And I'm not bad at reading peoples expressions Nov 02 13:28:18 * Sabine nods thoughtfully Nov 02 13:29:20 There are other forms of ecstasy. Pain can be ecstatic, as can religious devotion. There can be an ecstasy in sacrificing for another. Nov 02 13:29:47 * Morgan nods slowly Nov 02 13:29:48 Alright Nov 02 13:30:42 Perhaps what an artist truly seeks is to make people _feel_. What they feel depend upon how they perceive it and relate to those perceptions Nov 02 13:31:02 perhaps Nov 02 13:31:56 Many will see this as a painting about religion, and the assurance of Divine Grace from the Lord's ultimate sacrifice. Nov 02 13:32:28 I would imagine thats what would come to mind for most Nov 02 13:32:33 * Sabine nods Nov 02 13:32:36 But not you. Nov 02 13:33:24 I can see that as an aspect of it Nov 02 13:33:39 But that is not what first struck you? Nov 02 13:35:48 Not exactly... the very first thing, aside from the quality of the work, was the unwavering display of the injuries, the pain He endured at our hands, and then the sacrifice the woman was making... _then_ I noticed her expression Nov 02 13:36:28 * Sabine nods Nov 02 13:36:47 Did you find it jarring with the general theme? Shocking? Nov 02 13:37:35 No... perhaps I am just jaded from my time in conflict Nov 02 13:37:46 As are many men Nov 02 13:38:04 A risk of our former trade I'm afraid Nov 02 13:39:33 * Sabine gently shuts his sketch book "You are an artist. Once you allow yourself to appreciate that, you will even improve" Nov 02 13:40:10 * Morgan shrugs Nov 02 13:40:26 I draw for myself, not for others... not to make anyone _feel_ anything. Nov 02 13:42:17 To make yourself feel something? Or to unreel it? Nov 02 13:42:43 The latter, I suppose... to get it out of here *he taps his temple* Nov 02 13:42:57 * Sabine hands him his sketchbook Nov 02 13:43:09 Then you are an artist. Nov 02 13:43:40 If that makes you more comfortable... Nov 02 13:43:52 * Sabine smiles Nov 02 13:44:13 Why would it make me uncomfortable for you not to be? Nov 02 13:44:31 You seem quite intent on convincing me, thats all Nov 02 13:44:50 Not at all. I observe, in this instance. Nov 02 13:45:15 * Morgan nods Nov 02 13:45:44 * Sabine curtsies "Good evening, your Excellency" Nov 02 13:46:09 You'll get home alright? Nov 02 13:46:24 * Sabine nods "The coachmen take me home" Nov 02 13:46:40 Very well... good evening Sabine Nov 02 13:47:16 * Sabine goes, her air of self-assurance completely intact Nov 02 13:48:32 * Morgan gathers up his book, heading upstairs Nov 02 13:48:39 * Sabine is now known as Molly Nov 02 13:49:13 * Molly is quietly giggling with Inga, both stood in the parlour near Inga's room Nov 02 13:49:44 What are you pair up to? Nov 02 13:50:11 * Molly and Inga glance at each other before both looking vague Nov 02 13:50:15 I: Nothing. Nov 02 13:51:34 * Morgan points at his own face Nov 02 13:51:48 Spy... good at reading people... Nov 02 13:52:25 *Inga holds up a bottle of oil* Just getting something to make my skin soft Nov 02 13:52:49 * Molly glances up and away, trying not to giggle Nov 02 13:52:58 * Morgan shrugs Nov 02 13:53:02 Suit yourself Nov 02 13:53:27 * Molly is now known as HH Nov 02 13:53:56 * HH comes out, pouring some more coffee "you want one, man, or goin' to bed?" Nov 02 13:54:41 I could do with one... Nov 02 13:55:06 * HH looks at Inga "I'll be in soon, lil darlin" Nov 02 13:55:45 *Inga nods before whispering to Molly, making them both giggle. HH doesn't seem to even notice it* Nov 02 13:56:12 M: I'll go to bed too, I think, my love Nov 02 13:56:21 * Morgan rolls up his sleeves, nodding Nov 02 13:56:24 Alright blossom Nov 02 13:56:52 *Inga goes in, but Molly pauses a moment, watching him do that* Nov 02 13:57:11 * HH pours, oblivious Nov 02 13:57:34 * Morgan rolls them just above his elbows, glancing at her Nov 02 13:57:41 Everything alright? Nov 02 13:57:59 * HH blinks a moment, not looking up "hmm?" Nov 02 13:58:06 M:* Nov 02 13:58:32 I said... is everything alright? You're staring like you've just seen a wild animal Nov 02 13:59:09 *she blushes* no no, I'm fine. I'll be in our room. Nov 02 13:59:27 * HH hands him a couple Nov 02 14:00:15 Cup* Nov 02 14:01:13 * Morgan thanks him, sipping it Nov 02 14:01:49 *she goes, shutting the door gently Nov 02 14:02:01 How you doin', man? Nov 02 14:03:05 I've had worse evenings... Nov 02 14:03:17 * HH nods Nov 02 14:03:27 You gonna be sat up all night? Nov 02 14:04:22 Who told you? Nov 02 14:05:43 Just a guess Nov 02 14:06:30 Giving it some serious consideration Nov 02 14:07:29 * HH shrugs "I'll keep y' company if you need it, man" Nov 02 14:08:06 Nah, if I'm tired tomorrow I'll need you and Claudia on top form Nov 02 14:08:20 * HH nods Nov 02 14:08:53 Not sure my lil darlin would be best pleased any'ow Nov 02 14:09:02 * HH drinks his coffee Nov 02 14:09:30 No... I suspect that oil is not for making her skin soft... Nov 02 14:09:41 * HH looks confused Nov 02 14:09:44 Why? Nov 02 14:10:03 Something Molly said earlier... Nov 02 14:10:19 They hatchin' mischief? Nov 02 14:10:52 * Morgan nods Nov 02 14:10:55 Looked like it to me Nov 02 14:11:47 * HH nods "hafta see what she's up to. Sure y' don't want the company?" Nov 02 14:12:13 Go on, I'll be alright Nov 02 14:12:41 Night man Nov 02 14:12:51 g'night Nov 02 14:12:59 * HH goes in Nov 02 14:14:02 * Morgan checks the main door is locked before heading into his room Nov 02 14:14:12 * HH is now known as Molly Nov 02 14:14:25 * Molly is undressing still Nov 02 14:14:44 How was it with Sabine? Nov 02 14:14:52 Surprisingly bearable Nov 02 14:15:01 * Molly nods Nov 02 14:15:16 She wanted to see your sketches? Nov 02 14:15:34 * Morgan nods Nov 02 14:15:46 The second she found out I draw my nightmares, suddenly it was very interesting Nov 02 14:15:55 * Molly rolls her eyes Nov 02 14:16:21 Anything that can cause upset... Nov 02 14:16:49 Mmm... I think its a bit more than that but I haven't figured out what yet Nov 02 14:17:13 * Molly nods, watching him as she undoes her blouse Nov 02 14:17:25 You find her fascinating? Nov 02 14:18:21 A little intriguing perhaps. She seems to think I try to make others think I am fearless Nov 02 14:18:33 * Molly tilts her head Nov 02 14:18:43 No... Nov 02 14:19:11 no Nov 02 14:19:59 Though you do try to reassure others by facing into dangers with fortitude Nov 02 14:20:59 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 02 14:20:59 * Molly has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Nov 02 14:21:17 * MollyK has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Nov 02 14:21:19 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 02 14:21:27 [14:07:00] Molly: Though you do try to reassure others by facing into dangers with fortitude Nov 02 14:21:29 * Morgan shrugs Nov 02 14:22:02 Not fearless, but strong and capable Nov 02 14:23:04 * Morgan nods Nov 02 14:23:15 I don't _try_ to appear any way to people Nov 02 14:23:25 * MollyK puts the blouse aside, in modified trousers and a short shift tucked in Nov 02 14:23:40 Then it's just innate, my love Nov 02 14:24:40 * Morgan nods Nov 02 14:24:45 Her painting was good, though it did not really speak to me Nov 02 14:24:59 She's undeniably talented Nov 02 14:25:29 * MollyK nods, trousers coming off Nov 02 14:25:37 Did you like it? Nov 02 14:26:32 It was interesting to consider the several possible agendas to it... but its not something I would be hanging in my home... Maubourg probably would... Nov 02 14:26:44 * MollyK giggles Nov 02 14:26:58 It was a bit religious for me Nov 02 14:28:07 * Morgan nods Nov 02 14:29:27 * MollyK sits on the bed "what were the agendas?" Nov 02 14:48:44 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 02 14:53:48 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 02 14:54:01 [14:16:29] • ​MollyK​ sits on the bed "what were the agendas?" Nov 02 14:54:51 Lets see.... There were a few... does she torment him with her chosen pain and death while he suffers an involuntary one Nov 02 14:55:25 That's rather odd Nov 02 14:56:08 Is it about how they are alone and united in mutual pain while an uncaring world looks on... Nov 02 14:56:22 * MollyK tilts her head Nov 02 14:56:28 That's an interesting idea Nov 02 14:56:58 Mmhmm Nov 02 14:58:37 What do _you_ think? Nov 02 14:59:42 * Morgan shrugs Nov 02 15:00:02 I think perhaps she is attracted to you Nov 02 15:00:55 Not likely. I intrigue her because I am not your typical man but... thats as far as it goes Nov 02 15:01:12 * MollyK shrugs a little Nov 02 15:01:25 Did you consider my request? Nov 02 15:01:40 * Morgan nods Nov 02 15:02:02 I'm still torn Nov 02 15:02:17 * MollyK nods sadly Nov 02 15:02:48 Then we should probably just say goodnight? Nov 02 