**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Nov 20 00:00:44 2022 Nov 20 00:00:44 * Morgan starts to look scared Nov 20 00:00:55 I'm never going to sail again Nov 20 00:01:39 There is a good chance you will not be able to crew again. I'm sorry. Nov 20 00:02:06 * Morgan 's face goes blank and he nods slowly Nov 20 00:02:54 Alright. Thank you doctor. Nov 20 00:05:53 I will be back in an hour to check. Do you want more whiskey? Nov 20 00:06:35 I think I will forego it for now, thank you Nov 20 00:07:00 * Leopold nods. He and the younger doctor go out quietly, leaving him alone Nov 20 00:07:18 * Morgan hangs his head, crying quietly Nov 20 00:08:16 *the time passes. Exactly half an hour after she left, Molly returns with breakfast* Nov 20 00:08:20 * Leopold is now known as Molly Nov 20 00:08:43 * Morgan does look up Nov 20 00:09:08 * Molly speaks softly Nov 20 00:09:17 Which first, food or whiskey? Nov 20 00:09:24 Neither, thank you Nov 20 00:09:36 * Molly sets the tray down Nov 20 00:09:43 Would you like me to stay? Nov 20 00:09:50 * Morgan nods numbly Nov 20 00:11:07 * Molly sits on his left side where his arm is strapped back up but his fingers are freer. She places a gentle hand on his stomach Nov 20 00:11:14 Do you want to talk? Nov 20 00:11:27 * Morgan sighs Nov 20 00:12:16 Left arm hasn't healed like they expected... right arm... can hardly lift it, keeps going numb. Probably never going to crew again... Nov 20 00:12:51 * Molly nods "it would be difficult, wouldn't it?" Nov 20 00:13:20 Impossible. Its... its what I am... Nov 20 00:14:04 You are also a bright, engaging, humorous, lovely young man Nov 20 00:14:52 Who can't sail anymore Nov 20 00:15:25 I'm sorry, this is hard for you Nov 20 00:15:49 * Morgan nods Nov 20 00:16:03 Would you wipe my face? Nov 20 00:17:01 * Molly nods, taking a hanky from in the front of her dress, gently wiping his face. It smells strong of her skin Nov 20 00:17:46 * Morgan thanks her Nov 20 00:18:31 * Molly keeps it in her hand Nov 20 00:18:50 Was it dreadfully painful? Nov 20 00:18:58 * Morgan nods Nov 20 00:19:08 But thats not important Nov 20 00:19:41 * Molly nods "this will take a lot of getting used to?" Nov 20 00:20:15 I... don't know I'll ever be able to accept it Nov 20 00:20:48 You have responsibilities in your hometown as Veisgraf though? Nov 20 00:21:05 * Morgan nods Nov 20 00:21:17 Not that they'd want someone crippled running anything... Nov 20 00:22:19 That's rather a harsh way to think of yourself Nov 20 00:22:48 I am not able to do the very thing that defines me... I'd say its accurate Nov 20 00:23:45 * Molly rubs his stomach gently Nov 20 00:23:51 It will get easier Nov 20 00:25:43 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 20 00:31:13 * Molly has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Nov 20 17:34:08 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Nov 20 18:41:41 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 20 18:45:41 I... don't know I'll ever be able to accept it Nov 20 18:45:41 You have responsibilities in your hometown as Veisgraf though? Nov 20 18:45:41 * Morgan nods Nov 20 18:45:41 Not that they'd want someone crippled running anything... Nov 20 18:45:41 That's rather a harsh way to think of yourself Nov 20 18:45:44 I am not able to do the very thing that defines me... I'd say its accurate Nov 20 18:45:46 * Molly rubs his stomach gently Nov 20 18:45:48 It will get easier Nov 20 18:46:35 * Morgan shrugs, disconsolate Nov 20 18:49:23 They've left your left hand less covered, is the pain less there? Nov 20 18:50:18 They want to give it time to see if it's the position that's causing the numbness but... its very unlikely Nov 20 18:52:31 * MollyK points to the strapped arm where his hand is supported by uncovered "this side..." Nov 20 18:54:02 I can move my fingers but its still awfully painful Nov 20 18:56:41 May I...? Nov 20 18:59:58 * Morgan nods Nov 20 19:00:55 * MollyK very very gently