**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Dec 30 00:00:12 2022 Dec 30 00:00:12 * Morgan nods, sitting down Dec 30 00:02:12 Do you need to talk about it? Dec 30 00:02:23 About... Dec 30 00:04:33 Your dream and your fear that I did not come to you because I was angry Dec 30 00:04:44 If you wish Dec 30 00:07:14 You do not need to worry, my love. Dec 30 00:07:41 No? Dec 30 00:10:26 I am not cross with you at all Dec 30 00:10:39 * Morgan nods slowly Dec 30 00:11:50 I do not really understand why you thought I would be Dec 30 00:12:05 * Morgan sighs Dec 30 00:12:51 I don't know. I've had a realisation that isn't sitting too well with me... Dec 30 00:13:51 * Molly watches him Dec 30 00:14:08 What is that? Dec 30 00:15:55 The Nieblungen made it so that HeinzHarold and Dietlinde would not get together... so that she and I could... in my dream, Sebastien was utterly in love with with her, after a week or so... like he had no choice in it... Dec 30 00:16:38 * Molly just looks confused Dec 30 00:16:46 Right... Dec 30 00:18:35 * Morgan sighs Dec 30 00:19:15 He disappeared one morning, went with her to the clearing, got the priest to marry them... his title be damned... sound familiar? Dec 30 00:20:50 And you're worried that...? Dec 30 00:21:13 * Morgan shakes his head Dec 30 00:21:26 Its why there isn't anyone else for me... she's already died Dec 30 00:22:55 Assuming they are being truthful Dec 30 00:23:44 I think they are. *he smiles slightly* the risk of what we'd do in retaliation is a bit too high Dec 30 00:24:46 * Molly nods Dec 30 00:24:56 Does it upset you? Dec 30 00:25:39 I haven't decided yet. I'm still working through the feelings of saying goodbye Dec 30 00:26:49 * Molly nods Dec 30 00:27:10 Perhaps it's not the last time you'll see her in dreams Dec 30 00:28:03 * Morgan shrugs Dec 30 00:28:11 Its the only one lately Dec 30 00:28:44 * Molly nods Dec 30 00:29:11 I have to ask. If you knew it was a dream, why not wake up rather than prolonging the pain? Dec 30 00:31:23 I never got to say goodbye Dec 30 00:31:56 * Molly nods sadly, squeezing his hand Dec 30 00:32:19 It's so unfair Dec 30 00:32:38 * Morgan nods Dec 30 00:32:48 I thought maybe it would help... give me some closure... Dec 30 00:33:42 But it hasn't? It's just made you wish for more time? Dec 30 00:34:23 I don't know Dec 30 00:36:10 * Molly chews her lip Dec 30 00:36:38 Alright, liebling. Perhaps with a little time you'll gain some more clarity Dec 30 00:37:09 I had hoped it would let me let that last bit I'm holding onto go... does that make sense? Dec 30 00:37:59 * Molly nods Dec 30 00:38:05 Yes, it makes sense Dec 30 00:38:30 I don't know that it has Dec 30 00:39:59 * Molly nods Dec 30 00:40:10 It seems that way Dec 30 00:40:36 * Morgan sighs Dec 30 00:40:43 Maybe it has... maybe this feeling is part of it Dec 30 00:41:54 What exactly is the feeling? Dec 30 00:42:45 * Morgan looks at her, clearly frustrated Dec 30 00:43:16 I don't know. It... it feels like... like I've lost something... but I don't know what Dec 30 00:45:00 Is that from saying goodbye, or from the possibility of a path where she had those same experiences, just not with you? Dec 30 00:45:15 * Morgan shrugs Dec 30 00:45:19 I don't know! Dec 30 00:46:53 * Molly nods Dec 30 00:47:10 Can I help with magic at all? Dec 30 00:47:19 * Morgan shakes his head Dec 30 00:47:30 No... no its all up here... *he taps his head* Dec 30 00:48:53 * Molly nods Dec 30 00:49:38 It's a little risky to swim here. Maybe you'd like to train, or climb the rigging? Or sketch? Dec 30 00:50:18 * Morgan shrugs Dec 30 00:50:23 I'm going to train with Claudia later Dec 30 00:51:42 * Molly nods, watching him Dec 30 00:51:54 That might be helpful for you Dec 30 00:53:55 maybe Dec 30 00:55:14 My heart hurts that I can do nothing to help you or ease your pain Dec 30 00:57:05 I'm sorry love. I really am. Dec 30 00:58:17 * Molly nods "I need something