**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Dec 21 13:40:59 2022 Dec 21 13:40:59 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Dec 21 14:15:14 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Dec 21 14:15:25 [22:33:09] Molly: *the sound of a final plate being smashed wakes him up* Dec 21 14:18:01 * Morgan sighs, getting gently out of bed Dec 21 14:18:20 * MollyK stirs "are you alright?" Dec 21 14:19:08 * Morgan nods Dec 21 14:19:14 Aye. Dec 21 14:19:34 You're going already? Dec 21 14:20:20 aye. I want to get some coffee Dec 21 14:20:57 Alright, my love. If you need me I'm right here Dec 21 14:22:26 * Morgan nods, pulling his clothes on before heading to the galley to make coffee Dec 21 14:22:47 *it's all quiet, only about five o'clock* Dec 21 14:24:17 * Morgan takes his coffee onto the deck, climbing into the rigging and getting comfortable Dec 21 14:26:33 * MollyK is now known as Claudia Dec 21 14:26:42 * Claudia comes up to join him Dec 21 14:26:47 Morning Dec 21 14:28:36 hey Dec 21 14:29:29 Sorgi reckons we could see snow today Dec 21 14:30:12 * Morgan nods Dec 21 14:30:21 That'll make a nice change from our time in Graben... Dec 21 14:30:58 * Claudia nods Dec 21 14:31:04 Good night? Dec 21 14:31:25 * Morgan shrugs Dec 21 14:31:29 dreams Dec 21 14:36:46 Anything we need to look out for? Dec 21 14:37:32 No, not at all Dec 21 14:39:54 * Claudia shrugs Dec 21 14:40:02 Wanna talk about it? Dec 21 14:41:05 * Morgan sighs before shaking his head Dec 21 14:42:24 * Claudia nods, offering him her flask Dec 21 14:42:36 Sounds rough then Dec 21 14:42:46 * Morgan takes it, drinking some Dec 21 14:43:07 Not especially... just... questioning myself Dec 21 14:43:57 * Claudia nods "yeah, I know how that is" Dec 21 14:45:06 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Dec 21 14:46:57 Anything I can do? Dec 21 14:48:42 I'll be alright Dec 21 14:49:06 * Claudia nods Dec 21 14:49:21 Tell someone if you start to struggle Dec 21 14:50:03 I'll think about it... I've already upset Molly over it the other day Dec 21 14:51:23 Tell me or Heinzharold then, save yourself the hassle Dec 21 14:52:29 I will do if I need to Dec 21 14:54:39 * Claudia nods Dec 21 14:55:00 Why are we docking in Montaigne tonight? Dec 21 14:56:05 HeinzHarold is ticking off Konigsreichs, we've moved on to countries... Dec 21 14:56:51 We're docking so you can have sex in Montaigne? Dec 21 15:00:05 * Morgan nods Dec 21 15:00:11 We'll top off our provisions too Dec 21 15:00:23 * Claudia nods Dec 21 15:00:41 Is it the draw tomorrow too? Dec 21 15:02:38 * Morgan nods Dec 21 15:02:39 yeah Dec 21 15:06:01 Wonderful (!) Dec 21 15:06:41 Gonn' try to get it out the way as early as possible Dec 21 15:09:41 * Claudia nods Dec 21 15:10:05 Makes sense, before everyone starts losing their sense Dec 21 15:10:18 * Morgan nods Dec 21 15:10:25 I'm sorry you have to feel it Dec 21 15:11:41 * Claudia shrugs Dec 21 15:11:56 It's only a problem because of you really Dec 21 15:13:12 Oh? Dec 21 15:16:07 I wouldn't be as troubled being attracted to a woman not married to one of my best friends Dec 21 15:16:52 * Morgan nods Dec 21 15:17:03 Try not to feel bad about it... its only for a short while Dec 21 15:17:52 * Claudia nods "I've felt worse" Dec 21 15:18:19 Its Inga I feel most sorry for Dec 21 15:19:21 Yeah, that must suck Dec 21 15:19:32 * Morgan nods Dec 21 15:19:35 yeah Dec 21 15:21:56 She really suffers over it? Dec 21 15:22:23 Knowing her husband feels that sort of attraction, lust for another... even if he can't help it... Dec 21 15:24:46 * Claudia nods Dec 21 15:25:10 There's no way to stop it for good? Dec 21 15:26:34 Don't even know if it'll stop once she's pregnant... but given thats the purpose of it, I would hope so Dec 21 15:27:49 * Claudia nods Dec 21 15:28:04 Better hurry up and do that then