Feb 19 00:00:35 *Amir waits to be moved * Feb 19 00:01:30 * Morgan picks him up, handing him to Zareen Feb 19 00:01:39 If anyone needs me, I'll be in the hold Feb 19 00:01:57 *she takes him* I'll let them know Feb 19 00:02:24 * Morgan nods, getting up, picking up the coffee Feb 19 00:02:30 I'll see you all later Feb 19 00:03:39 *they let him go, but he can hear Amir start to cry a little when the door is shut* Feb 19 00:04:31 * Morgan heaves a sigh as he makes his way down to the hold, taking up the tools and wood to start work Feb 19 00:09:43 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Feb 19 00:10:04 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Feb 19 01:05:53 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Feb 19 01:08:04 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Feb 19 02:07:00 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Feb 19 02:09:35 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Feb 19 03:36:03 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Feb 19 03:38:39 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Feb 19 04:26:57 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Feb 19 04:26:57 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Feb 19 16:14:33 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Feb 19 18:10:40 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Feb 19 18:15:22 *He gets started with HH senior's third important thing for men; hard work. Upstairs, the second important thing will be entertaining children and gossiping, no doubt, after her prolonged questioning about self-pleasuring. It shouldn't be much of a surprise, given how she'd looked up at him adoringly as he'd started off the strokes that she would Feb 19 18:15:22 take on til he finished on her face, nor how she'd gone mute at the stream when it became clear what he was going to do, nor how she'd previously confessed that she always thought of him pleasuring himself when she did so alone. Despite his own misgivings, it seems a source of great enjoyment and arousal for his wife. These fond memories are broken Feb 19 18:15:22 up by the first of Da's important things for a man, his best friend* Feb 19 18:15:26 * MollyK is now known as HH Feb 19 18:15:34 Hey man Feb 19 18:16:09 hey Feb 19 18:17:16 Gettin' on a bit, thought I'd see 'ow yer doing Feb 19 18:18:15 * Morgan checks the time Feb 19 18:20:47 *it's nearly five, and the Rose is already slowing* Feb 19 18:27:10 Well I'll be damned Feb 19 18:50:40 They're okay up there, gossipin' as usual Feb 19 18:50:56 * Morgan nods Feb 19 18:51:02 Good.

An' I'll say nothin', and then she doesn' believe it, b'cause she thinks e'eryone's thinking something all th' time Feb 19 19:11:07 * Morgan nods Feb 19 19:11:15 They don't understand that we can sort of switch off... Feb 19 19:12:09 * HH nods Feb 19 19:12:32 'Pparently they have talkin' in their head all th' time Feb 19 19:12:42 sounds... horrid Feb 19 19:14:50 * HH nods Feb 19 19:15:20 Mebbie that's why they talk all th' time, so it don' get too loud in there Feb 19 19:16:10 Thats not a bad point actually Feb 19 19:18:05 * HH nods Feb 19 19:18:11 That's what she said Feb 19 19:20:10 * Morgan nods Feb 19 19:20:22 Ready to head up?

