**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jan 1 00:00:15 2023 Jan 01 00:00:15 I see Jan 01 00:01:42 She says I do not talk as I would if I loved him, if I admired him as I ought Jan 01 00:02:47 thats... remarkably insightful for someone normally more concerned with her next gathering Jan 01 00:03:03 * Molly nods, chewing her lip Jan 01 00:03:09 She is correct though Jan 01 00:04:54 * Morgan watches her Jan 01 00:04:56 right... Jan 01 00:05:56 She has made me an offer... *she watches him right back, moving closer to make that easier in the lower light( Jan 01 00:07:26 Oh? Jan 01 00:08:18 Her housekeeper in Carleon is retiring in the summer. She feels I would be a good replacement. Jan 01 00:10:16 I see Jan 01 00:11:08 She suggests I visit and see how I feel about the house, staff, and City, with a view to residing there from her return from Castile and working as the under-houskeeper until July when I can take the main role Jan 01 00:11:36 * Molly watches him, looking for his opinion Jan 01 00:12:26 That... would make sense I suppose Jan 01 00:13:38 * Molly smiles a little Jan 01 00:14:03 It would let me see more of the world, and the work would be very easy Jan 01 00:15:30 * Morgan nods Jan 01 00:15:37 Yes... true.... Jan 01 00:16:32 And I will meet fascinating people, and no one will know me Jan 01 00:16:58 Their loss... Jan 01 00:17:14 * Molly smiles, blushing Jan 01 00:17:18 You are too kind Jan 01 00:18:27 * Morgan shrugs Jan 01 00:18:30 No not really Jan 01 00:18:45 What do you think I should do? Jan 01 00:18:54 * Molly rubs her arms Jan 01 00:20:04 It would make sense Jan 01 00:20:14 * Molly nods, smiling Jan 01 00:20:22 Will you take me? Jan 01 00:20:58 Sounds like your decision is made... Jan 01 00:22:54 I don't want to cause any upset Jan 01 00:24:08 I think Jaeger will be somewhat Jan 01 00:24:16 * Molly nods Jan 01 00:24:24 Evie a little too Jan 01 00:25:11 * Morgan nods Jan 01 00:25:56 * Molly watches him Jan 01 00:26:02 Will you be? Jan 01 00:27:33 I think the estate will manage, if that is what you've decided Jan 01 00:28:06 Is that a prevarication? Jan 01 00:29:13 How do you mean? Jan 01 00:29:43 Are you deflecting from answering what I asked Jan 01 00:30:33 Your leaving will be a loss, but it was coming anyway... Jan 01 00:30:57 But if I marry him, I'll be in Tawstock. You could visit Jan 01 00:32:24 I rather thought you'd be moving away... Jan 01 00:32:49 No, Curtis wants to stay Jan 01 00:34:05 He mentioned asking you to be our firstborn child's godfather Jan 01 00:35:13 * Morgan shakes his head Jan 01 00:35:27 You don't want me being responsible for any person you want kept safe Jan 01 00:35:50 You saved my life. Who would be better than you? Jan 01 00:36:05 * Morgan shrugs Jan 01 00:36:17 Either way it seems that is not on the cards anyway... Jan 01 00:36:37 I don't know. I don't know what to do Jan 01 00:37:33 You've already indicated that Lady Torrington is correct... that you don't love or admire him... Jan 01 00:38:26 No, but that does not mean I should necessarily call it off. Many do not marry for love, and I do not know that I would ever find another man who wishes to wed me Jan 01 00:39:46 But... generally marriages not for love have at least that respect or admiration... Jan 01 00:40:01 Then you think I should not wed h8m Jan 01 00:40:45 * Morgan sighs, shrugging slightly Jan 01 00:41:26 I just want to be happy, to feel absolute joy. It always seems that joy is