**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Apr 12 00:24:50 2023 Apr 12 00:24:50 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 12 00:33:23 * MollyK has quit (Ping Timeout) Apr 12 03:27:15 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 12 03:27:15 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Apr 12 14:27:03 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Apr 12 14:43:04 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 12 14:44:52 I could try magic or herbs to perk you up... Apr 12 14:45:13 * Morgan lifts his cup Apr 12 14:45:16 I've got magic right here Apr 12 14:46:10 * MollyK smiles, leaning over to kiss his cheek "and here?" Apr 12 14:46:16 Well, yes Apr 12 14:46:57 Do you need to rush on deck, or did you wish to look at the name list? Apr 12 14:47:16 We can talk about it Apr 12 14:47:26 * MollyK smiles Apr 12 14:47:43 They are mostly names that have appeared in dreams Apr 12 14:49:11 * Morgan nods Apr 12 14:49:13 aye Apr 12 14:49:45 Are there any that you particularly like or dislike? Apr 12 14:50:15 I -really- like Merrick Apr 12 14:50:32 * MollyK smiles Apr 12 14:50:50 For our first born? Apr 12 14:51:02 * Morgan nods Apr 12 14:52:52 It means rule, or fame Apr 12 14:53:03 Seems apt then Apr 12 14:53:20 Merrick Morgan Koertig? Apr 12 14:55:05 Thats not too bad is it? Although, is aliteration an issue? Apr 12 14:55:48 No... but we will have a lot of Ms, won't we? Apr 12 14:56:29 * Morgan nods Apr 12 14:57:11 * MollyK smiles Apr 12 14:57:21 But not all Ms, I think Apr 12 14:57:40 no Apr 12 14:57:59 What else do you like? Apr 12 14:58:50 *the list was: Wilhelm, Merrick, Ehren, Lukas, Leopold, Senner, Tomas, Nikolaus, Christopher, Hans. Adalie, Adelaide, Madchen, Madelena, Sonnenshien, Konstanza, Lorelei, Violet, Sophie, Hannalore, Ursula.* Apr 12 14:59:10 I'm not sure about Hannalore if I'm honest... Apr 12 14:59:19 I love the name, but... Apr 12 15:00:28 You don't like the person its connected to Apr 12 15:00:47 No. Hannah is pretty, but Heinzharold has a sister called Hannah Apr 12 15:01:11 * Morgan nods Apr 12 15:03:10 We can take that one off? Apr 12 15:03:44 I think so, yes Apr 12 15:04:30 * MollyK nods Apr 12 15:05:16 I like Lorelei, though it does mean one whose singing lures men to their deaths... Apr 12 15:06:06 unfortunate Apr 12 15:06:12 * MollyK nods Apr 12 15:06:50 Though it would be sweet to use a name your parents might have chosen had you had a sister Apr 12 15:07:02 * Morgan nods Apr 12 15:07:05 Yes, I agree Apr 12 15:07:15 Though we might want to ask them about that... Apr 12 15:07:22 * MollyK nods Apr 12 15:07:38 Remembering, of course, that Edward has reserved Brumhilde... Apr 12 15:08:00 * Morgan nods Apr 12 15:08:06 Indeed... Apr 12 15:08:22 We wouldn't want to take that from him Apr 12 15:08:27 * MollyK smirks Apr 12 15:08:56 No, that would be quite dishonourable Apr 12 15:10:13 They liked Violet too Apr 12 15:10:43 * Morgan nods Apr 12 15:12:11 It would be sweet as a middle name? All the girls could have flower middle names? Apr 12 15:13:09 * Morgan nods Apr 12 15:13:11 That'd be nice Apr 12 15:13:39 Though also they will have an honouring middle name too? Apr 12 15:14:17 That would be appropriate wouldn't it Apr 12 15:14:21 * MollyK nods Apr 12 15:14:28 If you would wish to? Apr 12 15:14:51 * Morgan nods Apr 12 15:15:01 I think so, yes Apr 12 15:15:07 * MollyK nods Apr 12 15:15:21 Might you like Claudia for an honouring name too? Apr 12 15:16:10 * Morgan nods Apr 12 15:16:14 yes. Without doubt. Apr 12 15:16:29 * MollyK smiles Apr 12 15:16:35 That's easier for you? Apr 12 15:16:42 Easier? Apr 12 15:17:12 Than deciding to use Dietlinde or Jana as an honour name for our daughters? Apr 12 15:18:08 I think.... Both would be a reasonable thing to do... Apr 12 15:18:42 I would like to use all three, but only if it wouldn't be too painful for you, and we have enough daughters! Apr 12 15:18:49 * Morgan nods Apr 12 15:19:22 I'd like to, yes Apr 12 15:19:30 * MollyK nods Apr 12 15:19:42 And Inga, if we have four? Apr 12 15:19:49 * Morgan nods Apr 12 15:19:55 definitely. I was just thinking the same thing Apr 12 15:19:59 * MollyK smiles Apr 12 15:20:02 Good Apr 12 15:20:44 What else from the list, my love? Madchen is set in stone already Apr 12 15:21:39 * Morgan nods, smiling Apr 12 15:21:48 I was thinking maybe her honour name could be Inga... Apr 12 15:22:33 * MollyK nods Apr 12 15:22:49 -I- was just thinking -that-! Apr 12 15:22:54 Oh? Apr 12 15:23:15 Madchen Edelweiss Jana Koertig? Apr 12 15:24:10 * Morgan looks confused Apr 12 15:24:15 I thought we just said Inga... Apr 12 15:24:43 Oh, then we are not thinking the same! *she smiles* that works too Apr 12 15:24:51 What were you thinking? Apr 12 15:25:16 What I have just said, that