**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Apr 1 00:00:10 2023 Apr 01 00:00:10 [for now] Apr 01 00:00:48 [are you excusing us for the night, or gathering your resources?] Apr 01 00:01:06 [mostly the latter] Apr 01 00:03:32 *she sends him an image of an afterwards, and them lying side by side and spent. She puts a tender, loving hand to his cheek and kisses his softly and very chastely, murmuring how she loves him more than every drop of water in the seas* Apr 01 00:04:28 [you win. You definitely win] Apr 01 00:04:44 [mmhmm] Apr 01 00:07:12 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Apr 01 00:20:35 * Molly has quit (Ping Timeout) Apr 01 00:54:29 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 01 01:02:29 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 01 12:11:00 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.150) has joined Apr 01 12:55:23 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 01 12:58:35 * MollyK smiles, resting her cheek to his arm as she keeps sewing. Given the strain of performing for such a big audience, and the worry about the crew, she now looks so much more relaxed Apr 01 12:59:26 I thought you might wish to speak to home tomorrow? I've set up appointments after quiet hour Apr 01 12:59:34 * Morgan nods Apr 01 12:59:39 Aye, that'd be nice Apr 01 13:01:43 HH: missin' everyone? Apr 01 13:02:25 * Morgan nods Apr 01 13:02:32 Missing home Apr 01 13:03:30 HH: Gon' be able to move straight in at Hafenlohr? Apr 01 13:03:51 Need to check with Edward really Apr 01 13:04:17 HH: I liked Dekker, wonder 'ow he's doin' Apr 01 13:04:40 I'll ask Apr 01 13:05:00 I: I wonder if Diana is happier now that they'll live in Wittenburg all the time Apr 01 13:06:06 probably Apr 01 13:06:11 -I- wonder whether he has dealt with the house he is keeping as a shrine to his second wife... Apr 01 13:06:38 * Morgan frowns Apr 01 13:07:26 *Inga is the one that spots it* do you think he shouldn't? Apr 01 13:08:11 I think that was unfair Apr 01 13:08:34 I: to Diana and Vania? Apr 01 13:09:13 To Dekker. He is still grieving deeply. Letting go of it will take time, effort and a great deal of pain Apr 01 13:09:37 * MollyK glances up at him Apr 01 13:09:53 It was him who felt he should be starting that, my love. Apr 01 13:10:26 And he deserves patience Apr 01 13:10:36 * MollyK frowns Apr 01 13:10:44 I was simply curious Apr 01 13:10:59 Thats not how it sounded Apr 01 13:11:25 I am surprised you would think that of me... Apr 01 13:11:56 Thats precisely why it annoyed me... because I didn't expect it of you Apr 01 13:12:26 * MollyK nods a little, going back to her sewing Apr 01 13:13:09 *HH is watching them* Apr 01 13:13:52 I: I wonder if he bought her a second dog like he said he might Apr 01 13:14:36 * MollyK nods "I believe she would prefer to have a child though" Apr 01 13:15:07 I: They've been married quite a long time to not have one, haven't they? Apr 01 13:15:59 Longer than would be expected Apr 01 13:16:05 * MollyK nods "They were married in the summer of sixty four, so six and a half years" Apr 01 13:16:51 HH: dunno about you, man, but tha' yapping little thing would be pretty good contraception to me! Apr 01 13:17:06 The rat... Apr 01 13:17:22 *Inga giggles* Peaches. Apr 01 13:17:51 Its a very loving, if extremely excitable little... creature Apr 01 13:18:10 HH: yeah, my lil darlin found it pretty funny that he was called the same as bubbies Apr 01 13:20:35 I: it'd take a lot of washing to get cream off him! Apr 01 13:21:51 Wait, so that song isn't really about dessert? Apr 01 13:23:11 I: *she giggles again* you thought it was? Apr 01 13:24:01 I'm not sure I want to say now Apr 01 13:24:07 *HH chuckles* tell 'er about the pearl necklace, man Apr 01 13:28:23 Huh? Apr 01 13:29:14 HH: about what you thought a "pearl necklace" was Apr 01 13:30:01 Exactly what it sounds like... Apr 01 13:32:59 I: *she giggles again* when did you find out it wasn't?! Apr 01 13:33:38 *it was on the way from Graben to Zweibrucke when HH said about it* Apr 01 13:34:03 Between Graben and Zweibrucke... Apr 01 13:36:45 *Inga laughs again* this time we travelled?! Apr 01 13:37:02 * Morgan nods Apr 01 13:37:17 HH: poor old Saint Morgan Apr 01 13:37:48 Claudia says he's excommunicated Apr 01 13:38:28 *HH and Inga laugh. Molly remains very quiet* Apr 01 13:38:37 I: You do understand what it is now? Apr 01 13:38:59 * Morgan squeezes her gently Apr 01 13:39:06 No, I've got no idea... Apr 01 13:39:24 *There's the slight noise of Amir waking, and she sets down the sewing* If you'll all excuse me, I'll be back soon Apr 01 13:39:50 * Morgan lets her go Apr 01 13:40:19 I: It's when you cum on her chest *she's clearly watching Morgan's reaction as Molly quietly slips into the bedroom* Apr 01 13:41:30 * Morgan smiles slightly Apr 01 13:42:49 HH: wish you'd seen 'er face when I told her you'd given her a pearl necklace in Niesfeld, man! Apr 01 13:43:15 *that was before Morgan had any clue about the euphemism* Apr 01 13:43:18 * Morgan laughs quietly Apr 01 13:43:21 I can imagine Apr 01 13:43:41 *Inga giggles* I was surprised and pleased for Molly! Apr 01 13:44:08 And then disappointed... and then pleased? Apr 01 13:46:50 *she nods* It looked beautiful. It hangs so well on her bubbies Apr 01 13:46:57 * MollyK is now known as Inga Apr 01 13:47:59 * Morgan nods Apr 01 13:48:02 That was the intention Apr 01 13:48:40 You picked it thinking of her bubbies?! Apr 01 13:50:36 There were a few options... one of them was a bit -too- obvious, the other far too restrained Apr 01 13:51:04 I: that's really nice, she said it was a nice trip Apr 01 13:54:17 * Morgan nods Apr 01 13:54:22 Yes, it was Apr 01 13:55:05 The crib is very sweet Apr 01 13:56:21 * Morgan nods Apr 01 13:56:26 The three of us worked hard on it Apr 01 13:57:44 Will you let him nap with Varick? Apr 01 13:57:55 * Morgan nods Apr 01 13:58:01 Thats what its for Apr 01 13:58:23 It'll make it easier for you tow to have a nap when they do in quiet hour Apr 01 13:58:39 naps... yes... thats what I wanted it for... Apr 01 13:59:09 HH: summit that involves lying in bed with your eyes closed Apr 01 14:00:27 Closed? You're missing out if thats the case Apr 01 14:01:17 HH: *he grins* not much point havin' 'em open when she's sat on your face! Apr 01 14:01:26 * Inga goes bright red "Heinzharold!" Apr 01 14:01:52 *hh just laughs* Apr 01 14:03:00 Might have a point there... Apr 01 14:04:17 Is it more difficult sharing your room? Apr 01 14:05:45 Given how loud she can be... yes Apr 01 14:06:22 HH: I'm gonna put double thick walls on our bedroom. Apr 01 14:06:34 * Inga blushes again Apr 01 14:07:08 Ah yes, because she's a screamer Apr 01 14:07:16 Morgan! Apr 01 14:07:27 *HH chuckles* Apr 01 14:07:47 * Morgan laughs quietly Apr 01 14:09:44 Gonna build a lil dressing room next door, put a chaise in it t' escape to when we have one in a crib that we don' wanna disturb *the memory of his stuck dream where Dietlinde was bringing him off on the chaise in the dressing room and smelling pregnant pops into his head at this* Apr 01 14:10:33 * Morgan nods, frowning ever so slightly Apr 01 14:11:35 *HH grins* might invest in some big mirrors on th' wall... Apr 01 14:11:44 I'd recommend it Apr 01 14:12:16 Do you have some modifications like that to make at Hafenlohr? Apr 01 14:13:02 We've been discussing it, aye... Apr 01 14:13:52 HH: then he's gon' go back to Sudlachenburg an' have