**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Feb 28 00:00:02 2023 Feb 28 00:00:02 * MollyK nods Feb 28 00:00:34 I think it makes it feel more intense if I can make sounds Feb 28 00:00:46 It certainly seemed that way Feb 28 00:00:50 * MollyK nods Feb 28 00:01:05 I tested it whilst you were away looking for Kai Feb 28 00:01:22 Oh? Feb 28 00:02:36 I compared a night of self-pleasure in silence, as I always do it, with one where I knew everyone has been asleep several hours where I made some noise Feb 28 00:03:36 And it was more intense? Feb 28 00:03:54 * MollyK nods Feb 28 00:03:58 Yes it was Feb 28 00:04:07 I see Feb 28 00:05:12 But the hinderance of increasing the chance of being caught out isn't worth it. It's best done fully alone if you'll make noise. Have you never noticed the difference? Feb 28 00:06:16 I noticed it doesn't seem as good for you if you are quiet, unless you're quiet because I've made you so... Feb 28 00:07:03 Mmmhmmm... it's different when you make me quiet Feb 28 00:07:43 * Morgan nods Feb 28 00:08:32 You are quite quiet comparatively... though much more vocal than you first were Feb 28 00:09:27 * Morgan nods Feb 28 00:09:33 That is a difficult change for me Feb 28 00:10:14 You were always silent before? Feb 28 00:11:01 With Dietlinde? Feb 28 00:11:17 Yes, and by yourself Feb 28 00:11:39 ummm... quiet, but not silent with her... and yes, by myself I was always silent Feb 28 00:11:50 * MollyK nods Feb 28 00:12:13 You were quiet with me for a few months Feb 28 00:12:51 * Morgan nods Feb 28 00:13:09 I struggled to let go, to be that vulnerable... Feb 28 00:13:17 * MollyK nods Feb 28 00:13:32 But you enjoy it more now you are louder? Feb 28 00:14:09 Yes... but... is that because I'm louder or just because I'm more comfortable? Feb 28 00:15:01 I'd say we could experiment with that, but I'd miss it Feb 28 00:15:14 I don't understand Feb 28 00:15:28 I would miss hearing you so much Feb 28 00:15:55 Ah, I see Feb 28 00:16:13 It is highly effective upon me Feb 28 00:16:22 * Morgan nods Feb 28 00:16:27 I had noticed that Feb 28 00:16:34 * MollyK smiles Feb 28 00:16:38 Good Feb 28 00:17:57 I'm glad you know, that you see that it is welcome, not that you are expected to enjoy it but only quietly and stoically Feb 28 00:18:36 * Morgan nods Feb 28 00:19:16 I like it best when it sounds like the pleasure surprises you Feb 28 00:19:47 Oh? Feb 28 00:20:17 As if it is so much better to be intimate with me than you expect Feb 28 00:20:26 * Morgan nods Feb 28 00:21:56 You seemed to be caught by surprise at the end this morning? Feb 28 00:22:03 * Morgan nods Feb 28 00:22:05 Somewhat, aye Feb 28 00:22:13 Why so? Feb 28 00:23:25 I don't know really... though I think looking in your eyes may have been the catalyst for it Feb 28 00:23:44 * MollyK nods, smiling Feb 28 00:23:50 That's nice to hear Feb 28 00:24:43 * Morgan nods Feb 28 00:25:37 Will you still be talking to Edward about the... umm... geyser thing? Feb 28 00:25:46 I think so, yes Feb 28 00:26:56 I should see if Inga knows anything? Feb 28 00:27:12 If you want to love, but I got the feeling its not something she has experience with Feb 28 00:27:27 * MollyK sighs Feb 28 00:28:14 I suppose Edward is a good receptacle for intimate information! Feb 28 00:28:38 * Morgan nods Feb 28 00:28:47 Given that he is eighty percent girl, yes Feb 28 00:29:04 * MollyK nods Feb 28 00:29:59 He wouldn't be concerned about the neighbouring brothel rooms, he's shared those sort of rooms with some of the others before Feb 28 00:30:27 So I understand... Feb 28 00:30:44 Mina told me Feb 28 00:31:30 Think I picked it up in. Dream Feb 28 00:31:58 * MollyK has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Feb 28 00:33:11 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Feb 28 08:47:17 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Feb 28 09:21:02 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Feb 28 09:21:10 * MollyK nods Feb 28 09:22:43 Will you speak to Inga later? Feb 28 09:23:15 Umm. Maybe. I want to get some work done on the chair Feb 28 09:25:13 * MollyK nods Feb 28 09:25:34 We'll have to arrange to have it transported to Hafenlohr Feb 28 09:26:01 We'll need to unload in Freiburg anyway Feb 28 09:26:13 * Morgan nods Feb 28 09:26:32 Suddenly we have much less time for everything! Feb 28 09:27:03 * Morgan nods Feb 28 09:27:14 Aye. Feb 28 09:29:49 I will need to work intensely on my languages now Feb 28 09:30:07 * Morgan nods Feb 28 09:30:10 I suppose I should as well Feb 28 09:31:58 I suppose you could take the middle watches to get your command shifts? Feb 28 09:32:47 * Morgan nods Feb 28 09:33:01 Aye... though it'd only be fair if I did some overnight as well Feb 28 09:37:39 I suppose so Feb 28 09:40:30 We'll be at Hafenlohr far quicker Feb 28 09:41:35 Yes, we will... if we are not going to drag our feet so we don't arrive alarmingly early Feb 28 09:42:09 I would prefer not to. Perhaps it is a gentle way to ease your father into magic Feb 28 09:42:59 I'm not sure that would work.. Feb 28 09:43:50 No? Feb 28 09:44:00 You know how stubborn he is Feb 28 09:44:25 But he needs to accept it because of Florrie Feb 28 09:45:39 I know. The tactic I took with Edward will not work... nor will the tactic I normally take with my father... Feb 28 09:45:47 * MollyK nods Feb 28 09:46:04 What will happen if he's difficult with her? Feb 28 09:46:24 Then... I will take steps. Feb 28 09:46:41 * MollyK nods Feb 28 09:46:56 He cannot be permitted to upset her Feb 28 09:48:06 No. Absolutely not. Edward will have enough on his plate dealing with his feelings meeting her. Father is going to find her looks extremely difficult Feb 28 09:48:17 * MollyK nods Feb 28 09:48:28 It's never been easy, has it? Feb 28 09:49:02 No. It has not. Feb 28 09:50:13 We'll have the space to keep the interaction limited, but if either of them need space they can go down to Innesbruck Feb 28 09:51:39 * Morgan nods Feb 28 09:53:22 Will you start working with Heinzharold on plans for the cottage? Feb 28 09:55:05 Better had I suppose if we're to get it started as soon as possible Feb 28 09:56:42 We need Edward to speak to Dekker... Feb 28 09:57:07 Uhhh... because... Feb 28 09:57:18 Because the completion was supposed to be May First, but we're coming far sooner than that Feb 28 09:58:08 Oh... I had not considered that Feb 28 09:59:12 * MollyK nods Feb 28 10:00:04 I'm sure it'll not be an issue, but he might prefer to have moved out before we arrive. Diana seemed keen to stay in Wittenberg anyway Feb 28 10:00:41 * Morgan nods Feb 28 10:00:49 Best make a plan to speak to Edward then Feb 28 10:01:39 * MollyK nods "I could get up and put a note on, but I think we can manage another few minutes like this before we have to prepare to speak to your Mother..." Feb 28 10:02:42 * Morgan nods Feb 28 10:02:49 If not for speaking to mother I'd just stay here Feb 28 10:02:57 * MollyK giggles Feb 28 10:03:01 Forever? Feb 28 10:03:15 At least until I have to do something Feb 28 10:03:43 I know why it feels good for me like this, but what does this bring you? Feb 28 10:05:14 * Morgan shrugs Feb 28 10:05:40 I'm relaxed, but... I don't know, maybe its the caregiving that appeals to me Feb 28 10:05:55 * MollyK nods Feb 28 10:06:18 It's consistent with how I think you were before Tawstock? Feb 28 10:06:57 Ummm... I suppose so Feb 28 10:08:13 It's sad, how far you were forced from your natural self Feb 28 10:08:57 * Morgan shrugs Feb 28 10:09:05 It is what it is Feb 28 10:09:18 * MollyK nods sadly Feb 28 10:09:23 As with Amir Feb 28 10:10:29 * Morgan nods Feb 28 10:10:30 Yes Feb 28 10:12:06 It's hurting, things being so unsettled Feb 28 10:13:40 * Morgan nods Feb 28 10:13:46 I know love. I'd fix it if I could Feb 28 10:14:19 * MollyK nods Feb 28 10:14:37 We can only wait and think about more pleasant things Feb 28 10:15:09 * Morgan nods Feb 28 10:15:14 Yes, thats about all we can do Feb 28 10:15:42 * MollyK shifts a little, kissing his neck gently, affectionate rather than sensual Feb 28 10:17:23 By this time next year we'll know we are awaiting a baby. I'll possibly even be showing or have felt the quickening, if it's September. Feb 28 10:18:10 * Morgan nods Feb 28 10:18:13 Aye, love Feb 28 10:18:27 That's exciting, isn't it? Feb 28 10:19:47 * Morgan nods Feb 28 10:19:49 very Feb 28 10:20:27 * MollyK nods "Did Heinzharold tell you of his dream about Jarvie?" Feb 28 10:21:03 He mtnioned it, yes Feb 28 10:22:02 It wasn't as exciting as it thought it might be. They were both sad you were