**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Dec 7 00:00:12 2022 Dec 07 00:00:12 * Morgan nods Dec 07 00:00:28 Lessons would be simple... just shouting at them for half an hour to stop being so selfish Dec 07 00:01:54 Some of them don't know that's how it's supposed to be. Heinzharold told me he knew someone in the navy who thought his wife couldn't climax, but it turned out she was just really quiet with it Dec 07 00:02:58 Then he needs to become more acquainted with her body... it'll tell you before it happens Dec 07 00:03:12 * Inga looks intrigued Dec 07 00:03:17 Will it? How? Dec 07 00:04:10 Ask HeinzHarold but... I'd bet that before you reach climax, you take two, maybe three deep breaths, quite quickly Dec 07 00:04:45 I'll ask him, I'm normally a bit too busy to pay attention! Dec 07 00:04:52 * Morgan nods Dec 07 00:05:20 Rightly so Dec 07 00:05:41 * Inga smiles, sipping her coffee Dec 07 00:05:53 You're really not much like I assumed Dec 07 00:06:20 It was probably a fair assumption years ago... Dec 07 00:07:47 * Inga shakes her head Dec 07 00:09:10 No, I just assumed you were a bit "nightdresses up, two or three minutes of quiet missionary position, and Goodnight my dear" *she smiles* Dec 07 00:10:03 * Morgan nods Dec 07 00:10:18 Yeah... bit wrong... Dec 07 00:10:33 I thought you were probably like that last time too Dec 07 00:11:01 Less adventurous but... never like that Dec 07 00:11:34 It'd be hard to be more adventurous than you and Molly are! Dec 07 00:11:40 * Morgan nods Dec 07 00:11:50 Definitely... Dec 07 00:12:48 * Inga smiles Dec 07 00:12:57 That won't stop you trying? Dec 07 00:14:09 Unlikely... though not for a few weeks... Dec 07 00:14:18 Why? Dec 07 00:15:10 Basically an enclosed space for the next fourteen weeks... and the consequences in Capperlucia could be catastrophic for our task there... Dec 07 00:15:42 * Inga nods Dec 07 00:16:16 If you need any help, Heinzharold and I can take Varick, or divert the others Dec 07 00:16:24 * Morgan nods Dec 07 00:16:35 Thank you... may well take you up on that Dec 07 00:16:45 * Inga nods Dec 07 00:17:16 It seems like that's what makes your relationship really strong, and we want you two to be happy together Dec 07 00:17:32 [is everything well, you've been gone a while] Dec 07 00:17:33 * Morgan nods Dec 07 00:17:46 [absolutely fine my love] Dec 07 00:18:05 It helps... we're alright, really Dec 07 00:18:38 You're both intense and passionate people. There's bound to be fireworks Dec 07 00:18:52 * Morgan nods Dec 07 00:19:24 She was considering something that hurt me a great deal... then she said something that made me incredibly angry... but we're past it, I promise Dec 07 00:20:48 * Inga nods "Good. I want you to be okay so you can make babies. Maybe our babies will marry one day, Heinzharold has enough status now" Dec 07 00:23:03 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Dec 07 00:24:16 * Inga has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 07 09:49:34 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Dec 07 12:15:31 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Dec 07 14:16:04 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Dec 07 14:51:13 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Dec 07 14:51:20 * MollyK is now known as Inga Dec 07 14:52:13 [00:07:38] • ​Inga​ nods "Good. I want you to be okay so you can make babies. Maybe our babies will marry one day, Heinzharold has enough status now" Dec 07 14:52:53 That'd be nice... I'd like it if our families were always linked Dec 07 14:53:03 * Inga nods Dec 07 14:53:45 We would too. And how cute if you could both be grandfathers to the same children Dec 07 14:54:25 * Morgan nods Dec 07 14:54:29 That would be wonderful Dec 07 14:54:42 * Inga drinks more coffee Dec 07 14:55:04 Were you really going to make Molly go alone? Dec 07 14:55:45 It wasn't about making her go alone... she