**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Dec 12 00:00:29 2022 Dec 12 00:00:29 What is it that lingers? Dec 12 00:01:03 * Morgan shrusg Dec 12 00:01:06 I don't know Dec 12 00:02:22 * Molly nods Dec 12 00:02:57 I do not know how I can help it... *she sighs* maybe it would have been easier for you if you'd had some distance from me Dec 12 00:03:26 I don't think so, no Dec 12 00:04:33 * Molly shrugs "I just don't know, my love" Dec 12 00:04:56 * Morgan nods Dec 12 00:05:17 We need to keep trying... keep letting ourselves have those moments of closeness Dec 12 00:06:37 * Molly bites her lip Dec 12 00:07:06 It is only that I am giving you the choice to come to me Dec 12 00:07:39 I figured... you wanted space Dec 12 00:09:00 * Molly shakes her head Dec 12 00:09:13 God no! I hate space. Dec 12 00:09:27 * Morgan nods Dec 12 00:09:32 Then... come here... Dec 12 00:10:35 * Molly does so Dec 12 00:10:46 * Morgan wraps his arms around her, holding her tight Dec 12 00:10:59 * Molly holds onto him tightly Dec 12 00:11:23 I'm yours, I only want to be here with you, and I'll never be that stupid again Dec 12 00:13:50 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Dec 12 00:15:59 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 12 11:58:38 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Dec 12 15:47:45 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Dec 12 21:57:56 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Dec 12 22:04:01 * MollyK has quit (Ping Timeout) Dec 12 22:41:52 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Dec 12 22:42:22 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Dec 12 22:42:38 [23:57:19] Molly: I'm yours, I only want to be here with you, and I'll never be that stupid again Dec 12 22:43:30 * Morgan nods, kissing her crown Dec 12 22:43:32 Its alright Dec 12 22:44:04 * MollyK nods, moving her head back just a little to look at him "I love you." Dec 12 22:45:25 And I love you, to the ends of the oceans Dec 12 22:45:42 * MollyK nods, kissing him softly Dec 12 22:53:34 * Morgan sighs contentedly Dec 12 22:55:27 * MollyK makes a similar noise, her arms going around his neck Dec 12 22:55:47 * Morgan pulls away slightly Dec 12 22:56:07 We should go back, I don't want Varick thinking he's being palmed off on the others Dec 12 22:56:52 * MollyK sighs "I suppose so, my love" Dec 12 22:58:55 * Morgan nods, taking her hand in his and entwining his fingers in hers Dec 12 22:59:59 Sometimes it feels like there's not much time for -us-, you know? Dec 12 23:00:19 * Morgan nods Dec 12 23:00:38 We are busy people with many draws on our time... I think part of that is what being parents is about... Dec 12 23:01:18 * MollyK nods Dec 12 23:01:27 We'll have this evening though Dec 12 23:02:10 You have not forgotten I'm going to see Sorgi once he comes off shift? Dec 12 23:02:17 I had Dec 12 23:03:02 I won't be too long, he's back on shift at midnight and will need to rest Dec 12 23:04:26 * MollyK nods Dec 12 23:04:32 Alright, my love Dec 12 23:08:43 * Morgan sighs Dec 12 23:08:57 When she found out he'd been talking to Florrie, Mina went very... formal... Dec 12 23:09:16 * MollyK nods Dec 12 23:09:26 It's so complicated for her, isn't it? Dec 12 23:10:58 * Morgan nods Dec 12 23:11:11 I'm afraid, though, she needs to start accepting it and working through it Dec 12 23:12:24 I know, my love... but Florrie is a reminder of Edward's past, and a bond he has with her mother. She is also Edward's first born. Dec 12 23:12:49 I am aware of all that Dec 12 23:14:09 Mina feels like she's lost something, like her -children- have lost something Dec 12 23:14:33 * Morgan frowns Dec 12 23:14:36 You feel that way... Dec 12 23:16:10 * MollyK shakes her head Dec 12 23:16:16 Absolutely not. Dec 12 23:16:32 It rather sounds like you're speaking from experience... Dec 12 23:17:36 I am speaking from talking to Mina whilst we were there. *she looks at him solemnly* I had hoped you knew that I would have welcomed Jana with open arms and heart had our path led that way Dec 12 23:18:45 Sorry. I'm still a little... defensive, perhaps Dec 12 23:19:08 About Jana? Dec 12 23:19:37 In general, I think... Dec 12 23:20:44 You need not be. Mina has married him knowing he is already a father. She now has to live with that choice Dec 12 23:20:58 * Morgan nods, sighing Dec 12 23:22:12 You are hurt? Dec 12 23:22:49 I... don't know why I would be... I'm just... I don't want Florrie being hurt Dec 12 23:23:02 You're protective, I know Dec 12 23:25:56 * Morgan nods Dec 12 23:26:34 I will speak with her Dec 12 23:30:19 Three o'clock tomorrow. I suppose we need to set aside a little time to talk all things business... and lands.... Dec 12 23:31:35 You and I? Dec 12 23:31:39 * Morgan nods Dec 12 23:32:21 Later this evening? Dec 12 23:32:35 * Morgan nods Dec 12 23:32:37 alright Dec 12 23:34:00 We should go to Varick then Dec 12 23:37:01 * Morgan nods, leading the way Dec 12 23:38:28 *Varick doesn't look at all troubled that he'd been left with the others, but does want Morgan for bed time* Dec 12 23:39:42 * Morgan does so Dec 12 23:41:16 * MollyK is now known as Varick Dec 12 23:41:37 * Varick gets ready for bed, the cat in with him, purring Dec 12 23:41:47 Will you tell me a story? Dec 12 23:42:17 * Morgan nods, finding a book of stories and picking one to read Dec 12 23:45:19 * Varick falls asleep before he finishes Dec 12 23:45:44 * Morgan smiles, putting the book away before going quietly back into the other room Dec 12 23:48:46 *dinner is much like the previous night, and Inga and HH are going to stay for a few drinks with Molly when it's time for Morgan to go to Sorgi* Dec 12 23:49:13 * Morgan gets up, excusing himself before heading for Sorgi's cabin Dec 12 23:50:37 * Varick is now known as Sorgi Dec 12 23:50:52 * Sorgi is in there looking over charts when he calls Morgan in Dec 12 23:51:24 * Morgan stands in front of the desk for a moment, looking like he's stood to attention before sitting down Dec 12 23:51:46 Whiskey? Dec 12 23:52:06 please Dec 12 23:54:01 * Sorgi pours them both some before sitting down Dec 12 23:54:10 Everything alright, m'lord? Dec 12 23:54:40 Aye, mostly. It was a rough trip and Molly and I are still regaining our footing, so to speak Dec 12 23:56:08 * Sorgi nods Dec 12 23:56:29 You have something special, I'm sure you'll square it away Dec 12 23:57:01 * Morgan nods Dec 12 23:58:01 Might just take some time, thats all. How do things sit with you and Claudia now? Dec 12 23:59:26 Everything is fine, m'lord
