**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Apr 2 00:49:22 2023 Apr 02 00:49:22 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 02 00:51:37 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 02 02:36:24 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 02 02:38:17 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 02 18:07:56 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.150) has joined Apr 02 18:19:39 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 02 18:19:46 * MollyK is now known as Claudia Apr 02 18:20:47 * Claudia is in command as she said she would be when he gets there, already moving as first light is earlier here Apr 02 18:21:14 * Morgan wanders over to her, yawning Apr 02 18:21:15 hey Apr 02 18:21:28 Morning. Rough night? Apr 02 18:24:46 No, it was fine, just woke up when Amir was fussing Apr 02 18:24:58 * Claudia nods Apr 02 18:25:39 I had a dream that Heinzharold had an extra bellybutton and every time Molly tried to get rid of it it appeared somewhere else on his body Apr 02 18:27:29 That's... weird. Apr 02 18:27:34 * Claudia nods Apr 02 18:27:39 No shit Apr 02 18:29:33 Apparently he's been talking in his sleep, talking shit Apr 02 18:30:15 * Claudia laughs Apr 02 18:30:24 I thought he'd grown out of it Apr 02 18:31:05 Apparently not Apr 02 18:31:12 * Claudia nods Apr 02 18:31:13 Once a month or so by all accounts Apr 02 18:31:30 What did he say? Apr 02 18:32:13 Stand up HeinzHarold... No! Cock down! Apr 02 18:32:42 * Claudia sniggers Apr 02 18:32:49 Like "man down!"? Apr 02 18:33:03 I dunno, I didn't ask for any more detail... Apr 02 18:33:14 * Claudia nods Apr 02 18:33:33 Probably best. How's Molly about the meeting now? Apr 02 18:34:24 More relaxed... HeinzHarold didn't bloody help, but I've reassured her Apr 02 18:35:09 What did he do? Apr 02 18:35:42 Bleating on about it being a lot to ask for them to behave themselves, with the clothing involved Apr 02 18:36:02 Oh yeah. Not like him to be so bothered Apr 02 18:36:23 Not sure he'll allow Inga to wear it Apr 02 18:37:29 * Claudia scoffs Apr 02 18:37:45 You wonder why I'd hate being married?! Apr 02 18:42:10 Because you'd beat him to death Apr 02 18:44:17 I don't want to wear their revealing clothes, but I wanna choose it myself, not because a man commands me Apr 02 18:45:03 * Morgan nods Apr 02 18:46:32 But thats where some mutual respect comes into it isn't it Apr 02 18:47:51 * Claudia shrugs Apr 02 18:48:08 I don't believe in giving anyone dominion over me Apr 02 18:48:24 I don't believe thats what it is Apr 02 18:48:43 What does -she- want? Apr 02 18:49:02 * Morgan shrugs Apr 02 18:49:18 I don't know. She's actually a bit self conscious about it, thinks she'll look off balance Apr 02 18:49:33 She's very busty Apr 02 18:49:55 I had noticed Apr 02 18:50:36 * Claudia nods Apr 02 18:50:41 Impossible not to Apr 02 18:51:05 * Morgan nods Apr 02 18:51:53 She'd look fine Apr 02 18:52:09 I think so Apr 02 18:53:11 I'm not self-conscious, I just don't see the point in making men more lecherous Apr 02 18:53:41 We'll see if what we've been told about the culture there holds true Apr 02 18:57:17 * Claudia nods Apr 02 18:57:34 Not long now Apr 02 18:58:05 * Morgan nods Apr 02 18:58:21 Yeah. Apr 02 18:58:42 We've had this view so many days it's gonna seem odd when we see land Apr 02 18:59:18 * Morgan nods Apr 02 18:59:32 Poor guy in the nest