strokes his hand with her fingertips. When it is supported like this, there's no pain Nov 20 19:01:33 * Morgan sighs Nov 20 19:01:40 I'd like some whiskey please Nov 20 19:02:58 Sorry, that's hurting you? *she takes her fingers away* Nov 20 19:03:11 No, not at all... just... I feel hopeless Nov 20 19:03:52 * MollyK nods, pouring the whiskey "it's always tough in these situations" Nov 20 19:06:01 I don't know what I'll do... being a sailor is more than what I do... its who I -am- Nov 20 19:06:15 * Morgan flexes his fingers Nov 20 19:06:18 Who I was Nov 20 19:06:40 * MollyK gently brings the glass to his lips Nov 20 19:07:23 You are more than that... much more Nov 20 19:07:46 * Morgan shrugs, wincing Nov 20 19:08:37 * MollyK helps him drink it before sitting back down Nov 20 19:09:00 Do you wish me to stay when they come back? Nov 20 19:09:51 I don't know... Its undignified for me to be so scared in front of you Nov 20 19:10:10 * MollyK smiles Nov 20 19:10:29 I'd wager I know you far better than anyone else does... Nov 20 19:10:48 * Morgan blushes, nodding Nov 20 19:11:56 * MollyK puts her hand to his, this time so her skin is beneath his fingertips Nov 20 19:13:43 I'll stay, if you want me Nov 20 19:14:10 If the doctor will allow it. I was excruciatingly painful Nov 20 19:15:03 * MollyK nods "afterwards, perhaps you should have milk of the poppy and sleep a while" Nov 20 19:16:19 * Morgan nods Nov 20 19:16:23 Might be an idea Nov 20 19:19:26 * MollyK nods. She sits with him a while before the doctors return. They look serious Nov 20 19:19:42 * MollyK is now known as Leopold Nov 20 19:21:16 Molly, would you like to get some coffee for us? Nov 20 19:21:32 I... would rather she stays if possible Nov 20 19:21:59 * Leopold looks a little surprised but nods Nov 20 19:23:20 Let's have a look then *He gently lifts Morgan's arm. It's quite painful. She gently holds the fingers of his left hand, which is not* Nov 20 19:24:03 * Morgan frowns, trying to endure the pain Nov 20 19:26:13 * Leopold tries lifting more, but it gets worse. When he's asked to hold his own arm up, it's very difficult. He's then asked to hold things whilst the doctor supports his arm. He can manage a quill, is wobbly and pained by a cup, but the sheathed dagger just clatters to the floor Nov 20 19:26:42 * Morgan looks to the doctor, looking absolutely devastated Nov 20 19:27:06 * Leopold gently rests his arm back down before pulling a chair up Nov 20 19:27:37 Over time, the pain should lessen, and with exercise your strength will improve... Nov 20 19:28:31 But my arm is useless. I'm never going to sail again. Nov 20 19:29:55 No. I'm very sorry. It will be impossible for you to serve now. Nov 20 19:30:49 But... its who I -am- Nov 20 19:33:26 * Leopold nods solemnly "It will be an adjustment. I will write on ahead to your family so they have a few days to prepare for your arrival, and I will complete your medical discharge papers for the navy" Nov 20 19:34:02 My left arm... it should be better than it is by now... Nov 20 19:34:13 * Leopold nods Nov 20 19:34:53 It is slow, but in time I think you will regain most use. Are you ambidextrous? Nov 20 19:35:27 In most things. Bloody have to be now Nov 20 19:36:15 * Leopold nods "Is there anything you want me to say to your Father?" Nov 20 19:36:50 Best warn him I'll be utterly useless Nov 20 19:39:08 They will want some staff dedicated to you, but for doing the day-to- day things of caring for yourself, that will soon come Nov 20 19:39:26 * Morgan scowls Nov 20 19:39:38 So I will be a failed sailor -and- a burden. Fantastic. Nov 20 19:41:57 * Leopold looks at him "I've taken the limbs off men with similar injuries. You've been more fortunate than many" Nov 20 19:44:29 * Morgan looks back at him, challengingly Nov 20 19:45:06 They do not have the dead weight and, frankly, I doubt you understand quite what its like to have your very identity -ripped- from you. Nov 20 19:47:14 Your arms will