not in my path Jan 01 00:42:19 And do you feel you would find that with him? Jan 01 00:42:32 No, but I might when I have a child? Jan 01 00:43:30 maybe Jan 01 00:44:18 Maybe there -is- a man out there for me who will bring me joy, and who I can bring joy to? Jan 01 00:45:26 * Morgan nods Jan 01 00:45:41 I imagine so Jan 01 00:47:02 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jan 01 00:48:49 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jan 01 11:18:10 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Jan 01 12:24:51 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jan 01 17:35:10 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Jan 01 20:31:10 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Jan 01 20:31:27 Then you think I should not wed h8m Jan 01 20:31:27 * Morgan sighs, shrugging slightly Jan 01 20:31:27 I just want to be happy, to feel absolute joy. It always seems that joy is not in my path Jan 01 20:31:27 And do you feel you would find that with him? Jan 01 20:31:27 No, but I might when I have a child? Jan 01 20:31:30 maybe Jan 01 20:31:32 Maybe there -is- a man out there for me who will bring me joy, and who I can bring joy to? Jan 01 20:31:34 * Morgan nods Jan 01 20:31:36 I imagine so Jan 01 20:32:19 * MollyK nods, looking at the sky Jan 01 20:33:13 I just do not know what is right for me. Perhaps there's a captain out there who'd like to take me on his ship and show me the world Jan 01 20:34:39 * Morgan nods slowly Jan 01 20:34:46 Possibly Jan 01 20:35:30 That would be such an adventure! I could visit Eisen and use what you have taught me Jan 01 20:38:11 You could, yes Jan 01 20:39:55 * MollyK smiles, nodding Jan 01 20:40:35 I used to watch the ships in Tawstock when my brothers took me to market, and imagine a life at sea... Jan 01 20:41:00 Cramped spaces, sleeping in hammocks... Jan 01 20:41:18 * MollyK shrugs Jan 01 20:42:14 And the feel of the waves, the way the sail swell with the wind, the clear blue horizon... just wondering what fascinating lands might lay beyond Jan 01 20:43:45 Weeks on end of fish... Jan 01 20:45:53 I like fish. Growing up on a farm tires you very quickly of pork, beef, and mutton Jan 01 20:47:47 I once had fish every day for four weeks Jan 01 20:48:03 * MollyK looks intrigued, but also cold Jan 01 20:48:10 Did you? Why? Jan 01 20:49:22 * Morgan blinks a couple of times before taking off his coat, putting it over her shoulders Jan 01 20:49:47 because... we didn't put in to port to pick up any meat... *he says this quite slowly, like its obvious* Jan 01 20:50:29 * MollyK closes her eyes a moment Jan 01 20:50:51 Thank you. You've sailed? Like a real sailor, not just on holiday? Jan 01 20:51:06 * Morgan leans against once of the stones Jan 01 20:51:26 A lifetime ago... I... I was in the navy Jan 01 20:51:56 * MollyK 's eyes light up, pulling his coat tighter Jan 01 20:52:11 How fascinating! Would you tell me about it? Jan 01 20:53:18 Its not that interesting... I entered on a commission and sailed as you'd expect until... certain talents were noticed and I was sent on, lets say, less ship based assignments Jan 01 20:54:29 * MollyK shakes her head rapidly Jan 01 20:55:09 No, please! It really is very interesting to me! Shall we have a drink and talk? Unless you're very tired? Jan 01 20:55:26 * Morgan gives her a look Jan 01 20:55:40 When do I sleep? Lets go find somewhere warmer though Jan 01 20:57:11 * MollyK nods, walking towards