Jana is Madchen's honour name Apr 12 15:25:54 * Morgan nods slowly Apr 12 15:25:57 right... okay... Apr 12 15:26:39 My love, it's a suggestion, not an edict. Did you have another name in mind to pair it with, or just for the firstborn, whoever she may be? Apr 12 15:28:54 I was just thinking that she sees things others do not... Apr 12 15:29:24 Yes...? Apr 12 15:29:50 Given Madchens peculiar insights... the two names would be appropriate... Apr 12 15:30:11 Madchen and Inga? Apr 12 15:30:42 * Morgan nods Apr 12 15:30:52 * MollyK nods Apr 12 15:31:07 That being said... the names you suggested do fit rather well together Apr 12 15:31:45 I am happy with either. Your closeness already with Madchen seemed like a natural pairing with Jana, that's all Apr 12 15:31:55 * Morgan nods Apr 12 15:32:06 You're probably right Apr 12 15:32:12 * MollyK nods Apr 12 15:32:42 Rose and Lily are nice floral names, but they're better suited to longer first names and honour names Apr 12 15:33:26 * Morgan nods Apr 12 15:33:57 And Violet would be nice too. What girls names did you like? Apr 12 15:34:47 * Morgan smiles slightly Apr 12 15:34:54 Konstanza... Connie... Apr 12 15:35:06 With a K or a C? Apr 12 15:36:08 K Apr 12 15:36:57 Konstanza Violet? That's a strong name... Apr 12 15:37:03 * Morgan nods Apr 12 15:37:05 Yes, it is Apr 12 15:37:12 * MollyK smiles Apr 12 15:37:39 It's a very vivacious name... suited to a very influential young woman Apr 12 15:38:19 * Morgan nods Apr 12 15:38:20 Yes Apr 12 15:38:58 Konstaza Violet Dietlinde Koertig? I don't think Claudia flows so naturally there? Apr 12 15:39:22 I'm inclined to agree... Apr 12 15:39:57 You are not sure, now you hear it said together, that you can use her name? Apr 12 15:40:34 I'm not sure... Apr 12 15:40:43 * MollyK nods Apr 12 15:40:55 Konstanza Violet, for now. Apr 12 15:41:43 * Morgan nods, staring at his coffee Apr 12 15:41:53 * MollyK looks at him Apr 12 15:41:57 My love? Apr 12 15:43:55 I'm... I'm not sure I -need- to. Apr 12 15:45:22 Talk to me, my darling... need to what? Apr 12 15:46:28 If we were to have less girls than we have honour names for... I think... Inga's would be more appropriate Apr 12 15:47:21 That sounds like a careful comment, my love... *she sets the bottle carefully down before doing up her dress* Apr 12 15:47:38 Oh? Apr 12 15:48:22 You wonder that the need to carry her name to your daughters is not as pressing as it might have been? Apr 12 15:49:10 * Morgan nods Apr 12 15:51:57 * MollyK nods, taking his hand Apr 12 15:52:34 Have you ever seen a kingfisher, or some other bird or animal equally beautiful? Apr 12 15:53:29 like... a drachen... Apr 12 15:53:49 Yes... I suppose that would count... Apr 12 15:57:23 It comes into your life, and it is so very beautiful, and your heart rushes. You can watch it a while, enjoy what it does and how it makes you feel in that moment, so very mindful and aware. But then it goes. You cannot keep it, it's impossible. But you can keep the memories of how it was, and how you felt. Those are yours forever, and it is free Apr 12 15:57:23 to be where it belongs, in the peace of nature, free and not constrained. Apr 12 15:58:03 * Morgan nods Apr 12 15:58:05 yes... Apr 12 15:58:35 I think maybe that is where you are coming to be, my love. Apr 12 15:59:12 * Morgan sighs Apr 12 15:59:13 Maybe Apr 12 15:59:45 That is alright. You are allowed to do that Apr 12 16:00:49 * Morgan nods Apr 12 16:01:21 * MollyK kisses his knuckles Apr 12 16:03:28 I think we need three girls names. We might not even think they fit once babies come along, but Madchen's name, plus an idea in case of twins, might serve us well for now. It can all be changed according to what we feel nearer the time Apr 12 16:05:05 * Morgan nods Apr 12 16:05:08 Thats a good idea Apr 12 16:05:53 * MollyK nods Apr 12 16:06:01 What about another first name? Apr 12 16:07:09 * Morgan shrugs Apr 12 16:08:24 What have you got in mind? Apr 12 16:08:41 Those on the list, though I am open to others Apr 12 16:10:15 Lorelei... I do like that... Apr 12 16:10:56 * MollyK nods Apr 12 16:11:06 It's a gentle name Apr 12 16:11:27 * Morgan nods Apr 12 16:11:47 Not Lorelei Lily though, it's unwieldy Apr 12 16:12:39 * Morgan nods Apr 12 16:12:40 True Apr 12 16:13:47 Lorelei Rose Claudia Koertig? Or Primrose? Or Hyacinth? Apr 12 16:14:02 Primrose. Apr 12 16:14:10 * MollyK smiles Apr 12 16:14:14 Alright then Apr 12 16:15:54 Madchen Edelweiss Jana, or Madchen Violet Jana? Apr 12 16:16:14 Edelweiss, I think Apr 12 16:16:21 * MollyK nods Apr 12 16:16:44 And provisionally Konstanza Violet Inga? Apr 12 16:17:31 * Morgan nods Apr 12 16:17:32 Yes Apr 12 16:17:55 That will be our firstborn daughter's name, if Madchen is not first? Apr 12 16:18:03 * Morgan nods Apr 12 16:18:05 Yes, I