hurt me, so very badly. Dec 07 14:56:26 But you would have let her? Dec 07 14:56:57 I don't know. The very idea of being away from her is agonising but... *he sighs* Dec 07 14:58:28 But being with her was agonising too? Dec 07 14:58:59 It was. I felt her reasoning... unreasonable Dec 07 14:59:19 * Inga nods Dec 07 15:00:07 Imagine if you'd changed your mind after a week and you'd have to wait thirteen more to see her! Dec 07 15:00:15 * Morgan nods Dec 07 15:00:16 aye Dec 07 15:00:41 The Rose is so fast you couldn't catch her Dec 07 15:01:01 * Morgan nods Dec 07 15:01:05 No way in hell Dec 07 15:02:22 What would happen with the sparkliness then? Dec 07 15:02:31 * Morgan shrugs Dec 07 15:02:42 She'd need to stay locked away from anyone for twenty four hours Dec 07 15:05:15 It's really bad, isn't it? Dec 07 15:05:24 What? Dec 07 15:05:43 That sparkly thing and how it affects men Dec 07 15:06:09 * Morgan nods Dec 07 15:06:17 Its... less than ideal Dec 07 15:06:38 I don't really like it Dec 07 15:06:45 * Inga watches Morgan Dec 07 15:06:46 * Morgan nods Dec 07 15:06:53 Its not fair Dec 07 15:07:01 No, it isn't Dec 07 15:08:53 There is little I can do about that I'm afraid Dec 07 15:09:44 Apart from trying to start it and get it over with like the last two times Dec 07 15:10:14 * Morgan nods Dec 07 15:14:17 We, more or less, know when it is likely now Dec 07 15:15:16 * Inga nods Dec 07 15:15:47 It will be in a few days again. Molly said that's when she's most likely to become pregnant Dec 07 15:16:15 * Morgan nods Dec 07 15:16:18 Aye, I know Dec 07 15:18:33 Do you think you'll try to start it again? Dec 07 15:18:48 Are you asking me to? Dec 07 15:19:58 I'd appreciate it, but only if it's not a bother Dec 07 15:20:37 I'll talk to Molly about it Dec 07 15:21:22 It's really difficult knowing he's attracted to her, even if it's only the magic Dec 07 15:22:18 * Morgan looks at her, clearly saddened Dec 07 15:22:47 I know. Dec 07 15:24:37 It hurts you too? Dec 07 15:24:59 * Morgan nods Dec 07 15:26:11 But knowing it isn't a choice they make, or even a real attraction... what can I do? I can't warn them off... they don't even know what's happening.. as for HeinzHarold, I feel -intensely- guilty about it Dec 07 15:27:12 * Inga nods Dec 07 15:27:50 It's not your fault. It's no one's fault. It's just what she is, and if her grandfather hadn't had that shore wouldn't have been born Dec 07 15:28:22 Are you big picturing me? Dec 07 15:51:40 What does that mean? Dec 07 15:55:38 Getting me to look at the big picture... at how none of us would be where we are if not for that sparkly bullshit... Dec 07 15:56:47 It helps me Dec 07 15:57:15 Does it? Why? Dec 07 16:01:31 Because I love her, she's like a sister. I wouldn't want her to not exist, even if it meant my husband was never going to be drawn to her Dec 07 16:02:02 * Morgan nods, looking down at his cup Dec 07 16:02:25 I'll do what I can to head it off as early as possible Dec 07 16:03:40 Thank you. Heinzharold tells me that it is really good for you both Dec 07 16:03:55 Whats your favourite meal? Dec 07 16:06:16 Ummm... I don't really have one Dec 07 16:06:27 Shame Dec 07 16:07:38 You get used to just eating what youre given in service, and we're going to be eating a lot of fish Dec 07 16:07:51 * Morgan nods Dec 07 16:07:57 Rather ruins the point I was about to make Dec 07 16:11:26 Let's say it's... roast chicken Dec 07 16:12:51 You have it now and then, when the fancy takes you... but then one day a month, you -have- to have it... twice. Every month. Whether you want it or not. And if you don't, everyone else suddenly feels like they're starving and only roast chicken will do, even those you know don't like roast chicken... Dec 07 16:14:53 Right...? Dec 07 16:15:41 You'd start to feel... forced into having roast chicken on that day... Dec 07 16:17:58 That wouldn't be good Dec 07 16:18:52 No... thats