**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Dec 19 00:00:31 2022 Dec 19 00:00:31 * Morgan nods Dec 19 00:00:34 Aye... it is Dec 19 00:01:08 Edward says he is definitely willing to invest Dec 19 00:03:01 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Dec 19 00:06:18 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 19 11:09:17 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Dec 19 11:33:03 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Dec 19 11:33:31 [23:47:13] Molly: Edward says he is definitely willing to invest Dec 19 11:33:54 Just waiting on the replies from Father and Jarvie now then and for Witts to make the proposals Dec 19 11:34:20 * MollyK nods Dec 19 11:34:55 It's promising though. You're building a solid future for our family Dec 19 11:38:33 I hope so Dec 19 11:38:45 * MollyK smiles Dec 19 11:39:17 That's what's important; what is and what will be. Not what was or would have been Dec 19 11:39:56 * Morgan nods slightly Dec 19 11:41:26 * MollyK smiles, watching Varick and the cat Dec 19 11:41:51 Now, would you please do what you were doing to my hair again? Dec 19 11:42:06 * Morgan nods, standing back up to do so Dec 19 11:48:27 ACTION settles into it, relaxing further. Once Varick is finished, he wants Morgan to do the same to him. The time passes through Morgan putting the boy to bed, Heinzharold bringing Inga back to them, and Xsarlac and Zareen arriving with Amir. If he's going to try to catch Molly alone, he's probably going to pry her away from the baby she's sat on Dec 19 11:48:27 the floor playing with Dec 19 11:54:28 * Morgan sits at his desk, reading through his letters from his father Dec 19 11:54:37 [did you speak to Sigfried about Zareen?] Dec 19 11:55:56 [umm no, I'm afraid my mind has been elsewhere today] Dec 19 11:58:03 * Morgan nods slightly Dec 19 12:04:16 [how do you want to handle it?] Dec 19 12:04:39 * MollyK is making the baby laugh [I don't mind, my love] Dec 19 12:09:48 * Morgan reads a little longer before packing the letters away Dec 19 12:11:24 * MollyK is still on the floor with the baby, and Inga has joined her Dec 19 12:11:35 * MollyK is now known as Xsarlac Dec 19 12:12:22 * Xsarlac watches them "usually this is when they start searching out potential fathers" Dec 19 12:13:00 * Morgan looks up at him Dec 19 12:13:02 Sorry? Dec 19 12:15:47 When women get broody in Capperlucia they look for the men who might get to become fathers Dec 19 12:16:20 I think thats already covered Dec 19 12:20:03 It's done without much forethought in Theah Main. Our people would be shocked that men do not have to prove themselves fit and worthy Dec 19 12:20:54 You have competitions to become a father? Dec 19 12:23:12 There are trials of endurance, gentleness, and checks of lineage. It is important that a father will be fully committed Dec 19 12:24:17 * Morgan nods slowly Dec 19 12:24:19 I see Dec 19 12:27:46 * Xsarlac nods "Once she has selected him and a pregnancy is confirmed, he will start taking the herbs that allow him to nurse the child. It's a big commitment and ensures only men who are committed to their child will do it. Some men choose to not become fathers but are very good uncles and mentors" Dec 19 12:29:55 wait... hang on... -he- nurses the child? Dec 19 12:32:13 * Xsarlac nods "Depending on her role in society, he either does part, most, or all of the nursing. It's a very special thing" Dec 19 12:32:29 I wasn't aware that was even possible Dec 19 12:33:18 It's always been a surprise to any visitors who found themselves in Capperlucia Dec 19 12:35:16 * Morgan nods Dec 19 12:36:34 We don't have the problems that Theah Main does with men walking away from their children or hitting