to be Saint Morgan again Apr 01 14:15:01 Won't Gottkirchen be better for socialising and politics than Sudlachenburg though? It's more connected to other places Apr 01 14:15:17 It is rather, yes Apr 01 14:16:10 Won't it make more sense to stay there even when you're Graf of both? Apr 01 14:16:42 * Morgan looks surprisingly disquieted by the suggestion Apr 01 14:16:47 It probably would, yes Apr 01 14:17:05 HH: doesn't feel right? Apr 01 14:18:01 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 01 14:18:04 No, it doesn't Apr 01 14:18:49 HH: yer Da isn' that old, and Molly can fix most things. Mebbie he'll out live you Apr 01 14:20:01 I'd say thats fairly likely Apr 01 14:20:35 Molly said you want the babies born in Sudlachenburg Apr 01 14:21:10 * Morgan nods Apr 01 14:21:13 Yes, I do Apr 01 14:23:33 Heinzharold wants our first son born in the farmhouse! Apr 01 14:23:55 HH: Heinzharold,thirteenth of his name Apr 01 14:24:43 * Morgan nods Apr 01 14:24:50 How do you feel about that? Apr 01 14:25:44 HH: *he nods* pretty good, man Apr 01 14:25:58 I meant Inga... Apr 01 14:26:06 * Inga looks at him Apr 01 14:26:13 I'm hoping for four girls. Apr 01 14:26:32 Oh? Apr 01 14:26:40 *HH laughs* little fibber! Apr 01 14:27:00 If I don't have a boy I can have them where I choose! *she smirks* Apr 01 14:27:26 Ah, thinking of comfort... good idea Apr 01 14:27:49 HH: she wants two of each Apr 01 14:28:46 But where? Apr 01 14:29:09 HH: in the place y' plant the seeds Apr 01 14:29:14 *he grins* Apr 01 14:30:58 * Morgan rolls his eyes Apr 01 14:32:28 I don't mind where I have them, whether it's Sudlachenburg or Hafenlohr Apr 01 14:33:22 * Morgan nods Apr 01 14:35:25 As long as Molly is there to help, it doesn't matter where Apr 01 14:36:34 * Morgan nods Apr 01 14:36:36 aye Apr 01 14:38:43 HH: I'd be happier with tha' too Apr 01 14:39:07 * Morgan nods Apr 01 14:39:15 I don't see her being anywhere else when the time comes Apr 01 14:39:50 HH: Imagine them being in labour a' the same time! Apr 01 14:40:34 * Inga smiles "that'd be quite sweet, we could have beds side by side and talk to each other between the pains" Apr 01 14:41:31 * Morgan smiles Apr 01 14:41:34 I think it would Apr 01 14:41:59 *HH stretches* right, think it's our bed time Apr 01 14:43:10 * Morgan nods Apr 01 14:43:25 Alright... we'll see you in the morning Apr 01 14:43:33 * Inga stands up Apr 01 14:43:42 It was a fun evening Apr 01 14:45:37 * Morgan nods, getting up Apr 01 14:45:47 Aye, it was... I've not laughed that hard in a long time Apr 01 14:45:57 * Inga hugs him Apr 01 14:46:12 You would if you went to bed with Heinzharold! Apr 01 14:46:46 * Morgan hugs her back Apr 01 14:46:49 brutal Apr 01 14:46:50 *HH makes an "oof " before laughing Apr 01 14:47:08 * Inga lets go Apr 01 14:47:17 HH: night, man Apr 01 14:47:53 G'night guys Apr 01 14:48:15 *As they're going out the door, he catches HH say to her "I'm going to put you in th' naughty corner til you can't stand." Apr 01 14:49:03 * Morgan smiles, closing the door behind them and going to refill his glass Apr 01 14:49:12 * Inga is now known as Molly Apr 01 14:49:45 * Molly comes out about fifteen minutes later, pouring a small amount of cherry brandy Apr 01 14:51:43 * Morgan watches her from his seat on the couch Apr 01 14:51:57 * Molly sips it, staying standing Apr 01 14:52:10 I am unreasonably hurt, and I do not wish to be. Apr 01 14:52:35 * Morgan nods Apr 01 14:52:36 Alright Apr 01 14:52:53 * Molly frowns, swirling the drink Apr 01 14:57:02 I never once asked you to put aside or be rid of anything that reminded you of her. I was patient and accepting that you wore her ring around your neck, and kept your original wedding ring on til a few days before our wedding. I have always accepted those things are very special to you, like your handkerchiefs, and that piece of ribbon she had Apr 01 14:57:02 embroidered with your intials. I bought from Sascha the outfit Dietlinde made for your son. I have -always- tried my absolute best to not ask you to discard or lock them away. I am hurt. Apr 01 14:57:23 * Morgan nods Apr 01 14:58:35 I know. The way you said it made it sound like you were belittling him in the struggle I have had, which, given what you've just said, is why I was so surprised and annoyed. I'm big enough to admit I was wrong in understanding what you meant, and I am sorry for hurting you. Apr 01 14:58:47 * Molly nods Apr 01 14:59:56 I see that I am over-reacting. I am sensitive about this, because it has for so long been such a guiding principle for me in my dealings with you. I thought I had been successful. My pride felt wounded. I am sorry too. Apr 01 15:03:54 No... you have nothing to apologise for, nothing at all Apr 01 15:04:26 * Molly comes to him "can I sit in your lap and we can just let it go?" Apr 01 15:04:32 * Morgan nods Apr 01 15:04:38 If you wish to, yes Apr 01 15:05:01 * Molly nods, doing so, her body relaxed as if it is all over and done with Apr 01 15:06:03 Amir went back to sleep alright? Apr 01 15:06:52 * Molly nods Apr 01 15:07:29 He barely even woke. It was good timing, rather than me having to express Apr 01 15:08:12 * Morgan nods Apr 01 15:08:14 aye Apr 01 15:08:29 Are we alright, my love? Apr 01 15:09:47 You said to let it go... Apr 01 15:09:59 And can you? Apr 01 15:10:59 I've already said so Apr 01 15:11:33 Good *she gently kisses his lips* I thought they'd still be here Apr 01 15:12:12 They might have been if you'd been a little quicker... though HeinzHarold did make fun of my not knowing what a pearl necklace was Apr 01 15:12:31 * Molly giggles Apr 01 15:12:44 I caught a little of that before I went Apr 01 15:13:27 * Morgan nods Apr 01 15:13:49 Then we talked about the crib... about us having our bedroom back at nap time... Apr 01 15:14:37 * Molly smiles "that would be a nice bonus of Varick getting to enjoy sharing his room?" Apr 01 15:14:46 * Morgan nods Apr 01 15:14:47 Indeed Apr 01 15:15:04 Was he ribbing you? Apr 01 15:17:15 A little perhaps... he was saying about having an extra thick wall in their bedroom... Apr 01 15:18:12 * Molly giggles Apr 01 15:18:20 Not the worst idea, hmm? Apr 01 15:18:47 No, I agreed, what with Inga being a screamer Apr 01 15:18:57 * Molly blushes Apr 01 15:19:13 She has told me before that she can be very loud Apr 01 15:21:57 * Morgan nods Apr 01 15:22:34 Would you like us to make the walls thicker at Hafenlohr? Apr 01 15:23:17 They look fairly substantial already Apr 01 15:24:18 I look forward to testing them vigorously Apr 01 15:24:52 * Morgan nods Apr 01 15:25:10 We need to spend some time discussing our plans for any alterations or extensions... Apr 01 15:25:24 Mmhmm... now? Apr 01 15:27:14 If you want to, though we could do with space to draw... Apr 01 15:28:36 Hmm... *she kisses him, flicking her tongue against his lips a moment before moving away* we can do that Apr 01 15:33:41 * Morgan nods Apr 01 15:34:13 * Molly gets up, going to the desk "Some of it we will be guessing at, our tour was not that thorough, aside from the west facing drawing room with the big windows, the lavender guest room we had, the dining room and the roof. Maybe we could ask Edward to draw us a proper layout?" Apr 01 15:34:40 * Morgan nods Apr 01 15:34:43 Thats a good idea Apr 01 15:35:13 * Molly spends five minutes sketching out what she can remember Apr 01 15:35:44 What modification were you thinking, my love? Apr 01 15:35:53 * Morgan