Maelwys' Inn Jan 01 20:57:40 Do you need your coat back? I wouldn't wish you to sacrifice your well-being for me Jan 01 20:57:58 * Morgan shakes his head Jan 01 20:58:34 I don't feel the cold, except possibly in my fingers. Besides, there's a couple of armchairs near the fire towards the back... Jan 01 21:00:40 * MollyK nods, smiling Jan 01 21:00:49 I'd like that, thank you Jan 01 21:02:43 * Morgan nods, pushing his way through the inn, grabbing drinks on the way Jan 01 21:04:40 *the seats he wants are empty* Jan 01 21:09:10 * Morgan puts the drinks down on the small table, parking himself in one of the chairs Jan 01 21:10:11 * MollyK takes a moment before gently removing his coat and passing it to him Jan 01 21:10:40 Thank you. It's very heavy! Jan 01 21:13:24 * Morgan nods, hanging it over the back of his chair Jan 01 21:13:34 Its got a lot of pockets, most of which are full Jan 01 21:15:01 * MollyK nods Jan 01 21:15:34 How long were you in the navy? *she sips her wine, getting comfortable by the fire* Jan 01 21:15:48 * Morgan sips his ale Jan 01 21:15:54 About five years Jan 01 21:16:26 Wow, how old are you?! *she blushes, biting her lip* my apologies Jan 01 21:17:11 I'm nearly twenty six... when the whole country is at war with itself, we get sent to war early Jan 01 21:17:42 Wow, that must have been dreadful Jan 01 21:17:51 * Morgan shrugs Jan 01 21:17:58 Its what we grew up with Jan 01 21:18:08 *the tavern is busy, full of noise but not loud* Jan 01 21:18:17 Do you miss sailing? Jan 01 21:19:04 * Morgan nods Jan 01 21:19:05 Very much Jan 01 21:20:50 Aren't you tempted? *she sips again before running the rim over her lower lip without thinking* Jan 01 21:21:29 Where would you look for a man who loves sailing so much that his parents used to say salt water filled his veins? Jan 01 21:21:56 A dock. They said it of you? Jan 01 21:22:15 * Morgan nods Jan 01 21:23:31 And you will not be found? Jan 01 21:24:45 Not if I have a say in it Jan 01 21:25:21 And so you will not sail ever again? Jan 01 21:26:17 I've got a job to do... Jan 01 21:26:32 * MollyK nods Jan 01 21:26:45 What do you love about sailing? Jan 01 21:29:12 Its... its hard to describe. Its a living thing, and you're entirely at her mercy... no matter how good your ship, your crew, if she decides you're going under, there's very little you can do about it... you have to learn to read her moods, know when to not push your luck... Jan 01 21:29:33 * MollyK watches him intently Jan 01 21:29:40 It sounds exhilarating Jan 01 21:30:31 It can be something of a slog... when the weathers against you, the waves are so high there's as much water on the deck as there is around the ship... Jan 01 21:30:48 * MollyK smiles Jan 01 21:31:00 So I would have to mop regardless? Jan 01 21:31:26 You don't mop the deck if its that bad... you weigh anchor and take shelter and wait it out Jan 01 21:31:43 * MollyK sips her drink Jan 01 21:31:53 Is that what you are doing? Jan 01 21:32:20 What, here? Jan 01 21:33:02 In Tawstock. I hope with me you are not just waiting it out until my curiosity about you wanes Jan 01 21:41:06 You think Tawstock is where I am sheltering from the storm? If I'd had the choice, I'd have stayed here Jan 01 21:41:22 Really? Why? Jan 01 21:42:28 * Morgan shrugs Jan 01 21:42:41 I... I had community here... Jan 01 21:42:52 * MollyK looks around Jan 01 21:43:06 It does seem nice. Why leave? Jan 01 21:44:52 My family employ a... man... who is probably