them. The bond is strongee Dec 19 12:37:00 I can't say I've any experience of that... Dec 19 12:38:19 It's against the law to strike a child anyway. Even what you would call spanking is not permitted Dec 19 12:39:15 * Morgan nods Dec 19 12:39:24 Its commonplace here... Dec 19 12:40:13 * Xsarlac nods "Theah Main is cruel to children. Our children and our elders are treated with much more respect" Dec 19 12:41:55 * Morgan sips his coffee momentarily Dec 19 12:42:02 Its just the outsiders that are treated with disdain? Dec 19 12:43:45 Why would you think that? Dec 19 12:44:45 Because everything you've said about Capperlucia is about how much better you treat eachother than any outsider does... Dec 19 12:47:00 We aren't hostile to anyone who visits. Many people who have arrived in Capperlucia have wanted to stay and been welcomed in. The ways of Theah Main are cruel to children, older people, and women. Not individual people like you or your loved ones, but the societies themselves Dec 19 12:47:35 * Morgan watches him before nodding slightly, sipping his coffee Dec 19 12:47:54 Why does that make you defensive? Dec 19 12:49:37 If someone described everyone that wasn't their way of living as backwards and uncivilised, or cruel... nevermind. Dec 19 12:52:15 It's not just because it's our way of living, Morgan. It's because it's morally right to look after the physically weaker members of society, and because our babies and elders are closer to the All-Mother than we are Dec 19 12:53:35 So... they're closer to the all mother because they're women and that intrinsically makes them better than men... Dec 19 12:55:28 Not better than men. Not better than anyone. They are closer to the times when they are part of Her. Women are able to birth someone just as She birthed our people. At that time, a woman is closer. Dec 19 12:55:56 * Morgan rolls his shoulders Dec 19 12:56:01 [what's going on? Why are you at odds?] Dec 19 12:57:18 [Don't ask me, I'm just part of a barbaric cruel society] Dec 19 12:57:44 [oh dear. Am I needed?] Dec 19 12:58:18 * Morgan glances down at his cup Dec 19 12:58:24 Excuse me, I'm going to get more coffee Dec 19 12:59:56 * Xsarlac nods. The galley is busy, dinner almost ready Dec 19 13:00:53 * Morgan quietly goes about making coffee before taking some up on deck Dec 19 13:01:01 * Xsarlac is now known as HH Dec 19 13:01:36 * HH is on duty watching the dock. Claudia is up here too Dec 19 13:02:08 * Morgan waders over to the rail, looking down at the dock as he sips his coffee Dec 19 13:04:08 Didn' bring me any? Dec 19 13:04:38 * Morgan shakes his head, offering him the cup Dec 19 13:05:36 * HH takes it, sipping it Dec 19 13:06:01 That's good. You come t' congratulate me on the Eisen Seven? Dec 19 13:06:17 * Morgan takes a slow breath Dec 19 13:06:36 Yeah, why not. Dec 19 13:07:18 * HH nods Dec 19 13:07:44 My wife is very happy. Means she fits in more Dec 19 13:07:58 Fits in? Dec 19 13:10:37 Molly an' Stef. Though I dunno Stef counts if it's not all with the same man? Dec 19 13:11:02 * Morgan shrugs Dec 19 13:11:08 Couldn't say Dec 19 13:13:17 How you an' Molly doing now? Dec 19 13:13:57 fine Dec 19 13:16:05 That's good, right? Dec 19 13:16:10 * Morgan nods Dec 19 13:16:12 Course it is Dec 19 13:16:26 Then why you up 'ere and not with her? Dec 19 13:17:09 They're all making faces at Amir... and I was getting tired of hearing how wonderful Capperlucia is and how awful the rest of us are Dec 19 13:17:31 How are we awful? Dec 19 13:18:25 Oh, our societies are cruel and abusive and horrible, and women are so much closer to the all mother... Dec 19 13:18:44 * HH frowns Dec 19 13:19:21 Right... that's pretty weird. Got any ackshul reasons? Dec 19 