Feb 20 00:01:10 Thats the plan Feb 20 00:02:22 * HH nods Feb 20 00:02:42 Soon as yer back, 'e'll go home Feb 20 00:02:48 * Morgan nods Feb 20 00:02:53 alright Feb 20 00:03:57 * HH looks around Feb 20 00:04:03 Where -is- she? Feb 20 00:04:25 Its a big deal for her, she'll be working her way up to it man Feb 20 00:05:10 Not my wife... whoa, my -wife-, man! Feb 20 00:05:28 * Morgan grins Feb 20 00:05:34 What, you mean my wife? Feb 20 00:07:22 Yeah. Where is -your- wife? She's not with -my- wife. *he grins again* Feb 20 00:07:40 I dunno... might go find her if you're alright here Feb 20 00:08:14 * HH nods Feb 20 00:08:35 Jus' waitin' for people to bugger off so I can go to bed Feb 20 00:08:42 * Morgan nods Feb 20 00:08:47 alright. I'll be back in a bit Feb 20 00:09:06 * HH nods, his Ma catching his attention Feb 20 00:09:20 * Morgan pats his arm before going looking for Molly Feb 20 00:11:01 *he finds her in a hallway heading towards the garden again. She looks so beautiful in a green and silver dress with the coronet the Eisenfurst had given her at their own wedding. She smiles* Liebes herz Feb 20 00:11:06 * HH is now known as Molly Feb 20 00:11:15 Where've you been hiding? Feb 20 00:11:28 I was checking on Varick Feb 20 00:11:39 * Morgan nods Feb 20 00:11:45 HeinzHarolds a bit nervous... Feb 20 00:12:15 * Molly nods, looking around "does he need you?" Feb 20 00:12:58 No, I don't think so... he's just waiting for everyone to go home so he can go to bed Feb 20 00:13:11 * Molly giggles "I bet he is!" Feb 20 00:13:51 * Morgan nods, looking round Feb 20 00:14:16 *it's quiet at present, but the sort of place that's usually busy* Feb 20 00:14:35 Shall we find ourselves somewhere quiet for a drink? Feb 20 00:15:27 * Morgan nods Feb 20 00:15:29 Aye, lets Feb 20 00:16:16 *they end up in a small library with a fire going, and get glasses of whiskey. She sits on the couch, sipping a little Feb 20 00:16:30 How do you feel about leaving in the morning? Feb 20 00:16:41 Conflicted Feb 20 00:16:45 Oh? Feb 20 00:18:23 I suspect we will have reached the time we have to tell the children we will not be together as a family... and I am uneasy about Sebastien being here... Feb 20 00:19:18 * Molly looks at her glass Feb 20 00:19:54 The former will be hard, the latter is no issue. I would do nothing to betray you Feb 20 00:21:06 * Morgan nods Feb 20 00:21:14 You know the same applies for me? Feb 20 00:21:24 * Molly nods Feb 20 00:22:59 If you were going to be intimate with her, it would have been that first night, or the next morning *he'd not mentioned the open bedroom door or the morning he saw her naked, automatically stirred by the sight* Feb 20 00:24:49 * Morgan shakes his head Feb 20 00:25:04 I'm glad you're not concerned this time around Feb 20 00:25:47 * Molly nods Feb 20 00:26:20 I know you will be leaving well-satisfied, as well as having made the choice to be faithful to me Feb 20 00:27:20 * Morgan frowns Feb 20 00:29:06 What's wrong? Feb 20 00:30:36 * Morgan shakes his head Feb 20 00:31:42 Just... she rejected the idea. In truth, I was relieved. Feb 20 00:32:03 * Molly sips her drink "were you?" Feb 20 00:32:20 * Morgan nods Feb 20 00:32:35 I am not the man that was her husband. Feb 20 00:33:40 That is why she refused? Feb 20 00:35:22 She hoped I would see sense and put you aside. When I refused, and rebuffed her advances, she finally saw that things weren't going to be as they were, that I'm not the same man that I was. Feb 20 00:36:30 * Molly nods slowly "I see... you could have set me aside. I'd have hurt, but I'd have understood why you had to choose her" Feb 20 00:37:10 And yet... I did not. I -would- not Feb 20 00:37:49 * Molly nods again "most would. For the chance to have that back, after so much pain..." Feb 20 00:38:37 I got through that pain because of you. My heart is fuller, because of you. I didn't marry you because I couldn't have her, I married you because I want... you... Feb 20 00:39:08 * Molly looks very touched, tears coming to her eyes Feb 20 00:39:18 Oh. I did not know that Feb 20 00:39:32 You didn't know?! Feb 20 00:39:42 * Molly shakes her head Feb 20 00:40:45 No. You had lost her, there was nothing in the world that could bring her back to you. Sometimes we must make the best of a bad situation and work with what is available Feb 20 00:40:57 * Morgan shakes his head Feb 20 00:41:09 No... thats not it at all Feb 20 00:41:44 * Molly nods, clearly trying to take this in, tears falling onto the green satin Feb 20 00:41:53 Alright... Feb 20 00:42:17 * Morgan moves to her, taking her hand Feb 20 00:42:26 I've upset you... I'm sorry... Feb 20 00:42:40 No, I'm just very emotional at present Feb 20 00:43:35 * Morgan nods, squeezing her hand Feb 20 00:44:10 * Molly gently squeezes back, watching him intently Feb 20 00:45:30 What? Feb 20 00:45:46 * Molly watches his expression Feb 20 00:45:55 I am with child. Feb 20 00:47:00 * Morgan blinks Feb 20 00:47:10 Uhh... really? Feb 20 00:48:12 * Molly nods Feb 20 00:48:16 I've missed my course, I'm tender in places, and I have been sick two mornings. Feb 20 00:48:41 * Morgan kisses her suddenly before pulling away Feb 20 00:48:49 thats... thats... fantastic Feb 20 00:48:53 * Molly looks surprised Feb 20 00:49:00 You aren't unhappy?! Feb 20 00:49:27 No... I don't think I am Feb 20 00:49:36 * Molly smiles Feb 20 00:50:20 That's such a relief. You seemed so sadly resigned to it as a condition I was placing on things Feb 20 00:50:37 * Morgan nods Feb 20 00:51:16 I was under a great deal of stress... spending time with Jana and JoJo has helped, and being... -secure- here with you... Feb 20 00:51:30 * Molly looks perplexed Feb 20 00:51:37 You have not felt secure? Feb 20 00:52:16 Until my return, things were decidedly unsettled. Feb 20 00:52:42 Oh, this situation, not our relationship