**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Nov 13 00:00:45 2022 Nov 13 00:00:45 [oh?] Nov 13 00:02:17 [I've been talking about several exciting things we've done... remembering you like that, it's arousing] Nov 13 00:02:54 [oh, I see] Nov 13 00:03:15 [what did you think I meant?] Nov 13 00:03:31 [Just that you miss me] Nov 13 00:03:52 *the food is brought over. The small tavern is getting busier* Nov 13 00:04:08 [I do miss you too, of course] Nov 13 00:05:30 [I'm glad to hear that] Nov 13 00:06:13 [you doubted that?] Nov 13 00:06:57 [no love] Nov 13 00:07:16 [are you enjoying yourselves?] Nov 13 00:07:42 [aye, its nice] Nov 13 00:09:34 [are you missing me?] Nov 13 00:10:09 [of course] Nov 13 00:11:25 [*she sounds amused* but not aroused, hmm?] Nov 13 00:12:30 [not yet] Nov 13 00:13:21 [you're anticipating something pleasing?] Nov 13 00:13:44 [quietly hoping] Nov 13 00:14:13 [Intriguing... what were you quietly hoping for?] Nov 13 00:14:34 [not sure] Nov 13 00:16:40 [it wouldn't be something like me sending thoughts to you like this... *she sends him the image of her hand over his, running it up her inner thigh*] Nov 13 00:17:57 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 13 00:22:21 * Claudia has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 13 19:32:08 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Nov 13 20:10:00 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Nov 13 20:10:47 [00:03:57] Claudia: [it wouldn't be something like me sending thoughts to you like this... *she sends him the image of her hand over his, running it up her inner thigh*] Nov 13 20:11:17 [something like, yes] Nov 13 20:12:26 [rather limited inside by our roommate, and outside by the rain!] Nov 13 20:13:07 [Yes, we are Nov 13 20:14:47 *she sends him the image of them kissing hard, passionately trying to undress each other in what looks like an outbuilding, the rain loudly drumming on the metal roof* Nov 13 20:15:20 *HH is talking about having not followed in his father's trade* Nov 13 20:15:36 * Morgan drinks some ale Nov 13 20:15:47 Still exceptionally skilled at it, though, aren't ya Nov 13 20:16:01 * MollyK is now known as HH Nov 13 20:16:09 [Another day and we will have our privacy again] Nov 13 20:16:17 Yeah, I'm not bad Nov 13 20:16:34 [quiet hour might be noisy hour, hmm?] Nov 13 20:16:49 * Morgan snorts Nov 13 20:17:21 Man, your da would be proud at how well you turn out things Nov 13 20:18:01 *HH looks touched* Thanks , man. C: You notice the only thing he's modest about is the only thing he's actually good at? Nov 13 20:18:40 ouch Nov 13 20:18:51 * Morgan sniffs Nov 13 20:19:19 If you weren't fantastic at it, you think the two of us would favour the swords -you- made? Nov 13 20:19:52 Sentimental value. But nah, I'm pretty goid Nov 13 20:20:03 [Yes, I think it will be] Nov 13 20:20:11 * Morgan glances at Claudia Nov 13 20:20:43 [assuming we've not set off for the Empire] Nov 13 20:20:44 Horseshit. They're excellent swords, well weighted, balanced and strong too. Nov 13 20:21:07 *claudia nods* Nov 13 20:23:19 D: How did you all meet? Nov 13 20:23:40 [you'd be busy captaining if we were...] Nov 13 20:23:48 [thats true] Nov 13 20:24:03 I've known HeinzHarold since we were... what, six? Nov 13 20:24:14 Ten, man. Nov 13 20:24:48 * Morgan pulls a face Nov 13 20:24:55 Feels like longer. Nov 13 20:26:04 *she sends him the image of him at the ships wheel with a navy tricorn hat. She's bound and gagged in the diaphanous white gown, barefoot, hair down, tied to a mast* Nov 13 20:26:18 [That could be arranged] Nov 13 20:26:58 Y' know how they say time flies