from you" Dec 30 01:00:22 * Morgan watches her Dec 30 01:00:24 alright... Dec 30 01:01:55 I need to know if this is going to change things between us... if your feelings for me are waning in the wake of it Dec 30 01:02:11 * Morgan snatches up her other hand Dec 30 01:02:21 No. Absolutely not. Dec 30 01:02:29 * Molly nods solemnly Dec 30 01:02:43 I am sorry to ask, but it is a concern Dec 30 01:02:52 * Morgan looks hurt Dec 30 01:04:11 I know you wouldn't-choose- for things to change, but hearts are uncontrollable, aren't they? Dec 30 01:04:35 * Morgan starts to scowl Dec 30 01:06:27 That is unfair Dec 30 01:07:24 I am not trying to hurt you, I am trying to express that I feel unsure of myself in this moment Dec 30 01:08:03 * Morgan pulls his hands from hers Dec 30 01:08:47 I have given you reassurance. If that is not enough, I will take my leave. Dec 30 01:09:17 Please, I don't want you to go Dec 30 01:09:58 * Morgan watches her, grinding his teeth for a moment Dec 30 01:11:20 * Molly sighs "this is not going well, is it?" Dec 30 01:11:57 With all that with Sebastien you expected me to just accept what you told me... yet you won't do the same. Dec 30 01:12:41 You're right, I am sorry. I am being emotional and silly, and it is not helpful Dec 30 01:13:20 I have given you the reassurance you have asked for, despite the hurt and confusion I am feeling. What the hell more do you want? Dec 30 01:13:44 Nothing, my love. Please, I am sorry Dec 30 01:16:07 * Morgan rolls his neck Dec 30 01:16:08 fine Dec 30 01:17:20 * Molly sits still "How was being in command?" Dec 30 01:18:02 It went by quite fast... particularly the half hour aiming between those ships Dec 30 01:18:32 * Molly nods Dec 30 01:18:42 That sounds like it was a challenge Dec 30 01:20:41 * Morgan nods Dec 30 01:20:42 It was Dec 30 01:21:09 Did you enjoy it? Dec 30 01:21:25 * Morgan nods Dec 30 01:21:30 Aye. I did. Dec 30 01:21:58 Maybe Sorgi can find you more days Dec 30 01:23:19 maybe... for now anyway... the others will need time to gain experience Dec 30 01:24:12 * Molly nods Dec 30 01:24:31 Would you like me to ask him? I could fetch some tea? Dec 30 01:24:50 If you like... Dec 30 01:27:11 * Molly stands up "is there anything else you'd like me to bring back?" Dec 30 01:28:06 * Morgan shakes his head Dec 30 01:28:13 No, no I don't think so Dec 30 01:29:37 * Molly nods "you wouldn't like me to fetch Heinzharold?" Dec 30 01:29:53 No... Dec 30 01:30:29 * Molly nods Dec 30 01:30:43 I'll be back in five or ten minutes then Dec 30 01:33:55 * Morgan nods Dec 30 01:33:58 I'll be here Dec 30 01:34:48 * Molly nods, going to the door. She opens it quietly Dec 30 01:36:14 * Morgan moves on the couch, curling up at one end Dec 30 01:36:54 *it's about ten minutes later when she comes back with a tea tray* Dec 30 01:38:24 * Morgan watches her from his position on the couch Dec 30 01:38:53 * Molly sets the tray down Dec 30 01:39:25 He says he's happy for you to do more shifts in command if you wish Dec 30 01:39:33 * Morgan nods Dec 30 01:39:35 Might do Dec 30 01:41:21 * Molly nods, watching him Dec 30 01:41:38 Shall I find you a pillow or a blanket? Dec 30 01:41:48 * Morgan shakes his head, sitting up Dec 30 01:41:55 No, I'm alright Dec 30 01:42:05 * Molly nods Dec 30 01:42:59 I saw Inga and Heinzharold. They aren't very busy Dec 30 01:43:14 You disturbed them? Dec 30 01:44:20 No, they were just leaving their cabin Dec 30 01:45:21 * Morgan nods Dec 30 01:45:23 I see Dec 30 01:46:07 I think they'd join us to play cards if you wish Dec 30 01:48:05 If thats what you want to do Dec 30 01:48:21 What do -you- want to do? Dec 30 01:48:38 * Morgan shrugs Dec 30 01:48:40 I want some tea Dec 30 01:48:56 * Molly pours some, handing him the cup Dec 30 01:49:39 * Morgan takes it, smelling the tea Dec 30 01:50:00 Not very long ago I told Zareen that I have my bad days, but I'm happy... Dec 30 01:50:33 *it's the one his uncle