**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Dec 15 00:02:19 2022 Dec 15 00:02:19 *HH smiles. They have coffee but all he really notices is that it's like the one from his favourite cafe. Neither of the others seem to think of going back that way to see her, which means when Morgan swings back around to find Molly he's alone* Dec 15 00:03:33 * Morgan hums quietly as he walks Dec 15 00:04:22 * HH is now known as Molly Dec 15 00:05:55 * Molly comes out, in a different day dress, one that accentuates rather than hides her belly. She looks happy, talking to the blonde assistant who is following her out "I think he will love it" Dec 15 00:06:41 Probably Dec 15 00:07:49 * Molly smiles warmly. The blonde girl watches him with a gentle expression Dec 15 00:08:07 I meant this dress. What do you think? Dec 15 00:08:47 Its lovely... looks a bit more comfy too Dec 15 00:09:30 * Molly nods Dec 15 00:09:46 No concealing this one any more! Dec 15 00:10:59 No, definitely not.... Dec 15 00:11:04 *Dietlinde smiles, curtsying to him. She does look interested in him. Perhaps she'd felt the same sensation in her chest that he did* if you'll excuse me, my Lord Dec 15 00:11:35 * Morgan nods Dec 15 00:11:39 Of course, thank you Dec 15 00:13:09 *she curtsies again before going. Molly smiles at him in the empty corridor* she was very sweet Dec 15 00:13:21 * Morgan nods Dec 15 00:13:30 Think your cousin and HeinzHarold are gonn' fall out over her Dec 15 00:15:17 * Molly laughs softly Dec 15 00:15:28 Apparently they have similar tastes in women! Dec 15 00:16:15 * Morgan nods Dec 15 00:16:40 It certainly seems so Dec 15 00:17:57 * Molly smiles Dec 15 00:18:14 I am free until lunch, what would you like to do? Dec 15 00:18:50 * Morgan shrugs Dec 15 00:18:57 Want to take a walk along the lake? Dec 15 00:19:25 * Molly nods "If you are finished with having me alone in your rooms, yes" Dec 15 00:20:44 For now... Dec 15 00:21:10 * Molly nods Dec 15 00:21:21 Lets do that Dec 15 00:22:01 * Morgan nods, taking her hand Dec 15 00:23:55 *It's quite peaceful walking beside the lake, and she skips stones when they take a rest, the water sparkling prettily behind her, the bump he gave her looking prominent in this dress. But the water is a cornflower blue, like the seamstress' assistants eyes, and he can't help but note that* Dec 15 00:25:49 Best not throw stones in the lake... Dec 15 00:26:41 No? Dec 15 00:26:49 no... there's.... Something in there Dec 15 00:28:04 * Molly nods, coming to him and rubbing her stomach Dec 15 00:28:15 There's something in here too Dec 15 00:32:00 Thats less likely to drag me into the water and drown me... Dec 15 00:34:02 * Molly nods, just standing with him quietly. He wakes up when he hears the dawn watch chime Dec 15 00:35:28 *he has his hand over her stomach, so different than when he felt it in his dream* Dec 15 00:38:01 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Dec 15 00:40:36 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 15 14:18:34 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Dec 15 16:53:42 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Dec 15 16:54:13 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Dec 15 21:49:02 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Dec 15 22:29:07 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Dec 15 22:35:58 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Dec 15 22:36:37 [00:21:28] Molly: *he has his hand over her stomach, so different than when he felt it in his dream* Dec 15 22:37:22 * Morgan frowns, gently getting up out of bed Dec 15 22:37:51 * MollyK isn't disturbed by it Dec 15 22:39:12 * Morgan pulls his clothes on, heading quietly