kinda what its like... that expectation... yes, we enjoy it, but... last time we tried to trigger it so no-one else had to deal with it, not because we wanted to... Dec 07 16:20:26 But if you do, you might get to have a baby, so that must help? Dec 07 16:20:45 Same as the days before, and the days after... Dec 07 16:24:02 Don't do it on my account. We worked out that if we have sex when it's happening it does really reduce the draw Dec 07 16:24:19 * Morgan smiles slightly Dec 07 16:24:43 I'd do almost anything for you... I just... its not as simple as just having sex at the right time Dec 07 16:25:55 Why? Dec 07 16:26:20 Roast chicken... its that burden of feeling like I -have- to Dec 07 16:26:38 Its something of a character flaw that I rebel against things like that Dec 07 16:27:51 Is that a secret? Dec 07 16:28:21 Which bit? Dec 07 16:29:34 That it's a burden to have sex those times Dec 07 16:30:17 For now... its not even that I don't enjoy it... I just object to feeling like I -have- to Dec 07 16:31:54 * Inga nods Dec 07 16:32:43 Maybe when she gets pregnant that will stop Dec 07 16:33:54 The whole reason it happens is to cause pregnancy so... I hope so Dec 07 16:34:23 * Inga nods Dec 07 16:34:55 And then once she's too old to be fertile anymore it should stop? Oh and when she's nursing Dec 07 16:35:10 I... assume so... Dec 07 16:35:27 That would be helpful Dec 07 16:35:59 * Morgan nods Dec 07 16:36:17 Don't want to be harassing her when she's nursing... she'll have enough of that when she's pregnant Dec 07 16:37:58 * Inga smiles Dec 07 16:38:18 I'm sure she won't mind Dec 07 16:38:40 * Morgan nods Dec 07 16:38:45 We'll see I suppose Dec 07 16:39:41 * Inga nods Dec 07 16:39:56 I didn't think we'd have a baby on board Dec 07 16:40:19 No... it was unexpected. I wasn't sure how Sigfried would react to him Dec 07 16:41:16 He seems fine with it Dec 07 16:41:34 * Morgan nods Dec 07 16:41:37 Aye, thankfully Dec 07 16:43:20 * Inga nods Dec 07 16:43:41 It's nice having a baby to make a fuss of though Dec 07 16:45:14 * Morgan nods Dec 07 16:45:21 He's a cute little lad... I like babies Dec 07 16:45:57 * Inga nods Dec 07 16:46:20 I think we'll all be really attached to him by the time we come home Dec 07 16:46:28 * Morgan nods Dec 07 16:46:51 Probably. At least, though, it'll be your only trip, then you can start getting things ready for when yours come along Dec 07 16:48:09 Are you angry about it? Dec 07 16:48:57 God no... I totally understand. I'm sad I'll be without HeinzHarold and you but I do understand Dec 07 16:51:32 * Inga nods Dec 07 16:51:47 I hope you will have to stay with us too Dec 07 16:52:41 * Morgan nods Dec 07 16:53:21 So do I... all we can do is wait and see... though I will miss sailing. Molly says she doesn't want me to stop taking the opportunity to sail but it'd mean being away from her, our children Dec 07 16:55:08 Heinzharold will look after them for you Dec 07 16:55:32 I don't doubt it. My nightmares are worse when I'm not with her Dec 07 16:56:32 Maybe you could both go? Dec 07 16:57:05 No, I'm not having her leave the children behind. I'll make do somehow. Dec 07 16:59:10 Maybe she will want to? She won't just be a Mama, she'll still be Molly Dec 07 16:59:38 True. We'll have to see. Dec 07 17:00:45 * Inga nods Dec 07 17:01:17 Was there anything else you wanted to talk to me about? Dec 07 17:03:26 No... I hadn't expected to talk as much as we have... though I am glad we have Dec 07 17:05:04 * Inga nods Dec 07 17:05:21 We're the quiet spouses, aren't we? Dec 07 17:06:03 How do you mean? Dec 07 17:08:17 Heinzharold and Molly have big personalities. Most couples have a loud spouse and a quiet spouse Dec 07 17:08:58 And I'm the quiet one... huh... Dec 07 17:11:31 I know it might not seem like it, but when you're in a big group I think it's more obvious. It's not bad Dec 07 17:12:09 Never used to be... I think its one