Feb 19 19:28:00 Everything is well. My Father has seen Karlsruhe and Karlsruhe has gone to work on it Feb 19 19:28:52 * Morgan nods Feb 19 19:29:11 Good. Hopefully he can head off the trouble Feb 19 19:29:42 * Molly nods Feb 19 19:30:31 Papa was going to go back through Innesbruck and escorting Hildegarde, Rickon, and Heinrich to Sudlachenburg for the Shadowfayre Feb 19 19:31:17 * Morgan nods Feb 19 19:31:20 Thats good of him Feb 19 19:32:22 * Molly nods Feb 19 19:32:49 He and Mama are looking forward to seeing it for th-... *she tilts her head* Feb 19 19:32:59 What? Feb 19 19:34:09 If a mirror was propped at a window overlooking the festivities, could we watch some of it? Feb 19 19:34:23 * Morgan nods slowly Feb 19 19:34:25 In theory Feb 19 19:34:34 * Molly smiles Feb 19 19:34:47 Would you like that? It's been so long for you Feb 19 19:34:58 * Morgan nods Feb 19 19:35:07 It has, yes... I don't know, maybe? Feb 19 19:36:01 *the last was in January '67, Jana ten months old, her first and last Shadowfayre, never able to follow in her mother's footsteps to be the Shadow Queen* Feb 19 19:36:46 * Morgan sighs Feb 19 19:39:01 It's up to you, my love, but morning sickness not withstanding I aim to be there this time next year for it Feb 19 19:39:46 * Morgan nods Feb 19 19:39:48 So do I Feb 19 19:40:29 I'm confident you won't have morning sickness Feb 19 19:40:33 * Molly smirks Feb 19 19:40:42 * Morgan nods Feb 19 19:40:44 Good good Feb 19 19:42:03 But at the end of January I might! Feb 19 19:42:29 * Morgan nods Feb 19 19:42:36 Oh yes, quite possibly Feb 19 19:43:30 * Molly smiles "You hope?" Feb 19 19:43:44 * Morgan nods Feb 19 19:43:47 Realistically, yes Feb 19 19:43:58 * Molly nods Feb 19 19:44:17 I do look forward to the Shadowfayre Feb 19 19:45:03 * Morgan nods Feb 19 19:45:08 I have mixed feelings about it Feb 19 19:46:04 Do you? Why? Feb 19 19:46:24 Because Jana never got chance to follow her mothers footsteps... Feb 19 19:47:21 * Molly looks sad Feb 19 19:47:35 Oh liebling, I'm sorry, I hadn't thought of that Feb 19 19:47:46 Its alright love Feb 19 19:49:06 * Molly nods Feb 19 19:49:24 We don't have to be there next year if you don't want to Feb 19 19:51:29 * Morgan shakes his head Feb 19 19:51:33 No, we should be there Feb 19 19:52:31 * Molly nods Feb 19 19:53:03 Alright, my love.

Feb 19 19:54:58 * Morgan nods Feb 19 19:55:08 Aye... not sure how many more just yet though Feb 19 19:56:01 Will there be many in Capperlucia? Feb 19 19:56:09 I would imagine so, yes Feb 19 19:56:17 * Molly smiles Feb 19 19:56:42 I won't stay out long as we'll be having that nap before your watch Feb 19 19:56:54 * Morgan nods Feb 19 19:56:55 Alright love Feb 19 19:59:42 *once the children have finished, Amir starts crawling very slowly towards them* Feb 19 20:00:16 Well now... someones definitely on the move Feb 19 20:01:13 * Molly smiles, getting down on the floor. She gently claps her hands together before holding out her arms "Come on then, come here..." Feb 19 20:01:36 *Amir is grinning as he inches closer* Feb 19 20:02:08 * Morgan watches him, smiling slightly Feb 19 20:02:10 HH $she's got it bad!$ Feb 19 20:02:28 $yeah. Its gonna hurt her like hell when we have to leave him$ Feb 19 20:02:44 HH $yep$ Feb 19 20:03:23 * Molly can eventually pick him up, smiling "well done, lammchen, that was a long way!" Feb 19 20:03:51 HH $got his own nickname now...