grows* Dec 30 01:50:42 * Molly nods, pouring a second cup Dec 30 01:52:26 Today is a bad one Dec 30 01:52:37 * Morgan nods Dec 30 01:54:13 There will be better ones again Dec 30 01:54:25 * Molly sits down, blowing on her tea Dec 30 01:54:27 * Morgan nods, sipping the tea Dec 30 01:54:31 undoubtedly Dec 30 01:54:48 Like a storm, all we can do is ride it out Dec 30 01:55:11 * Morgan nods Dec 30 01:56:07 * Molly sips her tea Dec 30 01:56:39 That is what we will do. Thank goodness the draw is dealt with for another month Dec 30 01:56:50 * Morgan nods Dec 30 01:57:06 Its... more enjoyable knowing we have some control over it Dec 30 01:58:04 * Molly nods Dec 30 01:58:20 It's nice to know no one will end up harmed Dec 30 01:59:19 * Morgan nods Dec 30 01:59:25 A punch to the nose often offends... Dec 30 02:00:11 I meant how people often end up hurt and needing healing that then starts it Dec 30 02:01:26 * Morgan nods Dec 30 02:01:31 Well, yeah, that too Dec 30 02:02:30 It's much more practical if we can choose an appropriate moment Dec 30 02:03:01 * Morgan nods, sipping his tea Dec 30 02:03:46 * Molly blows the surface again Dec 30 02:03:49 Useful, that Dec 30 02:04:11 The next time will be out at sea in the middle of nowhere Dec 30 02:05:21 * Morgan nods Dec 30 02:05:42 I'm already prepared for a shift in the nest... sea to the north.... Sea to the east... Dec 30 02:06:42 I don't think there's room up there for it Dec 30 02:07:30 No, definitely not... but I was referring to what I'll be reporting... Dec 30 02:08:09 No coastlines at all Dec 30 02:09:09 * Morgan nods Dec 30 02:09:20 That's gonn' be strange Dec 30 02:09:29 * Molly nods Dec 30 02:09:35 It'll be beautiful Dec 30 02:09:44 * Morgan nods Dec 30 02:09:47 Reckon so Dec 30 02:11:16 * Molly nods. She stays fairly quiet, and soon the quiet time passes with the waking of the boy Dec 30 02:13:43 Someones awake Dec 30 02:23:25 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Dec 30 02:24:48 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 30 12:13:36 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Dec 30 12:14:00 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Dec 30 12:15:13 * MollyK goes in to find him, and Claudia appears with the new axe and a bottle of liquer Dec 30 12:15:54 hey Dec 30 12:18:06 * MollyK is now known as Claudia Dec 30 12:18:19 You free? Dec 30 12:19:00 [You alright if I go and train?] Dec 30 12:21:36 [yes, of course] Dec 30 12:22:00 * Morgan nods, rummaging to get his axe before standing up Dec 30 12:22:03 Ballroom? Dec 30 12:23:05 * Claudia nods Dec 30 12:23:43 It's the training room. Have you ever even -had- a ball here? Dec 30 12:23:59 Not yet... Dec 30 12:26:41 Never say never though Dec 30 12:27:03 * Claudia nods, putting the bottle on the desk Dec 30 12:27:09 That came with the axe Dec 30 12:27:32 * Morgan takes a look at it Dec 30 12:28:50 *it's the same one Valois gave him last time* Dec 30 12:29:39 Molly will be pleased Dec 30 12:31:38 * Claudia nods, leading to the ballroom Dec 30 12:31:51 How's she doing after the portrait thing? Dec 30 12:32:22 An evening cuddling a baby helped Dec 30 12:32:57 * Morgan sighs Dec 30 12:33:14 A pity Ive made her unsure of herself since Dec 30 12:34:49 You aren't falling out -again-?! Dec 30 12:35:01 * Claudia gets ready to spar Dec 30 12:35:19 We'll be fine Dec 30 12:36:30 You need a moment to reassure her, or can we get on with it? Dec 30 12:36:49 I've already done that Dec 30 12:38:30 * Claudia salutes him Dec 30 12:38:42 [the Comte has sent you another bottle of that wine] Dec 30 12:38:48 * Morgan does likewise Dec 30 12:47:45 [that's nice of him] Dec 30 12:49:36 [I suppose so, yes] Dec 30 12:51:24 * Claudia gets into the fighting, but although she's better than most, she's no match for Morgan with an axe Dec 30 12:52:09 * Morgan gets her on the floor, holding his axe towards her for a moment before offering his hand Dec 30 