**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Nov 3 00:00:09 2022 Nov 03 00:00:09 * Molly nods, gently touching the braid a moment Nov 03 00:00:33 I'll get everything ready Nov 03 00:01:13 * Morgan nods Nov 03 00:01:15 Alright Nov 03 00:01:48 * Molly leaves him there, the antechamber feeling very empty Nov 03 00:02:46 * Morgan takes a moment to tense and release each muscle before walking into the dining room Nov 03 00:03:55 *Breakfast is fine, no one else seems troubled, just Varick, HH, Inga, Claudia and Faulk, their travel party becoming even smaller. He's been eating ten minutes when he hears [I think the Eisenfurstin is in the library again] Nov 03 00:04:32 [what makes you say that?] Nov 03 00:05:07 [books keep falling, all adult romances!] Nov 03 00:05:36 [She has something of a sense of humour, that one] Nov 03 00:06:30 [Faulk said we could borrow anything we wanted. Is there likely to be anything you would want to borrow?] Nov 03 00:06:59 Do we have a copy of Leopolds books? Nov 03 00:07:44 [on the Rose. *theres a pause* the first volume is here] Nov 03 00:08:10 [I'll ask if we can borrow that shall I?] Nov 03 00:08:22 [if you wish, my love] Nov 03 00:09:40 Your Grace, I recall from our previous visit a book on the supernatural by Leopold Rosenkrantz, Molly's grandfather... I was wondering if we could borrow it? Nov 03 00:10:16 F: Yes, you can. Nov 03 00:10:24 * Morgan inclines his head Nov 03 00:10:27 Thank you Nov 03 00:10:47 *Varick is stuffing his face* Mama's cousin is Sebastian Rosenkrantz, and he has a bum Nov 03 00:11:12 **HH nearly chokes on his breakfast* Nov 03 00:11:17 Varick, we've spoken about that, haven't we? Nov 03 00:11:36 V: Oh, sorry, Papa. He doesn't have a bum Nov 03 00:11:55 * Morgan rubs at his forehead Nov 03 00:12:51 * Inga can't keep a straight face. Faulk looks like a man who has been through all of this with three boys of his own, smiling slightly* Nov 03 00:14:02 *HH tells Faulk about the odd coincidence of him already knowing Rosie, their lost link, and refinding each other. This gives Morgan time to eat* Nov 03 00:15:18 * Morgan does so Nov 03 00:15:29 [he says we can take the book] Nov 03 00:17:29 [thank you] *With breakfast done, Faulk says to send a servant for him when they are about to leave. Molly has organised everything, so they are soon ready. Faulk does come out to say goodbye, thanking them for accompanying him home and volunteering his Atemlos townhouse if they need to stay over there* Nov 03 00:17:44 F: Goodbye, Morgan, and good luck in Capperlucia Nov 03 00:19:22 Thank you your Grace... aside from one occurrence, it has been a pleasure seeing you again Nov 03 00:19:54 F: *He smiles* Indeed. I hope to see you at my Daughter's wedding Nov 03 00:20:25 * Morgan bows his head Nov 03 00:20:32 I certainly hope so your Grace Nov 03 00:22:01 F: *inclines his head. Behind him Katherine and Mia wave goodbye for the doorstep, but they might also be waving at HH who is watching them a little suspiciously even still* Nov 03 00:23:14 * Morgan hauls himself up into the saddle, looking at those around him Nov 03 00:24:05 * Molly is in the only carriage with Varick and Inga, HH and Claudia on horseback. Nov 03 00:24:32 * Morgan sets his horse moving Nov 03 00:25:16 *the rest move off too, leaving the house down the drive* Nov 03 00:26:03 [I could ride with you if you need, or I will give you space to be alone or talk to your friends] Nov 03 00:26:45 [I don't mind. If you wish to ride with me thats fine, if not, thats fine as well Nov 03 00:27:10 [you do not need time alone?] Nov 03 00:29:21 [No, I'm alright] Nov 03 00:31:50 * Molly doesn't join him until they stop at Potts' briefly to pick him up. His hair is wet, as if the cold water dunk has occurred. He rides beside Claudia out front, then the carriage, HH, and Molly and Morgan bringing up the rear Nov 03 00:32:20 We'll stop in Tannen like last time, in the same tavern if we can Nov 03 00:32:31 * Morgan nods Nov 03 00:32:33 Alright Nov 03 00:34:42 * Molly sits up straight whilst they're on the busy part of the east road headed south. It's different in early January that late August when they last came this way. She looks around. He notices there are two slightly different textures of fabric in the back of her cloak, a line on each side Nov 03 00:35:06 What's going on with your cloak? Nov 03 00:35:22 Oh, I had the maids work on it Nov 03 00:35:31 Why? Nov 03 00:36:08 Well... so that if Varick rides behind me he can hold on to me safely and still have nice warm arms Nov 03 00:36:49 Not... for access? Nov 03 00:37:05 That's not what I told them it was for... Nov 03 00:38:23 But it is? Nov 03 00:38:39 Yes, that was my plan Nov 03 00:38:57 * Morgan nods Nov 03 00:39:31 That suits you? Nov 03 00:39:50 It will... just not right now Nov 03 00:40:05 No, I know, my love Nov 03 00:40:38 Do you wish to tell me what happened? Nov 03 00:41:36 You recall that you drank some of the wine... well, this time you had been talking animatedly to the Eisenfurst and downed the entire glass... I watched you die moments Nov 03 00:41:52 * Molly nods Nov 03 00:42:09 Pennyroyal in that concentration is very quick Nov 03 00:42:33 She deserved to suffer that herself... as it stands I'm glad I was the one who drove a sword through her Nov 03 00:42:43 * Molly nods Nov 03 00:43:01 As am I Nov 03 00:43:23 This morning I went and did something I should be ashamed of, and called her things I've never called anyone Nov 03 00:43:43 * Molly puts her hand over his Nov 03 00:43:54 It's alright to feel so angry Nov 03 00:44:05 * Morgan nods Nov 03 00:44:11 You have _got_ to keep that ring on Nov 03 00:44:24 I had removed it? Nov 03 00:44:32 * Morgan nods Nov 03 00:44:48 Dammit, I meant to ask the Nieblungen something before we left Nov 03 00:44:58 Oh? Nov 03 00:45:56 They witter on about our children, or if we had not been together, our childrens children... Yet if I die, I am replaced, if you die, all is lost.... There's some disconnect there and I would have a reason for it Nov 03 00:47:25 Except in the dreams your children with Dietlinde wed mine with Seb... perhaps I am the last option, it had to be the four of us, and we are on shakier ground than they wish... Nov 03 00:48:38 But there are no children of my blood... if I die and you have children with Sebastien, there are no Koertigs from me for them to marry... Nov 03 00:49:07 No, but there's Florrie and Jarvie's baby Nov 03 00:49:17 Even so... Nov 03 00:49:23 * Molly nods Nov 03 00:50:37 I... don't think I want to know if there's another woman out there who would be a wife for you. Nov 03 00:50:48 * Morgan nods Nov 03 00:50:51 Alright Nov 03 00:51:20 All this with Seb has brought us nothing but heartache Nov 03 00:51:44 * Morgan nods, looking round Nov 03 00:52:10 Would -you- want to know if she exists? To find her? Nov 03 00:52:52 No... I'd want her left alone Nov 03 00:53:15 Why? Nov 03 00:54:32 Because its not fair to her. Why should she go through life lonely just in case... besides, given that in any dream you have died in, the Nieblungen are distraught... she is gone, all is lost. You are irreplaceable to them for this... and to me, for other reasons Nov 03 00:55:17 * Molly nods, leaning back to him "I'd rather like to hear some of those" Nov 03 00:56:35 You have turned my heart back to flesh from cold hard stone... Nov 03 00:57:07 * Molly takes a breath, then nods, smiling Nov 03 00:57:12 That's very nice Nov 03 00:57:35 Why the pause? Nov 03 00:58:02 It's too beautiful a sentiment for the silly innuendo that came to mind Nov 03 00:59:44 * Morgan nods Nov 03 01:02:05 What else my love? Nov 03 01:03:39 You are my world Nov 03 01:04:18 * Molly has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Nov 03 01:05:24 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 03 10:03:40 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Nov 03 10:07:56 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 03 10:43:04 * MollyK squeezes his hand "you know you are mine, utterly?" Nov 03 10:43:14 Hmm? Nov 03 10:43:48 My world. Nov 03 10:48:36 * Morgan nods, wrapping an arm around her and squeezing her Nov 03 10:48:52 * MollyK sighs happily Nov 03 10:49:22 It seems odd to be down to just the seven of us and the two coachmen, don't you think? Nov 03 10:53:03 * Morgan nods Nov 03 10:53:06 Aye, it does Nov 03 10:53:56 I should imagine you are pleased to be the highest ranking person again Nov 03 10:54:12 * Morgan shrugs Nov 03 10:54:32 Its not made any difference to me in the past... did I tell you I took HeinzHarold with me to see the