Dec 21 15:28:14 * Morgan nods Dec 21 15:28:25 Gotta wait for the herbs to stop affecting her... Dec 21 15:30:46 * Claudia nods "if not, Heinzharold and Inga will be spared it when we go to Capperlucia a second time" Dec 21 15:31:06 * Morgan nods Dec 21 15:31:20 At least Sebastien will be far enough to not feel it Dec 21 15:34:50 * Claudia shrugs "he doesn't have a wife it'll bother" Dec 21 15:36:05 No, but... imagine feeling that for someone who's not even nearby... someone you aren't really attracted to... but you have no idea -why- you're feeling it Dec 21 15:37:57 Assuming he isn't attracted to her. She's hardly the worst looking woman in the world Dec 21 15:38:57 Even so... and I suspect he feels the draw worse than most... than almost all people.... And he feels it at a greater distance Dec 21 15:41:37 Like you when we went looking for Dau? Dec 21 15:42:11 * Morgan nods Dec 21 15:42:22 Sebastien feels it up to about a hundred miles... Dec 21 15:43:32 That's quite a distance Dec 21 15:44:00 * Morgan smiles slightly before sipping his coffee Dec 21 15:45:03 What's the reasoning Dec 21 15:46:46 For the distance? Because if I'm dead, he has to take my place. He needs to be drawn from wherever he might be... Dec 21 15:47:38 That's creepy Dec 21 15:47:56 Necessary, given what's at stake. Dec 21 15:50:02 You're okay with that now? Dec 21 15:50:40 I've managed to draw certain concessions from the Nieblungen on it Dec 21 15:52:07 Like? Dec 21 15:53:05 Like... they won't force any sort of feelings to develop between them... I don't think that would've gone well, had Molly started having feelings for him so soon after I die... Dec 21 15:53:41 But she's going to eventually if you do? Dec 21 15:54:18 She might, but if she does, they'll be because she has those feelings for him, not because the Nieblungen have meddled Dec 21 15:59:02 * Claudia nods "that's fair" Dec 21 15:59:14 * Morgan nods Dec 21 15:59:59 I managed to get them to agree to let him find love on his own... though, the feelings on his part if I die... I'm still working on them for that Dec 21 16:02:22 You don't want him abandoning a family because he's attracted to Molly Dec 21 16:02:41 No... at the same time, if I die he absolutely must take my place Dec 21 16:04:08 That's a bit contradictory Dec 21 16:05:33 Not really... I've had their blessing to tell him all about it, so... it'd be a duty thing... Dec 21 16:06:30 Is that what you'd want for her? Dec 21 16:08:06 I'd want her to be happy... but for its own sake, not because she's been made to be... but there needs to be children. Dec 21 16:10:02 Sounds miserable to me Dec 21 16:10:16 Necessary... thats what needs to be kept in mind Dec 21 16:11:48 * Claudia shrugs "I don't like the idea of any woman having sex just for duty, but that's just me" Dec 21 16:12:05 I know... but with what's at stake... Dec 21 16:13:44 * Claudia nods "guess so." Dec 21 16:14:27 Its also why if it ever comes down to a choice of saving me or her... she must be saved. Dec 21 16:15:59 You don't get to decide that for me Dec 21 16:16:17 * Morgan looks at her Dec 21 16:16:36 If I die, things can be saved... if -she- dies... its all over. Dec 21 16:18:43 I don't want to lose you, Morgan. Not again. Dec 21 16:19:21 * Morgan nods Dec 21 16:19:47 I know... but if we lose her, we lose everything. Dec 21 16:20:43 * Claudia sighs Dec 21 16:20:48 Fucks sake. Dec 21 16:21:08 * Morgan holds out his hand Dec 21 16:21:27 * Claudia hands the flask over Dec 21 16:21:40 * Morgan moves the flask to his other hand, holding his hand out again Dec 21 16:23:03 * Claudia puts her hand in his Dec 21 16:23:10 * Morgan squeezes it Dec 21 16:23:55 It'll take an awful lot to pull me from you again... even dying didn't do it, and. I've no intention of doing that again... I promise you I will fight to the last