**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jan 29 00:00:51 2023 Jan 29 00:00:51 I think -thats- going to be the biggest thing I'll have trouble dealing with... the matriarchy, well, its just a furtherance of the areas we have where women rule, but the domestic side of it is a bit more difficult to accept... but -that- is a bit of a stretch for me yet Jan 29 00:01:31 HH: the -men- breastfeed? Jan 29 00:02:05 X: It's considered an honour and a fair sharing of parental duties Jan 29 00:03:10 * Morgan watches HeinzHarold sidelong Jan 29 00:03:53 *HH is staring open mouthed* How do you breastfeed with no breasts? Jan 29 00:04:23 M: Actually, men do have breast tissue as well. Jan 29 00:05:16 *HH looks at Molly, then Morgan* She shittin' me? *he glances at Varick* Sorry... she dungin' me, man? Jan 29 00:05:33 Like I would know? Jan 29 00:06:28 *HH looks shocked still* Jan 29 00:07:13 X: We give herbs to men through the pregnancy ready for the time of the birth Jan 29 00:07:46 * Varick looks at Morgan "do the babies eat the hairs and drink the milk?" Jan 29 00:08:01 Probably spit the hairs out Jan 29 00:08:05 *On the floor, Molly starts giggling* Jan 29 00:08:38 X: shaving the chest happens during the birth *he doesn't see to find this weird* Jan 29 00:08:51 HH: Nah, yer all messin' with me! Jan 29 00:09:38 [messing with him would be telling him he could get bubbies as big as Inga's...] Jan 29 00:10:05 $You could get some as big is Inga's man$ Jan 29 00:11:37 $whoa! Seriously?!$ Jan 29 00:11:46 Really would be your apples... Jan 29 00:12:01 HH: huh... Jan 29 00:14:40 * Morgan smiles slightly, sipping his coffee Jan 29 00:14:53 X: Being a father in Capperlucia isn't taken lightly, it's a big commitment. Nursing by a parent is done until the child is two or refuses to nurse *This makes him think of his dream of Jaeger's widow, little Connie refusing to nurse, and the mouthfuls of milk he had pleasuring her breasts on the floor by the fire* Jan 29 00:15:20 * Morgan concentrates on his cup Jan 29 00:16:16 I: Are the fathers really close to the children? Jan 29 00:16:26 $someones getting ideas...$ Jan 29 00:17:11 X: *he nods* We are. From what I've seen, both parents have a bond in Capperlucia as close as only mothers tend to here Jan 29 00:17:26 $yeah...$ Jan 29 00:18:05 * Morgan frowns briefly Jan 29 00:20:39 I: That's nice. I was orphaned before I was three, I didn't have any bond like that Jan 29 00:21:06 * Varick gets up and sits in Inga's lap, hugging her Jan 29 00:21:29 *HH's micro expression is fiercely protective* Jan 29 00:21:53 It's okay, I'm an orphan too, but sometimes you get new parents if you're lucky Jan 29 00:22:10 *Molly glances at Morgan* Jan 29 00:22:31 * Morgan is looking at his cup, looking solemn Jan 29 00:23:52 [do you need me closer?] Jan 29 00:25:08 [yes please] Jan 29 00:25:19 I: I have Heinzharold's Ma now, and his four sisters. I have my family here too. I'm lucky already. Jan 29 00:26:50 *Molly shifts, coming to sit at Morgan's feet, soothing pressure of her back all down his shin. She rests her head back against his knee [better?] Jan 29 00:27:03 [yes, thank you] Jan 29 00:27:22 [always, my love] Jan 29 00:28:15 * Morgan sips his coffee, watching the others Jan 29 00:28:25 Auntie Mina and Alice and Auntie Jarvie and my grandpas and grandma Verity are all orphans Jan 29 00:29:33 M: to the best of my knowledge, so is Grandma Ro-... Forrester too. Jan 29 00:29:53 * Morgan tilts his head Jan 29 00:30:10 [An interesting slip there blossom] Jan 29 00:30:38 [I am so used to thinking of the Rosenkrantzs as family now] Jan 29 00:31:31 Papa, will my grandpa and grandma live with us at Hafenlohr? Jan 29 00:32:36 [god, I hope not!] Jan 29 00:32:56 No, my parents have their Grafdom to run, and your mama's parents are helping them... it'll just be us and HeinzHarold and Inga, and our staff Jan 29 00:33:26 What about Walder and Jacques? Jan 29 00:34:09 I don't know... I've asked Walder to consider it, but there are... other things he has to think about Jan 29 00:34:20 What things? Jan 29 00:34:32 Private but important things for him Jan 29 00:35:30 About how he fancies Theresa? Jan 29 00:35:42 Jacques told you that did he? Jan 29 00:36:09 Him and Rickon we talking about it Jan 29 00:36:45 * Morgan nods Jan 29 00:36:53 That makes sense Jan 29 00:37:06 Does he fancy her? Jan 29 00:37:17 * Morgan shrugs Jan 29 00:37:23 Thats not really our business is it Jan 29 00:37:45 *he shrugs* Does fancy mean courting? Jan 29 00:38:10 Ummm, it means he'd like to be courting I suppose Jan 29 00:39:38 Ok Papa Jan 29 00:40:27 * Varick writes a bit longer, and it's quiet, Amir playing with some wooden cotton reels Jan 29 00:40:51 [do you need time alone, liebling?] Jan 29 00:41:27 [Ummm, I might go and get some air] Jan 29 00:42:21 [of course, do you wish me to join you or stay here?] Jan 29 00:42:53 [which would you prefer?] Jan 29 00:43:35 [I want to be at your side] Jan 29 00:44:21 [Then do so] Jan 29 00:45:28 *Molly stands* I'm going to see if I can see any little Castillean villages on the coast with the spyglass. Do you wish to come too, my love? Jan 29 00:45:52 * Morgan nods, standing up Jan 29 00:45:55 Aye, I think so Jan 29 00:46:35 *Molly tells them she'll be back for lunch before heading into the hall to wait for him* Jan 29 00:46:47 * Morgan follows her out Jan 29 00:47:12 *Molly embraces him as soon as they're alone* Jan 29 00:48:56 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jan 29 00:52:35 * Varick has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jan 29 13:10:32 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Jan 29 13:16:26 * MollyK has quit (Ping Timeout) Jan 29 15:56:40 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Jan 29 16:03:25 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Jan 29 16:03:32 [00:32:11] Varick: *Molly embraces him as soon as they're alone* Jan 29 16:05:23 * Morgan leans his head on hers Jan 29 16:05:44 You alright? Jan 29 16:06:19 I am, are you? Jan 29 16:06:37 * Morgan nods Jan 29 16:06:54 They were upsetting you... Jan 29 16:07:51 Who? Jan 29 16:08:31 In there, talking about being