of the things the war changed in me Dec 07 17:12:52 * Inga nods Dec 07 17:13:28 Stew seems like the quiet one because she talks quietly, but she isnt Dec 07 17:13:33 Stef Dec 07 17:13:54 No... no she isn't. I miss her. Dec 07 17:15:40 * Inga nods Dec 07 17:16:11 Me too. I wish they could live with us at Hafenlohr. Mina and Edward too. We'd have fun Dec 07 17:16:37 * Morgan nods Dec 07 17:17:54 Edward and probably Mina will be coming to Hafenlohr when we return... to meet Florrie Dec 07 17:18:53 * Inga nods Dec 07 17:19:03 That will be nice Dec 07 17:20:45 * Morgan nods Dec 07 17:21:01 Stef thinks she won't be able to travel, what with her impending popping Dec 07 17:21:47 * Inga smiles "she's so lucky to have gotten pregnant so quickly " Dec 07 17:22:31 Been a difficult journey for them, they deserve the happiness Dec 07 17:23:53 They do Dec 07 17:25:25 * Morgan finishes his coffee Dec 07 17:25:29 This was nice... Dec 07 17:26:44 * Inga does likewise Dec 07 17:26:47 It was Dec 07 17:28:02 I suppose we'll have plenty of time to do it again Dec 07 17:29:31 Yes Dec 07 17:29:52 * Morgan nods, getting up and collecting the cups and putting them on the tray Dec 07 17:32:03 I'll talk to Heinzharold about what you said Dec 07 17:32:26 * Morgan nods Dec 07 17:32:42 I think once he knows its not that you're getting uncomfortable, he'll be much more at ease about it Dec 07 17:33:31 * Inga nods "he worries too much about me" Dec 07 17:34:19 He just loves you so damn much Dec 07 17:35:48 I love him that much too. He's such a good man Dec 07 17:37:07 * Morgan nods Dec 07 17:37:13 No arguments from me there Dec 07 17:37:53 * Inga opens the door for him Dec 07 17:39:39 * Morgan carries the tray out, thanking her Dec 07 17:42:42 * Inga heads back to Morgan's study Dec 07 17:43:01 * Morgan takes the tray back to the galley Dec 07 19:10:20 * Inga has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 07 20:19:56 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Dec 07 20:20:26 *the galley only contains Cook at present* Dec 07 20:21:09 * Morgan goes in, cleaning the cups as he speaks Dec 07 20:21:13 Good to see you Mr Cook Dec 07 20:23:03 * MollyK is now known as Cook Dec 07 20:25:04 Thank you, my Lord Dec 07 20:26:10 How are you doing? Dec 07 20:26:38 Well, thank you. Do you need something making? Dec 07 20:31:27 * Morgan shakes his head, smiling Dec 07 20:31:40 No, just didn't want to dump dirty crockery at your feet Dec 07 20:33:13 It is my job, my Lord Dec 07 20:35:33 * Morgan shrugs Dec 07 20:35:41 Bit of courtesy and respect never hurts Dec 07 20:45:20 * Cook nods Dec 07 20:46:11 You're welcome to help out on the voyage, if you like. You and her Ladyship Dec 07 20:49:31 * Morgan nods Dec 07 20:49:41 I might come help cook now and then Dec 07 20:50:32 I hope you're a -dab- hand at fish, my Lord *he smiles at the pun* Dec 07 20:53:14 I'm not bad, but I know who's in charge in the kitchen... you could say I know my plaice... Dec 07 20:55:23 * Cook laughs Dec 07 20:55:55 It's a great oppor-tuna-ty to practice Dec 07 20:56:10 * Morgan nods Dec 07 20:56:21 It'll be the -sole- place I get to cook for a while Dec 07 21:00:23 My Dad tried being a fisherman for a while... Dec 07 21:00:49 * Morgan watches him mildly suspiciously Dec 07 21:00:52 Oh? Dec 07 21:05:24 Gave up because his -net- income wasn't enough Dec 07 21:06:33 * Morgan laughs Dec 07 21:06:49 I'm quite glad HeinzHarold wasn't here to hear all that. He'd never let me live it down Dec 07 21:09:15 He'd make you walk the plankton, my Lord Dec 07 21:11:56 * Morgan laughs Dec 07 21:12:28 Oh, thank you mr Cook... you've really brightened my day Dec 07 21:13:03 * Cook smiles Dec 07 21:13:21 Back out to sea, my Lord, hard to be sad on a day like today Dec 07 21:14:17 * Morgan nods Dec 07 21:15:02 Its a tough thing to beat... though two new ships and taking my first tour as Captain just about beats