breath to stay... and probably a bit after that too. Dec 21 16:25:48 * Claudia nods Dec 21 16:26:09 You better, because when I get to heaven I will kick the shit out of you otherwise Dec 21 16:26:52 * Morgan nods, giving her hand another squeeze before letting go, opening the flask Dec 21 16:28:05 How does she feel about all that responsibility? Dec 21 16:29:02 * Morgan takes a long pull on the flask before handing it back Dec 21 16:30:04 Uhhh... fairly stunned, finding out what's at stake, yeah Dec 21 16:32:22 * Claudia nods Dec 21 16:32:31 It's a big weight to carry Dec 21 16:32:49 * Morgan nods Dec 21 16:33:52 She, uhh... isn't aware of what happens if she dies... Dec 21 16:35:09 I won't say anything Dec 21 16:35:21 * Morgan nods Dec 21 16:35:22 Thank you Dec 21 16:35:44 * Morgan shakes himself Dec 21 16:35:53 You got any idea who Sorgi has in mind to train up? Dec 21 16:37:46 *she lists three names, all men he vaguely knows through former service* Dec 21 16:38:07 * Morgan nods slowly Dec 21 16:38:10 I want to speak to them Dec 21 16:39:51 * Claudia nods "I'll see to it for today" Dec 21 16:40:12 * Morgan nods Dec 21 16:41:03 Thanks... I hadn't realised Koen was on the streets before coming to work for me Dec 21 16:43:27 It's been tough times. At least in service we were fed Dec 21 16:44:29 * Morgan nods Dec 21 16:48:07 You've got plenty of scope to give work now Dec 21 16:48:29 We're slowly making a difference... Dec 21 16:51:21 * Claudia nods Dec 21 16:51:30 Eisen's getting stronger Dec 21 16:52:13 * Morgan nods, looking at her Dec 21 16:52:18 Why me? Dec 21 16:54:32 Why you what? Dec 21 16:55:33 Why do I have to do this? Why not someone better than me, less broken... Dec 21 16:55:50 The world, not the fleet? Dec 21 16:57:08 * Morgan nods Dec 21 16:58:17 The fleets easy... thats because I wanted one and could afford it Dec 21 16:59:22 Maybe it's because of her? Dec 21 17:00:55 * Morgan drains his cup, moving until he's hanging upside down from the rigging Dec 21 17:01:39 Cant change it... just gotta do my best Dec 21 17:02:09 * Claudia nods Dec 21 17:02:31 If it helps, I couldn't pick anyone better Dec 21 17:03:07 I'm only so good because of the people I'm surrounded by Dec 21 17:06:13 Horseshit Dec 21 17:07:00 * Morgan shrugs Dec 21 17:07:10 You don't think I hold myself accountable to you? Dec 21 17:08:39 Why would you? Dec 21 17:09:39 I have a strong desire not to disappoint any of you... of course, thats a bit different with you... Dec 21 17:09:52 Because I'm so disagreeable? Dec 21 17:10:46 No... my primary concern is to never have you question whether or not you can trust me... to never make you question my motives. I know I disappoint you by not beating the living shit out of people who probably deserve it. Dec 21 17:11:28 * Morgan reaches up, tucking his shirt back in to his trousers Dec 21 17:12:19 You don't disappoint me. You just have different principles to me, but you stick to them as hard as I do to mine Dec 21 17:13:41 If it makes any odds... I don't -like- not dealing out a bit of brutal justice when its deserved... I just have to be aware of the repercussions further down the line, what impact it could have on my goals Dec 21 17:14:51 * Claudia nods Dec 21 17:14:55 Makes sense Dec 21 17:15:38 Of course... there are occasions when I -have- done so anyway and its haunted me... and been potentially very dangerous, politically. Dec 21 17:17:07 That's the problem of being noble Dec 21 17:17:33 Oh I think it'd be worse if it'd been you... Dec 21 17:19:09 Why's that? Dec 21 17:19:32 * Morgan looks down at the deck, checking noones in earshot Dec 21 17:19:44 Because I killed someone... someone... important. Dec 21 17:20:16 So? Dec 21 17:20:42 I killed a Freiarrin Dec 21 17:23:02 When? Dec 21 17:23:45 Just before Dietlinde's birthday Dec 21 17:24:10 