Jan 02 00:03:01 *Molly nods, fidgeting a little* They know you are here? Jan 02 00:03:36 The man I told you about... he's told them I was in Avebury... they still don't know exactly where I am... Jan 02 00:04:37 M: if they are suffering, I think you should alleviate that. It is nice that they still care at all for your well-being Jan 02 00:05:12 * Morgan nods sadly Jan 02 00:05:26 I miss them... I don't like to admit it, even to myself, but I do Jan 02 00:05:55 M: *she nods* It's hard not to love people even when we want to stop Jan 02 00:06:22 * Morgan nods slightly, looking back to HeinzHarold Jan 02 00:06:35 It'll be... difficult... if I come back Jan 02 00:06:49 Not askin' y' to Jan 02 00:07:56 $I came here to die$ Jan 02 00:08:16 * HH frowns $you sick?!$ Jan 02 00:08:39 $No$ Jan 02 00:09:20 *Molly fidgets more, wriggling a little with a quiet apology Jan 02 00:09:29 $oh.$ Jan 02 00:10:39 Its alright blossom Jan 02 00:11:15 $rather you don't die, man$ Jan 02 00:12:06 $The bizarre shit that goes on here, can't guarantee it$ Jan 02 00:12:47 $yeah, but not offing yourself$ Jan 02 00:13:08 I'm wondering if I should go home Jan 02 00:13:58 M: *she inhales sharply* on holiday?

Jan 02 00:16:10 M: *she wriggles a little again, turning a bit more side on so she can easily make eye contact* they need you? Jan 02 00:16:31 I don't know... he thinks they might be ok with some sort of closure Jan 02 00:17:18 *she nods, sipping her drink* why not sleep on it? Jan 02 00:17:42 * Morgan nods Jan 02 00:18:01 Would you mind getting us some more drinks? Jan 02 00:18:20 * HH takes a deep breath Jan 02 00:18:42 M: no, that's fine, I can do that Jan 02 00:19:30 Are you sure? You seem... distressed maybe Jan 02 00:20:06 *Molly gently gets off his lap before holding out her hands to take their glasses too. She blushes* No, I'm fine. I won't be long Jan 02 00:20:30 * HH hands his over, smiling at her, thanking her in Avalonian Jan 02 00:21:31 * Morgan hands her his glass, thanking her Jan 02 00:22:21 *She leaves. HH watches her go with a shake of his head, smiling* she's not distressed, you idiot Jan 02 00:22:29 What? Jan 02 00:23:18 * HH looks at him, grinning "She's not distressed, she's -aroused-. Caused enough o' it myself to know what an aroused woman looks like!" Jan 02 00:23:31 Bullshit Jan 02 00:24:24 Nuh uh. The way she was fidgeting, how she watches y' up close, pupils, flushed cleavage. Jan 02 00:24:49 * Morgan shakes his head, looking in her direction Jan 02 00:24:58 She was just sat down... Jan 02 00:25:22 People don't fidget like that on yer lap, man. Jan 02 00:26:01 Just figured she was restless or uncomfortable... how the hell am I going to let her sit back with me?! Jan 02 00:26:27 Y' could just send 'er to bed... Jan 02 00:27:15 * HH grins "or she can sit in my lap, if y' prefer" Jan 02 00:27:48 No, thanks very much Jan 02 00:28:46 There's y' choice then. Send the lassie to bed, or let her in yer lap an' just be chill like me Jan 02 00:29:47 Shut up distracting me... I need you to know why I left without a word... but I need your word you won't tell anyone else Jan 02 00:30:16 Even Claudia? Jan 02 00:30:33 * Morgan pulls a face Jan 02 00:30:40 I think... it might be necessary Jan 02 00:30:55 * HH nods Jan 02 00:30:58 Go on Jan 02 00:31:29 I left because I couldn't put my mother through what I went through, which would've happened if I'd stayed... Jan 02 00:32:00 She woulda been heartbroken seeing you end yer life Jan 02 00:32:09 Not mine... Jan 02 00:32:17 Edward? Jan 02 00:32:20 * Morgan nods Jan 02 00:32:51 Wh-... *the colour fades from his face* he did it?! Jan 02 00:33:02 Not personally but he ordered it Jan 02 00:33:13 Holy fucking shit. Jan 02 00:33:19 You understand now? Jan 02 00:33:44 Yeah. Either way, they're only gonna have one son Jan 02 00:34:01 How... how so? Jan 02 00:34:25 You come back, he dies. You don't, he's the only one left Jan 02 00:34:49 I can't do that to mother... I -wont- do that to her. No-one should feel that pain Jan 02 00:35:10 Def'ntly a conundrum Jan 02 00:35:31 * Morgan nods Jan 02 00:35:39 You going to tell Claudia? Jan 02 00:35:59 Fuck no. She'd off him in moments Jan 02 00:36:05 * Morgan nods Jan 02 00:36:08 Thats what I thought Jan 02 00:36:21 * HH nods Jan 02 00:36:46 Y' not coming back then? Or not decided yet? Jan 02 00:37:07 Not decided... if Edward is off out of the way it might be doable... but... Jan 02 00:37:33 But how do we get him outta th' way without hurtin' yer Ma? Jan 02 00:37:49 That and... *he nods towards Molly* Jan 02 00:38:10 The fuck is goin' on there? Jan 02 00:38:57 Man, I don't know... aside from Maelwys, she's the only friend I've made here... I care about her... didn't realise quite how much til you tried to get your hands on her Jan 02 00:40:07 She's def'ntly off-limits? *he watches her as she fiddles with her earring at the bar* Jan 02 00:40:17 yes. Jan 02 00:40:39 * HH sighs "shame, man" Jan 02 00:40:49 Tough luck Jan 02 00:41:39 Pretty lassie, clearly aroused, and wasted on Saint Morgan O' Puritytown Jan 02 00:41:48 Give it a rest man Jan 02 00:42:01 * HH watches him Jan 02 00:42:46 Summat seriously goin' on in yer noggin' if yer snappy with me Jan 02 00:43:02 * Morgan sighs Jan 02 00:43:08 I don't know... its difficult.

