**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Nov 11 00:01:32 2022 Nov 11 00:01:32 It matches your hair, my love, like a Vesten warrior with his plunder... Nov 11 00:01:48 * Morgan nods, squeezing her Nov 11 00:02:51 Perhaps you ransacked and pillaged the lands of my father, and stole me away to become your bride, on account of my ample... charms. Nov 11 00:04:27 Maybe, aye... you hear Inga has completely forgotten our conversation? Nov 11 00:04:42 I realised quite quickly, yes Nov 11 00:06:16 All that work, gone... Nov 11 00:06:30 *she nods* She was telling me she dreamt of that, and Heinzharold's... what does she call it... morning advantage?... was pressed into service. Nov 11 00:08:52 * Morgan nods Nov 11 00:08:56 Aye he said Nov 11 00:09:19 It's very sweet though, that Heinzharold would be so easily stirred just thinking of Inga that he couldn't do so and ride with me Nov 11 00:09:51 * Morgan nods Nov 11 00:09:54 Aye, I suppose so Nov 11 00:10:05 Does it happen to you so easily? Nov 11 00:10:38 Its not... uncommon. Particularly in the mornings Nov 11 00:12:04 I still understand so little about that part of you. Why the mornings? Nov 11 00:12:19 I've got no idea Nov 11 00:12:33 * Molly nods Nov 11 00:12:45 And it just goes away when you tell it to? Nov 11 00:12:59 No, not at all Nov 11 00:13:11 Oh! How do you make it stop? Nov 11 00:13:44 Ummm... try to think of other things Nov 11 00:14:04 * Molly looks at him, intrigued Nov 11 00:14:12 What things do you think of? Nov 11 00:14:58 Finances, paperwork, what we need to do that day Nov 11 00:15:18 That sounds terribly dull Nov 11 00:15:26 * Morgan shrugs Nov 11 00:15:38 Does it always work? Nov 11 00:15:44 * Morgan smiles Nov 11 00:15:46 Nope Nov 11 00:15:53 * Molly smiles too Nov 11 00:16:03 Does it happen often? Nov 11 00:16:10 That it won't go away? Nov 11 00:16:20 That is happens at all, but that too Nov 11 00:16:31 * Morgan shrugs Nov 11 00:16:55 If there's anything sexual in my dreams, its almost certain to happen... if I have nightmares, no... Nov 11 00:17:25 Except the night before last? Nov 11 00:17:37 * Morgan nods Nov 11 00:17:39 aye Nov 11 00:17:54 It was strange to wake so close? Nov 11 00:18:01 * Morgan nods Nov 11 00:18:15 Its unusual... even when I wake up close, its not _that_ close Nov 11 00:18:21 * Molly nods Nov 11 00:18:30 It didn't take long at all Nov 11 00:18:46 No... it was definitely a hair trigger Nov 11 00:19:02 I don't understand what that is? Nov 11 00:19:48 It comes from crossbows... the tension on it is so great that, in theory, a hair falling on the trigger could set it off Nov 11 00:20:19 Its where we get the expression about being wound tight too Nov 11 00:20:39 Oh! So if I had just run a finger up your length it might have worked? Nov 11 00:20:50 * Morgan shrugs Nov 11 00:20:57 Its never happened before but maybe Nov 11 00:21:24 Intriguing. You do know you can always wake me for any help with that? Nov 11 00:21:32 * Morgan nods Nov 11 00:21:34 I know Nov 11 00:21:47 Why were yo so reluctant to? Nov 11 00:22:39 * Morgan shrugs Nov 11 00:22:52 I don't wish to be a bother... sometimes I just want to get out and train... Nov 11 00:23:43 It is no bother. Would it bother you if I woke so close and needed only a few moments against your tongue to be sated? Nov 11 00:24:10 No... but sometimes it is just my body reacting, not an active desire... Nov 11 00:24:31 But you are hard? I do not understand Nov 11 00:25:03 I have no control over it... it is just something my body does, occasionally for no reason at all Nov 11 00:25:18 That is a thing?! Nov 11 00:25:23 * Morgan nods Nov 11 00:25:27 Absolutely Nov 11 00:25:50 Ohhh! I have always thought if you were hard it was because you desired release Nov 11 00:26:31 Not always, no Nov 11 00:26:53 Huh... how strange and impractical! How is a wife to know?! Nov 11 00:28:14 * Morgan shrugs Nov 11 00:28:36 For any normal man they'd always be willing, even if their mind is not fully engaged with it... Nov 11 00:28:52 * Molly frowns slightly Nov 11 00:29:00 But not you...? Nov 11 00:29:42 The burden of the nightmares, I'm afraid... or having dreamed of Dietlinde, as we've discussed Nov 11 00:30:00 * Molly nods slowly Nov 11 00:30:53 I was under the impression that we have resolved that I am always available, even in the latter circumstance, should you want me Nov 11 00:32:27 * Morgan nods Nov 11 00:32:33 Yes, I know... Nov 11 00:32:40 ...but...? Nov 11 00:32:43 I meant until recently... Nov 11 00:32:56 It happens often? Nov 11 00:33:21 Dreaming of her like that? Couple of times, thats all Nov 11 00:33:34 * Molly nods Nov 11 00:33:41 That must be painful Nov 11 00:34:11 Physically? Nov 11 00:34:36 No, emotionally, but you could answer for both? Nov 11 00:35:33 Aye, it was painful... and it felt like I'd been unfaithful. Nov 11 00:36:12 It isn't something you can control, and it wasn't something you wished for Nov 11 00:36:33 * Morgan nods Nov 11 00:36:34 I know Nov 11 00:37:12 I hope now we have discussed it you will not need to stay being in pain Nov 11 00:37:42 * Morgan nods Nov 11 00:37:44 Aye Nov 11 00:38:10 Thank you for explaining this to me Nov 11 00:38:43 * Morgan nods Nov 11 00:38:46 Thats alright blossom Nov 11 00:39:14 Oh... you mentioned you had been a bit hard when I took off my shift after the pool...? Nov 11 00:40:37 *she looks over her shoulder* That was just how it occassionally happens when there's no actual interest in experiencing pleasure? Nov 11 00:40:48 * Morgan clears his throat Nov 11 00:40:51 No. Nov 11 00:41:03 Oh, now I am so confused! Nov 11 00:41:14 It is quite simple... I was aroused Nov 11 00:41:35 Oh... that had never happened around me before? Nov 11 00:42:37 It was quite the turning point Nov 11 00:42:51 * Molly nods Nov 11 00:43:10 Did that happ-... no, I'm not sure I want to know! Nov 11 00:43:29 What? Nov 11 00:44:02 When you were kissing Evie. But I'm not sure it won't make me feel a little jealous! Nov 11 00:44:11 Needn't worry Nov 11 00:44:40 Oh... you were not kissing her quite how you were in my imagination then! Nov 11 00:44:59 No? Nov 11 00:45:34 I had assumed it was with significantly more passion and intensity than when you first kissed me Nov 11 00:46:04 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 11 00:46:08 No... Nov 11 00:46:29 ...but...? Nov 11 00:46:59 No but. Nov 11 00:47:08 * Molly nods Nov 11 00:47:44 Were you imagining I was kissing Curtis that way, or had kissed John that way? Nov 11 00:47:54 * Morgan nods Nov 11 00:47:55 Aye Nov 11 00:48:03 I tried not to think about it Nov 11 00:50:04 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 11 00:51:27 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 11 14:17:50 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Nov 11 14:19:06 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 11 14:20:56 You were rather more busy thinking of kissing me that way