the only person better than me at getting information... I got wind of him being nearby so... I had to leave Jan 01 21:45:18 * MollyK looks around suspiciously Jan 01 21:45:26 Why are we here now? Jan 01 21:49:12 Its a good stopping place... and... I wanted to show you the stones, a place I found peaceful... and I miss my friend. Jan 01 21:49:27 * MollyK smiles Jan 01 21:49:37 You've been so generous to me Jan 01 21:50:36 I didn't want you stuck in that house when I am gone when you could've had more Jan 01 21:50:58 * MollyK looks puzzled Jan 01 21:51:03 Gone where? Jan 01 21:51:28 At some point... I will encounter something I cannot overcome Jan 01 21:51:51 Why not go somewhere safer? Jan 01 21:52:37 I am not concerned for myself Jan 01 21:53:14 /me watches him, speaking softly "-I- am concerned for you" Jan 01 21:54:12 * Morgan takes a mouthful of his ale Jan 01 21:55:51 I appreciate your concern... Jan 01 21:55:59 * MollyK smiles Jan 01 21:56:16 It's important to matter to someone, I think Jan 01 21:57:31 * Morgan nods Jan 01 21:57:33 I suppose so Jan 01 21:58:08 I would be sad if you were killed Jan 01 21:59:47 That would pass... Jan 01 22:00:11 You do not get over it, you just get on with it Jan 01 22:00:35 * Morgan frowns slightly Jan 01 22:01:02 I'm fairly sure its against the rules to use my own logic against me Jan 01 22:01:12 * MollyK smiles Jan 01 22:01:27 There are rules? Jan 01 22:01:38 * Morgan nods Jan 01 22:01:40 There always are Jan 01 22:01:59 Who makes the rules? Jan 01 22:04:27 * Morgan shrugs Jan 01 22:05:03 Sometimes I wish I was more rebellious Jan 01 22:05:17 Why? Jan 01 22:06:05 Because it could be enjoyable to act for fun and not conform Jan 01 22:06:53 There are... costs... involved in that Jan 01 22:07:11 Not if it's mildly rebellious Jan 01 22:07:17 * Morgan nods Jan 01 22:07:29 I suppose... Jan 01 22:08:02 *there's some music, a country dance* Jan 01 22:08:23 I know! We could dance! That would be mildly rebellious? Jan 01 22:08:56 Uhhh... I... I haven't danced in a long time Jan 01 22:09:20 Are you clumsy? You don't seem it Jan 01 22:10:51 No, I'm not. Have you ever danced to something like this before? Jan 01 22:11:34 No, but the steps are similar to what we learned when the tutors came, just closer and faster Jan 01 22:12:23 * Morgan nods, downing the rest of his ale Jan 01 22:12:25 Come on then Jan 01 22:12:43 * MollyK looks elated, finishing her wine Jan 01 22:12:50 Thank you! Jan 01 22:13:19 * Morgan nods, leaving his coat on the chair Jan 01 22:14:18 *he's welcomed by people who know him as Randall. The music is familiar, dancing he's seen here in the Red Lion many times. She looks around excitedly* Ready? Jan 01 22:14:42 * Morgan nods Jan 01 22:16:57 * MollyK dances with him. She gets the hang of it quickly. The times when she has to be in his arms are few, the times he has to hold her hand are many. Her hands are warm and soft, and she looks flushed and happy as they dance* Jan 01 22:19:27 This is fun! Jan 01 22:19:37 * Morgan nods Jan 01 22:19:43 Aye, it is Jan 01 22:20:40 *after a few minutes it becomes a slower country waltz, she smiles shyly* do you think we could dance this one also? Jan 01 22:21:43 If you like Jan 01 22:23:38 * MollyK nods. This does require her being in his arms, one hand on his shoulder, the other in his, with his spare hand on her waist. She smells of rosewater as they move around the dance floor* Jan 01 22:23:46 Wow you dance well! Jan 01 