Molly remains standing "do you wish me to leave you and your friend alone?" Jan 02 14:40:07 Not if I'm honest... Jan 02 14:40:53 *Molly nods, watching Morgan* I can stay Jan 02 14:41:03 Then please, do Jan 02 14:41:34 *she looks around as if searching for something* Jan 02 14:41:48 * HH looks at her, then Morgan Jan 02 14:41:51 What are you after? Jan 02 14:42:11 M: I thought there might be another chair... Jan 02 14:42:29 AH, you were uncomfortable... Jan 02 14:42:43 $think she's looking to you for an invite, you plank$ Jan 02 14:43:00 M: no, it was... comfortable Jan 02 14:43:58 Then maybe you'd like to sit with me again? Jan 02 14:44:11 * Morgan glances at HeinzHarold Jan 02 14:44:22 $This isn't easy, shut up$ Jan 02 14:44:26 *she nods, blushing* if it's not uncomfortable for you Jan 02 14:46:18 No, not at all Jan 02 14:46:34 $just trying to help$ Jan 02 14:47:09 *Molly sits back in her lap with her glass, sipping it* Jan 02 14:48:00 * Morgan sips his drink Jan 02 14:48:04 You were saying... Jan 02 14:48:19 *its nice, but quite strong* Jan 02 14:48:25 Where was I? Jan 02 14:49:54 Claudia... Jan 02 14:50:10 In love with a noble Jan 02 14:50:34 Don't... who? Jan 02 14:50:54 Freiarrin Rhienpfalz Jan 02 14:51:00 * HH grins Jan 02 14:51:11 You're shitting me Jan 02 14:51:32 Nun uh. I've seen 'em together Jan 02 14:52:48 but... she's a woman Jan 02 14:52:56 Yep Jan 02 14:53:08 * Morgan sips his drink, once again putting his arm around Molly's waist Jan 02 14:53:19 but... Claudia... Jan 02 14:53:38 *Molly relaxes more against him* Jan 02 14:53:56 Is a woman too, shockingly Jan 02 14:55:00 I never figured... huh... Jan 02 14:55:21 I know, she doesn't dress or b'have like one Jan 02 14:56:07 * Morgan nods Jan 02 14:56:17 yeah... what? No, you moron Jan 02 14:57:15 She's ne'er fancied me, this makes perfect sense Jan 02 14:57:47 *Molly fidgets a little again, getting more comfortable* Jan 02 14:58:25 * Morgan moves slightly, pulling her closer absently Jan 02 14:58:37 Much as I hate to admit it... that does make a certain sense Jan 02 14:59:15 *her breath catches a moment. HH nods* yeah man. She's married though Jan 02 14:59:30 To that Freiarr... Jan 02 14:59:34 * Morgan glances at Molly Jan 02 14:59:37 You ok? Jan 02 14:59:55 *she nods, blushing* yes, thank you Jan 02 15:00:07 * HH smiles, sipping his drink Jan 02 15:00:30 Tha's generally how bein' a Freiarrin works Jan 02 15:01:44 * Morgan nods, rubbing her flank briefly as he looks back to HeinzHarold Jan 02 15:01:49 There've been some that aren't... Jan 02 15:02:53 *Molly fidgets a little through her hips* Jan 02 15:03:05 Yeah, but this one's married Jan 02 15:03:38 * Morgan nods Jan 02 15:03:43 What's she going to do about it? Jan 02 15:04:31 Fuck knows. Not like they could get married any'ow, so they'll prob'ly just keep beddin' each other Jan 02 15:04:49 Hang on... -keep- bedding eachother? Jan 02 15:05:27 Yeah. When I caught 'em they weren't in a bed, but y' know what I mean Jan 02 15:05:40 * Morgan nods slowly Jan 02 15:05:44 That is a bit of a mess Jan 02 15:05:54 *Molly leans back a bit more, head resting back to his shoulder p* Jan 02 15:06:09 Yeah. It's mutual though Jan 02 15:06:42 Thats got to be tough Jan 02 15:07:03 * HH nods Jan 02 15:07:39 Yeah. That's why she's prob'ly not gonna beat you Jan 02 15:07:56 Small mercies Jan 02 15:09:12 *Molly inhales deeply before sipping her drink* Jan 02 15:09:26 What y' goin' to Carleon for? Jan 02 15:13:56 I'm not sure anymore... seems our original intent no longer applies... Jan 02 15:14:32 Makes 'bout as much sense as y' usually do Jan 02 15:15:33 * Morgan nods Jan 02 15:16:02 Yeah... were going to get her verified by a doctor but... seems the marriage isn't what she really wants... Jan 02 15:16:19 * HH looks confused Jan 02 15:16:26 Marriage to who? Jan 02 15:16:57 Some very minor noble Jan 02 15:17:10 * HH watches her a moment Jan 02 15:17:31 Yeah, don' think that's gon' go well Jan 02 15:18:18 Our employer has offered her a job in one of her houses instead... Jan 02 15:19:28 Good luck gettin' rid of her, right now she looks like she's right where she wants t' be Jan 02 15:20:28 Really? Jan 02 15:21:04 * HH nods Jan 02 15:21:12 Yeah Jan 02 15:21:12 That rather complicates matters Jan 02 15:21:48 *Molly fidgets again* Jan 02 15:22:03 * Morgan squeezes her automatically Jan 02 15:22:16 Complicates it f' her future 'usband for sure Jan 02 15:22:44 *her stomach twitches beneath his hand* Jan 02 15:22:55 * Morgan looks at her Jan 02 15:23:00 Are you alright? Jan 02 15:24:01 * HH nods, twisting so she can see him a bit better. He can see her pupils are much larger than the light of the room would cause Jan 02 15:24:06 Yes, I am Jan 02 15:24:09 M* Jan 02 15:24:19 * Morgan nods slowly Jan 02 15:24:23 Alright Jan 02 15:24:40 M: Am I discomfiting you? Jan 02 15:25:00 No, not at all... you just tensed, thats all Jan 02 15:25:25 M: Sorry. I wasn't uncomfortable Jan 02 15:25:52 * Morgan nods, stroking her side gently before looking back to HeinzHarold Jan 02 15:26:16 I think the plan for marriage was mostly off the table anyway... Jan 02 15:26:23 *she exhales slowly* Jan 02 15:26:41 * HH nods "yeah..." Jan 02 15:27:57 * HH drinks a mouthful " I'm gonna find a messenger t' go tell Claudia where t' find us. I'll be back" Jan 02 15:28:42 * Morgan nods Jan 02 15:28:45 Alright man Jan 02 15:29:32 * HH gets up, leaving his cloak on the chair, and wanders towards the bar. She quietly sips her drink Jan 02 15:30:37 * Morgan sips his drink Jan 02 15:30:44 well... thats... complicated. Jan 02 15:31:08 That your family are unhappy without you? Jan 02 15:32:03 mostly Jan 02 15:32:28 * HH is now known as Molly Jan 02 15:33:39 * Molly fidgets again, once more settling her head back, though with her face turned in towards his neck a little. She inhales "mostly?" Jan 02 15:34:18 * Morgan nods Jan 02 15:35:01 Yeah... Jan 02 15:35:08 * Molly nods Jan 02 15:35:35 I think it's your shaving soap that made your coat smell so good earlier Jan 02 15:36:13 Oh? Jan 02 15:36:25 * Molly nods Jan 02 15:36:53 It's like... leather, cedar, amber... a hint of lemon Jan 02 15:38:05 * Morgan nods Jan 02 15:38:33 It's really lovely Jan 02 15:39:51 I quite like it Jan 02 15:40:40 It smells really good here... *she takes a deep breath* sorry, I'm getting distracted Jan 02 15:41:03 * Morgan nods slightly Jan 02 15:41:07 A little bit, yes Jan 02 15:42:15 * Molly sits up a little straighter, and he loses some of the warmth and pressure on his chest and shoulder Jan 02 15:42:36 Are you thinking of going to Eisen? Jan 02 15:43:26 * Morgan frowns slightly Jan 02 15:43:33 Its... something I must consider Jan 02 15:43:45 * Molly nods Jan 02 15:43:56 Your friend seems nice Jan 02 15:45:25 He is. He's quite keen on you... Jan 02 15:46:01 * Molly smiles Jan 02 15:46:19 He's