15:03:34 ummm... I... yes ok Nov 02 15:04:17 I do not wish that at all, but if you spend you'll be sleepy Nov 02 15:05:31 I could perhaps... do something for you... Nov 02 15:05:47 * MollyK smiles, blushing Nov 02 15:06:04 But that would not give you satisfaction, my love Nov 02 15:06:27 Not the physical sort you refer to but... a satisfaction of a kind Nov 02 15:06:49 That would not be horribly frustrating for you? Nov 02 15:06:58 * Morgan shrugs Nov 02 15:07:16 Maybe. Maybe I'll glean a certain satisfaction from making you peak Nov 02 15:07:29 * MollyK smiles Nov 02 15:07:45 Well then, I'll place myself at your disposal Nov 02 15:08:19 * Morgan nods Nov 02 15:08:27 Then if you would remove your garments and lay back.... Nov 02 15:09:08 * MollyK pulls off the short shift, moving to the middle of the bed Nov 02 15:10:05 * Morgan shuffles along a little, keeping the entwined hair away from her view before taking a mouthful of hot coffee and moving between her legs, swallowing at the last moment before planting his now hot mouth directly on her clit Nov 02 15:11:08 * MollyK immediately arches a bit, eyes closed "dear god! I was planning to do that to you!" Nov 02 15:11:34 * Morgan chuckles against her, putting his tongue to work, licking and sucking at her Nov 02 15:12:14 * MollyK doesn't take long at all to be close to peaking Nov 02 15:13:54 * Morgan continues his ministrations, pushing two fingers inside her gently Nov 02 15:14:37 * MollyK pushes rhythmically to them, less gentle than him Nov 02 15:16:56 * Morgan matches her intensity Nov 02 15:18:11 * MollyK starts the pant, managing the sensations to let the run up build and build Nov 02 15:18:38 * Morgan moans quietly against her, redoubling his efforts Nov 02 15:19:15 * MollyK rolls her hips to manage it a few more seconds before saying "now?" Nov 02 15:20:40 mmhmmm Nov 02 15:25:16 * MollyK peaks against his mouth, grinding deep onto his fingers as she would if he was within her, moaning Nov 02 15:31:20 * MollyK has quit (Ping Timeout) Nov 02 15:36:22 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 02 15:37:40 [15:12:18] • ​MollyK​ peaks against his mouth, grinding deep onto his fingers as she would if he was within her, moaning Nov 02 15:39:33 * Morgan continues to lick and suck, letting her get the most out of her orgasm before slowing down Nov 02 15:40:22 * MollyK eventually starts to moan less, and sighs happily Nov 02 15:40:26 Wow, my love! Nov 02 15:41:31 * Morgan keeps intermittently kissing at her gently Nov 02 15:41:36 I'm glad you enjoyed it my love Nov 02 15:42:21 * MollyK nods, propping up just a little to look at him Nov 02 15:42:50 Oh my-! Your hair! Nov 02 15:43:10 No, not my hair Nov 02 15:43:32 * MollyK looks elated and also a bit teary Nov 02 15:43:37 Our hair... Nov 02 15:45:37 * Morgan nods, wiping the moisture from his chin and into his mouth before moving up beside her Nov 02 15:46:11 * MollyK watches him do that, her stomach twitching. She runs her fingers over the braid "oh, liebes herz!" Nov 02 15:46:50 * Morgan tilts his head so she can see it better Nov 02 15:47:08 I love it! It's wonderful! Nov 02 15:48:05 * Morgan nods Nov 02 15:48:12 You are not angry for me taking your hair? Nov 02 15:48:24 My body is yours, all of it. Nov 02 15:48:47 * Morgan nods, smiling Nov 02 15:49:35 * MollyK keeps it gently between thumb and fingers as she moves to kiss him Nov 02 15:50:10 * Morgan noticeably relaxes as she does so Nov 02 15:50:56 * MollyK licks along his lower lip, then whimpers gently at the taste of herself on his mouth Nov 02 15:53:07 * Morgan makes a sound of appreciation before relaxing back against the pillows Nov 02 15:53:17 * MollyK watches him Nov 02 15:54:46 Are you alright? Nov 02 15:55:09 Of course my love... why wouldn't I be? Nov 02 15:55:37 You might be very frustrated? Nov 02 15:56:15 * MollyK cuddles up to him Nov 02 15:57:00 Somewhat, aye Nov 02 15:57:46 I wonder if I could use magic to reduce that? *she yawns quietly against the fabric of his shirt* Nov 02 15:58:40 No... its a pleasant reminder of what we just did Nov 02 15:58:55 * MollyK smiles Nov 02 15:59:12 Will you stay until I fall asleep? Nov 02 15:59:41 Of course Nov 02 16:00:21 Thank you. Will you come back to bed if you change your mind about staying awake? Nov 02 16:01:13 Would you rather I just stay here unless I want a drink? Nov 02 16:01:27 Would that not make it harder for you? Nov 02 16:01:48 * Morgan shrugs Nov 02 16:01:50 maybe Nov 02 16:02:09 What would you prefer, my love? Nov 02 16:02:38 I've got a couple of things I want to do... once thats done I'll come back in, how's that? Nov 02 16:02:46 * MollyK nods Nov 02 16:03:36 Yes, my love. *she yawns again* There are lots of things I hope we can do another night Nov 02 16:04:16 *If he wants to hear the Mind with the shards, he needs her to open the box* Nov 02 16:04:43 Would you give me your shard? Nov 02 16:05:15 Mmmhmmm it's in the bottom of the trunk Nov 02 16:06:19 * Morgan gets off the bed, fishing it out and bringing it to her Nov 02 16:06:23 I need you to open it Nov 02 16:06:39 * MollyK puts her finger in the groove and it opens Nov 02 16:07:02 * Morgan puts it to one side, leaving the box open, sitting with her while she falls asleep Nov 02 16:07:16 * MollyK does very quickly Nov 02 16:08:11 * Morgan picks up the box and quietly goes back into the parlour, pouring himself another coffee Nov 02 16:08:55 *he can briefly here some giggling from Heinzharold's room, but it sound subsides. Apart from that, it's all quiet Nov 02 16:09:25 * Morgan sits down, taking the two shards and putting them to his ears Nov 02 16:10:24 *As they said, he can hear the Mind, the sound soothing and almost resonating deep in his soul as each time he's heard it before, very calming* Nov 02 16:11:09 * Morgan concentrates, trying to see if he can understand any of it Nov 02 16:12:39 *He is still unable, but he can tell that some is more like talking, some is more rhythmic and repeated, like singing, like the ways she moves beneath him, like the sea on a gentle day, and he realises he is starting to drift off to sleep* Nov 02 16:13:34 * Morgan moves them from his ears quickly, putting them both away Nov 02 16:14:19 *that helps a little, but he's still so calmed that it would be easy to sleep Nov 02 16:15:42 * Morgan narrows his eyes a moment, thinking, before slumping back on the couch and closing his eyes Nov 02 16:16:19 *he can tell he is definitely going to fall asleep like this* Nov 02 16:18:56 **He drifts off and starts to dream, something new. The manor house in Insel had become a makeshift hospital, which was lucky because when he had gone to rescue HH from the fort in this year 1663, a year earlier than in reality, he'd been shot in one arm and his horse had reared and he'd broken the other. HH had dropped him there to be looked Nov 02 16:18:56 after. His best friend had left to report to superiors, leaving Morgan bound up in a bed unable to do anything for himself. Nov 02 16:18:56 **At first the two doctors fed and cared for him, but then sicker people came, and he was relegated to a side room and the care of the sixteen year old granddaughter, who was an excellent nurse. Two weeks he has been here now, often under the influence of strong drink to manage the pain. She also feeds him, brushes his hair, reads to him and keeps Nov 02 16:18:56 him company, only the most intimate care left to a male assistant. The only problem with all of this is that he is smitten with her and worse, finds everything from her dark red hair to her walk arousing. ((Mtf)) Nov 02 16:19:37 **For a man with two strapped up arms, this is deeply frustrating and increasingly physically uncomfortable. It also means that he cannot adjust the sheets to hide his very frequent erections. He'd even one night tried hooking them with his legs to pull the fabric taught enough for decent friction when thrusting his hips, but it had not been Nov 02 16:19:37 enough. Nov 02 16:19:37 **Today is another day waking from a dream of her that almost, but not quite, gave him the much needed satisfaction. Thankfully his erection subsided before he'd had to have the assistant lift up his night dress and guide him to the chamber pot and then been given a wash. When she cheerfully arrives with her long red hair down, a new book, and the Nov 02 16:19:37 morning sun streaming through the windows, he is immediately stirred to full mast. Nov 02 16:19:37 Good morning, Morgan, how are we feeling today? Nov 02 16:25:08 * Morgan draws his legs up, covering the erection Nov 02 16:25:20 Just wonderful... Nov 02 16:26:09 * MollyK smiles and comes to him with some more pillows "That's wonderful