**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Apr 5 00:00:22 2023 Apr 05 00:00:22 * Morgan nods Apr 05 00:01:01 If she's going to be with you the whole time, you get to look at her the whole time, while other people don't really. Apr 05 00:01:28 'Cept that's not their plan Apr 05 00:01:54 Thats their issue isn't it. Apr 05 00:02:24 No, Inga an' Molly. Inga's going to be Molly's personal assistant Apr 05 00:03:21 Then she'll be protected by Molly, and probably Claudia Apr 05 00:03:45 And she'll be surrounded by the people at the heart of the culture that values and respects women so much Apr 05 00:05:00 Think I'm being a colossal baby, yeah? Apr 05 00:05:58 No, you're being possessive of the woman you love. That is reasonable and, frankly, she might like it... but what you feel and what is reasonable aren't necessarily the same Apr 05 00:07:22 * HH nods Apr 05 00:07:54 Gonna hafta let her wear it any'ow. Even if I don' like it, I don't want her overheating Apr 05 00:08:03 * Morgan nods Apr 05 00:08:15 And as the ambassadors assistant, it would be inappropriate for her not to Apr 05 00:09:29 * HH nods Apr 05 00:09:40 Guess I'm over a barrel, huh? Apr 05 00:10:15 'Fraud so Apr 05 00:10:21 'fraid* Apr 05 00:11:51 Not lookin' forward to seeing her getting all dressed up fine then havin' to spend a day with her though *he grins* Apr 05 00:13:08 Ravish her before they head out for the day? Apr 05 00:14:10 * HH nods "think that's gonna be pretty necessary!" Apr 05 00:14:23 * Morgan nods Apr 05 00:14:27 Reckon so Apr 05 00:14:37 Molly's planning to keep some for when she's pregnant Apr 05 00:14:46 * HH nods Apr 05 00:14:59 That's a damn good idea, fit around th' belly Apr 05 00:15:22 * Morgan nods Apr 05 00:15:23 Indeed Apr 05 00:16:01 Expect to see 'er wandering round like that next summer then? Apr 05 00:16:12 * Morgan nods Apr 05 00:16:14 hopefully Apr 05 00:16:33 That gonna be an issue for you? Apr 05 00:16:52 Why would it? Apr 05 00:17:12 Partly cos that's a lotta skin for yer staff to see... Apr 05 00:17:35 Staff are paid to be discreet Apr 05 00:18:23 True. Also, you gon' be finding her very hot already with being knocked up an' liking that? Apr 05 00:18:40 Probably Apr 05 00:18:52 * HH nods Apr 05 00:19:10 Planning to do some ravishing before sending her to work each day too? Apr 05 00:19:52 * Morgan smiles slightly Apr 05 00:19:59 If I can get the time Apr 05 00:21:27 See if she can squeeze y' in? Apr 05 00:22:00 Depends on the boys Apr 05 00:22:17 Normally they stay on th' outside, man *he grins* Apr 05 00:22:46 You know what I mean, you plank Apr 05 00:22:54 * HH nods Apr 05 00:23:33 Think mebbie you need to think bout letting Amir sleep in with Varick overnight? Apr 05 00:24:00 Not just yet... Apr 05 00:24:28 Jus' seems like it's weighin' on you not havin' yer old freedom Apr 05 00:25:37 No, just getting used to it. Apr 05 00:25:50 * HH nods Apr 05 00:26:17 I'm tryinna get used to th' fact my wife now has yer wife's breast milk in her coffee Apr 05 00:26:33 I'm sorry, what? Apr 05 00:27:23 *thinking on it, Molly had poured expressed milk into the milk jug before doing their coffees and asking if he wanted his with milk or black* Apr 05 00:28:10 Yer bubbies make milk. Milk goes in coffee. Coffee goes in my wife's mouth Apr 05 00:28:37 Huh... I hadn't realised they were doing that Apr 05 00:29:11 Better than goats milk, 'pparently. Not quite sure what I make o' it yet Apr 05 00:31:10 * Morgan shrugs Apr 05 00:31:51 I dunno Apr 05 00:32:18 Like, it's not necessarily hot, but like a little warm? Apr 05 00:33:54 * Morgan laughs Apr 05 00:33:57 Its alright man Apr 05 00:34:47 Thinking it's b'cause it's like doing something a bit forbidden Apr 05 00:35:16 * Morgan nods Apr 05 00:35:18 I can relate to that Apr 05 00:36:49 My lil darlin was just chatting away, and the She comes out with "oh, and I tried some of Molly's milk and it's quite nice, so I had it in my coffee instead" Apr 05 00:37:22 Ah, the casualness of it Apr 05 00:37:29 * HH nods Apr 05 00:38:19 Yep. My sensible brain knows there was a cup, my adolescent brain not so much! Apr 05 00:38:28 * Morgan laughs Apr 05 00:38:37 Great, that'll pop back up in my mind at some point Apr 05 00:38:47 * HH chuckles Apr 05 00:39:00 Knowing you yer gon' dream that at some point Apr 05 00:41:15 * Morgan sighs Apr 05 00:41:17 Its possible Apr 05 00:41:23 * HH starts sniggering "coulda been spilled on th' desk. Mighta been paint, man..." Apr 05 00:41:31 Might well have been Apr 05 00:42:21 So now yer wife makes milk for yer baby, Varick, -and- Inga! Apr 05 00:43:54 * Morgan nods Apr 05 00:43:57 Apparently so Apr 05 00:44:53 What else did Eddie have to say for 'imself, or was it just him plantin' all the seeds? Apr 05 00:45:30 Talked about DeeDee... Apr 05 00:46:39 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Apr 05 00:48:44 * HH has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 05 02:02:22 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 05 02:04:35 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 05 04:08:19 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 05 04:10:40 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 05 13:45:32 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Apr 05 13:47:59 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 05 13:48:12 * MollyK is now known as HH Apr 05 13:48:16 Yeah? Apr 05 13:49:46 Seems he's taken up with Petra... certainly they're sleeping together... Apr 05 13:54:05 He's a free agent, she sounds pretty and kind Apr 05 13:54:42 * Morgan nods Apr 05 13:54:47 aye Apr 05 13:55:05 * HH shrugs Apr 05 13:55:20 Y' bothered on Claudia's behalf? Apr 05 13:56:03 * Morgan nods Apr 05 13:56:08 She's not over him Apr 05 13:56:36 Hang on, was she ever under him? Apr 05 13:57:08 Don't be daft... she's really struggling with it Apr 05 13:57:46 I wasn't being dirty, get yer mind outta the gutter. Thought it was just a temp'ry attraction Apr 05 13:58:56 Its a fundamental shift... save very few of us she considers safe, all men are a risk and she hasn't been attracted to a single damn one for a long time. This is really challenging her Apr 05 13:59:27 * HH nods Apr 05 14:00:01 Now he might be off th' market an' she might realise what she's missed? Apr 05 14:00:21 * Morgan shrugs Apr 05 14:00:29 Its bothering her a great deal, on many levels Apr 05 14:00:46 * HH sips his coffee Apr 05 14:00:56 She's not mentioned it t' me Apr 05 14:03:20 You're sour about that Apr 05 14:04:10 No, but feels a bit weird Apr 05 14:05:23 because... Apr 05 14:06:25 I knew 'er first, we were close when y' got busy with Dietlinde, then it was jus' us for years. I missed all th' shit that happened in Fischler that you two went through side by side, then all this shit about the rapes, now DeeDee. Guess sometimes it seems a bit like I'm not as close to 'er as before Apr 05 14:08:57 I see Apr 05 14:09:46 Doesn' matter. Not like we don't have a secret from 'er Apr 05 14:09:55 It clearly matters to you Apr 05 14:11:20 Mebbie I need to put in more time. We've never talked about what happened in Erlangen again. I been so busy with Inga, mebbie I need to put more effort in with Claudia Apr 05 14:12:04 Maybe. Erlangen... I didn't know in as much detail as she told you. I suspect it was a little easier to tell me because I didn't know any of them. Apr 05 14:14:11 * HH nods Apr 05 14:14:31 She was worried about the impact it would have on you Apr 05 14:16:19 Fuckin' sickens me. Aside from being rapist pigs, they were good men, y' know? Helped younger recruits, saved my ass time and again, didn't cheat ya at cards. Yeah, they were a bit crude, but that was common... *he looks disgusted* Apr 05 14:16:49 * Morgan nods Apr 05 14:16:57 Aye. Apr 05 14:17:35 If I'd ever suspected they were like that, I'd ne'er have had anything to do with 