far too handsome to be attracted to me! Jan 02 15:46:39 Nonsense... and I say that knowing exactly how handsome he is... Jan 02 15:46:56 I'm flattered... Jan 02 15:47:04 But... Jan 02 15:47:23 But I do not know him Jan 02 15:47:31 * Morgan nods Jan 02 15:48:12 * Molly sips her drink Jan 02 15:48:40 Are you sure me sitting like this is not hurting you? I'm not small Jan 02 15:49:43 Its absolutely fine... He was hoping to have you sat on his lap... I think he was about to roll out his entire flirting arsenal Jan 02 15:50:00 For me?! Jan 02 15:50:05 * Morgan nods Jan 02 15:50:17 I've seen him do it before Jan 02 15:50:31 Successfully? Jan 02 15:50:37 * Morgan nods Jan 02 15:50:44 In the camps, he was always very popular Jan 02 15:51:17 * Molly shuffles around, almost across his lap Jan 02 15:51:27 Were you? Jan 02 15:51:39 * Morgan shakes his head Jan 02 15:51:40 no Jan 02 15:52:02 * Molly watches him a moment Jan 02 15:52:05 Ohh Jan 02 15:52:37 Not that I tried and was unsuccessful... I just... didn't. Jan 02 15:52:44 * Molly nods Jan 02 15:53:07 Not that the girls were just silly or blind then Jan 02 15:54:43 I've never been popular in that respect Jan 02 15:55:01 I can't fathom why Jan 02 15:56:33 Ask HeinzHarold my nickname... Jan 02 15:59:12 * Molly smiles, biting her lip Jan 02 15:59:38 I cannot imagine anyone being brave enough to give you a nick name Jan 02 15:59:50 * Morgan looks a little sad Jan 02 16:00:02 I used to be a lot like him... he doesn't really know me anymore Jan 02 16:02:33 * Molly watches him a moment before she gently kisses his cheek "life has been cruel to you. When life is cruel, we make shells around ourselves to keep safe from further hurt" Jan 02 16:04:11 * Morgan looks at her, surprised Jan 02 16:05:26 * Molly blushes hard, looking flustered "oh god, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that" Jan 02 16:06:40 Uhh... why did you? Jan 02 16:07:02 * Molly fidgets a little, looking awkward Jan 02 16:07:34 You looked so sad my heart hurt. It was instinctive Jan 02 16:07:57 * Morgan watches her intently Jan 02 16:08:45 * Molly watches him back, eyes searching his, barely breathing. She whispers "sorry" Jan 02 16:09:22 * Morgan nods slightly, turning his head away slightly Jan 02 16:09:26 Would you do it again? Jan 02 16:10:01 Yes. I'm sorry I overstepped, but I don't regret it Jan 02 16:10:42 Oh! You meant it as a request.. Jan 02 16:10:51 * Morgan nods slightly Jan 02 16:11:57 * Molly gently presses her lips to his cheek, lingering there where her own soft cheek is touching his skin Jan 02 16:13:37 * Morgan sighs quietly Jan 02 16:15:08 *HH plonks down in his seat* She's only a mile up th' road, reck'n an hour tops Jan 02 16:15:26 * Morgan nods Jan 02 16:15:31 * Molly pulls away, chewing the outer corner of her bottom lip Jan 02 16:15:48 Best get Maelwys to prepare the linament Jan 02 16:16:57 HH: Yeah, incase she clocks y' Jan 02 16:17:19 * Morgan nods, taking a mouthful of his drink before putting the glass on the table Jan 02 16:17:21 exactly Jan 02 16:17:42 $Am I interrupting something?$ Jan 02 16:18:03 $Uhhh... I think you might be$ Jan 02 16:18:42 $need me to clear off?$ Jan 02 16:19:25 $Just for a few minutes$ Jan 02 16:20:56 *he stands up* right, let's find a lassie to dance with... *he wanders off* Jan 02 16:21:15 Oh dear... have I done something wrong? Jan 02 16:22:11 No... no you haven't Jan 02 16:22:50 * Molly nods, nervously wetting her lower lip before sipping her drink Jan 02 16:23:09 Good, I want to make a good impression on your friend Jan 02 16:23:57 * Morgan nods Jan 02 16:24:00 You needn't worry about it Jan 02 16:24:19 * Molly nods, smiling gently Jan 02 16:24:23 Alright Jan 02 16:25:39 I... I think I need to tell you something that I wasn't really... I didn't know until.... *he sighs frustratedly before taking her free hand in his* When he was flirting with you, trying to get you to sit with him... I was... jealous. I think... I care about you more than I realised... Jan 02 16:26:05 * Molly looks down at their hands Jan 02 16:26:09 Oh... Jan 02 16:27:05 * Morgan watches her for a moment before gently letting go of her hand Jan 02 16:27:13 Now it is I who have overstepped Jan 02 16:27:30 * Molly shakes her head, taking his hand again Jan 02 16:27:36 Surprised me Jan 02 16:27:47 Surprised the hell out of me Jan 02 16:28:20 * Molly nods Jan 02 16:28:54 Surprising... Jan 02 16:29:04 * Morgan watches her, nodding Jan 02 16:30:07 * Molly looks up at him, watching him intently Jan 02 16:30:21 I can't marry Curtis Jan 02 16:32:50 No... I think you do not feel enough for him to be happy Jan 02 16:33:21 * Molly shakes her head, still watching him Jan 02 16:35:38 In the moment it became obvious he was going to kiss me the first time, I felt apprehension, not intrigue or excitement... Jan 02 16:36:39 * Morgan nods Jan 02 16:36:47 That is not what you want... Jan 02 16:37:06 * Molly shakes her head "no..." Jan 02 16:38:07 * Morgan nods Jan 02 16:38:14 I would very much like to kiss you Jan 02 16:38:23 * Molly looks relieved Jan 02 16:38:35 Thank god! I wasn't sure how to ask you to! Jan 02 16:40:48 * Morgan shifts, bringing his face closer to hers Jan 02 16:41:37 * Molly shivers in his lap, very tentatively moving her hand from his to his shoulder Jan 02 16:46:14 * Morgan gently presses his lips to hers Jan 02 16:48:19 * Molly matches this pressure, her hand gently squeezing his shoulder Jan 02 16:49:57 * Morgan moves slightly, kissing her again Jan 02 16:50:38 * Molly fidgets closer, tilting her lips so that they fit better Jan 02 16:51:29 * Morgan parts his lips a little, putting more pressure on hers Jan 02 16:52:57 * Molly squirms a little in his lap, opening to him likewise, her hand grasping the fabric of his shirt Jan 02 16:53:52 * Morgan gently licks along her lip, exploring her gently Jan 02 16:54:37 * Molly makes a quiet sigh of pleasure, her tongue moving the meet his Jan 02 16:55:35 * Morgan does this gently for a minute before withdrawing, looking at her Jan 02 16:56:33 *if he missed the