gone, got drunk, and had very conventional sex in her room Feb 28 10:22:34 Not sure why she'd be sad I wasn't here... she's always been incredibly independent Feb 28 10:22:54 She had been concerned about you Feb 28 10:23:57 Why? Feb 28 10:24:33 It was out of character for you to leave like that and not be in contact Feb 28 10:26:43 * Morgan nods Feb 28 10:26:45 I suppose so Feb 28 10:27:08 It's nice for you all to be back to being close Feb 28 10:27:28 * Morgan smiles, nodding Feb 28 10:27:29 It is Feb 28 10:28:19 We still won't be home before her baby comes Feb 28 10:31:24 No... that is a shame Feb 28 10:32:33 I'd feel better about attending the birth Feb 28 10:34:22 * Morgan nods Feb 28 10:34:33 We could cut the time in Capperlucia down by a week at best Feb 28 10:35:34 * MollyK nods Feb 28 10:35:52 I did wonder about staying a week rather than two Feb 28 10:36:16 Would that get us back in time, given where else we have to go? Feb 28 10:42:34 No, it's only five weeks until the baby is due. It'll be ten until we are home. But he'll still be young Feb 28 10:47:46 * Morgan nods Feb 28 10:48:27 I suspect it will be exhausting there! Feb 28 10:49:04 * Morgan nods Feb 28 10:49:09 I'm not looking forward to the heat Feb 28 10:49:48 No... I suspect I will end up wearing the clothes they wear there rather than my own Feb 28 10:50:36 * Morgan nods Feb 28 10:51:01 Heinzharold will be happy! Feb 28 10:51:31 To see you wearing so little? Feb 28 10:51:43 To see all the women in so little! Feb 28 10:52:16 Given how uneasy you were when I met Hannalore... are you going to be comfortable my being around women dressed in such a way? Feb 28 10:52:52 I've been trying not to think of it that way really! Feb 28 10:53:43 I could probably tolerate being a homebody for a couple of weeks Feb 28 10:53:52 * Disconnected () **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Feb 28 10:53:52 2023 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Feb 28 10:54:15 2023 Feb 28 10:54:15 * Now talking on #7thsea Feb 28 10:54:37 * MollyK looks up at him, smiling "no, enjoy the activities with the men and the children, my love. I trust you that I am the one woman you want" Feb 28 10:54:59 * Morgan nods Feb 28 10:55:09 I would not have you uncomfortable or doubting that Feb 28 10:56:34 Well... maybe you can remind me of that every morning and night, hmm? I'm sure you can bear a few weeks of me having you possessively! *she sounds teasing, not worried* Feb 28 10:56:50 * log has quit (Ping Timeout) Feb 28 10:57:31 * log (logger@my.server.name) has joined Feb 28 10:58:11 I could probably manage that Feb 28 10:58:28 I'd try not to leave you too scratched or bruised Feb 28 10:58:49 * Morgan shrugs, picking up his coffee Feb 28 10:59:25 Besides, the men wear even less than the women unless they're nursing Feb 28 10:59:42 I still find that... unsettling Feb 28 10:59:49 * MollyK nods Feb 28 11:00:06 I rather suspect it's something you'll get used to Feb 28 11:00:54 * Morgan shrugs Feb 28 11:00:58 Its only a couple of weeks Feb 28 11:01:09 * MollyK nods Feb 28 11:01:30 Will it trouble you that there are men in barely any clothes around me? Feb 28 11:01:43 * Morgan nods Feb 28 11:01:45 yes Feb 28 11:02:09 They have very strict rules about the treatment of women, I'm perfectly safe Feb 28 11:02:27 * Morgan nods Feb 28 11:02:47 But you worry I will be looking, and tempted? Feb 28 11:03:14 Some, yes. Feb 28 11:03:24 * MollyK shakes her head Feb 28 11:03:54 The one man I will be... what is the word... -ogling- would be you! Feb 28 11:04:21 I'll stick out like a sore thumb there Feb 28 11:04:39 Even the heat will not tempt you? Feb 28 11:04:53 Tempt me to what? Feb 28 11:05:06 Remove your clothes Feb 28 11:05:32 I don't know. Feb 28 11:06:11 Perhaps... if you were amenable... I would make you some short breeches, lightweight like Heinzharold wears to swim? Feb 28 11:07:22 * Morgan 's nose wrinkles Feb 28 11:07:24 breeches... Feb 28 11:08:08 I find them quite appealing on you... I like to see your strong calves. Feb 28 11:11:11 And for a shirt? Feb 28 11:11:41 I could take the sleeves up to the elbows... Feb 28 11:12:21 Spare them from the worst of it... Feb 28 11:12:32 * MollyK frowns deeply Feb 28 11:12:34 No. Feb 28 11:13:25 * Morgan concentrates for a moment before sipping his coffee Feb 28 11:13:56 I would do it for -your- comfort, no one else's. Feb 28 11:14:16 * Morgan nods slightly Feb 28 11:14:30 I've never been somewhere so hot... Feb 28 11:14:55 We're out of season, it should just be as hot as the hottest days in Eisen Feb 28 11:15:31 * Morgan nods Feb 28 11:15:43 Thats plenty hot Feb 28 11:16:22 Mmmhmmm you're plenty hot too, especially in my imagination *she giggles* Feb 28 11:16:58 I don't think I've ever heard you describe me as that before... Feb 28 11:17:30 I've picked the word up from Inga Feb 28 11:17:50 I was thinking that might be the case Feb 28 11:17:57 * MollyK nods Feb 28 11:18:11 I do find you very hot though. I have for a long time Feb 28 11:18:55 There's no accounting for taste Feb 28 11:19:30 * MollyK shakes her head "a good job, otherwise you wouldn't like me!" Feb 28 11:20:09 For one so smart, you talk an amazing amount of horseshit Feb 28 11:20:16 * MollyK laughs Feb 28 11:20:31 Horse-dung-, my love. Horse dung. Feb 28 11:22:22 * Morgan shrugs, sipping his coffee Feb 28 11:22:51 And me, my love? Am I hot? Feb 28 11:24:03 Oh yes Feb 28 11:24:07 Am I ball-blowingly hot? *she giggles* Feb 28 11:24:34 * Morgan snorts, laughing Feb 28 11:24:40 I think I demonstrated that last night Feb 28 11:24:51 * MollyK nods Feb 28 11:25:08 I think you did. *she prepares to get up* Feb 28 11:26:49 * Morgan sighs Feb 28 11:26:57 Alright, I suppose we'd best get things sorted Feb 28 11:27:11 *she nods and gets off his lap, moving just out of arms reach* of course, if I was making you short breeches, I'd have to take my measurements again... *her suggestive tone implies she's alluding to the day in the run up to the wedding where they talked about measuring for the wedding clothes, and she'd run her hand up his inner thigh before Feb 28 11:27:11 finally putting her hand over his covered erection and explored him, the first time she'd touched him there* Feb 28 11:27:57 * Morgan nods Feb 28 11:28:01 I reckon I could endure that Feb 28 11:29:44 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Feb 28 13:59:31 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Feb 28 14:06:06 It'd be hard? *she starts tidying up, smirking* Feb 28 14:07:14 ideally... Feb 28 14:09:07 You aren't prone to... performance anxiety, they call it? Feb 28 14:10:05 Not so far Feb 28 14:10:16 * MollyK tilts her head Feb 28 14:10:25 It's possible you would be ? Feb 28 14:11:28 I don't see why that would happen... Feb 28 14:12:26 Not in Autumn when we know it's more likely to work? Feb 28 14:13:04 The additional pressure might not be pleasant but... I'm sure we can enjoy ourselves... Feb 28 14:13:47 I have no intention of making any more effort than just going along with the sparkliness, my love Feb 28 14:14:09 * Morgan nods Feb 28 14:14:15 alright Feb 28 14:14:23 Did you? Feb 28 14:14:39 Did I what? Feb 28 14:15:07 Have an intention to start purposefully making love to me to get a child upon me? Feb 28 14:16:35 You assume I haven't been? Feb 28 14:16:48 * MollyK frowns slightly Feb 28 14:17:12 No, I assume you've been making love to me because you desire me and you enjoy it Feb 28 14:18:15 obviously Feb 28 14:19:22 I hadn't been thinking of it having that purpose. I won't be able to conceive within three months of the herbs, so I wasn't thinking of it for that purpose Feb 28 14:20:24 I know love... think of it as... an outside hope, rather than an intention. And I plan to use it as an excuse to have my way with you more Feb 28 14:21:14 *she smiles* you need to excuse. Grab me, lift my skirts, and have your way with me, whenever you please! Feb 28 14:21:20 No* Feb 28 14:22:14 Think its a bit close to two for that... Feb 28 14:22:43 *she glances at the clock* definitely, it's three minutes to two! Feb 28 14:23:06 Best get the mirror setup then Feb 28 14:23:28 * MollyK sighs dramatically Feb 28 14:23:37 I suppose I best had Feb 28 14:24:55 Maybe later then Feb 28 14:25:01 * MollyK nods Feb 28 14:25:18 I'd like that Feb 28 14:25:49 * Morgan nods, getting up and going to find the mirror Feb 28 14:27:37 * MollyK goes to fetch the mirror. When she comes back with just a minute spare she's keeping it carefully covered and angled away from her, which is