She sets down two pieces before reading a third Apr 16 17:44:48 There is a dock. They will be ready and waiting for us from first light tomorrow Apr 16 17:45:05 That'll save us a lot of time unloading Apr 16 17:45:24 Indeed *she hands him the two pieces* Apr 16 17:45:46 * Morgan takes them, looking at them Apr 16 17:46:15 *one appears to be a drawing including proportions of the dock and the berth, the other a chart of the shallows on approach* Apr 16 17:46:35 Perfect... Apr 16 17:46:40 * Morgan looks at her assessingly Apr 16 17:47:17 * Betuana is reading still, yet says "I can feel your heavy eyes" Apr 16 17:47:45 Useful. I am trying to gauge your mood... Apr 16 17:48:00 Why not ask? *she looks to him* Apr 16 17:48:22 * Morgan shrugs Apr 16 17:48:43 I'm used to people who will politely tell me what they think I want to hear Apr 16 17:49:00 You will find Capperlucia refreshing then Apr 16 17:49:46 Perhaps. Are you alright? I know coming home after a time away, particularly when no-one knows where you are can be... trying. Apr 16 17:50:42 I am relieved to be almost home. Your ship is comfortable, but I am glad to be back in Capperlucia Apr 16 17:51:07 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:51:20 Your children are glad to know of your return Apr 16 17:51:31 * Betuana smiles Apr 16 17:52:34 They are. Their comments are brief, as there was much of my instruction to convey and expediency needed for the reply, but they look forward to seeing me in the morning Apr 16 17:53:12 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:53:23 I don't suppose you and I will see much of eachother once we land Apr 16 17:55:03 You will have your children to attend to. I have sent word that your house is to be prepared and made comfortable with linens and food, you will have two house staff to assist you, and you will have men to show you and your children around Apr 16 17:55:24 * Morgan nods Apr 16 17:55:44 Its been... difficult and an honour to bring you home Apr 16 17:55:55 * Betuana smiles Apr 16 17:56:19 I will always maintain a gratitude and affection for you and your family for that Apr 16 17:56:51 * Morgan smiles Apr 16 17:57:00 Is there anything you need, since I'm going to find the Captain Apr 16 17:57:59 No, thank you. Everything is in hand. If you would convey the news to Molly, I would be grateful, she should know that the people are awaiting the ambassador Apr 16 17:58:39 They are not apprehensive? Apr 16 17:59:30 Why would they be? I am their queen, and I vouch for her Apr 16 18:00:12 * Morgan smiles slightly Apr 16 18:00:27 The difference in our cultures is still difficult for me to overcome in some respects I suppose Apr 16 18:00:37 * Betuana nods Apr 16 18:00:55 Your rulers see your people as their subjects, not their kin? Apr 16 18:01:09 * Morgan nods Apr 16 18:01:51 Most of them... they don't understand the concept that... we are their caretakers, responsible for their wellbeing... Apr 16 18:02:02 * Betuana nods Apr 16 18:02:44 The people are my family, it is my responsibility to love and protect them. They are not my livestock Apr 16 18:03:02 * Morgan nods Apr 16 18:03:31 I have known local rulers who have referred to their people as cattle... Apr 16 18:03:48 They do not deserve the honour Apr 16 18:04:42 No. I'd best get these to the captain. Apr 16 18:04:53 * Betuana nods Apr 16 18:05:00 Thank you, Morgan Apr 16 18:05:47 * Morgan inclines his head before leaving the room, closing the door behind him before going in search of Sorgi Apr 16 18:06:02 * Betuana is now known as Sorgi Apr 16 18:06:14 [I've been asked to tell you... the people are awaiting the ambassador] Apr 16 18:06:19 * Sorgi is found in his study Apr 16 18:06:32 [that's not at all nerve-wracking!] Apr 16 18:06:38 * Morgan knocks on the door Apr 16 