then. Here, let me prop you up" Nov 02 16:26:35 * Morgan shifts, leaning forward Nov 02 16:27:21 * MollyK puts them behind him, then sits beside him on the edge of the bed to tidy back his hair. She smells of rose water and a fresh sea breeze, smiling as she focuses. Her position here gives him a clear view down her dress, which only makes the aching hardness worse Nov 02 16:27:44 Any word on when I get start using my arms again? Nov 02 16:28:58 Slowly at first, no heavy lifting or sudden movements. Perhaps another week, if you will rest them until then Nov 02 16:29:49 * Morgan sighs heavily, leaning back against the pillows Nov 02 16:30:04 * MollyK next pours a measure of whiskey, holding the glass to his mouth and watching his lips carefully "Let's keep that pain at bay, hmm?" Nov 02 16:31:24 * Morgan opens his mouth, swallowing the whiskey noisily Nov 02 16:31:44 **when he has finished and a drop escapes towards his chin she gently wipes her soft handkerchief over it and along his lower lip to ensure he is comfortable Nov 02 16:32:09 Is that enough, or do you need more? Nov 02 16:32:53 * Morgan moves his shoulders a little Nov 02 16:32:57 It should do, thank you Nov 02 16:33:33 * MollyK looks at him, smiling "breakfast will be a little while, you're up early" Nov 02 16:33:59 * Morgan nods Nov 02 16:34:04 Thats true Nov 02 16:34:58 What would you like to do today? We could walk in the gardens again later? Nov 02 16:35:28 * Morgan nods Nov 02 16:35:34 Please, I'd like some fresh air Nov 02 16:35:41 * MollyK nods Nov 02 16:35:52 But first, I have something for you. Nov 02 16:36:34 Oh? Nov 02 16:36:45 I have some cream I made, mixed with oils, it's very good for softening skin. I would like to rub it into your feet for you. It will be very relaxing, but also taking care of one's feet is important, especially wearing boots every minute of the day. Nov 02 16:38:17 Oh.... Ummm... ok... Nov 02 16:39:54 ACTION smiles, taking it from her pocket. She moves to the other end of the bed. She folds the sheet back to ankle height "Straighten your legs please" Nov 02 16:39:54 * Received a CTCP from MollyK (to #7thsea) Nov 02 16:41:59 * Morgan straightens one Nov 02 16:42:26 * MollyK is pouring some of the white cream into her hands, not looking up from her task "this one first?" Nov 02 16:42:50 * Morgan nods Nov 02 16:42:51 please Nov 02 16:44:54 * MollyK sets about rubbing the cream in. Her hands are soft, and the cream feels nice. She spends five minutes on this, before massaging his feet. She catches one point on his instep that sends pleasant sensation right up his leg and into his groin Nov 02 16:46:22 How is that? Nov 02 16:46:27 * Morgan twitches Nov 02 16:46:34 Very nice Nov 02 16:47:15 * MollyK runs her thumb up his foot before returning to that point, and it happens again "you carry tension just here" Nov 02 16:51:27 * Morgan nods Nov 02 16:51:30 I noticed Nov 02 16:51:45 * MollyK uses both thumbs alternating on that one spot, rubbing firmly upwards. After half a minute it becomes apparent that it is going to add to his frustration. Nov 02 16:57:01 I don't think thats going to help any Nov 02 16:57:44 * MollyK has quit (Ping Timeout) Nov 02 16:57:59 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 02 16:58:10 [16:38:46] • ​MollyK​ uses both thumbs alternating on that one spot, rubbing firmly upwards. After half a minute it becomes apparent that it is going to add to his frustration. Nov 02 16:58:53 I don't think thats going to help any Nov 02 16:59:36 Alright, I don't think I can get that tension out. The other foot please *she tips the bottle, the white cream a bit thinner and oilier this time as it flows out, looking somewhat like his release would. Nov 02 17:00:23 * Morgan draws one leg up before extending the other Nov 02 17:00:32 * MollyK starts on the other foot, again five minutes of rubbing it in before saying “let’s see if the tension is on this side too” Nov 02 17:00:42 Must we? Nov 02 17:01:25 ACTION immediately gets the place on that foot too, much gentler, and the lovely but frustrating feeling returns again "If it is painful I can do it lighter" Nov 02 17:01:25 * Received a CTCP from MollyK (to #7thsea) Nov 02 17:01:35 Its not that its painful Nov 02 17:01:48 * MollyK smiles warmly Nov 02 17:01:58 Sorry, it's ticklish just there? Nov 02 17:02:16 Something like Nov 02 17:02:47 * MollyK stays away from that bit, but still massages the rest carefully Nov 02 17:03:54 And we finish with both feet at once, otherwise the muscles feel a little lopsided. *she waits for him to put his other foot out* Nov 02 17:04:26 Uhhh... no thats alright Nov 02 17:05:43 Do not be silly, if we are to walk in the gardens I do not want you at risk of stumbling and landing on your face with no arms to save you. Nov 02 17:06:06 * Morgan looks torn for a moment before sighing heavily and straightening his other leg Nov 02 17:06:50 **when he does so, his solidness tents the white sheets undeniably. She glances at it, then her brows raise* Nov 02 17:06:51 Oh… I see! Nov 02 17:07:10 * Morgan draws his legs up self consciously Nov 02 17:07:30 No no, I hadn't thought about how your poor arms means you cannot deal with this happening yourself! Nov 02 17:08:06 * Morgan nods, blushing hard Nov 02 17:08:19 * MollyK smiles gently, so pretty "it's been at least a fortnight...?" Nov 02 17:08:34 * Morgan nods Nov 02 17:08:49 Made worse by this utterly beautiful young woman I see every day Nov 02 17:09:11 * MollyK smiles "Gosh, you poor thing! I think I'd go mad having to manage like that for so long!" Nov 02 17:09:42 * Morgan nods, mutely Nov 02 17:09:52 * MollyK stands up "I'll get a little towel and we will get this dealt with for you, shall we?" Nov 02 17:10:13 What?! Nov 02 17:10:41 *she goes across the room to fetch one* All you need to do is just lie back and relax. If you are shy, I can keep the sheet over you to protect your modesty. Nov 02 17:11:09 wait... you mean... Nov 02 17:11:35 Take the pressure away manually, yes Nov 02 17:12:04 No, I can't... you can't... Nov 02 17:12:27 * MollyK comes back with it, sitting on the bed. She looks at him with a calm, rational expression Nov 02 17:13:10 You are my patient, you are in discomfort, and I can help relieve that. Unless you would prefer your assistant does it? Nov 02 17:13:32 Its not that Nov 02 17:13:40 Then what? Nov 02 17:13:46 * Morgan sighs Nov 02 17:14:17 Look, I have become fond of you and... I don't know I could separate what you're suggesting with... with... with my feelings for you Nov 02 17:14:53 * MollyK nods, smiling "That is fine, it will make it much quicker and easier for you" Nov 02 17:15:03 Not afterwards it won't! Nov 02 17:15:12 Whyever not? Nov 02 17:15:46 Because then I will have to deal with knowing it is just... something to help a patient for you, nothing more. No, I'll manage Nov 02 17:16:39 It could be another ten days, and it really is not could for a man to go for so long Nov 02 17:16:47 Good* Nov 02 17:16:59 It would do me no good to go away heartbroken Nov 02 17:17:40 * MollyK looks at him "Heartbroken? But you barely know me" Nov 02 17:17:57 Yes well... Nov 02 17:18:38 I do think you are very handsome, funny, and sweet. But of course I am not supposed to think that, and had no idea you liked me Nov 02 17:19:07 * Morgan nods Nov 02 17:19:28 I suppose now someone will replace you? Nov 02 17:19:40 Only if you wanted them to Nov 02 17:20:36 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 02 17:20:39 No, I don't Nov 02 17:21:04 * MollyK smiles "no one needs to know what we have said, all of this will be completely between us" Nov 02 17:21:48 * Morgan nods Nov 02 17:22:19 Now, will you please let me help you? Nov 02 17:23:16 * Morgan sighs, nodding Nov 02 17:23:27 I suppose so... I'll just have to deal with my feelings I suppose Nov 02 17:23:48 * MollyK watches him with a smile "you'll feel much better afterwards, much clearer headed" Nov 02 17:24:10 * Morgan shrugs Nov 02 17:24:24 Been feeling this way for a while, so I don't think you're right Nov 02 17:25:07 * MollyK gently puts her hand under the sheet, and he feels the soft towel rub over his manhood as she tucks it under his hardness and loosely brings the other end over. "I am very touched and flattered to have caught your attention" Nov 02 17:26:10 * Morgan nods, blushing Nov 02 17:26:25 * MollyK smiles "are we ready? I hope my hand isn't too cold for you" she wraps her slightly cool fingers around the rigid heat of him with a medium grip Nov 02 17:26:41 * Morgan nods Nov 02 17:27:16 * MollyK nods "That is adequate for you? Not too tight or too loose?" Nov 02 17:27:27 No, its fine Nov 02 17:28:07 ACTION starts to stroke him