Why? Dec 21 17:24:39 Because... as much as I thought myself a monster for it since, she was -evil-. Dec 21 17:24:52 She made Alarice look well adjusted Dec 21 17:25:47 Sounds like she deserved it then Dec 21 17:27:05 I wouldn't have done it if I didn't think so... but I've found out since how many people were harmed because of her... Dec 21 17:27:39 * Claudia nods "Anyone know it was you?" Dec 21 17:28:19 Two, now... not including you, Molly or HeinzHarold Dec 21 17:28:57 * Claudia nods Dec 21 17:29:07 Will it stay quiet? Dec 21 17:29:38 * Morgan nods Dec 21 17:30:07 One of them I trust, the other... would rather forget all about it Dec 21 17:32:11 * Claudia nods Dec 21 17:32:46 Some people have to go before they do more harm. Regardless of rank. Dec 21 17:33:30 * Morgan nods Dec 21 17:33:50 It wasn't self defence... but god she had to be stopped Dec 21 17:34:27 * Claudia nods Dec 21 17:34:31 Good work then Dec 21 17:35:11 Feel a bit less like a monster since I found out how bad she was... Dec 21 17:35:36 It's not monsterous to put monsters in the ground, it's righteous. Dec 21 17:35:52 * Morgan shrugs Dec 21 17:36:05 I murdered a woman... felt pretty monstrous to me Dec 21 17:36:34 You put down a threat Dec 21 17:37:06 Yeah... working on accepting that. Dec 21 17:37:21 * Morgan moves his legs so he starts swinging gently, tucking in his shirt again Dec 21 17:38:57 Would accept it if me or Heinzharold had done it? Dec 21 17:39:12 * Morgan nods Dec 21 17:39:15 Of course Dec 21 17:40:53 There you go then Dec 21 17:41:56 The dreams from the Ashkoven... sort of stuck a bit... he smiles* told Sorgi I think I'm a monster... didn't try to convince me otherwise, just said he disagrees but respects my right to be wrong Dec 21 17:42:54 * Claudia smiles Dec 21 17:43:01 Yeah, sounds like Sorgi Dec 21 17:44:40 * Morgan nods Dec 21 17:46:07 She made Dau look like a saint... Dec 21 17:46:23 How is that even possible?! Dec 21 17:48:28 When I was really struggling with it... Molly asked the Nieblungen how many people she had had harmed... Dec 21 17:49:01 A lot? Dec 21 17:49:55 * Morgan nods Dec 21 17:50:04 I was -horrified- when I heard Dec 21 17:51:17 Must be bad Dec 21 17:51:41 * Morgan nods Dec 21 17:52:03 Like I said, she made Dau look positively saintly Dec 21 17:54:33 The things he did to Elsie were disgusting Dec 21 17:56:31 * Morgan nods Dec 21 17:57:12 And yet, she was much -much- worse Dec 21 18:00:26 * Claudia has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 21 18:57:26 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Dec 21 19:07:55 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Dec 21 19:07:59 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Dec 21 19:08:08 * MollyK is now known as Claudia Dec 21 19:08:27 A lot? Dec 21 19:08:28 * Morgan nods Dec 21 19:08:28 I was -horrified- when I heard Dec 21 19:08:28 Must be bad Dec 21 19:08:28 * Morgan nods Dec 21 19:08:29 Like I said, she made Dau look positively saintly Dec 21 19:08:31 The things he did to Elsie were disgusting Dec 21 19:08:33 * Morgan nods Dec 21 19:08:35 And yet, she was much -much- worse Dec 21 19:09:09 I don't see how it's physically possible Dec 21 19:09:58 Are you sure you want to know? Dec 21 19:12:01 * Claudia takes a deep breath Dec 21 19:12:03 Yeah Dec 21 19:13:33 If the tenants struggled to pay their rents, she had her collectors force themselves on them, as a group... from old women down to toddlers... her victims number, just, into four digits. We encountered her collectors in the act... on the woman we stopped with when the coach broke... Dec 21 19:14:24 *she quietly says* Jesus, Morgan. Dec 21 19:15:16 Didn't find the numbers out, the depth of her depravity until recently... she called her people cattle, broodmares... I tried to reason with her, scare her... nothing worked. Dec 21 