18:06:49 Come in Apr 16 18:06:59 [She's vouched for you. Your house will be prepared and comfortable when we arrive Apr 16 18:07:07 * Morgan goes in, closing the door behind him Apr 16 18:07:14 Captain... I have something for you Apr 16 18:07:17 [ours, my love] Apr 16 18:07:25 * Sorgi smiles Apr 16 18:07:33 Charts? Apr 16 18:08:05 * Morgan nods Apr 16 18:08:31 And proportions of the dock and the berth Apr 16 18:09:32 * Sorgi nods Apr 16 18:09:55 Take a seat, m'lord, let's look them over Apr 16 18:10:02 * Morgan nods, sitting down Apr 16 18:13:30 * Sorgi sits too, looking them over. The dock will be just big enough for her, and just deep enough too. They clearly didn't anticipate such a big girl coming to visit. The shallows look fairly easy to navigate Apr 16 18:14:01 The question is... seeing how the shallows are now, do we want to weigh anchor closer tonight Apr 16 18:15:12 * Sorgi mulls it over Apr 16 18:15:21 What is your opinion? Apr 16 18:15:49 * Morgan looks at the charts Apr 16 18:18:20 I'd say lets stop a little closer... couple of hours maybe... up here *he points at the chart* the shallows look easy enough, and not -as- shallow as we worried about... Apr 16 18:18:40 * Sorgi nods Apr 16 18:18:55 I agree Apr 16 18:19:56 Makes our arrival earlier tomorrow, without too much risk Apr 16 18:21:37 * Sorgi nods, and they hatch up a plan that sees them stopping at such a time that means if she travels without sail they will be just outside the shallows when she stops, and if she doesn't they will only add a couple of hours to their arrival. Either way, they will arrive mid morning at the very latest Apr 16 18:22:28 * Morgan agrees to it, leaving Sorgi to relay it to the crew before going into his study Apr 16 18:24:00 * Sorgi is now known as Molly Apr 16 18:25:03 *Varick, Ulysses and Amir are sat around the drachenflame lantern. Molly has the bedroom door open so she can still here them* Apr 16 18:25:57 * Morgan concentrates, trying to make it move Apr 16 18:27:15 *it does so. Amir shouts "Bah!" Apr 16 18:30:22 * Morgan stops, smiling Apr 16 18:31:00 V: I think it looks different to him Apr 16 18:31:07 Oh? Apr 16 18:31:22 V: He looks at it like it's moving Apr 16 18:32:30 Huh... maybe then Apr 16 18:33:13 * Molly comes back through with the milk Apr 16 18:33:26 What happened with Betuana, my love? Apr 16 18:36:02 I suspect... that'll be the last time I spend with her... she got a reply, with the charts and whatnot we asked for. They are expecting us tomorrow from first light onwards. We'll have a couple of staff to assist us, and I'll have men to show the children and I around Apr 16 18:37:27 * Molly takes a deep breath Apr 16 18:37:49 Alright then. Do you wish to feed him now, or wait until he asks? Apr 16 18:38:22 If we wait until he asks then isn't allowed the breast he might get quite upset... Apr 16 18:39:14 * Molly nods, not even making a joke about Heinzharold, instead picking up and hugging the baby before bringing him to Morgan Apr 16 18:39:31 [tell me what's wrong] Apr 16 18:41:37 [it's suddenly very real, that's all] Apr 16 18:41:54 [You've already done the hardest part] Apr 16 18:42:04 [have I?] Apr 16 18:42:10 * Morgan takes the boy, offering him the milk Apr 16 18:42:31 *Amir looks consent to settle down with it* Apr 16 18:42:50 [You have already put in the foundations to establish trade. It is not a matter of convincing them to, now its a matter of deciding -what- and for -how much-] Apr 16 18:43:54 [you're right, of course. I am taking for granted my success and focusing only on where I might not be charming or social enough. The places where I might still not live up to your idea of me] Apr 16 18:44:14 [That is not something you need to worry about] Apr 16 18:45:05 * Molly smiles faintly as she comes to sit beside