signs of arousal before, there's no chance of doing so now. She murmurs "wow" Jan 02 16:57:37 Yeah... Jan 02 16:58:43 * Molly gently kisses him again, interrupted by Maelwys saying "get a room!" and chuckling. Jan 02 16:59:02 * Morgan blushes Jan 02 16:59:13 That, ummm... complicates things... Jan 02 16:59:28 * Molly blushes too, biting her lip Jan 02 16:59:32 Sorry Jan 02 16:59:54 * Morgan shakes his head Jan 02 17:00:09 I'd have realised eventually Jan 02 17:00:45 * Molly nods, fidgeting once more Jan 02 17:01:06 It's not optimal when you have so much to think on Jan 02 17:02:28 * Morgan shrugs Jan 02 17:02:31 It is what it is Jan 02 17:03:13 * Molly nods, taking a couple of deep breaths Jan 02 17:03:23 I think I should retire Jan 02 17:04:35 If you're sure... I don't want you to go thinking I wish you to leave... Jan 02 17:05:19 * Molly nods "I'll appreciate the fresh air walking around the back of the building to the rooms" Jan 02 17:06:17 You shouldn't go alone... just to be safe Jan 02 17:06:41 * Molly nods "alright" Jan 02 17:06:59 * Morgan nods Jan 02 17:07:12 Alright then Jan 02 17:07:47 * Molly downs the last of her drink before slowly getting off his lap Jan 02 17:08:25 * Morgan gets up Jan 02 17:08:57 * Molly smooths down her skirts Jan 02 17:09:52 I'm ready Jan 02 17:10:08 * Morgan nods, offering his hand Jan 02 17:10:38 * Molly takes it. At present it's warm, but it's going to be freezing outside Jan 02 17:11:24 * Morgan pulls his coat off the back of the chair, draping it over her shoulders Jan 02 17:11:29 Going to be cold out Jan 02 17:11:53 * Molly brings the collar up, inhaling deeply Jan 02 17:11:58 It will Jan 02 17:12:18 * Morgan leads her towards the door, calling to Maelwys that he'll be back Jan 02 17:13:34 * Molly walks beside him. It's indeed very dark, but the rooms are close. He has the key, and she stands patiently beside the door Jan 02 17:14:07 * Morgan unlocks her room before pressing the key into her palm Jan 02 17:14:47 * Molly rubs the side of his hand with her thumb Jan 02 17:15:21 Goodnight then... *she watches him* Jan 02 17:16:35 * Morgan nods, holding on to her hand Jan 02 17:17:16 * Molly chews her lip a moment before rising up to kiss his cheek Jan 02 17:17:51 I wouldn't even know how to ask you to stay a little longer... Jan 02 17:18:12 Plainly, if thats what you wanted Jan 02 17:18:22 * Molly nods Jan 02 17:18:25 I do Jan 02 17:18:40 Lets get you inside before you freeze Jan 02 17:21:01 * Molly nods, going in. The room is very simple, though Maelwys has had a fire lit. A door adjoins to his own, or his and Heinzharold and probably Claudia as well's room Jan 02 17:23:42 *there's a window seat that overlooks the stones, where she was sat barefoot earlier, a dining chair by a tiny table, and a bed. She removes his coat, not seeming to know whether to put it down or give it back "I have nothing to offer you..." Jan 02 17:24:46 * Morgan nods Jan 02 17:25:00 Maelwys doesn't like kettles in the rooms... takes away from his trade... Jan 02 17:25:52 * Molly nods. She puts it on the back of the chair. Jan 02 17:26:03 Do you wish to sit? Jan 02 17:26:12 If you like Jan 02 17:26:35 * Molly sits on the edge of the bed Jan 02 17:27:06 * Morgan moves to sit by her Jan 02 17:27:34 * Molly watches him "I have no idea what I am doing..." Jan 02 17:28:15 It didn't seem that way... Jan 02 17:28:48 * Molly smiles gently "I'm glad it didn't" Jan 02 17:29:08 * Morgan smiles slightly Jan 02 17:29:18 What is it you wish? To talk? Jan 02 17:29:52 I... I don't know... I think we might need to, but... Jan 02 17:32:12 But... Jan 02 17:32:53 But... *she moves a bit, kneeling on the bed so she can reach to kiss him again* Jan 02 17:34:50 * Morgan kisses her again Jan 02 17:36:16 * Molly seems a bit more at ease this time, exploring his tongue with hers with more confidence Jan 02 17:37:38 * Morgan kisses her for a few minutes before pulling away Jan 02 17:38:14 * Molly watches him, breathing harder Jan 02 17:38:19 You're going? Jan 02 17:39:14 * Morgan takes her hand, kissing her knuckles Jan 02 17:40:06 HeinzHarold is my oldest, best friend... if I am not to return to Eisen, I'd like to spend some time with him Jan 02 17:40:22 * Molly nods Jan 02 17:41:39 I will reluctantly let you go then... *she smiles* besides, this isn't too comfortable on my knees, and I'd either have needed to move to straddle your lap or we'd have needed to lay beside each other Jan 02 17:43:01 * Morgan blushes Jan 02 17:44:17 I uhh... we'll talk in the morning? Jan 02 17:44:38 * Molly nods, standing up Jan 02 17:44:43 We will Jan 02 17:46:21 * Morgan nods, standing up Jan 02 17:46:47 * Morgan sighs, looking at her solemnly Jan 02 17:46:50 I don't know what to do Jan 02 17:47:06 About Eisen...? Jan 02 17:47:20 * Morgan nods Jan 02 17:47:32 And you... I would not stand in the way of your happiness... Jan 02 17:48:13 Sleep on it... maybe things will look clearer in the morning Jan 02 17:48:53 * Morgan nods, moving to press his lips to hers momentarily Jan 02 17:48:55 Goodnight blossom Jan 02 17:49:23 * Molly sighs softly "Goodnight, Morgan" Jan 02 17:51:33 * Morgan looks at her for a moment before inclining his head and moving to the door Jan 02 17:52:11 * Molly follows, an arm around her waist much as he had it in the bar Jan 02 17:52:36 Sleep well Jan 02 17:53:13 * Morgan smiles slightly as he opens the door Jan 02 17:53:17 That'd make a change Jan 02 17:54:17 * Molly looks thoughtful a moment before nodding "Will you be up and ready to go early?" Jan 02 17:55:33 I imagine so... Jan 02 17:56:17 * Molly kisses his cheek once more on the threshold "good night then" Jan 02 17:56:43 Goodnight blossom Jan 02 17:57:47 * Molly lets him leave. He's halfway across the courtyard when the warmth of their kissing wears off and the chill sets in, making him realise he's left his coat Jan 02 17:58:47 * Morgan hunches his shoulders, hurrying towards the main door of the inn Jan 02 18:22:40 * Molly is now known as HH Jan 02 18:23:04 * HH is sat by the fire, drinking ale this time. He