not be a dead weight. You will do your exercises. You will be unable to do certain things, but you can live a fairly normal life. You can return home and work for the good of your people. Marry, have children. Nov 20 19:47:58 * Morgan scowls, muttering quietly 'like she would want me now' Nov 20 19:50:48 * Leopold straps his arm back up, then stands up "Molly, you can administer two drops of milk of the poppy if it is required" Nov 20 19:51:00 M: Yes, grandfather. Nov 20 19:51:33 How long? Until my arms aren't just... useless. Nov 20 19:52:53 We will start the exercises this afternoon. It will be painful, but I would expect to see you able to perform light tasks within the week. Certainly enough that you can travel with a companion back to Sudlachenburg Nov 20 19:53:29 * Morgan frowns Nov 20 19:53:33 Will I be able to ride? Nov 20 19:55:30 In a few weeks, yes, on an obedient horse. You will go home by ship and carriage Nov 20 19:56:30 * Morgan suddenly looks completely heartbroken Nov 20 19:58:27 * Leopold looks to Molly "ring for us if you need us" Nov 20 19:58:44 * Leopold is now known as Molly Nov 20 20:00:08 * Molly nods, watching the doctors go. Then she moves to stand beside him so she can kiss his crown, her body close, the best she can manage when hugging him is impossible "I'm so sorry" Nov 20 20:01:31 I... I've got this horse... he's loyal and fast but... he's not obedient. He won't get any exercise if I can't ride Nov 20 20:02:06 Maybe he will become more obedient. Animals can be very empathetic Nov 20 20:02:16 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 20 20:02:37 Not him. He's entirely singular. Nov 20 20:02:57 * Molly strokes his hair Nov 20 20:03:08 There will be a solution, I'm sure Nov 20 20:04:54 * Morgan tries to breath slowly but its interspersed with silent sobs Nov 20 20:05:42 * Molly carefully moves closer so he can put his head on her chest Nov 20 20:05:52 It's natural to be upset Nov 20 20:06:08 * Morgan sobs quietly against her for a few minutes before he speaks again Nov 20 20:06:22 Who am I going to find to take me home? Nov 20 20:06:46 My family have plenty of staff who will do so... Nov 20 20:07:22 Great. Relying on some stranger to help me eat. Nov 20 20:08:14 I... I could ask if they will let me go? Nov 20 20:09:32 I could not ask that of you Nov 20 20:10:04 The chance to travel further afield? That would be no hardship Nov 20 20:10:45 Putting up with me when I'm... -useless- Nov 20 20:12:04 * Molly strokes his hair more, sounding distracted "Isn't that what we do when we love someone?" Nov 20 20:12:29 What? Nov 20 20:14:00 Hmm? Sorry, I was just thinking out loud Nov 20 20:14:58 * Morgan sighs Nov 20 20:15:09 Who is it you love? Nov 20 20:15:51 Before I answer that... you mentioned a girl who wouldn't want to marry you now... Nov 20 20:16:47 * Morgan sighs heavily Nov 20 20:16:59 Yes, well... why would you be interested now Nov 20 20:17:26 Because... I think I might be in love with you Nov 20 20:18:11 That... what? Nov 20 20:18:38 I rather think you heard me. I did not say it quietly Nov 20 20:19:03 That... was before, though Nov 20 20:19:20 * Molly shakes her head Nov 20 20:19:26 No Nov 20 20:22:36 * Morgan closes his eyes Nov 20 20:23:01 I won't blame you, if your liking for me goes away... Nov 20 20:25:02 * Molly moves enough to gently kiss his lips "it's not going to go away" Nov 20 20:26:21 You are sure? Nov 20 20:26:56 Yes Nov 20 20:28:02 Do you think they... hell, I've been in love with you for a while now. Nov 20 20:28:35 * Molly watches him, smiling Nov 20 20:28:39 Are you sure? Nov 20 20:29:17 * Morgan nods Nov 20 20:29:18 Yes Nov 20 20:29:39 * Molly nods Nov 20 20:29:46 What do we do now? Nov 20 20:32:59 I don't.... I don't know. I suppose we need to find out if you can accompany me... and if your parents would object... Nov 20 20:34:54 My parents died when I was little. My Grandfather is my guardian Nov 20 20:36:14 * Morgan sighs Nov 20 