when you're havin' fun? Feels longer to you b'cause you're no fun *he grins* Nov 13 20:27:21 [too many people around] Nov 13 20:27:35 [and I don't own a tricorn] Nov 13 20:28:17 Not wrong. I didn't meet Claudia til the war, when she came and kicked me in the chest Nov 13 20:28:23 [that could easily be arranged] Nov 13 20:28:44 D: why did she kick you in the chest? Nov 13 20:29:01 *Claudia smiles a little* Because it's me. Nov 13 20:29:31 *DeeDee smiles back at her* I meant why did you kick -him-? Nov 13 20:29:54 Spend a few more days with 'im, you'll want to as well Nov 13 20:30:11 I'm insufferable. Nov 13 20:31:36 C: He was about the only person I'd properly respected in years Nov 13 20:33:08 Which makes her kicking me make total sense Nov 13 20:34:40 Don't knock it man, she told me if I ever looked at her th' wrong way she'd make it tha' the only mouth my manhood ever ended up in was my own! Nov 13 20:35:29 [I've got a hat] Nov 13 20:35:39 *DeeDee laughs* She told me she'd rip my eyes out and stuff them so far down my throat I could watch myself choke to death Nov 13 20:36:02 [mmm... then you will suffice...] Nov 13 20:36:28 * Morgan takes a mouthful of ale, looking thoughtful Nov 13 20:37:10 *Claudia smiles a little again* Don't get comfortable, I'd still do it to either of you. Nov 13 20:39:06 Inga would be really mad Nov 13 20:40:28 * Morgan nods Nov 13 20:41:47 D: Are the ladies well? Nov 13 20:43:04 Gossiping Nov 13 20:46:36 *DeeDee nods. She doesn’t send him anything more, and lets him eat in peace. The apologies between Claudia and DeeDee mean they're now more able to be together. The pipe is offered around, ale flowing. They talk about nothing much but the conversation is going well. Outside the rain seems to be increasing* Nov 13 20:48:41 *It's tough to say what conflict immediately proceeds the man getting punched in the face, but the sound of him crashing into a table and knocking of several glasses is enough to interrupt the talking at Morgan's own table* Nov 13 20:50:26 * Morgan looks round, standing up slowly Nov 13 20:51:11 *it's already descending into two small groups being verbally aggressive* Nov 13 20:51:54 * Morgan picks up his drink, walking towards the two groups, speaking loudly Nov 13 20:52:00 Gentlemen! Nov 13 20:52:28 *they're all pushing and shoving now, seven in total, and just ignore him* Nov 13 20:52:55 * Morgan whistles loudly Nov 13 20:53:22 *they look around Nov 13 20:55:00 Gentlemen... I'm sure you're all feeling very passionate about whatever this is about but, really, I'm enjoying spending time with my friends... so what I'd like to suggest is this... You all back down, go back to your drinks, and I'll buy each of you an ale, then we can all go about our evening in peace. Nov 13 20:55:47 *the man who got hit speaks* No! He fuckin' hit me! I'm not being disrespected by that cunt Nov 13 20:56:27 *the other man moves to try to hit him again, some of the others throwing punches too* Nov 13 20:57:13 * Morgan sighs, downing his drink, putting the glass on the bar, speaking to whomever is serving Nov 13 20:57:31 *there's a young maid* Nov 13 20:57:41 How you want to handle this? I could throw a title about, or throw them out if they're too much for you Nov 13 20:58:02 YM: throw them out, please Nov 13 20:58:18 * Morgan nods, looking back towards his table Nov 13 20:58:27 $this young lady would like them removed$ Nov 13 20:58:54 * HH and Claudia both come over. DeeDee follows them Nov 13 20:59:15 Out in th' rain, yeah? Nov 13 20:59:47 Oh yes. Lets try not to injure anyone... too much. Nov 13 21:02:38 *they get started with this. Claudia is