Its doing both of them good though$ Mar 21 22:36:30 *HH nods. There's not much longer of learning until the lunch bell rings. Xsarlac and Betuana don't join them for lunch, and Inga seems happy helping Amir with solid food* Mar 21 22:37:26 My love, I left notes for your Mother, Edward, and Florrie at two, two thirty, and three respectively Mar 21 22:37:45 * MorganK nods slowly Mar 21 22:37:48 alright... thank you love Mar 21 22:38:13 I didn't want to disrupt anyone's quiet hour Mar 21 22:38:33 No, quite right Mar 21 22:40:51 * MollyK nods, sitting by Varick and chatting to him whilst they eat. After the food is done, She brings the milk and the cup so he can feed Amir Mar 21 22:41:43 * MorganK thanks her, getting setup to feed him Mar 21 22:43:50 *Inga brings him over. Amir grins at him, bringing his fist to his mouth* Mar 21 22:44:22 Hello little lamb... I don't think your hand is going to be that tasty... shall we try some milk? Mar 21 22:45:14 *Amir reaches for it. He smells more of rosewater now than before* Mar 21 22:46:10 * MorganK brings the cup to his mouth, letting him drink Mar 21 22:47:38 *Amir looks happy and relaxed, fiddling with Morgan's button again. Around them the others chat and play cards, but it's almost like they're separated from him and the baby somehow* Mar 21 22:48:00 * MorganK finds himself singing very quietly to the boy Mar 21 22:51:35 *Amir watches him adoringly, similar and yet so different to Jana* Mar 21 22:52:15 * MorganK smiles at him Mar 21 22:52:19 My parents are going to adore you Mar 21 22:53:29 *he smiles, still drinking. He starts to look a little sleepy* Mar 21 22:53:49 * MorganK gently rocks him Mar 21 22:54:30 Of course, my father will probably go a bit mad about it, but he'll come around Mar 21 22:54:55 *Amir's eyelids start to close* Mar 21 22:55:54 Thats it little lamb, have a little sleep *he speaks slowly, quietly* Mar 21 22:57:44 *Amir does fall asleep, just peacefully safe in Morgan's arms* Mar 21 22:58:37 * MorganK looks round at the others before slowly standing up and carrying the boy through to put him in his crib Mar 21 23:00:41 *Amir doesn't stir. Molly has put the mermaid doll in his crib* Mar 21 23:01:01 * MorganK watches him for a moment before going back into his study Mar 21 23:02:39 *he's brought into the card game, but soon after Varick is ready for his nap, and HH and Inga have gone off already* Mar 21 23:02:52 V: Vati will you take me for my nap? Mar 21 23:03:02 * MorganK nods Mar 21 23:03:10 Alright Varick... come on Mar 21 23:03:56 * MollyK is now known as Varick Mar 21 23:04:01 * Varick goes through Mar 21 23:04:18 If we had two cribs, Amir could sleep in my room for his naps Mar 21 23:04:53 Maybe tomorrow I'll move his crib in so you can nap together... Mar 21 23:05:09 * Varick takes off his boots Mar 21 23:05:20 Thank you Mar 21 23:05:57 * MorganK nods Mar 21 23:06:01 How are you feeling today? Mar 21 23:06:55 I wish we could run around outside Mar 21 23:07:55 * MorganK nods Mar 21 23:08:04 Only about another week and we'll be on land again Mar 21 23:09:55 * Varick nods Mar 21 23:10:15 We can swim and play in the sand and Amir can learn to swim Mar 21 23:10:27 * MorganK nods Mar 21 23:10:42 But in a gentler way than how Edward and I were taught Mar 21 23:10:58 * Varick lies down Mar 21 23:11:16 My first Vati taught me to swim uncle Edward says Mar 21 23:11:37 You're very good at it. Mar 21 23:12:30 * Varick nods, yawning Mar 21 23:12:41 will Amir be too? Mar 21 23:13:20 I don't know... I don't think there's any way to know. Edward and I were taught the same way at the same time and he's -really- bad at it Mar 21 23:14:17 Why is he so bad? Mar 21 23:15:27 Its in his mind... he's scared of the water and it makes him tense up. Thats what I was trying to teach him in the lake, to relax enough Mar 21 23:16:06 * Varick nods, closing his eyes and sounding sleepy "okay Papa" Mar 21 23:16:29 * MorganK smiles slightly, stroking the boys forehead Mar 21 23:16:36 Sleep well son Mar 21 23:16:48 * Varick is asleep quickly Mar 21 23:17:56 * MorganK goes back into the study Mar 21 23:18:15 * Varick is now known as Molly Mar 21 23:18:42 * Molly is sat in the window seat, watching out. It's bright and sunny outside Mar 21 23:19:10 * MorganK goes to sit beside her, pulling his knees up onto the seat Mar 21 23:19:24 * Molly watches him Mar 21 23:19:54 Are you well? Mar 21 23:20:01 fine Mar 21 23:20:30 * Molly nods slowly "Good. Did you nap well?" Mar 21 23:20:38 * MorganK nods Mar 21 23:20:42 