rhythmically, nice and stable, predictable. It's very smooth, and she looks calm and friendly "We'll soon have you drained and more comfortable" Nov 02 17:28:07 * Received a CTCP from MollyK (to #7thsea) Nov 02 17:28:29 * Morgan blushes, nodding before trying to get a little more comfortable Nov 02 17:30:13 If it does not feel right, do instruct me as to how you prefer it *she continues rubbing him within the loose towel and beneath the sheets as she sits beside him on the bed. She smiles* Nov 02 17:31:26 Uhh... a little tighter please Nov 02 17:32:09 /me 's stimulation tightens, still just as calm and collected as before, as friendly and at ease as when she reads or provides other comfort "It's fine to enjoy it, don't worry" Nov 02 17:32:40 * Morgan nods, trying to relax to do just that Nov 02 17:33:42 * MollyK gently strokes his flank with her other hand, watching him as she continues "How is that?" Nov 02 17:33:54 * Morgan nods Nov 02 17:33:58 Better than I imagined Nov 02 17:34:12 * MollyK smiles "Thank you" Nov 02 17:35:34 * MollyK keeps the same pace and tightness on his erection, but the stroking of his flank be comes more noticeable and slow, feeling like proper caressing Nov 02 17:36:39 * Morgan starts breathing deeply, writhing a little under her hand Nov 02 17:37:00 Faster, tighter? Nov 02 17:37:05 * Morgan nods Nov 02 17:38:19 ACTION does both for him, the sheet moving up and down as her fist does. She smiles "That's it, very good." Nov 02 17:38:19 * Received a CTCP from MollyK (to #7thsea) Nov 02 17:39:18 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 02 17:39:31 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 02 17:39:43 Better than I imagined Nov 02 17:39:43 * MollyK smiles "Thank you" Nov 02 17:39:43 * MollyK keeps the same pace and tightness on his erection, but the stroking of his flank be comes more noticeable and slow, feeling like proper caressing Nov 02 17:39:43 * Morgan starts breathing deeply, writhing a little under her hand Nov 02 17:39:43 Faster, tighter? Nov 02 17:39:46 * Morgan nods Nov 02 17:39:48 ACTION does both for him, the sheet moving up and down as her fist does. She smiles "That's it, very good." Nov 02 17:39:50 Can... can I see? Nov 02 17:40:18 * MollyK nods, removing her hand gently Nov 02 17:40:23 If you wish toy Nov 02 17:40:27 To* Nov 02 17:40:42 * Morgan nods Nov 02 17:42:26 * MollyK lowers the sheet, folding it to the top of his thighs, and uncovers him, spreading the towel up his stomach. He's very deep pink at his tip, veins very prominent Nov 02 17:42:58 Do you wish to be propped more, or less? Nov 02 17:43:09 More, please Nov 02 17:44:02 * MollyK finds more pillows and increases his angle so he is more upright Nov 02 17:44:09 Is that alright? Nov 02 17:44:13 * Morgan nods Nov 02 17:44:16 Yes, thank you Nov 02 17:45:04 * MollyK sits back beside him, looking at his manhood before smiling at him "you're beautifully built here" Nov 02 17:45:25 * Morgan blushes but smiles shyly Nov 02 17:45:43 * MollyK gently puts her hand back around him Nov 02 17:45:51 Ready to continue? Nov 02 17:45:55 * Morgan nods Nov 02 17:46:05 Yes.. but... I don't imagine it will take much more... Nov 02 17:46:38 * MollyK smiles "I should imagine you're very greatly looking forward to your release!" Nov 02 17:47:07 * MollyK starts stroking slower than before Nov 02 17:47:18 * Morgan nods Nov 02 17:47:24 Something of an understatement Nov 02 17:48:10 * MollyK smiles, watching her hand on him "it is better for you when you can see?" Nov 02 17:48:31 * Morgan nods Nov 02 17:48:36 Very much so Nov 02 17:48:46 * MollyK smiles Nov 02 17:48:49 Faster? Nov 02 17:49:23 * Morgan nods Nov 02 17:50:30 * MollyK does so, a good pace and nicely tight, his thick head appearing frequently as she gets her hand halfway down him, and then disappearing within her grasp again Nov 02 17:51:00 * Morgan starts to breathe heavier, thrusting into her hand as his orgasm approaches Nov 02 17:51:24 That's it, almost there... Nov 02 17:51:55 * Morgan tenses, swelling in her grip Nov 02 17:52:27 * MollyK murmurs "Good... good..." Nov 02 17:52:59 * Morgan strains for a moment before long ropes of his release shoot into the air and down over her fingers Nov 02 17:53:38 /me continues the motions just as she was, speaking softly "Yes, lovely..." Nov 02 17:53:56 * Morgan collapses back onto the bed, spent Nov 02 17:54:38 * MollyK slows down progressively, bringing forth as much of it as she can Nov 02 17:54:51 Wonderful! Well done, Morgan, that was a sizeable release. You obviously need that badly! Nov 02 17:55:16 * Morgan nods, leaning back and breathing deeply Nov 02 17:55:35 Take a moment to catch your breath and then we will see if we need to repeat the process. Nov 02 17:55:56 Repeat? Nov 02 17:56:17 Sometimes it's needed, that's all Nov 02 17:56:46 I have to say it has not helped in my predicament Nov 02 17:57:16 You are still badly aroused? **she moves away, washing her hands in the wash bowl. The towel that received his seed remains on his stomach, catching the last of it as he thankfully starts to soften** Nov 02 17:57:39 Thats not what I meant... Nov 02 17:58:26 * MollyK dries her hands, coming back with a wash cloth and a dry towel Nov 02 17:58:32 What did you mean? Nov 02 17:58:40 I meant in my attachment to you Nov 02 17:58:49 * MollyK smiles Nov 02 17:59:04 I am not too concerned about that Nov 02 17:59:10 No? Nov 02 18:00:00 * MollyK wipes the remainder of his cum from his skin before folding that towel Nov 02 18:00:28 As I say, you are handsome, kind and funny... you'll be here another few weeks... Nov 02 18:00:49 Definitely going to be heartbroken when I leave Nov 02 18:01:15 * MollyK puts the dry one under his cock, giving him a gentle wash with the warm wet cloth Nov 02 18:01:27 Sadly there's a War to go back to... Nov 02 18:02:11 * Morgan sighs Nov 02 18:02:17 Wouldn't be so bad if you felt the same Nov 02 18:02:58 * MollyK dries him now before easing his night dress back down and pulling the sheets up "Did I say I did not?" Nov 02 18:03:32 You... gently dismissed my feelings Nov 02 18:03:58 I am supposed to be nursing you, not fancying you! Nov 02 18:04:22 * MollyK smiles, taking all those linens to the basket for washing Nov 02 18:05:09 * Morgan watches her Nov 02 18:05:30 That is still not an admission... Nov 02 18:06:04 Perhaps I am not as good at being a nurse then, because I do. Nov 02 18:06:29 * Morgan looks surprised Nov 02 18:06:30 Really? Nov 02 18:06:44 * MollyK sits back on the bed, a hand gently on his stomach "Really. How do you feel physically now?" Nov 02 18:07:35 * Morgan flexes his toes Nov 02 18:07:40 Like my feet don't hurt Nov 02 18:08:00 * MollyK smiles "I should finish that off..." Nov 02 18:08:27 should... Nov 02 18:09:23 * MollyK nods "Now, if my presence as your nurse is causing you trouble with unsatisfiable arousal..." Nov 02 18:11:02 * MollyK watches his expression Nov 02 18:11:25 * Morgan frowns momentarily Nov 02 18:11:53 I... no, it is quite satisfiable... Nov 02 18:12:07 *she nods* ... I would suggest your daily treatment plan should involve some manual help each day to alleviate the discomfort. *she smiles* Nov 02 18:12:27 From my nurse? Nov 02 18:13:06 * MollyK gains a little look of mischief "nooooo... your assistant. I will come after you do?" Nov 02 18:13:21 * Morgan sniffs Nov 02 18:13:24 I'll be alright thanks Nov 02 18:14:17 * MollyK giggles "I had best do it myself then, to save you getting too frustrated" Nov 02 18:15:14 In hindsight I don't think I could tolerate being that frustrated again Nov 02 18:15:20 * MollyK nods Nov 02 18:15:28 It must have been dreadful Nov 02 18:15:42 * Morgan nods Nov 02 18:17:00 Will mornings be enough, or will an evening topical application of my palm and fingers be needed too? Nov 02 18:17:45 I wouldn't be surprised if It were Nov 02 18:18:11 * MollyK smiles, standing up "it's almost breakfast time" Nov 02 18:20:01 * MollyK glances towards the door a moment. Then she moves closer, very careful of his arms, and kisses his crown. This means his face is in her cleavage. Nov 02 18:20:28 * Morgan inhales Nov 02 18:20:34 You smell so very wonderful Nov 02 18:20:45 * MollyK smiles Nov 02 18:20:59 Really? Not of harsh hospital soap? Nov 02 18:21:16 * MollyK doesn't move away Nov 02 18:21:23 No... Rose water Nov 02 18:22:10 That is my perfume. If you like it I would drop some on your pillow before bedtime Nov 02 18:22:23 * Morgan nods Nov 02 18:22:25 Please Nov 02 18:22:45 * MollyK kisses his crown again Nov 02 18:22:51 I will do so Nov 02 18:23:31 Thank you Nov 02 18:23:43 You want to kiss me there, don't you? Nov 02 18:24:00 I do Nov 02 18:24:31 You can, it's