will be like 'what the fuck is that?!' Apr 02 19:01:17 * Claudia laughs "yeah. It's going to be weird seeing other people. And walking on dry land again. It's been years since I've been at sea this long" Apr 02 19:01:50 * Morgan nods Apr 02 19:01:56 And our duties were somewhat different then Apr 02 19:03:14 Much less political bullshit Apr 02 19:05:09 Too bloody true Apr 02 19:06:59 It's been a while since I've hit anyone Apr 02 19:07:29 * Morgan nods Apr 02 19:07:31 Me too actually Apr 02 19:07:43 Since Jura? Apr 02 19:08:13 ah... I'd forgotten about him. Besides, I didn't -hit- him Apr 02 19:08:26 Close enough Apr 02 19:09:04 It is semantics, yes Apr 02 19:09:19 * Claudia nods Apr 02 19:10:18 How are you getting on with Molly feeding Amir now? You were a bit unsettled last time I mentioned it Apr 02 19:10:44 * Morgan shrugs Apr 02 19:11:12 Fine. Its a bit odd, going straight to that, with no pregnancy first... Apr 02 19:12:49 * Claudia nods Apr 02 19:13:04 I suppose you get used to weird shit happening to her body Apr 02 19:13:34 * Morgan nods Apr 02 19:13:50 I'd forgotten the impact on the emotions that feeding has, too Apr 02 19:14:38 Oh god, causing trouble is it? Apr 02 19:15:23 Not really. Just made her more emotional... Apr 02 19:16:54 * Claudia glances at him "... than normal"? Apr 02 19:17:11 * Morgan nods Apr 02 19:18:51 I upset her last night... hurt her feelings. Don't worry though, I dealt with it Apr 02 19:19:03 * Claudia nods a little Apr 02 19:19:35 She seems to get hurt easily, but you wouldn't want a wife who wasn't a "feeler" Apr 02 19:19:59 No, if our places were reversed I'd have been deeply hurt Apr 02 19:20:13 * Claudia nods Apr 02 19:20:41 Glad you've fixed it without being at odds again Apr 02 19:21:23 * Morgan nods Apr 02 19:21:28 I was in the wrong. Apr 02 19:21:36 * Claudia nods Apr 02 19:21:41 Hard to admit sometimes Apr 02 19:21:48 * Morgan nods Apr 02 19:21:52 Yeah, it is. Apr 02 19:22:17 My step-mother was a complete bitch when she was nursing Apr 02 19:22:29 Oh? Apr 02 19:23:08 My Father said to her one day "Are you on the rag again?! You only just had a baby!" Apr 02 19:23:38 * Morgan closes his eyes, shaking his head Apr 02 19:24:13 She told him to go fuck himself. She was still giving him the silent treatment two weeks later Apr 02 19:25:55 Thats just biting your nose off to spite your face Apr 02 19:27:27 It's a horrible way to live for kids. They sniped at each other loads when he was home. When he wasn't, she'd take it out on the rest of us. He wasn't wrong, she was fucking horrible one week a month, and pretty bad the rest of the time Apr 02 19:31:17 * Morgan nods Apr 02 19:32:28 Before the herbs, Molly gets a bit... fight Apr 02 19:33:56 * Claudia nods Apr 02 19:34:10 I get even less able to tolerate people's bullshit Apr 02 19:34:27 Really? I hadn't noticed Apr 02 19:34:48 You can tell any difference? Apr 02 19:36:59 A bit Apr 02 19:37:30 Men would be no better if it happened to them Apr 02 19:37:48 Oh god, we'd be worse Apr 02 19:37:59 * Claudia nods Apr 02 19:39:50 Definitely. Makes me glad I'll never have to nurse *she shudders. It's a far cry from the happiness at having a small baby named after her mother in his dream* Apr 02 19:41:33 * Morgan watches her for a beat before shrugging Apr 02 19:43:12 Was Dietlinde all over the place emotionally too then? Apr 02 19:45:01 * Morgan nods Apr 