'em Apr 05 14:18:12 I know that man. So does she. Apr 05 14:18:20 * HH nods Apr 05 14:18:47 Just hard when good men turn out to be monsters Apr 05 14:19:06 They weren't good men... they were just very good at pretending to be Apr 05 14:20:39 * HH nods Apr 05 14:20:59 And I was a fool they duped Apr 05 14:21:53 You're not a fool man, and she wouldn't want you to feel that way Apr 05 14:23:02 I know, but y' know how it is. Least with Dau your gut told y' y' didn't like 'im Apr 05 14:23:32 * Morgan shrugs Apr 05 14:23:38 Or it was just plain jealousy Apr 05 14:26:38 Within an hour? Apr 05 14:26:58 Or... I recognised the vaticine uniform Apr 05 14:28:39 maybe Apr 05 14:29:15 Pers'nally I can't imagine any attraction 'tween them Apr 05 14:30:55 * Morgan shrugs Apr 05 14:30:58 Well, there was Apr 05 14:33:10 She gotta bit of a thing for Eisen men... Apr 05 14:33:59 Seems that way doesn't it Apr 05 14:35:05 Wonder if that's mebbie t' do with her heritage? Apr 05 14:35:58 Could be I suppose Apr 05 14:36:02 Doesn' seem to fancy me or Kit though... an' we're very fine specimens of our country Apr 05 14:36:38 That is a bit confusing to be honest Apr 05 14:36:49 * HH nods Apr 05 14:37:21 Me she didn' meet til after you, an' she's a faithful lassie, so tha' can be explained. Kit though... Apr 05 14:37:50 * Morgan shrugs Apr 05 14:37:55 I reckon she fancied him some Apr 05 14:38:22 Bet all the lassies were droolin' over him? Apr 05 14:39:11 * Morgan nods Apr 05 14:39:13 It was sickening Apr 05 14:39:30 Jealous, were ya? Apr 05 14:39:53 * Morgan shrugs, sipping his coffee Apr 05 14:40:08 Reminded y' of how they fawn over me? Apr 05 14:40:59 Might have done a bit Apr 05 14:43:20 * HH nods Apr 05 14:43:35 Won't have to beat 'em off in Capperlucia Apr 05 14:44:10 Beat what off? Apr 05 14:44:43 Female admirers Apr 05 14:45:18 * Morgan shrugs Apr 05 14:45:25 Wouldn't know, I've not had experience with that Apr 05 14:47:56 You got lucky havin' two o' the three most beautiful women in th' world fawnin' over you Apr 05 14:48:07 * Morgan nods Apr 05 14:48:09 Yes I did Apr 05 14:48:18 Fuck knows how, man Apr 05 14:48:41 * Morgan scowls suddenly Apr 05 14:48:53 What? Apr 05 14:49:04 I know full well -how- Apr 05 14:49:54 Sweet charm for th' first, brooding gruffness that needed so nurturing for th' second? Apr 05 14:50:14 And a heavy dose of meddling by some short arses Apr 05 14:50:26 * HH frowns Apr 05 14:50:45 They both loved you, man Apr 05 14:51:08 I don't doubt that. I really don't. But they were both pushed in my direction Apr 05 14:51:31 To meet ya, mebbie Apr 05 14:51:58 * Morgan shrugs, taking a mouthful of his coffee Apr 05 14:52:15 Been sittin' on this, have ya? Apr 05 14:52:43 * Morgan shrugs Apr 05 14:52:49 Just something I am aware of, thats all Apr 05 14:54:04 Feelin' like as they're gon' have Molly develop feelings for Rosie if you exit stage left, mebbie they did tha' to her and Dietlinde for you? Apr 05 14:54:28 Something like Apr 05 14:57:57 I don' see it, man Apr 05 15:00:05 I've seen paths where you and Dietlinde get together... I heard the noise that preceded that old lady getting brained at the shadowfayre, the only thing that stopped the two of you kissing again... and I've had it from the Nieblungen that there isn't anyone else they have set aside for me... thats because I already met and married her. Apr 05 15:01:07 You an' Dietlinde were perfect for each other, man. She'da found me annoyin' after a bit Apr 05 15:01:17 Thats not the point, man Apr 05 15:01:36 Call 'em out on it? Apr 05 15:01:55 To what end? It won't make me feel any better about it Apr 05 15:02:27 * HH watches him "just don't want ya damaging yer marriages for it" Apr 05 15:02:49 I know, nor do I Apr 05 15:03:55 So don't let it. Apr 05 15:04:13 * Morgan nods Apr 05 15:04:27 I'm going to ask them for some weapons Apr 05 15:04:42 * HH feigns affront Apr 05 15:05:06 Yep, not like yer best friend is a blacksmith or nothin'! Apr 05 15:05:16 * Morgan smiles slightly Apr 05 15:05:53 Don't you worry your pretty little head about it... that falchion is precious to me. I want one to replace the one I had during the war Apr 05 15:06:53 Once we got m' forge built, we can churn out loads. My skill,your ability t' get the heat perfect with no effort... Apr 05 15:07:07 I make it look effortless, huh? Apr 05 15:07:37 Utterly Apr 05 15:07:56 * Morgan smiles Apr 05 15:08:09 Its not. Its not difficult anymore, but its not effortless Apr 05 15:08:33 Good enough Apr 05 15:09:20 I was going to ask them for some bracers too... solely because of their strength Apr 05 15:11:46 Hang on, -dracheneisen- weapons... Apr 05 15:12:08 Well obviously. Otherwise I'd just ask you Apr 05 15:12:22 That's why I was confused Apr 05 15:12:28 Pillock. Apr 05 15:13:05 * HH nods, looking thoughtful "mebbie that's my role in all this... make the weapons yer gon' need" Apr 05 15:13:26 Not so sure... maybe though Apr 05 15:13:44 Y' think my role is stayin' home safe, right? Apr 05 15:14:19 Maybe your role is to keep our children safe... maybe its saving me from myself every time I get into my own head Apr 05 15:15:27 We're thinking that maybe the children... are for -after- we've faced it all Apr 05 15:16:55 Huh... interesting idea Apr 05 15:19:11 Look at Florrie... how quickly could she heal the land, reduce famine? Apr 05 15:19:24 * HH nods slowly Apr 05 15:19:33 Hadn' thought o' that Apr 05 15:21:11 * Morgan nods Apr 05 15:22:08 She'd be what, seventeen, eighteen? At least fifteen years... makes Varick twenty two, Amir sixteen, next one fourteen? Apr 05 15:23:06 Something like, yes Apr 05 15:23:50 It's th' younger ones'd be more o' a worry Apr 05 15:25:50 * Morgan nods Apr 05 15:25:57 Scares me, man Apr 05 15:26:07 * HH nods Apr 05 15:26:29 Yeah. Scares me an' might not even need my kids Apr 05 15:28:38 * Morgan nods Apr 05 15:30:20 Numbers, ain't it... just the thought that mebbie even if y' win, mebbie y' can't bring all ten back *he shudders* Apr 05 15:31:07 * Morgan nods Apr 05 15:31:26 Yeah, I know. I don't think I could survive that again. Apr 05 15:31:45 They'd need y', man. Apr 05 15:32:48 I'd be no use to them. None at all. Apr 05 15:33:41 * HH broods on this, and then Molly opens the door as she says "If you don't keep it in your mouth it's going to go everywhere" Apr 05 15:35:18 * Morgan looks to the door Apr 05 15:35:23 $thats what he said$ Apr 05 15:35:31 *HH smiles slightly, but that's all he seems to manage. Molly obviously doesn't expect them to be there. She has Amir on her hip, one bare breast, and papers in her other hand* Apr 05 15:36:15 You been walking through the ship like that? Apr 05 15:36:24 * HH is now known as Molly Apr 05 15:36:36 No, just from the ballroom Apr 05 15:37:16 *HH smirks* sight for sore eyes. Think we were in need of a bubbie, weren't we, man? Apr 05 15:37:46 I got you, we both know you're a tit Apr 05 15:37:54 *Molly blushes, getting Amir latched again* Apr 05 15:38:08 *HH nods* yeah Apr 05 15:38:45 * Molly frowns slightly, putting the papers down before sitting on the couch Apr 05 15:38:51 What's happened? Apr 05 15:39:19 We've made ourselves a little maudlin love, thats all. Apr 05 15:39:37 Alright, what do you need? Apr 05 15:39:53 * Morgan shrugs, looking at HeinzHarold Apr 05 15:40:12 HH: I'll take a hug? Apr 05 15:41:04 * Molly smiles, motioning him over "Mind you don't dislodge him, or you'll get covered in milk" Apr 05 15:43:58 That'd be unfortunate Apr 05 15:44:18 *HH chuckles, sitting down and carefully hugging her. She strokes his back like she would Varick's* now, what's the matter, hmm? Apr 05 15:44:30 * Molly looks questioningly at Morgan Apr 05 15:44:55 * Morgan shrugs Apr 05 15:44:59 We were talking about the future Apr 05 15:45:15 * Molly nods Apr 05 15:45:37 Why don't you come and sit on the other side, my love? Apr 