fine, but we need to be quick, I'll be in trouble if they see Nov 02 18:25:42 * Morgan quickly presses his lips to her skin Nov 02 18:25:59 * MollyK makes a soft mmm sound Nov 02 18:28:26 * Morgan licks her skin quickly before pulling away Nov 02 18:28:32 * MollyK moves away with a deep breath "Alright. How are you feeling now?" Nov 02 18:30:19 More relaxed Nov 02 18:30:49 I am not surprised after that. I am usually much more relaxed after that too. *Approaching voices can be heard. The younger doctor, in his mid-fifties "The Schneeskald? So far south and west as Seeufer?" The older doctor replies "Oh yes, though when I wrote about them back in '18 they stuck to the forests near the Drachenburg mountains." Nov 02 18:43:21 * MollyK has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Nov 02 18:43:23 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 02 18:43:47 [18:17:51] MollyK: I am not surprised after that. I am usually much more relaxed after that too. *Approaching voices can be heard. The younger doctor, in his mid-fifties "The Schneeskald? So far south and west as Seeufer?" The older doctor replies "Oh yes, though when I wrote about them back in '18 they stuck to the forests near the Drachenburg Nov 02 18:43:47 mountains." Nov 02 18:43:55 * Morgan looks at Molly Nov 02 18:44:13 Schneeskald... I suppose I should be disbelieving Nov 02 18:45:01 * MollyK glances towards the door again, shrugging "My grandfather wrote books about the supernatural. I've never read them" Nov 02 18:45:20 I'd be interested in seeing them... Nov 02 18:45:59 * MollyK smiles "I could go to our library, but many noble households have them" Nov 02 18:46:42 I see... Nov 02 18:47:13 Would you like me to do that for you, or shall we go after breakfast? Nov 02 18:47:38 After breakfast? It'll make a nice change Nov 02 18:48:48 * MollyK nods. The door opens, the younger man carrying a tray that he puts down. The older looks to Morgan "Good morning, Lieutenant. I trust my granddaughter is taking good care of you?" Nov 02 18:49:14 * Morgan nods, fidgeting to get comfortable Nov 02 18:49:18 Yes sir, she is Nov 02 18:49:33 I have everything in hand, Grandfather Nov 02 18:51:01 *He embraces her, kissing her forehead* Go and get your own breakfast, I want to have a look at your patient Nov 02 18:51:55 * MollyK gives Morgan a brief smile Nov 02 18:52:54 * Morgan smiles at her Nov 02 18:53:42 *when the door closes, he wakes up in the dark parlour, having rested uncomfortably on one arm* Nov 02 18:54:18 * Morgan checks the time Nov 02 18:54:32 *it's about one thirty* Nov 02 18:55:43 * Morgan sighs, getting a coffee and some paper Nov 02 18:56:05 *he finds them easily Nov 02 18:58:11 * Morgan sits back down, making little notes on the paper as he drinks, just passing the time Nov 02 18:58:39 *About twenty minutes later, his bedroom door quietly opens* Nov 02 18:59:35 * Morgan looks up Nov 02 19:00:10 * MollyK blinks at the candlelight. She's just in a sating dressing gown. She comes over, speaking very quietly "are you alright, my love?" Nov 02 19:00:44 * Morgan nods Nov 02 19:00:51 Aye... didn't quite go to plan Nov 02 19:00:56 No? Nov 02 19:01:03 * MollyK sits beside him Nov 02 19:01:22 No... Go back to bed my love, I'll tell you all about it in the morning Nov 02 19:02:39 * MollyK_ (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 02 19:02:39 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Nov 02 19:02:45 Mmm but I have missed you... Nov 02 19:04:26 I'm sorry Nov 02 19:05:08 * MollyK_ kisses his jaw line "I know" Nov 02 19:05:58 Are you alright? Nov 02 19:06:06 Mmmhmmm Nov 02 19:06:49 * MollyK_ does it again Nov 02 19:07:02 What have you been dreaming, hmm? Nov 02 19:07:38 You... here on this couch when we were here before... *she moves a little further down onto his neck* Nov 02 19:08:13 I see... it is too risky now my love Nov 02 19:09:53 I know, but... *she runs her tongue down his skin* Nov 02 19:10:35 Yes I know, I know but, but its too risky Nov 02 19:11:21 Mmhmm... I'll go in a minute... Nov 02 19:12:06 * Morgan nods Nov 02 19:12:11 * MollyK_ swirls her tongue gently Nov 02 19:13:19 You will stay up? Nov 02 19:13:46 For a little while Nov 02 19:14:20 * MollyK_ giggles quietly "And longer if I..." *she gently sucks* Nov 02 19:15:24 * Morgan nods Nov 02 19:15:25 True Nov 02 19:15:28 What was the dream? Nov 02 19:16:58 Like it was before... I was here, you pulled me to the edge... I told you you could have me however you wished... Nov 02 19:17:31 * MollyK_ sucks gently again Nov 02 19:20:24 Uh huh Nov 02 19:20:33 Do you recall? You were so slow and gentle for fear of hurting me, until I told you there was no need... Nov 02 19:21:14 * Morgan nods Nov 02 19:21:20 How things have changed Nov 02 19:21:26 * MollyK_ nods Nov 02 19:22:09 Yes and no... you had your hand on the back of my neck as you took me as you needed *she nips him softly* Nov 02 19:22:39 * Morgan nods Nov 02 19:24:03 Seems to be a common occurrence Nov 02 19:25:24 * MollyK_ nods Nov 02 19:25:32 I like that... Nov 02 19:26:12 Oh? Nov 02 19:26:49 I recall fondly how afterwards you said you have wanted to do more but -needed- to have me... *she kisses upwards* Nov 02 19:27:08 Mmhmm... that is a constant issue Nov 02 19:27:49 Needing to have me? *her tongue runs over his ear lobe* Nov 02 19:27:56 * Morgan nods Nov 02 19:28:33 Mmmhmmm... I should go then? Nov 02 19:30:29 I've got a couple more things to do then I'll come sit with you Nov 02 19:30:43 And watch? Nov 02 19:31:30 maybe Nov 02 19:32:22 Unless you'd prefer to avoid that torment? *she licks down to his collar line* Nov 02 19:32:53 You'll be exhausted tomorrow Nov 02 19:33:26 I won't get back to sleep otherwise though... Nov 02 19:34:36 * Morgan folds the paper, tucking it into a pocket Nov 02 19:34:58 Oh! No, I didn't mean you needed to join me, my love Nov 02 19:38:46 * MollyK_ has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 02 19:42:22 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 02 19:42:41 [19:22:00] MollyK_: Oh! No, I didn't mean you needed to join me, my love Nov 02 19:42:44 That seemed to be your intent Nov 02 19:43:26 No, just that I'll need to do so to get back to sleep Nov 02 19:43:52 * Morgan nods Nov 02 19:44:39 You can do whatever is best for you, liebling Nov 02 19:45:32 If you are of a mind to wait, I will be in shortly... particularly if you are willing to get as close as possible and wait for me Nov 02 19:46:01 * MollyK nods "if that would please you" Nov 02 19:46:15 * Morgan nods Nov 02 19:47:52 * MollyK stands, kissing his crown as she had in the dream, breasts in his face again Nov 02 19:49:24 * Morgan inhales Nov 02 19:49:39 I'll be in soon... ish Nov 02 19:50:11 * MollyK nods, pulling away "Yes, liebling" Nov 02 19:50:25 Blossom... Nov 02 19:50:31 Yes? Nov 02 19:50:36 No stopping... Nov 02 19:50:54 Oh no! Nov 02 19:51:01 * Morgan nods Nov 02 19:51:19 Oh yes. Close as you can, goff you go now Nov 02 19:51:57 * MollyK nods, no protest "yes, my l... love" Nov 02 19:52:26 * Morgan smiles at her. Nov 02 19:52:32 * MollyK heads towards the bedroom Nov 02 19:54:19 Good girl Nov 02 19:54:46 * MollyK whimpers quietly, going in and shutting the door Nov 02 19:58:59 * Morgan takes the paper out, spending another twenty five minutes on it before finishing his coffee and heading into his bedroom Nov 02 20:00:05 * MollyK looks so very pent up and desperate, her fingers barely moving. She's very flushed, and looks at him pleadingly Nov 02 20:00:09 My love! Nov 02 20:00:51 You haven't stopped have you? Nov 02 20:02:04 * MollyK shakes her head vigorously, then looks thoughtful Nov 02 20:02:33 What... would... happen... if... I.... *deep breath* ... had? Nov 02 20:02:34 * Morgan nods Nov 02 20:02:59 Well... I'm not sure... I couldn't spank you because you enjoy that wholly too much for it to be punishment... Nov 02 20:08:09 * MollyK bites her lip hard, her body tensing suddenly. Her touch becomes featherlight as she takes deep hard breaths to stop it Nov 02 20:11:03 Now... how would you like this torment? to end my love? Nov 02 20:12:02 Now. However, but now, please! Nov 02 20:12:50 hmmm... maybe not then Nov 02 20:13:12 * MollyK makes a whining noise of need Nov 02 20:13:17 Please! Nov 02 20:13:55 * Morgan kneels between her legs Nov 02 20:14:07 Perhaps... you wish to suck on my fingers to help stay quiet? Nov 02 20:14:18 * MollyK continues to very lightly stroke herself as he does, nodding Nov 02 20:14:32 * Morgan offers to fingers to her mouth Nov 02 20:14:55 Now... as soon as I take over... you may have your release... but not until then... Nov 02 20:16:17 * MollyK takes them in, sucking at them as she nods. She rubs