yourself, hmm? *she sounds relaxed, watching the road ahead* Nov 11 14:21:14 Might have been Nov 11 14:21:38 * MollyK nods Nov 11 14:21:54 Would you tell me of your conversation with Claudia now? Nov 11 14:22:33 She's struggling with who she is... she did something and is disgusted with herself for it Nov 11 14:23:13 What was it? Nov 11 14:24:12 The woman she had been looking for had gone off with DeeDee... once he returned, she told him to get lost back to the tavern and had the girl... Heike, I think, tell her everything that happened Nov 11 14:24:43 It's a little nosey, but not worth breaking your rib for! Nov 11 14:25:42 She had Heike show her... kept imagining it was him... Nov 11 14:26:06 Ohh... Nov 11 14:26:42 DeeDee finished in Heike's mouth... Claudia kissed her... she wanted to taste him. Which is really peculiar since she's always hated that, even before she was attacked Nov 11 14:27:11 I... ummm... alright. Was she very drunk? Nov 11 14:27:37 A little. But not enough for that to have been the reason. She... is terrified she'd losing herself. Nov 11 14:27:49 * MollyK nods Nov 11 14:28:09 There's something very powerful there, isn't there? Nov 11 14:28:40 * Morgan nods Nov 11 14:28:57 He isn't like anyone she's met before, except maybe Sorgi. Nov 11 14:29:25 * MollyK nods Nov 11 14:29:30 Yes... Nov 11 14:30:49 As for the broken rib... we started with swords and, as good as we are, a slip would've been catastrophic... so... I let her beat on me a little Nov 11 14:31:28 I understand, despite not liking it Nov 11 14:31:44 I hadn't counted on her accuracy, thats all Nov 11 14:32:42 * MollyK nods, thoughtful Nov 11 14:34:13 In one of my dreams, the ones where you had married Jaeger... she had married him and had children... Nov 11 14:34:41 Hmm? Oh, really? That's odd Nov 11 14:34:49 * Morgan nods Nov 11 14:34:52 What you thinking? Nov 11 14:35:24 Partly I was just being rather shocked, I'm afriad Nov 11 14:35:44 * Morgan nods Nov 11 14:35:53 Try not to let on, eh... she's fragile right now Nov 11 14:36:01 * MollyK nods Nov 11 14:36:04 Of course Nov 11 14:37:27 * Morgan nods, looking round Nov 11 14:37:50 Sorry... Nov 11 14:38:56 * MollyK takes a deep breath, refocusing her attention "was she happy?" Nov 11 14:39:46 Dunno, she'd moved away... was told she was Nov 11 14:40:18 Did you tell her of the dream? Nov 11 14:41:19 No. She doesn't need that. Nov 11 14:41:25 * MollyK nods Nov 11 14:41:38 Does that make you sad? Nov 11 14:42:20 What, exactly? Nov 11 14:42:41 That there was a path where she was happy, settled Nov 11 14:43:26 A little I suppose... what she could have had Nov 11 14:43:54 * MollyK nods Nov 11 14:44:15 Heinzharold and Inga were happy? Nov 11 14:44:25 * Morgan nods Nov 11 14:44:34 They'd ended up together, aye... called their oldest Morgan Nov 11 14:45:24 * MollyK rests back to him Nov 11 14:45:30 That's lovely Nov 11 14:46:43 You know Stef and the colonel have their hearts set on that for a boy? Nov 11 14:47:08 Yes, I do. She asked me if that would step on our toes Nov 11 14:48:00 HeinzHarold and Inga were keen on Madchen... Nov 11 14:48:17 Oh dear... Nov 11 14:49:45 I explained the situation to him... Nov 11 14:50:24 About Madchen, and who she is to be? Nov 11 14:50:30 * Morgan nods Nov 11 14:52:06 What did he say? Nov 11 14:53:10 That he'll take it off the table... Nov 11 14:53:50 That's good of him... It is her name. Nov 11 14:54:20 Whose? Nov 11 14:54:47 Madchen's... our daughter... it is her name. Nov 11 14:54:52 * Morgan nods Nov 11 14:54:55 Yes, it is Nov 11 14:56:01 * MollyK twists to kiss his cheek before looking ahead again Nov 11 14:56:11 What will happen with Claudia now? Nov 11 14:58:15 She tries to adjust to what she feels... she's going to talk to Sorgi... he's better than I am at helping her Nov 11 14:58:42 That saddens you? Nov 11 15:01:15 Of course it does Nov 11 15:01:49 She will not tell Sorgi about the... kissing, though? Nov 11 15:02:21 Not right away, no... I've advised that she tells him what she _wanted_ Nov 11 15:02:33 To taste his... Nov 11 15:02:48 I meant in general Nov 11 15:02:53 Oh Nov 11 15:04:11 She may tell him that Nov 11 15:04:28 Itd help explain why she's so... -anguished- Nov 11 15:04:30 * MollyK nods a little Nov 11 15:04:54 It's certainly not something I would ever have imagined Nov 11 15:05:02 No... nor her Nov 11 15:05:09 * MollyK nods Nov 11 15:05:26 I hope Sorgi can help her. She does not wish some magic? Nov 11 15:05:52 She didn't earlier, no... she was determined that she should suffer the consequences of her actions... Nov 11 15:06:29 No one has been hurt though? She was not unkind to the girl, and I assume DeeDee doesn't know? Nov 11 15:06:52 Not, no-one was hurt... he has no idea Nov 11 15:07:27 * MollyK nods Nov 11 15:07:55 I have no idea how anyone would respond to that! Nov 11 15:08:51 I've suggested she tell him that she doesn't hate him, she thinks he's alright and likes him, like me and HeinzHarold Nov 11 15:08:59 * MollyK nods Nov 11 15:09:23 That makes sense... but how would she explain the way she usually treats him? Nov 11 15:10:33 He knows she's had a difficult past because of her gender... perhaps telling him its based in that Nov 11 15:10:57 * MollyK nods Nov 11 15:11:09 You are so wise, my love Nov 11 15:11:24 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 11 15:11:28 I don't think so Nov 11 15:11:41 I do. And you trust my judgement, do you not? Nov 11 15:12:15 * Morgan nods Nov 11 15:13:29 There we are then... Nov 11 15:14:12 * Morgan shrugs slightly, looking round Nov 11 15:14:31 *the clouds are gathering a little now. She guides the horse quietly, keeping an eye out for danger. A few minutes pass before she says* My love? Nov 11 15:14:40 Yes? Nov 11 15:15:08 Do you think different men taste differently, or do they all taste the same? Nov 11 15:15:34 I have absolutely no idea Nov 11 15:15:52 * MollyK nods Nov 11 15:16:01 Inga will know Nov 11 15:16:44 Why? No, nevermind. Nov 11 15:16:53 * MollyK giggles Nov 11 15:17:13 Why am I asking, or why would she know? Nov 11 15:17:44 The latter... I figure the former is just your innate curiosity about our biology Nov 11 15:18:46 I'd never considered it... I suppose I thought it would all be just the same, and I could not understand how many women could not like it, if it tastes just as you do Nov 11 15:19:04 * Morgan shrugs Nov 11 15:19:10 Best ask Inga then Nov 11 15:19:32 I will. And she knows because of Heinrich Nov 11 15:19:55 I figured Nov 11 15:20:29 * MollyK nods Nov 11 15:21:02 Don't worry, Heinzharold already knows Nov 11 15:22:54 * Morgan nods Nov 11 15:22:58 I didn't imagine her keeping it from him Nov 11 15:24:43 * MollyK shakes her head "they decided that they would save any potential hurt feelings down the line by laying out very frankly what they had done,what they had liked and disliked about it" Nov 11 15:37:03 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 