05 15:46:17 * Morgan nods, doing so Apr 05 15:47:22 *Amir's head is at this end, so he looks up at Morgan. HH sits beside her, Amir's feet on him* Apr 05 15:47:41 * Molly kisses Morgan's cheek Apr 05 15:48:00 Would you like a little magic to take the edge off? Apr 05 15:48:51 * Morgan strokes Amir's brow Apr 05 15:49:13 No, I'm alright... think it best if HeinzHarold has its burden eased though Apr 05 15:49:27 *HH nods* yeah, go on Apr 05 15:50:01 * Molly takes HH's hand, and Morgan's neck prickles as usual. HH looks to relax Apr 05 15:50:14 HH: thanks Apr 05 15:51:33 * Molly nods "My love, how are Edward and Mina?" Apr 05 15:52:50 Well. Though they are trying to hard for a child he thinks if he were to reach orgasm another time, it'd just be a puff of air... Apr 05 15:53:07 * Molly giggles Apr 05 15:53:24 That might be one of the least sexy things I've ever heard! Apr 05 15:53:40 HH: That's gotta be bad, seen as 'ow she married you! Apr 05 15:54:28 * Morgan nods Apr 05 15:55:00 I know, I'm awful. I suggested you and Mina might talk with her before we make landfall, just some girl talk Apr 05 15:55:28 I could tell her that multiple times a day is really not needed? Apr 05 15:55:58 If you want, but I was more thinking for some laughs and relaxation for the three of you Apr 05 15:56:42 * Molly smiles "that would be nice, we could tell her about your coach dream..." Apr 05 15:57:13 * Morgan draws a breath Apr 05 15:57:18 I don't think you really would... Apr 05 15:57:38 * Molly smiles, raising a brow "not sure though, hmm?" Apr 05 15:57:45 * Morgan shrugs Apr 05 15:57:48 I'm not bothered Apr 05 15:58:23 HH: Not sure e'en I could talk 'bout self-pleasure with 'er Ladyship Apr 05 15:58:54 * Molly smiles "I'd done so before" Apr 05 15:59:13 Generally speaking, anything you know, they know... all of them Apr 05 15:59:59 HH: Stef I can understand, but Mina... don't picture 'er being the sort Apr 05 16:00:47 * Molly giggles "are you picturing my sister in law doing that, Heinzharold?!" Apr 05 16:01:13 HH: Tryin' hard not to! Apr 05 16:01:59 * Molly looks to Morgan "this is like you said about men finding things dirty really easily?" Apr 05 16:02:51 * Morgan nods Apr 05 16:03:16 I've been talking to the crew... they're a little worried... Apr 05 16:03:38 Why? *she strokes Amir's fingers* Apr 05 16:04:19 They're concerned that they will face punishment for infractions of the rules here without meaning to break them... Apr 05 16:07:49 Such as? Apr 05 16:08:25 Primarily, looking... its hard not to, apparently, it happens before you realise you're doing it Apr 05 16:08:34 * Molly smiles Apr 05 16:08:41 But not to you, hmm? Apr 05 16:09:13 * Morgan shrugs Apr 05 16:09:27 I'm aware I'm not what would be considered normal in that regard Apr 05 16:10:41 HH: It is a bit difficult. Bit like how if somethin' starts fallin' over y' catch it before y' register it's falling Apr 05 16:10:51 * Molly nods Apr 05 16:11:07 So it's instinctive rather than planned? Apr 05 16:11:15 Apparently Apr 05 16:11:26 Catcalling, thats a choice, but looking... Apr 05 16:12:22 HH looks at him: y' must get that with 'er though? Y' just going about yer day then suddenly y' staring at her bubbies or ass before you've realised? Apr 05 16:12:28 * Molly shakes her head "he doesn't" Apr 05 16:12:50 * Morgan blushes Apr 05 16:14:19 *HH watches between Molly's assertion and his best friend's flushing, smirking slightly* Uh Huh. Well, normal men who are married do it all th' time. Apr 05 16:15:17 * Molly looks down at the baby, stroking his face Apr 05 16:16:15 HH: tends t' be tha' we automatically look but can look away easy if it's not our apples, see? Apr 05 16:18:13 That makes sense... Apr 05 16:18:26 * Molly nods "But the crew will find it more difficult because they do not have the same opportunities for intimacy the two of you do?" Apr 05 16:18:58 Thats entirely possible, yes Apr 05 16:19:14 HH: It's way worse if yer unattached an' horny, yeah Apr 05 16:20:20 Hmmm... that will make the clothing there quite problematic for them? Apr 05 16:21:57 I think it may well do, yes Apr 05 16:22:45 * Molly looks to be thinking Apr 05 16:23:04 I don't know how to fix that... Apr 05 16:23:48 I was thinking maybe... a slight relaxation from Betuana... a bit of leeway... Apr 05 16:24:19 Providing they do not push it too far? Apr 05 16:24:33 * Morgan nods Apr 05 16:24:56 Exactly. We could hardly expect their same sex couples to turn that off the second they step over the border... Apr 05 16:25:49 * Molly nods Apr 05 16:25:53 HH: beginnin' to think I was right suggestin' they all do the solo shuffle, keep it manageable Apr 05 16:26:48 * Molly giggles "we do want them doing -some- work!" Apr 05 16:27:10 * Morgan sighs Apr 05 16:27:22 Something else to discuss with her majesty I suppose Apr 05 16:28:07 I doubt we need permission for them to do that on the privacy of the ship, my love Apr 05 16:28:54 Thats not what I meant and you know it Apr 05 16:29:13 *Hh chuckles* That'd be fuckin' awkward. 'Yer Majesty, I humbly petition to be allowed one rubbyrub in my hammock' Apr 05 16:30:10 * Molly giggles, turning her face against Morgan's arm Apr 05 16:31:00 Be worse if you accidentally locked eyes with someone else doing the same, with royal permission Apr 05 16:31:48 HH: 'less it's my lil darlin *he grins* Apr 05 16:32:09 I said accidentally Apr 05 16:32:30 It'd hurry things along! *she then blushes* Apr 05 16:33:04 * Morgan snorts Apr 05 16:33:10 Think you let on more than you intended there Apr 05 16:33:45 * Molly shrugs a little, still blushing and smiling Apr 05 16:34:08 *HH grins* Mebbie you could just... *he gently pokes her arm like when he describes zapping people with magic* them? Save some time? Apr 05 16:35:04 * Molly tilts her head, looking thoughtful Apr 05 16:35:24 That'd get their attention Apr 05 16:35:51 * Molly nods "It would... I don't know if I actually can though..." Apr 05 16:36:11 HH: Never done it to you then, man? Apr 05 16:36:26 No, she enjoys the work it takes to get there Apr 05 16:36:33 * Morgan suddenly looks surprised at himself Apr 05 16:36:47 * Molly and HH laugh Apr 05 16:37:03 I do, very much Apr 05 16:38:49 * Molly gives Morgan a brief mischievous grin before slowly moving her pointed index finger towards HH with a look of deviousness "You'd like to help, for science, wouldn't you, Heinzharold..?" Apr 05 16:39:51 Like with the tattoo... Apr 05 16:39:58 *HH rapidly hops off the couch out of arm's reach as she laughs* Apr 05 16:41:01 HH: Hey! I gotta wife to impregnate too, ya know?! Can't do that if it all in m' trousers! Apr 05 16:41:46 She could probably stop that part happening.... Apr 05 16:41:53 Can't imagine it'd be satisfying though... Apr 05 16:42:03 * Molly tilts her head thoughtfully again Apr 05 16:42:19 *HH grins* Oh man, you're so fucked now! Apr 05 16:42:37 * Morgan shrugs Apr 05 16:42:43 Tougher to do to me, man Apr 05 16:43:00 HH: whysat? Apr 05 16:43:11 Because my magic resists hers Apr 05 16:44:38 HH: be like th' opposite o' when she ruined y-... *his micro expression shows a little alarm*... when Inga ruined Heinrich's orgasm... Apr 05 16:45:00 $shit, that was close$ Apr 05 16:45:39 * Molly still looks thoughtful rather than like she's caught his slip Apr 05 16:46:13 $Good job she wasn't paying attention man$ Apr 05 16:46:22 $sorry man$ Apr 05 16:47:26 It does bear further investigation though... whether the pleasure and the release could be somehow separated... *she sounds distracted still* Apr 05 16:47:28 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 05 16:48:18 HH: it's for science, man... Apr 05 16:48:25 Uh huh. *he strokes Amir's hair* Dekker's going to have Hafenlohr cleared out for our return... Apr 05 16:48:40 Hmm? Oh, that's good Apr 05 16:49:53 HH: best get settled on a plan for the cottage, shack, an' forge