looks surprised to see Morgan Jan 02 18:23:13 Quicker'an I expected Jan 02 18:27:08 What? Don't be stupid. Jan 02 18:27:27 * HH chuckles Jan 02 18:27:44 She okay, or did y' mess up? Jan 02 18:27:58 She's fine. Its not like that. Jan 02 18:28:45 You were th' one who wanted left alone! Jan 02 18:31:13 Yes... so... I could explain... look, I didn't even realise I liked her that much until you tried to get her in your lap... Jan 02 18:33:03 She seemed pretty open to it Jan 02 18:33:57 * HH sips the ale Jan 02 18:37:20 * Morgan nods Jan 02 18:37:28 We're going to talk about it tomorrow... Jan 02 18:49:06 She's mad about you Jan 02 18:59:57 Reckon? Jan 02 19:01:35 Yep, jus' sat in yer lap she looked like ' cat that got the cream Jan 02 19:01:57 * Morgan rubs his chin Jan 02 19:02:51 That's going to complicate things Jan 02 19:03:08 Depends, doesn' it? Jan 02 19:03:15 Does it? Jan 02 19:03:27 If yer comin' 'ome Jan 02 19:04:04 I think... I probably should... for a time at least Jan 02 19:04:59 * HH nods Jan 02 19:05:33 Was thinkin' 'bout what ya said, not wanting to take a child from yer Ma like 'append to you... Jan 02 19:06:24 * Morgan watches him, sipping his ale Jan 02 19:08:04 Tha's sorta what y've already done by stayin' away. She's lost you. Let's be honest, her fav'rit kid. Jan 02 19:08:18 * Morgan looks deeply upset and hurt Jan 02 19:09:41 Sorry, man, but sometimes y' need honesty. I'm not tellin' y' to come 'ome, but y' gotta give them some closure. They miss you. Hell, Sudlachenburg fuckin' misses you. Jan 02 19:10:04 I'm not who I was anymore man Jan 02 19:10:41 Pretty sure a mother's love ain't conditional Jan 02 19:11:24 I'm not the person she, or Sudlachenburg misses Jan 02 19:11:42 Horseshit Jan 02 19:12:05 * Morgan shakes his head Jan 02 19:12:22 I'm not. I'm... little aside from hate and suspicion Jan 02 19:13:04 Yet 'ere we are, you an' me, as if y'd never left. Don't seem tha' changed t' me. Jan 02 19:14:51 This place... this isn't me... I work in a house where I'm just... awful. Jan 02 19:15:31 Home ain't you, this ain't you. Seems like th' problem is -you- ain't got a clue who -you- are Jan 02 19:16:02 * Morgan shrugs, sitting back and taking a mouthful of ale Jan 02 19:16:45 Doesn't matter who I think I am... I'm hellbent on getting myself killed... just as soon as I find something capable of taking me down Jan 02 19:17:48 Then y' need to leave that lassie th' fuck alone, b'cause if you wanna be a selfish bastard like that yer gonna destroy her. Jan 02 19:18:45 * Morgan downs the rest of his ale Jan 02 19:20:53 I'm not that cruel... hell, you've got to understand, I never thought I could care about anyone like that... Jan 02 19:21:12 * HH nods Jan 02 19:22:09 Yeah, I know. Like my Ma with my Da. But y' knew him, y' know he'da hated t' see her with no one takin' care of her an' managing life alone Jan 02 19:24:05 * Morgan sighs heavily Jan 02 19:24:16 How is your ma? Jan 02 19:25:14 She's okay. Misses you. Thought mebbie you'da shown up a few days later, mebbie you'd stayed with us, she'd taken care of you Jan 02 19:25:47 If it had been anyone else... Jan 02 19:25:55 * HH nods Jan 02 19:26:52 Yeah. Mebbie he could be sent t' Catterick, get 'im in place f' taking o'er from yer Uncle one day Jan 02 19:27:26 I don't think... I can put mother through that Jan 02 19:28:10 What about you goin' there? Jan 02 19:28:33 * Morgan shrugs Jan 02 19:28:37 Something to consider I suppose Jan 02 19:28:47 * HH nods Jan 02 19:29:05 Might help yer Da. Y' say yer working? Jan 02 19:29:40 * Morgan nods Jan 02 19:30:11 Helps y' stay outta yer allowance so we couldn' find ya? Jan 02 19:30:57 My allowance? Jan 02 19:31:18 Yeah, th' money yer Da gives ya Jan 02 19:31:50 He's still doing that? After marrying Dietlinde I figured he'd have stopped Jan 02 19:32:00 * HH shakes his head Jan 02 19:32:24 Never stopped. Gotta be th' best part of five thou now Jan 02 19:32:36 * Morgan rubs his forehead Jan 02 19:32:41 Oh... Jan 02 19:32:57 * HH sips his ale Jan 02 19:33:53 So when y' leave her 'ere and go 'one or Catterick, you could leave 'er well set up, no need t' marry the guy she's willin' to cheat on with you Jan 02 19:34:11 * Morgan glares at him Jan 02 19:34:13 You take that back Jan 02 19:34:30 * HH nods Jan 02 19:34:37 Alright, I take it back Jan 02 19:35:50 She doesn't feel anything for him... I was escorting her to be confirmed a virgin to satisfy his wants... my employer thinks it barbaric and has offered her the job of house keeper in her home in Carleon... Jan 02 19:36:26 Yeah... but she likes -you-. An' you like -her-w Jan 02 19:36:58 Yeah... but she wasn't ... nevermind Jan 02 19:37:13 Wasn't what? Jan 02 19:38:33 Doesn't matter Jan 02 19:38:50 * HH just waits, watching him Jan 02 19:40:28 She's been treated badly... he was a way to get her away from the mayhem of that house, keep her safe, thats all Jan 02 19:41:09 Yeah. Doesn' explain what th' hell she sees in you Jan 02 19:42:02 * Morgan shrugs Jan 02 19:42:06 I've got no idea Jan 02 19:43:01 * HH nods "wondered if it might be tha' drink" Jan 02 19:43:18 That'd make sense Jan 02 19:43:40 Nothin' been goin' on until tonight? Jan 02 19:44:53 * Morgan shakes his head Jan 02 19:45:01 No... more I think about it, more sense it makes Jan 02 19:45:15 The drink? Jan 02 19:45:21 * Morgan nods Jan 02 19:45:52 Gon' be awkward in th' mornin' then Jan 02 19:46:59 * Morgan nods Jan 02 19:47:20 Idea of setting her up somewhere holds water though Jan 02 19:48:34 * HH shrugs "wouldn' need to feel obligated. Must be a relief that it's all th' drink, an' not that she's ackshully keen on you or wants you?" Jan 02 19:49:31 I care about her... I pushed her to find a way out of that house. As for it being a relief... you'd think so... Jan 02 19:49:50 * HH nods Jan 02 19:51:03 Yeah. Sounds like yer heart wasn' really in it anyway. Just a random, meaningless evenin' an' a bit of enjoyment havin' a horny pretty lassie in yer lap. Bit like my life *he grins* Jan 02 19:51:50 * Morgan frowns Jan 02 19:51:58 Its not like