11 15:41:24 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 11 15:41:30 * Morgan nods Nov 11 15:41:32 Sensible Nov 11 15:41:47 * MollyK nods Nov 11 15:42:13 Would you like to know, when I have the answer? Nov 11 15:43:47 * Morgan shrugs Nov 11 15:43:49 Sure, why not Nov 11 15:44:00 * MollyK nods Nov 11 15:44:13 I don't think we have long before the rain, my love Nov 11 15:44:24 No, I'm inclined to agree Nov 11 15:44:55 We've been very well-behaved, haven't we? Nov 11 15:45:12 * Morgan nods Nov 11 15:45:16 I think so, aye Nov 11 15:45:30 Are you surprised? Nov 11 15:48:08 A little... though I have had Claudia worrying me... Nov 11 15:48:18 * MollyK nods Nov 11 15:48:26 And awful nightmares Nov 11 15:49:07 * Morgan nods Nov 11 15:49:27 * MollyK shrugs playfully Nov 11 15:49:35 It's rather too cold anyway Nov 11 15:49:54 I suppose Nov 11 15:50:36 You warned me before that it's difficult for a gentleman to meet and retain his full biological potential in low temperatures... Nov 11 15:51:20 It has an effect, to an extent, certainly Nov 11 15:52:10 Mmhmm. I haven't had opportunity to assess that myself, but I do believe you Nov 11 15:53:18 * Morgan nods Nov 11 15:55:20 At least you're warm here, my love Nov 11 15:55:37 * Morgan nods Nov 11 15:55:56 I'm looking forward to getting to the Rose... although... Nov 11 15:56:02 Yes? Nov 11 15:56:49 I think... perhaps... we'd take the star of the sea to the Empire to find Betuana... Nov 11 15:57:04 * MollyK nods Nov 11 15:57:16 That will be an adventure, my love! Nov 11 15:58:12 * Morgan nods Nov 11 15:59:21 I think, though... we'll be leaving our friends behind Nov 11 15:59:31 * MollyK nods Nov 11 15:59:41 It's not a place for Varick Nov 11 15:59:59 And Claudia would cause much death Nov 11 16:00:06 * MollyK nods Nov 11 16:00:20 You would not take me if it weren't for my magic? Nov 11 16:00:47 * Morgan nods Nov 11 16:00:55 Even so, I am tempted to ask you to stay Nov 11 16:01:19 Ask, or command? Nov 11 16:03:23 * Morgan sighs Nov 11 16:03:29 I do not wish to use the latter Nov 11 16:03:55 Good. Because I have no intention of missing her maiden voyage, not when she is named for me. Nov 11 16:04:15 * Morgan nods Nov 11 16:04:28 I think... you will be needed anyway Nov 11 16:04:35 * MollyK nods Nov 11 16:04:48 You will miss me too much? Nov 11 16:05:13 Of course I would. But you're going to be vital to helping Betuana... Nov 11 16:05:26 Assuming I can. Nov 11 16:07:16 If you can't, you'll need to help Sigfried Nov 11 16:07:23 * MollyK nods Nov 11 16:07:33 Which I will do, of course Nov 11 16:07:48 * Morgan nods Nov 11 16:08:24 We can take whatever crew is needed, but who will captain her? Nov 11 16:09:02 I was thinking maybe... I would Nov 11 16:09:17 * MollyK squeals Nov 11 16:09:25 Oh my gosh! Really?! Nov 11 16:09:33 You think it a terrible idea Nov 11 16:09:49 I think it's a -delightful- idea! Nov 11 16:10:02 Really? Why? Nov 11 16:10:26 How exciting that I get to be there for your first time! Nov 11 16:11:08 * Morgan nods Nov 11 16:11:51 Are you excited? Nov 11 16:12:33 Anxious, actually Nov 11 16:13:45 It will be wonderful, I am sure. I think I am excited enough for us both, Nov 11 16:14:38 Oh? Nov 11 16:16:27 I would kiss you senseless if I could reach! I am so happy for you getting to have that dream Nov 11 16:18:32 * Morgan nods, laying his head against her Nov 11 16:19:44 * MollyK makes a sigh of satisfaction that sounds almost like a purr "we cannot take Inga... are we taking Heinzharold?" Nov 11 16:20:21 I... don't... really... want to. I have spent too long keeping people from the women they love Nov 11 16:20:36 Alright, my love Nov 11 16:21:41 Just us then... it looks like one day to sail, one and a half there, one and a half back, and another to sail... Nov 11 16:22:29 * Morgan nods Nov 11 16:22:31 alright Nov 11 16:22:58 Mmmm... a new ship, a new country... Nov 11 16:26:17 * Morgan nods Nov 11 16:26:19 aye Nov 11 16:27:13 Eisen, Vodacce, Avalon... we could... oh. We will likely have Sinan Gottlieb with us. Nov 11 16:33:28 * Morgan nods Nov 11 16:33:31 I hope so Nov 11 16:34:32 * MollyK nods Nov 11 16:35:02 I am sure there will be other translators and guides we could hire, my love Nov 11 16:35:42 * Morgan nods Nov 11 16:35:45 Maybe, aye Nov 11 16:35:59 Are we taking Sigfried with us? Nov 11 16:37:11 No... I don't think we should Nov 11 16:38:30 You want to leave him in Frieburg? Nov 11 16:39:31 Or on the Star... if she is happily married now, he does not need to see her with another man Nov 11 16:41:09 What will we do in that situation? Nov 11 16:41:24 * MollyK sighs Nov 11 16:41:32 I really don't know. Nov 11 16:43:15 * Morgan nods Nov 11 16:45:09 What thinks you. Nov 11 16:53:14 I don't... I don't know. I'm given to understand that women are not married so much as owned there Nov 11 16:54:37 Yes... and branded. Nov 11 16:54:50 * Morgan nods Nov 11 16:55:31 It might be that we cannot get her back at all, and if that is the case we must leave her mind as is Nov 11 16:57:27 So she is unaware of what she has lost Nov 11 16:57:54 * MollyK nods Nov 11 16:59:56 It would be cruel to remember your homeland, children, and husband, and be imprisoned away from all of that Nov 11 17:01:08 * Morgan nods Nov 11 17:01:15 Unless we spirit her away Nov 11 17:01:32 * MollyK nods thoughtfully Nov 11 17:02:02 Now that is an interesting thought. I need to stop in Atemlos too. Nov 11 17:03:39 Oh? Nov 11 17:04:37 We should have provisions for that eventuality. Like a blonde wig Nov 11 17:04:55 * Morgan nods Nov 11 17:05:17 Tomorrow, I am going to accompany DeeDee on a little journey while the rest of you head for Zweibrucke Nov 11 17:05:45 Mmhmm you mentioned Edward's friend Nov 11 17:06:17 * Morgan nods Nov 11 17:06:20 yes Nov 11 17:08:32 Perhaps you could go to a boutique I know of with wigs? Nov 11 17:10:08 alright... I could do that Nov 11 17:10:53 * MollyK gives him directions Nov 11 17:11:14 Blonde? Nov 11 17:11:37 Yes, so that she looks like she doesn't belong there Nov 11 17:12:38 * Morgan nods Nov 11 17:12:41 alright Nov 11 17:14:15 We will leave Xsarlac in Zweibrucke? Nov 11 17:14:36 I...I don't know... Claudia... Nov 11 17:14:49 What about her? Nov 11 17:16:51 I can imagine her taking a dislike to him Nov 11 17:17:33 On what grounds? Nov 11 17:17:52 You've met her, yes? Nov 11 17:18:07 * MollyK giggles Nov 11 17:18:21 True. But he is very gentle and kind Nov 11 17:20:03 But he is a man Nov 11 17:21:19 Then you would take him to Riyadh where we will dock, and leave him with the Star? Nov 11 17:24:00 Could he be trusted to wait? Nov 11 17:24:21 Would you? Nov 11 17:24:41 Zweibrucke then Nov 11 17:24:48 * MollyK laughs softly Nov 11 17:24:54 Yes, my love Nov 11 17:25:13 * Morgan nods Nov 11 17:26:39 Would being left in Zweibrucke stop you finding me? Nov 11 17:27:25 No... but... Claudia _and_ HeinzHarold... might be able to keep him there