22:24:29 I -did- say I wasn't clumsy Jan 01 22:24:48 * MollyK smiles, watching him Jan 01 22:25:03 You are very light on your feet... Jan 01 22:26:04 * Morgan shrugs Jan 01 22:26:11 Should see me climb Jan 01 22:26:21 * MollyK smiles Jan 01 22:26:26 I'd love to Jan 01 22:28:57 Not sure we'll get chance Jan 01 22:29:27 Whilst we're away, or before I might leave? Jan 01 22:29:47 * Morgan frowns briefly before shrugging Jan 01 22:29:50 We'll see Jan 01 22:30:54 * MollyK nods. She feels nice to hold, though his mind briefly wanders to the day she nearly drowned, and the sight of her bare wet skin Jan 01 22:31:53 * Morgan concentrates, moving her about Jan 01 22:32:48 *he finds his body stirring regardless, though she isn't close enough to be able to tell* Jan 01 22:33:53 * Morgan tries to distract himself, concentrating on the steps Jan 01 22:35:04 *he feels a tap on his shoulder, followed by hearing in Eisen "Don' spouse a humble blacksmith's son could cut in?" Jan 01 22:36:04 * MollyK watches Morg face Jan 01 22:36:27 * Morgan freezes, looking panicked Jan 01 22:37:53 * MollyK glances around him, speaking halting Eisen "Hello. Can I help you?" Jan 01 22:38:32 *HH laughs, still in Eisen* Crampin' his style, am I? Jan 01 22:38:48 * Morgan turns Jan 01 22:39:43 *HH is grinning* Y' owe me a drink, man. Claudia is gon' kick my ass when she finds out I found ya first! Jan 01 22:40:31 * Morgan stares at him, eyes searching his face before he throws his arms around him, squeezing him hard Jan 01 22:41:18 *HH hugs him, pressing his hands in, just as he always had, and how his father used to as well* Jan 01 22:42:34 * Morgan lets him go, looking him over Jan 01 22:42:49 Molly... would you mind if we cut our dance a little short? Jan 01 22:42:59 *HH looks well* Jan 01 22:43:28 * MollyK shakes her head, but even he can see she's a little disappointed Jan 01 22:43:57 HH: tell y' what, you get th' drinks, we'll finish the dance Jan 01 22:44:39 * MollyK watches Morgan for translation Jan 01 22:44:42 * Morgan looks to Molly, translating for her Jan 01 22:44:59 * MollyK blushes, smiling and nodding Jan 01 22:45:22 Molly, HeinzHarold... HeinzHarold, Molly... Jan 01 22:46:56 *they try to greet each other in their second languages, both fluffing it up before laughing. HH gives Morgan a brief salute before taking her hand and pulling her back into the swing of things, holding her close Jan 01 22:47:16 * Morgan watches them for a moment before making his way to the bar Jan 01 22:47:36 * MollyK is now known as Maelwys Jan 01 22:48:01 * Maelwys looks over at them before looking at Morgan Jan 01 22:48:18 Looks like ye've lost yer partner Jan 01 22:49:44 * Morgan looks over, nodding Jan 01 22:49:50 Can't blame 'er Jan 01 22:50:23 * Maelwys nods Jan 01 22:50:40 Handsome lad. 'Ere to drown yer sorrows? Jan 01 22:50:56 * Morgan smiles slightly Jan 01 22:51:25 'E's an old friend... gettin' drinks so we c'n talk Jan 01 22:52:12 * Maelwys nods "got sumthin' special f' y' t' try. Be righ' back" Jan 01 22:52:30 * Morgan looks at him suspiciously Jan 01 22:52:56 Made it m'self. No taxes, see? Jan 01 22:53:34 Y'ain't made it wi' turnips again? Jan 01 22:53:46 Nope, hazelnuts Jan 01 22:53:54 * Morgan nods Jan 01 22:53:56 Could work Jan 01 22:54:29 Some mushrooms too, but y' can't taste 'em in it Jan 01 22:54:54 * Morgan nods Jan 01 22:54:55 Alright Jan 01 22:55:14 * Maelwys goes out the back Jan 01 22:55:43 * Morgan turns, leaning against