just as able to carry one as DeeDee and HH who do likewise. They're leaving in that order when HH says something that makes DeeDee turn around. There's a klunk as the head of DeeDee's man whacks the head of the man Claudia is carrying. This makes Claudia and DeeDee laugh* Nov 13 21:03:20 * HH grins at Morgan "now they're really gonna 'ave sore heads tomorrow!" Nov 13 21:03:50 * Morgan nods, grabbing the two he'd spoken to and just walking them backwards out through the door into the rain Nov 13 21:04:20 *the final two have sat back down at the table, behaving themselves Nov 13 21:04:47 * Morgan comes back in, looking at them balefully Nov 13 21:05:01 The young lady behind the bar has any issue with you, you're leaving. Nov 13 21:05:16 *they both chorus "yessir" Nov 13 21:05:39 * Morgan nods, looking to the maid Nov 13 21:05:49 Any chance of a refill when you've got a moment? Nov 13 21:06:14 YM: sure. Thank you, they're always fighting! Nov 13 21:07:10 They pay enough to be worth the hassle? Nov 13 21:07:37 YM: Yes, they do Nov 13 21:07:56 * Morgan nods Nov 13 21:08:04 Worth tolerating then Nov 13 21:08:14 * Morgan inclines his head, going back to his table Nov 13 21:08:31 *She nods. The drinks are brought, on the house. The two men stay quiet. dinner has been over for ten minutes when she says [we're done, my love. I think early nights are in order, but you do not need to come up if you aren't ready to] Nov 13 21:08:56 * Morgan looks at DeeDee Nov 13 21:09:01 What's the plan for tomorrow? Nov 13 21:09:37 D: Won't take long to go to Petra's, it's not far off the main road Nov 13 21:09:49 C: Who is Petra? Nov 13 21:10:08 * HH glances at Morgan before quietly sipping his ale Nov 13 21:11:22 D: A friend of Edward's. He has known her since the Academy Nov 13 21:12:07 She the one he took James t' meet? *he looks to Morgan* Nov 13 21:12:12 * Morgan nods Nov 13 21:12:13 Aye Nov 13 21:12:46 D: *he looks relieved* Ah you know what Petra's business is then... Nov 13 21:13:14 Business... Nov 13 21:14:21 D: she runs a... it's a brothel, but high class Nov 13 21:15:10 You were concerned I would react badly... Nov 13 21:16:57 D: I wasn't sure Edward would want you making the link between he and her work Nov 13 21:18:38 * Morgan watches him Nov 13 21:18:41 interesting. Why? Nov 13 21:20:26 /nick DeeDee Nov 13 21:20:34 * HH is now known as DeeDee Nov 13 21:20:55 Not everyone is open with their siblings Nov 13 21:21:41 * Morgan nods Nov 13 21:21:43 Fair enough Nov 13 21:23:15 It will take us only half an hour to check she is well Nov 13 21:24:59 * Morgan nods Nov 13 21:25:10 I need to stop at a shop to buy a... wig... Nov 13 21:26:21 *HH sniggers* Nov 13 21:26:45 * DeeDee nods "It's not far from the merchant district" Nov 13 21:28:21 * Morgan nods Nov 13 21:28:36 I'll wait until Zweibrucke to visit the bank Nov 13 21:29:11 * DeeDee nods Nov 13 21:29:57 I'm sure Claudia and Heinzharold are more than capable for dealing with any issues Nov 13 21:30:17 * Morgan nods Nov 13 21:30:24 Without hesitation Nov 13 21:31:01 *HH finishes his ale* Reckon they're done yet? Nov 13 21:31:13 * Morgan nods Nov 13 21:31:24 I think... I'm going to head up and get some sleep Nov 13 21:31:45 *HH nods* I'm going t' bed Nov 13 21:32:59 * DeeDee looks to Claudia "another round? I'd like to learn how you were shuffling like that last night" Nov 13 21:33:27 *Claudia seems to weigh it up* Yeah, go on then, just one Nov 13 21:33:45 * DeeDee looks to the others "Goodnight" Nov 13 21:34:18 * Morgan stands up, squeezing Claudia's shoulder before inclining his head Nov 13 21:34:22 See you in the morning Nov 13 21:34:35 *Claudia nods* Night Nov 13 21:34:40 * DeeDee is now known as HH Nov 13 21:35:11 * HH heads up the stairs "they seem t' be on talking terms again" Nov 13 21:35:29 * Morgan nods Nov 13 21:35:37 Aye. Took some doing Nov 13 21:35:57 The fuck's it all about?" Nov 13 21:36:54 Think about it... she's suddenly very attracted to, as she puts it, the only predator a woman has to face. Her whole self image is in doubt Nov 13 21:37:42 * HH stops Nov 13 21:38:14 That's how she sees us? Nov 13 21:38:27 Thats how she sees men... we're special cases Nov 13 21:39:22 Fuckin' bleak though Nov 13 21:39:31 * Morgan nods Nov 13 21:40:12 To her, though, -we- are safe. When you caught up with us on the Rose, did you see the look of excitement, happiness when she saw you? Nov 13 21:40:22 * HH nods Nov 13 21:40:24 Yeah Nov 13 21:40:53 I've never seen that look before that moment. Nov 13 21:41:37 B'cause I'm great Nov 13 21:41:49 * Morgan nods Nov 13 21:41:51 Yep Nov 13 21:42:00 * HH keeps walking Nov 13 21:43:07 Yer okay too Nov 13 21:43:14 Have my moments Nov 13 21:43:32 No doubt I'm gonna hear all 'bout them for half hour now Nov 13 21:43:59 possibly... reckon you know it all anyway don't ya Nov 13 21:44:17 Unless there's anythin' new, yeah Nov 13 21:44:45 * Morgan shrugs, patting his shoulder Nov 13 21:44:47 Night man Nov 13 21:45:19 * HH hugs him Nov 13 21:45:44 Night Nov 13 21:46:23 * Morgan squeezes him before letting go and heading into his room Nov 13 21:47:17 * HH is now known as Molly Nov 13 21:48:03 **There's only one candle that she's reading by already under the sheets, and Varick is tucked up asleep on his pallet* Nov 13 21:49:36 * Morgan quickly gets undressed and ready for bed, climbing quietly under the sheets Nov 13 21:50:00 * Molly smiles, putting her book down Nov 13 21:50:21 ACTION talks in whispers "I'm looking forward to getting home to The Rose" Nov 13 21:50:22 * Received a CTCP from Molly (to #7thsea) Nov 13 21:51:43 Oh? Nov 13 21:52:51 I'm looking forward to our privacy Nov 13 21:53:01 * Morgan nods Nov 13 21:53:04 You had fun with Inga? Nov 13 21:53:49 * Molly nods Nov 13 21:53:51 Oh yes Nov 13 21:54:35 Dare I ask? Nov 13 21:55:18 She's very impressed that we are so passionate Nov 13 21:56:31 Oh? Nov 13 21:57:01 Mmhmm Nov 13 21:57:51 What did you tell her? Nov 13 21:59:05 It's probably quicker to say what I didn't! Nov 13 22:01:24 Really? Nov 13 22:05:19 Mmhmm Nov 13 22:05:37 * Morgan nods Nov 13 22:05:47 Can I expect some odd looks from her? Nov 13 22:06:27 I did not tell her about what we did in Westfeld, or that you spanked me earlier, which I said I was just sore from riding, or that you tied me up Nov 13 22:06:59 You think she would find all of them... abusive... Nov 13 22:07:13 * Molly frowns Nov 13 22:07:31 No, my love. Is that what -you- think?! Nov 13 22:08:06 No... I was just wondering why you didn't tell her about being tied up or spanked Nov 13 22:08:30 It's still quite new to us, it feels very private to me Nov 13 22:08:39 * Morgan nods Nov 13 22:08:42 Alright blossom Nov 13 22:08:53 You are happy with that? Nov 13 22:09:15 * Morgan nods Nov 13 22:09:20 Yes, thats fine Nov 13 22:09:51 She doesn't know about you ummm releasing on my face either Nov 13 22:10:12 That felt private too? Nov 13 22:10:29 We've not even properly discussed that between us yet Nov 13 22:10:44 * Morgan nods Nov 13 22:11:02 I suspect it'd be something the two of you bond over even more... Nov 13 22:11:26 It's wonderful to be able to tell her some things, but I don't need to share everything Nov 13 22:12:53 * Morgan nods Nov 13 22:12:55 Alright love Nov 13 22:12:59 I don't know