it... Dec 07 21:16:48 That must have been nice Dec 07 21:16:56 * Morgan smiles Dec 07 21:16:59 Boyhood dreams... Dec 07 21:17:46 * Cook nods Dec 07 21:17:56 Mine was to cook for an Eisenfurst Dec 07 21:18:39 * Morgan nods, making fresh coffee Dec 07 21:18:41 You want one? Dec 07 21:19:06 Yes please Dec 07 21:19:34 * Morgan nods, pouring coffee into a cup before putting it near cook, going back to make his own Dec 07 21:19:58 Thank you Dec 07 21:21:00 Going to be a long trip Dec 07 21:22:58 Whole different world out there, they say Dec 07 21:23:50 Dragons, apparently... only three of them though Dec 07 21:24:58 Three is a lot of dragons. It's not a lot of carrots, or bread rolls, but it's a lot of dragons Dec 07 21:25:16 * Morgan nods Dec 07 21:25:23 One was enough for me Dec 07 21:26:28 You've seen a dragon? Dec 07 21:26:52 In Avalon. Mind you, I've seen things you wouldn't believe Dec 07 21:30:05 * Cook nods "lots of weird things in the world, my Lord" Dec 07 21:30:27 Oh yes... absolutely Dec 07 21:32:57 Hopefully we won't find anything out there Dec 07 21:36:10 We're sons of Eisen.. whatever we find, we'll deal with Dec 07 21:38:10 * Cook nods Dec 07 21:38:30 Yes, my lord Dec 07 21:38:58 * Morgan sips his coffee Dec 07 21:39:19 I'm going to go stare at the sea for a while... thank you for the whimsy, Mr Cook Dec 07 21:41:59 Any time, my Lord Dec 07 21:42:36 * Morgan inclines his head, making his way up on deck Dec 07 21:45:28 *everything seems to be going smoothly up there, the sky is clear, air crisp and cold Dec 07 21:46:18 * Morgan wanders to the prow, closing his eyes as he stands there Dec 07 21:50:02 *it feels good and peaceful* Dec 07 21:50:39 * Morgan smiles, opening his eyes, spending ten minutes just revelling in the air and the movement of the ship before going back to find the others Dec 07 21:51:50 *he finds Molly in the study, just her and Amir. She's singing a lullaby to the baby, stood near the window with her back to Morgan Dec 07 21:51:57 * Cook is now known as Molly Dec 07 21:52:28 * Morgan watches her, sipping his coffee Dec 07 21:54:40 * Molly doesn't notice him, still singing and rocking the baby. She seems at ease Dec 07 21:55:07 * Morgan speaks quietly Dec 07 21:55:11 Enjoying yourself? Dec 07 21:57:35 * Molly speaks quietly too, the baby asleep in her arms all tucked in. She smiles "I rather am, actually" Dec 07 21:58:23 * Morgan nods Dec 07 21:59:39 Where is everyone? Dec 07 22:00:14 Playing in the ballroom Dec 07 22:00:40 * Morgan nods, moving to sit behind his desk Dec 07 22:02:58 * Molly keeps rocking the baby Dec 07 22:03:02 Are you well? Dec 07 22:03:13 * Morgan nods Dec 07 22:04:01 Can't shift the feeling I should be doing something... useful... Grafly... but unless the finances for Gottkirchen have appeared in the time we were away, I can't start preparing Dec 07 22:06:13 * Molly shakes her head Dec 07 22:06:36 You can hold the baby if you need something to do? Dec 07 22:07:03 No... I would not stop you enjoying yourself so clearly Dec 07 22:08:32 * Molly smiles, looking at the baby Dec 07 22:08:46 I wanted to get as much practice in as I can so I am ready Dec 07 22:09:14 It won't be the same... its entirely different when its your own Dec 07 22:09:39 Is it? Why? Dec 07 22:10:04 * Morgan shrugs Dec 07 22:12:06 Its just... your whole world has just changed... now you've got this terribly vulnerable little person who relies on you for everything, but you've still got to get things done... don't get me wrong, its wonderful, but its... its hard. Dec 07 22:14:15 It can't be that difficult?! Dec 07 22:15:31 I'll let you in on a secret... I didn't sleep more than thirty minutes a night for the first two weeks... and washing clothes while holding Jana, thats an acquired skill Dec 07 22:15:40 * Morgan smiles, looking at the desk Dec 07 22:15:44 Wriggly little worm Dec 07 22:17:48 * Molly smiles Dec 07 22:18:29 