the bar to watch HeinzHarold Jan 01 22:56:55 *He and Molly seem to be having a wonderful, uninhibited time, talking animatedly though often with confusion and laughs* Jan 01 22:57:55 * Morgan sighs, turning back to lean on the bar Jan 01 22:58:36 *the two of them come over when the song finishes, breathless and cheerful* Jan 01 22:58:56 M: That was so much fun! Jan 01 22:59:49 *HH has an arm slung around her shoulder, much as Morgan has seen in camps and taverns many times before* Jan 01 23:00:14 * Morgan nods Jan 01 23:01:29 * Maelwys comes back, lining up three glasses in a row and pouring a good measure of clear liquid in each Jan 01 23:01:39 Here y' go, on th' house Jan 01 23:01:46 * Morgan sniffs it Jan 01 23:03:56 *It smells like Hazelnuts. Heinzharold takes a large mouthful before coughing and nodding* HH: 's good Jan 01 23:04:37 *Molly drinks a little, brows raising* it's strong. Very nice though *she drinks more* Jan 01 23:05:11 * Morgan thanks Maelwys, making his way back over to the table Jan 01 23:06:35 *HH offers Molly his arm, walking her to it. He gestures $these Your apples?$ Jan 01 23:07:01 $No... but... back up a little$ Jan 01 23:07:40 $why?$ Jan 01 23:08:01 $I don't really know$ Jan 01 23:08:01 * Maelwys is now known as HH Jan 01 23:08:36 * HH shrugs, sitting in the chair before patting his lap Jan 01 23:09:41 *Molly looks a little surprised, but with only the two chairs before the fire they're going to struggle for space* $unless you want her in your lap instead?$ Jan 01 23:09:57 $What did I just say?$ Jan 01 23:10:20 $not your apples$ Jan 01 23:11:11 *Molly watches Morgan* Is that alright? There's not anywhere else... Jan 01 23:11:37 I suppose you either sit with him or with me... Jan 01 23:12:00 *Molly blinks a moment* is that an option? Jan 01 23:12:07 I suppose it is Jan 01 23:12:44 *Molly watches to see if he makes space for her* Jan 01 23:13:01 * Morgan moves so she can sit Jan 01 23:14:08 *she gently sits in his lap, blushing. HH smiles, raising his glass a little, speaking Eisen* To th' victor the spoils, an all that Jan 01 23:14:37 $I said back up.$ Jan 01 23:14:41 How'd you find me? Jan 01 23:14:58 * HH takes a mouthful Jan 01 23:15:20 O'erheard Yensid talkin' to yer Da Jan 01 23:15:38 Shit. Jan 01 23:16:20 Yer Ma knows too. Gave me a crash course in Av'lonian Jan 01 23:16:44 Ironic. I'm only here for a night Jan 01 23:17:32 *Molly watches them a little, drinking her drink. She feels soft and warm in his lap* Jan 01 23:17:45 * HH looks her over, nodding slowly Jan 01 23:18:01 Ohhhhh... one night... Jan 01 23:18:11 Not like that. Jan 01 23:18:24 * Morgan absently puts an arm around Mollys waist Jan 01 23:19:11 * HH drinks another mouthful, assessing them. Molly seems to relax a bit Jan 01 23:19:42 Claudia's In th' next town o'er Jan 01 23:19:56 They sent you both? Jan 01 23:20:19 * HH tilts his head, considering Jan 01 23:20:45 Let's say we pre-empted orders t' come next month... Jan 01 23:21:34 * Morgan nods, sipping his drink Jan 01 23:22:05 * HH swirls the liquid in the glass Jan 01 23:22:14 M* Jan 01 23:23:09 'Course, there's e'ery chance we got 'ere and the trail had gone cold... or we'd found a grave... or we'd seen y' but you'd gone awol Jan 01 23:23:33 Why? Why would you do that? Jan 01 23:24:04 B'cause I love you, dickhead Jan 01 23:24:09 * HH grins Jan 01 23:24:34 * Morgan looks torn Jan 01 23:24:40 I miss you man Jan 01 23:24:48 * HH nods Jan 01 23:25:07 I know. I'm