12:54:10 Want a little advice on wielding an axe? Dec 30 12:55:48 * Claudia nods Dec 30 12:56:07 Yeah. Not often you can teach me anything Dec 30 12:56:14 * Claudia takes the help Dec 30 12:56:20 * Morgan pulls her up Dec 30 12:56:49 It'll sound stupid... but its not a sword. Its closer to a pole arm. Dec 30 12:58:46 * Claudia nods Dec 30 12:59:01 I've used them less Dec 30 13:00:18 * Morgan nods, tilting his head slightly Dec 30 13:00:48 Try... try using that style you've developed... an axe would much rather keep moving, it doesn't want to change directions... Dec 30 13:07:46 * Claudia nods, making him stand back. It's very beautiful, and works well with the different weight of the axe Dec 30 13:08:15 * Morgan nods slowly Dec 30 13:08:25 Aye, I think that works... looks a bit weird, but... it works. Dec 30 13:09:32 * Claudia nods, slowly stopping Dec 30 13:09:39 Fight like that? Dec 30 13:09:52 * Morgan nods Dec 30 13:09:54 Give it a go Dec 30 13:10:46 *they do this a while, working up a sweat. HH comes in, sitting on a table* Dec 30 13:11:19 * Morgan backs away, wiping sweat from his forehead Dec 30 13:11:26 Yeah, that definitely works Dec 30 13:12:06 * Claudia nods, resting it on her shoulder Dec 30 13:12:10 Yeah Dec 30 13:13:35 Its just practice... thats all. I on occasion fought using a sledgehammer... now there's an article that doesn't want to stop Dec 30 13:16:00 HH laughs: thought it'd pull you o'er Dec 30 13:17:42 I might have had that happen... Dec 30 13:20:01 HH: do I getta turn? I've been told t' sling my 'ook Dec 30 13:20:47 * Morgan sighs, handing him his axe Dec 30 13:22:05 *HH takes it. He and Claudia salute. She fights normally, and he can beat her like that* Dec 30 13:23:02 * Morgan watches them, occasionally nodding to himself Dec 30 13:25:48 * Claudia seems to take it with good grace when he puts her down, and he sits on the floor too Dec 30 13:25:53 * Claudia is now known as HH Dec 30 13:26:11 That was good. E'eryone havin a good day? Dec 30 13:26:56 Oh fantastic Dec 30 13:28:10 * HH looks at Claudia Dec 30 13:28:31 I don' think he means that. do you think he means that? Dec 30 13:28:44 *she rolls her eyes* No, Heinzharold. Dec 30 13:30:42 Wassup? Dec 30 13:31:53 Dreams. Managed to upset Molly. The usual. Dec 30 13:34:22 Same shit different day?

Dec 30 13:38:05 * HH nods, grinning "yeah. That's a husband priv'lige. I deal with her grumpiness, I get to make up dumb nicknames for it" Dec 30 13:38:39 I don't see Inga as the grumpy type Dec 30 13:40:28 * HH sniggers Dec 30 13:40:38 Oh yeah. Just good at fakin' it Dec 30 13:40:47 Just as well Dec 30 13:40:56 C: *she glances at Morgan, smirking* she'd need to be Dec 30 13:41:10 Fuck off the pair of you Dec 30 13:41:19 * HH is chuckling though Dec 30 13:42:56 * Morgan smirks Dec 30 13:43:20 You hear Cap'n HeinzHarold criticising my handling of the ship? Dec 30 13:44:15 C: why? Dec 30 13:44:44 Says he opened a porthole and high fives a sailor on one of the ships we passed Dec 30 13:46:51 C: It was fine, you did good Dec 30 13:47:09 * Morgan nods slightly Dec 30 13:47:17 Not sure I'd make the same decision Dec 30 13:49:01 C: *she shrugs* I would Dec 30 13:49:40 Really? Dec 30 13:52:05 C: yeah. Looked fine to me Dec 30 13:52:25 So... what you're saying is HeinzHarold can do one... Dec 30 13:55:12 She's been sayin' that for years Dec 30 13:55:29 * Morgan nods Dec 30 13:55:48 Do one of what though? Dec 30 13:56:58 * Morgan rolls his neck Dec 30 13:57:54 Ne'er did unnerstand that one Dec 30 13:58:10 Cos you're a bit simple Dec 30 13:58:42 An' yer a lot simple Dec 30 13:58:57 * Morgan snorts Dec 30 13:59:07 Noones ever accused me of that Dec 30 14:02:57 Y' just don't listen Dec 30 14:04:23 That I've been told... Dec 30 14:06:12 * HH nods Dec 30 14:07:21 Gonna make the afternoon training more regular? Dec 30 14:08:08 Think it'd do us good... though I'm considering picking up more time in command...