that... -I'm- not like that Jan 02 19:52:54 Y' don't wanna have another woman in yer life, but I saw th' way y' kept pullin' 'er closer Jan 02 19:53:45 * Morgan looks confused Jan 02 19:54:02 I don't... no, I wasn't... Jan 02 19:54:33 Well how you reck'n yer arms ended up around 'er waist then? Jan 02 19:58:03 Didn't even realise I'd done it... it just... felt... natural. Jan 02 19:58:50 Prob'ly didn't realise y' were stroking down 'er side too. Then e'ery time she reacted to it y' asked if she was okay Jan 02 19:59:04 * Morgan frowns Jan 02 19:59:33 No... I didn't realise I'd done that... her reaction would be down to the drink though... Jan 02 20:00:37 * HH shrugs "in my experience that often gets them sighin' and shiverin' an'ow" Jan 02 20:01:22 * Morgan sighs, getting up and fetching more drinks before sitting back down Jan 02 20:02:01 Y' say yer takin' her to get confirmed as a virgin? Jan 02 20:02:44 I was... she says she can't marry him, and she has a job offer to avoid it, so she doesn't need to anymore Jan 02 20:02:52 * HH nods Jan 02 20:03:01 Betrothed the virile type? Jan 02 20:03:24 Surprised he can stand erect, let alone anything else Jan 02 20:03:34 * HH sniggers Jan 02 20:04:01 She prob'ly doesn' have much o' a clue what she was feelin' in yer lap then Jan 02 20:06:58 Comfortable is what she was feeling... Jan 02 20:07:22 * HH laughs Jan 02 20:07:54 I love you, man, but yer knowledge o' women leaves a lot t' be desired Jan 02 20:08:29 *he hears footsteps approach* Jan 02 20:08:58 * Morgan looks round Jan 02 20:09:16 *it's Claudia* Jan 02 20:09:29 * Morgan swallows hard, standing up Jan 02 20:11:17 Oh good, an expert! Claudia, say I have a pretty girl in my lap, yeah, an she's got wide pupils, flushed cheeks and chest, keeps blushing an' fidgetin', then when I ask if she's okay she says it's very comfortable, what does she mean? Jan 02 20:12:00 *Claudia rolls her eyes* Come off it, it means she's aroused and attracted to you. What are you, fifteen?! Jan 02 20:12:19 * Morgan glances at HeinzHarold Jan 02 20:12:26 * HH looks smug Jan 02 20:12:28 That'll be the drink Jan 02 20:13:26 Won't be b'cause y' were holding her an' strokin' her Jan 02 20:13:43 * Morgan shakes his head slightly, looking back at Claudia Jan 02 20:13:57 C: *she looks between them* What the hell is going on? Jan 02 20:14:13 He's being moronic, thats all Jan 02 20:14:52 He's had a gorgeous lassie in his lap an' is in denial that she fancies him Jan 02 20:15:12 C: *she shrugs* How tall is she? Jan 02 20:15:28 * HH grins "short enough that you'll like 'er" Jan 02 20:16:21 Five four Jan 02 20:17:13 C: *she nods* pushing it. Anyway, I have enough women trouble. *she looks at Morgan* Now you do too Jan 02 20:18:11 * Morgan shrugs Jan 02 20:18:27 He reckoned it was down to the drink, I'm inclined to agree Jan 02 20:19:01 C: I meant me. *she punches him very hard in the arm, fortunately his left* Jan 02 20:20:07 * Morgan rubs at it, finding another chair to drag over before sitting down Jan 02 20:20:11 Not so bad as I expected Jan 02 20:20:11 I was only sayin' tha' to help y' realise you were disappointed that she might not really fancy y' Jan 02 20:21:43 * Morgan sighs, drinking half his ale Jan 02 20:22:42 C: *she sits down* you're not dead then Jan 02 20:23:18 No. I'm not dead. Jan 02 20:26:37 C: coming home? Jan 02 20:28:03 I don't know yet. Think maybe I should, even if just for a little while Jan 02 20:28:21 * HH is now known as Claudia Jan 02 20:28:36 You can meet Hannalore Jan 02 20:30:34 She this Freiarrin? Jan 02 20:30:49 * Claudia nods, smiling Jan 02 20:30:52 Yeah Jan 02 20:31:12 You've got it bad... Jan 02 20:31:41 HH: She gets it good, that's how she got it bad Jan 02 20:31:48 * Claudia laughs Jan 02 20:32:50 Yeah, accurate Jan 02 20:35:03 But she's married... Jan 02 20:36:03 Her husband doesn't believe that it's possible for two women to have sex because there's no penis involved, therefore he doesn't believe she's cheating Jan 02 20:39:08 Oh... and he's part of the ruling elite... god help us Jan 02 20:40:00 HH: No wonder she's sleepin' with Claudia if 'e doesn't unnerstand how to play th' female fiddle Jan 02 20:40:57 * Claudia nods Jan 02 20:41:57 * Morgan sighs, picking up his drink and swirling it Jan 02 20:42:47 HH: Y' need some advice, man? Claudia will teach y' everything she knows Jan 02 20:43:08 So will Heinzharold, if you can spare twenty seconds! Jan 02 20:44:30 I don't... I don't know what to do Jan 02 20:45:16 HH: best way is t' start by running yer hands up her thighs when y' kiss her Jan 02 20:45:44 Shut up man Jan 02 20:45:52 *HH laughs* Jan 02 20:46:11 Is it a sex question, or a woman question? Jan 02 20:46:34 * Morgan looks at her Jan 02 20:46:56 I never expected to care for anyone like that... I'm... adrift... Jan 02 20:48:18 * Claudia nods Jan 02 20:48:51 Yeah, I get that. Which is scarier, living with her, or leaving now and having to live without her? Jan 02 20:49:29 I don't... know.... I didn't even realise until this dickhead was trying to get his grubby little paws on her Jan 02 20:51:07 HH: *he looks at Claudia* two chairs, he'd already said she didn't belong to him. All I did was invite her to sit in m' lap Jan 02 20:51:27 * Claudia looks at Morgan "that sounds fair" Jan 02 20:52:13 I'd already asked him to back off....and thats about the point I realised I was jealous Jan 02 20:53:17 HH: then he had her all loved up in 'is lap. Reck'n I did you a favour, man Jan 02 20:56:28 * Morgan shrugs, downing the rest of his ale Jan 02 20:57:34 Where is she? Jan 02 20:57:46 In her room Jan 02 20:58:08 Did you sleep with her? Jan 02 20:58:28 No! Jan 02 20:58:36 * Claudia shrugs Jan 02 20:58:52 It happens. You love her? Jan 02 20:59:06 * Morgan looks distinctly uncomfortable Jan 02 20:59:29 I've only just realised that I care for her more than would be... usual... Jan 02 20:59:55 That's not no. Usual for who? Jan 02 21:00:39 For someone who is someones friend Jan 02 21:01:58 Maybe it's more than that Jan 02 21:02:15 * Morgan shrugs Jan 02 21:02:17 