shrugs Apr 01 15:36:13 I imagine... we'll need somewhere to do the business of being a Graf... Apr 01 15:36:21 * Molly giggles Apr 01 15:36:30 There are plenty of bedrooms... Apr 01 15:36:47 No, I think not Apr 01 15:37:11 For the business of making the Veisgraf... Apr 01 15:37:25 Thats not quite the business I was referring to... Apr 01 15:38:21 We can ask Edward about studies and libraries. Downstairs? Apr 01 15:38:25 * Morgan nods Apr 01 15:38:35 Yes... Apr 01 15:39:00 We can have your blue top desk from the Veisgraf Wing brought? Apr 01 15:39:33 * Morgan nods Apr 01 15:39:37 I think so Apr 01 15:39:46 And we can have a couch like that one so I can... *she smirks* keep you company? Apr 01 15:40:22 I would imagine you'll be busy with the children? Apr 01 15:42:12 We will have some nursery staff and tutors. I will not allow it that we get no time to be -us- still Apr 01 15:43:03 No, I know... but I also want to be sure I do a good job Apr 01 15:43:27 You are concerned that I will be a distraction? Apr 01 15:43:52 That I will be distracted. Apr 01 15:43:59 By me? Apr 01 15:44:06 * Morgan nods Apr 01 15:44:16 Like I said, I want to do a good job there Apr 01 15:44:26 * Molly giggles Apr 01 15:46:51 Perhaps we both can do a good job at our respective tasks... *she sends him the image of him sat at the blue desk with the estate books and correspondence, writing a letter whilst gritting his teeth whilst she is beneath the desk on her knees and roughly grinding her throat on him* Apr 01 15:48:33 Molly... please, I'm serious about this Apr 01 15:48:42 * Molly smiles Apr 01 15:49:06 I'm sorry... though there's little that makes that harder than you saying you are serious. Apr 01 15:49:35 * Morgan sighs Apr 01 15:50:05 My love, you are going to be an -Excellent- Graf. I have no concerns at all Apr 01 15:50:20 Well I do Apr 01 15:50:25 Why? Apr 01 15:51:07 I just do Apr 01 15:53:02 You have some time to settle in to Hafenlohr and Gottkirchen whilst Maubourg is still the Graf. The overseer will already be gathering information you need. Karlsruhe is there, my Father and yours will be available to help you learn. By the time you become the Graf, you will have much more experience and knowledge than now Apr 01 15:53:26 * Morgan sighs, nodding Apr 01 15:54:38 I won't be a nuisance. I will busy myself with our children, our friends, and our home Apr 01 15:54:56 I don't wish you to absence yourself from me... but I must get the work done Apr 01 15:55:32 I have no intention of preventing you Apr 01 15:56:50 * Morgan nods Apr 01 15:57:10 I had considered perhaps building an extension to serve as an office... Apr 01 15:57:24 * Molly smiles Apr 01 15:57:58 That would be very wise. What about a small state room too? And a more formal meeting room? Apr 01 16:00:05 * Morgan sighs Apr 01 16:00:09 Going to be expensive isn't it Apr 01 16:02:31 Yes, it will, but we will have money from trading by then, as well as payments from the ambassadorship still, and that of your stewardship, your allowance from your father until we have our first birth child or you become Graf, Innesbruck should start to make you small dividends soon, and I will have a small income from my business venture with the Apr 01 16:02:32 black cherries and Faulk Apr 01 16:04:08 * Morgan nods Apr 01 16:04:49 I suppose so Apr 01 16:05:36 I could always take work as a wet nurse, as I am a super milker! *she blushes, smiling, obviously playing* Apr 01 16:06:52 Not the most flattering of titles is it Apr 01 16:07:38 No, definitely not. So, a Wing for the Graf... what else would you like? Apr 01 16:09:03 Our garden... and I'd like a vegetable plot Apr 01 16:09:48 * Molly smiles "that would be nice. Will the garden contain out little barn or shed for rainy days?" Apr 01 16:10:22 * Morgan nods Apr 01 16:10:25 yes Apr 01 16:11:01 * Molly nods "near the house, or in the wilder parts of the estate?" Apr 01 16:11:42 I don't know... what do you think? Apr 01 16:12:25 I see benefits of both Apr 01 16:13:38 * Morgan nods Apr 01 16:14:57 Further means it will have more mature trees so the potential for some more shady places and more variety, and we can be louder... but it might be too far for us to easily escape to... Apr 01 16:16:12 *she glances at him* Although, if what we really want is to be intimate in the sunshine, we can go up on the roof and bolt the doors that lead up there... Apr 01 16:16:40 * Morgan nods Apr 01 16:16:43 That is true Apr 01 16:17:25 Only the birds can see us then. Perhaps some storage up there to keep cushions and blankets? Apr 01 16:18:22 * Morgan nods Apr 01 16:18:23 Good idea Apr 01 16:18:38 * Molly smiles, noting it Apr 01 16:19:18 The walled garden can be further out, with the umm... swiving she'd in it? *she smirks, watching him* Apr 01 16:19:23 Shed* Apr 01 16:23:03 We're not calling it that Apr 01 16:23:41 No? What would you prefer? *she looks mischievous* banging barn? Apr 01 16:23:55 You're spending too much time with HeinzHarold Apr 01 16:24:01 * Molly giggles Apr 01 16:24:26 It was not me that looked like they might wet themselves laughing earlier, my love Apr 01 16:28:57 Might have a point there Apr 01 16:29:53 It was marvellous Apr 01 16:30:35 You think so? Apr 01 16:30:41 * Molly nods, smiling Apr 01 16:31:00 Indeed. You couldn't have laughed like that until very recently Apr 01 16:31:19 no... I think you're right Apr 01 16:33:59 It's another little chunk of your armour falling away Apr 01 16:34:43 * Morgan nods Apr 01 16:34:47 I suppose it is Apr 01 16:35:50 * Molly tilts her head "Is that how you were before, when he used to visit the cottage?" ((No cannon, your call on how willing to be that irreverent and silly he'd have been with Dietlinde around)) Apr 01 16:40:03 Pretty much... I was relaxed, aside from being downhearted about my family... Apr 01 16:42:10 * Molly nods Apr 01 16:42:25 I am glad you're getting back to that Apr 01 16:44:44 * Morgan nods Apr 01 16:44:46 Me too Apr 01 16:49:26 It's so endearing. I love to see you heart lighter Apr 01 16:50:39 * Morgan nods Apr 01 16:58:08 * Molly smiles Apr 01 16:58:25 We'll keep the drawing room as it is? Apr 01 16:58:57 * Morgan nods Apr 01 16:59:00 I don't see why not Apr 01 17:00:14 I like it. We will have to see what Edward says about the master suite and how well it will fit our needs with our babies Apr 01 17:00:44 * Morgan nods Apr 01 17:00:46 aye Apr 01 17:01:16 Even if we were willing to move Amir to the nursery so soon, I do not want that for our next baby Apr 01 17:01:50 No? Apr 01 17:02:33 You would not have them in with you as you said Jana did at first? Apr 01 17:03:24 I didn't say that Apr 01 17:05:05 I do not know how long it is normal for, but it will be several months, won't it? Apr 01 17:05:43 * Morgan nods Apr 01 17:05:44 At least Apr 01 17:07:51 * Molly nods Apr 01 17:07:59 We will get used to it Apr 01 17:08:47 * Morgan nods Apr 01 17:08:49 No doubt Apr 01 17:08:55 Would you like to have as we do here, a room next door where we can see to such matters? Apr 01 17:10:16 How do you mean? Apr 01 17:11:11 * Molly smiles Apr 01 17:11:25 Where we can have sex without waking the baby Apr 01 17:11:33 Oh, I see Apr 01 17:11:42 It would make a certain amount of sense... Apr 01 17:12:04 You think that I will be so tired out that I will not wish to so much? Apr 01 17:13:32 Its a possibility, yes... Apr 01 17:14:42 * Molly smiles "even a moderate reduction in the