then Apr 05 16:50:28 She's not having a shack Apr 05 16:50:42 HH: whysat? Apr 05 16:51:03 Because that suggests its temporary. A small cottage, its permanent Apr 05 16:52:53 HH: sounds good, man Apr 05 16:53:09 Do you have the floor plans, my love? Apr 05 16:53:29 * Morgan nods, going to fetch them Apr 05 16:55:24 Turns out... your mother wasn't meddling as we thought... Apr 05 16:57:23 * Molly takes the opportunity to undo the other side of her dress. HH's gaze does automatically fall on her breast before he immediately looks away Apr 05 16:57:27 No? Apr 05 16:59:50 Eyes up sailor...no... Sacha and Otto came up with the idea of their own volition... Apr 05 17:00:08 HH: Sorry Apr 05 17:00:22 * Morgan chuckles slightly Apr 05 17:00:40 $wonder if Claudia has the same reaction$ Apr 05 17:00:45 * Molly smiles faintly. "How has it progressed?" Apr 05 17:01:03 $be interested to know $ Apr 05 17:01:13 * Morgan shrugs Apr 05 17:01:53 HH: what idea? Apr 05 17:01:56 I'm not sure how I feel about it... we were planning to use it as an honour name but... am I being unreasonable, not wanting them to use it? Could I handle hearing it when I'm in Sudlachenburg... Apr 05 17:02:06 * Morgan sighs, looking at HeinzHarold Apr 05 17:02:13 They want to call one of their children Jana Apr 05 17:02:33 HH: the fuck?! It's been less than four fuckin' years! Apr 05 17:03:12 They want to keep her close... I can understand that Apr 05 17:03:51 Heinzharold makes a good point. My niece being named after my sister is different, that was sixteen years ago. This is so recent Apr 05 17:04:18 * Morgan nods Apr 05 17:04:41 They lost their daughter and granddaughter in the space of an hour. Apr 05 17:05:18 They did... but they can't bring either of them back by naming children after them. Apr 05 17:05:55 no Apr 05 17:06:42 *HH sits on a chair by the desk* gon' throw a spanner in th' works when there's Florrie running around too Apr 05 17:07:02 * Morgan nods Apr 05 17:07:10 Oh definitely. I'm not looking forward to dealing with that Apr 05 17:07:22 Shit. I had not considered that... Apr 05 17:07:41 You hadn't? Apr 05 17:08:13 *HH smiles* Not used t' hearing her curse. 'Cept when she called me a cock-sucking piece of shit in Montaigne, o' course Apr 05 17:08:48 Imagine what she'd call you if she didn't like you Apr 05 17:09:41 * Molly sticks her tongue out at Heinzharold before turning her attention back to Morgan "I knew it would distress them to see her, but I hadn't counted for the fact they will also be imminently expecting two children and using Jana's name" Apr 05 17:10:15 Well... mother and I have discussed it... I'm going to deal with it, forewarn then and she is going to guide them away from using her name Apr 05 17:10:40 HH nods: That's the rub, ain't it? It's not just a name, it's -her- name. Apr 05 17:12:14 * Morgan nods Apr 05 17:12:28 You know I will support you however you wish, my love... Apr 05 17:12:47 * Morgan nods Apr 05 17:13:30 If it were an honour name, it wouldn't be different... Apr 05 17:14:08 But traditionally you'd use that for a middle name, not a baptised name Apr 05 17:14:22 exactly Apr 05 17:14:48 I am against them using it... Apr 05 17:14:55 At all? Apr 05 17:15:37 No... they could use it as a middle name if they must, if you agreed... Apr 05 17:16:10 * Morgan nods Apr 05 17:16:10 *HH watches quietly * Apr 05 17:16:16 We'll see what progress mother makes with them Apr 05 17:16:31 * Molly nods, frowning a little Apr 05 17:16:37 Yes, my love. Apr 05 17:16:44 Spit it out blossom Apr 05 17:17:11 $thats what he said$ Apr 05 17:17:27 * Morgan raises a finger to him, smiling Apr 05 17:17:43 I don't want them to use it as her first name, at all. I am strongly opposed to it Apr 05 17:17:56 As am I Apr 05 17:18:34 I do not want our children forgetting their sister because they know another little girl with her family and her name. Apr 05 17:18:44 *HH glances at Morgan* Apr 05 17:19:06 * Morgan nods, sighing Apr 05 17:20:45 And part of me wonders that they can so easily consider taking -your- daughter's name but are not reusing their own daughter's. Apr 05 17:20:54 * Molly looks very serious indeed Apr 05 17:21:19 Perhaps that is too painful still Apr 05 17:22:07 * Molly glances up at him "but it is not so painful enough that they cannot consider you would feel that?! No. I do not like it at all." Apr 05 17:22:24 $some big feelings going on here. Want me to go?$ Apr 05 17:22:36 $No$ Apr 05 17:22:50 Sometimes our own pain blinds us to the pain of others, and the pain our actions might cause Apr 05 17:23:04 Well maybe they should be reminded. Apr 05 17:23:14 * Morgan nods Apr 05 17:23:49 Mother is going to guide them as best she can, and with your mother... and if needs be, I will speak to them when we return Apr 05 17:23:56 * Molly nods Apr 05 17:24:04 I think that is advisable. Apr 05 17:24:23 * Morgan nods Apr 05 17:24:25 Alright love Apr 05 17:24:28 *HH watches her, saying nothing* Apr 05 17:24:56 * Molly nods briefly, holding Amir a little closer Apr 05 17:25:28 * Morgan puts an arm around her, rocking her gently Apr 05 17:25:30 Its alright Apr 05 17:26:35 * Molly nods a little, leaning against him "I hate when people are casual about your pain, when they don't remember what it's taken for you to come this far" Apr 05 17:27:48 It is not out of malice love Apr 05 17:29:54 That matters not. I still dislike it. I am very protective Apr 05 17:30:25 I know. Apr 05 17:32:17 * Molly nods, sighing Apr 05 17:32:52 It will get resolved the way we wish. Apr 05 17:33:47 $something kind of unnerving when she says it like that, man!$ Apr 05 17:34:16 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 05 17:34:19 Lets move on shall we Apr 05 17:34:27 * Molly nods Apr 05 17:34:36 Will you show me the floor plans Apr 05 17:35:50 * Morgan nods, holding them out Apr 05 17:36:12 Your fathers taken something of a quest upon himself to discover as much as he can about Sonnenshein... Apr 05 17:36:34 * Molly looks at the ground floor one first Apr 05 17:36:36 Oh? Apr 05 17:38:10 * Morgan nods Apr 05 17:38:18 Carried himself off to Innesbruck apparently Apr 05 17:40:26 Mmhmm... Hafenlohr is so much bigger than when we first saw it! Apr 05 17:40:39 * Morgan nods Apr 05 17:40:44 I didn't realise there was quite so much of it Apr 05 17:41:02 *HH chuckles* She was this surprised during your repose? Apr 05 17:41:57 She's surprised by large things, yes Apr 05 17:42:23 * Molly shakes her head, distracted "I'd seen it before then. I was surprised then though" Apr 05 17:42:57 *HH chuckles* think someone has no filter today! Apr 05 17:43:14 * Molly looks up "hmm?" Apr 05 17:44:46 * Morgan sniffs Apr 05 17:44:54 You just told him you were surprised by how big I am love. Apr 05 17:45:58 * Molly smiles, blushing a little Apr 05 17:46:01 Did I? Apr 05 17:46:19 * Morgan nods Apr 05 17:46:41 Yes, you did. What else... I spoke to Mina, she's happy and a little sad... Apr 05 17:47:21 * Molly watches him, smirking before looking to Heinzharold with a fake whisper "Sometimes it still catches me by surprise even now!" Apr 05 17:47:51 *HH laughs hard* this one is a real bad girl, man Apr 05 17:48:46 * Morgan nods Apr 05 17:48:48 You've no idea Apr 05 17:49:20 * Molly smiles innocently at Morgan before glancing at his left hand Apr 05 17:50:13 HH: why's Mina sad? Happy that it's frequent, sad that he got the hereditary short straw? Apr 05 17:51:16 No... she got word from Stef... she's felt the quickening Apr 05 17:52:24 * Molly smiles warmly Apr 05 17:52:34 That's fantastic news! Apr 05 17:52:46 * Morgan nods Apr 05 17:52:48 Yes, it is Apr 05 17:53:09 Especially as they lost the baby in October. Step must be so relieved Apr 05 17:54:06 I imagine so. I didn't want to pry, with Mina being a little sad about it not being her yet. Apr 05 17:54:33 That s