Varick [I am sorry your good opinion is so vital to me, mon petit chou!] Apr 16 18:45:35 [as it should be for a married couple... but there is no danger of not living up to anything for me] Apr 16 18:45:55 [I am glad of that, my love] Apr 16 18:46:04 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 16 18:47:10 * Molly gets Varick on her lap "Now Mauschen, tell me more about what you want to do in Capperlucia..." Apr 16 18:47:32 V: I -really- want to see the dragons up close! Apr 16 18:47:41 * Morgan smiles Apr 16 18:47:44 Saw that coming Apr 16 18:47:58 *Amir watches Morgan, briefly smiling* Apr 16 18:48:19 Hmm... I'm not sure I can manage that, but I will do my best... Apr 16 18:50:04 V: it's okay, Mama, you're going to be reallly busy Apr 16 18:50:38 * Molly rests her cheek on his crown "I rather am. But I am going to miss all three of my boys most sorely" Apr 16 18:51:11 Its only for a little while Apr 16 18:52:03 V: Will you do my bedtimes? Apr 16 18:53:25 I promise I will try to be home at a reasonable time, and that if I am detained by evening events I will try to have you come along, or come home to you briefly for it Apr 16 18:53:53 V: *he hugs her* Okay, Mama Apr 16 18:54:48 *Amir babbles Mmmmm-mmmm* Apr 16 18:54:58 * Morgan smiles down at the child Apr 16 18:55:04 You're supposed to be feeding... Apr 16 18:55:54 *Amir goes back to doing that. It's almost the children's bedtime when Heinzharold and Inga turn up* Apr 16 18:56:49 *Inga comes over the where Morgan is wandering around with Amir on his shoulder and hugs him without saying anything* Apr 16 18:57:32 * Morgan puts an arm round her, looking at HeinzHarold questioningly Apr 16 18:59:16 *HH just grins* Apr 16 18:59:29 Whats this for? Apr 16 18:59:49 I: just hugging family Apr 16 19:00:19 * Morgan nods, kissing her crown Apr 16 19:00:21 ah Apr 16 19:00:25 *Varick is playing quietly with his soldiers on the desk* Apr 16 19:00:51 *Inga goes to hug Molly next* Apr 16 19:01:18 HH: Two minutes I've been 'ere, noone's offered me coffee... Apr 16 19:01:39 V: *he looks up* do you want so coffee, Heinzharold? Apr 16 19:02:10 *HH nods "please". Varick starts laughing "I don't have any!" Apr 16 19:02:29 *HH looks at Morgan* gettin' more like you by th' day! Apr 16 19:03:10 * Morgan nods, smiling slightly Apr 16 19:03:34 He's just developing his own style... now that he feels safe enough to do it Apr 16 19:05:27 *HH ruffles Varick's hair* You got me good, kid Apr 16 19:05:56 *Varick nods* Apr 16 19:06:10 [it seems Inga knows...] Apr 16 19:06:23 [He was planning to tell her, yes] Apr 16 19:07:17 $Inga knows, yeah?$ Apr 16 19:09:01 $yep, she's delighted$ Apr 16 19:09:22 [Yes. She's delighted apparently] Apr 16 19:09:43 [are you telling Varick?] Apr 16 19:10:00 [I think we should, but getting him to sleep is going to be difficult] Apr 16 19:11:46 [but tomorrow will be a bit busy for it?] Apr 16 19:11:57 [Aye] Apr 16 19:12:17 [I'll leave it to your discretion, my love] Apr 16 20:01:18 * Morgan goes and sits at the desk, rocking Amir Apr 16 20:01:21 Varick... Apr 16 20:01:33 * Molly is now known as Vati Apr 16 20:01:45 * Vati is now known as Varick Apr 16 20:01:50 Yes Vati? Apr 16 20:02:03 There's a couple of things I want to tell you Apr 16 20:02:19 What? Apr 16 20:02:45 First... we're going to start calling Amir something a little different... Apr 16 20:02:56 Why? Apr 16 20:03:20 We want him to feel like he fits in at home, don't we? So we're going to change his name just a little bit to make that easier for him Apr 16 20:03:48 What are we going to call him? Apr 16 20:04:01 Emil... Apr 16 20:04:22 You said Amir still Apr 16 20:04:31 * Morgan says it again, slower Apr 16 20:05:00 Ohhhh... Apr 16 20:05:40 It still sounds like Amir Apr 16 20:05:59 [where do our lines meet the