Nov 11 17:28:00 Should we lie? Nov 11 17:28:43 And say... Nov 11 17:29:35 That we do not know where she might be? No, that would not dissuade him, would it? Nov 11 17:30:50 Then why have we dragged him halfway across Theah? Nov 11 17:32:01 Because we thought we might have a lead, and are also going to Capperlucia so he could visit home... but the more I think on this, the more I think he is going to want to follow us no matter the possible pain... Nov 11 17:37:21 I'm inclined to think you correct... but we cannot let him come with us to find her... Nov 11 17:37:52 If we see her and she is happy, where is his closure? Isn't that vitally important when we lose someone? Nov 11 17:38:25 * Morgan sighs Nov 11 17:38:28 Yes, it is Nov 11 17:39:30 He would need to see it for himself, do you think? Would you believe me lost to you forever if you did not see it yourself? Nov 11 17:40:43 No... I suppose not Nov 11 17:41:15 I am unsure of the correct choice... perhaps we can think of it this evening? Nov 11 17:41:22 * Morgan nods Nov 11 17:41:28 Might be worth asking HeinzHarold, too Nov 11 17:41:44 What he would want in those circumstances? Nov 11 17:41:52 * Morgan nods Nov 11 17:42:10 * MollyK nods Nov 11 17:42:27 Alright, my love. Might you hold me a little tighter? Nov 11 17:42:59 * Morgan nods, doing so Nov 11 17:43:18 * MollyK sighs happily Nov 11 17:43:26 Such sad things to think about Nov 11 17:43:36 * Morgan nods Nov 11 17:46:09 Think something nicer, my love... think of Hafenlohr, the steam off the lake as the warm dawn lights its surface in the middle of summer... the water still crisp and cold, me waiting for you upstairs in a tangle of sheets, warmer than the sun rise, and our peaceful, happy home... Nov 11 17:46:57 * Morgan sighs Nov 11 17:47:18 I'm thinking of sending some money back with DeeDee so Wonks can find a horse for himself Nov 11 17:47:58 Or tell Edward he ought to? Nov 11 17:49:53 Edward isn't quite so flush as I am my love Nov 11 17:51:45 Graben is. Their iron mines are the best in Fischler. Not a patch on those here in Hainzl though Nov 11 17:54:29 besides... Edward and all their friends think they have Wonks convinced that Valour ran off chasing some filleigh... Nov 11 17:55:28 Oh Valour is such a lovely name! Nov 11 17:56:09 * Morgan nods Nov 11 17:56:20 A Vatican soldiers horse that he rescued Nov 11 17:56:32 And it ran away? Nov 11 17:58:14 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 11 17:58:55 Wonks believes it was killed when he lost his leg... I can't adequately express how much riding means to him, and that horse... was his heart. Nov 11 17:59:24 Oh. Poor Wonks! I know the pain of losing a dearly loved mount Nov 11 17:59:53 * Morgan nods Nov 11 18:00:12 Its why he was so emotional when I gave him the saddle Nov 11 18:00:38 That makes more sense now. Yes, do send him the money, my love Nov 11 18:02:21 How much do you think? As much as I think he'd be willing to just ride whatever horse is available, I think it'd be worth it for him to have his own horse, that can get used to the weight difference Nov 11 18:03:01 * MollyK nods Nov 11 18:03:10 A hundred then. Nov 11 18:03:32 * Morgan nods Nov 11 18:04:18 I will need to visit a bank... a draft would be appropriate, and I may as well send the one for Karlsruhe at the same time... Nov 11 18:04:49 * MollyK nods Nov 11 18:05:10 More work for you in Atemlos, my love Nov 11 18:07:13 * Morgan shrugs Nov 11 18:07:15 For the best Nov 11 18:07:40 As much of your work is Nov 11 18:08:43 * Morgan nods Nov 11 18:08:44 I suppose Nov 11 18:10:02 I could tell you again just how good you are, how kind, but I rather think you must be quite bored of hearing it so oft! Nov 11 18:11:22 * Morgan sits up, looking around Nov 11 18:11:43 Have you trained with a sword lately? Nov 11 18:12:35 * MollyK tries to think Nov 11 18:13:02 Ummm... it has been some time. Not since November, I think Nov 11 18:13:36 I think it worth taking it up again Nov 11 18:14:01 * MollyK nods Nov 11 18:14:14 For a while...? Nov 11 18:15:14 It is worth not losing that talent, for times when magic is not enough Nov 11 18:15:45 * MollyK nods "And when I am eventually increasing?" Nov 11 18:16:16 Then... I don't know, maybe I'll get you a long poking stick Nov 11 18:16:25 * MollyK giggles Nov 11 18:16:36 That will be the reason I am increasing at all Nov 11 18:16:45 No that'd be a thick branch Nov 11 18:16:50 * Morgan coughs quietly Nov 11 18:16:57 Mmmmhmmmm oh yes. Nov 11 18:19:38 By this time next year, we hopefully will have a happy secret... Nov 11 18:19:59 You would wish to keep it quiet Nov 11 18:20:37 I... I hadn't really decided. It will depend somewhat on my magic Nov 11 18:21:06 Oh? Nov 11 18:22:42 It is common to wait until the quickening. Is that what you did with Jana, or did you tell people earlier? (There's no cannon, so feel free) Nov 11 18:23:35 We kept it to ourselves... the news was not going to be welcome so... Nov 11 18:24:49 That's so sad, my love. I am sorry *she puts a hand over his through her cloak* Nov 11 18:25:25 * Morgan nods Nov 11 18:25:32 Obviously that will not be the case this time Nov 11 18:27:11 * MollyK nods, saying nothing Nov 11 18:28:15 Its alright. Nov 11 18:29:00 * MollyK fishes out her handkerchief, wiping her eyes Nov 11 18:31:32 Sorry... Nov 11 18:32:38 * Morgan holds her tighter Nov 11 18:32:41 Hey, its alright Nov 11 18:32:53 * MollyK nods, swallowing hard Nov 11 18:33:25 My heart hurts for you. All that sweet joy, and you had to keep it contained Nov 11 18:34:07 * Morgan nods Nov 11 18:34:28 I kept mostly to myself anyway, it wasn't that big a thing.... And I'm going to be unsufferable this time Nov 11 18:34:42 * MollyK wipes her eyes again Nov 11 18:34:45 Why? Nov 11 18:36:10 Because I can. Because I won't be trying to avoid falling out with my family over it. Nov 11 18:36:30 * MollyK nods, squeezing his hand Nov 11 18:36:57 I cannot wait to make you a Father again... Nov 11 18:37:52 * Morgan nods Nov 11 18:37:53 Nor I Nov 11 18:38:12 * MollyK nods Nov 11 18:38:38 Did you tell Sascha and Otto? Heinzharold and Claudia? Nov 11 18:39:13 eventually Nov 11 18:39:47 I suppose it's eventually unavoidable? It becomes rather obvious! Nov 11 18:40:19 * Morgan nods Nov 11 18:40:25 Aye, it does rather Nov 11 18:40:40 Were they happy? Nov 11 18:41:16 * Morgan nods Nov 11 18:41:18 delighted Nov 11 18:41:30 Even Claudia?! Nov 11 18:42:00 As much as she shows, yeah... Nov 11 18:42:37 That's nice... Was Heinzharold elated? Nov 11 18:43:01 * Morgan nods Nov 11 18:43:04 Aye, he was Nov 11 18:44:25 * MollyK nods Nov 11 18:44:40 By summer I hope you can return that joy for him Nov 11 18:46:08 God I hope so.... I can't wait for them to have that... Nov 11 18:46:25 * MollyK nods Nov 11 18:46:50 Me either. Then you will want to sketch her with child? Nov 11 18:47:36 If they'd like Nov 11 18:48:09 And when it is I? Will your kohl ever be out of