before that Feb 20 00:53:29 No... though I had not fully realised the depth of -your- feeling for -me- either Feb 20 00:53:52 What?! Really?! Feb 20 00:54:07 * Morgan nods Feb 20 00:54:29 Don't get me wrong, I knew you loved me deeply... just maybe not so intensely Feb 20 00:54:57 * Molly is smiling, and takes a handkerchief from the neckline of her dress. Now that he knows she's increasing he can see that the veins are more prominent on her breasts Feb 20 00:55:24 It is intense, it has been since before the monastery Feb 20 00:55:53 * Morgan nods Feb 20 00:55:57 I had not fully realised Feb 20 00:56:15 Until when?! *she wipes her eyes* Feb 20 00:56:37 Recently Feb 20 00:57:16 Oh god I'm so sorry! I never wanted to put any pressure on you to love me as much, or more than you could manage Feb 20 00:57:40 I think we're rather past that now, don't you? Feb 20 00:57:53 * Molly nods, watching him with a smile Feb 20 00:58:43 I am mad about you! I've barely had two thoughts to rub together that weren't of you since before I fell in the pool! Feb 20 00:59:16 * Morgan smiles, kissing her knuckles Feb 20 01:00:36 I am absolutely, entirely, all-encompassingly besotted and in love with you. Feb 20 01:00:47 * Morgan smiles Feb 20 01:00:52 That feeling is mutual Feb 20 01:01:09 * Molly watches him, looking awed Feb 20 01:01:16 I'm so happy! Feb 20 01:02:03 * Morgan nods Feb 20 01:02:07 As am I Feb 20 01:03:06 * Molly nods "And you're happy that we'll have a baby? It's very early still, but there's no good reason that it won't be all well" Feb 20 01:03:15 * Morgan nods Feb 20 01:03:22 I am, I'm ecstatic Feb 20 01:04:11 * Molly shifts, kneeling a little to kiss him slowly. She tastes of whiskey and tears Feb 20 01:05:26 * Morgan kisses her gently Feb 20 01:06:30 * Molly watches him, smiling a little "please tell me you will not be one of those husbands who are turned off by their wife's increasing body!" Feb 20 01:06:48 Uhhhh... no, that will not be the case Feb 20 01:08:00 * Molly nods "That is good, because I have enjoyed how we have been intimate since you came back" Feb 20 01:08:15 * Morgan nods Feb 20 01:08:17 As have I Feb 20 01:08:56 * Molly gently kisses him again. He notices that unmistakable sort of scent, not identical but similar, that Dietlinde had when she was increasing too Feb 20 01:12:33 * Morgan pulls away slightly Feb 20 01:12:37 Should you be drinking that? Feb 20 01:12:55 I've barely drunk any Feb 20 01:13:49 Are you going to be extremely protective? Feb 20 01:14:53 Quite likely, to be honest Feb 20 01:15:15 You'll still make love to me very frequently though? Feb 20 01:15:29 * Morgan nods Feb 20 01:15:33 Oh yes Feb 20 01:15:39 * Molly smiles Feb 20 01:15:56 You're leaving early in the morning... Feb 20 01:16:01 * Morgan nods Feb 20 01:16:03 Yes I am Feb 20 01:16:21 Will you take me to bed? Feb 20 01:16:56 * Morgan nods Feb 20 01:16:59 Aye love Feb 20 01:17:15 * Molly whispers slowly in his ear "unless you'd like to have me right here..." Feb 20 01:17:33 Bit too risky with everyone around Feb 20 01:17:56 * Molly looks surprised "that's not a horrified no..." Feb 20 01:18:45 Remind me when I return from Grenau to tell you about the dream I had the first night I was there... Feb 20 01:19:05 * Molly shakes her head "tell me now?" Feb 20 01:19:40 I thought you wanted taking to bed Feb 20 01:20:05 Bed will still be there in fifteen minutes... Feb 20 01:20:56 Won't take that long... I had a dream of you and I being intimate in a rather frantic way... in the Eisenfursts stables... Feb 20 01:21:33 Oh! *she watches his expression closely for signs of his opinions on that* Feb 20 01:22:25 Was a bit of a shock Feb 20 01:22:47 Mmm... it sounds like a pleasant dream though? Feb 20 01:23:04 * Morgan nods Feb 20 01:23:16 At a less... stressful time it would've been most welcome, if a little shocking Feb 20 01:23:29 * Molly nods, smiling Feb 20 01:23:53 I really ought to say I would never countenance such an action... Feb 20 01:24:24 but... Feb 20 01:24:50 But... well, it does sound quite arousing Feb 20 01:26:09 * Morgan nods Feb 20 01:26:10 Quite Feb 20 01:26:55 * Molly looks thoughtful a moment before she says "Bed. Now... please?" Feb 20 01:28:21 * Morgan nods Feb 20 01:28:23 Come on then Feb 20 01:29:20 * Molly giggles, leaving her glass behind. In reality, she gently shakes his shoulder "my love, it's twenty before twelve, I am going to bed now" Feb 20 01:30:04 * Morgan groans, sitting up Feb 20 01:30:12 Mmm, alright love... I'll see you in a few hours Feb 20 01:30:31 Are you alright? Feb 20 01:30:50 * Morgan rubs his face Feb 20 01:30:55 Yeah... yeah I'm ok Feb 20 01:31:10 * Molly gets up "nightmare?" Feb 20 01:31:29 Sort of. Tell you in the morning Feb 20 01:32:22 * Molly nods, bending down to kiss him a moment. She simply smells of rose water and lavender Feb 20 01:32:50 G'night love Feb 20 01:33:22 * Molly goes on through, having left her shawl on the couch beside him Feb 20 01:35:21 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Feb 20 01:39:33 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Feb 20 09:55:41 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Feb 20 11:43:22 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Feb 20 13:05:55 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Feb 20 13:06:47 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Feb 20 13:07:56 *the cat comes up with him into the nest. It's not that cold, not like in Eisen, so it's odd she was so cold on deck* Feb 20 13:08:13 * Morgan frowns, thinking about it Feb 20 13:08:52 *maybe she really did have nothing beneath her cloak after all* Feb 20 13:09:43 * Morgan fusses the cat, getting into a comfortable position Feb 20 13:11:52 Just me n you kid Feb 20 13:12:49 *Ulysses purrs, quietly around his neck. There are definitely