frequency I wish to make love to you will only take it down to once a day" Apr 01 17:15:05 * Morgan laughs quietly Apr 01 17:15:06 I see Apr 01 17:15:14 I've surprised you? Apr 01 17:16:08 A little perhaps Apr 01 17:16:33 * Molly smiles "a girl needs to have some mystery to keep her husband enamoured" Apr 01 17:16:47 * Morgan shrugs Apr 01 17:16:51 I'll take your word for that Apr 01 17:17:12 A summerhouse by the lake? Apr 01 17:17:38 That'd be nice Apr 01 17:17:41 With a bed? Or a chaise at least? Apr 01 17:17:49 A chaise will do Apr 01 17:18:04 We can manage plenty of mischief on one? Apr 01 17:18:19 I would imagine so, yes Apr 01 17:18:29 I am imagining that now... Apr 01 17:18:41 * Molly writes it down Apr 01 17:19:06 * Morgan nods Apr 01 17:19:35 * Molly smiles thoughtfully Apr 01 17:19:43 What else...? Apr 01 17:19:56 * Morgan shrugs Apr 01 17:19:59 I'm not sure... Apr 01 17:20:04 Enough space there to sketch? Apr 01 17:21:10 * Morgan nods Apr 01 17:21:18 But then, I can do that almost anywhere Apr 01 17:21:24 * Molly nods Apr 01 17:22:04 A good sized nursery in case they come close together Apr 01 17:22:48 * Morgan nods Apr 01 17:22:50 Thats a must Apr 01 17:22:54 * Molly nods Apr 01 17:23:49 Aside from that, I don't think much needs changing. You'll wish to hang Edward's painting of my in the church in Starke somewhere prominent? Apr 01 17:23:58 * Morgan nods Apr 01 17:23:59 Definitely Apr 01 17:24:29 We will have one done for the christening of the four of us. *this is clearly not a question* Apr 01 17:25:08 Apparently so Apr 01 17:25:12 * Molly nods Apr 01 17:25:20 I am afraid I must insist Apr 01 17:25:32 interesting. Why? Apr 01 17:26:09 Because we are a family, and I wish to mark that as we go into the home I hope our children will grow up in Apr 01 17:29:10 alright Apr 01 17:29:43 Will you have the portrait of Jana and Dietlinde copied to display there too? Apr 01 17:30:09 That wouldn't be too difficult for you? Apr 01 17:30:16 Why would it? Apr 01 17:31:41 * Morgan shrugs Apr 01 17:32:33 Jana is my sons' sister. It is right that they know about her Apr 01 17:32:46 * Morgan nods, looking at the desk Apr 01 17:32:49 Alright love Apr 01 17:32:59 * Molly sighs quietly Apr 01 17:33:10 I've distressed you, I am sorry Apr 01 17:33:59 No... you've always been so good about including them as we go into our future Apr 01 17:36:28 They are family, my love... I want our children to have that link. I am not ashamed or resentful of your past. Apr 01 17:36:49 * Morgan nods Apr 01 17:36:51 ok Apr 01 17:37:01 * Molly watches his expression Apr 01 17:37:06 This you knew..." Apr 01 17:37:08 ? Apr 01 17:38:15 Yes but... we have always been on the move, I didn't... I wasn't sure you'd want that reminder when we are settling somewhere permanent Apr 01 17:39:00 I don't only think of them when there is a visible reminder, my love Apr 01 17:39:21 * Morgan nods Apr 01 17:39:54 * Molly leans against the desk, looking thoughtful Apr 01 17:40:13 I'd always have accepted having the portrait in our homes if you had wished... Apr 01 17:40:59 I know, I suppose Apr 01 17:41:07 You suppose? Apr 01 17:41:11 * Molly watches him Apr 01 17:42:53 I thought perhaps it would cause you consternation, that you would accept it but... not want it really Apr 01 17:44:00 * Molly shakes her head "I would have wanted your happiness and comfort. It would have given me happiness to have given you those things..." Apr 01 17:46:13 * Morgan nods Apr 01 17:46:14 Alright Apr 01 17:46:39 Now it feels natural, right. Apr 01 17:48:13 * Morgan nods Apr 01 17:51:08 I'm changing... I was so sure that you loved me enough.... I'd been convinced our friendship, your care for me, and your attraction had been too much to dismiss despite your efforts, and so you'd had to make a little gap for me to keep me... and then, in time, that you loved me just enough to make that gap one where I could be your wife. Feelings Apr 01 17:51:08 mild enough to not take up too much space, strong enough to not be walked away from. A compromise between what your really wanted and what you could tolerate... *she watches him, a little serious, a little tentative, but very vulnerable* Apr 01 17:52:48 * Morgan looks up to meet her eyes Apr 01 17:57:57 I do not see it that way now. How -strong- must those feelings have been to take a step forward from the shadows you'd wrapped yourself in? How -beautiful- must that dawn light have been to make you want to move out of the dark towards it not knowing if it could disappear in an instant? How much must your heart have yearned to feel alive again for Apr 01 17:57:58 you to reach out a nervous hand not knowing if I'd accept you as you were, to your mind flawed, broken and hollow? How -powerfully- must you have felt for me to strip your soul that bare again and risk everything once more? It was never mild... it was never "enough" Apr 01 17:58:31 * Morgan nods slowly, seriously Apr 01 17:58:44 * Molly watches him just as seriously Apr 01 17:59:29 * Molly doesn't speak Apr 01 18:00:57 You are correct Apr 01 18:04:37 You told me. You told me in the coffee shop in Carleon just after I got the Rose, whilst you were facing your return to Sudlachenburg. You told me that your feelings were not mild at all. Yet I continued to misread your shyness and reserve as reluctance, I continued to tell myself I wasn't worthy, that I would never live up, or be enough... I Apr 01 18:04:38 devalued your love for me, even though I wanted it so badly Apr 01 18:05:01 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 01 18:07:15 That was wrong of me. I didn't listen, I did not see how you loved through your actions and choices. I did not ask the questions I should have asked. I was a coward, because if "enough" was all I could have, I would hold on to that for dear life, because -my- feelings could not be set aside despite my efforts to do so. Apr 01 18:10:24 It caused you a great deal of pain Apr 01 18:10:39 Yes and no Apr 01 18:11:42 I don't understand Apr 01 18:14:10 It was painful to lose control of my feelings, and painful to be so afraid I would misstep and lose your friendship, then later on your love. It was painful to think that you must be feeling so guilty, so unhappy that you were feeling anything. Accepting that you could only love me enough wasn't particularly painful aside from a few moments, Apr 01 18:14:11 because having part of you was infinitely more wonderful than having none Apr 01 18:15:40 * Morgan nods, reaching out to take her hands Apr 01 18:15:56 * Molly gives them automatically Apr 01 18:17:24 I never, ever resented you for only loving me enough. I never thought that was purposeful. That was as much as you could give, you were doing everything you could Apr 01 18:17:44 Except you were wrong Apr 01 18:17:51 Yes I was Apr 01 18:18:32 But it is important that you know I never thought you were cruel, because that is something I know you hate people thinking of you Apr 01 18:18:49 * Morgan nods Apr 01 18:18:52 Yes... I do Apr 01 18:19:03 * Molly nods Apr 01 18:19:22 I am strangely grateful for Alarice poisoning me. Apr 01 18:20:08 Because I showed you that enough isn't what it was? Apr 01 18:24:14 Because I had to see that I wasn't as at peace as I thought I was. I had to see that the pain I felt at you not falling to pieces when I nearly died was a sign that I was not perfectly accepting that where we were was... *she thinks