your hand? Nov 11 18:50:58 Oh yes... when my hands are upon you Nov 11 18:51:47 Oh from what I have seen before, you can have one hand upon me -and- a firm grip on your.... kohl. Nov 11 19:00:44 * Morgan nods slightly Nov 11 19:00:47 Uhhh... yes Nov 11 19:01:51 I'm sorry, that was very rude! Nov 11 19:03:00 It was a little bit, yes Nov 11 19:03:15 Do I have your forgiveness? Nov 11 19:04:40 Of course my love Nov 11 19:05:26 * MollyK nods Nov 11 19:05:30 Thank you Nov 11 19:06:48 * Morgan looks around Nov 11 19:07:24 *everything looks peaceful still* Nov 11 19:08:19 Going to have to borrow crew from the Rose unless Witts has out done himself Nov 11 19:08:56 Borrow it for now, but the Star can be in Zweibrucke whilst he resolves that? Nov 11 19:09:43 * Morgan nods Nov 11 19:09:52 I only meant for our journey to the Empire Nov 11 19:10:16 * MollyK nods Nov 11 19:10:36 Familiar crew will make your debut easier Nov 11 19:11:23 Debut? Nov 11 19:11:57 As Captain Morgan Nov 11 19:17:20 * Morgan shrugs Nov 11 19:17:22 I suppose Nov 11 19:18:19 **it starts to rain, and he sends her into the carriage, leaving him much colder. It's soon heavy, so they ride on quietly and then have to make a dash for the tiny inn. The room is warm, as is the welcome they're given. Their bedroom is small but fine for him to get changed and dried whilst Molly and Varick, who is going to be sharing with them, Nov 11 19:18:19 are downstairs. There's a knock at the door whilst he's still shirtless Nov 11 19:18:49 * Morgan takes a deep breath before speaking Nov 11 19:18:50 Come Nov 11 19:19:11 * MollyK is now known as Inga Nov 11 19:20:41 * Inga has a tray with a pot and two cups. She's careful bringing it in Nov 11 19:20:59 * Morgan rummages for a shirt but isn't scrambling to find one Nov 11 19:21:20 Molly's downstairs sweetheart Nov 11 19:21:53 Actually I was looking for you, if I could talk to you? Nov 11 19:22:36 oh... of course, yes... Nov 11 19:23:11 * Inga pours coffee and takes a seat without waiting for it to be offered like she used to Nov 11 19:24:28 * Morgan watches her fondly before pulling a shirt on and sitting down Nov 11 19:25:42 I think I might have been a bit rude to you last night and I want to say sorry Nov 11 19:26:11 Starting to remember, huh? Nov 11 19:29:25 I don't, but if I feel a bit guilty the morning after it's normally because I hurt someone's feelings Nov 11 19:30:45 You didn't, don't worry. *he watches her for a moment* are you like that normally, with HeinzHarold and Molly? That... ummm... unguarded? Nov 11 19:32:24 I'm unguarded with them, but I don't know if it's like that because I can't remember what like that was! *she smiles* Nov 11 19:42:02 So... what has Molly told you today? Nov 11 19:43:23 That you are not as straight-laced and reserved as I think. But mostly she wanted to know about last night Nov 11 19:44:30 * Morgan nods slowly Nov 11 19:45:21 I didn't think badly of you, I swear! Nov 11 19:45:29 You hold a certain view of me... last night, after you'd gently explained what swiving is, you reassured me that Molly says I'm... very good and not boring... Nov 11 19:45:53 * Inga blushes Nov 11 19:47:35 She says you're incredible and she's so lucky. Some people are just more reserved. Even when you were on visits from the Academy and the fighting there was no gossip about you flirting with any of the maids, or having a friendly maid, or even about the state of your towels and sheets Nov 11 19:48:08 * Morgan sips his coffee Nov 11 19:49:10 I am reserved... I always have been, though it is moreso since losing Dietlinde. I shut myself away and forgot about everything... I'm still working on that, being more obviously expressive. Nov 11 19:49:38 * Inga nods Nov 11 19:50:04 It's alright to not be like Heinzharold Nov 11 19:51:19 Thing is... deep down, I am quite like him... though, there was a reason I was known as Saint Morgan of Puritytown... Nov 11 19:52:27 He told me all about you never going in brothels or messing with the campies Nov 11 19:52:45 * Morgan nods Nov 11 19:53:03 Never even went inside, even when it was pouring with rain. Just wasn't... me. Nov 11 19:54:16 Did you get better when you were married? *she sips her coffee, looking more at ease, maybe even nosey* Nov 11 19:55:08 More expressive, certainly... I wasn't shy about showing my love for Dietlinde but... I was always very gentle, quite conventional. Nov 11 19:55:27 * Inga nods as if this confirms it Nov 11 19:56:44 I suppose its no surprise you hold that view of me... which would explain your reaction to what I said about Molly not being bored... Nov 11 19:57:41 * Inga looks sheepish "I don't have much of a filter when drunk" Nov 11 19:57:59 * Morgan sips his coffee before looking at her solemnly Nov 11 19:58:15 That lack of filter, that... -openness-, it meant the world to me Nov 11 19:58:47 But why? Nov 11 20:01:24 Because... You've made my best friend so incredibly happy, my wife is much happier having a best friend in you... my son adores you, you've made my entire world a kinder, happier place... but I've always felt you are standing on ceremony, keeping yourself a little... I don't know, concealed, maybe Nov 11 20:02:07 * Inga looks touched Nov 11 20:03:20 I didn't want to offend you. I've always respected and served you and your family. Nov 11 20:05:29 I appreciate your respect, it shows I'm going something right... I meant what I said in the coach... you are my friend, and I love you, and it.. it pains me that you hold yourself distant to me, but I've never pushed that. And I never will. *he sips his coffee* sometimes friends offend eachother. What makes them friends is being able to work it out afterwards. Nov 11 20:06:03 * Inga sips her coffee Nov 11 20:07:36 The way I talk with them, it's very open. We talk about things that might be uncomfortable for a nobleman raised in a house like yours Nov 11 20:08:31 Let me... let me tell you what I said, and then you can decide if that assessment still holds Nov 11 20:09:37 * Inga nods Nov 11 20:10:54 So... you'd assured me she says she doesn't find me boring... I said "After sex in a stable, I shouldn't imagine she would be bored' *he smiles faintly* you asked when she'd had sex in a stable and who with.... A good couple of minutes later, you got what I was saying. Nov 11 20:11:42 Oh I am so sorry! Molly would never ever be unfaithful to you! *she looks embarrassed* Nov 11 20:12:54 I know... I figured you thought it was before me... *he watches her, waiting for the penny to drop* Nov 11 20:14:05 Oh no, I know Molly was a virgin that day because she was really nervous, and Jarvie had told her all about what sex was going to feel like and how to relax so it went in easier *she's chatting away at speed* Nov 11 20:14:31 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee, letting her chatter Nov 11 20:15:38 You don't need to worry, she's never even pleasured a man at all