Nieblungen Nov 03 10:54:50 No! They spoke to you with him there? Nov 03 10:55:03 * Morgan nods Nov 03 10:55:29 Wouldn't let him in the mine, obviously... they weren't keen on letting him in the compound to begin with Nov 03 10:55:57 Did you become very bossy with them, my love? Nov 03 10:56:32 Not particularly... I just said he was my ally and I need him and started backing away Nov 03 10:57:29 What did he think of them? Nov 03 10:58:19 Tough to say... he was mostly concentrating on hearing 'the woman Claudia' Nov 03 11:00:20 * MollyK nods "I am not sure that will please her. It seems very simplistic compared to everyone else's" Nov 03 11:08:30 * Morgan nods Nov 03 11:08:32 I know Nov 03 11:08:50 He heard everything you asked? Nov 03 11:09:33 * Morgan nods Nov 03 11:10:09 It will be useful that he can know all of these things Nov 03 11:10:47 * Morgan nods Nov 03 11:10:49 I thought so Nov 03 11:11:50 He is the twelfth Heinzharold then... Nov 03 11:12:42 * Morgan nods Nov 03 11:12:44 Yes he is Nov 03 11:13:00 Three hundred years of Heinzharolds, give or take! Nov 03 11:13:43 * Morgan nods Nov 03 11:13:47 thats... a long time Nov 03 11:16:34 Almost as long as Koertigs have been the Grafs of Sudlachenburg Nov 03 11:17:11 * Morgan nods Nov 03 11:17:12 Indeed Nov 03 11:18:47 And long may that continue from us! Nov 03 11:19:06 * Morgan nods, looking round Nov 03 11:19:09 I hope so Nov 03 11:19:28 *Everything is peaceful* Nov 03 11:20:05 I haven't spoken to Inga about it, but I expect from the smiles they had this morning I am going to have to buy more oil Nov 03 11:20:22 BubbyRubbyRub? Nov 03 11:23:59 * MollyK giggles Nov 03 11:24:09 That was Inga's plan Nov 03 11:24:15 * Morgan nods Nov 03 11:24:17 Thought so Nov 03 11:25:55 I am curious to know if it works Nov 03 11:27:23 Do you need to go back in the coach and find out? Nov 03 11:29:21 No, I think we should keep riding Nov 03 11:29:51 * Morgan nods Nov 03 11:29:53 Alright love Nov 03 11:30:16 But another time we will try it Nov 03 11:30:49 I was actually suggesting you ask Inga not... Nov 03 11:30:58 Oh! Sorry Nov 03 11:32:49 * Morgan nods, settling in the saddle Nov 03 11:33:07 How are you feeling now? Nov 03 11:33:28 * Morgan shrugs Nov 03 11:33:58 Grumpy, angry... like I need to see her punished, but can't... impotent, I suppose. Nov 03 11:34:21 She paid with her life, my love Nov 03 11:35:04 * Morgan shrugs Nov 03 11:36:06 Do you know that Varick did not even mention her name? He did not ask to see her grave. Imagine becoming so irrelevant to your own child... Nov 03 11:36:53 He is _not_ her child Nov 03 11:37:12 But for seven years they both believed he was Nov 03 11:37:26 I suppose so Nov 03 11:37:40 Perhaps if she hadn't mistreated him he would mourn her Nov 03 11:38:09 Maybe... but look how he is moving on from Karsten too Nov 03 11:38:58 * Morgan nods Nov 03 11:39:40 It is quite remarkable Nov 03 11:45:00 * MollyK nods "He was so young. And he is happy with us" Nov 03 11:46:07 * Morgan nods Nov 03 11:46:09 Yes, he is Nov 03 11:48:19 You are also such a support to him in his grief Nov 03 11:49:36 You think so? Nov 03 11:50:33 * MollyK nods Nov 03 11:50:55 I do. You understand his pain in a way that I do not Nov 03 11:51:59 * Morgan nods Nov 03 11:52:17 I suppose so Nov 03 11:53:08 * MollyK rests back against him more Nov 03 11:53:25 Have you thought more about whether he is to go to an Academy? Nov 03 11:53:36 I don't think its a good idea... Nov 03 11:53:41 * MollyK nods Nov 03 11:54:06 Aside from the challenges of his shifting, I just do not want him to. Nov 03 11:54:17 * Morgan nods Nov 03 11:54:52 I imagine that is the purpose of fostering a noble child, so that when they go to the academy, they are not alone Nov 03 11:54:59 * MollyK nods Nov 03 11:55:13 That is a nice idea. They should have done that for you. Nov 03 11:55:26 I don't know why they didn't really Nov 03 11:55:53 I suppose maybe the War? But then Sudlachenburg was so much safer than elsewhere Nov 03 11:56:25 * Morgan nods Nov 03 11:57:46 It is only three and a half years before he would be due to start. I am very concerned that we would be setting him away from us when we are also having lots of babies. He might feel unwanted, like our children by birth are more precious Nov 03 11:58:09 * Morgan nods Nov 03 11:58:32 Alongside the changes he will be experiencing, both as a boy and a shifter... yes I think it a bad idea Nov 03 11:58:39 * MollyK nods Nov 03 11:59:31 I would like Jacques to move to Hafenlohr, Walder too. We could have tutors, and they can teach both boys to an appropriate standard Nov 03 12:00:15 I have spoken to Walder about them relocating... we'll see how the budding romance goes in the meantime Nov 03 12:00:22 * MollyK nods Nov 03 12:01:13 That's nice, isn't it? He has been widowed nine years, and she has never had a partner since James' father died more than twenty years ago Nov 03 12:01:24 * Morgan nods Nov 03 12:01:32 I'd like to see them happy Nov 03 12:01:39 * MollyK nods Nov 03 12:02:01 And Karlsruhe... *she sighs* it will be difficult for me not to meddle there Nov 03 12:02:21 You're not going to become like your mother, are you? Nov 03 12:02:35 * MollyK glances over her shoulder Nov 03 12:03:41 They say most women become like their mothers eventually, and a man should cast an assessing gaze over his potential mother in law to see if he would still be physically able to bed his wife in another twenty or thirty years Nov 03 12:04:51 I know... but the desire to meddle is one of your mothers less appealing traits, and I would rather avoid pushing Karlsruhe in case he decides his original intent is still his preferred option Nov 03 12:05:13 I would not push, but it will be hard not to nurture Nov 03 12:05:25 * Morgan nods Nov 03 12:05:48 I'm going to ask him to be my overseer for Gottkirchen.. and suggest he hires some of his old company... Nov 03 12:05:54 * MollyK nods Nov 03 12:06:01 I like them all Nov 03 12:06:05 * Morgan nods Nov 03 12:06:07 As do I Nov 03 12:06:14 Even the little one Nov 03 12:07:13 The little one... Nov 03 12:07:29 Izemalous, the dwarf Nov 03 12:07:56 * Morgan nods Nov 03 12:08:03 Can't say I had much to do with him Nov 03 12:08:11 * MollyK giggles Nov 03 12:08:30 He told me the very rude joke about the ass and the honeycomb Nov 03 12:09:21 * Morgan nods Nov 03 12:09:25 Ah... yes Nov 03 12:11:17 * MollyK is quiet a minute Nov 03 12:11:50 When Stef, Inga, and I were playing the game about picking men to save the world with...? Nov 03 12:12:17 Yes? Nov 03 12:12:33 Stef said I would pick Potts to kiss because he has so much sadness in him, because it is -me-... Nov 03 12:12:52 right... Nov 03 12:13:11 Is that what people think of me? That I am only drawn to men who have heartache? Nov 03 12:13:39 I think it is more that you have an innate desire to help people who have suffered Nov 03 12:13:59 But I wouldn't be helping Potts by kissing him Nov 03 12:16:04 No... Nov 03 12:16:35 * MollyK shakes it off Nov 03 12:16:47 I couldn't think who I should say really Nov 03 12:17:08 No... Nov 03 12:17:56 I think Dekker would be an excellent choice for anyone to have children with. He has a natural paternalism Nov 03 12:18:21 * Morgan nods Nov 03 12:18:24 yes... yes he does Nov 03 12:18:45 Though Edward will be a wonderful father too Nov 03 12:18:56 * Morgan nods Nov 03 12:19:10 He is wonderful with children. Florrie warmed to him fairly quickly Nov 03 12:19:33 That reminds me, he sends his love, and was very pleased with your sketch. He is sending the nightmare trap down to Zweibrucke Nov 03 12:19:49 * Morgan nods Nov 03 12:20:13 The Nieblungen have no idea how what _really_ happened with Alarice has come to him in his dreams... Nov 03 12:20:38 That is strange... but then they do not have any influence on our dreams either Nov 03 12:20:51 No... they can see a few of mine now Nov 03 12:21:16 Oh? They are able to see more again then? Nov 03 12:21:54 A little. Nov 03 12:22:02 * MollyK nods Nov 03 12:22:11 But not enough to help? Nov 03 12:22:39 No, not really Nov 03 12:22:43 * MollyK nods Nov 03 12:23:01 I am a great deal of trouble with my path wandering Nov 03 12:23:38 * Morgan nods Nov 03 12:23:55 They really didn't anticipate you leaving the shield when we faced the Schneeskald Nov 03 12:24:17 * MollyK nods a little Nov 03 12:24:31 It made sense to me in the moment Nov 03 12:24:44 * Morgan nods Nov 03 12:24:55 We are in agreement that we face things together from now on? Nov 03 12:25:17 Yes, my love Nov 03 12:28:19 * Morgan nods Nov 03 12:28:21 *she sighs* You would not have all these