her tongue up the underside as she would if his manhood was in her mouth instead, watching him intently Nov 02 20:16:26 Trust me? Nov 02 20:16:30 * MollyK nods Nov 02 20:16:59 * Morgan nods, concentrating on cooling the air at her groin, making it very cold Nov 02 20:18:33 * MollyK 's eyes go wide, but she doesn't look scared Nov 02 20:19:11 * Morgan lets it stay cold for a moment before breathing on her skin, his breath hot Nov 02 20:19:54 * MollyK shudders, taking his fingers deeper, right back to her tonsils Nov 02 20:20:20 * Morgan stops, making the air colder still Nov 02 20:21:13 * MollyK 's fingers barely move at all now Nov 02 20:21:26 It is that difficult? Nov 02 20:21:46 * MollyK nods Nov 02 20:21:54 good Nov 02 20:22:42 * MollyK whimpers around his fingers, her body bucking a little. She watches him enraptured and looking so very obedient Nov 02 20:24:22 * Morgan waits another full minute before suddenly moving her hand and sucking her clit, exposed to the frigid air, into his very hot mouth, assaulting it with his tongue simultaneously Nov 02 20:25:52 * MollyK explodes instantly at this, the moment his mouth touches her, arching violently from the bed and gripping the sheets Nov 02 20:27:22 * Morgan moans, sending vibrations through his tongue Nov 02 20:28:56 * MollyK 's whole body tenses, even her tonsils around his fingers and her tongue beneath them. Because of that, she cannot make any noise Nov 02 20:30:28 * Morgan continues to moan, reading her bodies reactions Nov 02 20:31:53 * MollyK continues to climax over and over, slipping his fingers as deep as she can where they have to curve down into her throat as his erection does Nov 02 20:33:39 * Morgan keeps this up for a few minutes before letting her calm down Nov 02 20:35:39 * MollyK continues to use his fingers, sucking and licking at them even as her body starts to settle Nov 02 20:38:19 * Morgan gives her a few slow, languorous licks before stopping Nov 02 20:38:27 Was it worth the challenge my love? Nov 02 20:38:58 * MollyK reluctantly lets go of his fingers, sighing exhaustedly Nov 02 20:39:08 Yes, my love, thank you Nov 02 20:39:43 * Morgan nods Nov 02 20:39:45 good Nov 02 20:40:40 * MollyK watches him, stroking the braid of both their hair Nov 02 20:40:59 You are so incredible with your mouth... Nov 02 20:41:35 I try my love Nov 02 20:41:53 * Morgan wipes his chin on the back of his hand before slowly and deliberately licking it Nov 02 20:42:59 Oh fuck.... *she watches his action intently* Nov 02 20:43:06 Oh you like that Nov 02 20:43:19 * MollyK nods, blushing a little Nov 02 20:43:24 Yes, I do Nov 02 20:44:15 Why? Nov 02 20:44:27 I... Nov 02 20:44:55 Come on now... Nov 02 20:45:24 * MollyK fidgets Nov 02 20:45:42 I like that you like how I taste... Nov 02 20:46:15 * Morgan nods Nov 02 20:46:17 Very much so Nov 02 20:46:48 * MollyK bites her lip Nov 02 20:47:48 I like when I can taste myself on your tongue *she looks both aroused and embarrassed at admitting it* Nov 02 20:48:57 * Morgan nods, pushing a couple of fingers inside her, hooking them and dragging them back out before putting them in his own mouth Nov 02 20:50:06 * MollyK moans softly, her stomach twitching noticeably, unable to look away from his mouth Nov 02 20:51:14 * Morgan smiles Nov 02 20:51:25 I think perhaps you are ready to sleep? Nov 02 20:52:38 * MollyK looks a little torn, but the submissiveness of having followed his commands for half an hour take over, and she says "yes, my love" Nov 02 20:53:06 You wish to object? Nov 02 20:53:20 I only want to please you Nov 02 20:53:45 I know... Nov 02 20:54:13 * MollyK watches him, particularly his mouth Nov 02 20:56:59 Perhaps... you would like to please me? To use your mouth upon me? Nov 02 20:57:18 * MollyK nods eagerly Nov 02 20:57:31 Yes, please! How, where? Nov 02 20:58:25 * Morgan moves, flopping onto his back and kicking off his boots Nov 02 21:01:08 * MollyK sits up, kneeling with her knees beside his bicep, and leaning head towards his feet whilst she undoes his placket Nov 02 21:02:22 * Morgan looks over at her for a moment Nov 02 21:02:29 Hang on... I've got an idea Nov 02 21:02:50 * MollyK looks back at him, curious Nov 02 21:03:26 * Morgan shifts, moving his head between her thighs and pulling her downwards before murmuring Nov 02 21:03:28 Continue Nov 02 21:04:38 * MollyK moans, pushing the fabric down and looking at his revealed flesh to see how aroused he is Nov 02 21:05:26 * Morgan is solid, springing up immediately Nov 02 21:06:21 * MollyK runs her tongue int the groove at his tip to taste him Nov 02 21:06:50 * Morgan moans as he once again sucks her clit into his mouth Nov 02 21:08:50 * MollyK matches his sound, experimentally grinding gently on his mouth as she wraps her soft warm mouth around him Nov 02 21:09:35 * Morgan tilts his hips, trying to get further into her mouth Nov 02 21:11:59 * MollyK sinks right down smoothly, right into her throat Nov 02 21:12:20 * Morgan moans deeply, sucking hard Nov 02 21:13:36 * MollyK tries to moan but can't, her throat tensing and relaxing. She rolls her hips a little Nov 02 21:14:59 * Morgan moans more, trying to grind against her Nov 02 21:16:21 * MollyK withdraws enough to breathe before going as deep as she can again before moving her head to grind him within the tight heat Nov 02 21:17:57 * Morgan continues sucking on her clit, moaning as he does so Nov 02 21:19:57 * MollyK suddenly climaxes once more, and it makes her throat constrict very tightly around his cock. She moves him in and out rapidly, demandingly Nov 02 21:21:25 * Morgan grunts, putting a hand in her hair, encouraging her motions, sucking on her until he starts to swell Nov 02 21:21:48 [yes. Need. Please] Nov 02 21:22:21 * Morgan strains, suddenly flooding her throat Nov 02 21:23:09 * MollyK keeps moving, but becoming gentler, slower Nov 02 21:23:49 * Morgan eventually releases her clit, slumping back Nov 02 21:23:52 Oh fuck... Nov 02 21:24:41 * MollyK runs gentle kisses along him as he starts to soften "mmmmhmmmm... good." Nov 02 21:26:04 * Morgan exhales slowly Nov 02 21:26:43 * MollyK moves carefully until she can get to his mouth, licking his lips Nov 02 21:27:19 * Morgan kisses her before looking surprised Nov 02 21:27:40 * MollyK blushes "sorry" Nov 02 21:28:29 Its... I've just... never tasted myself on your mouth before Nov 02 21:28:51 Oh god, sorry I didn't even think of that! Nov 02 21:29:31 * Morgan laughs quietly Nov 02 21:29:35 Clearly nor did I Nov 02 21:29:37 * MollyK lays down beside him Nov 02 21:29:57 I was only thinking of me in you... Nov 02 21:30:19 You like to taste yourself, hmm? Nov 02 21:30:36 Particularly on you Nov 02 21:31:02 * Morgan nods Nov 02 21:31:43 You've never tasted your release at all? Nov 02 21:32:44 No... Nov 02 21:33:24 * MollyK watches him Nov 02 21:33:34 You've never been curious? Nov 02 21:33:44 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 02 21:33:48 Not a single once Nov 02 21:33:54 * MollyK smiles Nov 02 21:34:28 I see... no, I was curious quite some time ago Nov 02 21:34:53 Oh? Could've followed Claudia's example... Nov 02 21:35:02 * MollyK grimaces Nov 02 21:35:10 My love! No thank you Nov 02 21:35:20 * Morgan laughs Nov 02 21:35:45 I meant about myself, not about women generally Nov 02 21:36:10 Well, I'm sorry for finding the idea intriguing *he laughs* Why the curiosity? Nov 02 21:36:38 * MollyK looks at him as if trying to tell if he is teasing her Nov 02 21:36:48 Intriguing? Nov 02 21:37:02 * Morgan just watches her, a slight smile on his face Nov 02 21:37:32 * MollyK looks puzzled Nov 02 21:37:45 You -are- teasing me? Nov 02 21:37:55 Am I now? Nov 02 21:38:09 * MollyK looks really quite unsure Nov 02 21:38:24 I... I don't know Nov 02 21:39:24 Don't know what my love? Nov 02 21:39:42 Whether you are teasing me, what you mean? Nov 02 21:40:11 * MollyK is looking increasingly out of her depth Nov 02 21:40:15 Don't worry my love, it just occurred to me thats all... so why the curiosity? Nov 02 21:40:51 Oh, umm... wondering that it would be like for you if you did that to me Nov 02 21:41:23 Oh... I thought perhaps it was longer ago than that Nov 02 21:41:56 No. After we pleasured each other, before we were married Nov 02 21:42:22 * Morgan nods Nov 02 21:42:28 Now I see Nov 02 21:43:05 * MollyK nods Nov 02 21:43:31 You prefer I am careful not to kiss you after doing that to you? Nov 02 21:43:44 Let me think about it? Nov 02 21:43:49 * MollyK nods Nov 02 21:44:07 Are you leaving again? Nov 02 21:45:25 I'll get a drink and stay in here Nov 02 21:45:46 * MollyK stands up, getting a shift and pulling it on "Alright, my love. It's cold now" Nov 02 21:46:37 * Morgan concentrates on heating the air in the room a little Nov 02 21:46:50 * MollyK smiles "thank you" Nov 02 21:47:14 * Morgan nods, doing up his placket and heading out to get some more coffee Nov 02 21:48:07 * MollyK is under the covers when he gets back, already looking half asleep Nov 02 21:49:34 * Morgan smiles, settling down on his side of the bed, sitting up Nov 02 21:49:54 Goodnight, liebling Nov 02 21:50:16 Goodnight my love Nov 02 21:50:48 * MollyK is asleep in less than a minute. It's now after three Nov 02 21:52:23 * Morgan drinks hid coffee quietly before shifting, closing his eyes Nov 02 21:52:41 *he manages twenty minutes before sleep comes calling for him again* Nov 02 21:53:41 *He starts to dream. it is back in August and he is just arriving at the ante-chamber before Faulk's dinning room. He's already late, only their second night here and distracted by the mystery of the Comte De La Fere and his confession that Alarice paid him to kill Karsten. The room is busy, there's lots of wine. Alarice looks pleased with herself Nov 02 21:53:41 as she's talking to Isiah. Molly is with Faulk, looking beautiful and as if she fits into this world he was born into, probably more than he does.