good because there's nothing between the waistband of her skirt and her hair line but a very mischievous smile. Feb 28 14:28:05 Oh you'll have explaining to do if anyone turns up Feb 28 14:28:23 Oh I'm going back to the bedroom. Enjoy your chat, mon petit chou! Feb 28 14:29:55 * Morgan nods, checking the door is locked before sitting down, refilling his cup and uncovering the mirror Feb 28 14:30:09 * MollyK is now known as Verity Feb 28 14:30:25 * Verity has a cup of tea, smiling warmly Feb 28 14:30:56 Good afternoon dear boy. I wasn't such I could reach you so far away Feb 28 14:31:08 * Morgan smiles broadly Feb 28 14:31:22 mother... no, I wasn't sure, especially since we are farther than we expected to be Feb 28 14:31:52 That's wonderful. How are you all? Feb 28 14:32:34 We're ok. There's a lot going on. How are you, and father and Jarvie? Feb 28 14:33:19 Your Father is tearing his hair out. The last two batches of pumpernickel bread got burnt Feb 28 14:34:01 Oh. Oh dear. Feb 28 14:35:15 It will be well, don't fret, dear boy Feb 28 14:35:21 * Morgan nods Feb 28 14:35:56 HeinzHarolds Ma can bake very well, if you explain the situation to her, she might be able to get some made... Feb 28 14:36:28 That shouldn't be necessary but I will bear her in mind Feb 28 14:36:50 To the best of my knowledge, she's never burned anything... Feb 28 14:37:13 * Verity smiles Feb 28 14:37:56 I have been busy choosing the shadow queen and king. That will be Molly's job one day Feb 28 14:38:14 * Morgan nods slowly Feb 28 14:38:23 A long way off I would hope. Who have you chosen? Feb 28 14:39:29 Lars the Blacksmith's daughter, and Freidrich the baker's middle son Feb 28 14:40:31 * Morgan nods Feb 28 14:40:45 I can't say I know them... I'll redress that once we are back Feb 28 14:40:50 * Verity smiles Feb 28 14:41:27 They're both the right age, their families are hoping they will start to choose spouses, so this helps things along Feb 28 14:42:17 Are you picking up habits from Martha? Feb 28 14:42:56 No, this is how I've always chosen. It is easier now the boys aren't all away at War Feb 28 14:43:12 * Morgan nods Feb 28 14:43:49 Molly said you and Edward had had an idea? Feb 28 14:45:09 I am going to leave the mirror for him so he can watch the festivities for a little while tonight. He is a little homesick for the Shadowfayre Feb 28 14:46:42 * Morgan nods Feb 28 14:47:08 I don't like that he is so isolated from us... *he quirks a small smile* says that man who's never been so far from home... Feb 28 14:48:19 * Verity nods Feb 28 14:48:41 At least I know that you are safe and I can see you this time Feb 28 14:50:06 * Morgan nods Feb 28 14:50:23 I don't know if they'll work all the way there but... I hope so. Feb 28 14:50:53 As do I dear boy, I'd like to see you enjoying the sunshine on the beach Feb 28 14:51:16 * Morgan wrinkles his nose Feb 28 14:51:19 Bit warm for me Feb 28 14:51:51 I'm sure you'll have a lovely time, how exciting for you to be finding a new country Feb 28 14:52:29 Apparently... they have dragons there Feb 28 14:52:51 Do they? Will you sketch them for me? Feb 28 14:53:29 * Morgan nods Feb 28 14:53:46 Of course. Oh! I have a sketch you might like to see... Feb 28 14:54:32 Yes, do show me, dear boy Feb 28 14:54:51 * Morgan pulls the sketch Zareen drew from the drawer, holding it up for her to see Feb 28 14:55:05 My friend drew this... Feb 28 14:55:20 I love it! Oh how happy you look! Feb 28 14:56:03 Thats when I was coming back from the Empire, in command of my ship Feb 28 14:56:36 * Verity looks very proud "I'm so pleased for you" Feb 28 14:56:59 * Morgan smiles, tucking it back into the drawer Feb 28 14:58:16 Sorry, we were talking about the Shadowfayre... Feb 28 14:59:24 Would you copy that drawing for me? I'd like to have it framed and hung in here so I can see you each day Feb 28 15:02:19 * Morgan frowns momentarily Feb 28 15:02:22 I can try... Feb 28 15:03:39 * Verity smiles Feb 28 15:04:08 Thank you. Would you like to see the Shadowfayre too? Feb 28 15:04:50 * Morgan nods Feb 28 15:04:55 Yes, I think I would Feb 28 15:06:02 * Verity smiles Feb 28 15:06:17 I'll start it at seven, will you be here? Feb 28 15:06:59 * Morgan nods Feb 28 15:07:07 I think we can let Varick go to bed later for one night Feb 28 15:07:51 * Verity smiles Feb 28 15:08:03 How is he? Is he finding the travel difficult? Feb 28 15:09:35 No, he's doing very well... having Amir onboard helps... and... *he looks undecided briefly* there's been a few developments about the journey Feb 28 15:10:05 * Verity delicately sips her tea Feb 28 15:10:18 What has happened, dear one? Feb 28 15:10:39 * Morgan sips his coffee Feb 28 15:11:20 If things stay as they are... we'll be back on the Great River in about five weeks. Feb 28 15:12:17 *Avalon Feb 28 15:13:05 I'm not sure how far it is or how long it ought to take. I thought you wouldn't be there until early May? Feb 28 15:13:59 Thats correct mother. It should take us six weeks each way, and two weeks there to negotiate Feb 28 15:14:22 * Verity smiles Feb 28 15:14:31 You are making good time. How lovely Feb 28 15:15:29 No mother... good time is fourteen weeks. You know the stories of the Nieblungen, yes? Giving gifts to travellers? Feb 28 15:15:48 * Verity nods Feb 28 15:15:52 Of course Feb 28 15:17:16 This ship... was once a gift from the Nieblungen... at full speed she's coming on for twice as fast as the fasted ship I sailed in the war, which takes a couple of days off our transit time... but... I don't want to alarm you... Feb 28 15:17:37 Are you safe? And Molly, and the others? Feb 28 15:18:31 Probably safer than on any other ship I've ever been on. Feb 28 15:19:20 I shan't be alarmed then. I know you're completely competent, dear boy Feb 28 15:19:48 * Morgan smiles Feb 28 15:20:28 I was thinking... perhaps... this would be a good starter for father to get used to the idea of someone having a magical ability... since its fairly unnatural for a ship to do what this one does Feb 28 15:21:28 * Verity smiles Feb 28 15:21:53 I think that would be nice. He will understand the distances and speeds between than I Feb 28 15:22:21 * Morgan nods Feb 28 15:22:36 Something I imagine you'll understand just fine... there's dracheneisen on the ship Feb 28 15:24:03 That's interesting? Feb 28 15:44:46 * Morgan laughs Feb 28 15:45:17 Its the stuff that comes out of the mines, mother... we have a panzer hand made of it in the vault. Its very rare. Feb 28 15:45:37 * Verity smiles Feb 28 15:45:56 I know what it is, dear boy. Why is it on your ship? Feb 28 15:46:35 Its in the structure of it... its been built with dracheneisen as part of it. According to Varick, dracheneisen floats Feb 28 15:49:11 I did not know that, did you? Feb 28 15:49:50 No, I had no idea... apparently Karsten would let him play with their panzer hands... in the bath... Feb 28 15:52:41 * Verity nods "That does seem like something he would do. Do you need me to check this for you?" Feb 28 15:53:09 * Morgan shakes his head Feb 28 15:53:22 Varick has no reason to lie... I believe him. Feb 28 15:55:38 * Verity shakes her head "shall I put ours in some water to see?" Feb 28 15:56:54 No, its fine. Though imagining fathers reaction to that is quite entertaining Feb 28 15:58:05 * Verity smiles Feb 28 15:58:25 It might distract him from his current problems Feb 28 15:58:37 There are issues aside from the bread? Feb 28 16:01:36 No, he just wishes the night to go well. Confident as he is, it's the biggest night of the year, isn't it? Feb 28 16:02:18 * Morgan nods Feb 28 16:02:42 He's just our neighbour popping by for some pumpernickel bread... Feb 28 16:04:50 * Verity smiles just like she used to when he was a young, whimsical boy, two decades of time in between seeming to disappear in a simple expression Feb 28 16:04:55 Is he? Feb 28 16:06:58 * Morgan nods Feb 28 16:07:55 He just wants people to be nice to him. We have a big party but he can't come because everyone would be scared, so we give him the pumpernickel bread to say sorry you can't come to the party but we do still think about you. So then, he's not so sad Feb 28 16:09:00 * Verity looks delighted by this, just as she always would have done Feb 28 16:09:29 You were always such a wonderfully whimsical little boy Feb 28 16:09:48 * Morgan smiles, sipping his coffee Feb 28 16:09:52 I suppose so Feb 28 16:10:40 How lovely. Perhaps that -is- why it started here Feb 28 16:11:00 * Morgan shrugs Feb 28 16:11:03 Who knows Feb 28 16:14:27 * Verity smiles Feb 28 16:14:47 I'll be thinking