for certain that it is something you and I will be doing again, or how else we might do it. There's no rush for me to tell her about it Nov 13 22:14:03 You did not enjoy it enough to wish to do it again? Nov 13 22:14:38 I absolutely did! But I am not sure that you did, or what you liked about it, or what you might wish to change Nov 13 22:14:56 * Morgan nods Nov 13 22:15:06 We will talk about it when we have privacy, I think Nov 13 22:15:15 * Molly nods, smiling Nov 13 22:15:35 Where it doesn't matter so much if we become aroused by talking about it? Nov 13 22:16:21 * Morgan nods Nov 13 22:16:26 Indeed Nov 13 22:16:47 * Molly bites her lip, smiling "it's a little late for that, but yes" Nov 13 22:17:06 * Morgan smiles Nov 13 22:17:53 How was your evening? Nov 13 22:18:13 Up and down... sorted out a fight... Varick let slip about Florrie... Nov 13 22:18:26 Oh dear Nov 13 22:18:32 * Morgan nods Nov 13 22:18:36 I'll have to explain to Edward Nov 13 22:19:13 He cannot expect a seven year old to keep so big a secret for so long Nov 13 22:19:24 No, I suppose not Nov 13 22:20:17 Is DeeDee hurt? Nov 13 22:20:52 A little Nov 13 22:21:34 I could get back up? Nov 13 22:21:55 If you want to... he's taking lessons from Claudia on shuffling a deck of cards Nov 13 22:23:18 I'd rather be here and hold you a while. Are they getting on? Nov 13 22:23:48 Claudia has explained that her distance is not that she dislikes him, they're getting along fine Nov 13 22:26:08 * Molly smiles Nov 13 22:26:37 It must be rather odd to be sat with him knowing how he tastes intimately without him knowing you do Nov 13 22:28:16 Oh, for her... yes, I suppose so Nov 13 22:29:22 * Molly nods Nov 13 22:29:39 Most people know who does and doesn't know that about them Nov 13 22:29:50 * Morgan nods Nov 13 22:29:52 I would imagine so Nov 13 22:31:50 Perhaps that's just people like us, who only have one or two partners that intimate in a lifetime. For others, it may matter less? Nov 13 22:32:42 * Morgan shrugs Nov 13 22:32:43 maybe Nov 13 22:33:45 * Molly shrugs Nov 13 22:33:58 Anyway, I am glad they are getting along Nov 13 22:34:34 * Morgan nods Nov 13 22:34:35 Me too Nov 13 22:34:59 Did you work on your sketch? Nov 13 22:35:41 No, not yet Nov 13 22:36:00 You said there are others to work on? Nov 13 22:36:11 Hans and Jana Nov 13 22:36:25 * Molly nods Nov 13 22:36:39 Claudia asked if I planned to name a ship for Jana Nov 13 22:36:50 Do you wish to? Nov 13 22:37:11 I'm not sure actually Nov 13 22:37:16 No? Nov 13 22:38:41 No... and I'm not sure I can explain why Nov 13 22:40:13 If she sank... Nov 13 22:40:18 * Morgan nods Nov 13 22:40:20 aye Nov 13 22:40:58 And... hmm... it feels like you are not letting her rest? Nov 13 22:41:37 A little, yes. And it seems... a little disrespectful Nov 13 22:41:49 Interesting. Why? Nov 13 22:42:04 I'm not sure Nov 13 22:42:13 * Molly nods Nov 13 22:42:19 Alright, my love Nov 13 22:42:41 * Molly moves over, gently kissing his cheek Nov 13 22:43:30 I think we should say goodnight... Nov 13 22:43:36 * Morgan nods Nov 13 22:43:38 aye Nov 13 22:44:28 * Molly cuddles up, head beneath his chin "I love you" Nov 13 22:44:51 * Morgan smiles Nov 13 22:44:54 I love you too Nov 13 22:45:39 *She sings in his head, but he barely gets chance to register the shanty before he drops off* Nov 13 22:46:18 **He starts to dream. He is still in the hospital in Insel, that same day. They had been to the library, and then walked the grounds. She had given him lunch, after which he required several shots of whiskey to dull the pain, and then he had slept, sweet dreams of being able to touch her face, hold her