orphaned Jan 29 16:08:42 Not... exactly... Jan 29 16:08:54 No? Jan 29 16:09:45 Its like I find I painful on their behalf... and Varicks faith in us after all he's been through is staggering Jan 29 16:10:24 * MollyK nods Jan 29 16:10:36 We've done well with him, I think? Jan 29 16:12:01 * Morgan nods Jan 29 16:12:06 I think so Jan 29 16:12:34 * MollyK nods Jan 29 16:12:57 Everything is raw today, it's understandable that you would be more empathetic than usual Jan 29 16:13:27 * Morgan nods Jan 29 16:13:37 I suppose so... this must be difficult for you to bear as well... Jan 29 16:13:58 Must it? Shall we up? Jan 29 16:14:32 * Morgan nods, heading for the decl Jan 29 16:14:48 Given what I had asked of you... Jan 29 16:16:46 But you haven't asked it. It's a dream Jan 29 16:17:32 Yes but... it still would normally bother you... you are so secure in my love for you now? Jan 29 16:18:49 I... yes, I think I am, but also... what good does it do for me to dwell on how painful that would be, and how much I would suffer, you know? I cannot support you as well if I am distracted that way Jan 29 16:19:39 * Morgan nods slowly Jan 29 16:20:32 * MollyK finds a quiet spot portside, nearish the prow and leans against the rail Jan 29 16:20:48 That concerns you? Or dissatisfies you? Jan 29 16:21:48 No... I just... I'm concerned you are hurting too Jan 29 16:22:30 I hurt -for you-. But for myself? No, I won't be doing that. Jan 29 16:23:02 * Morgan nods, looking out over the water Jan 29 16:23:04 Alright Jan 29 16:23:18 * MollyK takes his hand Jan 29 16:24:11 Do not mistake it for me not caring, my love. Don't think that I love you far less than I ought, and I would be more distressed if I loved you more Jan 29 16:24:31 * Morgan shakes his head Jan 29 16:24:35 I was just concerned for you Jan 29 16:24:51 * MollyK nods, leaning against his arm Jan 29 16:25:45 I suppose there's not so much shock in it for me. Or, the shock is not the shock that you would wish to have been married to her in every sense of the term... Jan 29 16:26:00 No? Jan 29 16:26:48 No. I'd long felt that she was the woman you should be with. That was just how I felt it was Jan 29 16:27:44 * Morgan frowns Jan 29 16:29:30 So for me, the surprise at this was that back in August you would still have needed and wanted me also, not just to be the Veisgrafin and give Sudlachenburg heirs to fit Edward's plan to keep them safe, but for myself. For us. Jan 29 16:30:41 Then you did not understand the strength of my love for you... but we know that Jan 29 16:30:47 * MollyK nods Jan 29 16:30:54 Yes, we do Jan 29 16:31:34 * Morgan nods Jan 29 16:33:09 I know that you are supposed to be with me now Jan 29 16:33:29 Thats an... odd way to put it Jan 29 16:33:35 Is it? Jan 29 16:34:11 Makes it sound like you don't believe it a choice on my part... that I'm with you because some short arse pulled on the strings of fate Jan 29 16:35:15 No... because when you had the chance with the Jogmandur, you came back... Jan 29 16:35:43 * Morgan nods Jan 29 16:35:59 I wanted so much to spend time with Jana... Jan 29 16:36:09 * MollyK nods sadly Jan 29 16:36:18 That is understandable, my love Jan 29 16:36:37 * Morgan nods, sighing Jan 29 16:36:40 Aye Jan 29 16:37:14 I do believe you will. When your life has come to an end, I truly believe you will be with her again Jan 29 16:37:40 * Morgan shrugs slightly, looking away Jan 29 16:38:56 * MollyK squeezes his hand Jan 29 16:39:53 Maybe you'll dream of her one day and know it is a dream, so you can spend time there? Jan 29 16:40:45 Maybe. *he sniffs* did Inga tell you what she did? Jan 29 16:41:35 * MollyK hands him her hanky again. It's warm and smells of her Jan 29 16:41:39 No, she didn't Jan 29 16:43:13 * Morgan nods, running his thumb over the embroidery Jan 29 16:43:57 She came out, wrapped her arms around me and told me she loves me... thats all. Jan 29 16:44:05 * MollyK smiles Jan 29 16:44:21 Sometimes that is all that's needed, I find Jan 29 16:44:45 It was... honest. HeinzHarold said he really loves that weird little lassie... Jan 29 16:44:55 * MollyK smiles Jan 29 16:45:08 They have a lovely sort of marriage, don't they? Jan 29 16:45:18 * Morgan nods Jan 29 16:45:22 They do, yes Jan 29 16:45:55 Is she the sort of woman you imagined he'd marry one day? Jan 29 16:46:10 * Morgan shrugs Jan 29 16:46:14 Didn't think he ever would really Jan 29 16:46:43 He was wasted as a bachelor Jan 29 16:46:53 * Morgan nods Jan 29 16:46:57 aye Jan 29 16:47:20 He's too loving for it Jan 29 16:47:35 Every now and then he says something and reminds me of his Da Jan 29 16:47:41 * MollyK smiles Jan 29 16:48:00 It's nice that his father lives on through him Jan 29 16:48:17 * Morgan nods Jan 29 16:48:29 I miss him... Jan 29 16:48:46 * MollyK nods Jan 29 16:49:11 I'm told he loved you like another son Jan 29 16:49:31 * Morgan nods Jan 29 16:49:35 Made sure I knew it too Jan 29 16:50:27 That must have been odd for you. I love your Father greatly, but he does not love very demonstratively Jan 29 16:50:40 * Morgan nods Jan 29 16:51:14 Aye... he is a product of his upbringing in that regard Jan 29 16:52:51 Heinzharold? Jan 29 16:53:20 My father Jan 29 16:54:53 Mmhmm... but aren't we all, really? Jan 29 16:55:01 * Morgan nods Jan 29 16:55:08 Mine just happens to have had two father figures Jan 29 16:55:22 How lucky you were, my love Jan 29 16:55:49 * Morgan nods Jan 29 16:55:52 Aye, I was Jan 29 16:56:43 And in turn how lucky I am. You are more like Heinzharold, eleventh of his name, in how you love romantically? Jan 29 16:56:59 * Morgan shrugs Jan 29 16:57:21 I suppose I am... I place less importance on the status of a person and more on their character Jan 29 16:57:30 * MollyK nods Jan 29 16:59:04 I think that's more important too. I'd rather sit at a table with honourable peasants than noble thieves. *This was a piece of wisdom Dietlinde had imparted to him one day quite early in their courtship, almost to the word* Jan 29 16:59:23 where... where did you hear that? Jan 29 17:00:03 You said it to me... I think it was just before we went to Carlson for my verification Jan 29 17:00:10 Carleon * Jan 29 17:00:15 