before you, so you... *she slows*... you... you had sex in a stable?! *she looks shocked* Nov 11 20:16:03 And _thats_ almost exactly what happened last night Nov 11 20:16:56 * Inga 's eyes go wide, watching him "ohhhhhh!" Nov 11 20:17:19 * Morgan smiles, cradling the cup in both hands as he sips it Nov 11 20:17:29 Doesn't quite mesh with what you thought me, does it Nov 11 20:18:02 * Inga whispers, shock turning to excitement "it was the Eisenfurst's stable, wasn't it? That's why she looked so daydreamy in there!" Nov 11 20:18:23 * Morgan nods Nov 11 20:18:38 Aye, thats right. Something like that occurred to you this morning, I understand Nov 11 20:18:49 -That's- why I dreamt it! Nov 11 20:19:14 * Morgan nods Nov 11 20:19:17 Probably, aye Nov 11 20:19:22 * Inga looks to be getting more comfortable in her seat, preparing for gossip "Tell me everything!" Nov 11 20:20:08 like... Nov 11 20:20:28 Was it in the hay?! On a mounting block?! Nov 11 20:21:03 * Morgan smiles Nov 11 20:21:07 * Inga 's eyes are lit up. There's clearly no judgement there, despite her conviction being destoyed Nov 11 20:21:35 We discussed this last night... and I said... do you recall the wall that had to be rebuilt? Nov 11 20:22:01 You broke a wall?! Nov 11 20:22:26 Noooooo... but we made love against it before it was blown up Nov 11 20:22:42 * Inga looks gleeful Nov 11 20:23:10 You f-... swived her against a wall?! Nov 11 20:23:43 mmhmmm... fucked her against a wall with her skirts pulled up... very nearly got caught by Edward Nov 11 20:23:56 * Inga stares open mouthed Nov 11 20:24:13 Oh my god! That's so hot. Nov 11 20:24:32 That means aroused... lusty... horny... turned on... lascivious... Nov 11 20:24:40 * Inga nods Nov 11 20:24:43 I know Nov 11 20:25:03 You explained that to me last night too... before I sent you to your bed with your husband Nov 11 20:25:43 I don't remember anything after going out of the brothel until Heinzharold had taken my clothes off Nov 11 20:26:29 * Morgan nods Nov 11 20:26:56 We walked along, you on my arm, excited, fishing for details... I felt properly accepted. Nov 11 20:27:16 What details did you tell me? Nov 11 20:27:40 About the same as I have now... without the profanity Nov 11 20:27:51 I don't mind profanity Nov 11 20:28:59 Just as well, being married to HeinzHarold Nov 11 20:29:12 *she nods* That was back in August? Wow, it's no wonder she was writing you all those dirty letters in that book! Nov 11 20:29:23 * Morgan nods Nov 11 20:31:01 Aye. They served a slightly different purpose... they brought me hope when I was suffering Nov 11 20:32:26 I think she was mostly trying to give you something to think about to get off to Nov 11 20:32:50 * Inga suddenly looks unsure "are you sure this isn't too open?" Nov 11 20:33:28 If something bothers me, I will tell you, gently. I'm not going to get all... like my father. Nov 11 20:34:05 * Inga nods Nov 11 20:34:15 Thank you Nov 11 20:34:34 You're right... that was her intention Nov 11 20:37:19 I thought it was clever. I wished I'd thought of it Nov 11 20:38:36 Y'know Claudia allowed us ten minutes in the morning to mope about missing the two of you? Nov 11 20:38:50 Only ten minutes? Nov 11 20:39:16 She doesn't like moping. And we needed to stay focussed Nov 11 20:41:19 How long did he mope for? Nov 11 20:42:43 Ten minutes, every single day. And then a bit secretly when she wasn't looking. It was a bit easier for him when he had the drawing... spoke to you every night Nov 11 20:43:33 * Inga giggles "and more" Nov 11 20:43:44 No doubt Nov 11 20:44:49 We did a lot of moping and more too Nov 11 20:45:01 * Morgan nods Nov 11 20:45:07 Not much else to do in Tawstock Nov 11 20:45:33 * Inga nods Nov 11 20:46:13 Did you swive her in the stables there too? Nov 11 20:46:28 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 11 20:46:45 No... we've only done things like that in Eisen Nov 11 20:48:23 Why? Nov 11 20:49:07 Circumstances while we were in Avalon were too... serious. We had too much on our minds catching Dau, helping Elsie... Nov 11 20:52:13 Heinzharold really struggled because of what happened with Elsie Nov 11 20:52:34 * Morgan nods Nov 11 20:52:46 I know. I felt so useless, not being able to help him Nov 11 20:52:55 * Inga nods Nov 11 20:54:02 How did you end up swiving in his Grace's stables? Nov 11 20:54:45 She'd been to see Sabines art... she needed some physical affection when she got back and it sort of... escalated. Nov 11 20:55:50 Wow. I would never have thought you'd do that Nov 11 20:56:27 I was a little surprised... but after I discovered Molly only thought I loved her enough, I resolved to be more expressive. Nov 11 20:56:36 * Inga nods Nov 11 20:56:44 That was sad Nov 11 20:57:00 * Morgan nods Nov 11 20:57:06 I felt terrible about it. I still do. Nov 11 20:58:27 I didn't really know about it properly until after you picked us up in Freiburg to go to Avalon Nov 11 20:59:13 * Morgan nods Nov 11 20:59:22 My father noticed it... Nov 11 21:00:42 I thought everything seemed alright. It was clear that you loved each other, but it was a bit like there was a hole in the floor you were both always walking around Nov 11 21:01:04 * Morgan nods Nov 11 21:01:13 Thats a very apt way of describing it Nov 11 21:01:53 I think it's gotten smaller though Nov 11 21:02:40 * Morgan nods Nov 11 21:02:56 I think prophets mass was another big step closer Nov 11 21:03:17 * Inga nods Nov 11 21:04:14 Molly has to start being herself, not making sure everyone knows she isn't trying to be Dietlinde. Nov 11 21:04:30 She is Nov 11 21:05:09 I know, but it has to continue Nov 11 21:05:39 * Morgan looks at her seriously Nov 11 21:05:43 You think it will not? Nov 11 21:06:57 No, but I suppose I think there's a risk of her backsliding a bit when she's with child Nov 11 21:07:13 * Morgan nods Nov 11 21:07:35 I don't intend to let her question my love for her ever again. Nov 11 21:10:38 She knew you loved her, and we all knew you did. I just think she was aware that you'd been through so much and had loved Dietlinde so much that it was impossible for you to love her the same. Nov 11 21:11:07 Its not the same... but it is completely Nov 11 21:13:38 * Inga nods Nov 11 21:14:23 I can't wait to ask her all about the stables! Nov 11 21:14:32 * Morgan nods Nov 11 21:14:40 Start with the tamer stuff, good idea Nov 11 21:14:44 * Morgan sips his coffee Nov 11 21:14:55 * Inga looks shocked Nov 11 21:15:22 That's not tame! Even Heinzharold would think that's too much risk! Nov 11 21:16:04 Risky, certainly... Nov 11 21:19:43 What would have happened if His Grace had caught you? Nov 11 21:20:06 Well, we wouldn't be going to capperlucia for him... or have titles... probably. Nov 11 21:20:34 It wouldn't have been worth it then? Nov 11 21:21:45 * Morgan grins Nov 11 21:21:48 Wouldn't say that... Nov 11 21:22:23 Better than getting a Grafdom?! Nov 11 21:23:23 Given the intimacy it has