**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jan 16 11:04:14 2023 Jan 16 11:04:14 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Jan 16 13:25:05 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jan 16 15:12:15 * Heinzharold has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Jan 16 22:45:43 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Jan 16 23:11:14 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Jan 16 23:13:09 * MollyK is brushing her hair by the bedroom window, just in her shortest shift when he gets there. There's the dawn light silhouetting her, much as the light did to Dietlinde the morning of Jana's birth, memorialised in charcoal in his old sketchbook Jan 16 23:13:43 * Morgan watches her for a moment before going to her, turning her and kissing her soundly Jan 16 23:14:31 * MollyK drops the brush in her surprise, returning the kiss with equal enthusiasm after a moment's shock Jan 16 23:15:59 * Morgan pulls away, looking at her Jan 16 23:17:45 * MollyK looks both delighted and puzzled Jan 16 23:17:52 Is everything alright? Jan 16 23:18:31 Uh huh... just wanted to see you Jan 16 23:19:52 * MollyK nods, smiling warmly Jan 16 23:20:11 That's touching, my love Jan 16 23:20:42 That might be later... gotta go, don't wanna miss Claudia Jan 16 23:20:52 * MollyK nods Jan 16 23:21:06 Yes, my love, have a pleasant morning Jan 16 23:21:49 * Morgan nods, smiling before disappearing off back up on deck Jan 16 23:22:23 * MollyK is now known as Claudia Jan 16 23:22:59 * Claudia is stood beside Sorgi. The ship is being prepared for sailing out. HH seems to have gone somewhere Jan 16 23:23:33 * Morgan waits discretely out of sight Jan 16 23:25:29 * Claudia looks completely self-assured, giving commands, departure imminent Jan 16 23:28:23 * Morgan wanders towards them, stopping just out of arms reach Jan 16 23:28:30 Orders? Jan 16 23:29:18 You're not due on deck, but you can be an extra lookout at the prow Jan 16 23:30:26 Lookout, aye *he nods, immediately going to the prow* Jan 16 23:32:28 *Sorgi joins him just after Claudia has engaged in one of her favourite pastimes: shouting at men* Jan 16 23:32:34 * Claudia is now known as Sorgi Jan 16 23:32:58 She's got more confidence than men who've been Captains for years Jan 16 23:33:28 * Morgan nods Jan 16 23:33:33 Is it real, though? Jan 16 23:35:56 * Sorgi looks over his shoulder, abandoning the sight of the moving water for her Jan 16 23:36:14 I'd wager it's real, m'lord Jan 16 23:37:03 * Morgan nods Jan 16 23:37:12 Then its just the experience she needs... Jan 16 23:38:10 * Sorgi nods, smiling Jan 16 23:38:27 She'll make a fine captain of her own ship one day Jan 16 23:39:44 * Morgan nods Jan 16 23:39:52 She know how you really feel about her? Jan 16 23:40:42 In what way, m'lord? Jan 16 23:42:07 Despite appearances, I'm an observant sort... Jan 16 23:43:16 I care about her greatly Jan 16 23:43:24 * Morgan nods Jan 16 23:43:30 But she doesn't realise how much... Jan 16 23:45:59 She doesn't need to. She's free to live her life Jan 16 23:47:56 Can't be easy for you Jan 16 23:48:35 You're wrong, m'lord Jan 16 23:48:58 Really? Jan 16 23:49:41 * Sorgi nods Jan 16 23:50:05 I have all I need. I'm a simple man Jan 16 23:50:39 * Morgan snorts Jan 16 23:50:42 You're far from that Jan 16 23:51:52 * Sorgi smiles Jan 16 23:52:13 When you get older, m'lord, priorities change Jan 16 23:52:47 * Morgan nods Jan 16 23:52:55 I'm finding that Jan 16 23:53:45 I'm happy to have her company and my work Jan 16 23:54:33 * Morgan nods Jan 16 23:54:45 There's Jan 16 23:54:55 There's something about the sea... I'm going to miss it Jan 16 23:55:31 * Sorgi nods Jan 16 23:55:50 You'll sail again though? Jan 16 23:56:24 * Morgan shrugs Jan 16 23:56:47 I don't see there'll be much opportunity or call for me to Jan 16 23:58:27 With a fleet, there should be some of both Jan 16 23:59:05 * Morgan shrugs Jan 16 23:59:15 Maybe... but there's also a Grafdom, and a family to raise...