constellations he hasn't seen before* Feb 20 13:13:05 * Morgan takes his time drawing them Feb 20 13:14:00 *by the time he's finished, the stars have moved, but more than they should* Feb 20 13:14:43 * Morgan frowns, marking their new positions Feb 20 13:16:48 *he's unable to get a good grasp of how much time has passed, very unusually for him* Feb 20 13:17:32 * Morgan shakes his head, looking round Feb 20 13:18:20 *despite being anchored, they seem to be drifting* Feb 20 13:18:37 What the hell Feb 20 13:18:46 * MollyK is now known as Ulysses Feb 20 13:18:52 * Ulysses meows Feb 20 13:19:25 We seem to be moving... Feb 20 13:19:45 * Morgan looks down at the deck to see if the anchor has been raised Feb 20 13:20:55 *it hasnt* Feb 20 13:21:19 * Morgan calls down Feb 20 13:22:20 *one of the trainee captains calls back* Feb 20 13:23:11 We're moving... Feb 20 13:23:39 R: what?! *theres a pause* oh shit, yeah Feb 20 13:24:28 * Morgan looks round, scanning the horizon Feb 20 13:25:14 I thought we were anchored Feb 20 13:26:42 R: We are! This is impossible! Feb 20 13:27:06 *it's very slow, but in the correct direction* Feb 20 13:27:49 Sea currents? Feb 20 13:29:19 R: be bloody strong ones if it is! Feb 20 13:29:49 * Morgan nods, looking round again Feb 20 13:29:58 Nothing we're going to run into... Feb 20 13:30:17 *apart from the movement, it's all just normal* Feb 20 13:30:32 Doubt it. Whale, maybe? Feb 20 13:31:14 Dragging us along? Unlikely... is the anchor chain hanging down or angled? Feb 20 13:32:52 *it takes a moment for him to look* angled like she's dragging it Feb 20 13:33:07 So we're not being dragged by it, so no whale Feb 20 13:34:11 R: meant that's what we could hit, m'lord Feb 20 13:34:32 Oh... she's a sturdy girl Feb 20 13:35:24 R: beautiful girl. Fuck knows how she's moving Feb 20 13:36:22 Not a lot we can do about it then... Feb 20 13:36:39 R: not a sausage Feb 20 13:38:08 * Morgan nods, trying to get an idea of the time Feb 20 13:38:32 *its harder than normal, but about one* Feb 20 13:40:22 Alright, lets just see where this takes us Feb 20 13:41:05 R: want me to wake Cap'n? Feb 20 13:41:44 No... no point. There's nothing we can do about it. Get me someone to replace me up here, and HeinzHarold Feb 20 13:42:46 R: yes m'lord Feb 20 13:43:50 * Ulysses is now known as HH Feb 20 13:44:16 *it's about ten minutes later when a man comes to take over* Feb 20 13:44:40 * Morgan drops down the rigging quickly Feb 20 13:45:53 What's goin' on, man? Feb 20 13:46:18 We're moving... dragging the anchor and I'm finding it hard to get a fix on the time Feb 20 13:47:01 The fuck?! Feb 20 13:47:10 * Morgan nods Feb 20 13:47:50 Yeah. I figure me and you are best suited, less likely to freak out about it Feb 20 13:48:29 I'm stumped already Feb 20 13:48:36 * Morgan nods Feb 20 13:48:49 I need an offcut of wood from the hold Feb 20 13:50:49 How big dya want it? Feb 20 13:51:07 * Morgan holds out his hands just under a foot apart Feb 20 13:52:07 * HH goes to fetch it, back not much later Feb 20 13:52:21 Here's yer wood Feb 20 13:52:47 * Morgan takes it, using the lamp on deck to pour oil on it Feb 20 13:54:04 * HH watches him, yawning Feb 20 13:54:31 * Morgan carries it over to the siderail before lighting it and hurling it as far as he can from the ship Feb 20 13:54:44 Good throw Feb 20 13:55:02 * Morgan nods, watching it in the water Feb 20 13:55:08 Got a theory... Feb 20 13:55:42 * HH stands by him, watching. The wood doesn't move much Feb 20 13:56:09 Figure if... it keeps pace with us, its the sea... if it doesn't, its the ship... Feb 20 13:56:36 * HH watches how the little light is left behind Feb 20 13:57:09 Guess that answers that Feb 20 13:57:49 The absolute fuck, man?! Feb 20 13:58:05 Why now... Feb 20 13:58:42 * HH takes out a flask Feb 20 13:59:18 Open ocean? Too much risk closer to th' coast? Feb 20 13:59:59 Could be... reckon we could haul that anchor up? Feb 20 14:00:20 Five of us? Feb 20 14:00:33 * Morgan shrugs Feb 20 14:00:42 I'm reluctant to freak the others out Feb 20 14:01:45 Could be she gets a good speed with th' anchor up Feb 20 14:02:11 * Morgan nods Feb 20 14:02:18 Yeah... Feb 20 14:04:42 Not sure we could manage it wi'out more anyway Feb 20 14:05:04 No... looks like we're just waiting to see how far she drags us then... Feb 20 14:06:08 * HH nods Feb 20 14:06:18 Heading the right way? Feb 20 14:07:07 * Morgan nods Feb 20 14:07:09 yeah Feb 20 14:08:43 * HH nods Feb 20 14:08:50 Shit, man. Feb 20 14:09:45 * Morgan moves across the deck, putting his hand against the mast, speaking quietly Feb 20 14:09:55 What are you doing Darlin? Feb 20 14:10:49 *she doesn't answer him* Feb 20 14:11:30 Whatcha thinkin', man? Feb 20 14:11:35 * Morgan looks at HeinzHarold Feb 20 14:12:25 Unlikely there's a patch of current that didn't drag the wood with it... gotta be the ship... being so big and fast... its not that big a leap to... *he lowers his voice* magic Feb 20 14:12:40 * HH nods Feb 20 14:12:45 We need a baby. Feb 20 14:13:14 I'm not in the mood... no... I get you... Feb 20 14:13:21 * HH chuckles Feb 20 14:13:53 Wouldya be able t' rule out any watery bastards pullin' us? Feb 20 14:14:28 Uhhh... if they're warmer or colder than the water, maybe... Feb 20 14:15:45 Worth a try? Feb 20 14:16:12 * Morgan nods, trying to feel for heat sources under the water Feb 20 14:18:05 *there's some fish, but nothing consistent with being able to pull a ship* Feb 20 14:18:40 No... no nothing even close to big enough Feb 20 14:20:16 Okay... so th' babe t' check, Varick t' ask if his see-through friends know anything Feb 20 14:20:35 * Morgan nods Feb 20 14:20:45 Can't expect to get Amir up at this hour though Feb 20 14:22:21 * HH shakes his head Feb 20 14:22:31 That's gon' be an issue Feb 20 14:22:41 * Morgan nods Feb 20 14:22:43 Yep Feb 20 