02 19:45:05 There was a lot of crying Apr 02 19:46:03 Just something to deal with then? Apr 02 19:47:42 * Morgan nods Apr 02 19:47:44 Oh, yeah Apr 02 19:48:25 How long before she stops? Apr 02 19:48:43 * Morgan shrugs Apr 02 19:48:51 It'll start getting easier for her now... bit by bit Apr 02 19:49:02 I mean the nursing Apr 02 19:51:40 Oh... tough to say Apr 02 19:53:12 You're not bothered? Apr 02 19:53:33 We'll have eight of our own, she's going to be nursing a -lot- Apr 02 19:53:51 * Claudia shrugs Apr 02 19:54:27 Fair enough. You going to be pining and moaning when she's at work? Apr 02 19:54:57 Gonn' be busy with the boys... and there's climbing walls... Apr 02 19:56:32 * Claudia nods Apr 02 19:56:53 Heinzharold gonna be with you? Apr 02 19:57:07 I'm not sure... need to talk to them about it really Apr 02 19:57:14 * Claudia nods Apr 02 19:57:44 And reminding the crew that Molly is counting on them and we'll beat them to death if they let her down? Apr 02 19:58:07 * Morgan nods Apr 02 19:58:10 Quite so Apr 02 20:00:33 * Claudia nods. Eventually the time comes when she hands over and he takes command Apr 02 20:01:08 * Morgan does his usual, going round and checking in with each of the crew Apr 02 20:02:14 *This is is final morning command before they're due to arrive. There's a lingering sense of his time to do this being short. It's warm and sunny, more like May than Mid-february. It's very warm in his coat. The shift is very peaceful, and the crew seem at ease* Apr 02 20:02:24 His* Apr 02 20:03:10 * Morgan grumbles about the heat as he goes about Apr 02 20:04:51 *there's some singing, the sea so cooperative with their travel that there's no challenge to being in command* Apr 02 20:06:07 * Morgan spends a little time with his hand pressed to the mainmast as he looks around Apr 02 20:06:49 *It's all nice, just living his childhood dream for a few hours. HH comes up just before midday when Morgan has just handed over to Rieker* Apr 02 20:06:52 * Claudia is now known as HH Apr 02 20:07:04 Hey, how you doin'? Apr 02 20:08:28 * Morgan sighs, nodding Apr 02 20:08:31 I'm good Apr 02 20:08:54 Uh yeah, I sigh like that every time I'm good too (!) Apr 02 20:10:14 My last morning in command before we make land. Just feels a bit like times slipped away Apr 02 20:10:33 Still got lotsa weeks home yet! Apr 02 20:10:56 Yeah, I know... still... Apr 02 20:13:09 * HH nods Apr 02 20:13:31 Wasn' expectin it to be over that quick Apr 02 20:13:56 No... not entirely happy about it Apr 02 20:14:04 * HH nods Apr 02 20:14:17 Molly said y' can go sail a bit though Apr 02 20:16:00 * Morgan nods Apr 02 20:16:02 aye Apr 02 20:17:28 Mebbie you should take her up on it Apr 02 20:19:26 Aye, maybe. We'll see as things progress I suppose Apr 02 20:20:25 * HH nods "have a good night?" Apr 02 20:20:35 * Morgan nods Apr 02 20:20:50 Yeah... woke up about four after a dream, and Amir was fussing Apr 02 20:21:06 Damn, thought he was sleepin' through Apr 02 20:22:17 * Morgan shrugs Apr 02 20:22:22 Such is parenting Apr 02 20:23:07 * HH nods Apr 02 20:23:28 Molly seems pretty cheerful this mornin' despite it Apr 02 20:24:06 * Morgan nods Apr 02 20:24:14 I helped her get back to sleep Apr 02 20:24:22 * HH grins Apr 02 20:24:43 Y' did, didya? Rocked her a bit? Apr 02 20:25:01 yeah... sure... Apr 02 20:25:13 * HH sniggers Apr 02 20:25:40 Bounced her gently on yer lap... Apr 02 