Niedersachsens? Its just occurred to me that we are probably related to Holzheim as well] Apr 16 20:06:03 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:06:21 Its close enough to be easy for him but Eisen enough that it'll fit in without trying... Apr 16 20:07:16 [Vaugn's Mother. We're related to the nidersachsens, not Heinzharold or Dietlinde. Oh and Mina has niedersachsen ancestry too] Apr 16 20:07:31 Ah meeeee uh Apr 16 20:08:01 Eh-meel Apr 16 20:08:19 I just hear ah mee uh Apr 16 20:08:37 [Graben was ruled by Niedersachsens until it became the Hapsburgs I think] Apr 16 20:08:45 * Morgan tilts his head Apr 16 20:08:52 Really? Apr 16 20:08:56 [three hundred years ago] Apr 16 20:09:06 Ahhhhhhh meeeeeeeeeee uhhhhh Apr 16 20:09:45 * Morgan takes a scrap of paper out, writing the name and its phonetic down before giving it to Varick Apr 16 20:10:00 * Varick looks at it Apr 16 20:10:07 How do you say it? Apr 16 20:10:10 [Yes, I recall. About the time the HeinzHarolds started] Apr 16 20:10:14 * Morgan says it again, slowly Apr 16 20:10:28 Ahhh meee uh Apr 16 20:10:44 [what do you make of this?] Apr 16 20:11:10 [about what?] Apr 16 20:11:16 It ends with a l sound... Apr 16 20:11:23 A: mmmm eeee Apr 16 20:11:35 [Varick doesn't seem to be able to get what I'm telling him about Amir's name] Apr 16 20:11:43 Oh! ah meee uh llll Apr 16 20:12:10 Eh mee uh lll Apr 16 20:12:24 * Varick smiles Apr 16 20:12:36 I get it! ah meeee uh lll Apr 16 20:12:50 *molly watches them* Apr 16 20:12:57 A: mmmmmmeeeee!

Eh... meee... uh... lll Apr 16 20:15:08 [maybe we should just call him Frank] Apr 16 20:15:13 * Varick nods "llll eh meee uh... lll" Apr 16 20:15:17 *he notices HH's shoulders shaking* Apr 16 20:15:40 *molly smiles* Apr 16 20:15:54 [help me out here please] Apr 16 20:16:20 It's okay, I get it. His new name is Lemil Apr 16 20:16:31 *HH creases up* Apr 16 20:17:15 No... not Lemil... Emil... Apr 16 20:17:27 * Varick starts laughing Apr 16 20:17:45 I know! I wanted to see how many times you'd say it! Apr 16 20:18:23 *this makes the others laugh* Apr 16 20:18:52 Oh you little terror! You got me Apr 16 20:19:12 * Varick hugs him Apr 16 20:19:20 That was a good one! Apr 16 20:19:34 * Morgan nods, kissing his crown Apr 16 20:20:04 HH: I'm impressed, been a while since I got 'im that good Apr 16 20:20:46 Thats because I expect it of you Apr 16 20:21:10 $not since Graben when you thought I fancied Stefan Heidi$ Apr 16 20:21:40 $That was different. That was subterfuge, not... pranking$ Apr 16 20:22:13 Emil is a good name Apr 16 20:22:24 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:22:36 He'll have a middle name, Zareen... I think thats right, don't you? Apr 16 20:22:49 * Varick nods Apr 16 20:22:53 That's good Apr 16 20:23:05 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:23:37 Now... the second thing... Apr 16 20:23:48 Okay Apr 16 20:25:00 There's been something we've had to look into... you remember how you and I are related through our families, a long way back? Apr 16 20:25:21 * Varick nods Apr 16 20:25:46 A man called Vaugn is your sort of grandpa and my sort of uncle Apr 16 20:26:04 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:27:58 Now, Vaugn, his children were with a woman called Sonnenshein, his... special friend... before they were together, she was married... Apr 16 20:28:20 What happened to her husband? Apr 16 20:29:10 *the tree shows he didn't die until five years after his wife had had twins with the other man* Apr 16 20:30:32 I'm not sure yet... but... her husband and her had three children, two girls and a boy... one of those girls, her children and grandchildren and so on... that line comes down to Dietlinde and Jana... Apr 16 20:31:41 * Varick nods Apr 16 20:31:52 That's interesting Apr 16 20:33:10 So, you're