**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Dec 14 00:00:56 2022 Dec 14 00:00:56 Its sitting there empty. Dec 14 00:01:46 Yes Dec 14 00:01:53 It seems... wasteful Dec 14 00:03:59 Yes, I suppose so... Dec 14 00:04:51 You disagree? Dec 14 00:06:38 No, I just don't know how best it could be utilised Dec 14 00:07:00 * Morgan shrugs Dec 14 00:07:16 I toyed with the idea of asking Alice to move in there but they are so happy where they are... Dec 14 00:09:17 * Molly nods Dec 14 00:09:58 Although, it might be a good step if Florrie is going to be acknowledged as Edward's child, and eventually want to enter the upper class society Dec 14 00:10:50 * Morgan nods Dec 14 00:11:03 And, since Alice runs the island... Dec 14 00:12:20 * Molly nods Dec 14 00:12:48 It might be something for her to consider. But it does take more money to live in such a house Dec 14 00:13:11 She could live in a single wing... Dec 14 00:15:33 She could, yes Dec 14 00:18:20 * Morgan sighs Dec 14 00:18:26 I'll mention it to her. Dec 14 00:18:50 * Molly nods Dec 14 00:18:57 Alright, my love Dec 14 00:20:31 I'm not entirely sure how I feel about Edward speaking with Florrie so often... by all accounts they are growing very close Dec 14 00:20:44 * Molly holds out her hand Dec 14 00:21:16 It's good for them, my love. Florrie will help him heal and move forward, and she needs a father in her life. Dec 14 00:23:37 I know... I know Dec 14 00:23:40 * Morgan takes her hand Dec 14 00:24:04 * Molly kisses his knuckles Dec 14 00:24:10 But you're also sad Dec 14 00:24:17 Its stupid Dec 14 00:26:48 No it isn't Dec 14 00:27:14 Of course it is. Why should I be jealous, she's not my daughter Dec 14 00:28:52 But she looks like her, and because you love her deeply Dec 14 00:32:13 I suppose so Dec 14 00:33:19 It's alright to feel that, my love. She was first to bond with you, and the first small child you bonded with Dec 14 00:33:37 * Morgan sighs Dec 14 00:33:39 I suppose so Dec 14 00:34:58 The more you try to fight the feeling, the worse it will get. You're envious that Edward has that opportunity and you do not. It's understandable Dec 14 00:35:30 * Morgan nods Dec 14 00:35:47 She was still thrilled to see me. She was asking when we'll visit Dec 14 00:36:36 * Molly nods Dec 14 00:36:49 She won't stop loving you just because she loves him Dec 14 00:37:46 * Morgan nods Dec 14 00:37:50 No, I suppose not Dec 14 00:39:08 * Molly squeezes gently before opening her arms to him Dec 14 00:39:27 * Morgan moves into them Dec 14 00:40:23 * Molly embraces him Dec 14 00:40:50 It's alright, liebling. You can be both sad for you and happy for them at the same time Dec 14 00:41:19 * Morgan nods Dec 14 00:41:31 I'll get used to it Dec 14 00:42:32 You will. And once we are back you'll have weeks with her Dec 14 00:42:59 * Morgan nods Dec 14 00:43:02 I suppose so Dec 14 00:45:30 * Molly nods "And some day hopefully soon, there will be another small person in need of devotion and adoration" Dec 14 00:45:43 * Morgan nods Dec 14 00:48:12 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Dec 14 00:50:32 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 14 11:33:00 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Dec 14 14:04:02 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Dec 14 18:44:44 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Dec 14 22:02:02 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Dec 14 22:02:45 * MollyK kisses his knuckles again "will you be checking things, or are you ready for bed?" Dec 14 22:03:28 I suppose I'm ready for bed Dec 14 22:06:04 * MollyK nods, getting up and getting ready for bed, sighing as the brushing takes so little time Dec 14 22:06:12 Was all well with Sorgi? Dec 14 22:07:29 Aye, it was... talked over what he wants HeinzHarold doing, how we're going to plan Claudia in to get some command experience, how we need to start impressing on the crew the differences in Capperlucia Dec 14 22:08:00 * MollyK nods Dec 14 22:08:18 Xsarlac should be able to guide us Dec 14 22:08:42 * Morgan nods Dec 14 22:09:02 aye... we want to get the men used to obeying Claudia without her having to raise her voice or repeat herself Dec 14 22:09:44 * MollyK nods Dec 14 22:09:49 It's frustrating Dec 14 22:09:57 * MollyK gets into bed Dec 14 22:10:09 * Morgan nods, getting undressed Dec 14 22:10:17 Well, we've got a few weeks to break them of it Dec 14 22:11:08 * MollyK nods, smiling as she