I'm glad you'll have all that learned knowledge from being her father to help with being a father to the next one, my love Dec 07 22:19:33 * Morgan nods Dec 07 22:20:31 Have you seen, in the bottom of our luggage, a piece of fabric, about a foot or so wide and... eight or nine feet long? Dec 07 22:21:07 * Molly shakes her head Dec 07 22:21:18 No, I haven't noticed? Dec 07 22:22:00 Would've been right at the bottom Dec 07 22:23:18 What is it? Dec 07 22:24:24 Just a way to carry a baby Dec 07 22:25:49 Is it a wrapping cloth? Dec 07 22:26:01 * Morgan nods Dec 07 22:26:31 If Zareen agrees, would you show m-... why do you have a wrapping cloth? Dec 07 22:29:57 I got it when Thomas was born... thought I'd show them how to use it but... we got busy, and it never came up. I put it in the bottom of the trunk. Dec 07 22:32:14 * Molly nods Dec 07 22:32:20 That's kind of you Dec 07 22:32:36 * Morgan shrugs Dec 07 22:33:07 I'll show them if they haven't figured it out when we pick them up. It'll mean James can carry Thomas and still be able to do things Dec 07 22:34:22 That would be so helpful Dec 07 22:34:33 * Morgan nods Dec 07 22:34:44 It made things significantly easier with Jana Dec 07 22:35:48 * Molly nods Dec 07 22:36:00 Did you carry her like that often? Dec 07 22:36:10 * Morgan nods Dec 07 22:36:34 Aye. Bit of an odd sensation, having them attached to you like that Dec 07 22:37:19 * Molly looks thoughtful Dec 07 22:37:29 Because of the weight? Dec 07 22:40:03 A little... and the knowledge you had this little life but you can still do things.. hell, if it was necessary, you could fight to defend them... Dec 07 22:40:29 * Molly nods Dec 07 22:40:47 You were closer than many fathers and daughters? Dec 07 22:41:03 I don't know... I can't speak for other fathers Dec 07 22:41:43 Was Heinzharold's father that close with the younger girls? Dec 07 22:43:15 He adored them... he adored all his children Dec 07 22:43:29 * Molly nods Dec 07 22:43:41 You will be like him in that too, I know it Dec 07 22:44:57 * Morgan frowns briefly Dec 07 22:44:59 I hope so Dec 07 22:45:48 * Molly watches him Dec 07 22:46:05 You worry you will not love them so much? Dec 07 22:47:54 A little... Or I did, anyway... now... I worry I will not be able to connect with them as much, that it will be a painful reminder... Dec 07 22:49:30 * Molly nods Dec 07 22:49:46 It will be difficult because they aren't her... Dec 07 22:50:31 A reminder of the loss... that they will never know their sister. Dec 07 22:51:59 They will know her through the stories you tell them and the drawings you show them... but it's not enough, I know Dec 07 22:53:28 * Morgan nods, rubbing absently at his arm Dec 07 22:53:50 I worry how Edward will find dealing with Florrie Dec 07 22:54:21 * Molly watches him Dec 07 22:54:28 It's tough to know Dec 07 22:54:47 * Morgan nods Dec 07 22:55:06 How are we going to explain to her how she needs to not mention or use her magic? Dec 07 22:57:02 I have no idea... it's going to be difficult Dec 07 22:57:34 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee, glancing at his sleeve cuff Dec 07 22:57:49 I know what you're doing... you're wondering why I'm rubbing my arm... right? Dec 07 22:59:08 * Molly nods Dec 07 22:59:27 I always wonder why you do the little things that you do like that Dec 07 23:01:59 * Morgan sighs Dec 07 23:02:41 I'm working on... accepting my scars. I can hardly tell Varick they're just a mark of events in your life and nothing to be ashamed of if thats exactly what I am... Dec 07 23:03:14 * Molly nods Dec 07 23:03:26 I think it's important Dec 07 23:03:53 * Morgan nods Dec 07 23:04:10 I'm going to talk to him about it soon... start getting him used to the idea that I have them Dec 07 23:05:03 * Molly smiles Dec 07 23:05:15 Good. It's a new part of your healing Dec 07 23:05:25 Healing by not healing... Dec 07 23:05:33 * Molly smiles Dec 07 