Not bad, actually Mar 21 23:21:12 No nightmares? Mar 21 23:21:38 No... Mar 21 23:21:59 Dreams though? Mar 21 23:24:12 A little one, yes... nothing significant Mar 21 23:24:21 * Molly nods Mar 21 23:24:58 If you do not mind, I thought I might go up on deck a while Mar 21 23:25:09 Oh? Mar 21 23:25:45 It looks nice and sunny, and between learning and the boys, I don't seem to be up there much Mar 21 23:25:55 * MorganK nods Mar 21 23:25:59 Alright love Mar 21 23:26:23 Unless you have a need of me...? Mar 21 23:26:40 Go get some sun my love. We'll have time later Mar 21 23:27:44 * Molly nods, kissing his cheek. The new scent isn't very strong, but it adds an additional dimension to her usual rosewater and lavender combination Mar 21 23:28:04 I'll see you soon my love Mar 21 23:29:33 Yes liebling *she takes her shawl with her. Even the cat isn't around for company in the quiet study* Mar 21 23:30:20 * MorganK stretches out on the couch, closing his eyes and relaxing Mar 21 23:31:44 * Molly isn't back before Amir wakes at quarter before two Mar 21 23:32:05 * MorganK fetches him, getting him changed Mar 21 23:32:09 [are you alright?] Mar 21 23:33:30 [yes, just spending time catching up with Sorgi] Mar 21 23:33:43 [alright blossom] Mar 21 23:33:56 * MorganK carries Amir around, setting up the mirror Mar 21 23:35:01 *he grizzles* Mar 21 23:35:13 Oh little man, whats the matter, hmm? Mar 21 23:36:47 *Amir fusses, trying to root against Morgan's shoulder* Mar 21 23:37:15 [I'm sorry love, Amir wants feeding] Mar 21 23:37:23 I know, I'm telling her Mar 21 23:37:59 [it's not a problem, my love, i'll be there in a moment] Mar 21 23:38:28 And there I was going to introduce you to my mother... nevermind,hmm? Mar 21 23:39:00 *Amir doesn't stop being fussy until Molly appears* Mar 21 23:39:37 Oh dear, someone is certainly enthused by bubbies, and it's not Heinzharold! Mar 21 23:39:49 * Molly takes him gently Mar 21 23:40:05 We'll have to account for that in future I think Mar 21 23:40:17 * Molly rocks him Mar 21 23:40:28 Account for what, my love? Mar 21 23:41:12 That he'll want to feed as soon as he wakes. I suspect quiet hour will go out the window while you're negotiating... Mar 21 23:43:11 I should imagine I'll be busy, but if I express before I go in the mornings you can keep it cool. And I can increase my supply with magic if I need to, providing I do not overdo it Mar 21 23:43:26 * MorganK nods Mar 21 23:43:27 *Amir is pulling at her dress* Mar 21 23:44:05 * MorganK smiles slightly Mar 21 23:44:21 He definitely has something on his mind Mar 21 23:45:01 * Molly smiles, starting to undo it Mar 21 23:45:27 He does indeed. He takes after you, on occassion! *she smiles* Mar 21 23:46:33 * MorganK nods, glancing at the mirror Mar 21 23:47:06 I'll take him in the bedroom Mar 21 23:47:33 Alright love... if he is done before mother goes... bring him to me? Mar 21 23:47:44 * Molly nods Mar 21 23:47:53 If you wish, of course Mar 21 23:48:00 * MorganK nods Mar 21 23:48:04 Thank you my love Mar 21 23:48:14 * Molly takes Amir through Mar 21 23:48:37 * MorganK pours himself some whiskey before uncovering the mirror and waiting for his mother Mar 21 23:48:58 * Molly is now known as Verity Mar 21 23:49:06 * Verity is prompt Mar 21 23:49:21 Good afternoon, dear boy. It's lovely to see you Mar 21 23:49:30 * MorganK smiles Mar 21 23:49:35 Mother... how are you? Mar 21 23:50:27 I am well, thank you. Your Father and Jarvie are fine, and Grendlik arrived last night so that he cannot miss the birth Mar 21 23:50:58 Thats good news. I was a little concerned he'd be held up and miss it Mar 21 23:52:09 He's very eager to meet his child Mar 21 23:52:38 * MorganK nods, smiling Mar 21 23:52:42 I remember that feeling well Mar 21 23:54:02 * Verity smiles Mar 21 23:54:11 And your Father, both times Mar 21 23:54:22 * MorganK nods Mar 21 23:54:29 He seemed to enjoy the festivities... Mar 21 23:54:51 * Verity blushes Mar 21 23:55:07 Yes, I am sorry about that, dear boy Mar 21 23:55:47 Whatever for? I'm pleased that father has become more expressive of his love for you Mar 21 23:55:56 * Verity nods Mar 21 23:56:14 He has, yes Mar 21 23:56:23 * MorganK nods Mar 21 23:56:26 Good. Mar 21 23:56:40 * Verity smiles Mar 21 23:58:29 He has never returned to his own room. He says our time in Graben reminded him of the early days of your life where he stayed with me more and we could talk long into the night Mar 21 23:59:04 * MorganK nods Mar 21 23:59:16 I'm pleased, genuinely Mar 21 23:59:26 * Verity nods