think so Apr 12 16:19:32 Wonderful *she smiles* And Merrick Morgan... we should have a second name for a boy in case it is twins first? Apr 12 16:19:41 * Morgan nods Apr 12 16:19:47 Good idea... Apr 12 16:20:56 *He hadn't told her that in the faked dreams his son was called Johannes, shortened to JoJo, but the boy has been called just Hans, after Morgan's uncle, in other threads* Apr 12 16:22:11 Senner... Johannes... Apr 12 16:22:13 ? Apr 12 16:22:34 Those are both nice, yes. Paired with what? Apr 12 16:22:47 No... Senner Johannes... Apr 12 16:23:13 * MollyK nods "I did wonder if you would use Edward" Apr 12 16:24:28 I will. At some point. Apr 12 16:26:53 * MollyK nods Apr 12 16:27:06 Alright my love, if that is what you like Apr 12 16:27:40 Johannes is what Hans was called in that thread where their deaths had been faked. Apr 12 16:27:56 * MollyK nods Apr 12 16:28:07 Then it is fitting to use it Apr 12 16:28:29 * Morgan nods Apr 12 16:29:04 * MollyK kisses his knuckles again Apr 12 16:29:16 Five babies... we must be quite mad! Apr 12 16:29:37 Five? Apr 12 16:29:47 That we've loosely given names Apr 12 16:31:50 * Morgan nods Apr 12 16:31:54 It doesn't hurt to be prepared Apr 12 16:32:05 * MollyK nods, smiling Apr 12 16:32:52 Can you imagine calling all those names out over the formal gardens of Hafenlohr, telling them all to stop playing and come to the table for their tea? Apr 12 16:34:04 * Morgan tilts his head for a moment Apr 12 16:34:08 yes. Apr 12 16:34:16 * MollyK smiles Apr 12 16:34:41 Me too... though Amir needs an Eisen name too... something that sounds similar would be good... Apr 12 16:35:12 * Morgan nods Apr 12 16:35:16 I'm leaning towards Lukas Apr 12 16:36:01 * MollyK giggles "that doesn't sound like Amir" Apr 12 16:36:15 Why would it need to be similar? Apr 12 16:36:47 I suppose it wouldn't, unless you wished to transition him to it in his early years Apr 12 16:37:57 Right... none of those names are anything like it... Apr 12 16:38:29 No Apr 12 16:41:04 *the only one he can think of is Emil, which would be pronounced eh-MEEL, and the name of Grendlik's Niedersachsen Father according to Baelor's note* Apr 12 16:41:31 Could be difficult... given... that is Holzheims fathers name Apr 12 16:41:46 What is, my love? Apr 12 16:42:30 Emil Apr 12 16:43:02 Oh, you told me just that he was a Niedersachsen. It is very close... Apr 12 16:43:18 * Morgan nods Apr 12 16:43:20 It is, yes Apr 12 16:43:28 * MollyK watches him Apr 12 16:43:35 What do you think of it? Apr 12 16:44:26 * Morgan pulls a face Apr 12 16:44:33 You are proposing to... change his name? Apr 12 16:44:52 Not proposing, just mulling over the idea Apr 12 16:46:44 * Morgan nods Apr 12 16:46:59 Emil would serve as a suitable name if that was the case Apr 12 16:48:07 It's close enough that he might not be able to tell any difference... and Amir is not his baptised name... Apr 12 16:49:12 That is true... but what about Holzheim? Apr 12 16:50:31 I cannot imagine Grendlik denying any child anything. It's not an unheard of name, and if we'd come across it another way we might have liked it anyway? Apr 12 16:50:42 * Morgan nods Apr 12 16:50:44 I suppose... Apr 12 16:51:52 If he did not have to have an Eisen middle name, he could be Emil Zareen Koertig... Apr 12 16:52:29 * Morgan nods Apr 12 16:52:37 I suppose he could, yes Apr 12 16:53:11 Something to consider before we get home? Or as you say, Amir Lukas Koertig Apr 12 16:54:07 * Morgan nods Apr 12 16:54:12 Definitely something to consider Apr 12 16:54:54 * MollyK nods, smiling thoughtfully Apr 12 16:55:31 * Morgan sips his coffee Apr 12 16:56:20 Sometimes it still surprises me... Apr 12 16:58:14 What's that? Apr 12 16:58:31 * MollyK smiles gently at him "picking baby names with you" Apr 12 16:59:16 Why? Apr 12 17:01:27 That you want babies... that you want them with -me- Apr 12 17:01:56 I wasn't expecting to want them so badly Apr 12 17:02:25 * MollyK nods "when I agreed to be your mistress, I thought we'd never have any" Apr 12 17:03:16 * Morgan nods Apr 12 17:03:20 Me too, frankly Apr 12 17:03:54 * MollyK nods Apr 12 17:04:05 It was a sacrifice I was willing to make Apr 12 17:04:31 * Morgan nods Apr 12 17:05:18 Then when you proposed you said there'd by heirs to scupper Edward's hopes of being the Graf... Apr 12 17:05:59 * Morgan nods Apr 12 17:06:08 And heirs were expected of a Graf Apr 12 17:06:15 * MollyK nods Apr 12 17:06:40 You'd have done that duty Apr 12 17:07:02 * Morgan nods Apr 12 17:07:03 yes Apr 12 17:07:31 * MollyK smiles a little "You would only have enjoyed the first hour of that endeavour..." Apr 12 17:08:30 Sorry? Apr 12 17:09:04 You'd have enjoyed making the babies, my love. The rest you wouldn't have enjoyed so much Apr 12 17:09:43 Or maybe... no, you're