to the galley to make coffee Dec 15 22:39:40 *it's quiet and empty* Dec 15 22:44:21 * Morgan makes two cups of strong coffee before heading up on deck Dec 15 22:44:31 * MollyK is now known as Claudia Dec 15 22:44:45 * Claudia is sat up in the rigging Dec 15 22:45:23 * Morgan looks up Dec 15 22:45:26 Oi... Dec 15 22:45:37 What? Dec 15 22:45:59 * Morgan indicates the second cup Dec 15 22:46:04 Can't get this up to you Dec 15 22:46:44 * Claudia comes down, taking it "Thanks Dec 15 22:47:05 * Morgan nods, sipping his own Dec 15 22:47:10 How you doing? Dec 15 22:47:54 Alright. What about you? Dec 15 22:48:13 * Morgan shrugs Dec 15 22:48:18 Alright I spose Dec 15 22:48:47 Bad night? Dec 15 22:49:18 Just a dream... but I'm not happy about what it says about the sort of person I am... or would have been... Dec 15 22:49:31 Why? Dec 15 22:51:19 Betrayed HeinzHarold to start... then, had to marry a version of Molly cos I'd knocked her up... gotten used to that, we were getting on great, then I met Dietlinde... same feeling as the first time I really saw her, like my heart stopped for a moment. Could't get her off my mind. Dec 15 22:52:18 I guess that's not something you can choose not to feel Dec 15 22:52:38 * Morgan glances at her Dec 15 22:53:00 No. Anyway... I just don't like the person I was being. Dec 15 22:54:21 What did you -do- about it? Dec 15 22:54:49 Nothing. Yet. Dec 15 22:55:24 Yet? Dec 15 22:55:54 I woke up. No idea where it'll go next time Dec 15 22:56:25 You wouldn't be the sort to stray Dec 15 22:56:52 I wouldn't be the sort to have sex with a girl HeinzHarold was crazy about... but I had. Dec 15 22:57:13 * Claudia nods Dec 15 22:57:22 It's not who you are though Dec 15 22:57:48 I suppose. Some of the feelings linger, which is rather awful Dec 15 22:58:37 * Claudia nods Dec 15 22:59:03 Are you going to keep it to yourself? Dec 15 22:59:31 Until I've dealt with it a bit, yeah. Though I've no doubt Molly would tell me I'm being too hard on myself Dec 15 23:00:11 Sounds like the sort of thing she'd say, but you know how women can be Dec 15 23:00:49 * Morgan nods Dec 15 23:00:52 mental Dec 15 23:01:53 * Claudia nods "over-sensitive" Dec 15 23:02:20 Can be. *he shrugs* Sorgi spoken to you about getting some experience of command? Dec 15 23:03:19 * Claudia nods Dec 15 23:03:34 It sounds good Dec 15 23:03:40 * Morgan nods Dec 15 23:04:02 We have agreed that we want the crew obeying your commands without you having to raise your voice by the time we get to Capperlucia Dec 15 23:04:28 * Claudia nods Dec 15 23:04:36 They're nearly there Dec 15 23:06:41 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Dec 15 23:07:09 Just need to get you some experience and confidence in command, and they'll work with that too Dec 15 23:07:58 * Claudia nods Dec 15 23:08:17 Sorgi says we're stopping in Starke Dec 15 23:08:48 * Morgan nods Dec 15 23:08:52 Just a quick stop Dec 15 23:09:27 We don't need it, we have provisions Dec 15 23:10:51 I know Dec 15 23:11:34 We'd make better time if we don't dock there or Montaigne Dec 15 23:11:55 She's fast enough it won't make much difference... Dec 15 23:12:32 * Claudia shrugs Dec 15 23:12:53 Just seems pointless, as I said to Sorgi Dec 15 23:13:36 Almost, yes Dec 15 23:15:28 * Claudia shrugs Dec 15 23:16:04 What's happening with the queen now? Dec 15 23:16:35 She still has no memory but... some part of her recognises him for her to be so comfortable with him Dec 15 23:17:12 Are you going to fix it? Dec 15 23:18:04 Don't even know if we can Dec 15 23:18:36 Have you tried? Dec 15 23:18:54 Not yet. Didn't want to overwhelm her with everything she's having to learn Dec 15 23:20:03 And of course, its not strictly