Dec 30 15:40:27 Mebbie Dec 30 15:41:05 * Morgan nods, looking back at Claudia Dec 30 15:41:22 C: *she shrugs* Dec 30 15:42:14 * Morgan sighs Dec 30 15:42:28 Unusual for something to bother you and you not know what... gonna bug me for hours Dec 30 15:46:34 C: sorry Dec 30 15:46:40 * Morgan shrugs Dec 30 15:46:43 It is what it is Dec 30 15:49:26 C: *she nods* yeah Dec 30 15:50:40 * Morgan shrugs again Dec 30 15:50:58 It'll come to you Dec 30 15:52:45 That's what she said Dec 30 15:53:11 dickhead Dec 30 15:54:30 Yep Dec 30 15:54:52 * Morgan rolls his shoulders Dec 30 15:54:58 Reckon your wife is done with mine yet?

'Sides, it's good practice Dec 30 16:09:01 * Morgan nods Dec 30 16:09:11 Definitely gonn' need knitted things when we're home Dec 30 16:10:09 'Specially if she catches soon. Winter baby.

From the deck the river stretches out ahead of them to the west, the sun looking like it will meet the horizon in the water ahead, not long until they'll need to stop. She stands at the rail, watching it* Dec 30 23:02:18 How was your training? Dec 30 23:03:17 Therapeutic... actually managed to teach Claudia something Dec 30 23:03:34 Oh? Dec 30 23:04:24 She doesn't have much experience with a pole arm, which is what you need to be really effective with the axe Dec 30 23:05:07 * MollyK nods Dec 30 23:05:16 That does sound like something you'd enjoy Dec 30 23:06:52 * Morgan nods, leaning on the rail Dec 30 23:07:25 How... are you feeling now? Dec 30 23:07:50 I am alright Dec 30 23:08:38 Sure? You don't seem it... Dec 30 23:08:58 * MollyK nods Dec 30 23:09:19 I am saddened that I made us at odds again, when we seem to be at odds so often now Dec 30 23:10:12 * Morgan nods Dec 30 23:11:08 It frustrated me that I was expected to accept your assurances when it came to Sebastien but you do not accept mine now, when the situation with Sebastien was something that had been arranged... Dec 30 23:11:54 * MollyK nods Dec 30 23:11:59 I'm sorry, my love Dec 30 23:12:35 * Morgan nods Dec 30 23:12:45 What did you talk to Inga about? Dec 30 23:13:01 That I had made things difficult yet again Dec 30 23:13:19 What did she say? Dec 30 23:13:32 That I did the wrong thing Dec 30 23:13:57 * Morgan looks at her Dec 30 23:14:01 I'm sorry?! Dec 30 23:14:33 By making it about me and my feelings when you were already upset Dec 30 23:14:41 * MollyK doesn't look at all distressed Dec 30 23:16:00 That.. surprises me... Dec 30 23:16:58 Why? Dec 30 23:18:03 I figured maybe she'd... I don't want to say take sides but... side with you... Dec 30 23:19:08 No, I asked for her to be honest with me. I know she loves me deeply, but sometimes I need her to not pander to me Dec 30 23:19:28 * Morgan nods Dec 30 23:21:02 I think Claudia was considering banging our heads together... Dec 30 23:21:18 It wouldn't be the first time we've been scolded Dec 30 23:23:01 No... Dec 30 23:23:21 * MollyK sighs Dec 30 23:23:28 I doubt it will be the last Dec 30 23:24:29 * Morgan shrugs Dec 30 23:24:32 Such is marriage Dec 30 23:25:34 Is it? I do not see Heinzharold and Inga go through this so oft Dec 30 23:26:28 HeinzHarold isn't a broken man... and they don't have everything we have weighing on us Dec 30 23:27:04 He doesn't have such a wilful wife Dec 30 23:27:15 There is that Dec 30 23:27:29 * MollyK nods Dec 30 23:28:26 I can only strive