of that this evening Feb 28 16:15:44 * Morgan nods Feb 28 16:15:56 Where will you place the mirrors? Obviously you don't want them discovered Feb 28 16:16:49 On the windowsill of one of the unused guest rooms Feb 28 16:16:58 * Morgan nods Feb 28 16:17:02 Good idea Feb 28 16:19:46 It's nice that you'll be able to see it. I'll try to get Jarvie in the right spot so you can see how big she is Feb 28 16:20:05 * Morgan nods Feb 28 16:20:14 That'll be nice. I miss her more than I expected Feb 28 16:20:48 * Verity smiles Feb 28 16:20:53 She is quite bored Feb 28 16:21:02 * Morgan nods Feb 28 16:21:14 I imagine father is quite strict about her activities too Feb 28 16:21:20 * Verity nods Feb 28 16:22:32 I think she would have dug up most of the gardens by now, but we don't like to to do heavy lifting or intense exercise. Sometimes in the morning he looks from our window and watches her morning walk to ensure it's no faster than moderate pace Feb 28 16:23:04 I don't see that going down particularly well with Molly Feb 28 16:23:48 Oh dear boy, you will ensure that she is very careful when she's increasing, won't you? Feb 28 16:24:18 Of course I will mother Feb 28 16:27:14 * Verity smiles Feb 28 16:28:38 I've made a few things just for your baby, but mostly I am making for Jarvinia's. It should be the first week of March **It's so close to Jana's birthday on the fourth** Feb 28 16:29:10 * Morgan nods Feb 28 16:29:16 Knowing my luck, it'll be the fourth Feb 28 16:31:46 Will you be alright if it is? Feb 28 16:32:58 I'll manage... realistically I don't imagine we'll have much time with them anyway Feb 28 16:34:02 It'd be nice if you were back for the christening in late April or early May Feb 28 16:34:35 * Morgan nods Feb 28 16:35:36 I'll talk with the captain, see what our projected return is likely to be... but that assumes we continue making the time we are at the moment Feb 28 16:35:58 * Verity nods Feb 28 16:36:37 *he hears Varick coming out, the cat hightailing it into the room manically* Feb 28 16:37:01 Oh, hear comes Varick and the cat Feb 28 16:37:34 Oh good. Would you like to see if I can get Sascha stood there too? She's as big as Jarvinia already Feb 28 16:39:55 Already? Feb 28 16:40:27 * Verity nods Feb 28 16:40:55 Jarvinia is tall so it's more concealed, and Sascha is having twins Feb 28 16:42:00 How are they taking that? Feb 28 16:43:39 They're very happy Feb 28 16:43:47 * Morgan nods Feb 28 16:43:50 Good, I'm glad Feb 28 16:44:23 You recall Colonel Fuchs and his wife? Feb 28 16:44:54 * Verity smiles Feb 28 16:45:07 I do, what a lovely couple they are Feb 28 16:45:21 * Morgan nods Feb 28 16:45:29 They are intending to call their child Morgan, if its a boy Feb 28 16:46:32 That's lovely, don't you think, dear boy? Feb 28 16:47:25 I think it unnecessary *despite his words, he does look rather proud* Feb 28 16:49:23 * Verity smiles Feb 28 16:49:54 I loved that name even from being a little girl. It is nice to think that someone else will like it too Feb 28 16:51:23 * Morgan nods Feb 28 16:53:02 What will they call a girl? Feb 28 16:53:38 I don't know actually... Molly might know, I'll ask her later Feb 28 16:54:11 Have you and Molly discussed any names? Feb 28 16:54:59 A few, yes... Feb 28 16:56:31 We're still discussing whether or not we'd use the Eisen version of Constance and William or the Avalonian... Feb 28 16:56:45 *Varick comes to sit with Morgan* Feb 28 16:56:53 * Verity looks surprised Feb 28 16:56:58 Like my parents? Feb 28 16:57:05 * Morgan nods Feb 28 16:57:08 exactly Feb 28 16:58:04 * Verity smiles warmly "that would be nice, dear boy, but you mustn't feel obligated." Feb 28 16:58:33 * Morgan nods, hugging Varick to him Feb 28 16:58:39 We do like the names mother Feb 28 16:59:02 I liked Violet and Lorelei. Your Father liked Brumhilde Feb 28 16:59:21 * Morgan nods Feb 28 16:59:28 I'm leaving Brumhilde for Edward Feb 28 16:59:37 *Varick giggles* That's like *he says in Avalonian* Broom Handle! Feb 28 17:00:12 * Verity smiles at Varick "It is, isn't it? That was one reason I didn't like it either" Feb 28 17:01:24 *Molly comes out of the bedroom, completely tidy, fichu in place to cover the lingering marks from his mouth downstairs in the brothels* Feb 28 17:02:41 Ah, blossom... do you know what Stef and Colonel Fuchs are calling their child if its a girl? Feb 28 17:03:06 *Molly comes to sit with them* I do. It's Morgana Feb 28 17:03:28 * Morgan looks at his mother Feb 28 17:03:35 well... that answers that then. Feb 28 17:04:11 * Verity smiles "Oh, that's a beautiful name. What a shame you can't use it if they do!" Feb 28 17:06:06 * Morgan shrugs Feb 28 17:06:22 I'm sure we'll manage... we've got a wealth of names to choose from Feb 28 17:07:31 M: *she nods in agreement* a list of suggestions would be most welcome to see if anything speaks to us though Feb 28 17:08:05 * Verity looks pleased by this "I'd love to do so, it would be nice to help" Feb 28 17:08:27 No broom handles though Feb 28 17:08:39 *the others laugh* Feb 28 17:09:03 I must see how the bread is going. I will see you all at seven? Feb 28 17:09:57 * Morgan nods Feb 28 17:09:59 Yes mother Feb 28 17:10:38 *goodbyes are said just before HH and Inga knock on the door* Feb 28 17:11:21 * Morgan gets up to unlock the door Feb 28 17:14:09 * Verity is now known as Inga Feb 28 17:14:18 * Inga and HH look cheerful Feb 28 17:15:06 HH: Figured I'd drop Inga off an' we'd go an' train a bit Feb 28 17:15:10 * Morgan raises an eyebrow Feb 28 17:15:19 Aye, alright man Feb 28 17:15:59 *HH kisses Inga's cheek. She goes straight over to the couch, then beckons Molly for gossip* Feb 28 17:16:08 * Inga is now known as HH Feb 28 17:16:37 And just like that, I'm surplus to requirements. Varick... are you coming with us? Feb 28 17:17:05 V: Will Amir be there? Feb 28 17:18:09 I don't know... we're going to train, perhaps you'd like to practice with us? Feb 28 17:19:07 $was trying to get you time to work your wood$ Feb 28 17:20:00 Perhaps HeinzHarold can teach you some things... Feb 28 17:20:16 $Stay out of the hold til I've moved it please$ Feb 28 17:21:20 V: okay Papa Feb 28 17:21:28 $okay man$ Feb 28 17:22:27 Good lad... Blossom, once you're done talking about whatever you're talking about... perhaps you'd tell Inga about mothers plan for this evening? Feb 28 17:23:22 M: mmhmm, we'll come to it Feb 28 17:23:39 Uh huh. See you ladies later Feb 28 17:25:12 * HH leads along, boy and cat with them. Betuana, Xsarlac And Amir are in the ballroom. The baby makes excited sounds, immediately trying to crawl to them Feb 28 17:27:01 $I'll see you in a while man$ Feb 28 17:28:13 * HH nods. Varick is immediately on the floor with the baby. As soon as the door starts to close behind Morgan, Amir starts crying Feb 28 17:28:47 * Morgan frowns, hesitating Feb 28 17:29:35 * HH must pick him up because he says "hey kid, you're alright" Feb 28 17:30:04 * Morgan slumps a little, moving quickly down to the hold to work on the chair Feb 28 17:35:47 *he gets quite a bit of peace and quiet down there for a few hours, just with the noises of the animals* Feb 28 17:37:09 *it's about five when she says [my love, I might have Amir for a few hours, probably until after dinner. Is that alright?] Feb 28 17:38:01 * Morgan moves it to one of the passenger cabins before putting it together, looking it over carefully Feb 28 17:41:57 [thats fine blossom. Could you arrange for Betuana and Xsarlac to be moved to one of the bigger cabins] Feb 28 17:42:34 [I'll set Heinzharold to it, rather than him sprawling around in here!] Feb 28 17:43:06 [Do I want to know?] Feb 28 17:43:18 [know what, my love?] Feb 28 17:43:39 * Morgan sets about applying the first coat of varnish, having satisfied himself with the construction Feb 28 17:43:45 [why he's sprawling about] Feb 28 17:44:17 [post-orgasm laziness, I suspect] Feb 28 17:44:29 [figures] Feb 28 17:44:49 [are you feeling like the odd one out, my love?] Feb 28 17:44:59 [Only since I was five] Feb 28 17:45:16 [uhhh... I... what?] Feb 28 17:45:31 [Doesn't matter love] Feb 28 17:45:47 [I was talking about being fully sated] Feb 28 17:46:12 [I suspected as much. Are HeinzHarold and Inga joining us to watch the Shadowfayre? Feb 28 17:46:30 [yes, he's feeling a little homesick] Feb 28 17:47:48 * Morgan nods to himself Feb 28 17:47:56 [Edward is too apparently] Feb 28 17:51:13 [wha-... oh dear. I need to deal with this a minute] Feb 28 17:55:09 [Is everything ok?] Feb 28 17:56:18 [just a nappy cloth, my love] Feb 28 17:59:00 * Morgan