20:26:53 That would've been far too noisy Apr 02 20:27:02 * HH nods Apr 02 20:27:18 Yep, gotta be real quiet when there's sleeping passengers, man Apr 02 20:27:43 * Morgan nods Apr 02 20:29:27 * HH just smirks to himself before saying "must be time f' you to finish now?" Apr 02 20:30:04 * Morgan looks round the deck before nodding Apr 02 20:30:05 Aye, it is Apr 02 20:31:15 I got watch til four Apr 02 20:33:04 * Morgan nods, patting his shoulder Apr 02 20:33:07 I'll see you in a while Apr 02 20:33:58 * HH nods. Once he's collected more coffee he finds Inga, Varick, and Amir in the study Apr 02 20:34:02 * HH is now known as Inga Apr 02 20:35:00 * Inga and Varick are stuffing shredded sail fabric into a case of the same. Amir is surrounded by blankets and playing with cotton reels Apr 02 20:36:15 afternoon Apr 02 20:37:02 * Inga smiles Apr 02 20:37:37 Did you have a good morning? *it's hard to hear over Amir shouting Ah-Eee! Apr 02 20:38:20 * Morgan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 02 20:39:19 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Apr 02 20:39:38 * Morgan moves around the room, kissing Amir, Varick and Inga's crowns Apr 02 20:39:41 Where's Moll? Apr 02 20:41:53 Expressing. I'm sure she won't mind you going in Apr 02 20:42:12 * Inga doesn't seem to be being suggestive Apr 02 20:42:38 * Morgan nods, heading for the bedroom Apr 02 20:42:48 * Inga is now known as Molly Apr 02 20:43:20 * Molly is indeed behind the privacy screen where the washstand is, a good height for the bowl Apr 02 20:43:41 well... thats my last morning command before we make land done Apr 02 20:43:53 It seemed very smooth Apr 02 20:44:11 There wasn't any challenge at all today Apr 02 20:44:19 Is that good, or bad? Apr 02 20:44:29 * Morgan sighs Apr 02 20:44:35 I'm a little sad about it if I'm honest Apr 02 20:45:01 Inga mentioned that you were lamenting our speed Apr 02 20:45:10 * Morgan nods Apr 02 20:45:13 Somewhat, aye Apr 02 20:45:46 Mmhmm... did you wish to feed him shortly? Apr 02 20:46:25 That'd be nice Apr 02 20:46:40 Alright, I'll do the second side too Apr 02 20:46:56 If you prefer to feed him, thats fine Apr 02 21:07:37 No my love, it's fine, I know you enjoy it, I just like to prepare so I don't feel overfull whilst he's busy sleeping Apr 02 21:09:18 * Morgan nods Apr 02 21:09:20 alright Apr 02 21:10:00 What I could really do with is some sort of glass bottle shaped to cup my nipple Apr 02 21:11:29 I'm good but... I know nothing about glass blowing Apr 02 21:14:51 * Molly sends him an image. It's about six inches long, six in diameter, but has a sloping cupped entrance at the top on one side, covered on the top. About an inch diameter of her areola and nipple is in it as she squeezes the breast, fast flowing streams hitting the back wall and building up in the bottom Apr 02 21:14:56 Something like that Apr 02 21:16:23 * Morgan nods Apr 02 21:16:33 We can try to find an artisan when we return Apr 02 21:17:05 * Molly sighs a little "yes, it'd be good for next time" Apr 02 21:20:18 * Morgan nods Apr 02 21:20:21 Aye, alright love Apr 02 21:20:25 Oh! I wonder if Heinzharold could make one at a forge? Apr 02 21:32:17 Glass is... difficult to work with... its a particular skillset that most smiths don't have Apr 02 21:32:36 The same thing, but in metal Apr 02 21:33:12 Oh... maybe Apr 02 21:33:52 I might ask him later. It'd be nicer