Oh... yes of course Jan 29 17:00:34 You'd forgotten? Jan 29 17:00:40 * Morgan nods Jan 29 17:01:07 Its something Dietlinde told me... just with the dream, it sticks out more... Jan 29 17:01:14 * MollyK nods Jan 29 17:01:29 She was clearly a very wise woman, my love Jan 29 17:01:40 * Morgan nods Jan 29 17:01:51 She was Jan 29 17:02:10 * MollyK nods Jan 29 17:02:31 Everyone says she was very... calm... stabilising Jan 29 17:02:36 * Morgan nods Jan 29 17:02:39 She was Jan 29 17:03:41 * MollyK nods, smiling gently "I'm glad you had that after the War to help you let go of what you'd been through" Jan 29 17:04:13 * Morgan nods Jan 29 17:06:27 * MollyK stands beside him, watching the coastline. The weather is cool, but not sharply cold like Graben or even Ussura was, but still cooler than the Empire. She seems contented just holding his hand and enjoying the movement of his ship Jan 29 17:10:53 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jan 29 17:34:16 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Jan 29 17:34:24 [16:51:26] • ​MollyK​ stands beside him, watching the coastline. The weather is cool, but not sharply cold like Graben or even Ussura was, but still cooler than the Empire. She seems contented just holding his hand and enjoying the movement of his ship Jan 29 17:38:52 * Morgan looks round at the crew Jan 29 17:39:07 *everyone is working well* Jan 29 17:40:16 They have walls... for climbing... Jan 29 17:42:52 * MollyK sounds distracted "hmm?" Jan 29 17:43:09 Guilder for them... Jan 29 17:43:17 * MollyK smiles Jan 29 17:43:39 How do you know it isn't something salacious worth at least five times that, mon petit chou? Jan 29 17:44:07 You're not pinching your lip Jan 29 17:44:13 * MollyK laughs Jan 29 17:44:22 Damn. I am that predictable? Jan 29 17:44:29 I pay attention Jan 29 17:44:38 Mmm, yes you do.. Jan 29 17:45:47 I was actually thinking about the repeatedness of absences and reuniting, and of people caring for children that are not theirs Jan 29 17:46:18 Oh? Jan 29 17:48:11 Mina, Edward, Alice, Florrie... Xsarlac, Zareen and Amir... James, Elsie, and Thomas Jan 29 17:49:02 Us... Jan 29 17:49:22 In adopting Varick...? Jan 29 17:49:30 * Morgan nods Jan 29 17:49:35 And fostering another... Jan 29 17:49:57 And perhaps adopting again, sometime in the future? Jan 29 17:51:09 * Morgan nods Jan 29 17:51:10 Maybe Jan 29 17:51:49 * MollyK nods Jan 29 17:51:56 It is not the time now Jan 29 17:52:09 No, it isn't Jan 29 17:52:25 * MollyK kisses his knuckles Jan 29 17:52:55 What about Hannalore and Federest? Jan 29 17:53:09 What about them? Jan 29 17:53:48 A reconciliation about a time thinking he was dead... they had both changed too much Jan 29 17:54:26 * Morgan nods Jan 29 17:54:28 Yes, they had Jan 29 17:54:39 * MollyK shrugs Jan 29 17:55:22 It's just... it's what my Grandfather warned in his letter. Repeats of things, that's what can happen when they meddle Jan 29 17:55:38 * Morgan nods Jan 29 17:55:53 So we need to be on the lookout for murderous cousins.... Jan 29 18:06:56 * MollyK smiles Jan 29 18:07:17 I have no idea how many I might have on my Mother's side. You know how she is Jan 29 18:11:14 * Morgan nods Jan 29 18:11:27 Be a shame to have to harm your family... David will not react well to it Jan 29 18:11:40 * MollyK nods Jan 29 18:12:28 Indeed. I do not think Ilena and Seb will be an issue unless the attraction from the dreams happens Jan 29 18:12:53 * Morgan nods Jan 29 18:13:59 That would be a rather sizeable problem! Jealous is already an issue Jan 29 18:14:23 Oh? Jan 29 18:14:40 Don't you think? Jan 29 18:15:42 * Morgan shrugs Jan 29 18:15:43 I suppose so Jan 29 18:16:22 I wouldn't want my cousin caught up in what is an already fraught relationship Jan 29 18:17:18 Hang on... who exactly are you talking about? Jan 29 18:17:58 Ilena and Edward, from the dream where I am Jaeger's widow Jan 29 18:18:32 Oh... right, yes... Jan 29 18:18:47 What di-... oh... Jan 29 18:19:26 I have had dreams where that attraction was yours... Jan 29 18:19:37 To Edward?! Jan 29 18:19:50 Sebastien, obviously Jan 29 18:20:00 * MollyK nods Jan 29 18:20:28 There's been many where he and I are married *she sighs* Jan 29 18:21:19 They don't bother me the same as some of the others... Jan 29 18:21:30 Such as? Jan 29 18:22:51 * Morgan sighs Jan 29 18:23:49 The one where you and he sneaked off to kiss, then when I caught you you told me you deserved the same sort of love at first sight as... others... told you you could stay there, we were done but apparently that wasn't acceptable either Jan 29 18:24:22 * MollyK nods, watching the waves Jan 29 18:24:31 That's unpleasant, definitely Jan 29 18:24:43 * Morgan nods Jan 29 18:25:06 Being told that 'its not about you, Morgan'... *he's clearly becoming distressed* Jan 29 18:25:47 Hey... *she squeezes his hand* I wasn't attracted to him, you do not need to worry Jan 29 18:26:03 * Morgan nods, frowning at the rail Jan 29 18:26:45 I understand that he is technically attractive, like Potts, and Heinzharold, but I am not -attracted- to him Jan 29 18:26:58 * Morgan nods Jan 29 18:27:45 I do not know how we would have handled that, but it would not have been by me kissing him! Jan 29 18:28:40 * Morgan nods slightly Jan 29 18:29:35 I think that was a nightmare, not a path. There is no logically way in which you and I would have had the convergence, it would have been over for you Jan 29 18:30:11 We've already established that that doesn't necessarily matter Jan 29 18:31:00 Has this been bothering you all this time, or has dreaming of being in the position of wanting two different women brought it to the fore again? Jan 29 18:31:36 * Morgan shrugs, looking away Jan 29 18:31:50 * MollyK squeezes his hand Jan 29 18:32:04 Nothing has changed between you and I, liebling Jan 29 18:34:34 * Morgan nods, sighing Jan 29 18:35:08 You are feeling guilty for what August you would have argued for? Jan 29 18:35:47 I don't know... maybe Jan 29 18:36:26 More afraid that Seb and I are going to develop feelings in reality? Jan 29 18:36:48 I suppose Jan 29 18:37:56 * MollyK kisses his knuckles "there's no need. Even in the impossibility