painful nightmares of alternative paths if it was not for me. Nov 03 12:28:47 I'd not have it them if there were not five hundred years of meddling so we can face... something. Nov 03 12:28:56 * MollyK nods Nov 03 12:29:11 Goodness knows what is coming. Nov 03 12:29:59 Oh I'm sure the Nieblungen know Nov 03 12:30:05 * MollyK nods Nov 03 12:30:09 A good point. Nov 03 12:30:53 Did they mention that in front of Heinzharold? Are we allowed to tell him about it? Nov 03 12:31:40 I made a point to say I wanted to tell him everything. They agreed... him, Claudia, Sebastien, Edward. Nov 03 12:31:52 * MollyK sighs with relief Nov 03 12:31:57 Oh, that is good! Nov 03 12:32:38 I wonder if your father has made contact with your... what, great uncle? Nov 03 12:32:47 * MollyK nods Nov 03 12:32:53 He was going to write Nov 03 12:34:06 * Morgan nods Nov 03 12:34:41 Dear Eisen man... I don't like what your brother did... I will put up with having an Eisen relative, but you better not mention it... Nov 03 12:35:33 That's a little unkind, my love. My Father loves Eisen. Nov 03 12:36:30 * Morgan nods Nov 03 12:36:39 That was still his reaction, my love... Nov 03 12:39:01 I know, and he was distressed. No one wants to think of their father being proven not their father, or that they were conceived through temporary lust and not love Nov 03 12:39:13 * Morgan nods, looking around Nov 03 12:39:15 I suppose so Nov 03 12:39:25 It felt personal for you? Nov 03 12:39:32 * Morgan nods Nov 03 12:39:35 Yes, it did Nov 03 12:39:50 My Father loves you, liebes herz Nov 03 12:40:45 * Morgan shrugs Nov 03 12:41:35 You are so complex, my love Nov 03 12:41:46 Am I? Nov 03 12:41:52 * MollyK nods Nov 03 12:42:43 For some time you were resistant to all things Eisen, but it has remained a fierce part of you, and a slight to Eisen is a slight to you Nov 03 12:43:34 I didn't want to be reminded of the place Nov 03 12:43:42 * MollyK nods Nov 03 12:44:13 I know. I was so very touched when you showed me Sudlachenburg on the map, and when you taught me the language Nov 03 12:44:23 Really? Nov 03 12:44:30 * MollyK nods Nov 03 12:44:48 You were letting me see you, see your world. Nov 03 12:45:07 * Morgan nods Nov 03 12:45:59 It felt... like you were trusting me, that I would accept that part of who you are, and to be gentle with it Nov 03 12:46:15 Wasn't quite ready to, was I Nov 03 12:46:44 Do you think so? Nov 03 12:47:43 I'm still not very good at being gentle to myself Nov 03 12:48:43 I meant you were trusting that I would be gentle with that part of you, to be kind and not to probe too deeply Nov 03 12:49:00 Oh... oh yes Nov 03 12:49:21 Had you thought of this so deeply, or did it just happen? Nov 03 12:50:18 I rarely think of things that deeply my love Nov 03 12:50:25 * MollyK giggles Nov 03 12:50:39 And I do, too deeply Nov 03 12:51:08 Sometimes Nov 03 12:51:14 * MollyK nods Nov 03 12:51:27 We should balance out well Nov 03 12:51:46 * Morgan nods Nov 03 12:51:48 Indeed we should Nov 03 12:51:52 You must be tired, my love, it was late when you came to bed. Nov 03 12:51:54 * Morgan sighs Nov 03 12:52:01 I feel like I should be cross with you Nov 03 12:52:09 Why? Nov 03 12:52:32 You used your magic on me without my permission... that _should_ have made me furious Nov 03 12:53:48 You may be as furious as you wish, but hell will freeze over before I allow you to suffer like that Nov 03 12:53:59 * Morgan nods Nov 03 12:54:08 I'm not. Nov 03 12:54:27 Besides, your suffering pains me, and I know you would not want me to be at all pained, so... Nov 03 12:55:16 * MollyK shrugs Nov 03 12:55:37 I'm sorry you were woken by such noise Nov 03 12:56:04 No, my love, I am glad I awoke, I wouldn't have you suffer alone like that Nov 03 12:56:38 * Morgan nods, fishing his flask out of his coat, sipping it Nov 03 12:57:08 I was dreaming something nice though, and when you are much more cheerful I will tell, or show, you. Nov 03 12:57:16 * Morgan nods Nov 03 12:57:17 Alright Nov 03 12:57:24 Weren't a nurse, were you? Nov 03 12:57:33 * MollyK shakes her head Nov 03 12:57:42 Just me, I'm afraid. Why? Nov 03 12:59:43 Just wondering if it tallied with my first dream Nov 03 13:03:25 I was a nurse? Nov 03 13:04:22 * Morgan nods Nov 03 13:04:23 indeed Nov 03 13:05:18 Might you need to tell me later? Nov 03 13:05:28 I don't _need_ to, but I will Nov 03 13:05:43 I would like that Nov 03 13:06:26 * Morgan nods Nov 03 13:06:29 Alright Nov 03 13:06:44 If it was something pleasant and also naughty, involving a nurse, it sounds like something Heinzharold and Inga might like! Nov 03 13:06:59 Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest Nov 03 13:07:11 * MollyK nods Nov 03 13:07:26 Would you like me to sing for you a while? Nov 03 13:07:48 If you wish to Nov 03 13:08:13 Unless there is something else you wish to discuss? Nov 03 13:12:07 * Morgan shakes his head, looking round again Nov 03 13:12:48 *Molly sings a few hours, eventually making herself sleepy, and goes for a nap mid-morning, which lets him pick DeeDee, HH, or Claudia to ride alongside* Nov 03 13:14:07 * Morgan rides alongside Claudia Nov 03 13:14:20 * MollyK is now known as Claudia Nov 03 13:14:28 How are you? Nov 03 13:16:03 * Morgan shrugs Nov 03 13:16:05 grumpy Nov 03 13:16:11 * Claudia nods Nov 03 13:16:28 I heard it was a very bad night Nov 03 13:17:22 * Morgan nods, looking out over the landscape Nov 03 13:17:26 Aye, it was Nov 03 13:17:34 Anything I can do? Nov 03 13:18:09 Not unless you've been keeping the ability to raise the dead from me Nov 03 13:18:21 *it's mostly sparse trees and open farmland, the houses sparse* Nov 03 13:18:42 Most of this would never have happened if I could. Nov 03 13:19:00 * Morgan nods, reaching out and grasping her shoulder briefly Nov 03 13:19:49 * Claudia puts her hand on his, squeezing gently on his hand. It's surprisingly affectionate Nov 03 13:20:03 How was your night? Nov 03 13:20:31 Fine Nov 03 13:21:27 * Morgan nods Nov 03 13:22:26 Glad to be heading for the ship, no more detours? Nov 03 13:22:41 * Morgan nods Nov 03 13:22:52 I'm looking forward to seeing Sorgi, as well. Nov 03 13:23:00 Yeah, me too Nov 03 13:23:25 * Morgan smiles slightly Nov 03 13:23:30 New ship though... Nov 03 13:24:09 Yep, she should be ready to name now? And the next one only a week or two off? Nov 03 13:24:49 * Morgan nods Nov 03 13:25:01 I've got Witts looking for trade for them Nov 03 13:25:08 * Claudia nods Nov 03 13:25:27 Names ready? Nov 03 13:25:32 * Morgan nods Nov 03 13:25:36 And for a third Nov 03 13:26:05 Are you going to name one for Jana? Nov 03 13:27:20 I'm not sure... I imagine I'll name one eventually for her... I'm not quite ready yet Nov 03 13:41:20 * Claudia nods Nov 03 13:41:33 DeeDee told me you had some special tobacco? Nov 03 13:50:55 * Claudia has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Nov 03 13:53:46 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 03 13:53:58 [13:28:36] Claudia: DeeDee told me you had some special tobacco? Nov 03 13:54:17 * Morgan nods, frowning Nov 03 13:54:21 I feel I shouldn't have Nov 03 13:54:50 Why? Nov 03 13:54:57 * MollyK is now known as Claudia Nov 03 13:55:11 I don't know... like... I've given up some of my own control Nov 03 13:55:22 You think that about me? Nov 03 13:55:31 No, not at all Nov 03 13:55:57 Then there's no reason to think it about yourself Nov 03 13:56:17 Doesn't work like that, does it Nov 03 13:56:29 No, but it should Nov 03 13:56:54 I suppose so Nov 03 13:57:04 You feel like that when you drink alcohol? Nov 03 13:57:34 No but its very rare for me to drink enough to feel that effect Nov 03 13:58:19 Same here. I don't like drinking to that point, it makes me feel sloppy Nov 03 13:58:29 * Morgan nods Nov 03 13:58:32 Exactly Nov 03 13:59:15 With the tobacco, take enough and you still won't feel sloppy. A bit lazy, but still in control of your body Nov 03 13:59:31 * Morgan shrugs Nov 03 13:59:37 I'll think about it Nov 03 14:00:45 * Claudia smiles "I once did so much I started wondering what the biggest stone on the planet was, and what the littlest was, and when does a stone become gravel instead, and then sand" Nov 03 14:02:07 As deep as that sounds, thats what I worry about Nov 03 14:02:16 Why? Nov 03 14:04:41 Because if I'm thinking like that, I'm not paying attention Nov 03 14:06:02 You don't do that much unless you're somewhere safe to, obviously. Even then I was still aware of what was going on outside the shack, I'd have heard voices or a knock Nov 03 14:07:06 * Morgan nods Nov 03 14:08:36 But a bit just stops the noises in my head Nov 03 