19:15:55 * Claudia just nods Dec 21 19:16:37 Only time I ever thought Sorgi was going to hit me Dec 21 19:17:29 Why? Dec 21 19:17:48 I had him wait outside... I think he thought I was going to let it pass Dec 21 19:19:05 * Claudia nods Dec 21 19:19:14 He hates anything like that Dec 21 19:19:21 * Morgan nods Dec 21 19:19:26 Aye, I noticed Dec 21 19:20:40 * Claudia shudders "toddlers. Fucking hell. I've never heard anything this bad" Dec 21 19:21:46 * Morgan nods, clearing his throat Dec 21 19:22:03 Even when I took her life... I had no idea it was -that- bad... Dec 21 19:27:05 But you knew about the gang rape. That was enough. Dec 21 19:27:48 Knew about? No... we heard her, interrupted it... we -saw- it Dec 21 19:32:26 * Claudia nods grimly Dec 21 19:33:35 Sorry you had to see it Dec 21 19:34:58 In some ways I'm glad I did... so I could put a stop to it Dec 21 19:35:18 * Claudia nods "yeah" Dec 21 19:38:27 You know I dealt with all the men, right? Dec 21 19:38:47 Obviously Dec 21 19:39:10 * Morgan nods Dec 21 19:39:15 good Dec 21 19:39:44 * Morgan goes back to swinging side to side, eventually giving up tucking his shirt in Dec 21 19:40:05 You'll freeze your nipples off Dec 21 19:40:29 I'll be alright... can barely feel it anyway Dec 21 19:40:45 Useless anyway Dec 21 19:42:08 You'd think so... apparently the men do the nursing in Capperlucia Dec 21 19:42:24 With what? They don't have bubbies? Dec 21 19:42:44 They take herbs, makes em produce milk, I think Dec 21 19:42:57 That's weird Dec 21 19:43:36 * Morgan nods Dec 21 19:43:38 Isn't it Dec 21 19:43:56 Why would they want to?! Dec 21 19:44:43 The women are busy running things apparently Dec 21 19:45:17 We cannot tell Heinzharold! Dec 21 19:46:04 Hed never leave his room if he could have his own bubbies Dec 21 19:46:24 All our coffee would be laced with it Dec 21 19:46:35 * Morgan nods Dec 21 19:46:39 Very true Dec 21 19:47:07 Or he'd squirt it at us Dec 21 19:47:35 Thats a given Dec 21 19:47:54 He'd be a nightmare Dec 21 19:48:28 * Morgan nods Dec 21 19:48:33 Yep, absolutely Dec 21 19:49:16 But if we don't say anything he is going to freak out when he sees it Dec 21 19:49:46 Tell him when we arrive, so he doesn't have time to get any ideas Dec 21 19:50:17 Heinzharold getting ideas takes half a second at most Dec 21 19:50:49 * Morgan nods Dec 21 19:50:55 Doesn't have to go through too many braincells Dec 21 19:51:03 * Claudia laughs Dec 21 19:51:07 Yeah Dec 21 19:54:51 God I want to get moving Dec 21 19:57:03 It's still dark Dec 21 19:57:25 Is it? Hadn't noticed... Dec 21 19:58:25 * Claudia laughs Dec 21 19:58:38 You're always desperate to be somewhere else Dec 21 19:58:55 Not... exactly... Dec 21 20:02:01 You're not desperate for this to be over so you can be at Hafenlohr then? Dec 21 20:02:19 I'm looking forward to being back there, yeah... but no... I want to sail... Dec 21 20:06:06 * Claudia nods "another few days til we're at sea properly" Dec 21 20:07:11 * Morgan nods Dec 21 20:07:34 Being on the river isn't too bad... but once we're out to sea, we're going to see just how fast she goes Dec 21 20:08:26 * Claudia nods "gonna be good" Dec 21 20:09:08 * Morgan nods Dec 21 20:16:47 * Claudia gets down soon after, readying the crew before Sorgi comes up. With no shift today, he's not got any work, and the ship moves out of dock as soon as it's light Dec 21 20:17:33 * Morgan stands at the guard rail, watching back along the side of the ship as she moves from the dock Dec 21 20:18:42 *it's very smooth. Soon they're on the river again, dawn passing behind them as they chase the night* Dec 21 20:19:47 * Morgan climbs high in the rigging, watching the traffic on the river for a while before dropping back down to the deck rapidly Dec 21 20:20:59 [my love, is everything alright?] Dec 21 20:21:35 [fine love. Just watching