hand, slip one of his into her bodice to cup Nov 13 22:46:18 her breast as they kissed. He'd woken hard from it, but far less frustrated than before. Nov 13 22:46:18 *It wasn't until late evening after dinner that he'd really had time to speak with her. The pain is present, milk of the poppy has been offered but he cannot have that until he's ready to sleep, and with her sat on the bed watching him and reading to him, that would mean saying goodnight. She's been friendly but still professional all day, no Nov 13 22:46:18 mention of her bringing him off to a much needed release all over her hand. She keeps reading Nov 13 22:46:18 "This band of malevolent creatures stalks those who feel deep guilt. Narrow misses seem to be few and far between, so this author has only met one survivor. They reported meeting a group of monks on the road north of Weisfeld, having the previous night had a dream inspiring their shame and remorse." Nov 13 22:47:35 Sounds like rubbish Nov 13 22:48:24 *she glances at him, smiling, less formal in the dark room with only one candlelight. She looks so pretty, and there's so much of her pale bosom on show, where he'd kissed and licked her skin earlier* Rubbish? Is it worse than dreams inspiring great arousal that you cannot satisfy? Nov 13 22:49:33 I seem to recall a certain level of satisfaction Nov 13 22:49:57 * Molly smiles "Have you been recalling it all day?" Nov 13 22:50:23 * Morgan smiles Nov 13 22:50:26 That obvious? Nov 13 22:50:59 * Molly shakes her head "Not at all, you've barely seemed distracted" Nov 13 22:52:43 No, I've been very focussed... Nov 13 22:53:35 * Molly moves a little on the bed, her hip pressed against his thigh "On our book?" Nov 13 22:54:17 No... though that is very interesting if a little... farfetched Nov 13 22:55:03 Shall I continue then? *she smiles* Nov 13 22:55:31 By all means Nov 13 22:55:45 *she reads again* "The traveller communicated with them, but was not alarmed until they realised that their reflection in the monk's eyes was upside down" *she shudders, looking at the book* Ugh! That's so creepy!! Nov 13 22:55:58 * Morgan nods Nov 13 22:56:05 Sounds it, yeah. Nov 13 22:56:25 Does it say who the survivor is? Nov 13 22:58:19 No... And the book was published back in sixteen twenty, so they are likely dead anyway. *she fiddles with a little ringlet at her nape, twirling it around her finger idly* Nov 13 22:59:49 * Morgan nods Nov 13 22:59:59 "The traveller ran, and though the monks shouted accusations of guilt, he put cotton in his ears and continued to run. Several miles later he found a priest to confess to, and felt satisfied he was absolved" Nov 13 23:00:34 * Morgan laughs Nov 13 23:00:46 What lunatic, while running away, is sticking cotton in his ears? Nov 13 23:01:19 *she looks to him, giggling* An alive one? The last person I would wish to see in that instance would be another man of the cloth! Nov 13 23:02:18 * Morgan nods Nov 13 23:02:26 Its a bit of a stretch Nov 13 23:03:42 ACTION nods, licking her finger to then turn the page "Lore says these creatures are the Ashkoven. They disturb dreams to see how much guilt a person has and then lure them in by appealing to their interests. When alone, they will increase the person's guilt, and then feed on the guilty parts of their souls by sucking out their eyes." *she looks Nov 13 23:03:43 disgusted* Are you sure this will not give you nightmares?! Nov 13 23:03:43 * Received a CTCP from Molly (to #7thsea) Nov 13 23:04:31 * Morgan snorts Nov 13 23:05:12 I'm made of stronger stuff... I've seen -actual- monsters Nov 13 23:06:04 Oh? What monsters? Nov 13 23:07:03 