13:19:31 * Morgan looks at him Dec 19 13:20:39 Oh I'm sure he has... I'm just fed up of hearing about their perfect society and how its better than ours... though he did point out the cruelty isn't something me or my loved ones would do, of course Dec 19 13:21:06 Well yeah, we're good people Dec 19 13:23:42 * Morgan nods Dec 19 13:26:10 Mebbie it's not gonna be as bad as we think. Be like being on 'oliday, no responsibilities Dec 19 13:28:08 Yeah, maybe... I just don't do well with the holier than thou attitudes Dec 19 13:29:02 * HH nods Dec 19 13:29:25 Yeah, makes you kick back, like a stubborn mule *he grins* Dec 19 13:29:35 * Morgan nods Dec 19 13:29:57 I'd rather not fall out with him one day into a six week voyage Dec 19 13:31:01 * HH nods Dec 19 13:31:11 Yeah, not gonna be easy Dec 19 13:32:14 Be fine if he stops telling me how amazing his people are compared to mine Dec 19 13:33:45 Get Molly to have a word? Dec 19 13:33:54 maybe Dec 19 13:35:31 You wanna stay up on watch? Claudia can find ya some work Dec 19 13:36:13 Might do, actually Dec 19 13:42:25 I'm staying til midnight, you allowed out that late? Dec 19 13:44:19 Long as I reassure her I'm not avoiding her, I expect so Dec 19 13:44:58 * HH nods Dec 19 13:45:24 Inga will keep her comp'ny til she goes to bed Dec 19 13:46:15 [I think I'm going to stay on deck and do some work love... think I need some air for a while] Dec 19 13:46:35 [alright...] Dec 19 13:47:44 [I'm not avoiding you if thats what you're thinking] Dec 19 13:49:01 [I was concerned you might be avoiding coming to bed with me because of your dream] Dec 19 13:50:56 [No, I'm avoiding Sigfried. He's annoying the hell out of me... I am wary about sleeping] Dec 19 13:52:09 [you need to sleep, my love] Dec 19 13:52:32 [I know] Dec 19 13:54:30 [you'll come to bed later?] Dec 19 13:54:38 [yes love] Dec 19 13:54:57 [alright. Enjoy your evening] Dec 19 13:55:58 I'm going to go find a messenger Dec 19 13:57:02 * HH nods "I'll keep the coffee then, yeah?" Dec 19 13:57:29 * Morgan nods, wandering off towards the gangplank Dec 19 14:02:24 *A messenger is easily found in the tavern where Kai had admitted destroying the Rose* Dec 19 14:03:38 * Morgan gives him instructions to find Witts and writes out the messages Dec 19 14:06:08 *it's easily taken care of. A group of unfamiliar sailors invites him to join them for a drink* Dec 19 14:07:04 * Morgan does so, but doesn't drink much Dec 19 14:08:17 *a passing comment reveals that they used to crew the Solemn Wind* Dec 19 14:10:10 You've worked for Dau? Dec 19 14:19:29 * HH is now known as Sailor Dec 19 14:19:58 We did, til everything went wrong Dec 19 14:20:41 Oh? Dec 19 14:21:57 He got executed, and the creditors took everything Dec 19 14:22:15 * Morgan nods Dec 19 14:22:43 He deserved it Dec 19 14:25:06 Heard he raped a girl and got caught Dec 19 14:25:32 He did things to that girl that would be fit as a torment in hell... Dec 19 14:27:16 Always thought he was a bit mental Dec 19 14:27:34 * Morgan nods slowly Dec 19 14:27:45 What do you gentlemen do now? Dec 19 14:28:11 Whatever comes along. Loading and unloading cargo mostly Dec 19 14:28:42 You miss sailing? Dec 19 14:31:55 Who wouldn't? Dec 19 14:32:13 He had my ship sunk... Dec 19 14:33:11 *one of the others says "Purple Rose?" Dec 19 14:33:46 * Morgan nods Dec 19 14:35:14 OtherSailor: I was on that Dec 19 14:35:55 When he had it crewed to go back to Avalon? Dec 19 14:36:24 *he nods* Dec 19 14:36:42 * Morgan nods slowly Dec 19 14:37:54 What did you think of his decision to sink her? Dec 19 14:39:45 OS: didn't see it coming. Thought he was wooing the old owner Dec 19 14:40:47 He was trying. She wasn't interested. Dec 19 14:42:00 OS: seemed like a waste of a good ship Dec 19 14:42:24 * Morgan nods Dec 19 14:42:35 His actions were petty and cruel. Dec 19 14:44:13 OS: *he nods* gotta take rejection with good grace Dec 19 14:44:37 * Sailor grins "you'd know, you get practice in every port!" Dec 19 14:45:24 * Morgan watches them, taking some paper from a pocket and writing a name and address before holding it up, writing towards him Dec 19 14:46:33 Something I want you to understand before I say the next thing... I chased him down, the length of Avalon, to bring him to face justice for his actions against a common working girl... My crew knows that if they act like pirates, they'll be treated like one... Dec 19 14:47:07 *they all nod* Dec 19 14:47:22 * Morgan puts the piece of paper down on the table Dec 19 14:48:24 Go see Witts, tell him I sent you for work. There's a ship will need a crew. The work is hard but the pay is fair, and I will -not- tolerate any sort of piracy or cruelty to others. Dec 19 14:49:37 * Sailor looks at him "yes, sir, thank you" Dec 19 14:50:07 Its a shame for good sailors to go to waste. Dec 19 14:51:26 *they all look happy* Dec 19 14:51:33 Another drink? Dec 19 14:52:13 No, thank you... We leave early tomorrow, I'd best get back and rested... a ship that size doesn't sail herself Dec 19 14:53:34 It was nice to meet you, mister...? Dec 19 14:53:45 Koertig... Morgan. Dec 19 14:54:08 *the sailors look much more deferential now* Dec 19 14:54:14 Yes, my Lord Dec 19 14:55:09 Pack it in, right now I'm just a sailor. Take care gentlemen, hopefully before long you'll be back on the water Dec 19 14:56:30 *they all wish him well* Dec 19 14:56:54 * Morgan inclines his head, finishing his drink quickly before heading back outside, heading back to his ship Dec 19 14:57:56 * Sailor is now known as HH Dec 19 14:58:15 Thought you'd decided t' be th' messenger yerself! Dec 19 14:58:26 Got talking to some of Dau's old crew Dec 19 14:59:21 Ahh, gossipin' Dec 19 15:00:08 Something like. Gave them instructions to see Witts. Its not right that good sailors are stuck unloading cargo all the time Dec 19 15:02:26 Trust 'em? Dec 19 15:03:08 Before they knew who I was they were talking about Dau being mental... they seem on the level Dec 19 15:04:26 * HH nods Dec 19 15:04:49 Theus knows y' need as many men as y' can get Dec 19 15:05:00 * Morgan nods Dec 19 15:05:49 aye. Thinking I'll keep whoever Sorgi has in training in mind for progressing to their own ship... Dec 19 15:06:19 * HH nods Dec 19 15:06:36 If I wasn' a married man, I'd do it Dec 19 15:07:14 * Morgan nods Dec 19 15:07:40 But y'are... Molly says she's going to let me travel, sail... Dec 19 15:09:57 Let you?! Dec 19 15:10:09 Not object to... Dec 19 15:10:14 Not try to stop me... Dec 19 15:11:18 You goin' to? Dec 19 15:11:24 * Morgan shrugs Dec 19 15:11:37 Tough to say. Dec 19 15:12:30 I don' think I could leave Inga an' my babes that long, but never say never, eh? Dec 19 15:12:56 * Morgan nods Dec 19 15:13:02 Tough to consider Dec 19 15:14:49 * HH nods Dec 19 15:15:28 I don' wanna be like our Da's were, y' know? Dec 19 15:16:07 * Morgan nods Dec 19 15:16:12 You wanna be there Dec 19 15:17:08 * HH nods Dec 19 15:17:52 I don' wanna miss birthdays and Prophet's Masses. He'll, my Da missed three outta five births! Dec 19 15:18:07 * Morgan nods Dec 19 15:18:17 He'd have hated it Dec 19 15:19:25 * HH nods Dec 19 15:20:33 Yeah, he told my Ma it was the hardest times coming home to another babe that he'd not been there for. Four months old with our Sarah Dec 19 15:21:03 * Morgan nods Dec 19 15:21:12 Then we need to make sure that doesn't happen with you Dec 19 15:21:53 * HH nods Dec 19 15:22:13 Gon' do my best Dec 19 15:22:40 * Morgan nods Dec 19 15:22:42 I know an Dec 19 15:22:47 man* Dec 19 15:24:08 You definitely gotta be there, I hear Dec 19 15:24:20 Oh? Dec 19 15:27:08 You gotta be in the room, Inga says Dec 19 15:27:54 Why? Dec 19 15:28:21 Molly wants you at yer baby's birth Dec 19 15:28:44 * Morgan nods Dec 19 15:28:51 Alright... Dec 19 15:29:46 Can't be any scarier than Elsie's delivery, right? Dec 19 15:30:08 Really? Knowing that the person you could lose could be your wife, or your child? Dec 19 15:30:47 But she ain't gettin' cut open Dec 19 15:30:56 No, I know Dec 19 15:31:28 You scared? Dec 19 15:31:49 * Morgan nods Dec 19 15:31:54 Yeah, absolutely I am Dec 19 15:33:51 Eight times y' gotta do it Dec 19 15:34:21 * Morgan nods Dec 19 15:34:26 Unless there's twins... Dec 19 15:35:33 Hopin' for 'em? Dec 19 15:35:43 * Morgan shrugs Dec 19 15:35:47 Dunno really Dec 19 15:37:47 Gets it over quicker? Dec 19 15:38:16 Yeah, but then there's two of them to keep safe at once Dec 19 15:39:48 * HH nods Dec 19 15:39:58 We'll be there t' help, man Dec 19 15:40:37 * Morgan nods Dec 19 15:40:44 I know man but... you'll have your own hands full Dec 19 15:42:07 * HH nods "yeah, but we've been at War, man. We can handle some kids, right?" Dec 19 15:42:34 * Morgan smiles Dec 19 15:42:38 You'd think so Dec 19 15:43:00 * HH nods Dec 19 15:43:09 Gonna be fun Dec 19 15:44:09 * Morgan nods Dec 19 15:44:43 Reckon Varicks gonn' be really good in a forge, given how strong he already is Dec 19 15:45:03 It'll do him good too Dec 19 15:45:28 I hear you're thinking of getting a fostering about his age? Dec 19 15:45:37 * Morgan nods Dec 19 15:45:46 Someone with the same sort of abilities.. Dec 19 15:47:19 * HH nods Dec 19 15:47:34 Gonna take you up to double digits Dec 19 15:48:04 * Morgan nods Dec 19 15:48:06 Just about, yeah Dec 19 15:50:59 When you thinkin' of doing that? Get them to Hafenlohr and settled in b'fore Molly's pregnant? Dec 19 15:51:12 * Morgan nods Dec 19 15:51:20 Yeah, probably.... It'd make the most sense Dec 19 15:52:33 * HH nods Dec 19 15:52:40 Got plentya space Dec 19 15:53:19 That much is very true... I'm looking forward to being there Dec 19 15:54:29 * HH nods "me too, man. Get some designs drawn up, start building. Ready to settle in to our new home, y' know?" Dec 19 15:54:47 * Morgan nods Dec 19 15:55:00 Not too late to hop a carriage back there, if you wanted to... Dec 19 15:56:45 Nah, I'm good. Wanna get a good tan" Dec 19 15:57:43 * Morgan looks at him seriously Dec 19 15:57:45 You sure? Dec 19 15:58:07 You an' Molly need us Dec 19 15:58:28 Always but... we're asking so much of you Dec 19 15:58:49 Tha's what friends are for Dec 19 15:58:57 * Morgan nods Dec 19 15:59:00 Alright then Dec 19 15:59:41 'Sides, I wanna see Inga walkin' round in the skimpy stuff the ladies wear down there Dec 19 15:59:54 Now -that- makes more sense Dec 19 16:00:02 * HH grins Dec 19 16:00:06 Yep Dec 19 16:01:46 Think you pair can behave in public places if she's dressed like that? Dec 19 16:02:08 I make no promises in that regard Dec 19 16:02:40 Gi'en that you can't behave in winter in Ussura fully dressed, it don't bode well Dec 19 16:02:56 I have no idea what you're talking about Dec 19 16:03:45 Weird, b'cause Inga does Dec 19 16:04:06 Oh? Dec 19 16:05:30 An alleyway. Tut tut, Morgan. *he grins* Dec 19 16:06:29 Shocking behaviour really Dec 19 16:07:12 * HH nods Dec 19 16:07:56 You pair bounce from conflict to coitus faster than the speed o' light Dec 19 16:09:16 Its not the wrongest you've ever been Dec 19 16:10:02 * HH nods Dec 19 16:10:41 I guess that's what happens when yer both passionate people Dec 19 16:10:56 * Morgan shrugs Dec 19 16:10:58 Suppose so Dec 19 16:13:23 