20:36:29 Perhaps being mouthy wasn't the best idea then Nov 20 20:37:14 * Molly smiles Nov 20 20:37:44 I'm sure he will understand. I think he'd let me stay a few weeks. Nov 20 20:38:49 You would want to? Nov 20 20:39:06 * Molly nods Nov 20 20:39:24 I'd like to help you with your arms Nov 20 20:39:56 Thats not the only reason though... Nov 20 20:40:33 No, it's not Nov 20 20:41:05 * Morgan nods Nov 20 20:41:14 I would very much like you to come with me Nov 20 20:41:22 * Molly nods Nov 20 20:41:31 I'm not ready to say goodbye Nov 20 20:43:15 * Morgan nods Nov 20 20:43:25 I think I've been fairly vocal about that already Nov 20 20:43:39 * Molly nods Nov 20 20:44:07 Besides, I'm not sure anyone on my family's staff could help you as I can Nov 20 20:44:43 Wouldn't want them to Nov 20 20:45:52 It sounds like you will be able to manage that yourself in a week or so Nov 20 20:46:02 * Morgan shrugs, wincing Nov 20 20:46:25 Dammit. I'm not sure I want to take over, as it were Nov 20 20:47:00 You never want to touch yourself again? *she smiles* Nov 20 20:47:19 I'd rather you do it... Nov 20 20:47:31 Forever? Nov 20 20:48:15 Uhhh... ideally... Nov 20 20:49:13 Is this... are you asking me to be your mistress? Nov 20 20:49:58 Oh, ummm... I suppose I am but... my family don't believe in that Nov 20 20:51:43 * Molly nods Nov 20 20:52:15 I'm still a noble girl too. It'd be frowned upon Nov 20 20:53:11 * Morgan nods Nov 20 20:54:42 That's rather a bind Nov 20 20:55:21 * Morgan nods Nov 20 20:55:29 yes Nov 20 20:56:06 * Molly chews her lip Nov 20 20:56:25 I suppose they already have a match in mind for you? Nov 20 20:56:47 * Morgan starts to shrug but manages to stop himself Nov 20 20:57:08 Nothing has been arranged to my knowledge... Nov 20 20:58:01 Would you... might you consider it? Nov 20 20:58:24 Would you? Nov 20 20:59:42 * Molly nods "I think I would" Nov 20 21:00:13 Consider it? Nov 20 21:01:02 * Molly smiles shyly "marry you. If you asked. If you wanted me" Nov 20 21:01:23 I already said forever... Nov 20 21:02:19 I thought you meant you wanted me to give you relief that way forever... not necessarily to marry me forever Nov 20 21:03:41 * Morgan smiles slightly Nov 20 21:04:33 Well... it'd amount to the same thing... Nov 20 21:05:00 * Molly nods Nov 20 21:05:06 I'd like that Nov 20 21:05:19 To... marry? Nov 20 21:07:59 Yes. And to keep giving you relief forever *she smiles* Nov 20 21:09:12 * Morgan nods Nov 20 21:09:22 I suppose I should apologise to your grandfather Nov 20 21:10:12 He'll understand. You're in pain and you've lost something very important Nov 20 21:10:24 * Morgan nods Nov 20 21:11:40 * Molly smiles gently Nov 20 21:11:53 Maybe you'll gain a new purpose? Nov 20 21:12:45 I hope so... Nov 20 21:13:41 * Molly nods, kissing him gently before moving away a little too far again Nov 20 21:15:24 * Morgan watches her before shifting uncomfortably Nov 20 21:15:51 Would you like the milk of the poppy now? Nov 20 21:16:00 I think so Nov 20 21:18:17 * Molly nods, getting up to get it, then she sits close "tongue out..." Nov 20 21:18:26 * Morgan does so Nov 20 21:18:56 * Molly moves in, still careful, and gently sucks his tongue Nov 20 21:19:34 * Morgan looks very surprised Nov 20 21:20:31 * Molly giggles "That really is unprofessional" Nov 20 21:21:05 Ummm... probably... I think I'd complain if it were anyone else Nov 20 21:22:04 * Molly smiles, getting the dropper ready "You'll sleep a little while..." Nov 20 21:22:55 * Morgan nods, putting his tongue out again Nov 20 21:24:05 * Molly smiles, carefully putting two drops on Nov 20 21:24:27 * Morgan swallows it, pulling a face Nov 20 21:25:50 * Molly kisses his forehead "rest now... I'll be here when you wake" Nov 20 21:26:39 * Morgan nods, trying to get comfortable Nov 20 21:27:56 * Molly very gently puts her fingertips to his on his left hand so he can touch hers Nov 20 21:28:44 * Morgan curls his fingers to hers Nov 20 21:29:53 * Molly watches him