14:09:23 * Morgan nods Nov 03 14:09:31 He was telling me had a really rough night Nov 03 14:10:42 * Claudia nods Nov 03 14:10:52 Yeah. He gets it bad Nov 03 14:11:26 * Morgan nods, getting his flask and sipping from it, offering it to her Nov 03 14:11:40 * Claudia takes a little before handing it back Nov 03 14:12:48 He doesn't just get nightmares, but full-blown claustrophobia and panic attacks when he wakes, lasting hours. He has to get outdoors Nov 03 14:13:42 That explains finding him laying in the yard Nov 03 14:13:47 * Claudia nods Nov 03 14:14:15 Yeah, bad nights he'll sleep outside even in the rain Nov 03 14:15:19 I remember doing that on occasion Nov 03 14:15:30 * Claudia nods Nov 03 14:15:58 He tell you he was nearly medically discharged from the army? Nov 03 14:16:09 No... Nov 03 14:16:14 * Claudia nods Nov 03 14:17:14 Something really traumatic happened, and he snapped. Placed out on leave for two weeks to get himself back together. Luckily he found the tobacco helped and he could go back Nov 03 14:17:47 Something to do with women and children... Nov 03 14:17:55 Yeah Nov 03 14:18:00 * Morgan nods Nov 03 14:18:32 He'll be alright with us Nov 03 14:19:25 * Morgan nods Nov 03 14:19:27 Best be Nov 03 14:21:49 * Claudia looks at him Nov 03 14:22:13 You want to just send him home, get someone else to take the horses back? Nov 03 14:22:58 * Morgan shrugs Nov 03 14:23:06 A bit... but I am testy today Nov 03 14:24:23 * Claudia nods Nov 03 14:24:28 Yeah Nov 03 14:26:15 Want me to keep an eye on him? Nov 03 14:26:22 * Morgan nods Nov 03 14:26:33 If he becomes a liability... Nov 03 14:26:43 * Claudia nods Nov 03 14:27:01 He won't. He's protecting us because Edward asked Nov 03 14:28:07 * Morgan nods Nov 03 14:29:12 I'll go up there then. Do you want Heinzharold, or some peace and quiet? Nov 03 14:29:31 Send HeinzHarold back... Nov 03 14:29:44 * Claudia nods, doing that Nov 03 14:29:48 * Claudia is now known as HH Nov 03 14:30:02 Hey, man, how you doing? Nov 03 14:30:18 Been better man Nov 03 14:30:25 * HH nods Nov 03 14:30:36 Time t' bust out the expensive whiskey? Nov 03 14:30:58 Might be y'know Nov 03 14:31:07 * HH chucks him a flask Nov 03 14:31:59 * Morgan catches it, drinking before throwing it back Nov 03 14:32:11 * HH puts it away Nov 03 14:32:20 Wanna tell me, or no? Nov 03 14:32:36 * Morgan sniffs Nov 03 14:33:06 Back in august, Molly drank the poison, but only a bit... last night, as I got back, she downed the whole glass. She was dead in moments. Nov 03 14:33:24 Fuckin' hell, man. Nov 03 14:34:38 * Morgan nods Nov 03 14:34:40 yeah Nov 03 14:35:23 Feelin' pretty shook up, huh? Nov 03 14:35:38 * Morgan nods Nov 03 14:35:40 Aye, I am Nov 03 14:36:05 Wanna get some good trainin' in tonight? Nov 03 14:36:31 * Morgan nods Nov 03 14:36:38 Aye, work it off Nov 03 14:36:45 * HH nods Nov 03 14:37:11 Figured y' were stayin' up Nov 03 14:37:25 I was asked to reconsider Nov 03 14:37:42 Do what yer told, do ya? *he grins* Nov 03 14:38:22 I fell asleep on the couch and the dream was actually mostly pleasant, so when she asked again... Nov 03 14:38:41 Y' thought it was safe... Nov 03 14:39:57 * Morgan nods Nov 03 14:40:17 Knew I shoulda stayed up with you Nov 03 14:41:39 No... I could've stayed awake, probably, if I'd tried, there's no reason for you to suffer Nov 03 14:41:50 * HH shrugs Nov 03 14:42:06 Once Inga was asleep it's all good Nov 03 14:43:44 * Morgan shrugs Nov 03 14:43:46 It is what it is Nov 03 14:44:13 Molly wouldn' have sat up with you? Nov 03 14:44:56 Being awake so long is not a trick she learned Nov 03 14:45:04 * HH nods Nov 03 14:45:31 Inga's always in a foul mood if she's awake in the night Nov 03 14:45:49 * Morgan nods Nov 03 14:46:27 Guess we'll pass the Academy on the way out tomorrow Nov 03 14:46:39 * Morgan nods Nov 03 14:46:43 I'd have thought so, aye Nov 03 14:47:03 We'd been way too much chaos for them *he grins* Nov 03 14:47:22 Have been* Nov 03 14:48:12 * Morgan nods Nov 03 14:48:16 No doubt about that Nov 03 14:48:51 * HH nods. Twenty minutes passes, lunchtime approaching Nov 03 14:49:02 You gonna talk to Rosie about the draw? Nov 03 14:50:17 You know him best man... how would he take any of it? Nov 03 14:51:08 Tough t' say. Probably not ackshully felt the draw, has he? Nov 03 14:52:02 Unless he was within a hundred miles for any of them Nov 03 14:53:58 Probably not. Think Freiburg woulda been closest but more like two fifty? Nov 03 14:55:00 * Morgan nods Nov 03 14:55:08 I am actually grateful for that Nov 03 14:55:30 Hurts to think o' him wanting her Nov 03 14:55:33 ? Nov 03 14:56:51 Well, yes but... imagine feeling that as strongly as I do and having no idea why Nov 03 14:57:06 * HH nods Nov 03 14:57:58 Reckon he would realises it's her specifically, rather than just wantin' something in a particular place and being really horny? Nov 03 14:58:34 * Morgan shrugs Nov 03 14:58:36 No idea Nov 03 14:58:57 * HH nods "me either" Nov 03 14:59:26 Least y' can predict it, know when to stay away Nov 03 14:59:36 * Morgan nods Nov 03 14:59:42 True, that is something at least Nov 03 15:00:49 Going there when we get back from Capp'lucia Nov 03 15:00:51 ? Nov 03 15:01:39 maybe... lets be honest, got a bit of time to consider it Nov 03 15:01:58 Gonna be like in th' War, lotsa time on our hands Nov 03 15:02:06 * Morgan nods Nov 03 15:03:06 See now why some of th' army guys let their wives follow th' drum. I'd miss Inga too much now Nov 03 15:03:39 * Morgan nods Nov 03 15:03:50 I know what you mean... bit risky though Nov 03 15:03:56 * HH nods Nov 03 15:04:23 Yeah, but I know she'd prefer to be there, not just get me back in a box Nov 03 15:05:04 * Morgan nods Nov 03 15:05:32 An' you couldn't leave Molly behind, too useful for patching people up Nov 03 15:05:59 * Morgan nods Nov 03 15:06:18 I couldn't be without her anyway, let alone for her healing Nov 03 15:06:26 * HH nods Nov 03 15:06:48 Always need some bubbies to keep y' warm in camps Nov 03 15:07:07 Some bubbyrubbies Nov 03 15:07:26 * HH looks at him "how'd you know about that?" Nov 03 15:08:02 Because I'm not stupid Nov 03 15:08:47 All these years, y' never told me about it?! You know how much I love bubbies, man! Nov 03 15:09:01 * Morgan shrugs Nov 03 15:09:09 Molly mentioned it... its never occurred to me Nov 03 15:09:26 Tell you what, I'll make it up to you by giving you an ego boost shall I? Nov 03 15:09:36 Go on then? Nov 03 15:10:56 Was talking to Stef, we chatted about that game... she said she'd kiss you to save the world... I conceded that, to save the world, I probably would too... no tongues though... I've seen you eating bacon and she says 'so have I... Inga's a lucky woman' Nov 03 15:11:33 * HH grins "yeah she is! Lots o' practice in camps, see?" Nov 03 15:11:42 Eating bacon? Nov 03 15:11:51 Eating something! Nov 03 15:13:10 * Morgan nods Nov 03 15:13:20 How you feeling about seeing the Nieblungen now? Nov 03 15:13:46 They were wei-.... hang on. What Stef said is more an ego boost to you than me any'ow! Nov 03 15:14:33 No... I _could_ be on the list... you _are_ on the list Nov 03 15:14:49 And yes, they are weird Nov 03 15:14:54 In the game she said as she couldn' pick either of their husbands, she'd pick DeeDee to kiss and Edward for sexy fun times. Nov 03 15:15:12 * HH grins Nov 03 15:15:20 mmhmm Nov 03 15:15:44 Either yer really fuckin' dense, or you know what tha' meant. Nov 03 15:16:03 Dunno what you're on about man Nov 03 15:16:12 * HH watches his expression Nov 03 15:16:22 * Morgan looks sincere Nov 03 15:16:44 She'd kiss me, and have "carnal relations" with you! Nov 03 15:16:49 tosh Nov 03 15:17:30 * HH shakes his head "Nah man! I'm gonna ask our girls, see if they agree" Nov 03 15:38:37 You _sure_ you wanna do that? Nov 03 15:56:22 * HH has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Nov 03 15:56:24 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 03 16:02:33 Inga won't care. World ain't ending. But if it was, to save myself, her, our kids, or any of you, she'd be okay with it. Nov 03 16:02:41 * MollyK is now known as HH Nov 03 16:07:06 Thats some tenuous logic man Nov 03 16:07:33 That Stef would ride the Morgan Stallion t' save the world? Nov 03 16:07:49 You're postulating Nov 03 16:08:10 Wan' me to ride back t' Fischler and ask her? Nov 03 16:08:29 Nope Nov 03 16:08:37 * HH laughs Nov 03 16:09:31 I'll ask Inga later, I'm in the good books f' being her guinea pig over the bubbyrub Nov 03 16:09:53 She won't know man, you heard the same as she did Nov 03 16:10:20 Girls talk. I bet I could uncover all manner o' stuff Nov 03 16:11:41 Probably, aye Nov 03 16:12:30 Now we ain't got 'is Grace with us, we can sing all the rude songs Nov 03 16:13:22 We still have my son with us... besides... I've got one I'm working on Nov 03 16:14:31 A rude song? Nov 03 16:14:59 No... Nov 03 16:17:25 Obscene poetry, like your brother. "There was a island called Morgan's Rock, whose owner was a bit of a..." Nov 03 16:18:03 Legend Nov 03 16:18:20 * HH laughs Nov 03 16:18:34 Doesn't rhyme, man Nov 03 16:19:04 Thats peak artistry is it, rhyming? Nov 03 16:19:46 Guess so Nov 03 16:20:05 * Morgan nods Nov 03 16:20:08 Good to know Nov 03 16:22:36 So whatcha writing? Nov 03 16:23:04 Its... been writing it for a while Nov 03 16:24:01 What's it about? Nov 03 16:25:09 What I was dealing with when I started feeling things for Molly... Edward... me...

Few days there, come back with th' new ship, rejoin the Rose, and we'll sod off somewhere hot Nov 03 16:45:35 * Morgan nods Nov 03 16:45:45 Its an idea...