of that, if it happened I would be with you. I would want to be with you. You are my home." Jan 29 18:38:35 * Morgan nods slowly Jan 29 18:38:38 Okay Jan 29 18:39:07 You know this already... Jan 29 18:39:47 * Morgan nods Jan 29 18:40:44 * MollyK frowns a little "something is bothering you but I cannot quite work out what it is" Jan 29 18:41:23 Oh I don't know... just -thinking- about that dream of you and Sebastien is hurting Jan 29 18:41:44 How can I help that, my love? Jan 29 18:42:34 * Morgan shrugs Jan 29 18:42:39 Lets talk about something else Jan 29 18:42:49 * MollyK nods Jan 29 18:44:04 I was considering which room at Hafenlohr I'll want as my morning room, and which for the nursery Jan 29 18:44:10 Oh? Jan 29 18:46:09 Something east facing. I think I'll want the early light for the nursery, and the pretty sunsets for the babies' bed times Jan 29 18:46:24 * Morgan nods Jan 29 18:46:26 That makes sense Jan 29 18:46:46 * MollyK nods Jan 29 18:47:11 Maybe you'd like a study, with your desk from the Veisgraf Wing? Jan 29 18:47:42 * Morgan nods Jan 29 18:47:46 Yes, I think I'd like that Jan 29 18:49:23 * MollyK nods Jan 29 18:49:50 Maybe you could build a little play pen in there so the children can be with you when you work? Jan 29 18:50:21 * Morgan nods Jan 29 18:50:48 That'd be nice... not sure I'd want tenants in there though... Jan 29 18:51:19 No. We need a receiving room Jan 29 18:51:49 * MollyK glances at him, a hint of amusement around the corner of her eyes and lips Jan 29 18:52:15 What? Jan 29 18:52:41 A -receiving- room sounds significantly more exciting than it actually is Jan 29 18:53:09 * Morgan nods Jan 29 18:53:13 It does a bit Jan 29 18:53:33 Big stables will be needed too Jan 29 18:53:46 * Morgan nods Jan 29 18:53:54 I suppose they will Jan 29 18:55:20 * MollyK nods. She continues on a while talking about the logistics of running a Grafdom from a more modest house, whether they might add another wing and so on. It's clear that she considers Hafenlohr and their future as Graf and Grafin frequently Jan 29 18:55:51 Think about it a lot... don't you? Jan 29 18:56:02 * MollyK nods, smiling Jan 29 18:56:30 I do. Though we've lived in several places, that will be our family home Jan 29 18:56:52 What about... when I take over in Sudlachenburg? Jan 29 18:57:32 That will be a decision for you as the head of our family, my love. There are merits to both place Jan 29 18:57:35 Places* Jan 29 18:57:48 * Morgan frowns Jan 29 18:57:56 And where our children are born? Jan 29 18:58:12 You wish them born in Sudlachenburg Jan 29 18:58:22 You will not consider it home... Jan 29 18:58:57 I'll be rather too distracted to be worrying about whether it is home or not! Jan 29 18:59:15 but... its -my- home... Jan 29 18:59:27 * MollyK nods Jan 29 18:59:36 Wherever you wish, my love Jan 29 19:00:43 * Morgan nods slowly Jan 29 19:02:08 Assuming that the children come according to when they are expected, of course. I'd rather not have them in a carriage at the roadside Jan 29 19:02:47 .me nods Jan 29 19:02:59 I can foresee them being awkward in that regard Jan 29 19:03:30 With such predictable, unrebellious parents?! Surely not... Jan 29 19:04:51 * Morgan sighs Jan 29 19:05:25 I would not be surprised to have one born at sea! Jan 29 19:05:55 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:06:00 It wouldn't surprise me Jan 29 19:06:23 * MollyK nods Jan 29 19:06:41 One in each Konigsreich... Jan 29 19:07:07 Definitely not Jan 29 19:07:35 Maybe we'll just make them there Jan 29 19:07:39 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:07:45 That I could concede to Jan 29 19:08:08 I could have conceded to the first being made in Capperlucia Jan 29 19:09:53 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:10:00 Rather wrong time wise for that Jan 29 19:10:19 Unless we make the second trip in the autumn too Jan 29 19:14:06 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:14:17 I suppose so... I sort of thought we wouldn't be going... Jan 29 19:14:51 I assumed so too really. I know those early days can be quite rough Jan 29 19:15:39 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:15:46 I suppose... we'll have to wait and see... Jan 29 19:15:52 * MollyK nods Jan 29 19:16:12 The crew wouldn't believe it was sea sickness, would they? *she smiles* Jan 29 19:16:24 Would it matter? Jan 29 19:17:05 People generally do not tell until the quickening (4-5 months) Jan 29 19:17:30 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:17:34 True Jan 29 19:18:20 It's a shame it happens in Autumn not Summer, Prophets Mass would be a nice time to announce it Jan 29 19:19:27 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:19:32 Seems so far away Jan 29 19:19:44 * MollyK nods Jan 29 19:20:06 But by the following Prophets Mass we will have a baby Jan 29 19:20:31 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:21:31 I suppose it'd be asking a bit much for Edward and Mina to travel so far with a child... Jan 29 19:21:48 To Hafenlohr? Jan 29 19:21:58 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:22:11 It would be nice to have the family together again Jan 29 19:22:19 * MollyK nods, smiling Jan 29 19:22:41 Absolutely. They might well have a child before Prophet's Mass Jan 29 19:22:56 I hope so Jan 29 19:23:03 * MollyK glances at him Jan 29 19:23:28 You won't be able to concentrate during all the church services if I am with child... Jan 29 19:24:13 * Morgan scowls briefly Jan 29 19:24:27 * MollyK looks troubled Jan 29 19:24:36 I'm sorry, I've upset you Jan 29 19:24:58 No, you haven't... not exactly... just that damn dream Jan 29 19:25:10 * MollyK nods Jan 29 19:25:29 Because of the loss of faith and her disappointment? Jan 29 19:25:53 No. She had said she missed my... attentiveness when she was carrying my son Jan 29 19:26:03 Ah, I see Jan 29 19:27:44 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:28:04 I'll not mention it again Jan 29 19:28:20 You will... just... give me a couple of days and I'll be fine Jan 29 19:28:29 * MollyK nods Jan 29 19:28:34 Of course Jan 29 19:30:02 HeinzHarold says I can borrow Inga to model for my sketches