probably right Apr 12 17:12:44 Maybe you might have softened to it? Apr 12 17:13:58 maybe. But I suspect I needed the shock of Florrie to really get through it Apr 12 17:15:23 Oh I have no doubt something would have come to a head. Either I would have been emotional and we'd have had a spectacular row, my mother would have had stern words about being a parent after a bereavement, or your mother would have very gently expressed a disappointment that you were not involved and enthusiastic Apr 12 17:16:28 perhaps Apr 12 17:19:34 * MollyK squeezes his hand Apr 12 17:19:52 I am almost entirely relieved that we are not in that situation Apr 12 17:20:14 * Morgan nods Apr 12 17:20:15 Me too Apr 12 17:20:57 The only exception being that, like Jarvie, our baby could arrive any day now? Apr 12 17:21:13 * Morgan shrugs Apr 12 17:21:15 It is what it is Apr 12 17:21:30 We might not have taken on Varick, and certainly not Amir if that were the case Apr 12 17:22:41 * MollyK nods Apr 12 17:22:53 Most likely... although... Apr 12 17:24:01 Although? Apr 12 17:26:40 As soon as it became clear Betuana could not love him as we did, we'd have wanted him even if I was with child Apr 12 17:26:50 possibly Apr 12 17:27:28 And I would have argued for taking on Varick, I'd already wanted that before we were wed Apr 12 17:28:31 * Morgan nods Apr 12 17:29:45 I will do my best not to try to adopt lots more children, my love *she smiles* Apr 12 17:31:10 Probably best not, in case we lose one in the house somewhere Apr 12 17:31:23 * MollyK nods Apr 12 17:31:37 Cow bells, my love. Lots of cow bells. Apr 12 17:32:19 * Morgan nods Apr 12 17:32:22 Good idea Apr 12 17:32:25 Besides, unless one can also control temperature, you should be able to find them all easily Apr 12 17:33:16 * Morgan nods Apr 12 17:33:18 That is true, yes Apr 12 17:33:46 * MollyK nods, looking at the window Apr 12 17:33:52 You're going to miss dawn Apr 12 17:35:15 * Morgan glances at the window Apr 12 17:35:28 Alright. I'll not be long Apr 12 17:35:41 * MollyK nods Apr 12 17:35:52 Yes, my love Apr 12 17:36:16 * Morgan kisses her cheek before heading up on deck Apr 12 17:39:07 *The crew are moving the ship out* Apr 12 17:39:22 *It's alright a little warm* Apr 12 17:40:05 * Morgan climbs up high into the rigging and out one of the arms Apr 12 17:42:08 *he gets peace and quiet out here, nothing to see but the sea* Apr 12 17:42:27 * Morgan watches the horizon quietly as the sun rises Apr 12 17:44:29 *it does so in it's usual fashion* Apr 12 17:45:01 [I am being head butted in the chest, do you still wish to feed him?] Apr 12 17:45:12 [I'll be there in a moment] Apr 12 17:45:53 *no one interrupts him* Apr 12 17:45:59 * Morgan drops down the rigging at an alarming speed, hitting the deck gently before going back to his cabin Apr 12 17:48:05 * MollyK is in a shift when she brings Amir to him, bottle and cup on the desk Apr 12 17:48:29 I had to give him just a little, but he's still eager Apr 12 17:48:48 * Morgan nods, getting comfortable and starting to feed him Apr 12 17:48:55 Good morning little lamb Apr 12 17:49:38 * MollyK goes to get dressed and ready for the day. Amir drinks the milk fast, watching Morgan and fiddling with his shirt buttons Apr 12 17:50:08 * Morgan talks quietly to him as he feeds Apr 12 17:52:14 *Amir watches him adoringly as usual* Apr 12 17:52:56 What do you think about being called Emil, hmm? Apr 12 17:54:24 *the baby just watches him, concentrating on feeding* Apr 12 17:54:54 Wouldn't want you to be angry with us for changing it, see Apr 12 17:55:26 *he still watches Morgan with love and trust* Apr 12 17:55:51 * Morgan strokes his hair gently as he watches the boy Apr 12 17:56:51 *he drinks it quite swiftly, though is finished before it runs out* Apr 12 17:57:12 Close run thing, huh Apr 12 17:58:01 *Amir smiles at him* Apr 12 18:00:06 Thats what I thought kid Apr 12 18:01:01 *Amir tries to pull up to sitting* Apr 12 18:01:53 * Morgan helps him, rubbing his back Apr 12 18:02:06 *the baby burps really loudly. Molly looks out of the door* was that the baby?! Apr 12 18:02:31 * Morgan nods Apr 12 18:02:34 It was indeed Apr 12 18:04:53 * MollyK smiles, going back into the bedroom Apr 12 18:05:38 *Amir smiles, babbling* Apr 12 18:06:10 Oh really? And what about the sheep? Apr 12 18:09:35 A: bah bah Apr 12 18:09:50 * Morgan nods, singing baa baa black sheep ti him Apr 12 18:10:31 *Varick comes out of his room, joining them* Apr 12 18:10:35 * MollyK is now known as Varick Apr 12 18:11:51 Hello Mauschen Apr 12 18:12:34 * Varick tickles under Amir's chin Apr 12 18:12:50 It's really early Apr 12 18:13:38 It is quite early, yes Apr 12 18:14:35 Do you have to do a watch today? *he's not on til midnight* Apr 12 18:15:19 Not until midnight Apr 12 18:16:51 