$ Feb 19 20:04:02 $Has had for a few days$ Feb 19 20:04:26 $Really smitten then$ Feb 19 20:04:47 * Morgan nods slightly Feb 19 20:06:25 * Molly is happily making faces at the baby when Varick comes to sit on Morgan's lap Feb 19 20:06:37 * Morgan cuddles him Feb 19 20:06:40 Hello young man Feb 19 20:08:13 V: why does Amir have such dark skin? Feb 19 20:09:09 Because his father does, because he comes from the empire Feb 19 20:09:53 V: but why do they have dark skin there? Feb 19 20:10:02 * Morgan shrugs Feb 19 20:10:07 Because its sunnier I think Feb 19 20:10:29 V: Will my skin be dark in Capperlucia? Feb 19 20:11:00 No... we'll have to be careful not to get burned Feb 19 20:12:49 V: okay, Papa. Feb 19 20:13:57 * Molly lays Amir across her lap to play a little game with tickling. After a minute, he cuddles into her and says Bah! Feb 19 20:15:39 * Molly smiles fondly, stroking his black hair "You love that rhyme, don't you?" Feb 19 20:15:50 A: Bah bah! Feb 19 20:17:31 * Molly sings the rhyme to him, combining it with some movements to go along with the words. Varick likes this idea, so Molly has to do it a second time, then a third. The others chat amongst themselves Feb 19 20:18:49 * Morgan watches them for a moment before looking to HeinzHarold Feb 19 20:18:53 Wonder how far we made it today Feb 19 20:20:24 HH: Could go check with Cap'n, he's on til eight Feb 19 20:21:36 * Morgan nods Feb 19 20:21:49 Might do... need to put the word about that he's not to be disturbed tonight Feb 19 20:23:02 $on a promise$ Feb 19 20:23:35 $No... well, maybe. Claudia's trying another night of sharing a bed to sleep$ Feb 19 20:25:03 $sounds good, hopefully it helps* Feb 19 20:25:14 $Yeah, I hope so$ Feb 19 20:26:11 *the time until Varick's bedtime slips away. Neither Zareen nor Xsarlac have asked for the baby back, so Molly and Varick are still playing with him* Feb 19 20:27:34 * Morgan joins in playing with the three of them, interspersing it with chatting to the others Feb 19 20:28:34 V: I'm tired now, Papa Feb 19 20:29:09 Would you like me to put you to bed? Feb 19 20:29:20 V: yes please Feb 19 20:29:45 * Morgan nods, getting up and carrying him through to his room Feb 19 20:30:46 * Molly is now known as Varick Feb 19 20:31:10 Mama loves Amir, doesn't she? Feb 19 20:31:29 I think she does yes Feb 19 20:31:40 Do you think Zareen might sell him to us? I have three guilders Feb 19 20:32:09 No, she loves him very much... she wouldn't sell him any more than I would sell you Feb 19 20:33:31 * Varick sighs Feb 19 20:33:39 That makes me sad, Papa Feb 19 20:34:22 * Morgan nods Feb 19 20:34:26 You love him too, huh? Feb 19 20:35:15 * Varick nods Feb 19 20:35:21 I wish he was my brother Feb 19 20:35:45 * Morgan nods Feb 19 20:35:50 That would be nice Feb 19 20:36:06 * Varick nods, getting ready for bed Feb 19 20:36:18 When will I get a brother or sister? Feb 19 20:36:44 Soon, I hope Feb 19 20:36:49 Have you been planting the seed, Papa? You have to do that for a baby Feb 19 20:37:55 Sometimes it doesn't work right away... so we just have to wait and see Feb 19 20:39:19 * Varick nods Feb 19 20:39:30 You have to keep trying until you get it right Feb 19 20:40:36 * Morgan nods Feb 19 20:40:41 Yes, we will... Feb 19 20:41:58 * Varick settles with his bear, and the cat climbs on the bed Feb 19 20:42:09 He sails he won't pee in our sails Feb 19 20:42:14 Says* Feb 19 20:42:38 Good.. I'd rather he doesn't do that to anyones sails, it causes trouble Feb 19 20:44:49 * Varick nods Feb 19 20:44:54 He'll be good Feb 19 20:45:45 * Morgan nods, fussing the cat Feb 19 20:46:07 That captain was very mean to him wasn't he Feb 19 20:47:33 * Varick nods Feb 19 20:47:38 They kicked him Feb 19 20:50:17 * Morgan nods Feb 19 20:50:30 Come on now, get ready for bed Feb 19 20:50:58 * Varick does so, settling quickly Feb 19 20:51:45 * Morgan smooths the boys hair Feb 19 20:51:53 Good lad... I'll see you in the morning Feb 19 20:53:22 Goodnight, Papa Feb 19 20:53:52 * Varick is now known as Molly Feb 19 20:54:26 * Morgan kisses the boys forehead before retreating to the study Feb 19 20:55:04 * Molly is coming out of the bedroom in her black