14:22:52 We'll just have to wait this out Feb 20 14:23:58 * HH looks troubled Feb 20 14:24:00 Yeah Feb 20 14:24:22 What? Feb 20 14:24:39 * HH cracks his neck Feb 20 14:25:31 We got no control. If she wanders like this o'ernight in th' wrong direction, we'd hafta spend each day tryinna right her Feb 20 14:26:56 * Morgan nods Feb 20 14:27:14 I dunno man... this seems kind of deliberate Feb 20 14:28:38 Mebbie. But it doesn' sit easy, man Feb 20 14:28:49 * Morgan nods Feb 20 14:28:54 No... me either Feb 20 14:31:28 * HH nods Feb 20 14:31:57 Need t' think. You sure we gon' press on? Feb 20 14:32:35 Obligated to man. Could stand to lose a couple of days if you want us to turn back and get off... Feb 20 14:35:25 * HH looks extremely unhappy "I don' think I wanna, but I gotta think about it" Feb 20 14:36:37 * Morgan nods, his face neutral Feb 20 14:36:45 If thats what you need to do. Feb 20 14:37:39 If it was jus' me, it wouldn' matter, but I gotta think about the risk to Inga, man. She's gotta be my priority Feb 20 14:37:55 * Morgan nods slightly Feb 20 14:38:15 Go back to bed, be with her. Feb 20 14:40:04 You need me Feb 20 14:41:22 Always. But you're not happy and you need to think so I may as well start learning to do this... Feb 20 14:42:06 * HH hugs him hard "I'll only get a slap f' waking her. 'Sides, I'm on at four" Feb 20 14:42:33 If you're going back we need to know as soon as possible... Feb 20 14:42:44 I know, man. I know. Feb 20 14:43:27 Go on, go get a couple of hours Feb 20 14:43:48 * HH nods, going below Feb 20 14:44:08 * Morgan watches where he went before screwing up his face for a moment Feb 20 14:44:24 *he isn't interrupted* Feb 20 14:45:04 * Morgan draws a breath, moving about the deck feeling entirely useless Feb 20 14:46:12 *The Rose moves slowly but inexorably on, each minute taking them further from Jura* Feb 20 14:47:07 R: M'Lord, not much to do here now you've been replaced. You might as well go early Feb 20 14:47:29 * Morgan frowns Feb 20 14:47:39 Alright. Let me know if anything changes Feb 20 14:48:22 R: will do Feb 20 14:48:33 * Morgan nods, going below Feb 20 14:48:56 *everything is peaceful down here, the bedroom door ajar Feb 20 14:49:13 * Morgan quietly goes in Feb 20 14:50:38 * HH is now known as Molly Feb 20 14:50:44 * Molly is fast asleep Feb 20 14:51:04 * Morgan sits down in a chair, brooding Feb 20 14:51:40 *he soon starts to feel himself beginning to doze* Feb 20 14:52:19 * Morgan sighs, taking off his coat and boots before laying on the bed Feb 20 14:54:00 * Molly curls up to him, so warm Feb 20 14:54:47 * Morgan closes his eyes, still frowning Feb 20 14:57:46 *he falls into Molly's dream. He's on the deck, HH beside him. The day is mild and bright, and they're making a good pace. He must be in command because there's no sign of Sorgi, Claudia or the trainees Feb 20 14:58:02 * Morgan looks round Feb 20 14:58:49 *it's peaceful* Feb 20 14:58:53 * Molly is now known as HH Feb 20 14:59:17 Look what's o'er there, man! Feb 20 15:01:18 * Morgan looks in that direction Feb 20 15:02:38 *it's the sea* Feb 20 15:02:48 Whoa, look at the other side! Feb 20 15:02:55 * Morgan looks that way Feb 20 15:03:05 *it's also the sea, as is everything in between* Feb 20 15:03:24 Don't be a dick man Feb 20 15:03:44 * HH chuckles, patting his arm Feb 20 15:03:55 Jus' born this way Feb 20 15:04:15 *he hears from behind him* Liebes herz? I have a problem... Feb 20 15:04:21 * Morgan turns Feb 20 15:04:23 What's wrong? Feb 20 15:07:00 *Her problem involves the fact that her breasts are about twice their normal size, straining at her blouse buttons, the top part undone. Her breasts look full and clearly-veined, there are small damp marks at the front. She looks frustrated, but the regular kind and the arousal kind. She obviously does have a problem, and from the curious, admiring Feb 20 15:07:00 looks of the crew, it's becoming everyones problem. HH stares open-mouthed* Feb 20 15:07:35 * Morgan thumps his friend before taking off his coat and wrapping it round her Feb 20 15:07:39 Yes, it seems you do Feb 20 15:07:46 M: I uhh... thought as he won't take the goats milk I should umm... Feb 20 15:08:33 *The crew are lingering around* Feb 20 15:08:36 So you tried to make it so you could nurse him... Feb 20 15:09:01 *She nods, biting her lip* But now he won't, and I'm stuck like this! Feb 20 15:09:28 I see... alright... HeinzHarold, go fetch someone to take over Feb 20 15:09:41 * HH grins "Sounds like someone is gon' need some 'elp!" Feb 20 15:09:56 * Morgan turns his head slowly to look at him Feb 20 15:10:00 Did I stutter? Feb 20 15:10:34 * HH nods, going to look for someone. Molly looks out over the water, blushing Feb 20 15:10:38 * HH is now known as Molly Feb 20 15:10:56 I thought it would be fine, but it feels so odd Feb 20 15:11:27 Odd? Feb 20 15:11:46 * Molly nods "like tight and hot and urgent" Feb 20 15:11:59 That is odd Feb 20 15:12:15 * Molly nods, shifting from foot to foot Feb 20 15:12:48 Soon as someone takes over from me, we'll go and see what we can do about it... I take it you've tried to reduce it yourself? Feb 20 15:13:23 *she nods* yes, even Zareen has advised me, but nothing's working *HH sends Claudia over* Feb 20 15:13:49 Sorry Claudia, somethings come up... take over for me? Feb 20 15:14:14 *HH chuckles* Y' do mean th' command, right? Feb 20 15:14:42 * Morgan thumps him again Feb 20 15:14:51 And HeinzHarold volunteers to occupy the nest Feb 20 15:15:16 *Claudia takes over* Feb 20 15:15:54 * Morgan leads Molly back down to their cabin Feb 20 15:16:57 * Molly follows him. It's empty down there Feb 20 15:17:22 Alright, what do we need to do? Feb 20 15:18:03 * Molly looks distressed and fidgety, flustered "I don't know! I thought you might have some experience with this" Feb 20 15:18:45 * Morgan