understandable... Apr 05 17:54:39 * Morgan nods Apr 05 17:54:40 Entirely Apr 05 17:54:55 * Molly watches him a moment Apr 05 17:55:05 Do you feel that too? Apr 05 17:55:20 * Morgan smiles a little Apr 05 17:55:40 Somewhat. But it is what it is. Apr 05 17:55:56 * Molly nods Apr 05 17:56:25 Hopefully in a year or so... Apr 05 17:56:40 * Morgan nods Apr 05 17:57:09 Perhaps you could tell Mina that they don't need to be intimate so often for it to be effective... mother was asking me if I thought Edward looked tired... Apr 05 17:57:17 * Molly nods Apr 05 17:57:33 Marta said once a day or every other day is fine Apr 05 17:57:55 HH: uhh... we might be o'erdoing it a bit ourselves then Apr 05 17:59:22 I understand his plums look more like raisins at the minute, blossom Apr 05 17:59:32 * Molly giggles "it's a good job he's on a night ban, or he'd look exhausted too!" Apr 05 18:01:27 Can't do that to his pretty face Apr 05 18:01:47 That's what she said... Apr 05 18:01:58 No, he definitely did that to it Apr 05 18:02:12 *HH laughs* bloody hell! Apr 05 18:02:32 * Molly smiles, looking at the plan Apr 05 18:02:40 [Edward suggested something we might try...] Apr 05 18:02:44 This looks good, actually. Better than I expected Apr 05 18:02:53 [oh?] Apr 05 18:03:02 [I'll explain later] Apr 05 18:03:05 * Morgan nods Apr 05 18:03:13 I don't think there'll be quite so much needs doing Apr 05 18:03:14 [I look forward it] Apr 05 18:03:34 I... don't think we actually need a Graf wing... Apr 05 18:03:53 No? Apr 05 18:04:05 You wished an office... Apr 05 18:04:35 * Morgan nods Apr 05 18:04:36 yes Apr 05 18:05:22 The third morning room has an outer door right by it, you could have that? It's east facing, so lots of light to work by Apr 05 18:05:48 HH: pretty sure there's only one morning... Apr 05 18:06:16 * Morgan nods Apr 05 18:06:19 That would work Apr 05 18:06:56 The unused gallery in the middle could be made into a state room? Apr 05 18:07:47 * Morgan nods Apr 05 18:07:50 Yes, it could Apr 05 18:08:35 The second morning room we could use as a school room when the children are old enough for lessons Apr 05 18:09:13 * Morgan nods Apr 05 18:09:16 Yes, we could Apr 05 18:09:53 * Molly smiles, nodding before looking to the upstairs Apr 05 18:10:08 That's a ridiculous amount of bedrooms! Apr 05 18:10:16 * Morgan nods Apr 05 18:10:18 Entirely Apr 05 18:11:07 Eighteen, including the nursery! Apr 05 18:11:20 Thats far too many... to start with Apr 05 18:11:28 HH: sounds pretty good for visitors Apr 05 18:11:57 [you think you could stand to give me sixteen babies?] Apr 05 18:11:58 * Morgan nods Apr 05 18:12:02 Yes it does... Apr 05 18:12:10 [I think we'll have our hands full with ten] Apr 05 18:12:48 [your hands might full be but your balls wouldn't be!] Apr 05 18:13:02 [quite so] Apr 05 18:13:18 The nursery suite looks good Apr 05 18:13:59 * Morgan nods Apr 05 18:14:04 Bit far from the main bedrooms though Apr 05 18:14:49 I think the Lady's room might be a good choice for our bedroom? Apr 05 18:16:07 Not the biggest... Apr 05 18:16:57 No, but it has a bathroom, and if I am to be increasing all the time... Apr 05 18:17:34 HH: 'er pukin' is gonna be such a sexy wake up call, man Apr 05 18:17:56 But... yes, ok, it makes sense Apr 05 18:18:07 What did you want, my love? Apr 05 18:20:54 No, its fine Apr 05 18:42:51 We won't need the master's room... Apr 05 18:43:08 Will we not? Apr 05 18:43:16 * Molly frowns Apr 05 18:43:32 You will want separate rooms?! Apr 05 18:43:59 No, don't be daft... I just... I thought it might be useful for... something... I don't know Apr 05 18:44:37 HH: might want it right after the births, give 'er time to recover Apr 05 18:45:14 $eight weeks til she's churched, man$ Apr 05 18:45:45 * Morgan shrugs Apr 05 18:46:11 My parents did not have separate rooms after our births... Apr 05 18:47:02 Interesting, for such a prudish woman Apr 05 18:47:22 * Molly nods Apr 05 18:47:39 My mother is a strange sort of prudish, isn't she? Apr 05 18:48:02 * Morgan nods Apr 05 18:48:04 Yes, she is Apr 05 18:48:07 HH: hell of a lotta kids to be totally prudish! Apr 05 18:48:55 * Molly nods "she was pregnant with Peter before they were married, but there was still the wooden spoon to the thighs for self-pleasure" Apr 05 18:49:29 HH: Mebbie if she hadn't been so concerned 'bout the latter, the former wouldn'ta happened! Apr 05 18:49:40 * Morgan nods Apr 05 18:50:08 * Molly grimaces "thank you, Heinzharold, I did not need to think of either of my parents doing that!" Apr 05 18:51:02 * Morgan sniggers Apr 05 18:51:27 *HH chuckles* Hey, I 'ad my Ma talkin' 'bout my Da sayin' real men should be takin' their mouths south, so it could be worse! Apr 05 18:52:05 Can't say that surprises me Apr 05 18:52:10 * Molly smiles "that is just hilarious though, don't you think, my love?" Apr 05 18:52:22 Sound advice if you ask me Apr 05 18:52:45 [it's certainly welcome!] Apr 05 18:53:20 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 05 18:53:36 *HH comes to look at the plan* adding to the walls on either side o' yer dressing room? Apr 05 18:54:37 Think we'll have to have a practical testing of them first... Apr 05 18:56:05 HH: I guess I could help ya... nothing I haven' heard before! Apr 05 18:56:33 * Molly blushes bashfully "Sorry" Apr 05 18:56:40 * Morgan shrugs Apr 05 18:56:42 I'm not Apr 05 18:57:25 HH: *he chuckles* no need t' be sorry. Glad to see he isn't as rubbish as I figured he prob'ly was! Apr 05 18:58:12 * Molly shakes her head "not rubbish at all." Apr 05 18:58:33 Glowing endorsement... Apr 05 18:58:50 * Molly glances at him a long moment Apr 05 19:00:53 * Molly continues to watch Morgan, smirking as she says "He's amazing. He's generous, very skilled, experimental, wonderfully made by Our Lord for the purpose of procreation and Marital Congress..." Apr 05 19:01:37 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 05 19:01:39 Thats better Apr 05 19:02:16 * Molly looks a little rueful before smiling innocently Apr 05 19:04:40 He fucks with a passion and talent I never expected. He blows my mind. Every time, it's just incredible... Apr 05 19:04:55 *HH watches Morgan, smirking* Apr 05 19:19:31 * Morgan nods, satisfied Apr 05 19:19:33 Thats better Apr 05 19:20:19 HH: gettin' hard to embarrass, man Apr 05 19:21:31 * Morgan smiles Apr 05 19:21:35 I'm just obstinate sometimes Apr 05 19:22:37 Gi'en all yer dreams you've told us... Apr 05 19:22:41 HH* Apr 05 19:22:55 [you told him last nights?!] Apr 05 19:33:34 [like hell have I] Apr 05 19:36:23 * Molly smiles, taking Amir off Apr 05 19:37:00 HH: which room is mine an' Inga's then? Apr 05 19:38:49 * Molly glances at it "what do you think, my love?" Apr 05 19:41:04 May as well use the other corner, surely? Apr 05 19:41:44 Why? Apr 05 19:43:11 Big corner room, attached bathroom... most private really Apr 05 19:44:14 HH: my wife's hands will thank ya Apr 05 19:45:19 [was that the room you wanted, my love?] Apr 05 19:45:30 [it was, but the one you suggested makes more sense Apr 05 19:46:33 [dont worry, mon petit chou, we will fuck in every single room before Prophets Mass if you wish] Apr 05 19:47:01 [I think so, yes Apr 05 19:47:31 [we're running short of countries now] Apr 05 19:47:47 [I'm alright with that] Apr 05 19:48:25 HH: what about the kids? Apr 05 19:48:43 Plenty of rooms to choose from... Apr 05 19:49:24 I suppose it depends on whether we'll have them in the nursery with staff? Apr 05 19:50:16 Not to begin with I think Apr 05 19:50:41 Perhaps Varick in the master's room then? Apr 05 19:51:05 * Morgan nods Apr 05 19:51:08 Yes, I think so Apr 05 19:51:58 $dressing room for not waking Amir... Chuck a chaise in it$ Apr 05 19:52:34 $Good idea$ Apr 05 19:53:14 * Molly smiles Apr 05 19:53:58 I think it'll do us well. Florrie and Alice can have the nursery, we have lots of space for visitors