I have to do more lessons Apr 12 18:17:02 * Morgan nods Apr 12 18:17:06 They are important Apr 12 18:18:58 * Varick nods, sighing Apr 12 18:19:03 Yes, Vati Apr 12 18:19:09 A: Bah-Eee Apr 12 18:19:44 * Morgan smiles, stroking the younger boys head Apr 12 18:19:48 How did you sleep Varick? Apr 12 18:21:56 Okay. I dreamt I was a horse, and my rider was stupid Apr 12 18:22:29 Thats unfortunate Apr 12 18:23:42 It's okay, I threw him over a fence. I wonder if I was Xantha? Apr 12 18:27:54 * Varick has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Apr 12 19:10:13 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 12 19:10:29 Yes, Vati Apr 12 19:10:29 A: Bah-Eee Apr 12 19:10:29 * Morgan smiles, stroking the younger boys head Apr 12 19:10:29 How did you sleep Varick? Apr 12 19:10:29 Okay. I dreamt I was a horse, and my rider was stupid Apr 12 19:10:32 Thats unfortunate Apr 12 19:10:34 It's okay, I threw him over a fence. I wonder if I was Xantha? Apr 12 19:10:41 Depends... did you try to bite him? Or headbutt him? Or stamp on his foot? Apr 12 19:12:26 V: I was going too fast Apr 12 19:13:50 That does sound a bit like him Apr 12 19:15:39 *Varick nods, tickling Amir again* Apr 12 19:15:48 Did you dream you were a horse? Apr 12 19:15:54 * MollyK is now known as Varick Apr 12 19:16:03 No, I don't dream things like that Apr 12 19:16:45 What do you dream? Apr 12 19:17:04 I dream about the way things could have been... or have nightmares Apr 12 19:17:22 That doesn't sound nice Apr 12 19:17:43 No, they're not usually Apr 12 19:19:32 What do babies dream of? Apr 12 19:19:38 * Morgan shrugs Apr 12 19:19:40 Feeding probably Apr 12 19:19:46 [the same thing Heinzharold does!] Apr 12 19:19:57 [quite so] Apr 12 19:20:10 That doesn't sound very interesting Apr 12 19:20:32 I'd say its the most interesting thing for him Apr 12 19:21:35 When he's older he will dream of playing Apr 12 19:21:47 * Morgan nods Apr 12 19:21:51 Yes, he will Apr 12 19:22:12 Can we show him the lantern now? Apr 12 19:22:51 * Morgan nods Apr 12 19:23:13 Thats a good idea... blossom... would you dig out the lantern with the drachens fire please Apr 12 19:24:19 *Molly brings it in a few moments later. Amir is immediately staring at it intently, fascinated* Apr 12 19:25:42 Well... that got his attention Apr 12 19:26:52 *Amir starts to kick his legs excitedly, arms waving* Bah! bah! Apr 12 19:27:05 * Varick smiles "he likes it!" Apr 12 19:27:15 * Morgan nods Apr 12 19:27:15 *Molly brings it closer* Apr 12 19:27:17 Definitely does Apr 12 19:28:00 A: *he stares at it as if he's watching small movements, though to Morgan it's just a static flame* Apr 12 19:28:30 * Morgan gently reaches out with his magic, feeling at the flame Apr 12 19:32:45 *it is warm rather than hot. He can easily make it much stronger, and can dim it almost to nothing. He can also make it into a live flame this time where he couldn't before. Amir is extremely excited by this* Apr 12 19:34:08 * Morgan relents Apr 12 19:34:10 huh Apr 12 19:34:44 A: *he looks to Morgan* bah? Apr 12 19:35:37 Was that exciting little one? Apr 12 19:37:07 *Amir grins* Bah! *he looks back to the lantern with fascination* Apr 12 19:37:42 That raises an interesting idea... Apr 12 19:38:22 M: yes? Apr 12 19:38:59 The flame... feels the same as the flame at the golden lantern, the one that was taken from the barrier... Apr 12 19:39:12 M: from the inside, yes Apr 12 19:39:29 * Morgan nods Apr 12 19:40:30 M: what are you thinking, my love? Apr 12 19:41:30 Well... could the barrier have been made with the help of the drachen? Apr 12 19:42:18 *Molly nods slowly* which begs the question... why? Apr 12 19:42:31 * Morgan shrugs Apr 12 19:42:34 Who knows Apr 12 19:43:23 A barrier stops things getting in Apr 12 19:43:33 * Morgan nods Apr 12 19:43:35 Yes it does Apr 12 19:45:13 [it also stops things getting out...] Apr 12 19:45:55 [just what I was thinking/] Apr 12 19:46:28 [we are having some very similar thoughts today!] Apr 12 19:51:37 * Morgan nods Apr 12 19:53:05 M: However he sees it, it must be very pretty Apr 12 19:54:03 * Morgan nods, reaching out with his magic again Apr 12 20:00:05 *the same thing happens. Amir looks so excited about it, clapping his hands together Apr 12 20:00:37 * Morgan does it for a couple of minutes to keep Amir amused before stopping Apr 12 20:20:25 *Amir doesn't tire of it, and cries when it is put away before the imminent arrival of the others. Once he's settled playing on the floor with Varick, Molly does that thing to Morgan that HH says Inga does, making a quiet moan in his ear, far too quiet for the boys to hear, that sounds like she does as she gets very close to orgasm* Apr 12 20:26:59 * Morgan blushes hard Apr 12 20:27:34 * Varick giggles, kissing his cheek before