I don't know Jan 02 21:02:38 Are you going to sabotage it before you get to find out? Jan 02 21:03:36 I... I don't know what to do... she's got a job waiting for her, and I've either got to go home or return to a place that'll get me killed... eventually... Jan 02 21:04:02 HH: or buy yerself a farm, live yer best life Jan 02 21:04:38 Wasn't an option til just now Jan 02 21:05:08 She might go with you, if she feels the same? Jan 02 21:05:30 * Morgan shrugs Jan 02 21:05:45 Perhaps... Jan 02 21:06:09 * Claudia nods Jan 02 21:06:21 Sounds like you need to get drunk Jan 02 21:07:25 * Morgan looks at HeinzHarold Jan 02 21:07:29 HH: Good idea. Can't get too forward if yer chap won't point anything but down Jan 02 21:07:31 Can tell she hasn't had anything yet Jan 02 21:08:39 Sun'd come up before this stuff would get you drunk Jan 02 21:09:01 They must have whiskey at least? Jan 02 21:09:51 Got something you want to clean? Jan 02 21:10:21 No. They got any rooms? Jan 02 21:12:31 Nope. You pair can bunk in my room Jan 02 21:13:40 Where are you going to sleep? *Hh starts chuckling* Jan 02 21:14:54 I know you're joking but... I probably won't sleep. Jan 02 21:15:23 HH: all th' butterflies in yer tummy? Jan 02 21:15:45 * Morgan shakes his head, not meeting his eyes Jan 02 21:16:22 HH grins: summat else, eh? Solo shuffle will fix that right up! Jan 02 21:16:30 * Morgan speaks quietly Jan 02 21:16:47 No man... I've had nightmares every night since the fire Jan 02 21:17:32 *this does make HH behave* HH: yeah, that sucks. I get 'em every week or so still Jan 02 21:18:00 * Morgan nods Jan 02 21:18:12 I get a lot of work done while everyone else sleeps Jan 02 21:18:38 HH: sleepin' in with Claudia makes it better Jan 02 21:19:33 * Morgan nods, calling to Maelwys for whiskey Jan 02 21:20:28 Then you get to pick his stinking feet in your face, or his snoring. Either way, he farts on you in the middle Jan 02 21:20:48 Not a lots changed there then Jan 02 21:21:00 * Claudia shakes her head Jan 02 21:21:19 No, just you not being there Jan 02 21:21:47 * Morgan nods Jan 02 21:22:16 HH: An' Claudia sleeping with girls Jan 02 21:22:41 * Claudia shrugs "that's been going on for years, you just didn't realise" Jan 02 21:24:14 Its something of a surprise... Jan 02 21:24:38 HH: Saint Morgan took it with good grace Jan 02 21:26:06 * Claudia shrugs "I've liked girls too since I was fourteen. Men have been a big disappointment, so I steer clear. Women are prettier, take better care of themselves, and don't stink so much Jan 02 21:26:35 Certainly less than HeinzHarold Jan 02 21:26:49 Not much smells worse! Jan 02 21:27:42 * Morgan smiles slightly Jan 02 21:28:51 *the whiskey comes, and the others start drinking. There's no more recriminations, nor asking what he's planning to do. It's like they've not really changed and he is just accepted back in as if he'd never left* Jan 02 21:29:59 * Morgan drinks his whiskey, trying to just enjoy being with his friends Jan 02 21:30:55 *it's a few hours later when they have polished off two bottles and are slightly drunk as they cross the yard to the room* Jan 02 21:32:02 *he notices that there's still light from Molly's room. The idea that perhaps she's fallen asleep with a lit candle that could fall and catch something alight is sobering* Jan 02 21:33:19 * Morgan points to his room Jan 02 21:33:25 I'll be in in a minute Jan 02 21:33:59 *HH wriggles his eyebrows* gotta say g'night again, eh? Jan 02 21:34:15 * Claudia slaps his head "shut up, Heinzharold" Jan 02 21:34:23 No... there's a candle lit, want to make sure she's safe Jan 02 21:34:45 * Claudia and HH go in Jan 02 21:35:22 * Morgan goes to Molly's door, knocking Jan 02 21:35:31 * Claudia is now known as Molly Jan 02 21:35:34 Uhh yes? Jan 02 21:35:55 Are you alright? I noticed the candle and was concerned... Jan 02 21:36:31 Yes.... I... think I might have a bit of a fever and can't sleep, but don't worry Jan 02 21:37:12 If you are unwell I know the local doctor... Jan 02 21:37:46 I'll see how I feel in a few hours, I think Jan 02 21:38:34 Do you need anything? Jan 02 21:38:54 No, I think I'm alright. Thank you Jan 02 22:24:32 Please, don't panic. I just feel a bit hot and restless. It's likely nothing Jan 02 22:27:33 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jan 02 22:38:48 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jan 02 22:39:31 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Jan 02 22:40:06 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Jan 02 22:40:31 [22:09:58] Molly: Please, don't panic. I just feel a bit hot and restless. It's likely nothing Jan 02 22:41:03 Alright blossom... call for me if you need anything Jan 02 22:41:37 Thank you Jan 02 22:41:58 Don't forget to extinguish the candle please Jan 02 22:43:36 I won't Jan 02 22:44:17 * Morgan nods, going into his room Jan 02 22:45:15 *HH and Claudia are still getting outdoor clothes off* Jan 02 22:45:19 * MollyK is now known as HH Jan 02 22:45:46 You gotta see this lovebite, man! Jan 02 22:47:05 Thats your arse Jan 02 22:48:01 * HH laughs. Claudia moves her shirt collar down, a large deep lovebite at the base of her neck Jan 02 22:49:03 Good lord Jan 02 22:49:46 C: hurt like hell about ten minutes later. This is from a week ago Jan 02 22:50:49 Was she trying to keep a chunk of you for herself? Jan 02 22:50:54 * HH kicks back on what should be Morgan's bed Jan 02 22:51:12 It's a sex thing, y' wouldn' unnerstand Jan 02 22:52:29 C: Even if he's been a monk since he left, I'm sure he's had lovebites before Jan 02 22:52:54 * Morgan doesn't reply, going to sit in the corner Jan 02 22:53:15 I'm jus' jokin' man Jan 02 22:54:52 * Morgan nods, shuffling until his back is against the corner Jan 02 22:55:05 How's yer lassie? Jan 02 22:55:11 * Morgan frowns Jan 02 22:55:22 Says she's feeling like she has a fever... Jan 02 22:55:50 * HH displays some genuine concern Jan 02 22:56:22 I can go look f' a doctor... Jan 02 22:57:45 I've already offered... she reckons she'll be fine Jan 02 22:58:01 Just feverish? Jan 02 22:59:08 