sparked in us... yes. Nov 11 21:25:01 I'm going to have to tell her you said so! Nov 11 21:25:29 * Morgan puts a hand to his forehead Nov 11 21:25:37 Oh, is nothing sacred? *he grins* Nov 11 21:25:56 Have -you- ever told her that? Nov 11 21:26:21 Only... no, thats just obscene... no, I haven't Nov 11 21:26:43 * Inga looks like there could be gossip "only...?" Nov 11 21:27:05 Not entirely sure you're ready for such a statement from me... Nov 11 21:27:25 Maybe that's what I need to understand who you really are Nov 11 21:27:58 Sounds like a ploy to me... *he sips his coffee before taking a breath* I've only told her so by my lips upon her body. Nov 11 21:28:19 * Inga looks surprised Nov 11 21:28:53 That's bold of you to say, thought I did know you have some skills in that department Nov 11 21:29:12 I -did- say it was obscene Nov 11 21:29:42 That's nice though. I'm glad you're more of a match for her than I thought Nov 11 21:30:36 You thought me not passionate enough for her Nov 11 21:31:49 Not worldly and experimental enough. I thought it was sad she knew a special thing to do with her mouth but that she wouldn't be able to put it into practice Nov 11 21:32:38 * Morgan nods Nov 11 21:32:56 -might- have done that in a coach Nov 11 21:34:45 *her mouth opens to a diss tan every not far off equal to the activity in discusssion* The Eisenfursts?! Nov 11 21:34:54 Distance* Nov 11 21:35:20 Noooooo... one we were using, before all that Nov 11 21:36:15 Wow! It's not easy to do normally, but in a coach?! Nov 11 21:36:51 Think you've rather told me something about yourself there Nov 11 21:36:59 What? Nov 11 21:37:11 * Morgan smiles Nov 11 21:37:35 Nevermind. You are not... upset, or offended by the way you see me now? Nov 11 21:38:30 No, I think it's wonderful for Molly, and anything that makes Molly happy makes me happy too Nov 11 21:39:43 * Morgan nods, looking relieved Nov 11 21:40:15 It's almost like you're just a normal horny man like all the others *she smiles* Nov 11 21:40:56 Apart from the fire, the scars and the amazing friends Nov 11 21:41:35 I mean for sex Nov 11 21:42:10 Not quite like all the others *he winks at her* but she'll tell you about that at some point I imagine Nov 11 21:43:47 Is it really shocking? Nov 11 21:44:07 A little... maybe. Probably. Nov 11 21:44:17 That's so exciting! Nov 11 21:44:53 * Morgan smiles, sipping his coffee Nov 11 21:45:10 She did say things changed after the cast, I didn't know sex was involved! Nov 11 21:45:44 * Morgan nods Nov 11 21:45:50 More and more. Nov 11 21:46:21 Does Heinzharold know about all this? Nov 11 21:46:42 Don't be angry at him... he and Molly, they both know how private a person I am Nov 11 21:47:03 I'm not angry, I'm shocked he managed to keep his big mouth shut Nov 11 21:48:02 He has other things on his mind when you are nearby... *he shifts in the seat, looking slightly unsure of himself* did he... mention the drawing? Nov 11 21:48:40 Where you drew Molly naked when she fell in the pool? Nov 11 21:49:05 Ah, he hasn't then... and she wasn't naked, exactly... Nov 11 21:49:37 What drawing? Nov 11 21:50:36 * Morgan gets up, fetching his book and opening it, pausing as he stands in front of her Nov 11 21:51:01 I... I planned to frame it and give it to you and HeinzHarold but.... If you... I'll destroy it not if you want... Nov 11 21:51:19 * Morgan plonks the book on her lap before retreating Nov 11 21:52:19 * Inga looks at it, surprised Nov 11 21:52:34 Well... Nov 11 21:53:51 * Inga looks it over "Are my bubbies really that big?" Nov 11 21:54:32 I didn't look -that- hard, but its accurate to what I remember Nov 11 21:54:41 * Inga smiles Nov 11 21:54:46 It's really good work Nov 11 21:54:55 You hate it... Nov 11 21:55:22 No, not at all! I've never seen erotic art before Nov 11 21:59:53 * Morgan shrugs Nov 11 22:00:06 Its just what I saw... that love and desire and trust and adoration and enjoyment Nov 11 22:01:42 * Inga nods eagerly Nov 11 22:01:56 It was such a good evening Nov 11 22:05:28 * Morgan nods Nov 11 22:05:34 I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves Nov 11 22:05:56 * Inga nods Nov 11 22:07:07 We definitely did. It was nice to be able to just kiss and touch without thinking so much about whether it's acceptable to be that affectionate Nov 11 22:08:10 * Morgan nods Nov 11 22:08:31 Obviously I can't speak for anyone else, but it didn't bother me at all... surprised me a little, if I'm honest Nov 11 22:08:40 Why? Nov 11 22:21:25 You aren't the only one labouring under an illusion... you're sweet, innocent Inga, sat in a brothel with your bubbies out... not what I expected at all Nov 11 22:24:52 I'm surprised Heinzharold hasn't told you that I'm not very innocent Nov 11 22:25:33 No... he dances around it... I think perhaps he feels you wouldn't want me knowing... Nov 11 22:26:06 I didn't want your bad opinion Nov 11 22:26:47 Which you expected because I am... -was- so conventional and... reserved Nov 11 22:27:01 * Inga nods Nov 11 22:28:05 When did you stop being conventional? Nov 11 22:28:50 That'll be Molly's influence... there is a drive to be more... experimental, to test our own boundaries... Nov 11 22:29:45 I'd have watched Varick for you to take Molly to the brothel Nov 11 22:30:38 I did ask if she wanted to go but she didn't have any interest... besides, the two of you had had it planned so long, it wouldn't have been fair... I'm keenly aware of the time you sacrifice for us Nov 11 22:32:03 We love being with you and looking after Varick. And it's no bother. Heinzharold says there's only so many times a day he can do it without his plums becoming raisins Nov 11 22:34:25 I'm very grateful... it really does mean the world to me, and to Varick... to be surrounded on all sides by such love... Nov 11 22:34:46 * Inga smiles Nov 11 22:34:52 You have lots of love Nov 11 22:35:05 Surprisingly, aye Nov 11 22:35:33 You're likeable. You're a good father and husband and friend Nov 11 22:37:24 Oh... you mean I am given lots of love.... *he bows his head slightly* yes... more than I feel I deserve at times Nov 11 22:37:57 * Inga shakes her head Nov 11 22:38:04 It is deserved Nov 11 22:38:46 * Morgan smiles slightly Nov 11 22:38:51 I'm working on accepting that Nov 11 22:39:54 * Inga nods Nov 11 22:40:57 Do you need us to have Varick with us tonight? Or we can occupy him a while if you need your room a little while? Nov 11 22:43:40 I daresay that would be welcomed by a certain person Nov 11 22:43:54 Which option? Nov 11 22:44:38 Occupying him... we'll have him in with us tonight Nov 11 22:45:20 * Inga nods Nov 11 22:45:31 Just say when Nov 11 22:45:49 * Morgan nods, taking the book before sitting back down Nov 11 22:45:59 Were you nervous about coming to speak to me? Nov 11 22:46:45 I was nervous that I'd said something that really hurt your feelings, but I was confident you'd accept the apology Nov 11 22:48:14 * Morgan smiles Nov 11 