* Nov 02 21:53:41 /me must have been talking a while because she drinks the whole glass of wine the servant gives her immediately. Faulk laughs, impressed. Morgan reaches them* Nov 02 21:54:36 * MollyK is now known as Faulk Nov 02 21:54:55 We thought we might have to start without you, Morgan Nov 02 21:55:15 Sorry, your Grace, I was... gathering some information Nov 02 21:55:31 * Faulk nods Nov 02 21:55:49 I have had your wife's delightful company, not harm done Nov 02 21:56:18 * Morgan nods Nov 02 21:56:51 I'm glad Nov 02 21:56:54 *Molly puts a hand on Morgan's arm, giving a gentle squeeze Nov 02 21:57:36 * Morgan smiles at her Nov 02 21:57:40 Alright blossom? Nov 02 21:57:52 * Faulk smiles, nodding slightly at him, but her lips look a little bluish. Her skin also looks a bit paler. Nov 02 21:58:00 * Faulk is now known as Molly Nov 02 21:58:26 *Faulk also looks at her, frowning a little* Nov 02 21:58:43 You are sure? You look pale... paler than when I walked in... Nov 02 21:59:58 * Molly shrugs a little, but she looks confused Nov 02 22:00:22 perhaps... perhaps your Grace could call for a doctor? Nov 02 22:01:06 *Faulk calls to one of the staff to fetch a doctor. Whilst he's doing so, Molly's legs buckle, her glass dropped to the floor with a smash* Nov 02 22:01:24 * Morgan catches her, moving her to a chair Nov 02 22:01:32 Molly... Molly can you tell me what's wrong? Nov 02 22:02:28 * Molly hasn't inhaled that he has noticed. She looks a bit shocked, disconnected Nov 02 22:02:53 * Morgan looks round, calling for help Nov 02 22:03:45 *there's lots of people moving around, but no one seems to know what to do. She gestures to him, either HH or Claudia must have taught her, but how doesnt matter to him right now** $I love you like you love Dietlinde$ Nov 02 22:04:20 Molly... no no no, you can't go, I need you.... I love you, so very much, stay with me Nov 02 22:04:43 $sorry. Poison. please, don't forget me$ Nov 02 22:05:12 No.... Please, blossom, please Nov 02 22:06:17 * Molly is getting scarily pale now, lips properly blue $love to all. Bury, Dauerhaftigkeit. Love you$ her eyelids start to flicker Nov 02 22:06:51 Oh... my darling, please don't go... Nov 02 22:07:02 * Morgan pulls her to him, cradling her against him Nov 02 22:08:01 *He notices there's no Sudlache ring on her finger. She pulls closer to him, but her strength seems to be fading* Nov 02 22:08:36 My love, I... need you to know how very much I love you.... I can't do this without you Nov 02 22:08:56 * Molly doesn't reply Nov 02 22:09:13 * Morgan moves so he can see her Nov 02 22:09:18 Molly... Nov 02 22:09:37 * Molly 's eyes open briefly Nov 02 22:09:51 I love you Nov 02 22:11:18 * Molly puts her hand to her heart, then to his Nov 02 22:12:45 * Morgan nods, pressing his lips to her forehead Nov 02 22:14:22 * Molly 's hand rests on his chest, her eyes close again, and her body goes limp. The grandfather clock in the antechamber chimes for eight, but it must be per the dawn watch because he awakens. Her hand is on his chest in the same place* Nov 02 22:14:57 * Morgan drags in a ragged breath before rolling over, pressing his face deep into a pillow and screaming Nov 02 22:17:11 *the movement wakes her* what's... Oh, my love... *she lays a gentle hand on his upper arm* Nov 02 22:17:32 * Morgan shakes his head, sobbing like a heartbroken child into the pillow Nov 02 22:18:18 * Molly doesn't wait to asking about using the magic, his neck prickling Nov 02 22:19:10 *the physiological effects drop off as usual* Nov 02 22:19:27 * Morgan looks like he's going to scramble off the bed but instead puts his hands on the back of his head Nov 02 22:19:46 What do you need? Nov 02 22:20:26 * Morgan rolls towards her, clinging to her Nov 02 22:21:24 * Molly wraps her arm and leg around him, pressing against him to increase the anchoring weight of them Nov 02 22:21:47 Alriiiight, it's okay... I have you. Nov 02 22:22:10 * Morgan lays there for a few minutes before pulling away Nov 02 22:22:14 I need to get up... Nov 02 22:22:33 * Molly lets him go Nov 02 22:22:39 If you are sure? Nov 02 22:22:44 * Morgan pulls his boots on Nov 02 22:22:49 I need to do something destructive Nov 02 22:23:13 Alright liebling. I'll start getting everyone up and ready Nov 02 22:23:30 I need to see the grave before we leave town Nov 02 22:23:50 Alarice's? Or the Montaigne girl's? Nov 02 22:24:07 * Morgan lip curls as he speaks Nov 02 22:24:10 My cousin Nov 02 22:24:26 * Molly nods Nov 02 22:24:53 Did you wish to go now and we will have a more leisurely breakfast? Nov 02 22:25:01 * Morgan nods once Nov 02 22:25:02 fine Nov 02 22:25:41 * Molly nods, letting him get to it Nov 02 22:26:11 * Morgan walks out of the bedroom, swiftly returning Nov 02 22:26:21 I love you... with everything I am, and I always have. Nov 02 22:27:17 * Molly watches him solemnly "do I need to worry you are going to hurt yourself? That sounds worryingly like Goodbye" Nov 02 22:27:38 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 02 22:27:41 no Nov 02 22:27:51 * Molly nods Nov 02 22:28:12 I love you entirely. Go and do what you must, Nov 02 22:28:32 * Morgan nods, leaving the room and suite Nov 02 22:29:23 *he's lucky not to bump into anyone on the way* Nov 02 22:31:29 * Morgan destroys a couple of trees before saddling a horse and riding towards the burial site Nov 02 22:33:02 *There's a few people setting up market stalls and going about their business, but no one interrupts him. The field on the outskirts is empty, and the sky has become a deeper gray rather than black Nov 02 22:34:09 * Morgan ties the horse at the gate, walking through the field to find his cousins grave Nov 02 22:34:56 *he finds it easily, the memories of how only he, Varick and Molly had gone* Nov 02 22:35:28 * Morgan walks directly to it before spitting on it Nov 02 22:35:58 We fucking beat you, you fucking cunt. You lost. _everything_ you tried failed. Nov 02 22:37:13 *Nothing changes, the field stays quiet, not even leaves for the cold breeze to rustle through* Nov 02 22:39:04 * Morgan scuffs the dirt, spitting on it again and going back to the horse, untying it and mounting up Nov 02 22:39:48 *The horse is a little spooked by the field, but behaves well-enough* Nov 02 22:40:33 I know... ghosts... come on, lets get out of here Nov 02 22:42:34 *the horse walks on. The route he's on passes near the back of Pott's house, and he can see outdoor lamps lit in the garden Nov 02 22:43:11 * Morgan stops, looking at the house Nov 02 22:43:42 *there's also a lamp in one of the front windows. This is where DeeDee was staying the night Nov 02 22:44:15 * Morgan ties up the horse, climbing down and knocking on the door Nov 02 22:44:58 *a tired looking butler recognises him from last time and lets him in* Nov 02 22:45:32 B: He's in the garden. It was a bad night. Nov 02 22:46:07 * Morgan nods Nov 02 22:46:18 Do me a favour and bring me the strongest drink you have would you? Nov 02 22:46:23 * Molly is now known as DeeDee Nov 02 22:46:36 *The butler agrees to* Nov 02 22:47:05 * Morgan goes to find DeeDee Nov 02 22:48:05 * DeeDee is laid on his back on the grass, staring up at the sky. The garden smells strongly of his special tobacco Nov 02 22:48:48 * Morgan thumps down onto the grass nearby Nov 02 22:49:11 * DeeDee slowly turns his head "hey." Nov 02 22:50:02 Bad night Nov 02 22:50:31 Yeah, real bad. *he sounds slow, but not drunken slow* Nov 02 22:50:53 You gonn' be fit to travel? Nov 02 22:51:22 Yeah. Better