related to them by blood as well... and... well, the son... he was named after his father... something thats happened all the way until today... Apr 16 20:35:32 * Varick looks puzzled Apr 16 20:35:34 Okay? Apr 16 20:38:42 Who else do we know where that has happened? Apr 16 20:40:19 Ummm, Heinzharold? Apr 16 20:40:37 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:41:51 You're related to Heinzharold -and- Dietlinde -And- Jana -and- Mama -And- the bum man? Apr 16 20:42:55 * Morgan nods, glancing at HeinzHarold Apr 16 20:43:02 yes Apr 16 20:44:17 *HH looks relaxed* Apr 16 20:44:32 That's really good! Apr 16 20:45:17 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:45:29 You're my son... so you're related to him too... to all of them Apr 16 20:46:48 * Varick smiles Apr 16 20:46:57 And Emil is too Apr 16 20:47:07 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:47:11 *Molly watches, smiling* Apr 16 20:47:12 Yes, thats right Apr 16 20:47:31 [and, as HeinzHarold pointed out... it means I'm now a blood relative of Da] Apr 16 20:47:55 [that must make you intensely happy, my love] Apr 16 20:48:23 [it does. So very much] Apr 16 20:48:23 * Varick goes to hug Heinzharold Apr 16 20:48:32 Now you're double family Apr 16 20:48:48 *HH hugs him back* Yep Apr 16 20:51:32 *The baby looks to Morgan with a yawn* Mmmm eeee Apr 16 20:51:54 * Morgan smiles, kissing the boys forehead Apr 16 20:51:58 Time for bed, huh? Apr 16 20:52:35 *He yawns again* Apr 16 20:52:43 Oh okay, Vati Apr 16 20:53:09 I was talking to this little one... Apr 16 20:53:33 M: It is getting late for the children, and it is a big day tomorrow Apr 16 20:53:45 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:53:48 Yes, it is Apr 16 20:56:13 * Varick gives goodnight hugs to all the grownups before waiting for Morgan to get Emil changed and ready for bed too* Apr 16 20:56:31 * Morgan does so, laying him gently in Varicks bed Apr 16 20:58:31 * Varick looks at him as the baby falls asleep "he's very cute" Apr 16 20:58:39 * Morgan nods Apr 16 20:58:41 Both my sons are Apr 16 20:58:47 * Varick smiles Apr 16 20:58:55 Will all our babies be cute? Apr 16 20:59:28 Babies usually are Apr 16 21:01:45 * Varick nods Apr 16 21:01:54 Okay Vati. Goodnight Apr 16 21:02:38 Goodnight Varick. I love you Apr 16 21:03:15 I love you Apr 16 21:05:28 * Morgan waits for the boys to go to sleep before carrying Amir into his crib Apr 16 21:07:01 *he doesn't wake. The chat in the other room is relaxed, even though tomorrow will see the couples spend much more time apart than they have been on the almost four week sail it's taken to get there Apr 16 21:08:52 * Morgan lounges on the couch, drinking coffee Apr 16 21:09:09 * Varick is now known as Molly Apr 16 21:09:23 * Molly checks the windows are open fully Apr 16 21:09:42 It's so warm, even though it's evening! Apr 16 21:10:15 * Morgan nods, grumbling Apr 16 21:10:42 I: I think Betuana has the right idea just wearing her shift and a belt Apr 16 21:11:09 * Molly nods "Even that is going to be very warm on the island, isn't it?" Apr 16 21:12:08 * Morgan pulls a face Apr 16 21:13:53 * Molly pulls out her sewing box Apr 16 21:14:20 HH: sure you'll both be grand in yer new clothes Apr 16 21:16:01 And I'm... no, I'm not saying that Apr 16 21:16:59 * Molly giggles Apr 16 21:17:03 And out of them? Apr 16 21:18:03 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 16 21:18:07 Nuh uh, not saying Apr 16 21:18:45 * Molly smiles Apr 16 21:19:15 Are you sure you're needed on deck tonight? Apr 16 21:19:38 Best had, just in case... Apr 16 21:19:42 HH chuckles: sounds like someone needs y' down below! Apr 16 21:20:01 * Molly blushes, smiling Apr 16 21:21:23 Does sound like that doesn't it Apr 16 21:22:27 * Molly shrugs "I just miss you in the bed, that's