fondly Nov 20 21:31:09 My father is going to be very disappointed Nov 20 21:31:37 I'm sorry, they probably wanted a Graf's daughter or similar? Nov 20 21:32:44 No, no... in me. He was a sailor... I love the sea, my father used to say I don't have blood in my veins but salt water... Nov 20 21:34:15 You can still go to sea, it'll just be a little different Nov 20 21:35:27 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 20 21:36:47 I can stand there and be a passenger... thats not enough Nov 20 21:37:36 * Molly nods sadly "I know..." Nov 20 21:38:40 * Morgan sighs, closing his eyes Nov 20 21:40:23 * Molly strokes his arm. It should hurt, but it doesn't. His eyes are still closed. She says "liebes herz, I think they want you to take the watch now" Nov 20 21:41:13 * Morgan opens his eyes Nov 20 21:42:43 *it's dark. There's another tap at the door* Nov 20 21:43:04 * Morgan rolls off the bed Nov 20 21:43:08 Be there in a second Nov 20 21:43:26 *she says quietly* Mmm I suppose when one beds a Captain she must expect to not have hims the whole night... Nov 20 21:43:52 * Morgan nods, pulling his clothes on Nov 20 21:44:02 I'll see you in a few hours love Nov 20 21:44:52 I'll be here Nov 20 21:45:13 * Morgan nods, grabbing his sword belt and heading out of the cabin Nov 20 21:45:42 *the crewman tells him all has been quiet* Nov 20 21:46:55 * Morgan nods, thanking him and heading for coffee before going up on deck Nov 20 21:48:40 *it's nice being able to carry a cup easily, arms not weak or painful Nov 20 21:49:28 * Morgan wanders the deck, drinking his coffee Nov 20 21:53:56 *it's completely peaceful, stars in a different position than when he went to sleep. About twenty minutes later he hears quiet footsteps Nov 20 21:54:30 * Morgan looks round Nov 20 21:56:23 * Molly is wrapped in her shawl Nov 20 21:56:44 I missed you, I thought I'd keep you company Nov 20 21:58:22 Its cold out here blossom, you should be warm in bed Nov 20 21:58:46 Will I be a distraction? Nov 20 22:00:16 I'll manage Nov 20 22:00:21 * Morgan looks up at the stars Nov 20 22:00:46 Beautiful Nov 20 22:02:16 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Nov 20 22:02:22 Aye, it is Nov 20 22:03:11 Did you sleep? Nov 20 22:04:55 Some, yes Nov 20 22:06:20 * Molly nods, coming to stand close beside him Nov 20 22:06:29 Soundly? Nov 20 22:06:39 dreams Nov 20 22:07:43 Something nice? Nov 20 22:08:54 Hospital in Insel. Left arm wasn't healing as fast as they expected... right arm... *he sighs heavily* I was never going to sail again, I couldn't even hold a dagger Nov 20 22:09:50 That sounds dreadful! Nov 20 22:10:47 * Morgan nods Nov 20 22:11:14 Even with time I'd never be able to crew... and I could ride... but only an obedient horse... Nov 20 22:12:00 Oh dear Nov 20 22:12:30 * Morgan nods Nov 20 22:13:59 You admitted your love for me... Nov 20 22:15:14 Oh, that made it slightly better then Nov 20 22:16:21 * Morgan nods Nov 20 22:19:25 I didn't need to help you at all? Nov 20 22:20:22 I went to sleep in the dream then you woke me for my watch... I'm still feeling pretty awful Nov 20 22:21:16 Do you need some magic? Nov 20 22:21:36 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 20 22:21:55 No... it feels like a sort of grief, but physically... I'm alright Nov 20 22:25:29 Could I hold you a moment at least? Nov 20 22:26:04 * Morgan nods Nov 20 22:26:06 Aye love Nov 20 22:27:27 * Molly wraps her arms around him Nov 20 22:27:55 * Morgan puts an arm around her, holding her to him Nov 20 22:30:17 * Molly stays like this for quite a while. Soon he notices he's actually holding her weight Nov 20 22:30:37 * Morgan shakes her gently Nov 20 22:31:54 Molly... Nov 20 22:32:35 Oh, sorry! Nov 20 22:32:45 * Molly snuggles into him a little more Nov 20 22:33:27 I think you should go back to bed Nov 20 22:34:18 Mmm alright, my love Nov 20 22:35:26 * Morgan kisses the top of her head before letting her go Nov 20 22:37:08 You'll be alright?