for the baptism Apr 05 19:54:24 * Morgan nods Apr 05 19:54:27 aye Apr 05 19:55:17 HH: got a layout of the grounds? Apr 05 19:55:30 Not yet, no Apr 05 19:55:56 HH: pity Apr 05 19:56:23 * Morgan nods Apr 05 19:56:44 I'll leave another note in a bit, see if we can get that sorted so we can plan for a location? Apr 05 19:57:21 HH: sounds good, man. Looking forward to startin'? Apr 05 19:57:50 * Morgan nods Apr 05 19:57:52 Aye, I am Apr 05 19:58:21 *HH nods* me too Apr 05 19:58:34 * Morgan smiles Apr 05 19:58:36 Not surprised Apr 05 19:59:10 * Molly smiles "you both had practice building the new settlement just before our wedding" Apr 05 19:59:20 * Morgan nods Apr 05 19:59:23 aye Apr 05 19:59:49 HH grins: Suspect our glorious leader 'ad other erections on his mind a' that point! Apr 05 20:00:48 Might've done Apr 05 20:01:10 * Molly giggles "I certainly did!" Apr 05 20:02:07 * Morgan nods Apr 05 20:03:42 Don't worry, I'm sure he won't be at all distracted from building your house... Apr 05 20:05:34 *she sends him the image of him building a wall. It's hot summer, she kisses his cheek before gently patting his bottom "I'll be in the lake, my love... all my clothes will be in the lake house... enjoy your morning..."* Apr 05 20:06:11 * Morgan blushes Apr 05 20:06:15 Cruel, my love, cruel Apr 05 20:06:39 *HH looks a bit confused* Apr 05 20:06:50 * Morgan looks at him, tapping his temple Apr 05 20:08:37 HH: bein' naughty again? Put her over yer knee, that'll learn her Apr 05 20:08:46 * Morgan smirks Apr 05 20:09:01 * Molly blushes, looking at Amir Apr 05 20:09:20 Will it blossom? Apr 05 20:09:33 I... uhh... Apr 05 20:09:54 $ah, someone's got a thing for that!$ Apr 05 20:10:31 $busted$ Apr 05 20:10:54 * Molly gently bounces the baby on her lap, smiling but not looking up Apr 05 20:11:32 *HH chuckles* Apr 05 20:11:44 How were the negotiations love? Apr 05 20:12:07 * Molly nods, looking a little relieved Apr 05 20:13:00 Reasonably good. We were laying out roughly the sort of goods we wish to trade. We are both seeking a fair, mutually beneficial partnership Apr 05 20:13:15 Thats an excellent place to start Apr 05 20:13:49 She is unfailingly honest and doesn't beat about the bush Apr 05 20:14:20 That is problematic? Apr 05 20:29:18 The opposite Apr 05 20:29:39 She wants trade, I want trade. It's quite simple Apr 05 20:29:41 * Morgan nods Apr 05 20:29:49 Thats good. Apr 05 20:30:47 It looks very straightforward, doesn't it, lammchen, hmm? *she nuzzles him and he chuckles* Apr 05 20:31:11 Lets hope it continues Apr 05 20:31:27 * Molly nods Apr 05 20:31:31 I do too Apr 05 20:31:41 A: Mmmmmm Apr 05 20:32:06 * Molly looks at the baby, smiling "Mama" Apr 05 20:32:12 * Morgan watches them Apr 05 20:32:44 A: *he watches her with love* Mmmm Apr 05 20:33:48 That's it, nearly there... Apr 05 20:34:02 mmmaaammmmmaaaa Apr 05 20:34:35 A: *the baby looks at him* Ah-Eee Apr 05 20:34:51 * Morgan leans over, blowing raspberries on her cheek Apr 05 20:35:07 *his Apr 05 20:36:15 *Amir grabs his braid where Molly's hair is mixed in. It does feel to have grown out some* Apr 05 20:37:45 Mmmaaaaa.... Apr 05 20:38:26 A: Ahhhh Apr 05 20:38:31 mmmmm Apr 05 20:38:48 * Molly smiles, watching Morgan Apr 05 20:38:52 A: mmmmmm Apr 05 20:39:04 Mmmmaaaaa.... Apr 05 20:39:20 A: Ahhhh Apr 05 20:39:34 * Morgan blows raspberries on his cheek again Apr 05 20:39:40 HH: Gets 'is stubbornness from his Vati Apr 05 20:41:13 * Morgan nods, smiling Apr 05 20:42:02 *Amir tries to get into Morgan's arms* Apr 05 20:42:27 * Morgan smiles at him Apr 05 20:42:30 Do you mind love? Apr 05 20:42:37 * Molly shakes her head Apr 05 20:42:57 Of course not *she hands him over* I'll write a note for Edward Apr 05 20:43:57 * Morgan throws Amir and catches him Apr 05 20:43:59 Alright love Apr 05 20:45:43 * Molly looks a bit anxious Apr 05 20:45:57 Are... that won't scare him? Apr 05 20:46:24 * Morgan looks at the boy closely Apr 05 20:46:30 Are you scared little lamb? Apr 05 20:46:41 *Amir is smiling away* Apr 05 20:46:50 Doesn't look scared love Apr 05 20:46:56 * Molly nods Apr 05 20:47:04 Alright Apr 05 20:47:15 * Molly goes into the bedroom Apr 05 20:47:21 * Molly is now known as HH Apr 05 20:47:38 Mothers, man, so overprotective Apr 05 20:47:58 Its still so new to her Apr 05 20:50:20 * HH nods Apr 05 20:50:38 Yer more of an old hand. Mebbie yer just old Apr 05 20:50:47 * Morgan nods Apr 05 20:50:49 old Apr 05 20:51:21 *Amir grizzles* Apr 05 20:52:53 Oh, little lamb, are you hungry? You've just had some... Apr 05 20:54:24 Never get too much bubbies... Apr 05 20:54:47 *Amir tries to bounce on his lap* Apr 05 20:54:59 * Morgan bounces him Apr 05 20:55:03 Might have a point there Apr 05 20:55:25 If I was a babe, I'd just lie on 'em all day Apr 05 20:55:39 *Amir looks happy now he's being bounced* Apr 05 20:56:02 Sounds about right for you really Apr 05 20:56:13 I'm sorry little lamb, was I not entertaining you enough? Apr 05 20:58:39 *Amir grins* Apr 05 20:58:48 * Morgan bounces him higher Apr 05 20:59:06 Se'enteen years, kid, an' he's still not entertained me Apr 05 20:59:23 And thats because you can't entertain the brainless Apr 05 20:59:41 * HH chuckles. Amir burps loudly. Apr 05 20:59:48 charming Apr 05 20:59:58 * HH laughs Apr 05 21:00:51 *Amir enjoys the play. A few minutes later Molly returns with some paper* Apr 05 21:01:01 M: I've copied it as best I can Apr 05 21:01:16 Copied? Its done already?! Apr 05 21:01:45 M: it was already there Apr 05 21:02:07 Oh... I suppose he'd already thought of it. Apr 05 21:02:46 *Molly nods, showing him* Apr 05 21:02:53 thats... expansive Apr 05 21:03:21 * HH nods Apr 05 21:03:27 * HH is now known as Molly Apr 05 21:03:48 I'm not sure it's the full estate either, just the tamed bit Apr 05 21:04:22 * Morgan nods Apr 05 21:04:27 I think you might be right Apr 05 21:04:47 *HH looks too* looks good,man Apr 05 21:05:11 * Morgan nods Apr 05 21:05:23 Alright, so... where do we want the barn, and the house and forge? Apr 05 21:07:09 HH: by the stream between th' formal gardens an' the boundary for the house? Apr 05 21:07:40 For which? Apr 05 21:07:53 HH: our house? Apr 05 21:08:13 What do you think blossom? Apr 05 21:09:08 I think it'd be nice there, but would you worry about the babies being near the stream? Apr 05 21:09:46 HH looks to Morgan: fence the garden mebbie? Apr 05 21:13:44 Your garden? Apr 05 21:14:01 *Hh nods* Apr 05 21:14:16 It'd be doable Apr 05 21:14:22 * Molly watches Amir "Maybe I'm being overprotective, it's just... Cess." She looks to Morgan apologetically Apr 05 21:14:33 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 05 21:14:42 Its entirely understandable and a reasonable concern love Apr 05 21:14:51 * Molly nods Apr 05 21:15:06 HH: get 'em all swimming early Apr 05 21:15:27 * Morgan nods Apr 05 21:15:29 Also a good idea Apr 05 21:17:31 Will you start Amir soon? Apr 05 21:17:57 * Morgan nods Apr 05 21:18:07 I'll spend some time in Capperlucia with him in the water Apr 05 21:19:11 And me, ideally? Apr 05 21:20:02 Well, yes... but you will be busy Apr 05 21:22:43 * Molly nods Apr 05 21:23:33 *she smirks* I'm afraid so, sweetheart, but I'm sure you'll have dinner on the table for me when I get home... Apr 05 21:23:46 *HH chuckles* Apr 05 21:25:36 Shut up HeinzHarold Apr 05 21:25:50 HH: Did I say anythin'? Apr 05 21:26:08 Did you need to? Apr 05 21:28:32 HH: dunno, did I? Apr 05 21:28:57 $was thinking you should tell her what you'd have on the table for dinner was her$ Apr 05 21:29:15 * Morgan just managed to avoid snorting Apr 05 21:30:04 *Amir bounces again* Apr 05 21:30:18 * Morgan sets him bouncing Apr 05 21:32:00 HH: Figure it's a good spot. Quiet, not too far from ya but not too close to the stable smells Apr 05 21:32:07 * Morgan nods Apr 05 21:32:09 Makes sense Apr 05 21:32:25 What about the forge? Apr 05 21:35:11 