cloak when he comes out, the one that she had modified in Fischler so he could get his hands in to from the back when they ride Feb 19 20:55:15 Are you coming on deck, my love? Feb 19 20:55:43 * Morgan nods Feb 19 20:55:47 Sure, why not Feb 19 20:58:39 * Molly nods, smiling. They're fully anchored when they get up there, the sky is a navy blue and the stars are out. Sorgi is talking to one of the trainee captains Feb 19 21:00:15 * Morgan quietly heads toward him Feb 19 21:01:27 * Molly goes to the prow instead to look at the stars Feb 19 21:01:31 * Molly is now known as Sorgi Feb 19 21:02:40 * Morgan waits, listening, not interrupting Feb 19 21:03:42 *they're discussing who is on what watch overnight Feb 19 21:06:02 * Morgan moves into view but still doesn't interrupt Feb 19 21:06:35 *there's a natural break in the conversation before long* Feb 19 21:07:49 * Morgan clears his throat Feb 19 21:07:53 Captain... a moment? Feb 19 21:08:47 * Sorgi nods, moving to him "M'lord?" Feb 19 21:09:18 How far do you reckon we've come today? We weren't expecting quite -that- turn of speed Feb 19 21:10:50 * Sorgi nods Feb 19 21:12:05 I think we added a bit of distance. If we could keep that up we might be looking at the twenty fourth rather than the twenty six Feb 19 21:12:49 * Morgan nods Feb 19 21:13:06 Lets see how she goes then... you satisfied with preparations for your evening off? Feb 19 21:13:51 * Sorgi nods Feb 19 21:14:03 I am. Everything is in hand Feb 19 21:14:25 * Morgan nods Feb 19 21:14:45 good. I'm going to look at the stars with Molly for a bit before I get some sleep before my watch Feb 19 21:16:07 * Sorgi nods "yes, m'lord" Feb 19 21:16:21 * Sorgi is now known as Molly Feb 19 21:16:45 * Molly is waiting, looking at the southern horizon Feb 19 21:16:50 Is everything well? Feb 19 21:18:27 * Morgan nods Feb 19 21:18:50 Just wondering what sort of distance we made... he thinks if we can keep it up we might mtake a couple of days off our journey Feb 19 21:19:44 That would be nice! Feb 19 21:19:51 * Morgan nods Feb 19 21:19:55 Aye, I thought so Feb 19 21:20:05 * Molly leans her cheek to his arm Feb 19 21:20:16 Fastest ship really is fast Feb 19 21:20:46 * Morgan nods Feb 19 21:20:53 Certainly lives up to her reputation Feb 19 21:22:21 * Molly nods Feb 19 21:22:29 Indeed she does Feb 19 21:23:26 * Morgan looks up at the stars Feb 19 21:24:50 Beautiful Feb 19 21:25:01 * Morgan nods Feb 19 21:25:09 Aye. Feb 19 21:25:30 * Molly puts her arm around his waist Feb 19 21:25:56 We should try to do this often, enjoy the sea in the dark, and the stars Feb 19 21:26:22 * Morgan nods Feb 19 21:26:27 Yes, I think you're right Feb 19 21:27:28 * Molly nods, staying quiet, though her fingers gently stroke his flank Feb 19 21:28:07 * Morgan sighs quietly Feb 19 21:28:32 Are you burdened? Feb 19 21:29:06 Just thinking... I'm a very long way from home Feb 19 21:30:12 Yes, we are, and yet the Rose is sort of home too Feb 19 21:30:23 * Morgan nods Feb 19 21:30:25 Yes, it is Feb 19 21:30:56 The Shadowfayre made you think of it? Feb 19 21:31:34 No... just something that occurred to me when we set off... Feb 19 21:58:49 * Molly nods Feb 19 21:59:04 We are in the same boat, my love Feb 19 22:02:24 * Morgan nods Feb 19 22:02:25 aye Feb 19 22:02:57 You'll see more of this tonight Feb 19 22:03:41 * Morgan nods Feb 19 22:03:44 Aye, I will Feb 19 22:04:27 * Molly strokes his flank more firmly "And miss this?" Feb 19 22:05:36 * Morgan nods Feb 19 22:05:38 aye Feb 19 22:06:11 Fortunately you have many pleasant memories? Feb 19 22:06:41 * Morgan nods Feb 19 22:06:44 Yes, that is true Feb 19 22:07:19 You'll be back to bed after your watch? Feb 19 22:20:44 That is my intention, yes Feb 19 22:21:36 * Molly has quit (Ping Timeout) Feb 19 22:22:05 