Hopefully we're done with the conflict for a few weeks Dec 19 16:14:22 * Morgan nods Dec 19 16:14:25 I hope so, I really do Dec 19 16:16:04 Concentrate on the other bit Dec 19 16:16:12 * Morgan nods Dec 19 16:16:13 Trying to man Dec 19 16:16:41 Not gonna be able to do it from up here, unless you really are a grower not a shower Dec 19 16:17:16 * Morgan nods, punching his arm before heading down to his cabin Dec 19 16:17:34 * HH is now known as Molly Dec 19 16:17:49 * Molly and Inga can be heard giggling from inside Dec 19 16:17:57 * Morgan slows Dec 19 16:19:25 That one was a close call, being on the river it was difficult to know exactly which Konigsreich it was! Dec 19 16:20:19 * Morgan opens the door, humming to himself Dec 19 16:20:45 * Molly and Inga are sat on the couch drinking wine Dec 19 16:21:25 * Molly smiles "do you want to join us? I didn't think you'd be back so soon" Dec 19 16:21:43 * Morgan nods, going to pour himself some scotch before sitting down Dec 19 16:23:17 * Molly fidgets until she's resting against him Dec 19 16:23:49 Then Freiburg was our final one. It took us twelve weeks I think Dec 19 16:24:29 * Morgan sips his scotch, closing his eyes a moment Dec 19 16:24:39 *Inga nods* This was our last, that's about five months since we got married Dec 19 16:26:01 It seems so much longer than that! It'll be your six month anniversary in a few weeks. *In a week and a half, it would have been Morgan and Dietlinde's six -year- anniversary* Dec 19 16:26:27 * Morgan swirls the liquid in his glass, watching it Dec 19 16:27:43 *Inga nods* Do you think Heinzharold will realise, or should I subtly remind him? Dec 19 16:28:05 Remind him... Dec 19 16:33:04 I: I probably should, he can be forgetful about dates Dec 19 16:39:01 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Dec 19 16:42:13 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 19 22:35:32 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Dec 19 22:40:31 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Dec 19 22:40:41 [16:19:11] Molly: I: I probably should, he can be forgetful about dates Dec 19 22:42:04 * Morgan shrugs slightly Dec 19 22:42:17 Would you like me to? Dec 19 22:43:05 I: would you mind? Dec 19 22:44:04 Of course not Dec 19 22:45:06 I: thank you Dec 19 22:45:58 * Morgan nods, sipping his scotch Dec 19 22:46:20 So how does it feel, having all seven checked off? Dec 19 22:47:00 *Inga smiles* it's quite fun to remember what we did where Dec 19 22:49:49 * Morgan nods Dec 19 22:51:48 *Inga finishes her wine* I will say goodnight, and get some rest before Heinzharold accidentally wakes me Dec 19 22:52:42 * Morgan nods Dec 19 22:52:46 Goodnight Inga Dec 19 22:54:53 *Inga and Molly say goodnight before the former goes. Molly shifts, lying on her back with her head in his lap, watching up at him* Dec 19 22:55:10 Did you run out of work, my love? Dec 19 22:55:37 I went into the port to find a messenger... then... I encountered some of Dau's old crew Dec 19 22:56:37 Oh? Dec 19 22:57:07 * MollyK smiles "could you...?" *she pats her crown* Dec 19 22:57:24 * Morgan nods, shifting to start rubbing her scalp with his fingertips Dec 19 22:59:11 They invited me for a drink before realising who I am... chatted about Dau, his actions, their jobs... Dec 19 23:00:31 Mmmhmmm *she closes her eyes, smiling* did you learn anything of interest? Dec 19 23:00:58 They thought he was mental... their words... Dec 19 23:02:04 They aren't entirely wrong. Normal people do not do those things Dec 19 23:02:45 No... they were very surprised when he chose to sink the Rose Dec 19 23:04:43 * MollyK sighs Dec 19 23:04:47 We all were Dec 19 23:04:53 * Morgan nods Dec 19 23:05:03 I've left them