nods, carrying on Feb 28 17:59:47 *he's pretty much finished when she says* [heinzharold is looking for you] Feb 28 18:00:28 [I'll meet him outside his room] Feb 28 18:01:08 * HH is there waiting when he gets there Feb 28 18:01:26 I forgot 'ow bad nappy cloths stink, man! Feb 28 18:04:19 Best get used to that... and getting pee'd on Feb 28 18:06:42 Yer lucky. Molly can *he wiggles his fingers* an' y' won't smell it Feb 28 18:07:15 Not if I have any say in it Feb 28 18:07:30 Prefer the smell o' baby crap? Feb 28 18:08:28 * Morgan draws his falchion, laying it across his hands Feb 28 18:08:32 You know why this is special? Feb 28 18:09:05 B'cause I made it Feb 28 18:10:55 partly... partly because of the time you invested into it, the heat you endured, the sparks singeing your hair, the physical exertion you had to put into it. Its special not just because of what it is or who its from but because of the things you experienced to do it. Feb 28 18:11:54 Okaaaay, go on Feb 28 18:12:26 This chair I'm making... does it mean more than me just... buying one? Feb 28 18:12:50 Well yeah, course it does Feb 28 18:13:33 Why? Feb 28 18:14:59 Because you put in a lotta time an' effort for us Feb 28 18:15:13 * Morgan sheathes his sword Feb 28 18:16:47 The nappy cloths, the getting pee'd on, the vomit... thats all part of the journey, the experience of being a father. It may not be an enjoyable part, but neither is war. Neither is being side by side with you and Claudia, fighting off glowing eyed monsters on the island, but I would not change having experienced it. You get me? Feb 28 18:17:27 Yeah, okay, I getcha Feb 28 18:17:55 * Morgan stares into the distance Feb 28 18:18:42 Sometimes, and I pray no-one else experiences it but... sometimes, there's so few memories that even getting pissed on is one worth clinging to Feb 28 18:19:26 Shit... man, I'm sorry *he hugs Morgan hard* Feb 28 18:19:53 * Morgan nods, hugging him back and burying his face against his friends shoulder Feb 28 18:20:01 I know man, not your fault Feb 28 18:20:28 * HH puts a hand on the back of his neck like his Da used to Feb 28 18:20:47 I'll be more grateful, okay? Feb 28 18:23:11 I wasn't trying to make you feel bad Feb 28 18:24:40 * HH has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Feb 28 18:29:56 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Feb 28 18:30:07 I know, man Feb 28 18:30:15 * MollyK is now known as HH Feb 28 18:33:12 * Morgan backs up a little Feb 28 18:33:15 Was not expecting that Feb 28 18:34:48 Sneaks up on ya Feb 28 18:35:11 Think... think it was the explaining Feb 28 18:35:22 Why? Feb 28 18:36:03 Hadn't really had to think about it so much Feb 28 18:36:20 * HH nods Feb 28 18:36:36 Wanna go get some air? Feb 28 18:36:52 * Morgan nods Feb 28 18:36:54 yeah Feb 28 18:37:44 * HH goes upstairs with him. It's getting dark and the ship is being slowed Feb 28 18:38:33 well... there's a pointless activity... Feb 28 18:39:16 Won't sail herself til midnight Feb 28 18:39:31 No, I know Feb 28 18:40:09 Can't just keep goin' Feb 28 18:40:31 * Morgan shrugs Feb 28 18:40:37 I suppose not Feb 28 18:40:58 Not got enough bodies Feb 28 18:41:31 Aye. Need to see what plan Sorgi can come up with Feb 28 18:45:17 Gon' be tight making middle a proper watch Feb 28 18:45:29 * Morgan nods Feb 28 18:45:47 Yeah... reckon I'll have to take a lot of them on Feb 28 18:46:26 I'll help, y' know that Feb 28 18:46:37 * Morgan nods Feb 28 18:46:42 Course I do Feb 28 18:46:53 Hey... was yo... was Da any good with woodwork? Feb 28 18:47:05 * HH nods Feb 28 18:47:40 Yep. Carpentry an' blacksmithry is two cheeks o' the same arse Feb 28 18:48:07 * Morgan nods Feb 28 18:48:29 Jus' wondered if he made your cribs or Ma's furniture Feb 28 18:48:45 * HH nods Feb 28 18:48:49 Yep Feb 28 18:50:15 so... you coulda made your own nursing chair Feb 28 18:50:27 Mebbie Feb 28 18:50:47 Shoulda said... wouldn't have overstepped if I'd realised Feb 28 18:51:15 Don' be ridiculous. Means more tha' -you- made it Feb 28 18:53:21 * Morgan nods, dropping his shoulders Feb 28 18:53:31 Ok. Needs another coat... but its done. Feb 28 18:53:47 Tha' was fuckin' quick! Feb 28 18:53:55 * Morgan shrugs Feb 28 18:54:41 Tha' is pretty much what she said though Feb 28 18:55:01 * Morgan bursts out laughing suddenly before clamping his hand over his mouth Feb 28 18:55:09 Well, that was fucking dignified Feb 28 18:55:13 * HH laughs Feb 28 18:55:48 Yep Feb 28 18:58:34 'Bout as dignified as a shy nobleman stammering af'er a hospitality hand job "so, ummm... do... do we cudd-... cuddle now, or d-do you go back to... uhh... your work?" Feb 28 18:58:57 Shy lord HeinzHarold huh? Feb 28 18:59:37 Yep. Ah man, tha' kid really needs t' up 'is stamina Feb 28 19:00:24 * Morgan nods Feb 28 19:01:40 Coulda done with a maid who hadn' practiced so long onna cucumber Feb 28 19:02:39 Ah... skilful I assume... Feb 28 19:02:57 * HH grins Feb 28 19:03:25 Yeah, but it don' take much effort th' first time tha's done for ya any'ow! Feb 28 19:03:50 * Morgan nods Feb 28 19:03:53 aye Feb 28 19:05:11 See, what's gotten in my brain... if y'd taken 'er up on it, would itta been like she'da done it then, or like real, or like Molly or Dietlinde b'cause that's what yer brain knows Feb 28 19:06:23 You realise the error you're making in your thinking, right? Feb 28 19:06:32 Wassat? Feb 28 19:07:21 You're thinking of it just like a dream... but its not. Its not my mind making it up. Feb 28 19:08:51 True, true. So mos' likely what she woulda been like b'fore me an' before Heinrich, 'ssuming she hadn' be providing th' ol' rubby rub to guests Feb 28 19:09:09 Indeed. Feb 28 19:10:50 Odd as shit, ain't it? Y' do it first time with Molly a lot when it' not 'er first time? Feb 28 19:12:34 A couple, aye Feb 28 19:12:47 That weird? Feb 28 19:13:02 Only in hindsight and only if I think about it Feb 28 19:13:11 * HH chuckles Feb 28 19:13:23 Which means thinkin' o' her with other guys? Feb 28 19:14:20 Seeing it in some cases Feb 28 19:14:43 Who'd ya see 'er with? Feb 28 19:15:30 Wasn't a path, was just a a dream... and just some fop Feb 28 19:15:52 Huh. You okay 'bout it? Feb 28 19:16:24 Just a dream man Feb 28 19:17:24 * HH nods Feb 28 19:17:45 This th' dream y' were gonna tell Inga about? Feb 28 19:18:44 She told you about that? Feb 28 19:18:50 Yep Feb 28 19:19:21 * Morgan nods Feb 28 19:19:24 Rather I don't? Feb 28 19:19:46 Nah man, I told yer wife about gettin' it on with Jarvie Feb 28 19:19:58 * Morgan nods Feb 28 19:20:01 She was telling me Feb 28 19:20:50 Don' think it was all tha' interestin' Feb 28 19:21:12 * Morgan shrugs Feb 28 19:21:27 Never underestimate the interest of gossip for women Feb 28 19:22:08 * HH nods Feb 28 19:22:30 Guess so. Yers gon' interest them more? Feb 28 19:23:02 Possibly. Molly rather enjoyed it. I'm a little anxious about telling Inga though Feb 28 19:23:19 Why? Feb 28 19:24:00 Big step for me, isn't it... I'm barely that open with you and I've known you my whole life Feb 28 19:24:08 * HH nods Feb 28 19:24:37 Y' always can be, man. Y' know I won' judge. Might tease y' a bit, but not judge Feb 28 19:25:51 * Morgan nods Feb 28 19:25:58 I know. Feb 28 19:27:10 Inga will be kind, don' worry Feb 28 19:29:45 I know she will... even so... Feb 28 19:34:28 Don't if y' don't want to, man. She won' mind Feb 28 19:35:58 I want that... that -connection-. Feb 28 19:36:10 * HH nods Feb 28 19:36:19 Unnerstandable Feb 28 19:38:35 * Morgan nods Feb 28 19:39:53 I can spare her t'night Feb 28 19:40:45 * Morgan nods Feb 28 19:40:57 Come on, I want to see Varick and Amir Feb 28 19:41:11 * HH follows along Feb 28 19:41:32 Wasn' expectin' y'd be babysittin' Feb 28 19:42:06 No... especially since... I told Betuana I thought Amir would be better with us... Feb 28 19:43:17 Went down like a sheltered newlywed? Feb 28 19:44:29 They value honesty. The concerns I had she said were possible. She's thinking it over... I haven't told Molly yet. Feb 28 19:46:37 Interessin' choice. Why not? Feb 28 19:47:37 Don't want her getting her hopes up or worrying about the negotiations being affected Feb 28 19:48:03 * HH nods Feb 28 19:49:47 'Specially when the sharks are circling the good ship Molly ForresterRosekrantzKoertig Feb 28 19:50:40 I tell you she took part of the doorframe to my fathers study off at one point? By slamming the bloody door! Feb 28 19:51:48 Yep. Shaving the Crimson Lamb, was she? Feb 28 19:52:08 * Morgan stops, looking at him Feb 28 19:52:10 Stop that Feb 28 19:52:28 What? Feb 28 19:52:50 All the euphemisms