watches him Dec 14 22:11:12 Indeed we do Dec 14 22:11:33 * Morgan climbs into bed Dec 14 22:13:46 * MollyK smiles Dec 14 22:14:01 Is it nice to be sailing again? Dec 14 22:14:05 * Morgan nods Dec 14 22:14:24 Aye, it is... it sounds daft but I fall asleep easier at sea Dec 14 22:16:01 * MollyK shakes her head "not daft at all. If you are ready to sleep, I will sing?" Dec 14 22:16:51 Is that alright? Dec 14 22:17:02 Why wouldn't it be? Dec 14 22:17:29 * Morgan shrugs Dec 14 22:18:10 * MollyK gently kisses his cheek "Goodnight,my love" Dec 14 22:20:58 G'night blossom Dec 14 22:25:05 ACTION sings quietly, and between that and the water he's asleep quickly. He starts to dream, where he'd betrayed, and since made up with Heinzharold. They had travelled by sea and river to Baden before riding through Gottkirchen to Innesbruck and finally Sudlachenburg. It's given Morgan time to fully fix things with HH, and to show his pregnant Dec 14 22:25:05 bride to be the house they will live in. The banns have been read for three consecutive weeks, leaving them only a few days from the wedding. She's felt more kicks, and has gotten too big for the clothes brought with them. MTF Dec 14 22:27:52 They are on the couch in his room, not long after breakfast, her final dress fitting due this morning. As is quite common, they're kissing, hands on each other, but nothing below the waist, an agreement to wait made. She moves to kiss his neck, sat beside him but turned towards him, legs over his Dec 14 22:28:32 * Morgan tilts his head, giving her access Dec 14 22:28:56 * MollyK licks his skin "three days..." Dec 14 22:29:20 mmhmmm... I hope I live up to your expectations... Dec 14 22:30:48 You were doing an excellent job that night. I look forward to being under you again... *she gently sucks his skin* Dec 14 22:31:33 Could be... difficult... Dec 14 22:33:31 * MollyK takes his hand, putting it on her stomach "because of our little friend..." Dec 14 22:34:21 * Morgan nods Dec 14 22:34:23 exactly Dec 14 22:36:22 * MollyK nods, kissing again on his neck "Maybe you will be beneath me then" Dec 14 22:36:36 Can't say that had occurred to me... Dec 14 22:36:50 * MollyK laughs softly Dec 14 22:37:10 You didn't realise there are many different positions? Dec 14 22:37:27 Not something I've really considered Dec 14 22:39:20 * MollyK nods, biting very gently Dec 14 22:40:59 There are ways. It'll be fine Dec 14 22:42:14 * Morgan gasps slightly Dec 14 22:42:18 I'm sure you will... Dec 14 22:42:41 I will...? Dec 14 22:44:02 Be fine Dec 14 22:44:42 * MollyK bites gently again Dec 14 22:45:01 I hope it's everything you hope it will be... Dec 14 22:45:37 I'm sure it will, and more Dec 14 22:46:38 * MollyK kisses along his jaw Dec 14 22:46:57 I am desperately looking forward to it Dec 14 22:47:15 Oh really? Dec 14 22:47:54 * MollyK nods Dec 14 22:48:11 I'm getting a bit bored of touching myself now! Dec 14 22:48:21 * Morgan laughs quietly Dec 14 22:49:46 That's amusing? *she kisses him a moment before watching him with a smile* Dec 14 22:50:24 A little Dec 14 22:51:11 Why? Dec 14 22:52:35 Given how much experience you have with it, and how little we have... together... you'd think you'd have a wide repertoire Dec 14 22:54:10 Oh I do... but it does still lose it's shine when you'd rather be sharing your body with someone Dec 14 22:55:09 * Morgan nods Dec 14 22:55:25 I suppose so Dec 14 22:55:41 * MollyK kisses him again Dec 14 22:55:57 And do you have a wide repertoire you are still enjoying? Dec 14 22:56:28 Not exactly, no... aside from the fact its a fairly straight forward task for a man... I've not... y'know Dec 14 22:56:49 * MollyK looks shocked Dec 14 22:56:55 Are you crazy?! Dec 14 22:57:55 * Morgan shrugs Dec 14 22:58:32 Not particularly Dec 14 22:58:39 Except about you, obviously... Dec 14 22:59:01 * MollyK smiles, kissing him again "mmm good answer" Dec 14 22:59:15 * Morgan nods slightly Dec 14 22:59:17 I thought so Dec 14 23:00:58 I feel the same. I am so glad we accidentally ended up here Dec 14 23:01:56 * Morgan nods Dec 14 23:02:06 As am I... wish it had been a little easier, mind Dec 14 23:02:20 * MollyK nods Dec 14 23:02:57 Me too. But I think we're going to be just fi- *there's a knock at the door* Dec 14 23:03:57 come Dec 14 23:04:35 *A Maid enters, curtseying* The seamstress is here with the dress, my Lord Dec 14 23:06:35 * Morgan nods, tapping Molly's legs Dec 14 23:06:40 That'll be for you then