shrugs Feb 20 15:19:01 Alright, lets get a bowl... Feb 20 15:20:17 * Molly finds one, taking off his coat, no change to the magically manipulated breasts Feb 20 15:20:48 I tried tugging them, like with cows, but it just made me feel more hot and bothered Feb 20 15:20:55 * Morgan locks the door Feb 20 15:20:59 Hot and bothered, huh Feb 20 15:21:10 * Molly blushes, looking guilty Feb 20 15:21:22 None of this should feel like that, should it? Feb 20 15:21:32 Why not? Feb 20 15:21:55 Because... it's -nursing-. It's about children, not sex Feb 20 15:22:12 * Morgan shrugs Feb 20 15:22:21 well... just another thing to figure out I suppose... Feb 20 15:22:46 * Molly chews her lower lip "yes, liebes herz" Feb 20 15:23:07 Alright, lets see if we can relieve some of the pressure... Feb 20 15:23:21 * Molly nods Feb 20 15:23:27 What do I do? Feb 20 15:24:31 Show me what you did... Feb 20 15:55:01 * Molly leans over the bowl on the desk, trying to draw the milk down as would be done on a cow Feb 20 15:55:28 Ok... lets try... this... Feb 20 15:55:49 * Morgan puts his hands on her breast from behind, making the motion to encourage the milk Feb 20 15:56:34 * Molly breathes slow and controlled, staying quiet. She braces her hands on the desk Feb 20 15:57:32 * Morgan does it a few times Feb 20 15:57:36 Its alright to enjoy it love... Feb 20 15:58:04 I... don't... feel like I ought to Feb 20 15:58:29 I know but I suspect this'll be easier if you relax... Feb 20 15:58:47 * Molly nods, trying to Feb 20 15:58:54 You are... alright? Feb 20 15:58:58 * Morgan nods Feb 20 15:59:01 I'm fine Feb 20 15:59:36 Okay... *she exhales slowly, trying to relax more* go on... Feb 20 15:59:55 * Morgan nods, doing it again Feb 20 16:01:10 * Molly makes a soft mmm sound as he does. He can feel how full she is, solid in places right around. He hears a faint drip into the bowl Feb 20 16:01:41 * Morgan keeps doing it Feb 20 16:03:12 * Molly breathes deeper, murmuring "oh god, that does feel good" The drips become more frequent. She reflexively presses back to him Feb 20 16:03:47 * Morgan nods, keeping it up Feb 20 16:06:28 *she tenses suddenly with a moan she tries to contain, and suddenly multiple streams flow fast from it, hitting the bowl. He can also hear the sound of the other side dripping onto his desk. She shudders "liebes herz..." Feb 20 16:10:22 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Feb 20 16:10:24 Alright love, let it go Feb 20 16:10:33 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Feb 20 16:10:42 Alright love, let it go Feb 20 16:12:08 * MollyK moans again, writhing a little but not pulling out of his grip "it's so good" Feb 20 16:12:38 * Morgan nods, repositioning his grip and doing it again Feb 20 16:13:56 * MollyK shudders again. It's working well because the jets of milk continue, streaming downwards as he works Feb 20 16:14:14 Mmm... oh god, there's... so much... of it! Feb 20 16:15:36 maybe... don't do it again, hmm? Feb 20 16:16:33 Absolutely... *she tenses again a moment, and the milk pulses faster* not! Feb 20 16:16:46 * Morgan smiles slightly, kissing her crown Feb 20 16:16:54 Alright, shall we move to the other one? Feb 20 16:17:21 *she breathes out slowly* are you sure this is okay? Feb 20 16:18:28 * Morgan nods Feb 20 16:18:30 absolutely Feb 20 16:19:13 It's not disgusting you, you are not disappointed that it feels this way to me? Feb 20 16:20:24 You recall my... ummm... interest when you will be increasing? This sort of thing isn't exactly unusual during those times... Feb 20 16:21:02 Oh! For fun? Feb 20 16:21:30 Not purposefully, but its not something I would complain about... Feb 20 16:21:50 * MollyK nods a little Feb 20 16:22:11 Alright... that does make me feel better, thank you Feb 20 16:22:58 * Morgan nods, moving his hands to her other breast Feb 20 16:23:02 Its alright blossom Feb 20 16:23:42 * MollyK looks down, watching his hands "oh god, I've gotten it all over your desk too!" Feb 20 16:23:57 It'll clean up, don't worry Feb 20 16:24:33 * MollyK slides the bowl to the other side, taking a deep breath "okay, I'm ready. I should just relax and go with it again?" Feb 20 16:25:32 * Morgan nods, putting pressure on her breast Feb 20 16:25:35 Yes, thats right... Feb 20 16:26:58 * MollyK isn't as generally tense this time, and though the sounds she makes are not loud enough to alert the others, she's not working hard to contain the small noises of pleasure this time Feb 20 16:27:59 * Morgan keeps manipulating her breast Feb 20 16:31:15 *she shudders once more on a moan, and the milk on that side lets down too, a faint, warm, sweet smell along side the splashing sound of the flow hitting the surface in the part-filled bowl* Feb 20 16:31:58 There we go love... Feb 20 16:32:22 Mmmmhmmm that's so good Feb 20 16:32:39 * Morgan nods Feb 20 16:32:46 Thats better, huh? Feb 20 16:34:28 Oh god yes *it flows and flows, and she still just waits with her palms flat on the desk, blouse pushed back and letting him work, enjoying the feel of it* Feb 20 16:35:30 \/me continues until the stream lessens, then moves to the other breast again to get it to the same state Feb 20 16:36:16 * MollyK moans quietly as he does so, and eventually it settles to a slow trickle Feb 20 16:36:51 * Morgan eventually lets go Feb 20 16:36:58 There we go... all better... Feb 20 16:37:32 Wow... thank you my love. I'm... very impressed! *she's still breathing hard and looking flushed, but seems so much calmer now* Feb 20 16:38:05 Spent more like... Feb 20 16:38:34 * MollyK blushes "It really does feel very pleasurable" Feb 20 16:38:53 * Morgan nods Feb 20 16:38:59 And a sense of relief, right? Feb 20 16:39:30 * MollyK nods, taking off her blouse from her shoulders Feb 20 16:40:12 It's like the oddest urgent pressure, just thins overwhelming -need- for it