man Feb 28 19:53:13 I'm testin' 'em on you t' see which t' tell Inga Feb 28 19:54:20 Oh... all of them. Feb 28 19:55:11 Always cracks me up t' see 'er face Feb 28 19:56:12 Preferable to facing you up to see her... no.. no. Feb 28 19:58:43 * HH laughs raucously Feb 28 19:59:03 * Morgan starts moving again Feb 28 19:59:06 'Er no-no... that's what you pair call it, do ya? Feb 28 19:59:53 * Morgan shakes his head Feb 28 19:59:57 We do not Feb 28 20:00:01 * HH grins "In my room, it's more like 'er yes-yes" Feb 28 20:00:24 She takes pity on you graciously then? Feb 28 20:00:33 * HH nods Feb 28 20:00:42 She's like a fuckin' angel, man Feb 28 20:01:35 And its like fu... christ, Morgan, pack it in. Feb 28 20:02:33 * HH laughs so hard he has to put a hand to the wall Feb 28 20:03:09 Yer wife spend quiet hour windin' yer cogs then walked off or summit?! Feb 28 20:03:36 No, actually. I spent some time telling her about my dream and... no, nevermind... Feb 28 20:04:00 * HH chuckles Feb 28 20:04:15 Y' made quiet hour noisy hour? Feb 28 20:04:28 No no, she was quiet. -fuck-. Feb 28 20:04:36 * HH laughs Feb 28 20:04:43 Ah man, yer killin' me! Feb 28 20:05:20 Need to pack that in before I speak to your wife, don't want her getting offended. Or passing out laughing. Feb 28 20:06:22 She's pretty 'ard to offend Feb 28 20:06:45 * Morgan nods, closing his eyes for a moment Feb 28 20:06:47 Good Feb 28 20:09:50 *they get to the study. Inga and Varick are eating at the table, Molly is semi reclined on the couch, using the little wooden cup to feed the baby cradled across her. He has a hand on her fichu, holding on as if he were nursing Feb 28 20:10:30 $Ah fuck$ Feb 28 20:11:25 $whats up?$ Feb 28 20:11:53 $Just a graphic illustration of what I want badly$ Feb 28 20:12:33 * HH looks round $beautiful, man$ Feb 28 20:12:40 * Morgan nods slightly Feb 28 20:13:10 *Molly smiles at him* did you want a turn, my love? Feb 28 20:13:23 * Morgan nods Feb 28 20:13:25 I think so Feb 28 20:15:42 *she gently removes the cup, and Amir grizzles* M: lammchen... it's alright... shhh shhh... *she gently pats his bottom* Feb 28 20:16:22 * Morgan comes over, taking the child and reclining him before taking the cup Feb 28 20:16:32 Well... hello little man Feb 28 20:17:38 *Amir smiles sleepily. The cup is warm. Molly gently kisses Morgan's cheek before going to the table* Feb 28 20:17:58 * Morgan settles down, slowly feeding the boy Feb 28 20:19:15 *The others chatter amongst themselves. It's several minutes later that he feels eyes on him* Feb 28 20:20:42 * Morgan glances up Feb 28 20:22:31 *he can see the girls trying to be subtly in watching him, and lip read when Molly says "What is it about seeing them with babies?!" Inga nods "I know, whenever I see Heinzharold looks after babies I just want to tear his clothes off!" Feb 28 20:23:49 * Morgan smiles slightly, going back to feeding Amir, talking low and quietly to him Feb 28 20:25:19 *Amir has almost emptied the cup when he falls a sleep, grey eyes closed, kohl-dark lashes so long* Feb 28 20:27:37 * Morgan puts the cup aside, gently rocking him, watching him for a couple of minutes before looking round Feb 28 20:28:33 *the others have gone to do other things, leaving him alone Feb 28 20:29:15 * Morgan shifts on the couch, reclining somewhat Feb 28 20:30:42 *it's quite hard not to drift off, Amir warm and solid on his chest* Feb 28 20:32:31 * Morgan doesn't fight it, for a change Feb 28 20:33:45 *he doesn't dream. He's vaguely aware a little while later of Molly gently stroking his arm* it's time for the Shadowfayre, my love Feb 28 20:33:59 * Morgan nods, opening his eyes Feb 28 20:34:02 Alright love Feb 28 20:34:16 Should I get the wrapping cloth? Feb 28 20:34:21 * HH is now known as Molly Feb 28 20:35:22 uhhh... yeah... yes why not Feb 28 20:36:25 Or we can put him on the bed... might that be easier, given his age? Feb 28 20:37:09 * Morgan nods Feb 28 20:37:12 Probably, yes Feb 28 20:37:42 * Molly gently takes him, the warmth and pressure suddenly gone Feb 28 20:38:02 * Morgan sighs, getting up Feb 28 20:38:20 HH: reck'n we need to extinguish our candles Feb 28 20:38:31 * Morgan nods Feb 28 20:38:45 Don't want them being spotted by anyone happening to look at my fathers house Feb 28 20:39:03 HH: scare the sh-... dung outta them Feb 28 20:39:21 * Morgan nods Feb 28 20:39:23 exactly Feb 28 20:42:03 *the mirror is on a little table pulled up to the couch. They'll need to squeeze together to all see, so HH sits by Morgan, Inga at his feet. Varick sits next to her, and them Molly sits in front of Morgan when she's extinguished the other candles. She blows out the final one, and Inga lifts off the cloth Feb 28 20:42:36 * Molly presses the balm gently to his palm in the dark Feb 28 20:43:56 * Morgan takes it, rubbing some under his nose as he chuckles Feb 28 20:44:08 *Verity has already set it up, the view of the clearing. They can see the clearing and the bonfire. The platform Molly, Inga, and Jarvie built before the wedding is ready again* Feb 28 20:44:19 [what's funny, my love?] Feb 28 20:45:13 [Could've put those candles out just as easily myself] Feb 28 20:45:32 I: That was so much fun to build! We wore trousers! *they had. He'd not seen Molly in that much detail since the day of the pool* Feb 28 20:45:41 HH: damn, I missed it. Feb 28 20:46:29 * Morgan sniggers Feb 28 20:48:22 *There are people in the clearing, they can faintly hear the crackle, the revelry and cheerful talk, friends and neighbours together. He can see Verity greeting guests with Adalbrecht. They look well, and she's likely purposefully positioned them here. HH points out people from the village, Inga points out some of the off duty staff. Molly points Feb 28 20:48:22 out Felicity, but doesn't mention her being Edward's Friendly Maid* Feb 28 20:49:26 Apparently Jarvie and Sascha are the same size... Feb 28 20:50:23 V: I can't see them yet Feb 28 20:50:37 No, me either Feb 28 20:50:57 *it's getting busier with every minute, much like their polterabend* Feb 28 20:51:37 HH: E'eryone wrappin' up warm... always bloody cold f' th' Shadowfayre Feb 28 20:51:59 * Morgan nods Feb 28 20:52:08 Aye, I remember Feb 28 20:55:03 *The only thing on that first one of their marriage, three days after it, that was warm had been Dietlinde's hand in his, defiant and unintimidated by the reactions they were expecting. But most of the villagers had congratulated them. The iciest thing there had been Adalbrecht's curt "Good evening" when they'd first gone to the clearing* Feb 28 20:56:25 * Morgan starts frowning, looking away from the mirror for a moment Feb 28 20:57:01 HH: There's my Ma. Looks like she's come with Grunhelm?! Feb 28 20:58:00 * Morgan looks back Feb 28 20:58:10 Huh... Feb 28 20:58:40 *it's quite comical as he is about six feet seven and she is short enough for Claudia to fancy her* Feb 28 20:59:03 HH: Both on their own, makes sense for 'em to go to it together Feb 28 20:59:27 I'd -almost- forgotten he's massive Feb 28 20:59:35 *the light is low, but he still sees Molly and Inga exchange a little glance* Feb 28 20:59:51 HH: scary even from 'ere! Feb 28 21:00:22 I don't think he's scary, you just have to know how to charm him! Feb 28 21:00:46 *HH looks at Morgan* She sayin' we ain't charmin' enough? Feb 28 21:00:59 Sounded remarkably like it Feb 28 21:03:29 *the next ten minutes seems to culminate in what looks to be all of Sudlachenburg there. Otto is hard to pick out because he'd gotten used to his first father in law looking old before his time. This Otto is a man who walks tall and looks healthy. Five foot two Sascha looks like she's not stopped eating since they saw her in early December. Feb 28 21:03:59 HH: Whoa! She's still got like three or four months to go?! Feb 28 21:04:14 Twins, man. -or- she's eaten the Schattenmann Feb 28 21:04:44 HH: Eaten about an 'undred pumpernickel breads! Feb 28 21:05:07 COuld've bought enough wood for a ship with that Feb 28 21:05:15 HH: eh? Feb 28 21:05:27 Long story. Tell you later. Feb 28 21:06:00 HH: She is massive though. Yer not gonna get that big, are ya, lil darlin? Feb 28 21:06:20 [thats what she said] Feb 28 21:06:34 Inga is deadpan when she says: I haven't decided yet. Feb 28 21:07:02 * Molly giggles [unlike you!] Feb 28 21:07:15 * Morgan blushes Feb 28 21:07:24 You -could- get that big... should still fit... Feb 28 21:07:36 I: fit what? Feb 28 21:08:07 Hmm? No, nevermind, just thinking out loud Feb 28 21:08:33 *HH whispers something in her ear, making her giggle* Feb 28 