Saw the Schattenmann once Nov 13 23:07:39 * Molly looks curious Nov 13 23:07:45 What was it like? Nov 13 23:08:17 Big, scary Nov 13 23:08:40 * Molly watches him "are you scared of many things?" Nov 13 23:09:14 * Morgan smiles Nov 13 23:09:31 Not especially, no... but that sounds like bravado, or ego Nov 13 23:09:41 * Molly shakes her head Nov 13 23:09:58 It sounds like confidence. Are you scared of me? Nov 13 23:11:01 Why on Theah would I be? Nov 13 23:11:24 Because you were worried how you'd feel when you leave here Nov 13 23:12:22 I know how I'll feel... I'm not -scared- of it, much as I dread it Nov 13 23:13:09 * Molly nods. She is about to read on when the door opens, and the older Doctor Rosenkrantz, her Grandfather, comes in. "My girl, I thought you'd be in bed already" Nov 13 23:13:42 No Grandfather, I am reading one of your books to Morgan. Nov 13 23:13:42 *he smiles, setting down a small bottle and dropper* Those old things? *he looks to Morgan* Are you enjoying it? Nov 13 23:14:04 Seem a little hard to believe really Nov 13 23:15:15 M: We're reading about the Ashkoven. *He smiles again, a hand on her crown* Horrible, aren't they? Real though, Lieutenant. Nov 13 23:16:09 * Morgan looks at him skeptically Nov 13 23:16:16 Come on, pull the other one Nov 13 23:16:29 DR smiles: Some years later I was in that direction, and I found a mass grave and gallows made of the Schwarzenwald wood… Nov 13 23:17:25 Sounds like -thats- important... no-one uses that wood. Nov 13 23:17:39 DR: Indeed. Did you know, if you burn the Schwarzenwald wood it burns dark red? *he strokes Molly's hair in a way Morgan's arms being bound prevents him from being able to do* Like this beautiful hair. Nov 13 23:18:07 * Morgan nods Nov 13 23:18:37 I'm from Sudlachenburg... the Schwarzenwald is on my doorstep... I got lost in it once, ended up having to camp after I hurt my ankle Nov 13 23:19:15 *Doctor Rosenkrantz nods* I stayed in a house there as a very young man Nov 13 23:19:41 Oh? Nov 13 23:20:06 I was planning to write about the Schattenmann, but other matters caught my attention Nov 13 23:20:12 DR* Nov 13 23:20:28 * Morgan nods slightly Nov 13 23:21:09 DR: As to the wood... When I burned it, the Ashkoven came. They watched it burn, and then they left, going out into the woods. To the best of my knowledge, they have not been spotted in the forty years since. Nov 13 23:21:42 You saw the Ashkoven? You appear to still have your eyes Nov 13 23:22:36 DR: I have a great deal of luck. They were more interested in the gallows burning Nov 13 23:23:14 I wonder why Nov 13 23:23:39 DR: I have never worked that out Nov 13 23:23:56 * Morgan nods, looking thoughtful Nov 13 23:24:08 So... you never got to see the Schattenmann... Nov 13 23:24:31 DR: No, I did, I just didn't write about it Nov 13 23:25:29 I'd be interested in hearing your views on it... sometime when I'm not in so much pain, perhaps Nov 13 23:25:58 *he nods, then he looks to Molly* When you have finished reading, administer three drops. Don't stay up too late. I've locked up and all the other wards are lights out. Just our one patient here still awake *she responds with "yes, grandfather, goodnight* Nov 13 23:26:34 **He inclines his head to Morgan* Goodnight, Lieutenant Nov 13 23:27:04 * Morgan nods Nov 13 23:27:05 doctor Nov 13 23:27:16 **The doctor leaves them alone, shutting the door as he goes. She smiles** Would you like me to continue, or do you wish to sleep? Nov 13 23:27:44 Go on... I like listening to your voice Nov 13 23:27:54 * Molly smiles, blushing Nov 13 23:27:57 You do? Nov 13 23:28:21 * Morgan nods Nov 13 23:28:30 Like