And restless Jan 02 22:59:38 C: *she plonks down on the bed* hot and restless... Jan 02 23:01:13 * Morgan nods, leaning his head back against the wall Jan 02 23:01:31 Sounds like arousal t' me Jan 02 23:02:45 Reckon? Jan 02 23:02:55 Yep Jan 02 23:03:29 C: For a change, I agree with him Jan 02 23:04:42 * Morgan nods Jan 02 23:05:11 She pretty innocent? Jan 02 23:06:02 Am I the right person to ask? Jan 02 23:06:35 Good point. Poor thing, gonna be a tough night Jan 02 23:07:19 C: sounds like Heinzharold would be offering a hand if it wasn't for you Jan 02 23:08:50 * Morgan nods Jan 02 23:08:52 Reckon so Jan 02 23:09:31 Damn right I woulda. Woulda taken her to bed hours ago Jan 02 23:10:30 She's not some camp wench man Jan 02 23:11:39 Ne'er said she was, but she's pretty, seems nice, an' she's frustrated. Wouldn'ta been disrespectful Jan 02 23:13:07 * Morgan frowns Jan 02 23:13:19 Feels it Jan 02 23:13:47 Only b'cause yer jealous Jan 02 23:14:24 * Morgan shrugs Jan 02 23:14:30 Its always felt disrespectful to me Jan 02 23:15:35 She'da been gi'en all the enjoyment she wanted, nothin' more, nothin' expected in return Jan 02 23:15:49 C: He's pretty rare Jan 02 23:16:07 I suppose so Jan 02 23:16:53 E'en Claudia coulda done a passable job Jan 02 23:17:38 *she scoffs* fuck off, I know more about pleasing women that you would if you lived to a thousand Jan 02 23:19:34 * Morgan watches them quietly Jan 02 23:20:06 Yeah, but I have an advantage y' don't, see? Jan 02 23:20:50 C: -that- is hardly an advantage. You cum once and you're done! Jan 02 23:21:14 * Morgan mutters Jan 02 23:21:16 For shame Jan 02 23:21:49 I'll 'ave you know I managed three in an hour once! Jan 02 23:22:24 C: *she scoffs again* three?! Wow! So amazing! Jan 02 23:23:14 * Morgan smiles slightly, closing his eyes Jan 02 23:24:00 Well how many have you managed?! Jan 02 23:24:47 C: Hannalore and I hit a hundred between us in forty five minutes last month Jan 02 23:25:12 Horseshit! Tell her that's horseshit, man! Jan 02 23:25:22 Sounds like it Jan 02 23:26:08 C: I swear on my favourite sword Jan 02 23:26:32 Fuuuuck. That's crazy! Jan 02 23:26:56 * Morgan smiles slightly Jan 02 23:27:32 C: not crazy if you aren't cursed with a penis Jan 02 23:28:01 *he sighs* We pulled th' short straw, man Jan 02 23:28:34 Speak for yourself, mines just fine Jan 02 23:29:10 *this makes them both laugh, a sound he hadn't expected to ever hear again* Jan 02 23:29:35 * Morgan smiles, opening one eye Jan 02 23:29:40 I've missed you Jan 02 23:30:27 * HH and Claudia are both using their thumbs and index fingers to imply something small, not expecting to be seen Jan 02 23:30:42 Yeah? Did y' have a bow? Jan 02 23:31:10 * Morgan closes his eye Jan 02 23:31:19 Even if you are both a pair of dickheads Jan 02 23:31:40 It's the only dick Claudia's got Jan 02 23:32:00 I tried using a bow while I was staying here... I hit a rabbit... Jan 02 23:32:20 Whoa, good work! Jan 02 23:32:33 Good hundred yards away too... Jan 02 23:32:49 C: miracle Jan 02 23:33:07 course... I was aiming at the trunk of a massive great oak tree about thirty feet away Jan 02 23:34:49 *the both laugh again. It sounds like the end of the War, before he'd married and his time had been taken up with romance and home comforts. He'd grown up suddenly and his friendships had moved to the back burner* Jan 02 23:36:17 I swear the leafy bastard jumped out of the way Jan 02 23:36:38 *they laugh again* C: I do have a dick. Two actually. One is wooden, from Castile, the other is this weird black stone from Vesten. Obisidun, or something. Jan 02 23:37:09 Obsidian? Jan 02 23:37:38 C: yeah, that's it. Han's Mother was Vesten Jan 02 23:38:05 Hold on, you use her mother's fake dick?! Jan 02 23:38:22 She can hardly use her real one... Jan 02 23:38:54 C: *she thumps HH in the arm, laughing at what Morgan said* Jan 02 23:39:35 Dunno, man, fake dick seems a bit threatening Jan 02 23:39:58 Can't say I find it threatening... Jan 02 23:40:31 Y' might if y' had a lassie wanting to use it! Jan 02 23:41:22 * Morgan shrugs Jan 02 23:41:52 I suppose if she was coming at me with it in hand, that might be a bit different... might be the only time I've found anyone threatening... Jan 02 23:42:24 Yeah, the ass is definitely an exit not an entrance! Jan 02 23:43:57 I hear there are people in Castille who disagree Jan 02 23:44:41 C: there's people who flatten the other side of the sheets everywhere Jan 02 23:45:05 Tha' means men doing men an' women doin' women Jan 02 23:45:54 My uncles never had a... lady friend... to the best of my knowledge... he's a bit... eccentric... Jan 02 23:46:27 * HH nods Jan 02 23:46:45 Maybe he likes men Jan 02 23:46:53 maybe Jan 02 23:47:48 We need t' check -your- lady friend before sleep? Jan 02 23:49:34 Why? Jan 02 23:49:39 C: I don't think he wants you anything like in arms reach of her, Heinzharold Jan 02 23:50:01 * HH shrugs "wondered how worried y'are" Jan 02 23:50:29 Given what you were saying and her reaction earlier... not terribly... Jan 02 23:50:58 Bit o' an ego boost, ain't it? Jan 02 23:51:06 I suppose so Jan 02 23:52:03 *Claudia gets in under the covers* Jan 02 23:52:21 Y' want feet, or head? Jan 02 23:52:57 She can't have head, unless she's got her wooden dick Jan 02 23:53:16 *they laugh* Jan 02 23:54:01 Figured y' call it head no matter who's getting it? Jan 02 23:54:29 * Morgan shrugs Jan 02 23:55:00 Been a while, can 'ardly remember! Jan 02 23:55:37 Can't really argue with that Jan 02 23:56:05 C: don't pity him, it was the day before yesterday in Carleon! Jan 02 23:56:39 You two've gotten a lot closer then... Jan 02 23:57:42 C: *she nods* we spent a lot of tough days together, and having Han in my life has opened me up Jan 02 23:57:55 * HH starts sniggering Jan 02 23:58:07 * Morgan smirks, opening one eye briefly Jan 02 23:58:41 * HH is getting in beside her Jan 02 23:58:59 Not quite what I meant... but I'm glad Jan 02 23:59:13 Prob'ly got room for ya Jan 02 23:59:25 C: what did you mean? Jan 02 23:59:56 Nothing I could say in polite company...