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Feb 19 22:22:27 * MollyK stays quiet a little longer before saying Feb 19 22:22:34 It's quite chilly Feb 19 22:24:59 * Morgan nods Feb 19 22:25:02 Yes, it is Feb 19 22:25:12 Would you like my coat? Feb 19 22:25:42 No, no. The slits in the back of my cloak let the air in, don't they? Feb 19 22:26:22 * Morgan nods Feb 19 22:26:34 Reckon so... Feb 19 22:26:41 * Morgan takes off his coat, putting it around her shoulders Feb 19 22:27:13 Gosh, trying to be seductive with you is difficult, my love! Feb 19 22:29:28 * Morgan laughs Feb 19 22:29:31 Sorry, I didn't realise Feb 19 22:29:40 * MollyK smiles Feb 19 22:30:30 It's alright. It was simply supposed to leave you wondering later when you are out here alone what I was or was not wearing beneath it Feb 19 22:30:54 Oh really? Feb 19 22:32:52 * MollyK nods "the modified cloak is rather like an invitation, isn't it? Beneath it I might have on several layers and a hard-to-breach corset... or your hand could simply find my bare skin. It'd be a pleasant thing to ponder?" Feb 19 22:33:26 * Morgan nods Feb 19 22:33:40 indeed. I'm going to try to chart the stars tonight... Feb 19 22:33:54 Yes, that will be nice Feb 19 22:34:38 * Morgan nods Feb 19 22:35:02 It will certainly keep you busy Feb 19 22:35:39 * Morgan nods Feb 19 22:35:43 Aye I imagine so Feb 19 22:36:38 We have a little time before dinner, would you like to show me your progress in the hold? Feb 19 22:37:11 Aye, if you'd like... Feb 19 22:37:20 * MollyK nods Feb 19 22:37:31 It'll be warmer Feb 19 22:38:22 * Morgan nods, taking her hand and leading her down to the hold Feb 19 22:39:29 *with dinner due before long, no one is working down there, so he gets time to explain what he's done and what he's doing next. She expresses interest and asks little questions here and there* Feb 19 22:40:00 * Morgan rubs at his nose Feb 19 22:40:07 Its not up to much yet... Feb 19 22:40:24 I think it's marvellous, you're so skilled Feb 19 22:41:19 * Morgan shrugs Feb 19 22:41:22 Its a challenge Feb 19 22:41:29 * MollyK smiles Feb 19 22:41:35 You like a challenge Feb 19 22:41:40 * Morgan nods Feb 19 22:41:45 I do... and this is important Feb 19 22:41:54 * MollyK nods Feb 19 22:42:03 She'll be delighted Feb 19 22:42:45 I hope so Feb 19 22:43:02 I know so, my love Feb 19 22:43:37 * Morgan nods slightly Feb 19 22:44:18 There's still the rattles for Sascha and Otto's babies too Feb 19 22:45:24 * Morgan nods Feb 19 22:45:30 Those are fairly easy in comparison Feb 19 22:45:36 * MollyK nods Feb 19 22:45:41 You're a busy man Feb 19 22:46:06 * Morgan nods Feb 19 22:46:25 Seems so. Feb 19 22:46:36 * MollyK smiles "are you ready to go and eat?" Feb 19 22:46:42 * Morgan nods Feb 19 22:46:43 Yes love Feb 19 22:47:30 * MollyK leads the way, leaving him in the study with the others when she goes into the bedroom to change out of the cloak Feb 19 22:48:27 * MollyK is now known as HH Feb 19 22:48:38 Y' see some stars? Feb 19 22:48:45 * Morgan nods Feb 19 22:48:49 Already looks different man Feb 19 22:48:59 * HH is sat beside Inga who is holding the sleeping baby Feb 19 22:49:26 Whole 'nother part o' the world Feb 19 22:50:02 Aye... long way from home... Feb 19 22:50:21 * HH nods "biggest adventure yet" Feb 19 22:50:26 $what the hell are two Sudlachenburg boys doing all the way out here?$ Feb 19 22:51:14 $heading for a land where the ladies barely cover ghemselves$ Feb 19 22:51:48 $That explains you going, sure....