Gonna need to help em understand about magic and Varick shifting, and all that Nov 03 17:08:49 * HH nods Nov 03 17:08:56 Yeah, we talked 'bout that Nov 03 17:09:01 Yeah? Nov 03 17:09:26 Yep. Gonna teach 'em from the beginning that they don' need to be scared Nov 03 17:09:54 Gotta mix that with keeping it quiet though Nov 03 17:10:03 Yeah Nov 03 17:12:33 Can you teach me how to make something? I wanna make a little cross for Dietlinde's gravestone Nov 03 17:13:47 From metal, yeah? Nov 03 17:14:52 * Morgan nods Nov 03 17:15:03 Well, yeah... Nov 03 17:15:34 * HH nods Nov 03 17:15:56 Sure man, soon as we get ourselves time in a forge Nov 03 17:17:13 * Morgan nods Nov 03 17:17:18 Could be a while... no hurry Nov 03 17:18:37 * HH nods Nov 03 17:18:42 Okay Nov 03 17:21:07 * Morgan nods Nov 03 17:21:09 Thanks man Nov 03 17:21:40 * HH nods Nov 03 17:21:50 Nice idea Nov 03 17:22:13 I wanted something for my son Nov 03 17:22:21 * HH nods Nov 03 17:22:35 Definitely. I'da seen to it if I'd known Nov 03 17:23:39 I know you would have. This gives me a chance to do right Nov 03 17:24:01 * HH nods "y' need that closure" Nov 03 17:24:44 * Morgan nods Nov 03 17:24:47 Yes, exactly Nov 03 17:25:21 * HH nods, looking on ahead past the carriage Nov 03 17:25:28 They're looking pretty cosy Nov 03 17:25:48 They get along well Nov 03 17:25:53 * HH nods Nov 03 17:26:07 Doesn' seem like she might stab 'im anymore Nov 03 17:26:40 * Morgan nods Nov 03 17:27:12 It'll all make sense one day Nov 03 17:27:33 Hope so Nov 03 17:27:43 * Morgan laughs quietly Nov 03 17:27:44 Me too Nov 03 17:27:52 * HH nods Nov 03 17:28:07 Til it does, may as well kill th' time Nov 03 17:28:32 no... no no no... Nov 03 17:29:16 * HH opens his mouth, singing "NIIIIIIIIINE.....!" Nov 03 17:29:45 * Morgan thumps him Nov 03 17:30:50 * HH moves his horse a little farther away "HUNDRED EIGHTY EIGHT THOUSAND..." Nov 03 17:31:15 Fuck sake Nov 03 17:32:39 *Thankfully lunch time comes within the first two thousand, and Morgan can then send him on with Claudia, swapping for the quieter lieutenant. The day stays reasonable. This route is familiar, going back to the Academy from Sudlachenburg each time his holidays were over, especially this time of year after the long Prophets mass break, heart heavy Nov 03 17:32:39 and knowing he would not see Verity and Heinzharold for a few months. They pass many people in both directions, occassionally stopping to pass brief small talk, sometimes riding alongside others when pace and routes match. HH takes the lead in the chatter* Nov 03 17:33:03 * HH is now known as DeeDee Nov 03 17:33:18 Are you better, my Lord? Nov 03 17:34:13 Back to my lord are we? Nov 03 17:34:27 Was I impolite this morning? Nov 03 17:34:59 Not especially... calling me man a lot, thats all. How're you feeling now? Nov 03 17:35:24 My apologies. I am good, thank you Nov 03 17:35:55 No, no need for apologies. Nov 03 17:37:00 It's a great leveller, the lines between nobles and commoners more blurred Nov 03 17:37:36 So... what we need to do is get everyone smoking that stuff... Nov 03 17:37:44 * DeeDee nods Nov 03 17:37:53 Sounds good to me Nov 03 17:38:47 * Morgan nods Nov 03 17:40:16 As I said, if you want some, I can give you some. A pipe too. Nov 03 17:40:47 * Morgan nods Nov 03 17:41:03 I'd appreciate that... just for emergencies... Nov 03 17:41:11 * DeeDee nods Nov 03 17:41:28 I will sort it when we arrive, my Lord Nov 03 17:41:33 * Morgan nods Nov 03 17:41:34 Thank you Nov 03 17:41:40 You're welcome Nov 03 17:43:01 *they arrive in the town in good time, and between him and Molly they remember where they stayed before, a good but busy inn. It’s quieter now, and they manage to get an adjoining room for Varick. There’s enough time for him to spend an hour playing or going for a walk with Varick whilst the others get settled for the night* Nov 03 17:44:31 * Morgan takes Varick for a walk Nov 03 17:44:47 * DeeDee is now known as Varick Nov 03 17:45:14 * Varick bounds along at his side, happy to be out of the carriage at last Nov 03 17:45:40 I came to this town in the summer, we saw your school Nov 03 17:46:17 Oh? What did you think? Nov 03 17:47:11 It's big Nov 03 17:48:04 * Morgan nods Nov 03 17:48:07 Yes, it is Nov 03 17:48:20 Can we walk there now? Nov 03 17:48:58 Uhh, yes, should be able to Nov 03 17:50:38 *they can get there avoiding the taverns and brothels. There's boys inside the gates from eleven to seventeen, playing games or just chatting. Varick watches them Nov 03 17:50:44 Did you like school? Nov 03 17:51:48 Honestly, yes and no Nov 03 17:51:57 Why? Nov 03 17:52:20 I liked learning new things but I missed home... I didn't have any friends here Nov 03 17:53:38 Uncle Edward met Potts here, and they are best friends Nov 03 17:53:54 That is true, yes Nov 03 17:54:31 What did you learn? Nov 03 17:55:07 New ways to fight, lots of things like maths and science Nov 03 17:56:11 How do people learn that if they don't go to school? Nov 03 17:56:35 Are you trying to work out if you'll have to come here? Nov 03 17:57:47 I don't know. The Vaticine best school is in Paderborn Nov 03 17:58:49 * Morgan nods Nov 03 17:59:07 I don't think I could send you there Nov 03 18:00:16 Why, Papa? That's where my Daddy went Nov 03 18:01:26 I know... remember when me and mama got married? We had to promise to raise our children as objectionist... I think sending you here would be disobeying that Nov 03 18:02:40 Okay Papa. Will I go here? Nov 03 18:04:31 I don't know. *he leans against the gate* We don't want you to be sent away when we start having babies... we don't want you thinking you aren't as precious to us... and with the changes you will have, it might be difficult Nov 03 18:06:52 * Varick looks at a group of laughing boys playing "I do like babies..." Nov 03 18:07:09 * Morgan nods Nov 03 18:07:20 But you want boys to play with Nov 03 18:07:33 And girls maybe Nov 03 18:07:58 * Morgan nods Nov 03 18:08:03 Girls don't go here Nov 03 18:08:08 Why? Nov 03 18:08:47 Not allowed. Only boys get this sort of training, and only noble ones. Claudia is rather unique Nov 03 18:09:06 But it's very big. They could all go to school together Nov 03 18:09:52 * Morgan nods Nov 03 18:09:56 Silly rule isn't it Nov 03 18:10:03 * Varick nods Nov 03 18:10:10 * Varick looks at Morgan Nov 03 18:10:47 Oh wait! If boys and girls both went here they'd be kissing like Heinzharold and Inga and wouldn't learn anything! Nov 03 18:11:46 That is a possibility yes... is that what they were up to when they were looking after you? Nov 03 18:12:54 They put me to bed, and then checked I was asleep, but I woke up when they shut the door, so I wanted to get a drink, but when I looked they were kissing, so I went back to bed Nov 03 18:13:05 * Morgan nods Nov 03 18:13:08 That does happen Nov 03 18:13:33 Do you and Mama do that when you've put me to bed? Nov 03 18:14:21 Sometimes, yes... that is what married people do Nov 03 18:14:42 Do you do the leapfrog so I can have a brother or sister? Nov 03 18:15:34 That isn't really how it works... Nov 03 18:16:17 That's what William, Petey, and Lila said, and I saw a ram doing it. Nov 03 18:16:28 * Morgan nods Nov 03 18:16:51 Thats how it works with livestock... but, see... thats not how it works with people Nov 03 18:17:49 Oh! Is that why people kiss with their mouths open, then he can put a baby in her mouth and when she swallows it will grow in her tummy? Nov 03 18:18:39 No... There's a special seed that you plant in the woman to make a baby, but it comes from your... penis Nov 03 18:19:05 * Varick glances towards his crotch "That?" Nov 03 18:19:10 * Morgan nods Nov 03 18:19:34 