a delight. I'd miss me too Jan 01 23:25:25 * Morgan takes a mouthful of his drink Jan 01 23:25:28 How are they? Jan 01 23:25:43 *Molly fidgets slightly, resting back against him a little* Jan 01 23:25:54 * HH sips his drink Jan 01 23:26:02 Ah. Sure y' wanna know? Jan 01 23:26:49 Think I need to Jan 01 23:28:46 Well, yer Ma is pretty cut up about it all still. Feels like she failed you. An yer Da is losing his touch. Starting to lose contracts, not part o' the popular crowd anymore. An yer brother is in an' out, often off with his friends drinkin, duelling an' dallying with married women or ladies o' the night Jan 01 23:29:45 * Morgan nods slowly Jan 01 23:30:02 Edwards behaviour doesn't surprise me... father, though... Jan 01 23:30:15 * HH nods Jan 01 23:30:50 It's still running okay, but it's not getti any better. Like he's half-assin' it Jan 01 23:31:26 * Morgan frowns Jan 01 23:31:28 Thats not good Jan 01 23:31:41 * HH nods Jan 01 23:32:09 Mind's not on th' game. Like he's got melancholia or summat Jan 01 23:32:38 * HH smiles at Molly, and she smiles back Jan 01 23:32:54 Damn... and Edwards too busy wenching to help... Jan 01 23:34:04 * HH nods Jan 01 23:34:23 Figure once 'e has some closure he'll buck up Jan 01 23:35:17 Closure... about me... Jan 01 23:35:45 *Molly fidgets again, settling back a fraction more, her weight resting to him. She doesn't interrupt, just drinks her drink* Jan 01 23:35:48 * HH nods Jan 01 23:37:07 Gotta see it from their perspective. They know yer upset, they didn' get to comfort you, an' they wait e'eryday for news or you t' turn up. Every. Single. Day. Jan 01 23:37:44 * Morgan flinches, looking hurt Jan 01 23:38:22 *Molly feels this, gently resting her hand over his on her waist comfortingly* Jan 01 23:38:33 Sorry man, but y' want honesty Jan 01 23:38:40 * Morgan nods Jan 01 23:38:57 What the hell do I do? Jan 01 23:39:14 * HH smiles Jan 01 23:39:51 Looks like y' have yer hands full 'ere. Send us 'ome with a message or a story. Jan 01 23:40:46 Its not... I don't know... Jan 01 23:41:43 $you can't see her face... looks like a cat about to start purring$ Jan 01 23:42:15 * HH nods "think it over. We can come with ya a few days. Jan 01 23:42:29 * Morgan nods slowly Jan 01 23:43:46 I asked yon barman, 'pparently you pair got the last two rooms.. Jan 01 23:44:07 * Morgan nods Jan 01 23:44:35 Wanna share? Jan 01 23:44:47 * Morgan blushes Jan 01 23:44:58 Uhhh... yeah, you can bunk in with me Jan 01 23:45:26 * HH laughs Jan 01 23:45:39 Y' thought I meant you pair! Jan 01 23:46:40 * Morgan glares at him Jan 01 23:46:43 No... Jan 01 23:47:18 Yer blush says otherwise, man. *he shrugs* Jan 01 23:49:51 $it just... crossed my mind, thats all$ Jan 01 23:50:29 $difficult for it not to with a pretty lassie sat in your lap, I find!$ Jan 01 23:52:31 You think knowing where I am would let my father pull it together? Jan 01 23:53:04 If he knows yer not ever comin' home to be the Graf, yeah Jan 01 23:54:26 * Morgan sighs Jan 01 23:56:47 *Molly turns a little to look at him. She's very close at this distance, no more than ten inches from his face to hers* do you wish me to go? I could get more drinks? Jan 01 23:57:24 No, stay... please Jan 01 23:58:12 * HH watches him a long moment before nodding. HH watches his from the opposite chair as the fire crackles, sipping his drink Jan 01 23:58:29 M* Jan 01 23:59:14 * Morgan looks at HeinzHarold Jan 01 23:59:30 $I'm not sure I can face going home$