instructions to go see Witts Dec 19 23:05:16 You're hiring them? Dec 19 23:05:51 * Morgan nods Dec 19 23:06:22 Sailors shouldn't be stuck hauling cargo on and off of ships for a living Dec 19 23:08:29 Can you show me them? Dec 19 23:08:59 * Morgan frowns slightly before concentrating, showing her images of them Dec 19 23:14:11 * MollyK nods Dec 19 23:15:41 I've seen a few of them before. One of them helped me tie off a sail, and another told me when my bootlace was untied Dec 19 23:17:23 I may have taken the opportunity to impress upon them the sort of behaviour I expect Dec 19 23:17:31 * MollyK smiles Dec 19 23:17:35 That's wise Dec 19 23:17:53 * Morgan nods Dec 19 23:19:47 We know they're well trained, competent and also able to fight... they'd be a benefit Dec 19 23:20:53 * Morgan nods Dec 19 23:20:55 indeed Dec 19 23:22:05 I'm also going to speak with those Sorgi is training to take command. If they show aptitude and the skill for it, I'm willing to move some to their own command... Dec 19 23:23:43 * MollyK nods Dec 19 23:23:47 Mmhmm good idea Dec 19 23:25:09 * Morgan nods Dec 19 23:25:19 I thought so.... Something Koen said stuck with me Dec 19 23:25:44 What's that? Dec 19 23:27:13 He thanked me... he said he'd gone from being on the streets to having to his own command... -that- is the impact I want to have on people Dec 19 23:27:46 * MollyK smiles Dec 19 23:28:05 That is the sort of man I have always known you are Dec 19 23:28:36 Always? Really? Dec 19 23:29:50 * MollyK nods "I've always felt there was something special about you, even when you were grumpy with me" Dec 19 23:30:21 Huh... Dec 19 23:31:28 * MollyK shrugs "are you staying the night now?" Dec 19 23:31:38 * Morgan nods Dec 19 23:33:37 Did you know there's lingerie in our trunk? Dec 19 23:33:45 I was aware yes Dec 19 23:33:55 I mean new lingerie Dec 19 23:34:08 Yes I know Dec 19 23:34:31 Alright... I wondered if Edward had had it put there Dec 19 23:35:15 No... no I bought it for you when I went to get the wig Dec 19 23:36:56 Oh! I will wear it for you whenever you wish Dec 19 23:37:27 * Morgan nods Dec 19 23:37:49 I couldn't find an appropriate time to give it to you, given what happened in the Empire Dec 19 23:38:57 * MollyK nods sadly Dec 19 23:39:28 It wouldn't have been a bad time for me, my love, I wanted to be close to you Dec 19 23:40:14 I think we've been over that enough Dec 19 23:41:06 * MollyK nods Dec 19 23:41:43 Indeed. I just want to be us again, when we enjoy each other and do not have to think about sad things Dec 19 23:42:05 * Morgan nods, sipping his whiskey Dec 19 23:43:33 * MollyK smiles "are you ready to retire?" Dec 19 23:44:33 Yes, I suppose so Dec 19 23:44:50 We needn't go yet if you aren't Dec 19 23:45:17 No, its fine Dec 19 23:46:26 * MollyK gets up before bending down to kiss him Dec 19 23:48:01 * Morgan kisses her before standing up Dec 19 23:48:05 Come on, lets get to bed Dec 19 23:48:48 * MollyK nods. It doesn't take too long before she's naked beneath the covers Dec 19 23:49:03 Will you wake me if you need me? Dec 19 23:49:23 * Morgan undresses, climbing into bed Dec 19 23:49:34 Aye, if thats what you want Dec 19 23:51:05 * MollyK nods Dec 19 23:51:12 I want to take care of you... Dec 19 23:52:29 * Morgan nods Dec 19 23:52:33 I know love Dec 19 23:55:10 * MollyK watches him, biting her lip Dec 19 23:55:30 Could I do so now? If there's anything you need of me...? Dec 19 23:56:36 * Morgan nods Dec 19 23:56:46 Perhaps you could finish what you started in Ussura? Dec 19 23:58:01 * MollyK smiles Dec 19 23:58:23 I'll get dressed and ready to go on the dock then? Dec 19 23:59:10 You know thats not what I meant Dec 19 23:59:29 I do, but it's irresistible