going to answer the knock at the door Apr 12 20:27:39 * Varick is now known as Molly Apr 12 20:27:56 * Morgan watches her Apr 12 20:28:32 * Molly lets Xsarlac, Betuana, Inga and HH in, then watches Morgan with mischief Apr 12 20:28:46 [are you well, my love?] Apr 12 20:29:07 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 12 20:31:02 * Molly is now known as HH Apr 12 20:31:17 * HH comes over to him Apr 12 20:31:30 How was yer watch? Apr 12 20:32:24 Quiet, peaceful Apr 12 20:34:14 * HH nods "sounds good. All good in 'ere?" Apr 12 20:34:34 * Morgan nods, bouncing Amir Apr 12 20:34:41 You got watch this morning? Apr 12 20:35:24 Nope, free an' easy t'day Apr 12 20:36:35 Good... come with me *he stands up* Molly, we'll be back in a minute love Apr 12 20:37:37 *Molly nods* Apr 12 20:37:57 * Morgan heads out and into the ballroom Apr 12 20:40:19 * HH follows Apr 12 20:40:31 Wassup? Apr 12 20:41:18 I... we're thinking we might change Amir's name when he's baptised... to an Eisen name... Apr 12 20:44:14 * HH nods Apr 12 20:44:16 Alright? Apr 12 20:44:25 Thinking Emil Zareen.... Apr 12 20:44:36 * HH nods Apr 12 20:44:43 Sounds a lot like Amir Apr 12 20:44:48 * Morgan nods Apr 12 20:44:55 Should make it easier for him Apr 12 20:46:15 * HH nods Apr 12 20:46:27 Yeah, fit in better Apr 12 20:47:07 * Morgan nods, rubbing his hands together Apr 12 20:47:18 *he thinks* Think it means "strives for" or "excels" Apr 12 20:47:53 * Morgan nods Apr 12 20:47:56 Sounds about right Apr 12 20:51:14 * HH nods Apr 12 20:51:23 Nice t' have Zareen's name too Apr 12 20:52:48 * Morgan nods Apr 12 20:53:12 Yeah... yeah... I'm not sure I'm going to use Dietlinde's name as an honour name... Apr 12 20:53:28 * Morgan looks at HeinzHarold, obviously looking for reassurance Apr 12 20:53:41 * HH frowns a little "Molly pushin' back against it?" Apr 12 20:54:23 No, not at all. Apr 12 20:54:32 * HH nods, opening his arms Apr 12 20:54:48 * Morgan moves into them, putting his face against HeinzHarolds shoulder Apr 12 20:55:09 * HH puts a hand on the back of his neck like his Da always did Apr 12 20:55:24 Gotta do what feels right for ya, man Apr 12 20:55:38 * Morgan nods Apr 12 20:55:51 I just... I don't know that I -need- to anymore. Is that awful? Apr 12 20:56:08 Nah, man. It's not awful Apr 12 20:56:43 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 12 20:57:25 What's brought y' to feelin' it? Apr 12 20:57:50 I dunno... its been a gradual thing... I'm letting her go I think Apr 12 20:58:02 * HH nods Apr 12 20:58:46 That's okay, man. It's part of your healin' Apr 12 21:00:09 * Morgan nods Apr 12 21:00:27 She wouldn't want me clinging to her memory like this Apr 12 21:01:37 No, she'd want ya t' live th' life Theus gave ya, an' let her be at peace Apr 12 21:01:46 * Morgan nods Apr 12 21:04:03 * HH hugs him tighter "Y' spoke to Molly about this?" Apr 12 21:04:28 We were talking about names earlier Apr 12 21:04:40 * HH nods Apr 12 21:05:21 They love doin' that Apr 12 21:05:33 * Morgan nods Apr 12 21:05:52 Gonn' use Jana, obviously... and Claudia... and Inga, if thats alright Apr 12 21:07:07 * HH nods, smiling "she'll love tha'" Apr 12 21:07:51 She's important to us Apr 12 21:11:02 * HH nods Apr 12 21:11:12 Yep. Loves you all a lot Apr 12 21:11:41 * Morgan nods Apr 12 21:11:46 She's got me rather figured out Apr 12 21:14:20 Reck'n? Apr 12 21:14:41 * Morgan nods Apr 12 21:15:20 Oh yeah... don't doubt it for a second. She does, however, need putting over your knee for telling Molly about the moaning in your ear Apr 12 21:16:16 * HH laughs Apr 12 21:16:31 Yeah, yer brother is gettin' that today too Apr 12 21:17:14 Ah... an organised strike... Apr 12 21:17:24 * HH nods Apr 12 21:17:47 'Sides, spankin' is your wife's thing, not mine Apr 12 21:18:20 Hardly a punishment if they enjoy it Apr 12 21:20:37 'Less you do it super gentle then stop Apr 12 21:21:23 * Morgan nods, straightening up Apr 12 21:21:26 alright... I'm ok Apr 12 21:21:31 * HH nods Apr 12 21:22:32 You tried gettin' revenge for the ear thing? Apr 12 21:22:45 She only did it just before you all came in Apr 12 21:22:51 * HH laughs Apr 12 21:22:54 Cunnin' Apr 12 21:23:17 * Morgan nods Apr 12 21:23:21 Quite Apr 12 21:23:59 Be interestin' to see how Edward handles it Apr 12 21:24:46 I'll ask him later Apr 12 21:26:05 * HH nods, patting his back Apr 12 21:26:22 Bet he doesn't even look phased Apr 12 21:26:42 Thats because it doesn't affect girls like it does us Apr 12 21:29:05 Reck'n we need t' test that theory... Apr 12 21:30:05 I was referring to Edward, but I agree Apr 12 21:32:05 * HH nods Apr 12 21:33:07 Sounds like a mission Apr 12 21:33:14 * Morgan nods Apr 12 21:33:22 Aye. We'll see to that later Apr 12 21:34:37 * HH nods Apr 12 21:34:49 Best get back Apr 12 21:36:12 * Morgan nods Apr 12 21:36:14 Thanks man Apr 12 21:36:27 Anytime, y' know that Apr 12 21:37:41 * Morgan nods, heading back to his cabin Apr 12 21:37:45 *they get resettled for the lesson. Amir has little interest in Betuana, and when he gets hungry near lunchtime it's Molly he cries and reaches for* Apr 12 21:39:51 *Molly takes him through to the bedroom to feed him. There's a knock at the door* Apr 12 21:41:11 * Morgan goes to open it Apr 12 21:44:29 *the sailor looks a little uneasy* Cap'n wants you on deck, my Lord. Soon as you can. Apr 12 21:46:09 * Morgan nods Apr 12 21:46:17 I'll be there in a moment Apr 12 21:46:26 * Morgan looks round Apr 12 21:46:37 Inga, can you let Molly know I've been called on deck Apr 12 21:48:19 *Inga nods* Of course Apr 12 21:48:48 * Morgan grabs his sword belt, fastening it as he makes his way quickly up on deck Apr 12 21:50:11 * HH is now known as Sorgi Apr 12 21:50:28 * Sorgi is waiting for him, motioning him to one side Apr 12 21:50:40 * Morgan moves to his side Apr 12 21:51:11 Can you take the afternoon watch in the nest, m'lord? Apr 12 21:52:33 Is there an issue? Apr 12 21:53:05 * Sorgi nods slightly Apr 12 21:53:20 Alexei thinks he saw a dragon. Apr 12 21:54:16 Right... Apr 12 21:55:11 You're the most level-headed, m'lord. I want you up there just in case. Apr 12 21:55:42 I'd have thought we're a little far out to see them already... Apr 12 21:56:45 I wouldn't like to say, m'lord Apr 12 21:57:51 * Morgan nods Apr 12 21:57:52 What time? Apr 12 21:59:13 Ideally now until the end of the watch at four Apr 12 22:01:15 * Morgan nods Apr 12 22:01:21 Aye cap'n Apr 12 22:01:37 [I'm needed to take watch love. I won't be back until after four] Apr 12 22:02:54 * Morgan heads over to the mast, climbing up the rigging to the nest Apr 12 22:03:32 [oh. I am sorry to hear that] Apr 12 22:04:06 *The man called Alexei looks relieved to be swapped off, climbing down* Apr 12 22:05:48 [Alexei thinks he saw a dragon, so Sorgi wants someone level headed up here] Apr 12 22:06:12 [should I ask Betuana and Xsarlac?] Apr 12 22:07:10 [it might be an idea. I'd have thought we're a touch too far out yet] Apr 12 22:08:15 [shall I make you some herbs too, you must be tired] Apr 12 22:09:03 [I'm alright love] Apr 12 22:09:13 * Morgan gets settled into the nest, looking round Apr 12 22:10:54 *after about ten minutes, he spots a small movement towards the south western horizon* Apr 12 22:11:25 [it is definitely possible for them to get this far, apparently] Apr 12 22:11:38 * Morgan watches it closely Apr 12 22:12:13 *he will need the longest distance spyglass to see more* Apr 12 22:12:36 * Morgan gets it setup Apr 12 22:13:53 *it does indeed seem to be a blue and green dragon, very much like the drachen from Graben, but in flight, soaring and dipping* Apr 12 22:14:11 [well... I see a dragon] Apr 12 22:14:58 [alright... is it threatening us?] Apr 12 22:15:28 [Its a ways off right now. It looks like a drachen... but... flying.] Apr 12 22:15:51 [alright... do we keep it secret?] Apr 12 22:16:21 [from?] Apr 12 22:16:59 Xsarlac and Betuana? Apr 12 22:17:10 [I don't see why we would...] Apr 12 22:17:29 [alright, my love] Apr 12 22:18:36 *it's very majestic and graceful, and paying no heed to the ship in the very far distance. It's cooler up here than on deck, but still much warmer than it would be at home* Apr 12 22:20:11 [Varick will love this] Apr 12 22:23:20 [Definitely. Betuana would like to know what colour it is] Apr 12 22:23:36 [blue and green] Apr 12 22:26:25 [It is called Tarako Lanumoana] Apr 12 22:26:49 [Right... I'm not sure how that helps right now] Apr 12 22:28:25 [it doesn't, it was just interesting] Apr 12 22:28:46 * Morgan smiles slightly, watching the dragon Apr 12 22:30:21 *it continues like this. At quarter before one, Heinzharold climbs up to the nest* Apr 12 22:30:24 * Sorgi is now known as HH Apr 12 22:30:26 Hey Apr 12 22:30:33 Hey man Apr 12 22:31:01 * HH hands over a cheese sandwich and a flask of coffee Apr 12 22:31:16 Ah man I fucking love you Apr 12 22:31:43 Wasn' me, was yer wife, but she's can't climb for shit Apr 12 22:32:11 * Morgan nods Apr 12 22:32:28 Yeah... when you go back down, do me a favour... tell Sorgi Alexei was right Apr 12 22:32:50 Will do. Molly said to say not to worry, she'll have lil lie down for quiet hour, and was sendin' this so you know she's thinkin' of ya Apr 12 22:33:49 Waaaaait... did I jus' get used t' pass on a rude message?! Apr 12 22:34:53 Yes, you did Apr 12 22:34:59 * HH chuckles Apr 12 22:35:10 Shame yer stuck up 'ere Apr 12 22:36:41 * Morgan nods Apr 12 22:37:06 Want me t' see if Cap'n will let us split it? Apr 12 22:39:24 No, its fine. I'm quite enjoying watching a dragon in flight Apr 12 22:43:03 Gonna gimme a look? Apr 12 22:43:25 * Morgan nods, handing him the spyglass and pointing Apr 12 22:44:20 * HH has a look Apr 12 22:44:28 Fuck me sideways! Apr 12 22:45:20 Its a bit spectacular, huh.... Thats remarkably close to what the drachen looked like, apart from the flying... Apr 12 22:45:35 Shit th' bed! It's huge! Apr 12 22:46:07 * Morgan nods Apr 12 22:46:25 Absolutely massive Apr 12 22:46:45 Pretty fuckin' cool, man! Apr 12 22:47:22 * Morgan nods Apr 12 22:48:28 Think mebbie it's time t' have their majesties tell th' crew there's dragons an' not to shit themselves? Apr 12 22:48:41 Might be... Apr 12 22:49:05 End o' day, we'll be a lot closer to it Apr 12 22:49:24 * Morgan nods Apr 12 22:49:26 aye Apr 12 22:49:46 Think maybe the cap'n needs to be the first to know Apr 12 22:51:10 Wanta meeting set up 'tween 'im, Molly, Xsarlac an' Betuana? Apr 12 22:52:42 Ask him to climb up, I'll give him a brief explanation that should do until they're all available Apr 12 22:53:15 * HH reluctantly hands the spyglass back "will do" Apr 12 22:54:27 * Morgan nods, thanking him as he starts eating his sandwich Apr 12 22:55:26 * HH is now known as Sorgi Apr 12 22:55:36 * Sorgi is up five minutes later Apr 12 22:55:48 Heinzharold says it's definitely a dragon Apr 12 22:55:54 * Morgan nods Apr 12 22:56:18 Aye cap'n. No doubt about it. *he hands him the spyglass* Apr 12 22:58:07 * Sorgi has a look Apr 12 22:58:16 Yes, it's a dragon, m'lord Apr 12 22:58:40 Capperlucia has three... they protect the place. Apr 12 22:59:10 Then this is one of theirs? Apr 12 22:59:23 Apparently so... Apr 12 23:00:58 * Sorgi nods "what do you want to do about it?" Apr 12 23:01:59 Nothing we can do realistically. I didn't actually believe they were real. I've asked HeinzHarold to arrange a chat with Betuana and Xsarlac, so they can explain to you anything that needs doing, and what they're up to. Apr 12 23:02:30 * Sorgi nods Apr 12 23:03:05 I want the crew reassured before it gets much closer Apr 12 23:03:29 * Morgan nods Apr 12 23:04:10 My understanding is it only attacks if something is a danger, and that certain pendants will stop it doing that... Xsarlac has one, as does Molly I believe Apr 12 23:05:21 * Sorgi nods Apr 12 23:05:50 Do you want to be present, or are you happier monitoring it? Apr 12 23:06:22 I'm probably best suited to keeping an eye on it. Apr 12 23:07:34 * Sorgi nods Apr 12 23:08:01 I'll get word up to you if there's anything you need to know Apr 12 23:08:44 * Morgan nods Apr 12 23:08:45 Aye cap'n Apr 12 23:10:08 * Sorgi hands the spyglass back before descending Apr 12 23:10:53 *at about ten before two, he hears Molly* [I've missed you this quiet hour...] Apr 12 23:11:18 [as I have you my love] Apr 12 23:12:56 [I was looking forward to having you alone a while... to nap, of course...] Apr 12 23:15:17 [of course. I'm sorry, but we don't want the crew freaking out about this. Could do with you meeting with Sorgi and Betuana and Xsarlac so it can all be explained to the crew Apr 12 23:16:13 [I'll do that as soon as Inga comes back] Apr 12 23:16:45 [thank you love. I'd lik to have the crew at ease when we get closer to it] Apr 12 23:16:57 [is it beautiful?] Apr 12 23:17:48 * Morgan sends her an image of it Apr 12 23:18:10 [oh, it definitely is!] Apr 12 23:18:31 [its very impressive] Apr 12 23:19:12 [I look forward to seeing it. I suppose I should get myself decent and presentable, hmm?] Apr 12 23:19:28 [yes love, that'd be a good idea] Apr 12 23:20:01 [will you still be on middle tonight?] Apr 12 23:20:15 [I believe so] Apr 12 23:21:02 [hopefully you can squeeze me in somewhere this evening] *she sounds playful rather than complaining* Apr 12 23:22:24 [Hopefully so] Apr 12 23:22:51 [otherwise my poor fingers will be very tired...] Apr 12 23:23:07 [we definitely don't want that] Apr 12 23:23:38 [no... far better that both our fingers share the load] Apr 12 23:24:36 [quite so] Apr 12 23:27:07 [are you holding on tightly up there? Nothing to drop?] Apr 12 23:27:36 [I am secure] Apr 12 23:27:54 *she sends him the image of her licking his release from her fingers* Apr 12 23:29:18 [Yes, I quite like that] Apr 12 23:30:27 [I must behave myself before my naughty imagination gets me in trouble, hmm?] Apr 12 23:30:39 [probably a good idea] Apr 12 23:31:57 [i'll leave you to ponder where my fingers would have been just before I licked them, my love] Apr 12 23:32:45 [alright blossom. I'll see you soon. Could you leave notes to explain I've been called to work to Edward and the others?] Apr 12 23:33:06 [yes, my love] Apr 12 23:34:55 *the dragon doesn't get closer to him, but by the time they get to the end of his watch, they are nearer to it* Apr 12 23:41:13 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Apr 12 23:53:05 * Sorgi has quit (Ping Timeout)