about it* ... that I could accept that you were not in extreme turmoil about it, as you were when you lost her. I Apr 01 18:24:14 suppose I'd started to feel hopeful that your love had strengthened since we'd married and been intimate. Apr 01 18:25:34 Right... Apr 01 18:27:10 I needed to feel that pain before I could show you. And then you told me how deeply you felt. I got what I had needed all along, your reassurance that I was wrong Apr 01 18:28:14 * Morgan nods Apr 01 18:32:24 I'd have stayed as we were, likely forever, had that not happened. You didn't know what I needed, and I didn't know I needed it either. We were happy, we had Varick, we were making a good impression on our Eisenfurst, turning Innesbruck around, making new friends, you and Edward had met without bloodshed and were at a truce, we were helping Mina Apr 01 18:32:25 have the man she loved. Everything was going very well. Apr 01 18:32:49 * Morgan nods Apr 01 18:34:36 We would have continued to be happy. If we'd continued on from the stables, and I hadn't started bleeding, we'd have continued to discover each other intimately I think. Apr 01 18:34:58 Aye, maybe Apr 01 18:35:10 * Molly watches him Apr 01 18:35:53 You are displeased... I have hurt you..? *she frowns a little, chewing her lip* Apr 01 18:36:06 No, love... no, you haven't Apr 01 18:36:18 * Molly nods, looking relieved Apr 01 18:36:39 I am sorry, for what an ass I was all that time. Apr 01 18:37:08 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 01 18:37:13 You need not concern yourself with that Apr 01 18:38:02 But I do, because if I had understood you better, -done- better, you would have had much more happiness Apr 01 18:38:37 But we would not be here, with our two sons, the most expensive thing in the world, sailing to unknown lands before we take control of a large chunk of Eisen Apr 01 18:39:10 Maybe... Apr 01 18:40:04 * Molly watches him "have I your forgiveness, for only understanding the You that I had in my head?" Apr 01 18:40:29 You did nothing to require forgiving Apr 01 18:40:44 * Molly nods slightly Apr 01 18:41:24 You did not know how much I loved you either, because I was reserved in my own love too? Apr 01 18:42:08 To an extent, yes Apr 01 18:42:21 * Molly nods Apr 01 18:42:56 And now? You do know now that you are the very centre of everything for me? Apr 01 18:43:35 * Morgan nods Apr 01 18:43:36 I do Apr 01 18:44:33 Good. *she takes a deep breath before exhaling* Apr 01 18:45:21 I swear, nursing is making me an emotional mess! Apr 01 18:46:09 * Morgan nods Apr 01 18:46:14 Its not unusual Apr 01 18:50:42 * Molly nods Apr 01 18:50:51 Are you alright? It was a lot Apr 01 18:54:10 It was indeed... but I am fine Apr 01 18:54:33 Good. Would you like to hold me, or I you? Apr 01 18:55:18 * Morgan nods, moving round the desk to wrap his arms around her Apr 01 18:57:26 * Molly pulls in close, her ear over his heart Apr 01 18:58:01 I love you, so fundamentally that there isn't a fraction of me that doesn't contain you. Apr 01 19:02:00 And I you, my love Apr 01 19:03:15 * Molly stays like this a few minutes before she says "alright, what order will we prioritise these adjustments in?" Apr 01 19:08:58 Not sure... what do you think? Apr 01 19:11:19 Hmmm... do we need to start their cottage first? Apr 01 19:11:33 Oh, absolutely Apr 01 19:11:47 * Molly nods Apr 01 19:12:32 That is the priority, but storage for blankets and cushions on the roof should take you no more than a few hours? Apr 01 19:12:51 * Morgan nods Apr 01 19:12:55 Shouldn't take long at all Apr 01 19:13:50 I'd like to make sure we have at least one very private outdoor place, and the roof seems like a good start Apr 01 19:14:25 * Morgan nods Apr 01 19:14:39 Already setup, just needs some organising for things to make it comfortable Apr 01 19:14:52 Unless you have me stood up, yes Apr 01 19:19:48 You'll need -and office immediately Apr 01 19:19:59 -an-* Apr 01 19:21:18 * Morgan nods Apr 01 19:21:21 I would think so, yes Apr 01 19:21:41 The Garden and Shed can wait? Apr 01 19:23:45 It may have to... Apr 01 19:25:11 You might start in the Autumn, during the times when you waiting for your cannon to reload? Apr 01 19:26:51 * Morgan blushes Apr 01 19:26:54 Start on what? Apr 01 19:27:06 Building the Garden and the Shed Apr 01 19:27:22 * Morgan nods Apr 01 19:27:27 Maybe. Apr 01 19:27:49 You will want one or both ready for when I am visibly increasing? Apr 01 19:28:03 I rather think so Apr 01 19:28:14 * Molly nods Apr 01 19:28:27 The summerhouse we will need quickly? Apr 01 19:29:11 I'd like to get that done as quickly as possible without impacting the building of their home Apr 01 19:29:36 * Molly nods Apr 01 19:29:52 As would I, so I have somewhere to dress and undress Apr 01 19:33:45 * Morgan nods Apr 01 19:34:43 We will swim naked, like in Graben? Apr 01 19:37:34 Perhaps... Apr 01 19:37:49 When we can get away with it, hmm? Apr 01 19:38:50 * Morgan nods Apr 01 19:40:02 Is it important to you to build these things yourself? Apr 01 19:40:26 Not really.... I'll get involved but, we need them to stand the test of time Apr 01 19:41:02 We could plan them and then ask Papa to see to it Apr 01 19:41:49 Depending on Dekker... Apr 01 19:42:01 * Molly nods Apr 01 19:42:37 We are going to be very busy with the situation with Florrie Apr 01 19:43:00 * Morgan nods Apr 01 19:43:02 aye Apr 01 19:43:14 * Molly nods Apr 01 19:43:49 Alright... we will see what Edward says tomorrow... *she moves away to finish her drink* Apr 01 19:44:30 * Morgan nods Apr 01 19:44:33 aye Apr 01 19:44:47 * Molly watches him Apr 01 19:44:57 Are you ready for bed? Apr 01 19:45:22 Ummm... I think I am Apr 01 19:45:40 Do you need longer to relax first? Apr 01 19:45:53 Relax? Apr 01 19:46:19 It has been quite intense at times tonight Apr 01 19:46:32 * Morgan nods Apr 01 19:46:56 Yes it has... but... I am trying to enjoy the peace of sleep while it lasts Apr 01 19:47:04 * Molly nods Apr 01 19:47:29 Apart from your wonderfully naughty dreams? Apr 01 19:47:34 * Morgan nods Apr 01 19:47:55 Though I did have one that wasn't... I was building HeinzHarolds cottage, and every time I put a brick in place, it fell off... Apr 01 19:48:12 * Molly tilts her head Apr 01 19:48:29 Like no matter how hard you try it doesn't work? Apr 01 19:49:03 Aye, a bit Apr 01 19:49:17 Are you feeling particularly frustrated? Apr 01 19:49:33 It was a few days ago... so... I don't recall Apr 01 19:49:41 * Molly nods Apr 01 19:49:50 It's likely just a dream Apr 01 19:50:18 * Morgan nods Apr 01 19:50:35 It might... might have been when I was still trying to persuade Betuana Apr 01 19:50:43 * Molly nods Apr 01 19:50:49 That makes sense Apr 01 19:52:02 I suppose so Apr 01 19:52:31 Maybe you'll dream something erotic again Apr 01 19:52:37 * Morgan shrugs Apr 01 19:52:41 We'll see I suppose Apr 01 19:53:51 * Molly nods, heading for the bedroom. It takes about fifteen minutes for them to get into bed and cuddled up Apr 01 19:54:17 [we navigated that conflict very well earlier, don't you think?] Apr 01 19:54:38 [I think so. Better than we used to] Apr 01 19:55:02 [we are making the lows less low, I think] Apr 01 19:56:15 [seems that way] Apr 01 19:56:26 [and the highs?] Apr 01 19:57:16 [they're higher, if anything] Apr 01 19:57:33 [that's wonderful, don't you think?] Apr 01 19:57:42 [I do, yes] Apr 01 19:58:08 [are you ready to sleep?] Apr 01 19:58:25 [Yes love, I