Jan 29 19:36:06 Does he? Jan 29 19:37:11 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:37:25 Long as she's got enough clothes on to stop me and him getting killed by you or her Jan 29 19:37:52 * MollyK nods slight Jan 29 19:38:22 Slightly, but says nothing* Jan 29 19:38:58 What's wrong? Jan 29 19:39:21 It made me feel jealous a moment, that's all Jan 29 19:39:35 Of Inga?! Jan 29 19:39:55 Silly, I know Jan 29 19:40:13 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:40:17 It is, I'm afraid Jan 29 19:40:31 * MollyK nods Jan 29 19:40:34 I know Jan 29 19:42:17 * Morgan frowns Jan 29 19:42:20 Scuppers that idea Jan 29 19:43:39 It's fine. Perhaps an east facing room for your sketching might be nice? Do you recall how beautiful the light was when you drew me almost naked on the chaise at Morgan's Rock? Jan 29 19:45:21 * Morgan frowns slightly Jan 29 19:46:08 I've never had a specific place for sketching... Jan 29 19:46:18 * MollyK nods Jan 29 19:46:38 You've never been settled to your own large house though Jan 29 19:47:56 No... no I haven't Jan 29 19:48:05 * MollyK nods Jan 29 19:48:25 I think it'd be nice to have things we enjoy there Jan 29 19:49:19 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:49:24 So we need a sex room Jan 29 19:50:11 * MollyK nods a little Jan 29 19:50:27 Or a barn far out of earshot Jan 29 19:51:08 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:51:36 * MollyK nods Jan 29 19:51:54 That would be practical Jan 29 19:52:13 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:52:42 Perhaps some trip wires that would ring bells if anyone was approaching Jan 29 19:54:00 I was thinking once they're old enough, the children could just wear cowbells Jan 29 19:54:42 * MollyK nods Jan 29 19:54:55 As soon as they can crawl, really Jan 29 19:55:41 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:55:49 I do not relish the eight weeks wait from birthing to churching though! Jan 29 19:57:05 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:57:22 I know... perhaps. We will be kept too busy to notice Jan 29 20:01:23 Mmm that'd be a blessing, but it's -us- Jan 29 20:02:17 We're always busy Jan 29 20:03:00 * MollyK nods Jan 29 20:03:13 True, but that hasn't always stopped us Jan 29 20:03:35 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:03:53 * MollyK giggles "oh my god..." Jan 29 20:04:02 What? Jan 29 20:04:10 How on Theah will Heinzharold handle that? Jan 29 20:06:52 You can heal blisters, right? Friction burns... Jan 29 20:07:35 * MollyK looks confused Jan 29 20:07:39 Friction from what? Jan 29 20:08:02 Across the palms of his hands... Jan 29 20:08:26 * MollyK looks like she'll ask again, then suddenly blushes hard Jan 29 20:08:31 Liebes herz! Jan 29 20:09:46 * Morgan manages to look innocent Jan 29 20:09:49 * MollyK smiles, slapping his arm gently Jan 29 20:10:29 * Morgan smirks slightly Jan 29 20:10:34 I do not want to think of Heinzharold doing that! Especially when it's something I'm so partial to! Jan 29 20:10:47 You're partial to HeinzHarold doing that?! Jan 29 20:10:54 No! Oh my god! Jan 29 20:11:07 * MollyK covers her face with her hand Jan 29 20:12:57 * Morgan takes out his flask, sipping it Jan 29 20:13:13 * MollyK glances at him Jan 29 20:13:21 You, you silly goose! Jan 29 20:14:39 Well, I'm not doing that to him Jan 29 20:15:07 Liebes herz!! *she looks both highly amused and highly embarrassed* Jan 29 20:17:49 I mean, I love him and all but, thats asking a bit much Jan 29 20:18:41 Stop it now, before I start thinking of your hand on that part of you too much and become a nuisance to you! Jan 29 20:22:10 * Morgan shrugs Jan 29 20:22:12 As you wish Jan 29 20:22:35 * MollyK looks at him gently Jan 29 20:22:50 Today is not a good day for having me that way, that is all, liebling Jan 29 20:24:04 * Morgan nods, sipping his flask again Jan 29 20:24:07 Yes, you're right Jan 29 20:24:24 * MollyK nods Jan 29 20:24:54 Some day, at some point when things could stop being so damnably difficult! Jan 29 20:26:37 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:26:38 aye Jan 29 20:26:57 * MollyK nods, watching the coast Jan 29 20:27:26 Just a few days, just to be properly at our ease... god that would be so nice! Jan 29 20:28:03 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:28:35 No, I don't get it... been trying to figure it out but... -why- were you jealous of Inga? Jan 29 20:28:45 * MollyK shrugs Jan 29 20:29:23 I don't know really. It needled at me, the thought of you sketching someone else naked, -wanting- to Jan 29 20:29:51 What? No, you great pillock... covered, artfully. Jan 29 20:30:39 That might be what you meant, but the thought I had was of naked women. Jan 29 20:31:31 Think Claudia's the same in that regard Jan 29 20:31:42 * MollyK gently shoves him Jan 29 20:31:53 I am being serious, liebes herz! Jan 29 20:32:00 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:32:25 I know... you needn't worry, it is not something I have any interest in. Jan 29 20:32:47 * MollyK nods Jan 29 20:33:12 I am happy to remove my clothes for it whenever you wish to sketch me Jan 29 20:33:18 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:33:27 Good... I plan to do a great deal of that Jan 29 20:33:48 * MollyK smiles a little Jan 29 20:34:09 Well, everyone has plans for today already, so I can start whenever you wish Jan 29 20:35:02 * Morgan nods slightly Jan 29 20:35:22 I, uhhh... I'm going to ask Alice to send for my guitar from Maelwys Jan 29 20:35:43 You prefer that to the one Edward bought you? Jan 29 20:36:12 Uhhh, its tough to say... they... play differently... Jan 29 20:36:18 * Morgan tilts his head back, closing his eyes Jan 29 20:36:35 I played songs to my little girl with that guitar... its time to bring the old girl home Jan 29 20:36:52 * MollyK squeezes his hand gently Jan 29 20:37:34 There's going to be more little girls that need their Papa to play them to sleep, and to keep that connection to their sister alive... Jan 29 20:37:46 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:38:45 Don't get me wrong, I love the one Edward got me... and what it signifies is so very important