Dec 14 23:07:44 * MollyK nods, getting up "Walk down with me?" Dec 14 23:08:47 * Morgan nods Dec 14 23:08:50 If you like Dec 14 23:10:23 * MollyK nods, holding out her hand Dec 14 23:10:52 * Morgan gets up, taking it Dec 14 23:12:21 *the maid goes, and she walks with him to the room used before* Apparently you aren't supposed to see it before the wedding... Dec 14 23:13:39 * Morgan nods Dec 14 23:13:46 Best leave you at the door then Dec 14 23:14:20 * MollyK whispers in his ear "I assume they mean the dress, and not something else..." Dec 14 23:14:39 * Morgan blushes Dec 14 23:14:49 I hope so, that ship has sailed... Dec 14 23:15:34 * MollyK nods, kissing him gently "I'll find you once your child and I have squeezed into my dress!" Dec 14 23:18:13 * Morgan nods Dec 14 23:18:21 Alright... I'll be around somewhere Dec 14 23:20:03 * MollyK nods, going in Dec 14 23:20:32 * Morgan wanders off towards the kitchen Dec 14 23:21:27 *as he's turning the first corner he bumps into someone, sending what they are carrying flying, and knocking them over Dec 14 23:22:44 * Morgan apologises profusely, moving to help them up Dec 14 23:24:21 *the young woman is about his age, blonde with cornflower blue eyes, and absolutely lovely. He feels his heart skip a beat in his chest* Dec 14 23:24:25 * MollyK is now known as Dietlinde Dec 14 23:24:36 My apologies, my Lord, I was not looking Dec 14 23:26:15 No, no, its entirely my fault... are you alright? Dec 14 23:27:04 * Dietlinde starts picking up various fabrics Dec 14 23:27:07 Yes, my Lord Dec 14 23:27:32 * Morgan nods, moving to help her gather the fabrics Dec 14 23:27:39 I take it you're the seamstress... Dec 14 23:27:48 * Dietlinde shakes her head Dec 14 23:27:53 Just the assistant Dec 14 23:28:03 Hence all the carrying... Dec 14 23:29:10 * Dietlinde smiles shyly "yes, my Lord" Dec 14 23:29:39 *He can hear laughter from down the hall, it sounds like HH and Sebastian* Dec 14 23:30:00 I umm... *she watches him with those lovely eyes* Dec 14 23:32:27 Yes, I should let you get on Dec 14 23:32:36 Yes, I should get back to work, thank you for your help, my Lord Dec 14 23:32:49 * Morgan nods, getting out of her way Dec 14 23:32:53 It was nice to meet you Dec 14 23:33:03 *HH and Sebastian reach the corridor* Dec 14 23:33:41 Dietlinde... my name is Dietlinde, my Lord. *she curtsies, the fabric in no danger of being dropped* Dec 14 23:34:07 Dietlinde... again, my sincerest apologies Dec 14 23:35:02 HH: *he comes over* Dya want me to carry them for you? Dec 14 23:36:01 * Dietlinde hands them to HH. Sebastian is watching her before looking to Morgan "My Lord, would you make an introduction for me?" Dec 14 23:37:08 Uhh, this is Dietlinde, the seamstress' assistant... Dietlinde, this is HeinzHarold and Sebastien Dec 14 23:38:09 * Dietlinde smiles gently "I know Heinzharold. Hello, I am pleased to meet you, Sebastian" Dec 14 23:38:32 *Both of them look pretty taken with her* Dec 14 23:39:11 S: And I am pleased to meet you also. Are you working now? Dec 14 23:39:44 * Dietlinde nods "I need to get back. Good morning, my Lord, Heinzharold, Sebastian" Dec 14 23:40:21 *HH opens the door before going in with her. Sebastian watches in her wake* Dec 14 23:40:32 * Dietlinde is now known as Seb Dec 14 23:41:04 *he looks thoughtful* Beautiful girl... Dec 14 23:41:41 We grow them pretty in Sudlachenburg Dec 14 23:41:53 As we do in Insel Dec 14 23:42:38 * Morgan smiles slightly Dec 14 23:42:46 I noticed. I'm going for coffee, coming? Dec 14 23:44:17 * Seb watches the door a moment Dec 14 23:44:25 Yes... yes, alright Dec 14 23:44:39 * Morgan starts moving Dec 14 23:44:48 You and HeinzHarold aren't gonn' start fighting over a girl again are you? Dec 14 23:45:40 * Seb looks unsure Dec 14 23:45:51 I don't know. Do you think he likes her? Dec 14 23:46:12 You see he has eyes... and they know eachother Dec 14 23:46:50 * Seb nods Dec 14 23:47:05 I suppose she isn't gentry? Dec 14 23:47:25 No, she's not Dec 14 23:48:38 Damn. That leaves a nobleman little option Dec 14 23:49:06 I suppose not, no Dec 14 23:50:28 * Seb nods Dec 14 23:50:40 She is pretty though... Dec 14 23:50:50 * Morgan nods Dec 14 23:50:56 Think its the eyes Dec 14 23:51:20 * Seb nods Dec 14 23:51:31 Hard to forget. Dec 14 23:53:12 I suppose Dec 14 23:53:36 * Seb seems to be brooding on this even as HH catches them up Dec 14 23:53:40 * Seb is now known as HH Dec 14 23:53:53 You should see 'er in 'er dress!