to be released Feb 20 16:40:21 * Morgan nods Feb 20 16:41:15 * MollyK offers him the garment "do you need to clean up your hands?" Feb 20 16:41:33 * Morgan smiles slightly, licking the milk off his fingers Feb 20 16:42:10 * MollyK 's eyes go wide, her thighs clamp together, and she whimpers at it Feb 20 16:42:17 * Morgan chuckles Feb 20 16:42:23 My love! Feb 20 16:42:39 I know, I'm awful Feb 20 16:43:04 * MollyK blushes, watching him "it's not awful?" Feb 20 16:43:50 No love, of course not Feb 20 16:44:44 * MollyK shrugs "I wasn't sure" she takes the shirt to start drying her left breast first Feb 20 16:44:57 No? Feb 20 16:45:45 I know Heinzharold has joked about it, but I did not know it wouldn't be horrid Feb 20 16:46:57 No, its actually quite sweet Feb 20 16:47:13 *he notices that the milk is not moving slightly as it ought to be. She dries her nipple very gently, nodding* alright, liebling Feb 20 16:48:23 * Morgan watches the milk trying to figure out what's wrong with it Feb 20 16:49:42 *it doesn't seem to be the milk, it's the whole ship. She sighs quietly* do you feel unpleasantly about it now it's over? Feb 20 16:50:36 Hmm? No, love, no... something isn't... right... Feb 20 16:52:02 Oh. *she looks around* why have we stopped moving? Has someone dropped the anchor? Feb 20 16:52:26 Thats it... we're not moving... I don't know love, I'll need to go find out Feb 20 16:52:51 * MollyK nods, looking him over a moment Feb 20 16:52:57 Alright, my love Feb 20 16:53:26 * Morgan wipes his hands before kissing her crown and heading back toward the deck Feb 20 16:54:02 *he doesn't get very far because he hears a noise from reality, a knocking on the door* Feb 20 16:54:50 * Morgan opens his eyes, getting up and quickly going to open the door Feb 20 16:55:08 * MollyK sighs frustratedly in her sleep, turning over Feb 20 16:56:03 *the trainee captain is there* sorry to bother you, we stopped moving just after three o'clock Feb 20 16:56:23 * Morgan nods Feb 20 16:56:30 All is... normal? Feb 20 16:57:04 *he nods* just as it should be. We've gained about an hour of normal distance Feb 20 16:57:40 Weird. What times the captain due on duty? Feb 20 16:57:59 R: Another three hours Feb 20 16:59:04 Alright, I'll be there. I'll fill him in. So... she probably moved at about... a third of a normal ships pace... Feb 20 16:59:37 R: about that. Feb 20 17:00:14 * Morgan nods, trying to get an idea for the time Feb 20 17:00:41 *it's quarter after three* Feb 20 17:01:12 Alright... is the rest of my shift covered? Feb 20 17:01:51 R: yes m'lord Feb 20 17:02:19 Alright... unless I'm needed to cover you, or HeinzHarold? Feb 20 17:02:41 R: No, m'lord, I'd get some rest if I were you Feb 20 17:03:04 * Morgan nods Feb 20 17:03:14 Alright. I'll be up in time to see Sorgi Feb 20 17:03:39 *the man bids him a good night* Feb 20 17:04:35 * Morgan does likewise, going back to his bed Feb 20 17:05:23 * MollyK is still asleep Feb 20 17:05:47 * Morgan stretches out behind her, trying to settle Feb 20 17:06:29 * MollyK automatically moves to be in greater contact, even though she's sleeping Feb 20 17:06:59 * Morgan wraps an arm over her, trying to go to sleep Feb 20 17:13:06 *he manages it. He dreams it is March, '64. He is twenty, and on leave from a War he's spent four years in already, no end in sight. It's been a while since he's been in his family home, sleeping in his own bedroom, and uncommonly, for him, taking the first opportunity of proper privacy to take matters in hand for once. He'd enjoyed the feeling, Feb 20 17:13:07 but had felt mildly guilty afterwards as usual. The stars aligned so that he and Edward are both home at the same time. He's spent as much time with Verity as he could, she'd even sat there watching when they'd posed for their portrait in uniform yesterday. Today he's up early, only a few days left, and heads towards Verity's room not long before Feb 20 17:13:07 breakfast. Feb 20 17:14:45 * Morgan hums to himself as he walks Feb 20 17:16:30 *he reaches her room fine, the house just as it always was* Feb 20 17:16:35 * MollyK is now known as Verity Feb 20 17:16:55 * Verity calls to come in when he knocks Feb 20 17:19:02 * Morgan does so, moving to kiss her cheek Feb 20 17:19:06 Good morning mother Feb 20 17:20:14 * Verity kisses his back. She has a small stack of dresses that she's folding and putting on a side table Feb 20 17:20:26 Good morning, dear boy. How did you sleep? Feb 20 17:20:53 * Morgan nods Feb 20 17:21:01 Quite well, thank you. You? Feb 20 17:21:19 Well as usual. Did you see a maid on your way here? Feb 20 17:22:03 ummm... no, no I didn't Feb 20 17:23:29 That's a pity. Gabi would normally take these down to Sascha, the seamstress, for me, but she is -still- poorly Feb 20 17:23:53 Oh... thats unfortunate... uhh, perhaps I could take them for you? Feb 20 17:24:21 * Verity smiles "you wouldn't mind, dear boy? You have so little time at home..." Feb 20 17:24:32 Anything for you mother, you know that Feb 20 17:24:41 * Verity kisses his cheek again Feb 20 17:24:59 That's kind of you. Do you know where Sascha lives? Feb 20 17:25:13 * Morgan thinks Feb 20 17:25:17 I think so Feb 20 17:25:23 I'll find them, don't worry Feb 20 17:25:31 * Verity nods, smiling Feb 20 17:25:48 There are rumours that she ate the pumpernickel bread Feb 20 17:26:04 No-one from here would be that daft mother Feb 20 17:26:44 That is what I thought, but I have heard it from the housekeeper -and- her sister Feb 20 17:27:09 One is likely to gossip to the other I'd say... Feb 20 17:27:17 * Verity nods Feb 20 17:27:32 But where there's smoke, dear boy... Feb 20 17:28:34 * Morgan shrugs Feb 20 17:28:37 Time will tell then Feb 20 17:29:56 * Verity nods, handing them over "you might have time to be back for breakfast, dear boy" Feb 20 17:30:10 * Morgan nods Feb 20 