to me Jan 29 20:39:04 You can love both for different reasons, my love Jan 29 20:43:39 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:43:39 Aye Jan 29 20:43:43 And they sound different Jan 29 20:44:14 * MollyK nods "I remember" Jan 29 20:44:32 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:45:44 I could leave a note if you like. But I'd imagine Florrie will want to speak to you again soon Jan 29 20:47:27 * Morgan noticeably tenses Jan 29 20:47:31 Aye, I imagine so Jan 29 20:48:52 Perhaps the next time it'll be just Varick and I. I'm sure that'll be fine Jan 29 20:49:55 I'll not make her feel like she is not wanted Jan 29 20:51:11 She won't, my love. She's used to people being busy on ships Jan 29 20:52:12 I've -never- not made time for her Jan 29 20:52:54 No. Maybe I'll speak to Alice in a note? Jan 29 20:54:23 I'll be alright by then Jan 29 20:54:39 I hope so, my love Jan 29 20:56:17 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:56:20 Need to be really Jan 29 20:57:04 Then we will pray that tonight is better, and you missed the blue because of Ulysses Jan 29 20:59:56 * Morgan sighs, nodding Jan 29 21:00:20 It's possible, my love Jan 29 21:00:59 But unlikely Jan 29 21:02:24 * MollyK nods Jan 29 21:02:49 Sadly I think we must prepare for this to run its course Jan 29 21:03:22 * Morgan nods Jan 29 21:03:27 I am -dreading- that Jan 29 21:04:16 * MollyK nods Jan 29 21:04:51 We'll have the tobacco and the balm ready, I'll keep my own coat by the door so I'm not naked in Claudias Jan 29 21:06:05 * Morgan nods slowly, looking decidedly unhappy about it Jan 29 21:07:48 Maybe you'll come with me instead, hmm? Maybe you can take a look at our sex barn and the metal rings? Jan 29 21:08:31 That'd be nice Jan 29 21:08:38 * MollyK nods Jan 29 21:08:55 Something nice and simple, no pain, no warning Jan 29 21:09:36 * Morgan nods, sighing Jan 29 21:10:02 Alright, lets go get some coffee Jan 29 21:11:54 * MollyK nods. The galley is busy, someone has mildly cut themselves so they're a man down. Cook asks Morgan if he wants to chop some vegetables Jan 29 21:12:26 * Morgan nods Jan 29 21:12:29 Aye, I can do that Jan 29 21:14:56 *he ends up doing much more than the vegetables, just good honest hard kitchen work. At some point Molly has wandered off because by the time the washing up is done she's gone and quiet hour has already begun* Jan 29 21:15:37 * Morgan makes himself some coffee and goes in search of her Jan 29 21:17:25 * MollyK is asleep fully dressed on the bed Jan 29 21:19:18 * Morgan sighs, putting his coffee down and curling up behind her Jan 29 21:21:37 * MollyK murmurs happily, fidgeting her body back closer to him Jan 29 21:22:38 * Morgan closes his eyes, slowing his breathing Jan 29 21:23:35 *he does manage to relax, feeling sleep start to pull at him* Jan 29 21:24:28 * Morgan finally lets it claim him Jan 29 21:26:43 *He finds himself in the yellow tones of her dream. It's Hafenlohr, the west-facing drawing room with the big windows. He's got a sharp pain on his belly, and is carrying warm water and a towel. The sunset light floods in. He can only see the back of the couch, and one bare foot off the end of it. The room is very warm but quiet* Jan 29 21:27:48 * Morgan heads for the couch Jan 29 21:27:59 ACTION is laid on the couch with a pillow under her head. She has a book on one hand, a fan in the other. Her white blouse is rolled up at the sleeves to the elbow, and the waistband is pushed up right beneath her breasts. Her nipples are very prominent against it. Lower than that is a very sizable bump, belly button shallow, and a light brown Jan 29 21:27:59 line that runs right up the middle. The trousers she has on look almost like they have a high wide placket to cover her bump, but they are also undone, rolled down below the bump. She looks relaxed, comfortable with her changing body. Jan 29 21:29:47 Liebling! I wasn't expecting you back home until tomorrow! Jan 29 21:30:08 * Morgan shrugs Jan 29 21:30:15 I've never stuck much to plans Jan 29 21:30:37 * MollyK looks him over "you're hurt…" Jan 29 21:31:08 Uhhh... my belly.... Jan 29 21:31:54 * MollyK nods, trying to get up, but it looks very difficult, and she laughs Jan 29 21:32:12 -your- belly is a problem?! Look at this! Jan 29 21:32:26 * Morgan puts the water and towel down, helping her up Jan 29 21:32:29 It is quite the obstacle Jan 29 21:33:01 * MollyK nods. She is absolutely massive, easily full term. Jan 29 21:33:17 You want me to clean it and heal it, my love? Jan 29 21:33:26 I don't even know what it is Jan 29 21:33:43 * MollyK frowns Jan 29 21:33:50 Sit down, liebling Jan 29 21:34:16 * Morgan nods, doing as he's told Jan 29 21:35:24 * MollyK kneels between his legs, pushing his shirt up. The cut is only three inches and shallow Jan 29 21:35:54 Did you get this arresting Schafer and his gang, or did you have to put some to death? Jan 29 21:36:27 * Morgan shrugs Jan 29 21:36:41 You know how it is Jan 29 21:40:10 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jan 29 21:42:27 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Jan 29 21:42:48 * MollyK undoes his placket and waistband, taking his trousers down just to the top of his hips. She sighs sadly Jan 29 21:43:10 I know how much you hate having to dispense such justice, but this has to stop Jan 29 21:43:22 This? Jan 29 21:45:00 Schafer and his gang, and their attacks on the Vaticines. Ansbach was a much nicer town before they started. Jan 29 21:45:32 * MollyK gently starts to clean the wound Jan 29 21:45:39 Its not acceptable Jan 29 21:46:15 No. *she sighs* I wish we'd been here right at the start, and gotten a handle on it before they started being so awful Jan 29 21:47:39 I don't really get why... what's the point of it Jan 29 21:49:12 This is an Objectionist Grafdom now, for Objectionist folks only, apparently. I honestly think they are trying to either force the Vaticines to move away, or push them until they retaliate and then have a legitimate excuse to exile them Jan 29 21:49:49 * Morgan sighs Jan 29 21:51:11 * MollyK dries his skin before concentrating. His neck prickles and his skin tingles as it