am] Apr 01 19:58:36 [good night, liebling] Apr 01 20:00:12 [goodnight my love] Apr 01 20:08:02 *he starts to dream. He's in the lavender bedroom at Hafenlohr. Molly is bent over the dresser, reflected at three angles by the mirrors. All she's wearing is a petticoat he's pushed up, and he's fully dressed as he slams into her. There's a bowl of milk there, and he has one hand on her full swollen belly, index finger on the belly button made Apr 01 20:08:03 almost flat by her pregnancy, and the other expressing the milk from her breast. He can see her face and her body, though the movements are forceful slams enough to make them shake an her perfume bottles clink together, her hands braced. She smells so very good to him pregnant, and she moans loudly, very close. "Fuck! Liebes herz! That's... so... Apr 01 20:08:03 good! Try to get the milk in the bowl!" It's actually going everywhere, his ardour and urgency making him careless, onto the mirrors, on her cosmetics, and he doesn't have any thought about it whatsoever. When he wakes, his face is pressed to her pillow, on his front when he's very hard and that scent seems to linger in his brain* Apr 01 20:10:34 * Morgan tries to get a clue of the time Apr 01 20:11:01 *it's about four, and she isn't in bed* Apr 01 20:11:10 [love?] Apr 01 20:11:18 * Morgan shuffles across the bed to check Amir Apr 01 20:11:59 [I'm just nursing him, he was fidgeting. Are you alright?] Apr 01 20:12:22 [Yes love. Unusual for him to wake this early] Apr 01 20:12:42 [it was only a little, and I was rather full again] Apr 01 20:13:09 [oh, alright] Apr 01 20:13:28 [did you have a nightmare?] Apr 01 20:13:57 [quite the opposite] Apr 01 20:14:18 [that's not ideal timing...] Apr 01 20:15:01 [no, it really isn't] Apr 01 20:15:17 [do you wish to wait, or are you keen to take matters in hand?] Apr 01 20:16:36 * Morgan yawns Apr 01 20:16:43 [I'll wait if that suits you] Apr 01 20:17:05 [arousing as the other option is, yes it does] Apr 01 20:17:57 [alright love] Apr 01 20:18:06 * Morgan waits, gently stroking himself Apr 01 20:19:30 * Molly is back in a couple of minutes later, naked and carrying the sleeping baby to the crib. There's not much light at all from the thin moon outside. She whispers Apr 01 20:19:37 Are you still awake? Apr 01 20:21:12 * Morgan doesn't reply, just waiting Apr 01 20:21:36 * Molly sighs quietly before getting into bed very carefully Apr 01 20:24:17 * Morgan presses himself to her, very obviously still hard Apr 01 20:24:35 * Molly moans softly Apr 01 20:26:03 Mmmm *she brings her hand down, fingers just featherlight up the side of him, still whispering* you're very hard, my love Apr 01 20:26:56 * Morgan nods, also whispering Apr 01 20:27:00 You wished me to wait for you Apr 01 20:27:37 Yes... I'm sorry it took so long Apr 01 20:27:49 Its fine love Apr 01 20:28:15 * Molly wraps her hand around him Apr 01 20:28:28 I thought you might fall asleep or lose interest Apr 01 20:29:17 Unlikely. The dream I had was quite... arousing Apr 01 20:29:34 * Molly strokes him gently Apr 01 20:30:04 Do you wish to tell me? Or is your need too great? Apr 01 20:30:24 It is definitely too great Apr 01 20:30:50 Tell me what you need me to do for you... Apr 01 20:32:50 I wish to take you Apr 01 20:33:06 Wherever and however you wish, my love Apr 01 20:35:05 * Morgan nods, turning her on her side to enter her from behind Apr 01 20:36:07 * Molly arches her back, gasping quietly "wow, that's good" Apr 01 20:36:34 * Morgan blows out a breath before starting to thrust into her Apr 01 20:37:06 * Molly grinds back to him Apr 01 20:38:01 Oh god Apr 01 20:38:21 Mmmhmmm that's good? Apr 01 20:38:36 So good Apr 01 20:39:25 * Molly grinds more, deeper, rolling her hips "you're so very hard, my love..." Apr 01 20:40:52 * Morgan grunts quietly, picking up a bit of speed Apr 01 20:42:09 * Molly arches again, then moans quietly once more, pushing back to give him as much depth as she can Apr 01 20:42:22 Oh fuck Apr 01 20:42:39 * Morgan weaves the fingers of one hand into her hair Apr 01 20:42:57 * Molly nods a little Apr 01 20:43:12 Yes... I like that... Apr 01 20:44:46 * Morgan gently balls his fist near her scalp as he fucks her Apr 01 20:45:39 * Molly starts to fidget more, breathing harder whilst pushing back to match his rhythm Apr 01 20:45:47 That feels amazing! Apr 01 20:48:07 God yes Apr 01 20:48:34 You can... be as rough... as you need Apr 01 20:49:03 * Morgan nods, starting to fuck her in earnest Apr 01 20:50:21 * Molly reaches back, taking his other hand and bringing it to her breast Apr 01 20:51:33 * Morgan squeezes it, pinching gently at her nipple Apr 01 20:52:22 * Molly moans quietly again, but it's more suppressed than he can tell it normally would be Apr 01 20:52:32 That's good Apr 01 20:53:36 * Morgan pinches harder, pulling her head back with his other hand Apr 01 20:54:29 * Molly shudders, climaxing immediately, and his fingers get hot and wet Apr 01 20:55:06 * Morgan keeps fucking her as he swells, stretching her further until he starts pulsing inside her Apr 01 20:56:18 * Molly peaks again, face turned into the pillow to muffle the sound she makes, grinding to him as deep as she can Apr 01 20:58:09 Fuck. Oh fuck Apr 01 20:58:58 God I love how you say that! Apr 01 21:00:27 * Morgan grinds into her briefly before stopping, laying back Apr 01 21:00:59 * Molly turns towards him Apr 01 21:01:09 Is that better, my love? Apr 01 21:01:21 * Morgan nods Apr 01 21:01:26 Yes love, so much better Apr 01 21:01:43 * Molly nods Apr 01 21:02:22 Good. I'd snuggle up but I expect the warmth and pressure would make me let down again, and he didn't take much Apr 01 21:02:53 I think... that -might- have started when I was squeezing... Apr 01 21:03:02 * Molly nods Apr 01 21:03:20 It did, not very much though Apr 01 21:03:46 Enough to feel very pleasurable and arousing though Apr 01 21:03:51 * Morgan nods Apr 01 21:03:52 Good Apr 01 21:04:13 * Molly gently lays a hand on his chest Apr 01 21:04:26 That was incredible Apr 01 21:05:03 * Morgan nods Apr 01 21:05:06 Yes, it was Apr 01 21:05:25 Are you ready to sleep again? Apr 01 21:06:04 Yes love Apr 01 21:06:21 You'll tell me about the dream in the morning? Apr 01 21:08:46 * Morgan nods Apr 01 21:08:49 Yes, I will Apr 01 21:09:20 * Molly kisses his cheek before settling to sleep Apr 01 21:09:37 * Morgan settle back down Apr 01 21:10:28 *he doesn't dream anything more, just waking with the dawn watch an hour before dawn* Apr 01 21:10:45 * Morgan stretches, quietly getting out of bed and getting dressed Apr 01 21:11:00 *neither mother nor child wake* Apr 01 21:11:48 * Morgan heads out, taking his usual route via the galley up on deck Apr 01 21:11:58 **Inga is in the galley, dressed already** Apr 01 21:12:01 * Molly is now known as Inga Apr 01 21:12:39 Good morning Apr 01 21:12:53 Morning love... what's got you up so early? Apr 01 21:13:20 Heinzharold woke me talking in his sleep, and I couldn't drift off again Apr 01 21:13:46 That unusual for him? Apr 01 21:14:05 Once every few weeks Apr 01 21:14:56 Whats' he talk about? Apr 01 21:15:07 * Inga giggles Apr 01 21:15:26 He said "Stand up Heinzharold! No! Cock down!" Apr 01 21:15:47 * Morgan laughs Apr 01 21:15:50 Oh dear Apr 01 21:16:04 *she reaches past him to get a cup, and he can see a bite mark just below the crease where her thumb joins her hand* Apr 01 21:16:16 I'll ask him when he wakes what he was