Petey says that's called your dingaling Nov 03 18:19:43 Does he now Nov 03 18:19:48 * Varick nods Nov 03 18:20:05 HeinzHarold calls it little HeinzHarold... I suppose everyone calls it something different Nov 03 18:20:36 *the bell rings and the children go in* Nov 03 18:20:44 What do you call it? Nov 03 18:21:04 * Morgan thinks Nov 03 18:21:19 D'ya know, I'm not sure... its not something I talk about Nov 03 18:21:49 What about when you were a boy? What did Grandpa tell you to call it? Nov 03 18:23:03 My private area... your Grandpa is quite shy really Nov 03 18:23:32 *he giggles* That's like your bed chamber! Maybe we should call it a dingaling like Petey then Nov 03 18:23:55 It'll do for now I suppose Nov 03 18:24:03 * Varick nods Nov 03 18:24:32 But babies are huge, and my dingaling isn't big enough to keep a baby in Nov 03 18:25:15 Its a teeny tiny seed that grows into a baby inside the mama Nov 03 18:25:27 How big is it? Nov 03 18:26:09 So small you can't even see it I think... Nov 03 18:26:59 Oh! How would I know if it's fallen out? Nov 03 18:28:24 It only comes out when certain things happen, and your body makes lots and lots of them, so if one falls out, you've got plenty to make babies Nov 03 18:28:50 Phew! I didn't want to lose my babies! Nov 03 18:29:15 * Morgan nods Nov 03 18:31:48 I'm hungry, can we go back now? Nov 03 18:33:28 * Morgan nods, taking his hand and heading back Nov 03 18:33:45 What do you think about going away to the academy? Nov 03 18:34:21 I don't know, I would miss our babies Nov 03 18:36:06 * Morgan nods Nov 03 18:36:26 Mama and I are talking about maybe getting a tutor for you instead Nov 03 18:37:26 What do you want, Papa? Nov 03 18:38:32 I want whats best for you, to help you grow up happy and ready to rule Nov 03 18:42:22 That's not a good answer Nov 03 18:42:37 Its the truth though Nov 03 18:43:16 Do you want me to stay at home? Nov 03 18:43:59 Thing is, I don't want to say because I don't want you to say thats what you want to try to make me happy... Nov 03 18:45:37 But you're my Papa, and you have to decide Nov 03 18:45:54 But I want to know what you think, what you might want to do Nov 03 18:48:06 I want to do both. I don't know. I'm just a small boy Nov 03 18:48:15 * Morgan nods Nov 03 18:48:28 Can you tell me what it is about coming to the academy you want? Nov 03 18:49:23 To have lots of friends Nov 03 18:49:54 * Morgan nods Nov 03 18:49:57 Anything else? Nov 03 18:50:52 No. I would like it best if I could come here in the day and home the rest of the time Nov 03 18:51:29 * Morgan nods Nov 03 18:51:53 I've asked Walder to consider coming to Haefenlor when we live there Nov 03 18:52:07 Jacques would live with us?! Nov 03 18:52:46 Or nearby.... If they decide to... Nov 03 18:52:53 Lady Eldreich said I couldn't be friends with common boys, but she's dead now. Nov 03 18:53:03 Yes. She is. Nov 03 18:53:26 I don't ever have to do what she said ever again. Nov 03 18:53:48 No. No you don't. Nov 03 18:54:30 She wasn't a good mother, not like Mama. Nov 03 18:54:46 You don't think so? Nov 03 18:55:27 Good Mothers don't make governesses spank children Nov 03 18:55:57 That happens... I was spanked as a little boy but only when I was naughty Nov 03 18:57:53 What did you get spanked for? Nov 03 18:59:28 Several things... I ruined a carpet after I'd been told to stop acting up... Stole apples from an orchard... all sorts of things... but it was only a few spanks, never very much Nov 03 19:06:19 I will never ever spank my children Nov 03 19:07:13 * Morgan nods Nov 03 19:07:22 If thats what you decide Nov 03 19:07:32 * Varick nods Nov 03 19:08:00 I will be the Daddy, and I will make the rules Nov 03 19:08:43 * Morgan nods Nov 03 19:08:57 Yes you will... remember to be kind and gentle though when they break them Nov 03 19:09:16 * Varick nods Nov 03 19:09:23 I will Nov 03 19:10:37 *they're nearly back when he says* does the Mama eat the seed? How can she find it if it's tiny? Nov 03 19:11:17 They don't eat it, Varick... its put in a special part of the woman so it can grow inside them Nov 03 19:11:28 Oh, okay, Papa Nov 03 19:12:57 * Varick 's food is waiting in their room at the table. HH and Inga are also in there drinking coffee, and Molly is taking clothes from their trunk. Varick hugs everyone before starting to eat Nov 03 19:13:03 * Varick is now known as Molly Nov 03 19:13:22 * Molly smiles at Morgan "Did you enjoy the walk?" Nov 03 19:13:35 * Morgan nods Nov 03 19:13:39 We talked about a few things Nov 03 19:14:03 * Molly smiles, getting him a cup of coffee Nov 03 19:14:09 Oh? Nov 03 19:14:30 Talked about the academy... how babies are made... Nov 03 19:15:01 * Molly raises an eyebrow Nov 03 19:15:52 V: There's no leapfrog, Mama, and it doesn't go in your mouth! Nov 03 19:16:24 * Molly blinks slowly Nov 03 19:16:39 * Morgan 's face becomes completely expressionless Nov 03 19:16:55 Thank you, Varick. You must be very hungry now after that exercise Nov 03 19:18:33 *Inga pulls up HH by the arm* We'll go and see what time dinner is, back soon! Out, Heinzharold! *HH has the tensest jaw Morgan's ever seen on him as he struggles not to laugh* Nov 03 19:47:53 * Morgan nods ever so slightly as they leave Nov 03 19:51:08 * Molly has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Nov 03 19:51:12 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 03 19:51:59 *they go. varick continues eating quietly now. Molly bites her lip, looking at Morgan* Nov 03 19:52:59 [I know Nov 03 19:57:16 [has it been awful?] Nov 03 19:57:58 [it was awkward, but not awful] Nov 03 19:59:46 [well done, my love] Nov 03 20:01:40 * Morgan inclines his head slightly] Nov 03 20:04:02 *HH and Inga don't reappear. Once he's checked the door is locked into the hall from Varick's room and read the story, Varick is fast asleep, his innocent face looking too young to be considering nine months a year in a dorm room of strangers or learning about sex* Nov 03 20:06:35 I don't want to send him Nov 03 20:07:07 * MollyK looks up from her sewing Nov 03 20:07:45 To the Academy in Paderborn Nov 03 20:07:48 ? Nov 03 20:08:18 I told him I can't send him there anyway... but I mean to any academy Nov 03 20:08:34 * MollyK nods Nov 03 20:08:47 Alright, my love Nov 03 20:10:35 Have you thought any about adopting a cub? Nov 03 20:11:43 My mind has been elsewhere, but I am not opposed to the idea Nov 03 20:12:05 * Morgan nods, sitting down Nov 03 20:12:44 You wish to? Nov 03 20:13:18 I think it might be good for Varick, having someone like him around, someone who will keep pace with his strength Nov 03 20:13:59 * MollyK nods Nov 03 20:14:21 The question is, when? Nov 03 20:18:31 Not until we are settling I think Nov 03 20:19:33 But we do not know whether that's this summer, or winter, or the next summer... Nov 03 20:19:52 No, I know Nov 03 20:20:14 * MollyK sighs Nov 03 20:20:53 Should we leave him with Heinzharold and Inga at Hafenlohr? Nov 03 20:21:11 I can't say I want to... Nov 03 20:21:39 Me either, but... Nov 03 20:22:13 Would it be kinder... Nov 03 20:22:25 * MollyK nods Nov 03 20:22:57 Is it fair when he has already had so abnormal a childhood Nov 03 20:23:23 * Morgan nods, sighing Nov 03 20:25:25 Are you thinking this time? Nov 03 20:25:50 No, next time Nov 03 20:26:24 * Morgan nods Nov 03 20:26:57 We will have to see if they are willing. Inga stopped the herbs earlier than I, and had been taking them less time, so from March I would think she might fall pregnant, and that would mean she was heavily pregnant whilst we were away Nov 03 20:27:18 * Morgan nods Nov 03 20:27:22 My parents, perhaps? Nov 03 20:34:56 * MollyK nods Nov 03 20:35:06 Yes, that might work Nov 03 20:35:23 * Morgan nods Nov 03 20:35:31 Of course he may well disagree Nov 03 20:35:59 He might... maybe it won't be something we have to worry on Nov 03 20:36:11 * Morgan nods Nov 03 20:37:37 * MollyK smiles wistfully as she returns to her stitching Nov 03 20:37:52 What? Nov 03 20:38:02 Babies, my love Nov 03 20:38:57 oh... yes... Nov 03 20:39:36 Did you think I was distracted by illicit thoughts of you? Nov 03 20:39:46 * Morgan shrugs Nov 03 20:39:51 No idea my love Nov 03 20:40:02 * MollyK smiles Nov 03 20:40:24 Would you tell me about your conversation with Varick now? Nov 03 20:41:02 We talked about what I did at the academy, if I liked it... about the options we had for him... how babies are made... Nov 03 20:41:26 What did you say about the last? Nov 03 20:42:50 That he has a seed that one day will be planted in his wife and it'll grow into a baby... not quite so eloquently mind Nov 03 20:43:03 * MollyK smiles Nov 03 20:43:15 Did you stammer? I'd have stammered Nov 03 20:43:59 Not even when he was concerned that his... dingaling... is not big enough for a full grown baby to be put anywhere Nov 03 20:44:20 * MollyK giggles, covering her eyes Nov 03 20:44:24 Oh my gosh! Nov 03 20:45:40 * Morgan nods Nov 03 20:45:41 Indeed Nov 03 20:46:07 * MollyK picks the sewing back up Nov 03 20:46:23 We do not have to call it that, I hope?! Nov 03 20:46:39 Thats his preferred word for it... its what his daddy called it Nov 03 20:46:54 I assume when talking to Varick, rather than all the time Nov 03 20:47:16 I dread to think, my love! Nov 03 20:47:48 * Morgan nods Nov 03 20:48:13 I suppose the tip does look a little like a bell Nov 03 20:49:25 Commonly referred to as a bell end in certain circles Nov 03 20:50:20 Oh! Is it? Nov 03 20:50:47 * Morgan nods Nov 03 20:51:26 * MollyK smiles "so I know manhood, bell end, cock, prick... I am doing well" Nov 03 20:51:41 * Morgan nods Nov 03 20:51:43 Yes you are Nov 03 20:53:26 Though some of them are very rude? Nov 03 20:54:06 Well, I wouldn't use any of them in conversation... Nov 03 20:54:45 Except with me? Nov 03 20:55:03 Obviously.... That being said I don't know I've ever used them with you at all Nov 03 20:56:25 You have explained their meaning, but that might be all... *she smiles* I might have said the C word when you had me at your mercy for three hours! Nov 03 20:57:33 * Morgan nods Nov 03 20:57:36 Yes, you did Nov 03 20:59:00 I'm sorry Nov 03 21:04:19 What for? Nov 03 21:05:40 It sounds as if you find it too coarse Nov 03 21:06:02 Only in normal conversation... in _that_ instance, it was very welcome Nov 03 21:06:12 * MollyK blushes, smiling Nov 03 21:06:15 It was? Nov 03 21:06:44 * Morgan nods Nov 03 21:07:11 You do not mind, if it is whilst we are passionately intimate? Nov 03 21:09:09 No love Nov 03 21:09:17 * MollyK nods Nov 03 21:09:49 How did you explain why a baby is not in his... you know. Nov 03 21:10:28 I said its a seed thats very very small that needs to be planted in his wife to grow into a baby Nov 03 21:11:13 * MollyK smiles Nov 03 21:11:24 That's sweet. How did he react? Nov 03 21:13:23 Accepted it rather well Nov 03 21:13:33 * MollyK nods Nov 03 21:13:54 That is good. Why did he tell me it doesn't go in my mouth? Nov 03 21:14:23 Because he thought the woman had to swallow the seed Nov 03 21:15:27 * MollyK smirks a little "She doesn't -have- to, some men like her to spit it out, but in neither way does one make a baby!" Nov 03 21:29:06 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 03 21:30:22 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 03 21:30:47 [21:02:30] • ​MollyK​ smirks a little "She doesn't -have- to, some men like her to spit it out, but in neither way does one make a baby!" Nov 03 21:31:30 How would you know... the Coral? Nov 03 21:31:36 No... Nov 03 21:32:11 No? Nov 03 21:32:15 Stef? Nov 03 21:32:19 * MollyK smiles Nov 03 21:32:22 Yes Nov 03 21:32:47 She's a dark horse Nov 03 21:32:53 * MollyK nods Nov 03 21:33:46 She is. Apparently those men like to their release Nov 03 21:34:04 * MollyK continues stitching Nov 03 21:35:06 oh... I can't say that ever... why? Nov 03 21:36:17 I don't know, my love. I know I like to see it when I use my hand upon you, but i'm not sure in that instance Nov 03 21:36:59 * Morgan thinks about it for a moment before shrugging Nov 03 21:37:36 I wonder if it is like a mark of possession somehow? Nov 03 21:39:25 * Morgan shrugs Nov 03 21:39:28 Might ask HeinzHarold Nov 03 21:39:34 * MollyK nods Nov 03 21:40:17 I am told he... uhhh... covers her peaches with cream fairly often *she giggles* Nov 03 21:40:41 Huh... Nov 03 21:41:41 You are surprised he does that, or that she allows it, or that she has told me about it? Nov 03 21:42:00 Both of the former... not the latter Nov 03 21:43:59 You'd need to ask him about the first! Nov 03 21:44:57 mmm Nov 03 21:46:27 She allows it because she likes it Nov 03 21:46:52 Why? Nov 03 21:47:38 I haven't asked that in depth, but I quietly will if you are very curious Nov 03 21:49:22 I am rather Nov 03 21:50:15 * MollyK watches him a moment "This is also something you'd never thought of in the past?" Nov 03 21:51:00 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 03 21:51:03 no Nov 03 21:51:48 * MollyK nods Nov 03 21:52:01 I will try to find out for you, my love Nov 03 21:52:32 * Morgan nods Nov 03 21:52:35 Thank you blossom Nov 03 21:53:06 I do know that the bubbyrub was very well-received *she giggles* Nov 03 21:53:20 I got that impression Nov 03 21:54:59 I suppose that is really not far from what we were just discussing anyway Nov 03 21:56:08 No... no I suppose not Nov 03 21:56:18 * MollyK smiles Nov 03 21:57:10 I should imagine they'll be here with dinner soon. How are you feeling now? Did you wish me to sit in your lap a few minutes? Nov 03 21:58:16 To what end? Nov 03 21:59:34 * MollyK watches him with puzzlement Nov 03 21:59:53 To help you feel more settled about the nightmare Nov 03 21:59:57 * Morgan nods Nov 03 22:00:01 Then yes, please Nov 03 22:00:21 * MollyK puts down her sewing, settling in his lap Nov 03 22:00:34 What did you think I was suggesting? Nov 03 22:00:41 Something lewd Nov 03 22:00:58 We would almost certainly be caught Nov 03 22:02:26 Oh absolutely Nov 03 22:03:04 * MollyK nods Nov 03 22:03:15 Better we just cuddle instead Nov 03 22:03:27 Aye, it is Nov 03 22:05:13 Are you still very troubled, my love? *she nestles her head beneath his chin* Nov 03 22:06:22 It still haunts me quite a bit Nov 03 22:06:29 * MollyK nods Nov 03 22:06:46 I do not think it was anything other than just an awful nightmare Nov 03 22:07:35 I don't know Nov 03 22:09:31 I'm here and safe, my love, and all manner of trouble for anything or anyone that would harm me Nov 03 22:09:53 * Morgan nods, resting his chin on her head Nov 03 22:10:53 * MollyK reaches a hand up, gently stroking his cheek Nov 03 22:12:00 It's alright, liebling. Nov 03 22:12:18 * Morgan has a wet cheek Nov 03 22:14:19 * MollyK moves a little, urging him to put his face to her neck. She murmurs "come here, my darling one" Nov 03 22:15:00 * Morgan puts his face to her neck, staying quiet Nov 03 22:15:39 * MollyK holds him tight, leaning her cheek to him Nov 03 22:18:10 * Morgan just stars where he is, breathing slowly Nov 03 22:18:40 It's alright, my love, I am here. It's okay to be upset and heartsore over it Nov 03 22:19:39 * Morgan nods slightly Nov 03 22:20:33 Talk to me, my love Nov 03 22:21:10 I was so _scared_ Nov 03 22:22:49 * MollyK nods, rubbing his back Nov 03 22:23:13 You aren't often scared like that... Nov 03 22:23:51 No. Nov 03 22:23:59 Only a couple of times since I was a boy Nov 03 22:24:22 * MollyK nods "it's understandable that it has lingered today" Nov 03 22:24:37 * Morgan nods Nov 03 22:25:53 * MollyK kisses his temple Nov 03 22:26:28 It will ease, I know it Nov 03 22:26:44 * Morgan nods, sighing heavily Nov 03 22:28:15 I'll be alright Nov 03 22:28:58 I know you will. I'm careful though, and I will never hesitate to use magic if I think I'm in the slightest danger Nov 03 22:30:09 * Morgan nods, pulling away a little Nov 03 22:30:20 I should've stayed awake Nov 03 22:30:33 I'm so sorry, that was my fault Nov 03 22:30:55 No... the first dream was so easy, I figured.... It should be fine, the second is normally easier than the first... Nov 03 22:31:03 * MollyK nods Nov 03 22:31:23 Are you ready to tell me about the first? Nov 03 22:32:14 Very simple... I'd been rescuing Heinzharold and got shot in the arm, fell and broke the other... was taken to Insell where a noble house was being used as a hospital... you were my nurse Nov 03 22:32:39 * MollyK smiles, pulling back enough to kiss his forehead Nov 03 22:32:46 That sounds very sweet Nov 03 22:34:41 I was completely smitten with you and got painfully aroused every time you were around... after ten days or so you noticed and... 