$ Feb 19 22:52:22 $you're following the love of your life across the world$ Feb 19 22:52:41 * Morgan nods slightly, watching Inga Feb 19 22:53:05 *inga looks at ease* Feb 19 22:54:12 What's takin' 'er so long? Feb 19 22:55:47 [You alright blossom?] Feb 19 22:55:55 I couldn't say... Feb 19 22:55:55 *he notices Inga smile slightly* Feb 19 22:56:03 [fine, my love] Feb 19 22:56:29 Y' see Cap'n? Feb 19 22:56:37 * Morgan nods Feb 19 22:56:51 Reckons we might knock two days off our journey if we keep that sort of pace up Feb 19 22:56:59 * HH nods Feb 19 22:57:12 That's good Feb 19 22:57:34 * Morgan nods Feb 19 22:57:35 $probably means we'll get there next time Inga's grumpy!$ Feb 19 22:57:49 Still can't get my head around her being so fast Feb 19 22:57:59 * HH nods Feb 19 22:58:07 It was impressive Feb 19 22:58:08 $I'm sure we can find you something to do$ Feb 19 22:58:25 $yeah, myself$ Feb 19 22:59:14 $I was thinking more of tasks to keep you occupied$ Feb 19 22:59:46 $she's going to be working anyway$ Feb 19 23:00:41 $Yep, I suppose she is$ Feb 19 23:01:13 *Molly comes out all wrapped up and with her shawl too* sorry, I was freezing up there! Feb 19 23:01:59 *he sees Inga smile slightly again* Feb 19 23:02:27 * Morgan raises an eyebrow momentarily Feb 19 23:04:11 *Molly just smiles innocently at him before dealing with their dinner. It's nice enough, but odd to think that it might be the last dinner he has with Zareen. No one mentions that particular plan as they eat * Feb 19 23:07:36 * Morgan eats quietly Feb 19 23:08:35 *the first time it's mentioned is when they've bidden the others good night and are settling on the couch together to nap* Feb 19 23:08:41 * HH is now known as Molly Feb 19 23:09:03 How do you feel about trying to fix Zareen tomorrow? Feb 19 23:09:31 Reluctant. I like Zareen, and its causing her a great deal of heartache Feb 19 23:10:46 * Molly nods Feb 19 23:11:14 I only hope it works as they hope. There's a chance neither of them will still be there Feb 19 23:11:51 * Morgan nods Feb 19 23:11:55 That worries me. A lot. Feb 19 23:12:17 Me too. What would you do if you were her? Feb 19 23:12:39 I think she's doing the right thing... its not just Amir she has to think about... Feb 19 23:13:17 * Molly nods Feb 19 23:13:30 It's the other five children, and her husband Feb 19 23:13:40 * Morgan nods Feb 19 23:13:41 aye Feb 19 23:14:20 It must be odd for him that she looks the same and yet he isn't attracted Feb 19 23:14:36 * Morgan ndos Feb 19 23:14:46 It must be quite unsettling Feb 19 23:15:00 * Molly nods Feb 19 23:15:21 * Morgan looks thoughtful Feb 19 23:15:21 We will have to wait and see, I suppose Feb 19 23:15:40 * Molly watches him fondly Feb 19 23:15:52 You're distracted? Feb 19 23:16:31 Just... thinking... how unsettling and unbalancing it is to see someones face that you know so well that -isn't- the person you knew... Feb 19 23:18:23 You're thinking of your dream again? Feb 19 23:19:11 I was thinking about Florrie actually Feb 19 23:20:52 Oh that makes sense Feb 19 23:21:10 * Morgan nods Feb 19 23:21:19 I thought so Feb 19 23:22:29 * Molly holds him close Feb 19 23:23:35 You are more at ease with her now? Feb 19 23:24:02 Its still quite jarring, especially since the dream Feb 19 23:26:37 * Molly nods sadly Feb 19 23:27:04 Hopefully you'll be at the end of that soon Feb 19 23:27:55 * Morgan nods Feb 19 23:28:00 Without too much pain ideally Feb 19 23:28:35 * Molly nods Feb 19 23:29:19 Are you ready to nap? I asked one of the crew to knock for us before your watch Feb 19 23:29:56 * Morgan nods Feb 19 23:29:58 I am, yes Feb 19 23:30:40 * Molly closes her eyes, settling. She sings quietly, and he falls asleep quickly Feb 19 23:32:02 *he dreams further along in the faked deaths thread. The weeks in between had been busy. Molly had clearly needed the sleep, because despite them sleeping most of the day she'd gone back to bed after dinner on their own in their parlour. He'd spent some hours reviewing the meticulous notes, including floor plans and all the financials he needed to Feb 19 