on my back than bending over like this! Apr 02 21:34:13 aye Apr 02 21:35:01 Something is troubling you... Apr 02 21:36:31 Just a little sad, thats all Apr 02 21:36:59 I can embrace you if you wish... I have a towel Apr 02 21:37:42 No, I'll be alright. Just need to let it go Apr 02 21:38:00 Alright my love... Apr 02 21:41:15 Did Inga tell you HeinzHarold was talking in his sleep? Apr 02 21:41:23 * Molly giggles Apr 02 21:41:35 Yes she did. How bizarre! Apr 02 21:44:17 He's a weird one sometimes Apr 02 21:45:04 * Molly nods "normally when you talk in your sleep you say my name or Dietlinde's..." Apr 02 21:45:48 * Morgan frowns Apr 02 21:45:52 I talk in my sleep? Apr 02 21:46:06 Rarely, but yes Apr 02 21:46:15 I was not aware of that Apr 02 21:46:18 I never used to Apr 02 21:46:47 I'm sure I have told you before. I recall you apologising for saying her name once Apr 02 21:48:49 Oh. I see. Apr 02 21:50:00 It's been many weeks now... *he knows from Claudia that he said Dietlinde's name when Claudia was calling him back from the dead* Apr 02 21:50:21 * Morgan nods Apr 02 21:51:17 When we are in Capperlucia, I want to find some privacy to practice with my magic... Apr 02 21:52:33 That should be easy Apr 02 21:54:07 Depends if the crew are wandering the place Apr 02 21:55:07 Tell them the land around our house is out of bounds so we can make the most of the warm outdoors. Apr 02 21:55:31 * Morgan nods Apr 02 21:55:33 Thats not a bad idea Apr 02 21:55:55 Once upon a time no one would have believed it... Apr 02 21:58:12 * Morgan nods Apr 02 21:58:18 Simpler times Apr 02 21:58:42 Indeed... did I say that I will not be working on sparkly day? Apr 02 21:59:15 * Morgan nods Apr 02 21:59:38 Aye... though I imagine we'll take care of the sparkling as early as possible? Apr 02 22:00:40 That is generally what we do for everyone else, yes Apr 02 22:01:57 * Morgan nods Apr 02 22:02:07 At least we enjoy it Apr 02 22:03:50 We do. Would we enjoy it more if it was more leisurely though? Apr 02 22:04:16 probably. But... we have the rest of the month for that Apr 02 22:04:45 That is true... when someone isn't stirring in the night! Apr 02 22:06:38 * Morgan nods Apr 02 22:06:42 Not that that stopped us Apr 02 22:07:08 Mmhmm... you will tell me about it during quiet hour? Apr 02 22:07:38 perhaps Apr 02 22:08:41 Oh... alright, liebling. Apr 02 22:08:56 Its a bit... much... maybe... Apr 02 22:09:11 We always knew it might happen. Apr 02 22:09:17 What? Apr 02 22:09:59 Dreaming something of someone else that causes us to want to be intimate Apr 02 22:10:07 Oh... no, its not that Apr 02 22:10:49 Alright... I'm not sure what could be too much after the things we were sending each other last night! Apr 02 22:11:40 * Morgan sighs quietly, sending her the image from his dream Apr 02 22:13:05 * Molly draws a sharp breath before muttering quietly "holy fuck, liebes herz!" Apr 02 22:14:11 sorry Apr 02 22:14:24 No! Don't be! Apr 02 22:14:31 No? Apr 02 22:16:31 No, absolutely not... *she exhales slowly* Apr 02 22:17:25 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 02 22:17:39 Alright, I'm going to fetch some coffee I think... and sit down. Apr 02 22:18:05 Mmmhmm... uhh... how long until quiet hour? Apr 02 22:18:25 *It's about forty five minutes* Apr 02 22:19:14 Three quarters of an hour, there or thereabouts Apr 02 22:19:45 Alright... okay... I'll have your milk for you