'helped' the situation... Nov 03 22:35:03 * MollyK looks surprised Nov 03 22:35:18 Well now, that sounds very kind of me! *she giggles* Nov 03 22:35:38 * Morgan nods Nov 03 22:35:49 Certainly _felt_ very kind Nov 03 22:36:12 Mmhmmm... was I smitten too? Nov 03 22:36:29 You admitted to fancying me Nov 03 22:36:49 I suppose I must have done to have done something to help? Nov 03 22:37:58 mmhmmm Nov 03 22:38:18 * MollyK watches him with a smile Nov 03 22:38:31 What did I do? Did it help? Nov 03 22:38:58 Used your hand.... Yes it did Nov 03 22:39:31 Mmm... intriguing... Nov 03 22:39:59 Oh? Nov 03 22:40:20 Great arousal, arms unusable... yes, I rather like that Nov 03 22:41:44 I wouldn't thought that too much control for your liking Nov 03 22:42:49 I wasn't thinking of -you- being in a predicament like that. Although, the idea of serving your needs that way... -that- I definitely like Nov 03 22:43:00 Interesting... Nov 03 22:43:07 What is? Nov 03 22:43:15 Both of those things... Nov 03 22:43:35 Mmmmhmmm. You could show me some of your dream? Nov 03 22:44:18 * Morgan frowns briefly before sending her an image of her using her hand upon him Nov 03 22:44:36 * MollyK exhales slowly Nov 03 22:44:39 Thank you Nov 03 22:45:17 * Morgan nods Nov 03 22:45:41 It was enjoyable for you to dream that? Nov 03 22:46:45 Yes and no... frustrating and I was convinced I was going to be heartbroken... but yes, it was Nov 03 22:47:40 How frustrating was it? Would your body not resolve it during the night is the arousal was so great and sustained? Nov 03 22:48:42 It got so bad I tried to thrust against the sheets for relief, which didn't work at all Nov 03 22:49:58 * MollyK gets up suddenly, breathing out slowly Nov 03 22:50:13 Are you... alright? Nov 03 22:50:42 Okay! No more before dinner! *she smiles* I cannot be more aroused and sit to eat for an hour with them! Nov 03 22:51:06 oh... oh I see... sorry Nov 03 22:51:29 * MollyK exhales slowly, eyes closed Nov 03 22:52:00 No need to apologise, my lovely, it's very arousing to hear, it's exciting and thrilling, not bad Nov 03 22:52:21 * Morgan nods Nov 03 22:52:51 * MollyK blows out a breath, opening her eyes. She smiles fondly Nov 03 22:52:59 I'm alright now Nov 03 22:53:33 * Morgan nods Nov 03 22:53:35 Alright Nov 03 22:53:46 Would you like me to sit on your lap again? Nov 03 22:54:00 Do you think that wise right now? Nov 03 22:54:40 I think I can manage it now. But if I have alarmed or upset you, I do not have to Nov 03 22:55:22 I was concerned, thats all Nov 03 22:55:42 * MollyK comes back to him Nov 03 22:56:11 No need to be concerned, that is just very arousing for me, that's all Nov 03 22:56:48 * Morgan nods, sending her an image of her on her knees, wrists bound behind her back with his hand in her hair Nov 03 22:56:57 That probably isn't helping then... Nov 03 22:57:29 * MollyK visibly jolts a little, moaning involuntarily Nov 03 22:58:27 Mmmmmmhmmmm not helping but so good... but this is a risky game, mon petit chou, because I will get you back Nov 03 22:59:13 No doubt Nov 03 23:01:24 * MollyK nods, watching him as she exhales again, her hands coming to her sides and fiddling with the fabric a little Nov 03 23:03:14 * Morgan sends her the same image from another angle, showing him buried in her throat Nov 03 23:06:40 Oh fuck... *she pinches at the fabric, then sends him an image. She's in that pink satin cropped vest and loose silk shorts set, on her side on the bed, knees bent. Pressed hard to her intimately is a pillow, and she thrusts and grinds her hips to it with an urgent desperation for stimulation. Her eyes are closed, a muting hand over her mouth not Nov 03 23:06:40 fully containing the pleading whimpers of need* Nov 03 23:07:52 * Morgan grins Nov 03 23:08:00 Is there any coffee? Nov 03 23:09:55 * MollyK looks at him, frowning a little Nov 03 23:10:01 Uhhhhhh yes. Nov 03 23:10:09 What? Nov 03 23:11:54 I thought that might arose you, but I think it does not? Nov 03 23:13:37 You think incorrectly Nov 03 23:14:18 * MollyK nods, biting her lip. She pours him some coffee, bringing it to him Nov 03 23:15:24 I suppose I could have shown you what I was dreaming this morning, but it's rather too shocking I think! Nov 03 23:16:07 Try me... Nov 03 23:16:44 * MollyK watches him, setting the cup aside on the little table next to him before taking his hands Nov 03 23:17:04 Alright, mon petit chou, but you must close your eyes... Nov 03 23:17:09 Why? Nov 03 23:17:28 Because I wish you to. You can concentrate better then Nov 03 23:18:23 * Morgan nods, closing his eyes Nov 03 23:20:59 * MollyK sends him the image. He's sat on a couch fully dressed, she is nude on top of him. His mouth is around her nipple sucking hard whilst her head is thrown back. One hand is between them, his thumb rubbing her clit, the other reaching around her, two fingers a little way into her ass Nov 03 23:21:33 mmhmmm... I like that Nov 03 23:21:52 Yes, me too... Nov 03 23:22:00 * Morgan nods, opening his eyes Nov 03 23:22:21 * MollyK still has her eyes closed, smiling and blushing Nov 03 23:23:24 * Morgan pulls her forward, kissing her hard before letting her go again Nov 03 23:23:41 * MollyK staggers, surprised by it Nov 03 23:23:43 Ooh! Nov 03 23:24:44 * MollyK watches him fondly a moment Nov 03 23:25:40 If you can recall the thing from your dream with the sheet, I'm like you to send that to me later, when we are alone Nov 03 23:25:54 Oh? Nov 03 23:26:03 * MollyK nods smiling Nov 03 23:26:22 It's very intriguing and arousing Nov 03 23:26:36 Its just... a rubby rub... Nov 03 23:26:39 * Morgan grins Nov 03 23:26:59 * MollyK giggles, then kisses him spontaneously quickly Nov 03 23:27:11 You are a naughty tease, my love Nov 03 23:27:30 I wouldn't have said that Nov 03 23:27:39 No? What would you say? Nov 03 23:27:49 * Morgan shrugs Nov 03 23:28:04 I like to keep you aroused and happy... Nov 03 23:28:11 * MollyK smiles Nov 03 23:28:36 It's effortless on your part, I am generally aroused and happy just being in your presence Nov 03 23:30:40 * Morgan smiles, picking his coffee and sipping it Nov 03 23:31:27 DeeDee is going to procure some tobacco and a pipe for me... just in case it gets desperate Nov 03 23:31:52 That's probably wise, my love *there's a knock on the door, HH's usual* Nov 03 23:32:06 Come in man Nov 03 23:32:51 *They come in with two trays. It smells good* HH: Want us to join y' or get out of yer hair? Nov 03 23:33:20 Come on in... Nov 03 23:34:01 *they put the trays down. They both look happy to be settled for the evening* Nov 03 23:35:04 Inga, could I just have a word outside? *Inga nods, and they go out into the hall. HH picks up some hot bread, looking from the door to Morgan* Everything okay, man? Nov 03 23:35:25 * MollyK is now known as HH Nov 03 23:36:25 * Morgan nods Nov 03 23:36:32 Aye, it is Nov 03 23:38:06 * HH nods, stuffing it in his mouth before uncovering the rest of the food Nov 03 23:38:34 That kid, man... thought I was gonna pass out tryinna not laugh Nov 03 23:38:51 The joys of an utterly innocent mind Nov 03 23:40:01 * HH nods Nov 03 23:40:27 Good job he's 'ere, so as we got one innocent mind between us! Nov 03 23:40:49 Im innocent... ish... Nov 03 23:41:10 * HH looks at him Nov 03 23:41:30 I don' buy it man, not after you told me y' tied her to the bed Nov 03 23:42:04 Three hours, couldn't have her escaping could I? Purely practical, thats what it was Nov 03 23:42:17 * HH puts food in front of Morgan and sits down Nov 03 23:42:58 Three hours doesn' sound that innocent. Gotta know what yer doing if you're doing it for three hours, or you bore 'er to death Nov 03 23:43:11 * Morgan shrugs Nov 03 23:43:15 You'd have to ask her about that Nov 03 23:43:34 Go get 'er, shall I? Nov 03 23:44:31 If y'like Nov 03 23:44:55 * HH sips his blokners, glancing towards the door "what's all that about? Food'll go cold" Nov 03 23:45:54 * Morgan shrugs Nov 03 23:45:59 I've got no idea Nov 03 23:46:09 * HH nods Nov 03 23:46:27 Al'ays gossiping Nov 03 23:46:43 * Morgan nods Nov 03 23:46:59 Or she's asking Inga to watch Varick so she can get fucked senseless Nov 03 23:47:06 * Morgan shoves some bread in his mouth Nov 03 23:48:35 Yeah, mebbie... *he's half way through a mouthful when he realises what his best friend might have said, and starts spluttering* Nov 03 23:49:12 Mmmphh? Nov 03 23:49:36 * HH coughs, then looks at him Nov 03 23:49:47 Come again? Nov 03 23:51:35 * Morgan swallows Nov 03 23:51:39 I said alright? Nov 03 23:53:59 Yeah... thought you said... doesn't matter Nov 03 23:54:06 * HH sips his ale again Nov 03 23:55:12 * Morgan watches him for a moment before shrugging Nov 03 23:55:46 Nope, can't do it. What did ya say about watchin' Varick? Nov 03 23:56:09 She might be asking Inga to watch him Nov 03 23:56:23 Ain't he asleep already? Nov 03 23:57:01 Well, yeah, but to listen for him Nov 03 23:57:22 That reminds me... he was asking me if me and his mama kiss as much as you and Inga do Nov 03 23:57:32 * HH laughs Nov 03 23:57:36 I doubt it! Nov 03 23:58:41 Certainly seen you do it more than he has us... Nov 03 23:59:04 We've been careful Nov 03 23:59:16 He got up for a drink last night... Nov 03 23:59:43 Shit, sorry man. Was only kissin', nothing more