17:30:13 I'll do my best mother Feb 20 17:34:42 ACTION lets him go with thanks. It should be a nice walk, the March days of late warm and pretty, and so much better than busting HH from Vaticine camps. When he gets to the hallway leading outside, there is a blonde maid scrubbing the floor. She's probably usually a kitchen maid, because he doesn't recognise her. She's pretty, but not stunningly Feb 20 17:34:43 so, when she looks up "I'm sorry, my Lord, I'm in your way" she seems a little concerned about it Feb 20 17:44:55 * Verity has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Feb 20 17:51:32 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Feb 20 17:56:43 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Feb 20 18:45:54 * MollyK has quit (Ping Timeout) Feb 20 22:33:07 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Feb 20 22:33:51 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Feb 20 22:34:53 Time will tell then Feb 20 22:34:53 * Verity nods, handing them over "you might have time to be back for breakfast, dear boy" Feb 20 22:34:53 * Morgan nods Feb 20 22:34:53 I'll do my best mother Feb 20 22:34:53 ACTION lets him go with thanks. It should be a nice walk, the March days of late warm and pretty, and so much better than busting HH from Vaticine camps. When he gets to the hallway leading outside, there is a blonde maid scrubbing the floor. She's probably usually a kitchen maid, because he doesn't recognise her. She's pretty, but not stunningly Feb 20 22:34:56 so, when she looks up "I'm sorry, my Lord, I'm in your way" she seems a little concerned about it Feb 20 22:35:25 No no, its fine... miss, errr... Feb 20 22:36:52 It's plain Inga, my Lord Feb 20 22:36:58 * MollyK is now known as Inga Feb 20 22:37:33 * Morgan smiles Feb 20 22:37:37 Nothing plain about it Feb 20 22:38:19 *the maid looks to be about sixteen or seventeen. She blushes a little* we've got a prettier Inga below stairs Feb 20 22:39:30 Find that hard to believe Feb 20 22:40:18 *She smiles, then looks around before quietly saying* My Lord, might you have a moment? Feb 20 22:40:46 Of course Feb 20 22:40:50 I was the one who washed your laundry the other morning… Feb 20 22:40:50 *the cold feeling goes through him, remembering the hope he’d had that if he’d bundled the towel he’d cleaned up with afterwards in with his other clothes they would all get chucked in the tub and no one would notice* Feb 20 22:41:51 * Morgan blushes Feb 20 22:41:58 Oh, uhhh... right... Feb 20 22:42:06 … I just wanted to say, if you need a Friendly Maid to help you with that, I’d be happy to Feb 20 22:43:11 * Morgan watches her, obviously not catching on Feb 20 22:44:16 * Inga speaks quieter Feb 20 22:44:28 I could help you, with my hand Feb 20 22:44:41 * Morgan looks surprised, blushing hard Feb 20 22:44:59 * Inga watches him quietly Feb 20 22:45:25 Right, yes, I see... Feb 20 22:46:31 * Inga smiles a little "if you want that, you can just ring the bell. Twice, then a gap, then twice again" Feb 20 22:47:09 wait... you're serious... and there's a secret ring?! Feb 20 22:47:39 * Inga looks perplexed "that's always been how being a Friendly Maid here has worked, they said" Feb 20 22:48:34 huh... can't say I've ever heard of that happening... Feb 20 22:50:01 Oh. That's just what we are to do, give a helping hand if it's wanted Feb 20 22:50:34 If you want to... right? Feb 20 22:51:01 * Inga nods "we don't have to" Feb 20 22:51:29 * Morgan nods Feb 20 22:51:39 Right, good... Feb 20 22:52:40 * Inga smiles "I should get back to the floor" Feb 20 22:53:01 Sorry, I'm holding you up... I'll ummm... I'll keep it in mind... Feb 20 22:53:26 * Inga nods "yes, my Lord" Feb 20 22:54:12 * Morgan nods, moving past her and going to run his errand Feb 20 22:54:17 *Because of the delay that hadn’t happened in reality, he hadn’t set off on foot immediately. Instead of there being no one outside, he sees Edward skimming rocks alone at the shoreline. His younger brother is just sixteen, and has been in active service for six months. He’d proudly told Verity and Adalbrecht about it, but Morgan had detected that Feb 20 22:54:18 beneath the pride and cheerfulness there was more to his time at War than he was letting on* Feb 20 22:54:58 * Morgan heads over to him Feb 20 22:55:59 Probably shouldn't be doing that... Feb 20 22:56:34 * Inga is now known as Edward Feb 20 22:56:42 What? Feb 20 22:56:59 ACTION looks quite grim, far from how he has been around their parents. They aren’t close as brothers, not like he and HH, always finding Edward a little too keen to tattle, too self-confident and boastful. Feb 20 22:56:59 * Received a CTCP from Edward (to #7thsea) Feb 20 22:57:15 Throwing the stones... Feb 20 23:00:12 It's not been a problem before. *he looks to see what Morgan is doing* Have you got a secret fetish for ladies' clothing, brother? Feb 20 23:00:54 I thought these were yours... Mother's asked me to take them to the seamstress. You... you want to join me? Feb 20 23:01:19 * Edward shrugs "I will do so" Feb 20 23:01:44 * Edward keeps hold of one stone, dropping the others Feb 20 23:02:08 Why are you doing it yourself, and not having a maid do it for you? Feb 20 23:03:08 Because mother asked... I know she doesn't like us being away so I like to leave pleasant memories for her for when I'm not here Feb 20 23:03:27 * Edward nods, walking beside him Feb 20 23:04:13 We have not both lived here for a long time, have we? Feb 20 23:05:09 * Morgan nods Feb 20 23:05:28 We've been busy being off fighting, pretending it doesn't bother us... haven't we Feb 20 23:06:34 * Edward looks like he'll try to brave face it, but then doesn't Feb 20 23:06:43 It was supposed to be more fun. Feb 20 23:07:32 War isn't supposed to be fun, otherwise it'd be playing. Feb 20 23:07:46 * Edward shrugs Feb 20 23:07:56 