23:05:45 Healing the natural way, not by act of me! Dec 07 23:06:30 By not healing the thing I... hated. Dec 07 23:08:45 * Molly nods Dec 07 23:09:45 It is acceptance, isn't it. The past happened as it did. It's awful, and unfair, but it's unchangable no matter how much you wish it or rail against it Dec 07 23:10:35 * Morgan nods Dec 07 23:12:07 The lashes... they're the result of my own actions and anothers cruelty... Dec 07 23:12:37 Your own heroism and self-sacrifice, yes Dec 07 23:13:08 Heroism? Don't be absurd. Dec 07 23:16:14 Of course it is! Dec 07 23:17:35 * Morgan shakes his head Dec 07 23:18:33 You could have been killed, or dishonourably discharged Dec 07 23:19:10 He pushed for both... Dec 07 23:20:26 You knew he might? Dec 07 23:20:59 * Morgan shrugs Dec 07 23:21:11 Not really... I just knew he'd get us all killed Dec 07 23:22:37 But it was a risk Dec 07 23:22:46 I suppose so Dec 07 23:25:09 Then of course it was brave and heroic Dec 07 23:25:33 * Morgan wrinkles his nose, moving slightly to roll up his sleeves to just below his elbows Dec 07 23:25:43 Little steps... Dec 07 23:26:34 * Molly nods Dec 07 23:26:50 That... yes... makes sense my love Dec 07 23:27:09 * Morgan tilts his head Dec 07 23:27:11 What? Dec 07 23:27:16 * Molly smiles Dec 07 23:27:35 There's just something about a man having his sleeves rolled up... Dec 07 23:28:41 * Morgan nods, tracing a line of scar tissue with his fingers Dec 07 23:28:49 I recall you saying so before Dec 07 23:29:40 * Molly nods Dec 07 23:29:56 Mmhmm. Stef, Inga, and Mina all agree Dec 07 23:30:21 strange Dec 07 23:32:07 I have no idea why... just... strong forearms... hands too. Dec 07 23:33:12 * Morgan nods Dec 07 23:33:17 You're all a bit peculiar Dec 07 23:34:32 * Molly giggles quietly Dec 07 23:35:49 There must be similar things for men though. I am told seeing us push our hair back behind our ears, or fiddling with earrings so you can see our wrists works... and also bared shoulders and collarbones Dec 07 23:36:11 * Morgan nods Dec 07 23:36:22 The hair... and the shoulders and collarbones, yes Dec 07 23:37:30 * Molly nods Dec 07 23:37:36 That's no odder Dec 07 23:38:15 * Morgan nods Dec 07 23:38:36 I suppose Dec 07 23:39:25 And I shouldn't imagine you can explain -why- those things? Dec 07 23:42:12 uhhh... no, actually Dec 07 23:43:49 * Molly nods Dec 07 23:44:35 Just as I cannot explain what is so captivating about your sleeves rolled up Dec 07 23:45:07 * Molly strokes the baby's cheek very gently, watching him fondly Dec 07 23:45:56 * Morgan nods, switching arms Dec 07 23:47:17 * Molly glances at him again before blushing a little and looking back to the baby Dec 07 23:47:28 How was your talk with Inga? Dec 07 23:48:04 Alright... we talked longer than I expected, about more things than I expected Dec 07 23:48:21 Oh? Dec 07 23:49:03 I figured it'd be a quick discussion about what's concerning HeinzHarold... but we talked about all sorts Dec 07 23:50:23 * Molly smiles Dec 07 23:50:38 That's nice. Did you resolve the initial concern? Dec 07 23:50:49 * Morgan nods Dec 07 23:51:05 Her progress hasn't stalled... she's just comfortable and happy with where they are Dec 07 23:52:41 But he wants more? Dec 07 23:53:27 Probably... think he was worried that the lack of progression was an issue, rather than just her being happy where she is Dec 07 23:54:17 * Molly nods Dec 07 23:54:28 They'll work it out, I'm sure Dec 07 23:55:09 * Morgan nods Dec 07 23:55:12 Reckon so Dec 07 23:56:59 What else did you discuss? Dec 07 23:58:37 Edwards friends... how Inga doesn't fancy men that aren't very fun... HeinzHarold being handsome, and how he doesn't know how I landed two such beautiful women... she says its probably because I've got a big cock... Dec 07 23:58:42 * Morgan watches her reaction Dec 07 23:59:48 Well I don't think that is why bec... *she frowns* you're teasing me! She did not say that