becomes all healed and smooth again. Jan 29 21:53:34 Well... I suppose he and his ilk have had their last chance... I won't have my Grafdom pulled apart by their intolerance Jan 29 21:54:15 Yes, something needs to change before it spreads. I think now with hindsight we should have seen it coming, and set someone to go around the more rural places to check the feelings that were brewing once they found out what was going to happen with you taking over Jan 29 21:54:44 Who, though? Jan 29 21:55:02 * MollyK thinks, gently drying him Jan 29 21:55:31 Karlsruhe maybe. It'd ideally have been done whilst we were in Capperlucia Jan 29 21:55:48 The second time? Jan 29 21:56:01 * MollyK shrugs slightly Jan 29 21:57:12 That might have helped, but really nipping it in the bud would have needed to have been February or March, Seventy-One, wouldn't it? Before they got their hooks into the sheriff, and before Ansbach himself started tolerating their meetings Jan 29 21:58:45 Before we even arrived? That would've taken some foresight... Jan 29 22:00:11 * MollyK sighs "too true, my love, or a warning dream? Though I think the dreams had stopped by then, hadn't they?" Jan 29 22:02:44 Had they? Someone finally decided I'd suffered enough? Jan 29 22:03:04 * MollyK sets the towel down and gently kisses where the cut had been "Must have done, my love. Now, how does that feel?" Jan 29 22:04:08 Better, thank you Jan 29 22:04:36 * MollyK smiles, kissing an inch lower "I've missed you" Jan 29 22:06:35 Are you talking to me, or... Jan 29 22:07:07 * MollyK raises an eyebrow, smirking "or who else, my love?" Jan 29 22:08:11 Not who... -what-... Jan 29 22:08:50 * MollyK kisses an inch lower again "I've missed your... company" Jan 29 22:09:32 Uh huh Jan 29 22:12:06 * MollyK nuzzles where the fabric meets his skin "I always miss your company when you're away. That's why I am usually with child within half an hour of your return!" Jan 29 22:13:58 * Morgan nods Jan 29 22:14:41 This is seven months too late for that though! Jan 29 22:16:42 * Morgan nods Jan 29 22:16:50 I'm a bit early for that I think Jan 29 22:17:13 Two more til they're due, and suppose Jan 29 22:17:55 Supposedly two more til I'm churched, not that we managed to the first month afterward last time! Jan 29 22:19:30 * Morgan nods Jan 29 22:19:46 Saving the world, I think we're allowed some leeway Jan 29 22:21:36 * MollyK nods, kissing just above the fabric Jan 29 22:21:50 Do you want this, or to play with the babies? Jan 29 22:22:04 Maybe we could return to this later? Jan 29 22:22:43 * MollyK nods, standing up. She sits turned beside him, legs over his Jan 29 22:23:03 Okay, guess which side is rolly baby, and which is kicky baby Jan 29 22:23:43 * Morgan taps his fingers up the left side of her bump Jan 29 22:23:46 Kicky on this side Jan 29 22:24:01 Mmmhmm Jan 29 22:25:58 * Morgan nods, continuing to tap Jan 29 22:26:30 *the baby starts to kick at his hand Jan 29 22:26:45 * Morgan smiles, moving his hand and repeating it on the other side Jan 29 22:27:28 *the pressure here is more like a big slow push than a kick. Molly watches his fondly Jan 29 22:28:26 * Morgan rubs his thumb up and down on that side while tapping on the other Jan 29 22:29:02 *this seems to suit both babies well. Molly sighs happily, relaxing* Jan 29 22:29:11 I have truly missed you though Jan 29 22:29:46 * Morgan nods Jan 29 22:29:53 I miss you the instant I close my eyes Jan 29 22:30:14 * MollyK smiles warmly, clearly touched Jan 29 22:30:22 That's beautiful, my love Jan 29 22:30:30 * Morgan shrugs Jan 29 22:30:32 Just the truth Jan 29 22:31:16 * MollyK leans up, kissing him gently. Against his hands both babies move more Jan 29 22:32:10 * Morgan sighs contentedly Jan 29 22:32:26 * MollyK rests back Jan 29 22:32:37 Do you wish to listen to them? Jan 29 22:33:20 * Morgan nods Jan 29 22:33:21 Always Jan 29 22:33:59 * MollyK fidgets so he can lie between her thighs with his head on her bump Jan 29 22:34:44 * Morgan does so, closing his eyes Jan 29 22:35:32 *the double thudding is quite loud, counterpoint so it seems almost continuous* Jan 29 22:35:50 * Morgan smiles, speaking quietly Jan 29 22:35:58 I'm very much looking forward to meeting the two of you Jan 29 22:36:35 * MollyK gently strokes his hair "I'm sure our girls are looking forward to meeting the Papa too" Jan 29 22:37:03 * Morgan nods Jan 29 22:38:34 *it's peaceful like this for several minutes but the sudden rain against the windows interrupts* Jan 29 22:39:24 Ah damn, they haven't finished patching that hole in the roof in the south east corner yet Jan 29 22:39:38 * Morgan sighs, sitting up Jan 29 22:39:43 I'll fetch some buckets Jan 29 22:40:08 * MollyK nods, hauling herself off the couch Jan 29 22:40:21 I'm glad our problems are so simple now Jan 29 22:40:29 * Morgan nods Jan 29 22:40:33 For now Jan 29 22:40:39 * MollyK nods Jan 29 22:41:09 You uhhh... you might wish to do up your trousers, as sexy as you look like that... Jan 29 22:41:28 * Morgan nods, doing so Jan 29 22:41:35 Don't want them falling down halfway there Jan 29 22:41:42 * MollyK giggles Jan 29 22:41:59 No, we'll save that til bedtime, I think! Jan 29 22:42:18 * Morgan nods Jan 29 22:42:20 Ready? Jan 29 22:42:26 * MollyK nods Jan 29 22:42:43 *she rearranged her own clothing Jan 29 22:43:45 Come on then Jan 29 22:45:39 * MollyK goes out of the door and down the hall. He catches the briefest of glances of a toddler hiding behind one of the bannisters on the floor above, half concealed. They have light brown hair and light eyes, a flash of white cotton fabric visible too Jan 29 22:46:33 * Morgan stops, backing up a few steps to look Jan 29 22:47:13 *he sees only the briefest glimpse of the material and the child goes away* Jan 29 22:47:22 * Morgan sighs, carrying on Jan 29 22:47:52 *he trips over a wooden pull along duck, and wakes with a slight jolt* Jan 29 22:48:36 *he's got his arm around her, but the massive twin belly is gone* Jan 29 22:49:11 * Morgan gently sits up Jan 29 22:49:26 * MollyK murmurs "Ready now?" Jan 29 22:49:51 * Morgan reaches over, smoothing her hair, sssshhhing her Jan 29 22:50:16 * MollyK smiles in her sleep, settling Jan 29 22:51:18 * Morgan climbs off the bed, wandering through to the study, looking for a map of Fischler Jan 29 22:51:36 *he finds one easily in a drawer Jan 29 22:53:31 * Morgan lays it out on the desk, looking at the Gottkirchen Jan 29 22:55:30 * Morgan nods to himself, finding some paper and making a few notes before going to find some coffee Jan 29 22:56:12 *people are up and about again, he's been asleep a full hour* Jan 29 22:57:39 *HH is coming out of the ballroom when Morgan is coming out of the galley Jan 29 22:57:42 * MollyK is now known as HH Jan 29 22:57:47 Hey man Jan 29 22:57:51 Hey Jan 29 22:58:01 How you doin'?