the river go by] Dec 21 20:22:09 [i was expecting to see you, that's all] Dec 21 20:22:57 * Morgan heads below, picking up coffee before heading to his cabin Dec 21 20:23:20 * Claudia is now known as Molly Dec 21 20:24:14 *it's all quiet, and she's just finishing her hair, wearing trousers today* good morning, my love Dec 21 20:25:53 It definitely is, yes Dec 21 20:27:09 * Molly smiles Dec 21 20:27:23 What has you finding it so good? Dec 21 20:28:16 We're sailing... I spent some time hanging from the rigging, talking to Claudia... Dec 21 20:29:30 * Molly smiles Dec 21 20:29:51 I'm glad you're happy Dec 21 20:30:17 * Morgan nods Dec 21 20:30:25 And you? You are well? Dec 21 20:31:43 I am. I dreamt of what we did in Westfeld Dec 21 20:32:42 Oh? Dec 21 20:33:29 * Molly smiles "it was very pleasant. Did you dream something as nice?" Dec 21 20:33:54 * Morgan shrugs, sipping his coffee Dec 21 20:35:47 * Molly watches him "oh" Dec 21 20:38:39 Not what you're thinking... but you weren't sure you wanted to know anyway Dec 21 20:39:43 I think it's best if I do Dec 21 20:39:50 Why? Dec 21 20:40:14 I do not like us having secrets Dec 21 20:40:58 * Morgan nods Dec 21 20:45:02 In that thread.... We had a polterabend.... HeinzHarold brought Dietlinde as his guest... she and I danced and she was asking a lot of questions about if it was love at first sight, if I'd felt the world shift... and then the dance ended and that Molly and I smashed the plate, thirteen pieces Dec 21 20:45:28 * Molly nods thoughtfully Dec 21 20:45:46 Thirteen is a lot Dec 21 20:46:21 * Morgan nods Dec 21 20:47:00 Interestingly... that Molly asked if I was attracted to Dietlinde, stating she would not be faithful to a man not faithful to her... turns out she'd had a dream... Dec 21 20:53:48 A dream of being unfaithful to you? Dec 21 20:54:38 No... a dream of -us- Dec 21 20:55:56 * Molly looks intrigued Dec 21 20:56:02 That really is odd! Dec 21 20:56:28 * Morgan nods Dec 21 20:56:30 Isn't it just Dec 21 20:57:14 Like us, here? On this path? Dec 21 20:57:58 * Morgan nods Dec 21 20:58:00 exactly Dec 21 20:58:13 Huh. How strange! Dec 21 21:00:02 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Dec 21 21:00:06 I thought so Dec 21 21:01:28 * Molly nods "it was better than you feared?" Dec 21 21:02:02 * Morgan nods Dec 21 21:02:04 yes Dec 21 21:04:00 * Molly smiles Dec 21 21:04:16 Good, I am glad that you are not hurt further Dec 21 21:04:55 * Morgan nods Dec 21 21:05:01 It isn't finished yet... Dec 21 21:07:00 Oh... you think you might still... get carried away? *she watches him* Dec 21 21:07:50 I don't think so... but I'm wary, my judgement has already been shown to be... unreliable Dec 21 21:08:15 * Molly nods Dec 21 21:08:35 Do you think she was asking if you'd felt that with her? Dec 21 21:08:55 * Morgan nods Dec 21 21:08:57 Yes, I do Dec 21 21:11:06 * Molly nods Dec 21 21:11:23 Were you honest? Dec 21 21:11:47 I told the truth as to the questions she asked Dec 21 21:12:02 * Molly smiles slightly Dec 21 21:12:24 That's not the same... it's truthful, but not honest, I think Dec 21 21:13:20 I did not lie Dec 21 21:14:39 No, you do not lie. You're just very frugal with the truth Dec 21 21:17:19 sometimes Dec 21 21:18:05 * Molly nods Dec 21 21:18:18 Were you truthful with that version of me too? Dec 21 21:19:43 * Morgan nods Dec 21 21:20:51 * Molly nods "Was she very distressed?" Dec 21 21:22:02 She was quite anxious... I admitted I was attracted to Dietlinde but that infidelity is not something that is done in my family Dec 21 21:23:28 * Molly nods Dec 21 21:24:02 It would be scary, being unmarried and with child Dec 21 21:25:23 * Morgan nods Dec 21 21:25:26 Yes, I imagine so Dec 21 21:26:15 There was still to be a marriage though? Dec 21 21:26:27 * Morgan nods Dec 21 21:26:29 yes Dec 21 21:26:46 I suppose