speaking that simple... Dec 15 23:21:24 Why? Dec 15 23:23:11 What if bringing back her memory gets rid of everything she knows now... her love for her son, for example... Dec 15 23:24:05 Possible I guess. Dec 15 23:25:15 * Morgan nods Dec 15 23:25:17 indeed Dec 15 23:26:26 Are you going to wait until we get there then? Dec 15 23:27:44 I dunno. Need to talk with Molly about it really. It'd be easier if Zareen wasn't so accustomed to the empire as to be completely against any sort of magic Dec 15 23:28:49 * Claudia nods Dec 15 23:29:57 Need to think how you'll keep the baby fed if she rejects him once she has her memory too. I can't help you, I can't think of much worse than nursing a baby Dec 15 23:31:38 Can you not? Nursing HeinzHarold? Dec 15 23:32:43 * Claudia grimaces Dec 15 23:33:22 Gross... but I suppose if you closed your eyes, you could pretend he was someone you were attracted to Dec 15 23:34:03 Someone... short, impish, married to a grumpy looking colonel... Dec 15 23:35:04 Shut up, Morgan. The only thing worse than me thinking about that is you thinking about it! *she's smiling a little though* Dec 15 23:35:33 * Morgan smiles slightly Dec 15 23:35:43 I miss her... she helps me make sense of the snakes nest that is my mind Dec 15 23:37:45 What would she tell you about this dream that's bothering you? Dec 15 23:38:01 * Morgan shrugs Dec 15 23:38:03 I've no idea Dec 15 23:39:11 You could with her here then Dec 15 23:39:41 * Morgan shrugs Dec 15 23:40:27 I'll work it out eventually Dec 15 23:41:20 * Claudia nods Dec 15 23:42:20 Aren't you working the forenoon? Dec 15 23:42:38 * Morgan nods Dec 15 23:42:40 aye Dec 15 23:43:37 Do you need to see her before you do? Dec 15 23:44:06 I'll catch five minutes with her and get some more coffee Dec 15 23:45:29 * Claudia nods Dec 15 23:45:44 Morgan? Go easy on yourself, yeah? Dec 15 23:46:07 Now... why would you say that? Dec 15 23:46:23 Seems like something you might need to hear Dec 15 23:47:10 * Morgan nods Dec 15 23:47:13 Try my best Dec 15 23:48:22 * Claudia nods, letting him go Dec 15 23:48:40 * Morgan heads down to his cabin Dec 15 23:49:12 * Claudia is now known as Molly Dec 15 23:49:19 * Molly is getting dressed Dec 15 23:49:30 Morning love Dec 15 23:49:40 Good morning, liebling Dec 15 23:49:55 How did you sleep? Dec 15 23:50:13 Not too badly Dec 15 23:50:49 * Morgan nods Dec 15 23:50:54 I wanted to see you before I go on duty Dec 15 23:51:08 * Molly pulls on her trousers, tucking her blouse in before having to work at getting the buttons done with a frustrated sigh Dec 15 23:51:21 I am always glad to see tou Dec 15 23:51:27 What's the matter? Dec 15 23:52:03 I've put in weight at Edward's house, and my trousers are snugger than I wish Dec 15 23:52:37 Ah. I had not noticed, you are still utterly perfect to me Dec 15 23:52:57 * Molly smiles shyly, blushing Dec 15 23:53:10 Really? Utterly perfect?! Dec 15 23:53:16 * Morgan nods Dec 15 23:53:39 * Molly touches her shorter hair "even with this?" Dec 15 23:53:46 * Morgan nods Dec 15 23:53:48 Absolutely Dec 15 23:55:42 * Molly smiles, turning around. The trousers are very tight across her hips and bottom "even this?" Dec 15 23:55:53 * Morgan nods Dec 15 23:56:01 Yes indeed Dec 15 23:56:43 * Molly comes to him "a few weeks at sea and it'll drop right off, I'm sure" Dec 15 23:56:54 I would imagine so my love Dec 15 23:58:19 * Molly kisses his cheek. She already smells of the exotic perfume from Riyadh's market Dec 15 23:58:45 How are you this morning? Dec 15 23:58:51 * Morgan shrugs Dec 15 23:59:16 Off kilter, but we can talk about it later... something occurred to me about Zareens memory... Dec 15 23:59:47 * Molly frowns slightly