in about five minutes Apr 02 22:20:27 I'll be with coffee by then Apr 02 22:21:00 Yes, my love Apr 02 22:21:12 * Morgan nods, heading out and going for coffee Apr 02 22:22:22 *he ends up with the lunch too* Apr 02 22:24:40 * Morgan carries it all back, putting it on the desk Apr 02 22:27:57 * Molly comes out, milk and cup in hand Apr 02 22:28:19 I: it's ready to be finished off Apr 02 22:28:38 [I know how that mattress feels!] Apr 02 22:28:49 * Morgan blushes Apr 02 22:30:28 * Molly smiles, pouring some in a glass, some in a little milk jug, and then handing him the bottle and cup Apr 02 22:31:21 * Morgan thanks her, picking up Amir and settling to feed him Apr 02 22:33:54 *the others get setup at the desk, Varick chatting away about finishing the mattress in time, Molly adding milk from the jug to hers and Inga's coffee* Apr 02 22:34:03 You want yours black, my love. Apr 02 22:34:04 ? Apr 02 22:36:41 * Morgan nods Apr 02 22:36:42 Yes please Apr 02 22:37:34 * Molly puts it on the table. Amir looks up at him lovingly Apr 02 22:37:54 V: Do you want to stitch the last bit, Vati? Apr 02 22:38:49 That'd be nice, I think... something we've all helped make... Apr 02 22:40:02 V: Heinzharold chopped up the insides Apr 02 22:41:02 * Morgan nods Apr 02 22:41:10 alright... I'll sew it up Apr 02 22:41:14 * Molly and Inga eat their lunch and drink their coffee Apr 02 22:41:58 V: Then we need to put it in the crib, and put a blanket in, and then we can have our nap in our bedroom. Apr 02 22:42:18 [-our- bedroom... notice that?] Apr 02 22:42:25 * Morgan nods, looking down at Amir Apr 02 22:42:33 * Molly smiles, looking at Morgan "It must be nice being an older brother" Apr 02 22:42:52 [yes... I get the feeling we might have been outflanked...] Apr 02 22:43:14 [he just wants to be involved] Apr 02 22:43:29 [he loves Amir very much] Apr 02 22:43:44 [yes, he does] Apr 02 22:44:38 That reminds me... I left a note this morning asking Edward to draw out Hafenlohr for us, we saw barely any of the rooms Apr 02 22:45:09 I: I can't imagine you buying a house after seeing almost none of it, Morgan Apr 02 22:45:37 No, I'm far too straight laced to do that... no, the place just felt... right. Apr 02 22:46:06 V: Did you look at your old house first? Apr 02 22:47:42 *his cottage with Dietlinde had been in the perfect location and needed to be kept an anonymous purchase, so he'd had to settle for a quick peek in the windows of the three downstairs rooms, guessing it had three bedrooms upstairs from the number of windows* Apr 02 22:48:05 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 02 22:48:11 No, I looked through the windows Apr 02 22:48:44 V: Oh, what about the one we stayed in at Lady Catherine's? Apr 02 22:49:14 I was responsible for those buildings, so I knew all about them Apr 02 22:49:46 *Molly nods* and I'd been in there several times to clean it, so I knew it was small and peaceful Apr 02 22:50:59 V: Has uncle Edward been there a lot? Apr 02 22:51:34 * Morgan nods Apr 02 22:51:47 Yes, he has... Dekker is Edwards old commanding officer Apr 02 22:52:27 V: He is nice. Diana is nice too Apr 02 22:53:05 She takes a bit of getting used to Apr 02 22:53:29 V: Do I take a bit of getting used to? Apr 02 22:53:56 I didn't think so... you take a little while before you started trusting people though Apr 02 22:56:27 V: *he nods* I trust most people now Apr 02 