you would have been rather trapped with the baby Dec 21 21:26:56 Perhaps Dec 21 21:28:13 * Molly nods Dec 21 21:28:35 Still, I am just glad nothing happened that you are despairing of today Dec 21 21:28:52 * Morgan nods Dec 21 21:30:43 * Molly holds out her hand to him Dec 21 21:30:52 * Morgan takes it Dec 21 21:30:54 Do you need any comfort at all? Dec 21 21:33:48 Not especially, no Dec 21 21:34:48 * Molly nods, smiling Dec 21 21:35:07 Alright my love, though I would appreciate you holding me a minute Dec 21 21:35:42 * Morgan nods, putting the cup down and moving to hold her tightly Dec 21 21:37:30 * Molly relaxes into his arms, head under his chin Dec 21 21:37:43 I love you, liebes herz, very much Dec 21 21:38:50 And I you, my darling Dec 21 21:39:58 * Molly nods "I know you do" Dec 21 21:41:08 * Morgan nods Dec 21 21:41:09 good Dec 21 21:41:42 * Molly holds him tight Dec 21 21:42:08 I should start getting Varick ready for lessons Dec 21 21:42:48 * Morgan nods Dec 21 21:42:58 Aye, I suppose so... I'm going to talk to a few of the crew today Dec 21 21:44:44 * Molly brings her nose to his neck, inhaling deeply "Are you?" Dec 21 21:45:00 * Morgan nods Dec 21 21:45:06 I want to talk to them about their futures Dec 21 21:47:14 * Molly gently kisses him there before moving back a little "what do you have in mind?" Dec 21 21:47:45 Sorgi is training three of them... I want to find out what it is they wish to achieve Dec 21 21:49:19 * Molly nods Dec 21 21:49:49 That makes sense, my love. I will let you get on with your plans if you are ready? Dec 21 21:50:20 Alright love Dec 21 21:51:43 * Molly smiles, letting go "perhaps you can dream of Westfeld instead tonight? It might help for the sparkliness tomorrow!" Dec 21 21:52:35 We need to plan for that... I would like to get that dealt with as soon as possible Dec 21 21:53:27 * Molly frowns a little Dec 21 21:53:57 We'll do like before and try to trigger it in the night or when you wake for dawn? Dec 21 21:54:44 I know, its not nice to be so clinical about it... I fully intend to revel in it, but... I wish to ease the effects for the others Dec 21 21:55:26 * Molly nods Dec 21 21:55:34 It's practical Dec 21 21:56:14 * Morgan nods Dec 21 21:56:16 yes Dec 21 21:57:24 But yes, it does feel odd to schedule it Dec 21 21:58:22 * Morgan nods Dec 21 21:58:45 I know love... I'm wondering if doing so will remove any feeling that we have no choice about it... Dec 21 21:59:23 That perhaps if we plan for it we can look forward to it? Dec 21 22:00:34 * Morgan nods Dec 21 22:00:36 Aye Dec 21 22:01:41 * Molly smiles Dec 21 22:02:05 I think we can manage that, I am always looking forward to being intimate with you Dec 21 22:02:26 * Morgan nods Dec 21 22:02:30 likewise Dec 21 22:03:31 * Molly smiles, kissing him softly Dec 21 22:03:50 You had best make sure you save your strength then, my love! Dec 21 22:03:59 * Morgan nods Dec 21 22:04:04 I'm sure I can manage Dec 21 22:06:11 * Molly smiles "You do have good stamina..." Dec 21 22:07:57 * Morgan nods Dec 21 22:08:00 Yes indeed Dec 21 22:09:07 The only challenge will be waiting until tomorrow and not just taking me whenever you wish, hmm? *she smiles* Dec 21 22:09:41 * Morgan nods Dec 21 22:09:44 There is that, yes Dec 21 22:10:41 It's a good job I am in trousers and therefore your access is restricted? Dec 21 22:10:56 Aye, probably Dec 21 22:11:37 * Molly kisses him again before letting him go "you'll have to settle for mentally undressing me all day then" Dec 21 22:11:44 * Morgan nods Dec 21 22:11:50 I'll manage with that Dec 21 22:12:18 * Molly keeps his hand as she leads him from the bedroom "and I, you" Dec 21 22:14:00 * Morgan nods Dec 21 22:14:33 * Molly squeezes gently before letting go and going in to Varick's room Dec 21 22:18:16 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