dreaming Apr 01 21:16:24 * Morgan nods Apr 01 21:16:30 Good night, I take it... Apr 01 21:16:43 * Inga looks at it, smiling Apr 01 21:16:46 Yes it was Apr 01 21:17:51 * Inga looks up at his expression, whether he's blushing Apr 01 21:18:10 * Morgan smiles, blushing a little Apr 01 21:18:24 if you think that one is bad… *she glances around the empty galley before pushing up her right sleeve. There are three very deep bites there, almost but not quite breaking the skin, and a love bite* Apr 01 21:18:41 Good lord Apr 01 21:18:47 * Inga giggles Apr 01 21:20:21 They're not the worst I've ever done, but nearly Apr 01 21:20:39 See, we're just going to use a gag Apr 01 21:20:54 * Inga looks a little surprised Apr 01 21:21:15 I find it a bit claustrophobic Apr 01 21:21:38 * Morgan blushes Apr 01 21:22:04 * Inga looks intrigued "you like the feel of it though?" Apr 01 21:22:25 Of what? Apr 01 21:22:30 The gag Apr 01 21:22:49 I haven't worn one Apr 01 21:23:07 Oh... it's just that you blushed Apr 01 21:23:54 Just... a bit more bold than perhaps I intended thats all Apr 01 21:24:17 * Inga shrugs "sorry" Apr 01 21:25:29 Don't be. Not that long ago I wouldn't have dared say it Apr 01 21:25:56 * Inga nods, smiling and rolling her sleeve down "it's good" Apr 01 21:26:35 * Morgan nods Apr 01 21:27:49 * Inga gets on with the coffee Apr 01 21:28:09 Are you and Molly alright? Heinzharold thought there was trouble on the horizon Apr 01 21:28:38 We're fine. I upset her, but I've apologised Apr 01 21:29:03 Do you want me to talk to her, check she's okay? Apr 01 21:29:46 If you want to, but I am sure we're fine. She does always love talking to you though Apr 01 21:31:43 * Inga smiles "will she be awake with Amir already?" Apr 01 21:32:04 They weren't when I got up... Apr 01 21:32:09 [are you awake my love? Apr 01 21:33:04 [hmmm? More?] Apr 01 21:33:21 [no love... Inga was asking if you're awake, thats all] Apr 01 21:33:47 [oh... a pity. I could be if she needs me] Apr 01 21:34:06 [she wants to check you're alright. HeinzHarold picked up on last nights tension] Apr 01 21:34:30 [alright, I will umm... get ready and get up] Apr 01 21:34:46 She'll be dressed in a few minutes love Apr 01 21:35:14 Thank you, that's very useful, isn't it? Apr 01 21:36:21 * Morgan nods Apr 01 21:36:39 It is, very much so Apr 01 21:36:58 Heinzharold said you were teasing her with it and that's why she was so fidgety Apr 01 21:37:15 * Morgan nods Apr 01 21:37:30 We can send eachother images... we were sending some quite rude things Apr 01 21:37:47 * Inga smiles "like from your dreams?" Apr 01 21:37:58 Or my imagination Apr 01 21:38:16 It looked like it was working, Apr 01 21:39:10 Oh it definitely was Apr 01 21:39:42 * Inga smiles Apr 01 21:39:54 You could have told us to go away, we don't mind Apr 01 21:40:08 But thats part of the fun, isn't it? The teasing? Apr 01 21:40:20 * Inga nods Apr 01 21:40:41 For a little while. I get very grumpy if he draws it out too long Apr 01 21:41:49 So I hear Apr 01 21:41:59 * Inga giggles Apr 01 21:42:02 Oh dear Apr 01 21:42:34 * Morgan laughs Apr 01 21:43:52 I'm so pleased that you and Molly has so much fun and you aren't Saint Morgan anymore Apr 01 21:44:29 * Morgan nods Apr 01 21:44:32 So am I love Apr 01 21:45:18 * Inga puts his coffee in front of him Apr 01 21:45:32 What do -you- think about the Capperlucia clothes? Apr 01 21:46:11 * Morgan shrugs Apr 01 21:46:27 HeinzHarold got very possessive over that Apr 01 21:47:14 * Inga nods Apr 01 21:47:22 It's quite hot Apr 01 21:47:58 Oh? Apr 01 21:48:21 Everyone likes to be handled possessively, don't they? Apr 01 21:48:57 * Morgan nods Apr 01 21:49:00 I suppose they do Apr 01 21:50:06 Do you think it's too revealing? Apr 01 21:50:41 In all honesty, I don't really have a say about it Apr 01 21:52:03 But you must have a feeling about it? What do you feel when you think of Molly wearing it? Apr 01 21:53:19 I'm reluctant... I don't want... I suppose, if their men are so enlightened, its only our crew seeing her dressed that way bothers me Apr 01 21:53:37 * Inga nods Apr 01 21:53:50 I think that's understandable Apr 01 21:54:14 * Morgan nods Apr 01 21:54:35 I think we'd both look pretty though? Apr 01 21:55:03 My dear Inga, are you feeling a little insecure? Apr 01 21:55:31 Maybe. I might look very top heavy Apr 01 21:56:07 You don't need to hide it from me, y'know. But, to answer your question, I think you'll both look amazing Apr 01 21:58:12 * Inga blushes "thank you. We're going to look so pale compared to them" Apr 01 21:59:25 * Morgan nods Apr 01 21:59:27 All of us will Apr 01 21:59:50 Heinzharold will look gorgeous Apr 01 22:00:05 He'll tan, too. Most of you will. Apr 01 22:06:23 That will look so pretty with Molly's coloring Apr 01 22:06:33 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Apr 01 22:06:41 I'm a bit jealous Apr 01 22:06:46 Why? Apr 01 22:06:54 * Morgan smiles slightly Apr 01 22:07:01 Scar tissue doesn't tan Apr 01 22:07:22 You'll look like a tiger Apr 01 22:07:49 No, I'll have a tanned belly and thats about it Apr 01 22:08:21 * Inga smiles Apr 01 22:08:28 That sounds cute Apr 01 22:10:52 I don't do cute Apr 01 22:11:03 Besides, I only found that out the first year Apr 01 22:12:40 * Inga giggles Apr 01 22:12:51 Were you strutting around shirtless? Apr 01 22:13:59 I wish it were that innocent. Its while my back was healing, and I noticed that only the parts that weren't scarred tanned... now about the only place without scars is my stomach and centre of my upper chest, so... Apr 01 22:14:28 We have to keep Molly away from Kauffmann Apr 01 22:14:42 * Morgan nods Apr 01 22:14:45 She really hates him Apr 01 22:15:12 Who wouldn't? Look how much Heinzharold hated Dreiser Apr 01 22:15:57 Yes but... I was being punished for what I did... Apr 01 22:17:17 But that was the right thing to do Apr 01 22:17:43 * Morgan nods Apr 01 22:18:09 Yes, it was... but I defied orders and there had to be some punishment for it Apr 01 22:18:23 * Inga giggles Apr 01 22:18:31 They should have just spanked you Apr 01 22:18:50 God that would've been humiliating Apr 01 22:19:00 * Inga nods Apr 01 22:19:27 That's the point isn't it? Apr 01 22:19:46 * Morgan shrugs Apr 01 22:20:12 He wasn't interested in humiliation. He wanted pain. Although, what he -actually- wanted was for my punishment to be for mutiny Apr 01 22:20:28 It was lucky he didn't manage that Apr 01 22:20:45 * Morgan nods Apr 01 22:20:58 I've had a distaste for that sort of punishment since Apr 01 22:21:15 * Inga nods Apr 01 22:21:20 It's not nice Apr 01 22:21:31 * Morgan shakes his head, sipping his coffee Apr 01 22:22:29 Are you in command today? Apr 01 22:24:06 * Morgan nods Apr 01 22:24:09 Aye, I am Apr 01 22:25:20 You must be looking forward to some time off? Apr 01 22:25:30 * Morgan smiles slightly Apr 01 22:26:14 Not so much as you'd think. Command is what I spent my career working towards, what the six year old me wanted to do Apr 01 22:26:41 [don't you think it's odd that we call it "taking matters in hand" for self-pleasure, but "taking her in hand" means domestic chastisement?] Apr 01 22:27:12 Aren't you tempted to stay on the ship a bit longer? Apr 01 22:27:34 * Morgan blinks a couple of times Apr 01 22:27:41 [yes. Yes it is] Apr 01 22:28:12 I'm genuinely torn. As much as I'm glad we'll be getting home sooner... part of me is disappointed we won't be at sea as long Apr 01 22:28:34 You and Molly