21:08:45 V: Mama, will you get that big? Feb 28 21:09:17 I would imagine so, I'm not very tall... Feb 28 21:10:00 V: If you have twins you'll be ginormous! Feb 28 21:10:14 *HH and Inga laugh* Feb 28 21:10:35 HH: gon' be bigger around than she is high! Feb 28 21:11:17 * Morgan nods Feb 28 21:11:26 Gonn' make it awkward walking through doorways Feb 28 21:11:33 * Molly rests her cheek to his knee Feb 28 21:11:57 HH: Better start widenin' the doors at Hafenlohr then Feb 28 21:12:50 V: There's Auntie Jarvie and Uncle Grendlik! Feb 28 21:15:47 *The attention of the crowd has moved to Adalbrecht and the Shadow King and Queen on the podium. Jarvie and Grendlik are at the back, nearer the mirror. They talking closely, he's rubbing her bump. She is about the same size as Sascha despite being two months further along. Molly sighs a little* Feb 28 21:16:15 * Morgan puts a hand on Molly's shoulder, squeezing gently Feb 28 21:16:47 * Molly leans her cheek to it [maybe next year] Feb 28 21:17:48 [should be] Feb 28 21:18:15 [unless it's November, then I won't have a bump yet] Feb 28 21:18:51 But you will still be with child Feb 28 21:20:52 *Dietlinde had had a sizeable bump in sixty-six. They'd almost missed the crowning of the Shadow King and Queen because he's caught sight of the way her dress had clung to her belly and they'd had to go back in doors so he was not so arduous as to be unable to keep his hands off her stomach at the party* Feb 28 21:21:05 [that's true, I will] Feb 28 21:23:14 *HH is busy explaining how he's distantly related to the shadow queen. It's very long winded. David and Martha come to stand with Jarvie, and Grendlik keeps his hands to himself* Feb 28 21:23:55 * Morgan glances toward HeinzHarold Feb 28 21:24:15 Thats... a lot of steps man... Feb 28 21:24:25 HH looks at him: yeah Feb 28 21:25:24 *Adalbrecht goes through the regular speech of the Shadowfayre as his ancestors had* Feb 28 21:25:35 V: That will be you one day, Papa! Feb 28 21:29:04 Aye, it will... one day Feb 28 21:29:32 [then our son...] Feb 28 21:30:14 [yes] Feb 28 21:36:25 *Adalbrecht then pronounces the beginning of the feast and dancing, and music starts up, particular pieces always heard at the Shadowfayre. Some dance, some laugh and drink, it all looks just as it always has from the lonely days before HH, to the times he was allowed to stay the extra weeks at home during term time for it but always coloured by Feb 28 21:36:25 the prospect of having to leave. The final one watching Ma and Da dance together in fifty seven, six months before he died. The following year where she no longer danced but sat on the benches with the other widows. Then he'd missed several at war, including sixty one where it was Heinzharold and Dietlinde as the ceremonial monarchs, not there Feb 28 21:36:25 until she was on his own arm in sixty five, pregnant in sixty six, and nursing in the bonfire light in sixty seven, when he had no clue that another four years would pass before he saw Shadowfayre again Feb 28 21:37:21 HH: I fuckin' miss home right now. Feb 28 21:37:41 * Morgan nods, silently wiping at the tears streaming down his face Feb 28 21:38:56 *he strokes Inga's hair, the movement catching his peripheral vision. He just silently puts his arm along the back of the couch, squeezing Morgan's shoulder in solidarity* Feb 28 21:40:53 * Morgan shudders a little before drawing a deep, slow breath Feb 28 21:41:15 *Amir starts to grizzle in the other room, Molly gets up carefully* Feb 28 21:41:35 I'll be back soon Feb 28 21:42:05 * Morgan clears his throat Feb 28 21:42:08 Alright love Feb 28 21:42:27 [unless you need to go?] Feb 28 21:42:48 [Aye. I'll get him] Feb 28 21:43:30 * Molly doesn't make an excuse, just staying out of the way so he can easily pass Feb 28 21:44:02 * Morgan gets up, going into the bedroom and going to Amir Feb 28 21:44:10 [do you need me?] Feb 28 21:44:24 [I'm alright love. I'll be back in a minute] Feb 28 21:44:48 *Amir is awake, looking in the direction of the opened door* Feb 28 21:45:31 Hello little lamb. Had enough of that have you? Feb 28 21:46:47 *He yawns, holding his arms towards Morgan* Feb 28 21:47:22 * Morgan picks him up immediately Feb 28 21:47:58 *he looks like he might go back to sleep* Feb 28 21:48:40 * Morgan quietly carries him back through, sitting down gently, rocking him Feb 28 21:49:47 * Molly sits in front of him again, keeping solid contact between her back and his legs. Amir seems to be fully asleep again Feb 28 21:50:17 What did I miss? Feb 28 21:51:30 V: Uncle Grendlik kissed Auntie Jarvie... on the mouth! Feb 28 21:51:38 gross Feb 28 21:52:14 *HH chuckles* I'm never kissing a girl, tha's disgustin'. Feb 28 21:52:22 V: me neither! Feb 28 21:53:46 *Inga and Molly giggle* Feb 28 21:53:59 Disgusting behaviour if you ask me Feb 28 21:55:04 HH: Til a really pretty lassie comes along an' makes it all make sense... Feb 28 21:57:06 * Morgan nods, gently rocking the baby Feb 28 22:00:30 *the Shadowfayre looks to be very enjoyable. They watch for another hour. What they do catch is Adalbrecht having brought Verity aside, near the window, clueless, and briefly kiss her lips. It's very chaste compared to most kisses he's ever seen, just a peck. Verity, knowing both her sons and her brother have all just seen it, blushes hard Feb 28 22:01:00 *HH chuckles quietly* shoes on th' other foot, man! Feb 28 22:01:40 * Molly glances at Morgan with a smile Feb 28 22:02:31 I think its nice Feb 28 22:02:43 V: Is he going to plant the seed?! I'll be older than my aunt to uncle! Feb 28 22:03:46 * Molly closes her eyes a moment, trying not to laugh. Inga is also struggling, and beside Morgan HH is shaking slightly, trying to repress his laughter Feb 28 22:04:07 * Morgan draws a breath slowly Feb 28 22:04:27 No, Varick, he; s just giving her a kiss to show how much he loves her, thats all. Feb 28 22:04:56 V: That's good, Papa, I didn't want to see his dingaling! Feb 28 22:05:39 *this is too much for HH, who leans against Morgan, chuckling against his best friends shoulder* Feb 28 22:05:53 * Molly covers her face with her hands Feb 28 22:05:54 No, I don't want to either... I doubt the people at the party do either Feb 28 22:06:16 I: That'd ward off the Schattenmann Feb 28 22:06:49 *HH laughs aloud at this before kissing her crown* Oh man... Feb 28 22:07:27 Too right Feb 28 22:08:07 * Molly exhales slowly "Alright, I think it's bedtime, Mauschen, it's very much past your bedtime" Feb 28 22:08:35 V: do I have to? Feb 28 22:09:15 Aye lad, you do Feb 28 22:09:54 *he gets up, kissing the sleeping baby's crown as he goes* Feb 28 22:16:44 * Morgan sighs Feb 28 22:17:43 * Molly is now known as Inga Feb 28 22:17:56 * Inga watches them go Feb 28 22:18:06 He loves Amir, doesn't he? Feb 28 22:18:32 * Morgan nods Feb 28 22:18:33 Undoubtedly Feb 28 22:25:31 * Inga sits up beside Morgan, looking at the sleeping boy Feb 28 22:25:39 He is very cute Feb 28 22:26:26 * Morgan nods Feb 28 22:26:28 Aye, he is Feb 28 22:28:33 When does he have to go back? Feb 28 22:29:51 Tonight? I've no idea, Molly hasn't said Feb 28 22:31:31 * Inga nods. Molly is back about five minutes later, barely before there's a knock on the door Feb 28 22:31:41 Now, I suppose Feb 28 22:32:19 *molly covers the mirror* Feb 28 22:32:34 M: could you lights some candles? Feb 28 22:32:43 * Morgan nods, doing so Feb 28 22:33:05 * Inga is now known as Xsarlac Feb 28 22:33:18 * Xsarlac is at the door when Molly opens it Feb 28 22:33:26 I've come for Amir Feb 28 22:34:55 *the way in which Molly's body language changes is so subtly as to be impossible to fully explain, but it is as if she seeks to make herself a barrier between the sovereign prince and the baby she loves Feb 28 22:35:19 * Morgan gets up, bringing Amir to the door Feb 28 22:35:24 [its alright love... ] Feb 28 22:36:09 *she stands aside* Feb 28 22:36:25 * Xsarlac smiles "Thank you for having him tonight* Feb 28 22:36:48 Its been our pleasure... he's been good as gold. Your things have been moved to a bigger room? Feb 28 22:37:13 They have thank you. Feb 28 22:38:11 * Morgan hands the sleeping child over Feb 28 22:38:49 good. He had a feed a couple of hours ago and he's been asleep pretty much since Feb 28 22:40:12 * Xsarlac takes him carefully "thank you, he usually sleeps through" Feb 28 22:40:50 * Morgan nods Feb 28 22:41:28 Goodnight *he inclines his head* Feb 28 22:41:47 * Morgan nods, watching him go before closing the door Feb 28 22:42:28 * Xsarlac is now known as Molly Feb 28 22:42:58 * Molly