to still my tongue Dec 30 23:28:48 * Morgan shrugs Dec 30 23:29:16 You needed reassurance. The problem was you wouldn't accept it Dec 30 23:30:15 I should have waited for a better time, as Inga said Dec 30 23:30:59 * Morgan nods Dec 30 23:31:02 It would've helped Dec 30 23:32:24 * MollyK nods Dec 30 23:32:43 I am still learning how to be an excellent wife to you Dec 30 23:32:52 Nailing it most of the time Dec 30 23:33:35 I'm glad you think so Dec 30 23:33:41 * Morgan nods Dec 30 23:34:56 No one is perfect, I suppose Dec 30 23:35:16 I don't recall getting that news... Dec 30 23:36:43 * MollyK smiles Dec 30 23:37:03 No Dec 30 23:38:16 * Morgan rolls up his sleeves before leaning back on the rail Dec 30 23:38:43 * MollyK watches his forearms Dec 30 23:38:50 We will be well? Dec 30 23:38:58 * Morgan nods Dec 30 23:39:15 I'd take you for a walk but... its a bit wet out Dec 30 23:39:47 We're already outside, why would we need a walk? Dec 30 23:40:17 Because its a nice thing to do to reconnect... and I meant.. out there *he nods towards the water* wet out... Dec 30 23:41:09 Oh... *she smiles* I wondered if you meant the sort of walk that leaves us outside, alone and brazen Dec 30 23:42:07 Not in this instance Dec 30 23:43:25 * MollyK nods Dec 30 23:43:36 It will be very long until we can do that! Dec 30 23:43:47 * Morgan nods Dec 30 23:43:58 Absolutely it will. Dec 30 23:44:16 But then we have a whole estate ready for exploration Dec 30 23:44:38 * Morgan nods Dec 30 23:45:06 An estate... Its quite the departure from our rooms at the Torrington estate Dec 30 23:45:26 * MollyK smiles Dec 30 23:45:43 And even that was a step up from my tiny room at Sunnymeade Dec 30 23:46:19 * Morgan nods Dec 30 23:46:23 Indeed Dec 30 23:48:20 Not what would be expected for a Freiarr's daughter Dec 30 23:48:32 * Morgan nods Dec 30 23:48:47 Must check in and find out how they're doing with all that Dec 30 23:48:56 * MollyK nods Dec 30 23:49:07 Shall I write to my Father? Dec 30 23:49:15 * Morgan nods Dec 30 23:50:57 What do you think to me taking an extra command shift? Dec 30 23:51:44 If that will make you happy, my love. Between learning the languages, teaching Varick, and helping care for Amur I'm rather a busy girl Dec 30 23:51:53 * Morgan nods Dec 30 23:51:58 Yes you are... Dec 30 23:52:38 So providing we can have some time together in quiet hour and bedtime, I see no problem Dec 30 23:53:26 * Morgan nods Dec 30 23:53:34 I'll think about it then talk to Sorgi Dec 30 23:53:52 * MollyK nods Dec 30 23:54:27 We should get used to being so busy and having less time together Dec 30 23:54:46 * Morgan nods Dec 30 23:54:49 I don't want to Dec 30 23:54:58 * MollyK smiles Dec 30 23:55:26 Once you're a Graf and I am mother to a newborn or two, we will be very busy indeed Dec 30 23:55:47 * Morgan nods Dec 30 23:55:57 Yeah.... We will. Dec 30 23:56:32 * MollyK holds out her hand Dec 30 23:56:39 * Morgan takes it Dec 30 23:57:16 I'll always find you a few minutes... you just might have to share me a little with a much smaller man Dec 30 23:58:36 * Morgan nods Dec 30 23:59:21 We were talking names.... HeinzHarold thought we'd be calling our first son Morgan Dec 30 23:59:43 Oh. I think we could, if you wished Dec 30 23:59:51 * Morgan shakes his head Dec 30 23:59:54 No thank you Dec 30 23:59:59 * MollyK smiles