everything else about you, it appeals to me Nov 13 23:28:36 * Morgan shifts uncomfortably Nov 13 23:29:14 That's very sweet of you. Do you need your pillows adjusting? Nov 13 23:30:03 Please, though I'mnot sure it'll help Nov 13 23:30:15 Up or down? Nov 13 23:30:21 up Nov 13 23:31:35 * Molly moves nearer, careful of his arms, and props him up more. She's close enough that he can smell her perfume and the fresh sea breeze again Nov 13 23:32:58 * Morgan thanks her as he tries to get comfortable Nov 13 23:33:39 Is that any better? Nov 13 23:33:55 * Morgan nods Nov 13 23:33:57 A bit Nov 13 23:34:19 **She sits back where she was, and she moves on to reading about rumours of changelings, but it's not as interesting. As she does so she strokes idly down his flank over the sheets, the same place she was caressing him when she made him spend earlier** Nov 13 23:35:38 * Morgan lays his head back, sighing Nov 13 23:36:13 Is that relaxing? Does it help with the pain? Nov 13 23:36:22 * Morgan nods Nov 13 23:37:22 * Molly continues, a little firmer this time, stroking and gently grasping. She keeps reading too Nov 13 23:38:15 * Morgan squirms under her touch Nov 13 23:38:31 Is that tickling? Nov 13 23:38:39 Not at all Nov 13 23:38:48 Painful? Nov 13 23:40:38 Quite the opposite Nov 13 23:40:55 * Molly smiles "pleasant?" Nov 13 23:41:28 * Morgan nods Nov 13 23:42:08 ACTION nods. She moves her hand down a little, and her thumb inwards, stroking in an arch over his hip bone. She continues reading even still* Nov 13 23:42:09 * Received a CTCP from Molly (to #7thsea) Nov 13 23:44:16 * Morgan shifts his hips under her hand Nov 13 23:44:31 Also pleasant? Nov 13 23:44:36 very Nov 13 23:44:49 * Molly assesses his arousal Nov 13 23:44:58 * Morgan is clearly aroused Nov 13 23:45:49 *her thumb moves in further, up the side of his manhood, whilst watching his expression* Nov 13 23:46:18 * Morgan still has his eyes closed, a faint smile on his lips Nov 13 23:47:03 Do you need some more help tonight, to help you sleep? Nov 13 23:47:13 I think that might help... Nov 13 23:47:31 * Molly nods Nov 13 23:47:42 Are you finished with my reading to you? Nov 13 23:48:27 I find I am struggling to concentrate on what you're saying... Nov 13 23:48:58 Oh? Why? *she strokes up the side of him again* Nov 13 23:49:31 Your actions there are rather distracting Nov 13 23:49:42 * Molly smiles a little Nov 13 23:49:56 I could stop if you'd prefer to listen... Nov 13 23:50:33 I think my concentration is rather shot now Nov 13 23:51:05 * Molly stands, putting the book on the table beside the bed, then she carefully leans down to brush her lips tentatively to his Nov 13 23:52:21 * Morgan makes a sound of surprise and pleasure Nov 13 23:52:46 * Molly gently pulls away "I am not being a very good nurse..." Nov 13 23:53:23 I have no complaints Nov 13 23:53:46 * Molly nods, smiling a little "I'll get the towel now?" Nov 13 23:54:10 if... thats alright... Nov 13 23:54:16 * Molly nods Nov 13 23:54:21 Of course it is Nov 13 23:55:18 * Molly gets it, then sits back down next to him, watching him Nov 13 23:55:39 You would like it just like before? Nov 13 23:55:54 ummm... I think so... there's another way? Nov 13 23:56:48 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 13 23:58:37 * Molly (~androirc@Galaxy-S8.lan) has joined Nov 13 23:58:44 (Test) Nov 13 23:58:58 * Molly nods Nov 13 23:58:58 Of course it is Nov 13 23:58:58 * Molly gets it, then sits back down next to him, watching him Nov 13 23:58:58 You would like it just like before? Nov 13 23:58:58 ummm... I think so... there's another way? Nov 13 23:59:20 With the covers up