23:32:03 know. He'd picked the closest suitable one, about two hours ride away, close enough that he could ride at first light, have the day with them, then ride home after putting them to bed. He'd sent HH and Seb to Bahnhof to deal with that so he and Molly could focus on themselves and Varick. Feb 19 23:32:03 **The sex is shockingly frequent, she often boldly asks, or sometimes finds ways to seduce him. Something seems to have changed since he came back with the news that she was going to be his wife. He is so often spent that the majority of his day he's not very on edge. The weeks have passed to HH's wedding, after which Morgan is going to Grenau to Feb 19 23:32:03 help them move. The wedding has been a great success, using Adalbrecht's garden for a party about as busy as a Shadowfayre. It's just getting dark at half after nine, and he's stood with the grinning groom. The wedding had been late afternoon, so there's been no repose. Feb 19 23:32:03 /nick HH Feb 19 23:32:08 * Molly is now known as HH Feb 19 23:33:39 ACTION is drinking watered down beer in respect of what he will shortly need to be doing. He looks to Morgan Feb 19 23:33:39 So man, got any advice fer me? Feb 19 23:34:03 I figured you'd know all about it Feb 19 23:34:24 Despite a illustrious career in camps an' havin' a lot o' freedom with Inga, I'm still technic'ly a virgin, and so's she Feb 19 23:35:07 Oh... I see... well... those rumours it'll hurt her... true, unfortunately, but not for long. Just go slow. Feb 19 23:35:32 Tha's gon' be pretty difficult! Feb 19 23:35:42 * Morgan nods Feb 19 23:36:11 I dunno man... when it comes to it, you focus on her and it sort of sorts itself out Feb 19 23:36:38 How long's the pain last? Feb 19 23:37:20 Keep her mind occupied, not long... moved fairly quick from being painful to feeling good I'm told Feb 19 23:37:42 Same for both, or does it vary? Feb 19 23:38:46 Similar for both of them Feb 19 23:39:12 * HH nods "anythin' else I should know?" Feb 19 23:40:58 Don't... think... so... Feb 19 23:41:54 Really gon' be so much better than all the other stuff y' do without goin' all th' way? Feb 19 23:42:47 * Morgan nods Feb 19 23:42:54 Yeah, not just physically either Feb 19 23:43:16 * HH nods, smiling Feb 19 23:43:29 Reck'n I'm gettin' any sleep tonight? Feb 19 23:44:16 Maybe... you'll find you're worn out, its been a big day Feb 19 23:44:34 * HH nods, looking around "big turn out" Feb 19 23:44:41 * Morgan nods Feb 19 23:44:46 You're popular Feb 19 23:45:10 B'cause I'm sexy an' funny Feb 19 23:45:36 Well, at least one person thinks so Feb 19 23:45:51 She's th' only one I need Feb 19 23:46:00 * Morgan nods, smiling Feb 19 23:46:44 Y' worried about goin' to Grenau? Feb 19 23:47:09 A little... don't worry about it man Feb 19 23:48:10 Woulda come with y', but when am I ever gonna get a private garden all t' ourselves, eh? Feb 19 23:48:31 * Morgan shakes his head Feb 19 23:48:43 No, its time for you to spend the time with your wife Feb 19 23:49:11 * HH nods, smiling "sure y' can manage without me?" Feb 19 23:49:54 * Morgan smiles slightly Feb 19 23:50:11 Not really, but I'll try not to fuck it all up until you're available Feb 19 23:51:31 * HH nods "more worried bout Molly goin' off the rails, but Rosie will be here t' support 'er" Feb 19 23:52:03 Not -entirely- happy about that... Feb 19 23:54:12 He's a good man, an' I'm reliably informed you pair 'ave been at it like rabbits Feb 19 23:54:45 * Morgan nods Feb 19 23:54:50 Yeah, could say that Feb 19 23:56:16 * HH grins "sounds like we plan t' be. What's gotcha so worried?" Feb 19 23:58:11 * Morgan shrugs Feb 19 23:58:18 I dunno, she was tempted by him before... Feb 19 23:59:28 Bit diff'rent. She know nothing's gonna happen with Lina, yeah? Feb 19 23:59:37 * Morgan nods