22:48:22 You've never been intimidated by me, have you? Nov 11 22:50:16 * Inga shakes her head Nov 11 22:50:41 I've never needed to be Nov 11 22:51:07 You always knew I'd never act against you? Nov 11 22:52:20 You were very kind to me after Heinrich, and you told me you'd tugged a bull. Nov 11 22:52:58 Easy mistake to make Nov 11 22:53:39 * Inga nods Nov 11 22:53:50 Would it be alright if I give you a hug? Nov 11 22:54:35 I would always gladly accept one Nov 11 22:54:49 * Inga stands up to hug him Nov 11 22:55:11 * Morgan puts the book aside, enveloping her in his arms Nov 11 22:55:36 I'm really glad you're not a prude Nov 11 22:56:00 * Morgan laughs, kissing her crown gently Nov 11 22:56:05 Me too Nov 11 22:57:05 Do you know where Molly is? I think she and I are going to want to chat and open a bottle of wine Nov 11 22:58:14 * Morgan lets her go Nov 11 22:58:27 [Blossom, Inga is wondering if you're available for wine and chat] Nov 11 22:58:56 [I'm in with DeeDee at the moment, but I won't be long] Nov 11 22:59:11 * Inga finishes her coffee Nov 11 23:00:09 She's talking to DeeDee, but she won't be long Nov 11 23:00:55 * Inga nods "unless you need her first? We could talk after dinner" Nov 11 23:02:27 No, its fine... I need to speak to your husband anyway Nov 11 23:02:35 And I'm going to play with Varick for a while Nov 11 23:03:24 * Inga nods. They go downstairs and find Varick and HH playing cards in the taproom. Nov 11 23:04:25 * Inga is now known as HH Nov 11 23:04:36 * HH looks to Morgan Nov 11 23:05:02 Molly's upstairs talking to DeeDee, Claudia's gone for a walk Nov 11 23:05:15 * Morgan nods Nov 11 23:05:17 She ok? Nov 11 23:05:26 Seems it Nov 11 23:05:42 I'll leave her be then... Nov 11 23:05:48 * HH nods Nov 11 23:06:11 I: Do you want me to take over so you two can talk? Nov 11 23:06:28 If you're sure you don't mind... we won't be long Nov 11 23:06:40 $thats what she said$ Nov 11 23:09:50 * HH chuckles, following Morgan outdoors when it's sunset Nov 11 23:09:57 Wassup? Nov 11 23:10:31 Nothing much... Just wanted to keep you apprised... Need you and Claudia to be on top form tomorrow... I'm taking a little side trip with DeeDee Nov 11 23:10:54 * HH nods Nov 11 23:10:58 Tha's fine Nov 11 23:11:03 * Morgan nods Nov 11 23:11:21 One of Edwards friends didn't come to the wedding... we're going to check on them.... now... the Empire... Nov 11 23:12:09 * HH nods Nov 11 23:12:26 You gonn' argue if I tell you to stay behind? Nov 11 23:13:08 You gon' be able to concentrate on yer mission with one eye on Molly's safety? Nov 11 23:14:25 Ah, so you are *he grins* Nov 11 23:15:30 Nah man, jus' askin' an innocent question Nov 11 23:16:10 Thing is... if we can't persuade them to give her up... that sort of puts it right in our wheelhouse, doesn't it... Nov 11 23:16:22 Jailbreak! Nov 11 23:16:26 * HH grins Nov 11 23:17:52 Bit of a complication in that she has no memory... and we don't know if Molly can fix that Nov 11 23:18:07 Gotta play it by ear Nov 11 23:18:52 * Morgan nods Nov 11 23:19:06 I'm picking up a wig or two tomorrow just to cover the bases... Nov 11 23:19:22 * HH nods Nov 11 23:19:42 Gonna be five days? Nov 11 23:20:45 About that, yeah Nov 11 23:20:53 * HH nods Nov 11 23:21:02 I'll let Inga know Nov 11 23:21:25 I -hate- that I'm keeping you from her again Nov 11 23:22:11 Nah man. You'll prob'ly need to buy me a new outfit when we get back though Nov 11 23:23:13 Cos she'll tear it off... Nov 11 23:23:36 Yep Nov 11 23:23:40 * Morgan nods Nov 11 23:23:44 Need to get that rock sold Nov 11 23:23:59 Women, man. Fuckin' savages. Nov 11 23:24:46 * Morgan nods Nov 11 23:25:08 Her reaction was almost exactly the same sober as drunk, by the way Nov 11 23:25:29 Told 'er then? She didn' look that shocked Nov 11 23:25:55 She adjusted to it quickly... the shock on her face while we were having coffee was quite the picture Nov 11 23:26:04 * HH chuckles Nov 11 23:26:49 She's quite open-minded Nov 11 23:26:57 * Morgan nods Nov 11 23:27:07 Its quite a shift, from what she thought of me though Nov 11 23:27:27 * HH nods Nov 11 23:28:43 Yeah. I shoulda said y' wanted some information on cov'ring peaches with cream th' other day, that woulda been funny Nov 11 23:28:58 Talk about missed opportunities Nov 11 23:29:26 Yeah. I can tell 'er later though Nov 11 23:29:40 * Morgan nods Nov 11 23:30:10 'Less Molly is gonna share summat about that! Nov 11 23:30:52 Thats entirely possible... I believe the plan is chat and wine... Nov 11 23:31:29 Y'know they'll spend ages talkin' bout everything you've ever done, right? Nov 11 23:31:57 * Morgan takes a deep breath and nods Nov 11 23:32:27 Aye, I know. Nov 11 23:32:44 Prob'ly the three hours and the rope too! Nov 11 23:35:12 You'll be in for a lot of work overnight then Nov 11 23:35:38 Hearin' it all? Nov 11 23:37:27 No, I reckon there'll be a challenge there Nov 11 23:38:03 What sorta challenge? Nov 11 23:38:11 Don't be dense man Nov 11 23:38:45 She's not th' sort to need to outdo her friends Nov 11 23:39:15 No... but still, I'd be curious in her place Nov 11 23:39:48 About what? Nov 11 23:39:54 What its like... Nov 11 23:40:13 Doin' it in the stables? Nov 11 23:42:36 Coming for three hours solid... Nov 11 23:43:04 Oh man ain't no one got the energy for that after riding all day! Nov 11 23:43:27 Speak for yourself Nov 11 23:44:35 * HH grins "After about twenty minutes I'd get my arm ripped off." Nov 11 23:44:43 Hence the rope Nov 11 23:44:54 Safety first Nov 11 23:45:02 * HH chuckles Nov 11 23:45:36 Just gets to a point where she doesn' want any more and just wants to be swived instead Nov 11 23:46:23 mmhmmm... yep, so did Molly Nov 11 23:47:44 Took three hours?! Nov 11 23:48:34 No... though the desperation for it set in -fairly- quickly... Nov 11 23:49:50 You didn't stop to give it to her? Nov 11 23:50:48 No... I told her she would endure orgasms for three hours... and thats what I ensured -before- swiving her Nov 11 23:52:03 * HH looks impressed Nov 11 23:52:10 Long time, man Nov 11 23:52:26 * Morgan nods, looking round Nov 11 23:52:28 yep Nov 11 23:52:41 Enjoyed yerself? Nov 11 23:52:47 * Morgan grins Nov 11 23:52:48 entirely Nov 11 23:53:21 Sounds like you two are really findin' yer groove Nov 11 23:53:47 * Morgan nods Nov 11 23:53:56 I think so, yeah Nov 11 23:55:53 E'eryone seems t' think sailors are all into tying up, but I've only known a handful say they like that Nov 11 23:56:45 I don't know that I'm -into- it... someone certainly is... and I just happen to be good with rope. Nov 11 23:57:19 Three hours is a long time t8 do summit yer not into, man Nov 11 23:58:06 Like I said, safety first... Nov 11 23:58:37 Less chance of being scratched to shit Nov 11 23:58:44 * Morgan nods Nov 11 23:58:50 Wouldn't feel much of it anyway Nov 11 23:59:14 Whysat? Nov 11 23:59:49 Same reason I like swimming in -really- cold water... can't feel much where the scars are, skins too damaged.