Jan 29 23:04:16 Went okay? Jan 29 23:06:26 * Morgan sips his coffee Jan 29 23:06:39 Different dream... one that I need to deal with as soon as I can Jan 29 23:07:19 At least it's not more o' the same! Jan 29 23:08:01 Not yet Jan 29 23:09:03 Surprised y' took the risk, man. Brave. Jan 29 23:10:58 Might not later... Jan 29 23:11:58 Ahhh, get it done now... what's th' dream? Jan 29 23:13:59 Living in Hafenlohr... I got stabbed dealing with some gang or other... group of objectionists using my taking over of the Grafdom as an excuse to start persecuting Vaticine people Jan 29 23:14:20 Run o' the mill nightmare? Jan 29 23:14:29 * Morgan shakes his head Jan 29 23:14:32 Warning I think Jan 29 23:14:40 * HH nods Jan 29 23:14:50 When's it gonna happen? Jan 29 23:15:17 Tough to say... not for a good while, but the time to put the work in to prevent it is now... Jan 29 23:15:30 * HH nods, looking focused Jan 29 23:15:50 Going through David? Jan 29 23:16:41 Be quickest way to get a message to Karlsruhe, aye... gonn' need him moving around Gottkirchen, getting the Freiarr's on side and the sheriffs... I'm not tolerating that bullshit Jan 29 23:16:53 * HH nods Jan 29 23:17:19 Damn right, didn' finish a War t' have anyone risk startin' it again Jan 29 23:17:49 * Morgan nods Jan 29 23:18:11 We make a better Eisen for everyone, not just those who prayed the same as us Jan 29 23:18:33 * HH nods Jan 29 23:19:09 Yeah we do. Anythin' y' need? Gonna try an' go back to sleep in case y' find out more? Jan 29 23:20:25 No... hole in the roof, so we were going to get buckets, I aint learning anything else. Jan 29 23:20:42 Molly there too was she? Jan 29 23:21:06 It was her dream Jan 29 23:21:54 * HH grins Jan 29 23:22:05 Ah man, the chaos I'd cause in there Jan 29 23:22:24 Think its a how it could go if you don't fix it sorta thing... like the Requiem... Jan 29 23:22:39 * HH nods Jan 29 23:22:55 Things go real bad? Was she in trouble? Jan 29 23:23:36 No, no, just... this bit hasn't gone well, need to sort it and now... Jan 29 23:25:03 * HH nods "Let you get on it, yer Grafship" Jan 29 23:25:19 * Morgan nods Jan 29 23:25:23 Catch you in a while Jan 29 23:25:34 * HH nods, letting him go Jan 29 23:25:42 * Morgan heads back to his study Jan 29 23:25:57 * HH is now known as Molly Jan 29 23:26:02 * Molly is still not up Jan 29 23:26:27 * Morgan goes through to her, rousing her gently Jan 29 23:26:52 * Molly smiles "mmm, my love, you have awful timing!" Jan 29 23:27:13 Sorted the buckets and made use of the time alone? Jan 29 23:27:35 Oh! Uhhh... yes Jan 29 23:27:59 * Morgan nods Jan 29 23:28:01 Figures Jan 29 23:28:32 How much were you there for? Do you need anything...? Jan 29 23:29:30 Uhhh, we were on our way to get buckets when I woke up Jan 29 23:30:09 * Molly smiles, stretching Jan 29 23:30:23 You missed the best bit, I'm afraid Jan 29 23:31:19 Maybe you can show me at some point Jan 29 23:32:13 Whenever and wherever you wish. A leaking attic, for example... Jan 29 23:32:47 Lets get that checked before we take residence... Jan 29 23:33:17 * Molly nods, sitting up Jan 29 23:33:26 That's significantly easier! Jan 29 23:33:46 * Morgan nods Jan 29 23:33:47 Indeed Jan 29 23:34:06 Did you have a nice time? Jan 29 23:36:03 * Morgan nods Jan 29 23:36:34 And now... I have work to do to stop the nonsense before it starts Jan 29 23:36:50 * Molly nods thoughtfully Jan 29 23:37:07 Oh yes. Sorry, my mind was rather elsewhere Jan 29 23:38:20 * Morgan nods Jan 29 23:38:22 I had noticed Jan 29 23:38:39 * Molly smiles Jan 29 23:39:05 It seems like increasing doesn't deter me. Are you writing to my father? Jan 29 23:40:11 * Morgan nods Jan 29 23:40:36 Going to get Karlsruhe moving round, getting the Freiarrs onside and the Sheriffs too Jan 29 23:40:43 * Molly nods Jan 29 23:41:19 We should have considered that. I thought there might eventually be some push back from the Vaticine people... Jan 29 23:43:01 * Morgan nods Jan 29 23:43:13 Didn't expect the objectionists to use it as an excuse Jan 29 23:43:24 No, not at all Jan 29 23:43:54 * Molly goes to get out the mirrors Jan 29 23:44:02 Do you wish to handle it? Jan 29 23:45:15 * Morgan nods Jan 29 23:45:17 I think I should Jan 29 23:46:02 * Molly nods Jan 29 23:46:19 I'll check the other mirrors then Jan 29 23:47:38 * Molly takes David's to him. The note on the Sudlachenburg side says "Everything is well here, Papa" from two days ago Jan 29 23:48:39 * Morgan writes a note, detailing what he wants Karlsruhe to do, including making it known that any sort of intolerance or antagonism to those of either faith will not be tolerated Jan 29 23:49:31 Edward would like to talk to you if you can arrange a time, but it's just to chat... Jan 29 23:50:42 * Morgan nods Jan 29 23:51:05 Alright... uhhh... yes, as soon as possible then Jan 29 23:51:47 * Molly deals with that Jan 29 23:52:07 Oh, your Mother also... shall I say tomorrow after quiet hour? Jan 29 23:52:38 * Morgan nods Jan 29 23:53:05 And... Jacques for Varick... four o'clock tomorrow? Jan 29 23:53:15 * Morgan nods Jan 29 23:53:18 He'll enjoy that Jan 29 23:53:27 *she writes the notes* he will Jan 29 23:54:42 * Molly looks at the final one "umm... shall I say... hmmm... Friday for Florrie, so that we are passed your wedding anniversary too?" Jan 29 23:56:47 There is no way to do it before? Jan 29 23:57:29 Yes, but I thought you might need more time Jan 29 23:58:13 I'll... I'll be alright Jan 29 23:59:56 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