22:56:36 * Morgan nods Apr 02 22:58:03 *Amir takes a little while to be finished. Inga asks if Morgan wants her to do it so he can eat or sew* Apr 02 22:58:32 * Morgan looks torn but nods Apr 02 22:58:40 Aye, otherwise he'll be asleep before its ready Apr 02 22:59:11 *Inga comes to take his place with the baby* Apr 02 22:59:35 [I can express more for later if you wish] Apr 02 22:59:59 * Morgan hands him over gently Apr 02 23:00:03 [we'll see love] Apr 02 23:00:46 * Morgan moves to the little mattress, sorting out a needle and thread Apr 02 23:02:53 *Inga looks quite experienced at this, getting comfortable. Varick has to be reminded to eat before he's allowed to go and find some blankets. The sail fabric is thick, but as a retired one it's softened from when they're brand new* Apr 02 23:03:42 * Morgan sets about getting it sewn Apr 02 23:06:47 *the familiar activity of the neat stitches Dietlinde taught him is quite relaxing, and it's almost startling when he hears the baby laugh* Apr 02 23:07:18 * Morgan looks round quickly just as he drives the needle into his thumb Apr 02 23:08:14 *that, understandably, hurts* Apr 02 23:08:48 *Amir is chuckling as Varick holds a blanket over his own face then lowers it* Apr 02 23:10:22 [Could I have one of the cloths you don't mind being ruined please Apr 02 23:12:21 * Molly takes one from her pocket, bringing it to him Apr 02 23:12:35 [let me heal it?] Apr 02 23:12:51 * Morgan nods, pulling the needle from his thumb Apr 02 23:13:46 * Molly holds his hand, making his neck and thumb tingle before wiping off the blood. Amir immediately tries to sit up in Inga's lap "Bah?" Apr 02 23:14:58 Calm down lad, its nothing important Apr 02 23:15:17 * Molly giggles, Amir staring at her Apr 02 23:15:30 It must look like something, mustn't it? Apr 02 23:15:57 * Morgan nods, taking the cloth and wiping the needle before continuing to sew Apr 02 23:16:23 *Inga gets Amir to finish feeding* Apr 02 23:16:32 How did you manage that, my love? Apr 02 23:16:52 I got distracted by Amir laughing Apr 02 23:17:03 It's a nice sound Apr 02 23:17:07 * Morgan nods Apr 02 23:20:00 *it doesn't take him long. The binding stitch to seal it is neat and clean, and Dietlinde would be proud of him for it* Apr 02 23:20:30 * Morgan runs his finger over it before nodding to himself Apr 02 23:20:48 V: Is it ready, Vati? Apr 02 23:20:53 * Morgan nods Apr 02 23:20:55 Yes, it is Apr 02 23:21:04 V: It looks really good! Apr 02 23:21:14 [Are you planning to send Inga to be alone during quiet hour?] Apr 02 23:21:24 You've done very well with it... Apr 02 23:21:34 [oh damn, I hadn't thought of that!] Apr 02 23:21:55 V: that's good stitching Apr 02 23:23:19 * Morgan nods, smiling Apr 02 23:23:38 Yes, it is. Apr 02 23:24:38 * Molly gently rubs Morgan's shoulder "that is because he had a very good teacher, Mauschen. Now he'll be able to start teaching you and your siblings to do it" Apr 02 23:25:00 *Inga smiles, watching them* Apr 02 23:25:04 * Morgan nods, running his thumb over the stitch again Apr 02 23:25:10 She'd have been proud of me for that one Apr 02 23:25:24 * Molly smiles "it's wonderful" Apr 02 23:25:55 V: Can we put it in now? Apr 02 23:26:58 * Morgan nods Apr 02 23:27:01 aye Apr 02 23:27:32 * Molly takes Varick, the mattress and the blanket through ((follows or stays?)) Apr 02 23:27:49 * Morgan stays sat on the couch Apr 02 23:27:56 * Molly