It's worse than I expected Feb 20 23:08:07 How so? Feb 20 23:08:36 The killing, mostly. Feb 20 23:08:54 * Morgan nods Feb 20 23:09:00 Its awful. Feb 20 23:09:09 * Edward nods Feb 20 23:10:10 It's so messy and drawn out. I thought it would be quick. Feb 20 23:10:27 * Morgan nods Feb 20 23:11:18 But it isn't. Even when its at its quickest, there's time and suffering. It eats at your soul. Feb 20 23:11:25 * Edward nods Feb 20 23:12:47 Sometimes I feel sick at the waste of it all. Thou shall not kill is in the Holy Book, both ours and theirs, and we are fighting for our religious views whilst making a mockery of that commandment. All of us. Feb 20 23:16:56 Why do you fight? Feb 20 23:17:31 Because this has to end before Eisen is broken beyond repair, and so it does not come to our home Feb 20 23:19:09 We are not fighting and killing because it is what we want... we are defending those we are responsible for. Defending their right to follow our faith. Feb 20 23:20:11 * Edward nods, straightening up a little Feb 20 23:20:34 You will forgive me, brother, many things are weighing upon me, and it makes me maudlin Feb 20 23:21:03 Let me help? You are not alone in feeling like this... Feb 20 23:21:41 *he keeps his eyes on the path ahead* My commander's wife died Feb 20 23:22:49 You were close? Feb 20 23:22:54 * Edward nods Feb 20 23:23:21 Extremely. She has been like a second mother to me these months since I enlisted Feb 20 23:23:39 I see... then I am truly sorry Feb 20 23:23:49 * Edward nods grimly Feb 20 23:24:28 It was at New Years, but I didn't hear until five weeks ago. She got sick, and they went home, but she didn't get better Feb 20 23:24:38 * Edward 's jaw is tight Feb 20 23:25:11 * Morgan nods, looking round to make sure they're not being observed Feb 20 23:25:21 *they definitely aren't* Feb 20 23:26:01 * Morgan puts his bag down, turning to his brother and pulling him into a hug Feb 20 23:26:29 * Edward is rigid a moment before hugging him back Feb 20 23:27:25 * Morgan holds him tightly for a moment before letting him go Feb 20 23:27:33 She was such a good woman. She didn't deserve it, and... and it was a long hard death. Feb 20 23:28:11 * Morgan nods Feb 20 23:28:37 You've heard all the trite things like 'she is no longer in pain' I imagine Feb 20 23:28:44 * Edward nods Feb 20 23:29:00 My friends and I have a tally for them Feb 20 23:29:22 * Morgan nods Feb 20 23:29:36 Its said by people who need to say -something- but don't know what Feb 20 23:30:02 * Edward nods Feb 20 23:30:16 It's a comfort for them, not us Feb 20 23:30:24 * Morgan nods Feb 20 23:30:32 Your friends, they all felt the same for her? Feb 20 23:30:39 * Edward nods Feb 20 23:31:16 Very much so. One of them is presently on medical leave, not for that, but it's only made his malady worse Feb 20 23:31:36 * Morgan nods Feb 20 23:31:48 Did -she- know how you all felt? Feb 20 23:31:58 * Edward smiles, nodding Feb 20 23:32:02 Absolutely Feb 20 23:33:06 -There- is your comfort. Feb 20 23:33:21 * Edward nods Feb 20 23:33:55 It has broken my commander. He's still a good commander, but it's like his heart has died Feb 20 23:34:29 * Morgan nods Feb 20 23:35:00 The ability doesn't go away, but the passion for life does I think... Feb 20 23:35:13 She was his third wife Feb 20 23:36:47 She was special, it seems Feb 20 23:36:54 * Edward nods Feb 20 23:37:15 I cannot imagine losing any wife, if I loved her, let alone three Feb 20 23:37:31 * Morgan nods Feb 20 23:37:36 Me either Feb 20 23:39:03 My friend had a mental breakdown, that is why he is on leave Feb 20 23:39:41 But not because of your loss Feb 20 23:40:30 No. He accidentally killed a civilian Feb 20 23:40:47 * Morgan winces Feb 20 23:41:09 I see Feb 20 23:41:31 It was a woman, and she was increasing. Feb 20 23:42:12 Oh... thats... god, thats awful for him Feb 20 23:43:36 * Edward nods Feb 20 23:43:52 He swears he saw the baby move within her after she was dead Feb 20 23:45:59 Have you asked a midwife if thats possible? Feb 20 23:46:56 We have tried having one speak to him. He's traumatised by it, flashbacks and nightmares. Claustrophobia too. He gets in these odd states where he feels like he is the baby, dying slowly of starvation in her cold, quiet womb. Feb 20 23:47:18 Sounds awful Feb 20 23:47:23 * Edward nods Feb 20 23:48:27 He's trying some herbal tobacco, hopefully it will settle and he will be back with us. He is an exceptional soldier. He was promoted to Lieutenant by his fourth month Feb 20 23:48:46 Impressive Feb 20 23:50:15 * Edward nods, sighing Feb 20 23:50:32 And aside from both those things, I am in love Feb 20 23:50:46 And that troubles you Feb 20 23:50:56 She is not noble Feb 20 23:51:08 Oh. Who? Feb 20 23:51:26 She's not from here. She lives in Atemlos Feb 20 23:52:02 * Edward chucks his stone hand to hand as they walk Feb 20 23:52:16 Thats a bit difficult Feb 20 23:52:30 It gets worse. She's a working girl Feb 20 23:53:00 * Morgan whistles Feb 20 23:53:05 Father would go -mental- Feb 20 23:53:23 Oh yes. I want to set her up as my mistress Feb 20 23:54:46 * Morgan clears his throat, impersonating his father Feb 20 23:54:52 Koertig men do not take mistresses Feb 20 23:55:50 This Koertig man can barely afford to take that mistress *he sighs* Feb 20 23:56:12 You been spending your allowance as soon as you get it? Feb 20 23:56:19 * Edward nods Feb 20 23:56:48 And I know you'll say "she doesn't love you, it's just for money" Feb 20 23:57:14 It is a possibility that occurred to me... Feb 20 23:57:53 * Edward shakes his head "the first three times, I paid. But not since. I tell a lie, the first two times Karsten paid" Feb 20 23:58:44 Karsten paid? Hang on... she... does that... with you but doesn't get paid... Feb 20 23:59:33 Yes and yes Feb 20 23:59:42 Why? Feb 20 23:59:49 Because she loves me