when the suns up. Nov 02 22:51:38 You gonn' be any use? Nov 02 22:52:01 Oh yeah. Smoked this much a lot in the war Nov 02 22:52:22 * Morgan nods, laying back on the grass Nov 02 22:52:34 What brings you? Nov 02 22:52:49 I've just been to spit on my cousins grave Nov 02 22:53:14 Okay man. Feel better? Nov 02 22:53:35 No. Nov 02 22:53:59 Evil bitch, Claudia says Nov 02 22:54:21 understatement Nov 02 22:54:51 * DeeDee lifts the pipe "wanna try some?" Nov 02 22:55:09 No... I don't like how slow it sounds like it makes you Nov 02 22:55:37 I've been smoking it since 'bout two, that's why Nov 02 22:56:08 Are you _sure_ you're gonn' be fit? I won't risk the safety of my family Nov 02 22:56:48 I'm sure. I wouldn't be responsible for more women and kids dying. Nov 02 22:57:14 Does it relax the body or the mind? Nov 02 22:57:20 Both Nov 02 22:58:02 * Morgan closes his eyes Nov 02 22:58:34 Know when you're drunk, not as far as when you find everything hilarious, but when everything's just mellow and easy? Nov 02 22:58:53 Not recently Nov 02 22:59:08 Not without being drugged by a psychotic cousin, anyway Nov 02 22:59:36 Think I puked up my own socks that mornin' Nov 02 23:00:03 * Morgan nods Nov 02 23:00:10 I'd like to kill him again. Painfully. Nov 02 23:00:29 * DeeDee nods, offering the pipe again Nov 02 23:00:37 * Morgan sighs, taking it Nov 02 23:00:47 If I end up dopey, I'll beat you to death Nov 02 23:02:41 * DeeDee laughs "dunking your head in cold water takes most o' it off. Never smoked at all before?" Nov 02 23:02:52 No, nothing Nov 02 23:03:35 Just inhale a really small amount, like a one second breath. Hold it for three, bow out Nov 02 23:04:03 * Morgan nods, doing so before giving it back Nov 02 23:07:25 /me waits patiently. About twenty seconds after doing it, he feels a sudden rush of euphoria that lasts about twenty seconds, and then it settles to a very pleasant buzz, his body feeling a little floaty, and his mind quieting Nov 02 23:07:49 Feel it? Nov 02 23:07:58 * Morgan sighs Nov 02 23:08:00 aye Nov 02 23:08:40 Gon' last about five or ten minutes, if you don't do it again Nov 02 23:08:50 That'll do Nov 02 23:09:07 * Morgan sits up, crossing his legs and closing his eyes Nov 02 23:11:38 *the chemicals combined with his usual skills puts him into a newer depth of meditation that he has never reached before. It's incredibly peaceful, the thoughts just flowing past like leaves going down stream, there but not important. Nov 02 23:12:24 * Morgan does this for ten minutes before opening his eyes Nov 02 23:13:11 *the special tobacco has started to wear off. The sky is much lighter but still not quiet dawn* Nov 02 23:13:17 How you doing, man? Nov 02 23:13:46 * Morgan rolls his neck, then his shoulders Nov 02 23:13:59 Its taken the edge off, so to speak. Nov 02 23:14:04 * DeeDee nods Nov 02 23:14:28 Sometimes when it's bad, it's the only thing that blocks it Nov 02 23:15:44 Figured out what triggers the bad ones? Nov 02 23:17:18 Loads of things. Things that sound like heartbeats, being in enclosed space sometimes, seeing pregnant women, even just knowing they're pregnant. Nov 02 23:18:07 I see. You get any nights without em? Nov 02 23:18:56 With this? Most of them. Without, only if I have good sex and then get drunk. Nov 02 23:20:34 lucky Nov 02 23:21:02 Claudia said you're prone to them Nov 02 23:21:44 Every night, usually twice Nov 02 23:23:16 Want some of this, f' emergencies? Nov 02 23:24:09 I'll let you know Nov 02 23:24:19 * DeeDee nods Nov 02 23:24:43 I norm'ly get it in Tannen, on the Old Round Nov 02 23:26:06 * Morgan nods Nov 02 23:26:46 Ever done the Old Round? Tiggy and Potts introduced it to us, popular at the 'Cademy. Nov 02 23:27:07 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 02 23:28:11 Eight taverns, eight pints, less than two hours. Anyone who couldn' perform in the brothel at the end paid towards everyone else's fun Nov 02 23:28:54 Well... I had basically no friends at the academy, and until recently, hadn't been in a brothel, so its no wonder I've not heard of it Nov 02 23:29:03 * DeeDee nods Nov 02 23:29:44 We havn' done it in a couple of years all together. Nov 02 23:30:01 * DeeDee offers him the pipe again Nov 02 23:30:07 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 02 23:30:23 I'd best get back... Molly will be wondering if I'm alright Nov 02 23:30:30 * DeeDee nods Nov 02 23:31:29 I'll get m' shit together and be ready to ride soon Nov 02 23:31:50 * Morgan nods, standing up Nov 02 23:31:53 You need anything? Nov 02 23:32:08 Nah, I'm good Nov 02 23:32:28 * Morgan nods Nov 02 23:32:32 I'll see you shortly Nov 02 23:32:46 *the butler hasn't brought the drink because he's fallen asleep on a chair in the hall* Nov 02 23:33:10 * Morgan rouses him gently Nov 02 23:33:52 B: Sorry, my Lord, I must have dropped off. Always a rough night when Dieppe has his nightmares Nov 02 23:33:58 * Morgan nods Nov 02 23:34:23 I think he'll be alright for a little while... from one man who's worked below stairs to another, go find somewhere warm and comfortable and catch twenty minutes Nov 02 23:34:39 * DeeDee looks vaguely surprised Nov 02 23:34:52 B: yes, my Lord Nov 02 23:35:18 * Morgan nods, letting himself out and getting his horse sorted Nov 02 23:36:23 *there's more people on the streets now, and although there's waving there's no one stopping him. He gets back to the stables with ease. Molly is waiting for him, cloak on and gloves on this time Nov 02 23:36:29 * DeeDee is now known as Molly Nov 02 23:37:06 * Molly watches him seriously, steadying the horse for him to dismount Nov 02 23:37:31 * Morgan climbs down, unsaddling the horse Nov 02 23:37:38 You needn't have waited out here Nov 02 23:37:46 I was worried for tou Nov 02 23:37:58 I told you I would do myself no harm Nov 02 23:38:42 Yes, but I am still allowed to worry about your happiness and well-being. I -am- your wife. Nov 02 23:38:53 * Morgan scowls Nov 02 23:38:55 I know that Nov 02 23:39:20 * Molly opens the stall for the horse then bolts him in. She looks at Morgan Nov 02 23:39:45 Why are you angry with -me-? Nov 02 23:40:23 * Morgan sighs Nov 02 23:40:46 Sorry. It felt like you were being... argumentative. Nov 02 23:40:58 We can have an almighty row if you wish for one. Nov 02 23:41:08 I really would rather not Nov 02 23:41:27 Nor I Nov 02 23:42:04 Then perhaps you would stop being so... I don't know, it feels like you are pushing for a fight... y'know what I mean? Nov 02 23:42:42 Yes, my love. Everyone is at breakfast, what can I do to help you now? Nov 02 23:43:08 We need to eat. We have a long day ahead again Nov 02 23:43:19 * Molly nods Nov 02 23:43:54 I have already eaten, but I will walk with you to the dinning room Nov 02 23:45:13 * Morgan nods Nov 02 23:45:25 I tried some of DeeDee's tobacco... its effective. Nov 02 23:45:36 * Molly looks surprised Nov 02 23:45:48 That's good but unexpected Nov 02 23:46:46 * Morgan nods Nov 02 23:46:51 I can see why he raves about it Nov 02 23:47:02 * Molly nods Nov 02 23:47:20 He has nightmares too? Nov 02 23:47:45 * Molly walks towards the dinning room Nov 02 23:48:05 * Morgan nods Nov 02 23:48:07 Now and then Nov 02 23:48:15 The tobacco wards them off for the most part Nov 02 23:48:22 * Molly nods Nov 02 23:48:33 Do you think it might do that for you? Nov 02 23:49:41 I doubt it Nov 02 23:49:49 * Molly nods Nov 02 23:50:03 Did you stay awake until I threw myself at you? Nov 02 23:50:49 That was my intention... I can hear the mind of the mine if I put a shard to each ear... I didn't realise it would relax me so much I'd just fall asleep Nov 02 23:51:14 Oh. Was that part bad too? Nov 02 23:51:22 No... something new Nov 02 23:51:38 But not a nightmare? Nov 02 23:53:05 no Nov 02 23:53:14 A path? Nov 02 23:53:54 Reckon so Nov 02 23:54:09 * Molly smiles Nov 02 23:54:21 I look forward to hearing it Nov 02 23:54:31 Later, once my bad mood has dissipated Nov 02 23:55:07 * Molly nods "nothing that could be a warning for the day ahead" Nov 02 23:55:09 . Nov 02 23:55:12 ? Nov 02 23:55:13 No, nothing Nov 02 23:55:20 * Molly nods Nov 02 23:55:44 What did you tell the others? Nov 02 23:56:06 That you had a nightmare and needed some time to yourself Nov 02 23:57:13 * Morgan nods Nov 02 23:57:18 Alright Nov 02 23:57:44 * Molly gets to the antechamber Nov 02 23:58:06 I'll leave you here, I need to return a book to the library Nov 02 23:58:37 * Morgan nods, pulling her to him, holding her tightly for a moment Nov 02 23:58:58 * Molly holds him, whispering "do you need more?" Nov 02 23:59:07 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 02 23:59:20 You cannot affect the part that needs healing right now... I'll be alright