Needs to be close, but not right next to it, right? Apr 05 21:36:36 HH: would give us extra heat... Ma always used t' complain about th' smell though Apr 05 21:38:33 Thats the compromise I suppose... Apr 05 21:39:28 HH: think mebbie I need t' ask Inga? Apr 05 21:39:40 * Molly tilts her head Apr 05 21:40:03 Did you know in ancient Vodacce they had a system of under floor heating? Apr 05 21:40:19 Who did they get to design that? Apr 05 21:40:43 I have no idea, it was before my time... Apr 05 21:41:05 * Molly sticks her tongue out at him. Amir copies it Apr 05 21:42:48 That bunch of magpies wouldn't have come up with it... aaaanyway... you're thinking of trying to add it? Apr 05 21:43:13 * Molly gets up, going to the bookshelf and flicking through Apr 05 21:44:16 Ah ha... a Hypocaust. Uses a furnace to force heat into a series of hollow chambers between the ground and the floor, and up pipes in the walls to heat the rooms Apr 05 21:44:54 Sounds like a lot of work Apr 05 21:45:00 HH: interestin' idea though, 'specially if you already have a furnace going... Apr 05 21:46:29 And in the summer when you're using the forge but don't want the heat in the house? Apr 05 21:46:47 HH: true Apr 05 21:46:56 * Molly nods, closing the book Apr 05 21:48:01 It's quicker to build a normal house and have my husband visit on cold days to warm it up Apr 05 21:48:33 *HH nods* Bout time he made 'imself useful Apr 05 21:48:57 * Morgan frowns ever so briefly Apr 05 21:50:40 *Amir's bottom lip sticks out at it* Apr 05 21:51:05 * Morgan bounces him again Apr 05 21:51:41 HH: barn needs to go wherever yer planning to graze and milk them Apr 05 21:52:01 * Morgan snorts, quickly shutting up Apr 05 21:52:03 * Molly turns to study the books, trying not to giggle Apr 05 21:52:31 [now there's a thought...] Apr 05 21:53:19 Where are we thinking for the private garden? Apr 05 21:53:35 * Molly comes to sit back down Apr 05 21:53:50 Do we want the stream within it? Apr 05 21:54:51 That'd be quite nice I think Apr 05 21:55:44 * Molly smiles Apr 05 21:55:56 Not near Heinzharold's house Apr 05 21:56:05 No, definitely not Apr 05 21:56:32 HH: ' Da, why is Aunty Molly prayin' so loudly?' Apr 05 21:56:39 * Molly blushes hard Apr 05 21:57:06 She swears a lot Apr 05 21:57:25 * Molly looks at him "liebes herz!" She giggles Apr 05 21:57:49 HH: she call you a cock-sucker too? Apr 05 21:58:25 * Morgan shakes his head, bouncing Amir Apr 05 21:58:39 [too busy being one...] Apr 05 21:59:09 [I was thinking something along those lines, yes] Apr 05 21:59:11 HH: shouldn't be surprised she curses in the bedroom! Apr 05 21:59:41 It's not expected of a Duchess Apr 05 22:00:55 That is true... apparently Edward finds it very enjoyable when Mina gets to the point of swearing, but in that formal way she speaks Apr 05 22:02:02 HH: Mina swears in the bedroom?! Thought she was a bit posh f' that! Apr 05 22:02:58 Apparently not... or the dirty talk Apr 05 22:03:26 *HH nods slowly* can't imagine 'er doing that Apr 05 22:03:30 Oh I can! Apr 05 22:05:25 She's outrageous... you know those times where she says something that, were it anyone else, you'd think it might have been a dirty comment, but it can't possibly be because its Mina? Apr 05 22:05:46 HH: yeah, think you said it's ackshully smutty Apr 05 22:06:22 * Morgan nods Apr 05 22:06:39 If it -could- be dirty, I'd put money on that Apr 05 22:07:27 HH: prob'ly is kinda hot when she's normally so polite an' courtly Apr 05 22:07:37 * Morgan nods Apr 05 22:07:50 * Molly nods too, then suddenly giggles Apr 05 22:07:55 What? Apr 05 22:08:09 * Molly watches him, smirking Apr 05 22:09:09 I'm imagining Saint Morgan of Puritytown having to cut off Lady Hapsburg's wedding dress as she describes in dirty talk how she wants to consummate the marriage Apr 05 22:09:22 *HH laughs hard* oh man! Apr 05 22:09:32 * Morgan blinks a couple of times Apr 05 22:09:55 See, now, I can see how it'd be quite hot but... -that- version of me... Apr 05 22:10:07 * Molly nods Apr 05 22:11:17 You'd have been horrendously embarassed Apr 05 22:11:27 * Morgan nods Apr 05 22:11:29 I reckon so Apr 05 22:12:46 [if that appeals, I do not mind buying a cheap dress for you to cut...] Apr 05 22:13:31 [something to consider, certainly] Apr 05 22:13:40 Though... it has to be witnessed... Apr 05 22:13:48 [I am at your disposal] Apr 05 22:14:08 HH: I coulda stood to hear it I guess *he grins* Apr 05 22:15:00 * Morgan stands Amir on his knees Apr 05 22:15:07 Bit weird in Graben, aren't they little lamb Apr 05 22:15:51 *Amir bounces* Apr 05 22:16:41 * Molly says in a posh voice "Firstly, I want you to slip my dress from my shoulders and bare my skin..." she giggles Apr 05 22:21:28 * Morgan sniggers Apr 05 22:21:37 *HH covers his ears* Don't you go gettin' me in trouble or I'll turn y' over my lap meself... Apr 05 22:21:51 * Molly blushes, covering her face Apr 05 22:22:09 Might give Inga ideas, though... Apr 05 22:22:40 * Molly smiles "that is a good idea" Apr 05 22:23:06 [I'll remember it for you too, shall I?] Apr 05 22:26:10 [maybe] Apr 05 22:26:45 How was Florrie? Apr 05 22:27:13 Annoyed. Its snowed Apr 05 22:27:30 Oh dear Apr 05 22:29:23 Someone just let themselves in to their house... I'm thinking maybe Elsie or James... Apr 05 22:30:03 * Molly nods Apr 05 22:30:08 I would think so Apr 05 22:30:59 * Morgan nods Apr 05 22:31:16 Alice is going to make arrangements for them to stay for a month... Apr 05 22:32:05 That's a long time! Apr 05 22:32:19 Its a long way for them to come love Apr 05 22:32:27 * Molly nods Apr 05 22:32:31 That's true Apr 05 22:32:41 Some of it will probably be spent in Sudlachenburg... Apr 05 22:32:52 * Molly nods, smiling Apr 05 22:32:58 It'll be fine Apr 05 22:33:27 [as long as we can sneak around outdoors a little it'll be fine] Apr 05 22:33:39 [I'm sure we'll manage] Apr 05 22:34:13 There'll be much to do with the baptisms Apr 05 22:34:27 * Morgan nods Apr 05 22:34:30 Yes, there will Apr 05 22:36:25 Did you ask Varick about the joint baptism? Apr 05 22:37:23 No, not yet Apr 05 22:38:05 * Molly nods, smiling at Amir Apr 05 22:38:50 You are going to be the most handsome baby to ever be baptised, aren't you, Lammchen? *He watches her, grinning* Apr 05 22:39:27 *HH grins* Mebbie in any year but '43, sure. Apr 05 22:40:11 * Morgan makes a snorting sound Apr 05 22:40:39 Except in '43 when your Vati got baptised in water from the Sudlache, hmm? Apr 05 22:40:51 HH: wait, what? Apr 05 22:41:03 What? Apr 05 22:41:44 Morgan accidentally got baptised in water from the Sudlache Apr 05 22:42:13 HH: Huh... that's pretty weird Apr 05 22:42:22 Why? Apr 05 22:42:49 HH: Y' think they'd be more careful Apr 05 22:44:02 * Morgan shrugs Apr 05 22:44:06 If it was their doing Apr 05 22:45:55 HH: short arse meddling? Apr 05 22:46:20 Seems the sort of thing they'd do Apr 05 22:46:27 * Molly nods Apr 05 22:46:50 And without that meddling, we'd not have Amir Apr 05 22:47:43 I'm not sure how that follows... Apr 05 22:48:34 They told us what town she was in. We'd never have found her otherwise Apr 05 22:50:39 yes... I thought you were connecting it somehow with my baptism... Apr 05 22:52:49 No, just the Nibelungen generally Apr 05 22:52:58 * Morgan nods Apr 05 22:53:45 *Amir seems to be concentrating* Apr 05 22:54:21 I'll go and check on Inga and Varick, it's nearly tea time Apr 05 22:55:23 Thats fortuitous timing for you... Apr 05 22:56:03 Mmhmm, so it is Apr 05 22:56:06 * Molly has been out of the door about ten seconds when Amir's expression changes from concentrating to clearly filling his nappy Apr 05 22:56:19 * Morgan sighs Apr 05 22:56:22 typical Apr 05 22:56:26 * Molly is now known as HH Apr 05 22:56:37 She's totally knew it was coming Apr 05 22:56:48 Oh yeah, absolutely Apr 05 22:57:23 *Amir grins, bouncing again* Apr 05 22:57:40 Worst part o' the job, eh? Apr 05 