inhales deeply, chin coming up, shoulders squared Feb 28 22:43:08 Alright, who would like a drink? Feb 28 22:43:29 *HH and Inga both nod* Feb 28 22:43:39 My love? Drink? Tobacco? Feb 28 22:44:12 Both. A large drink. Feb 28 22:44:34 *HH grins* Sounds like a party! Feb 28 22:45:17 * Molly goes to get the tobacco, leaving Morgan to see to drinks. She suddenly giggles in the bedroom Feb 28 22:45:39 * Morgan looks toward the door Feb 28 22:45:42 [are you alright?] Feb 28 22:46:13 * Molly has kicked off her shoes, coming out in her shawl, mirror in one hand, pipe in the other Feb 28 22:46:24 Edward has written you a note Feb 28 22:46:29 right... Feb 28 22:46:45 It says "tell me I did not just see that!" Feb 28 22:46:56 *Hh and Inga start laughing* Feb 28 22:46:58 * Morgan laughs, going back to pouring the drinks Feb 28 22:49:49 * Molly sets the mirror down, scribbling a note and then leaving the mirror on the desk. HH has turned a bit so Inga can sit in front of him with her legs over his, and Molly sits too, leaving space next to her. She takes a big mouthful of her drink when she gets it, then hands him the pipe to light Feb 28 22:50:41 * Morgan lights it, drawing on it before handing it to her Feb 28 22:51:08 * Molly does likewise before passing it to HH Feb 28 22:51:26 HH: Y' know I'm gonna be giggling all night, right? Feb 28 22:51:45 * Molly shrugs "If you aren't in my bed, you aren't my problem!" Feb 28 22:52:22 *HH lets his hair flop in his face* I could be your problem, baby... Feb 28 22:52:58 * Morgan takes a large mouthful of his drink Feb 28 22:53:38 You're everyones problem, you plank Feb 28 22:53:49 * Molly laughs Feb 28 22:54:26 *HH nods, using the pipe* Their problem is they're never as sexy as me Feb 28 22:55:24 * Molly smiles slightly "everyone in this room is sexier than you, Heinzharold..." Feb 28 22:55:50 I see the tobacco has well and truly taken hold Feb 28 22:56:16 HH: *he laughs hard* She's two thirds right Feb 28 22:57:24 *He holds the pipe up so Inga can't reach it* Oh no, we don' know what you'll be like on this! Feb 28 22:58:00 * Molly glances at Morgan Feb 28 22:58:35 I think he should share, don't you? Feb 28 22:59:47 Aye, I do Feb 28 23:00:32 *HH hands it to her, talking her through it. She coughs just as he and Molly had, but smiles when the elation hits* Feb 28 23:00:41 I: okay, that's good Feb 28 23:01:54 *Inga hands it to Morgan again, then leans against HH. He fiddles with her hair* Feb 28 23:03:20 * Morgan draws on it again before giving it to Molly Feb 28 23:03:59 You sure you want to stop in Hafenlohr? You can go home... Feb 28 23:04:42 HH: we'll get there, man. Figure y' gotta drop in on Sascha an' Otto, give 'em fair warning bout Florrie Feb 28 23:05:35 * Morgan nods Feb 28 23:05:45 Was thinking about that... but I meant more... long term. Feb 28 23:05:50 * Molly inhales deeply, holding it longer before exhaling. She turns in her seat so she can put her back to his head Feb 28 23:06:03 HH: Nope, our 'ome is with you, man Feb 28 23:08:31 * Morgan nods slowly Feb 28 23:08:52 Been thinkin... bout your cottage Feb 28 23:09:31 * Molly hands HH the pipe Feb 28 23:09:38 HH: Wassat? Feb 28 23:09:47 * Molly giggles "like a small house." Feb 28 23:10:46 * Morgan sniggers Feb 28 23:12:18 *HH fakes shock. She sticks her tongue out at him* Feb 28 23:13:10 HH: Y' wanna warn 'er that th' birds'll come for that! Feb 28 23:14:03 Thought it was because of... shut up Morgan Feb 28 23:14:21 *this makes everyone laugh* Feb 28 23:14:41 Thank god, I was going to say it's not just the birds! Feb 28 23:15:05 * Morgan blushes Feb 28 23:15:24 *HH starts giggling* Oh man, she doesn't get 'ow bad that sounds! Feb 28 23:16:31 Reckon? Feb 28 23:16:37 *Inga looks quite relaxed, the pipe eventually coming back to her. She addresses Morgan* I don't get it? Feb 28 23:17:35 She's suggesting its not just birds that the tongue can make come... that means orgasm. Feb 28 23:18:00 * Molly starts giggling and so does HH Feb 28 23:18:46 *Inga nods* thanks Feb 28 23:19:07 HH: I was thinking the birds... like people talk 'bout girls Feb 28 23:19:12 * Morgan nods, taking a mouthful of his drink Feb 28 23:19:32 Could always ask... no, shut up. Feb 28 23:19:34 * Molly shakes her head, blushing "I did not mean that!" Feb 28 23:20:01 *this makes them all laugh* Feb 28 23:20:40 I: is your inner Heinzharold misbehaving? Feb 28 23:20:58 *Inga uses the pipe again, coughing slightly* Feb 28 23:22:07 I don't have one... Feb 28 23:22:15 *HH giggles* pretty sure I'd remember him havin' an inner Heinzharold! Feb 28 23:22:33 *Inga slaps his arm* Heinzharold! Feb 28 23:23:16 * Molly giggles, leaning her head back to Morgan a little Feb 28 23:24:29 I never used to be this rude... its still somewhat a surprise Feb 28 23:24:58 HH: He was always th' straight man t' my funny man Feb 28 23:26:26 Someone's got to be sensible Feb 28 23:27:34 HH: Tha' went right out th' split door in the stable, right? Feb 28 23:27:50 * Molly bites her lip, giggling Feb 28 23:28:20 I'm sensible Feb 28 23:28:57 *HH nods* must be this lil lassie is th' wild one then! Feb 28 23:29:19 * Molly glances at Morgan questioningly Feb 28 23:29:25 * Morgan nods, taking another mouthful Feb 28 23:29:27 undoubtedly Feb 28 23:29:35 * Molly smiles Feb 28 23:29:45 It's the hair, I'm sure! Feb 28 23:30:27 Oh probably Feb 28 23:30:34 *HH nods, drinking a mouthful of whiskey* Feb 28 23:31:14 And it's not that I really -set out- to be wild, it's just... I lose self-control quickly Feb 28 23:31:53 *HH chuckles* brain shuts down, eh? Feb 28 23:32:20 * Molly nods. Inga hands Morgan the pipe. Feb 28 23:32:51 * Morgan passes it straight to Molly Feb 28 23:33:08 It's like it just chuck the reins and slaps the horse's ass Feb 28 23:33:25 *HH laughs, as does Inga* Feb 28 23:33:38 I did that to Xantha once Feb 28 23:34:06 *HH giggles* you dead? Y' don't look dead Feb 28 23:34:59 I made the mistake of sticking my foot out, so he bit my boot and dragged me, at speed, from the saddle and chucked me on the floor Feb 28 23:35:49 *inga is the only one who looks like this seems implausible* why would he do that?! Feb 28 23:35:55 I:* Feb 28 23:36:54 because... he demands respect. Feb 28 23:38:58 *Inga nods. HH giggles* he don' take no shit Feb 28 23:39:23 * Morgan nods Feb 28 23:39:28 He's a bit... odd. Feb 28 23:39:53 *HH giggles again* Takes no shit... leaves a lot though Feb 28 23:41:13 * Molly giggles too, and Inga joins them. Molly inhales deeply again, letting it work longer before exhaling slowly Feb 28 23:42:09 *HH takes the pipe when she offers it* You pair tried swivin' on this yet? Feb 28 23:42:36 I: Heinzharold! You can't just go around asking whether people have been swiving! Feb 28 23:43:13 *HH giggles* I felt m' mouth move. Did you see my mouth move, man? Feb 28 23:44:10 Wasn't aware it ever stopped to be honest Feb 28 23:44:33 I: That's a blessing sometimes! Feb 28 23:44:48 * Morgan blushes Feb 28 23:45:18 *HH sniggers* I can't ask bout swivin', but she can tell y' she likes my movin' mouth! Feb 28 23:45:41 * Morgan shrugs Feb 28 23:45:45 Its an unfair world man Feb 28 23:46:00 *Inga shrugs, smirking* It's about the only thing it's useful for! Feb 28 23:46:49 *HH giggles* good f' whisperin' sweet nothin's to ya Feb 28 23:47:01 *Inga smiles* two things Feb 28 23:48:15 * Morgan takes a mouthful of his drink Feb 28 23:48:58 [alright, my love?] Feb 28 23:49:58 [aye] Feb 28 23:50:10 Suppose we hadn't... What's so good about it? Feb 28 23:50:57 HH: makes everythin' more sensitive an' y' feel more Feb 28 23:51:27 More sensitive?! I'd probably die. Feb 28 23:51:46 *Inga giggles at this* Feb 28 23:52:37 Huh... Feb 28 23:53:01 * Molly twists to look at him Feb 28 23:53:06 What, my love? Feb 28 23:54:07 It makes sense, really... given that when we were trying to avoid -that- dream... the tobacco made the skin on my back feel... well, -feel- Feb 28 23:54:45 * Molly nods, eyes lighting up "oh... yes..." Feb 28 23:55:20 *HH watches them up* someone's gettin' it tonight *he giggles* Feb 28 23:56:13 Man, you know how much of this I'd have to use to get as silly as you? Feb 28 23:56:49 *HH shrugs* y' could jus' try lightenin' up? Feb 28 23:57:24 Think you'll find I'm the life and soul.... Feb 28 23:58:24 * Molly rests her head back against him "you're wonderful as you are, my love" Feb 28 23:58:55 *Inga smiles, nodding* did you tell Molly about the dream yet? Feb 28 23:59:25 * Morgan nods Feb 28 23:59:30 Yes... I did. Feb 28 23:59:45 I: does that mean you can tell us now?