is now known as Inga Apr 02 23:28:02 * Inga speaks quietly Apr 02 23:28:17 It's good to see you two like that Apr 02 23:28:22 Like what? Apr 02 23:28:32 So at ease Apr 02 23:28:44 * Morgan nods Apr 02 23:29:02 It feels good... Apr 02 23:30:41 * Inga nods "it used to always get so tense. Like neither of you were hurt, but you'd suddenly both be on guard to make sure you weren't going to hurt each other. Like a big hole opened up in the middle of the floor and neither of you wanted to accidentally make the other fall in" Apr 02 23:31:19 * Morgan nods Apr 02 23:31:39 Part of that... was not being able to even think about Dietlinde in any way that wasn't about her dying Apr 02 23:32:46 * Inga nods Apr 02 23:32:53 Now you can? Apr 02 23:33:00 * Morgan nods Apr 02 23:33:32 I was thinking she'd have been proud of me for that stitch. Its daft, such a little thing but I wouldn't have even been able to feel that Apr 02 23:33:57 * Inga smiles Apr 02 23:34:04 It's good. What changed? Apr 02 23:34:18 * Morgan shrugs Apr 02 23:34:21 I don't know Apr 02 23:34:39 Have all your strange dreams helped? Apr 02 23:35:12 The ones since we got too far from Eisen, or the usual ones? Apr 02 23:36:14 The usual ones. Aren't the current ones mostly sex? Apr 02 23:36:46 * Morgan nods, smiling Apr 02 23:37:08 Yes, they are... as for the usual ones... I don't know really which, for someone like me, bugs the ever-loving crap out of me Apr 02 23:38:48 * Inga quietly laughs Apr 02 23:39:09 You do seem to be more settled now Apr 02 23:39:20 * Morgan nods Apr 02 23:39:24 I am Apr 02 23:40:08 You both deserve that happiness Apr 02 23:40:53 * Inga looks at the baby "he's asleep now" Apr 02 23:43:37 * Morgan nods Apr 02 23:43:45 Shall I take him through? Apr 02 23:45:12 * Inga nods "I'm going to have a nap too, it was an early morning" Apr 02 23:46:14 Alright love Apr 02 23:46:20 * Morgan takes the sleeping child from her Apr 02 23:47:29 * Inga gets up, going to the door before she says with a little smirk "enjoy quiet hour" Apr 02 23:48:06 Plan to Apr 02 23:48:15 * Morgan winks at her before carrying Amir into Varicks room Apr 02 23:49:55 *Varick looks so excited, whispering* it's ready, Vati! Apr 02 23:50:14 * Morgan nods, gently putting Amir into the crib Apr 02 23:50:54 *He doesn't stir, and looks very sweet in there. Varick watches him adoringly* Apr 02 23:51:00 * Inga is now known as Molly Apr 02 23:52:41 * Molly gently tucks the blanket over the baby before getting Varick in. He watches Amir through the bars as he also falls asleep. Molly comes to stand beside Morgan, holding his hand as she watches them Apr 02 23:52:51 [our boys...] Apr 02 23:53:48 * Morgan nods Apr 02 23:54:36 [seeing them so sweet and loving makes me want to make more babies with you] Apr 02 23:55:23 [I'm rather glad to hear that. Lets hope that feeling holds out when they're both being little monsters at some point] Apr 02 23:56:47 [I'm sure of it] Apr 02 23:57:48 * Morgan nods Apr 02 23:57:53 * Molly leads the way, gently shutting that door and then the one from the antechamber to the study. Then she looks to him a moment Apr 02 23:58:35 And you will still want to make babies with me when they aren't behaving nicely? Apr 02 23:59:08 Of course Apr 02 23:59:29 * Molly nods, looking around Apr 02 23:59:34 Where's Inga? Apr 02 23:59:42 I kicked her out Apr 02 23:59:54 Oh really? Why might that be?