22:58:13 No... when they're not well, thats the worst part. This... this you can fix. Apr 05 22:58:31 Here, take him while I get the stuff to get him changed Apr 05 22:58:48 Muti like yers have, the illness bit should be fine Apr 05 22:58:53 * HH takes him Apr 05 22:59:10 Yeah, true Apr 05 22:59:37 * Morgan gets the things organised, getting setup before taking him to change him, making sure to cover him back up once the air has hit his groin Apr 05 23:00:09 'Ow come she's sticking with Mama now yer Vati? Apr 05 23:00:30 *Amir tries to roll and escape* Apr 05 23:01:19 * Morgan rolls his back Apr 05 23:01:25 Where'd you think you're going? Apr 05 23:01:41 I'm not sure... its what she grew up with though... Apr 05 23:02:25 *Amir chuckles, trying again Apr 05 23:02:59 Being Vati was important t' ya, y' disappointed not to hear yer kids call her it? Apr 05 23:03:43 * Morgan rolls him back Apr 05 23:03:58 Oi, park your backside there for a minute Apr 05 23:04:03 No, Vati wouldn't suit her Apr 05 23:05:06 *Amir lies still Apr 05 23:05:14 Y' know what I mean, dickhead Apr 05 23:06:48 * Morgan smiles Apr 05 23:06:50 Good boy Apr 05 23:06:54 * Morgan changes him quickly Apr 05 23:07:12 Ummm... no... maybe a little bit. Apr 05 23:07:22 *Amir is off crawling as soon as he can* Apr 05 23:07:46 Whysat? Apr 05 23:07:50 * Morgan sits back on his heals, watching him Apr 05 23:08:01 Feels a little like a rejection of Eisen... Apr 05 23:08:43 Seems unlikely, gi'en that she's got everything else Eisen Apr 05 23:08:57 * Morgan nods Apr 05 23:09:02 I know... Apr 05 23:09:36 Spoke to 'er about it? Apr 05 23:10:06 Nope. I can't say I'd put my finger on it til now, but like you say, its unlikely thats what it is Apr 05 23:10:15 * HH nods Apr 05 23:10:42 Yeah Apr 05 23:12:39 *Inga, Varick, Molly and the children's tea all arrive at the same time, so the next hour is taken up with that task, and Varick spends time telling Morgan about helping on deck for the afternoon. He's quite exhausted at six when it's time for Morgan to put him to bed, Amir in his arms too Apr 05 23:12:54 * HH is now known as Varick Apr 05 23:13:19 * Varick gets ready for bed and in Apr 05 23:13:54 Been a busy day, hmm? Apr 05 23:14:16 I had fun, Vati Apr 05 23:14:47 * Morgan nods Apr 05 23:14:50 Thats good Apr 05 23:15:15 * Varick makes space so Amir can be put in with him Apr 05 23:15:32 * Morgan lays Amir by him Apr 05 23:16:11 *Ulysses comes in to curl up on the foot of the bed. Varick kisses Amir's forehead "I love you, baby" Apr 05 23:16:46 * Morgan smiles, stroking his hair Apr 05 23:16:53 Amir watches him: Bee Apr 05 23:17:05 He copies you so well Apr 05 23:17:29 * Varick smiles "I think maybe he understands me more because animals do" Apr 05 23:18:11 Thats an interesting theory Apr 05 23:18:28 I wanted to ask you something... Apr 05 23:18:39 * Varick looks at him Apr 05 23:18:43 Yes, Vati? Apr 05 23:19:00 How would you feel about you and Amir sharing a baptism? Apr 05 23:19:16 * Varick nods eagerly Apr 05 23:19:19 Can we?! Apr 05 23:19:26 * Morgan nods Apr 05 23:19:45 I'll talk to your mama about it, we've been meaning to ask you what you think Apr 05 23:19:50 Yes please! Can we wear the same clothes? Apr 05 23:20:41 We'll have to see what we can get together Apr 05 23:22:04 Tomorrow, we'll show you the plans of our new home and where we're thinking of having your room Apr 05 23:22:42 * Varick nods, yawning Apr 05 23:22:50 Can we share a room then? Apr 05 23:23:14 Maybe. We'll see once we're all settled Apr 05 23:23:27 Can Amir have all his naps with me? Apr 05 23:24:16 I don't see any issue with that, as long as you're both settled... we'll have to talk about what to do if he tries to get out Apr 05 23:25:30 * Varick nods Apr 05 23:25:43 Okay Vati. I love you Apr 05 23:27:00 I love you too Varick Apr 05 23:27:45 * Varick settles to sleep with an arm over Amir who gradually falls asleep too Apr 05 23:28:47 * Morgan gently removes Amir, rocking him as he passes through the study to put him to bed Apr 05 23:29:07 *this is done easily as it's all quiet in there Apr 05 23:29:58 * Morgan moves back into the study, sitting down Apr 05 23:30:08 *it's empty * Apr 05 23:30:42 [where is everyone?] Apr 05 23:31:05 [Inga and Heinzharold are taking the evening to themselves, and I am seeing Sorgi] Apr 05 23:31:11 * Varick is now known as Molly Apr 05 23:31:35 [oh. Alright.] Apr 05 23:31:52 * Morgan pours himself some drambui, sitting back down with his small notebook, scribbling Apr 05 23:32:52 * Molly is back about twenty minutes later. She finds her sewing box with the forget me nots he got her for Prophets Mass and sits on the couch with it Apr 05 23:33:00 What are you writing, my love? Apr 05 23:34:14 Just little bits... what were you talking to Sorgi about? Apr 05 23:35:40 * Molly watches him a moment Apr 05 23:35:46 I was floating an idea Apr 05 23:36:14 Oh? Apr 05 23:37:09 That you Captain us home. Apr 05 23:37:26 I'm sorry? Apr 05 23:38:07 From Capperlucia to Morgan's Rock. You. The Captain. Sorgi takes command shifts. Apr 05 23:38:21 but... I already have command shifts Apr 05 23:38:25 * Molly watches his expression closely Apr 05 23:38:31 It's not the same, is it? Apr 05 23:38:50 * Morgan shakes his head slightly Apr 05 23:38:53 No. Its not. Apr 05 23:39:05 * Molly nods Apr 05 23:39:29 When you are truly Captain, it's not just four hours at a time Apr 05 23:39:42 No... its the whole time Apr 05 23:39:48 Exactly Apr 05 23:40:02 * Morgan watches her, looking anxious Apr 05 23:40:05 What did he say? Apr 05 23:40:32 He said he Is amenable to giving you your childhood dream, as am I Apr 05 23:41:07 He thinks I am ready for it? Apr 05 23:41:13 * Molly nods Apr 05 23:41:16 Yes he does Apr 05 23:42:07 * Molly watches him. He can see the subtle searching for his approval of her there Apr 05 23:42:13 * Morgan nods, taking a mouthful of drambui Apr 05 23:42:45 Ok.... alright.... Apr 05 23:43:25 You don't have to. He knows I hadn't told you my idea yet, but Inga mentioned this morning that you'd talked about time running out Apr 05 23:44:23 * Morgan nods, swirling his drink Apr 05 23:45:11 Childhood dream... *he looks at her, clearly anxious* what if I fuck it up? Apr 05 23:45:31 * Molly smiles Apr 05 23:46:03 You won't, my love, not to any degree more than any normal Captain makes minor incorrect decisions Apr 05 23:47:02 * Morgan nods, whispering Apr 05 23:47:04 Thank you Apr 05 23:47:18 For reassuring you? Apr 05 23:47:34 For giving me the opportunity Apr 05 23:48:21 * Molly smiles "you've give me a beloved husband, beautiful children, and a lovely home. It is only fair that I make your dream come true in return" Apr 05 23:49:34 * Morgan nods, taking a dream breath and releasing it slowly Apr 05 23:50:19 * Molly smiles, stitching again, looking happy and calm Apr 05 23:51:00 I could think of no Captain I would trust more to take myself and my children safely home Apr 05 23:51:28 I hope you don't come to change that belief Apr 05 23:51:39 I won't. Apr 05 23:51:59 Why is it you don't want to be called Muti? Apr 05 23:52:17 That's a fair change of subject, my love! Apr 05 23:53:08 * Morgan nods Apr 05 23:53:12 I know Apr 05 23:53:33 There are a few reasons Apr 05 23:56:29 it's a softer sound. it is easier for small children to learn and say. It stands the test of time where Muti usually becomes Mutter to older children. Varick chose it despite not calling Alarice or Natasha Muti. Also, I thought you would find it hard to hear children calling it but it not being Dietlinde that was there to attend to and comfort your Apr 05 23:56:30 children Apr 05 23:57:05 I see Apr 05 23:57:29 * Molly nods, still sewing, relaxed Apr 05 23:58:16 Is it something that troubles you? Apr 05 23:58:31 No... no I can't say it is Apr 05 23:58:47 * Molly nods Apr 05 23:58:59 Just curiosity?