were going to do this for three years, weren't you? Apr 01 22:28:40 * Morgan nods Apr 01 22:28:44 Yes, we were Apr 01 22:28:59 But you want babies more? Apr 01 22:30:50 * Morgan nods Apr 01 22:31:15 I've spent -years- away from home. I just... I want to go home, Inga. Apr 01 22:32:09 * Inga opens her arms to him Apr 01 22:32:20 * Morgan smiles, hugging her Apr 01 22:32:38 * Inga hugs him Apr 01 22:32:40 Me too Apr 01 22:33:12 You should've stayed home... you didn't need to be dragged halfway round the world Apr 01 22:33:34 And miss seeing Heinzharold in a skirt? *she giggles* Apr 01 22:34:29 Could've just bought him one if we'd known thats your thing... Apr 01 22:35:03 * Inga shakes her head "it's not my thing" Apr 01 22:35:12 * Morgan laughs Apr 01 22:36:14 I do like him bottom though Apr 01 22:36:19 His* Apr 01 22:37:21 Just not in a skirt... Apr 01 22:38:23 His thighs will look good in a skirt though Apr 01 22:39:08 I'll take your word for that love Apr 01 22:39:12 I'm not sure about that underwear though. In the wrong situation he'll pop over the top of it! Apr 01 22:39:21 * Morgan blushes Apr 01 22:40:19 * Inga giggles "it would look cute with those tops though. Even if he won't let me wear them in public, I'm going to get some for private" Apr 01 22:40:51 * Morgan nods Apr 01 22:41:02 Might get some to take home for Molly too Apr 01 22:41:45 * Inga nods Apr 01 22:41:59 To go with all her lingerie Apr 01 22:43:39 * Morgan nods Apr 01 22:43:52 It'll actually be really comfortable for being pregnant in the summer Apr 01 22:44:42 * Inga smiles "she's so excited about it" Apr 01 22:45:38 * Morgan nods Apr 01 22:45:44 Me too Apr 01 22:46:36 It's a shame it's not sooner Apr 01 22:46:49 * Morgan nods Apr 01 22:46:51 It is what it is Apr 01 22:46:56 * Inga nods Apr 01 22:47:17 I might wear those things if I'm pregnant in the summer Apr 01 22:47:41 * Morgan nods Apr 01 22:47:54 Don't see why not, if its comfortable Apr 01 22:48:06 * Inga nods Apr 01 22:48:46 Heinzharold said you were asking about why I don't want to let Molly take away the herbs' effect Apr 01 22:48:54 * Morgan nods Apr 01 22:48:58 Aye, I was Apr 01 22:50:33 I think it'll be easier to become with child once we're not on the ship, so I'm not tired and sick all the time. If it happens before we get back it'll be okay, but I don't mind waiting until we're on dry land Apr 01 22:51:50 * Morgan nods, looking slightly sad Apr 01 22:52:05 Sorry, it's difficult? Apr 01 22:52:29 No... its just... another thing you wouldn't have to be waiting for if we'd not dragged you to sea Apr 01 22:54:30 No one dragged us Apr 01 22:54:53 Even so. Apr 01 22:55:22 No, Please don't think that way. We want to be with you all Apr 01 22:56:20 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Apr 01 22:57:12 You've needed us Apr 01 22:57:54 Yes, we have Apr 01 22:58:48 Maybe you wouldn't have adopted Amir without us? Apr 01 22:59:38 What makes you think that? Apr 01 23:01:10 Because you and Molly fell out so much about his birth father Apr 01 23:04:49 HeinzHarold wasn't trying to be the peace keeper in that, y'know Apr 01 23:05:53 * Inga nods Apr 01 23:06:04 Yes, I know what was said between him and Molly. Apr 01 23:06:57 * Morgan takes a deep breath, letting it out slowly Apr 01 23:07:04 It was a miserable few days Apr 01 23:07:10 * Inga nods Apr 01 23:07:30 She was terrified you were leaving her Apr 01 23:08:11 * Morgan nods Apr 01 23:08:21 I can't even begin to describe how badly I was hurting Apr 01 23:08:30 * Inga nods Apr 01 23:09:13 I think she knows better now. She needed to learn that she can't sacrifice herself like that Apr 01 23:09:54 * Morgan nods Apr 01 23:09:55 aye Apr 01 23:11:02 Having Heinzharold and I here gives you someone to talk to about your fights Apr 01 23:12:01 * Morgan nods Apr 01 23:12:52 I don't always like to... usually I'm being told to back down, which, when its not me at fault... I find that -incredibly- difficult, and quite disrespectful Apr 01 23:13:49 * Inga nods Apr 01 23:14:26 Sometimes when Heinzharold and I disagree I think "do I want to be right, or do I want us to be happy?" Apr 01 23:15:17 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Apr 01 23:15:36 But at what point do you say enough is enough, I'm not wrong, why should I be the one to back down? Apr 01 23:15:59 We don't usually have anything that big to fight about Apr 01 23:17:25 * Morgan nods Apr 01 23:19:07 We also try to do something his Da taught him, and when something comes up we say "I feel" whatever it is "and I need" Apr 01 23:19:47 * Morgan nods Apr 01 23:20:00 Da was a special sort of man Apr 01 23:20:49 * Inga smiles "it helps. Maybe it would help you and Molly?" Apr 01 23:20:55 * Morgan nods Apr 01 23:21:00 We're getting a bit closer to it I think Apr 01 23:21:09 * Inga nods Apr 01 23:21:27 I'm glad, it's nice to see you two loved up Apr 01 23:21:48 Not quite as much as in your dream, mind you! Apr 01 23:22:18 Ppffff, should've seen last nights. Jeez... Apr 01 23:22:34 Oh my goodness! A new one already? Apr 01 23:22:54 Think that one might be a bit much Apr 01 23:23:01 * Inga laughs Apr 01 23:23:14 That must be very dirty then! Apr 01 23:23:39 Was she still asleep because you disturbed her sleep?! Apr 01 23:24:07 -I- didn't disturb her sleep... but... I kept her awake a little longer... Apr 01 23:24:42 She really doesn't mind it? Apr 01 23:25:31 No, she really doesn't Apr 01 23:25:55 Maybe I should just try it... *she sips her coffee* Apr 01 23:26:36 At worst, you get an orgasm, are a bit grumpy and go back to sleep Apr 01 23:26:57 * Inga giggles Apr 01 23:27:07 If it's only one you're doing it wrong Apr 01 23:27:33 In my defence it -was- four in the morning... Apr 01 23:28:14 Oh I know you normally do many more than that Apr 01 23:28:56 * Morgan blushes Apr 01 23:28:57 I try Apr 01 23:30:38 I know, you told me. It's intoxicating, you said Apr 01 23:31:45 * Morgan nods, blushing Apr 01 23:31:47 Yes, it is Apr 01 23:32:17 * Inga smiles Apr 01 23:32:30 That's nice. Heinzharold is a bit like that too Apr 01 23:32:40 * Morgan nods Apr 01 23:32:51 I recall being told he is very generous Apr 01 23:32:59 * Inga nods Apr 01 23:33:32 He is. After what his Ma said about his Da saying real men made sure their women were satisfied, I think he gets it from him Apr 01 23:34:07 * Morgan nods Apr 01 23:34:16 probably. He's getting more and more like Da Apr 01 23:35:19 * Inga smiles Apr 01 23:35:27 He'd be pleased about that Apr 01 23:35:42 * Morgan nods Apr 01 23:35:46 He should be Apr 01 23:37:36 * Inga nods Apr 01 23:37:44 Are you getting more like him too? Apr 01 23:38:25 In some ways, I suppose Apr 01 23:39:57 * Inga nods "are you pleased about that?" Apr 01 23:40:15 * Morgan smiles Apr 01 23:40:22 Always. Apr 01 23:41:56 * Inga nods "I like you. I think you're a good man" Apr 01 23:42:07 * Morgan smiles shyly Apr 01 23:42:14 That means an enormous amount to me Apr 01 23:42:46 * Inga smiles "Molly is lucky to have you" Apr 01 23:44:28 Rather think its the other way round Apr 01 23:45:19 Maybe you're both lucky. I'm stopping you getting out for dawn Apr 01 23:45:45 'S been nice though Apr 01 23:46:10 * Inga nods "I'll go and see Molly now" Apr 01 23:46:25 Alright love. I'll see you later Apr 01 23:46:43 * Inga nods, taking coffee with her Apr 01 23:47:59 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Apr 01 23:57:43 * Inga has quit (Ping Timeout)