all" Apr 16 21:23:48 * Morgan nods Apr 16 21:23:58 Once we're sure I'm right and that she won't move, I'll come to bed Apr 16 21:24:54 HH: Once he's checked that th' one lady don't need 'I'm, he'll attend th' other Apr 16 21:25:48 * Morgan makes a clicking noise, pointing at HeinzHarold Apr 16 21:25:54 'xactly Apr 16 21:26:24 * Molly smiles Apr 16 21:26:53 There are many men who could easily attend on her, and only one who is permitted to attend on me... Apr 16 21:27:58 [are we going to fall out about this?] Apr 16 21:28:02 * Morgan sips his coffee Apr 16 21:28:24 [not at all, I was merely flirting with you] Apr 16 21:28:53 I: will we be staying in the house or on the ship? Apr 16 21:29:09 Best ask the ambassador on that one Apr 16 21:29:49 I was thinking we'd stay at the house, but if you two do not wish to, that is fine Apr 16 21:30:20 I: I want to see the waterfall and the pool anyway Apr 16 21:34:28 HH: I don' care, so long as there's food other'an fish! Apr 16 21:35:13 * Morgan nods Apr 16 21:35:19 Bacon... sausage... eggs... Apr 16 21:36:37 HH: Ahhh man, sexiest thing I've ever heard ya say Apr 16 21:36:58 [I've heard much sexier...] Apr 16 21:37:12 [oh?] Apr 16 21:37:44 [indeed. Generally curse words...] Apr 16 21:39:12 [you mean in certain situations] Apr 16 21:41:55 [yes. Though you saying "soon..." beside the stream ranks very highly, without being a curse] Apr 16 21:45:15 * Morgan blushes, sipping his coffee Apr 16 21:45:32 We're, uhhh... going to have some staff in the house Apr 16 21:46:51 * Molly smiles, sipping her own Apr 16 21:47:13 I: do you think they will be men or women? Apr 16 21:47:49 Men I reckon Apr 16 21:47:57 [or the the other day when you entered me and said "that's what I needed". That was very very hot] Apr 16 21:48:14 I: That will be unusual Apr 16 21:49:30 I could be wrong, but given he structure of their society Apr 16 21:50:33 [most things you say to me when we are intimate are very arousing, actually...] Apr 16 21:52:15 [I'm glad you enjoy them] Apr 16 21:53:22 I: it'd be useful to have someone to cook and clean for you while we work Apr 16 21:53:44 [I enjoy them time and again in my memory and alone in our bed] Apr 16 21:53:58 * Molly sips her coffee, smiling faintly Apr 16 21:53:58 [I know you're trying to make me blush...] Apr 16 21:54:04 * Morgan nods Apr 16 21:54:13 Gives us time to explore Apr 16 21:54:45 [it is true though. Though by the time I peak, I am generally thinking of watching you rather than listening...] Apr 16 21:55:13 I've been looking forward to exploring there since it was first decided that we would go Apr 16 21:55:14 [oh?] Apr 16 21:55:45 [hmmm... you are very unflappable this evening....] Apr 16 21:56:26 HH: Gon' be nice to just do not much Apr 16 21:56:59 [practice, my love] Apr 16 21:57:40 Speak for yourself. I'm going to explore, and climb, and swim and... find somewhere quiet to practice with my magic Apr 16 21:58:54 *she sends him the image of her sat in front of him in a big bathtub, his hands on her wet increasing belly whilst kissing her neck* Apr 16 21:59:05 I: it should be safe there for it? Apr 16 21:59:54 * Morgan blushes Apr 16 22:00:13 it... what? Yes, it should, if I can get far enough away from anywhere the crew might be Apr 16 22:01:20 * Molly smiles, nodding slightly to herself Apr 16 22:01:54 HH: find ourselves a rowboat, we can go lookin' Apr 16 22:02:13 Rowboat? Apr 16 22:02:48 HH: row round the coast Apr 16 22:03:03 Why? Apr 16 22:03:15 HH: privacy Apr 16 22:03:57 [once we have privacy I'll show you more of my dream?] Apr 16 22:04:57 * Morgan nods Apr 16 22:04:58 Gotcha Apr 16 22:05:06 [yes, love] Apr 16 22:06:25 HH: I'm gon' look so good with a tan Apr 16 22:07:21 That'll make a change then... Apr 16 22:08:54 HH: such is the burden I gotta bear Apr 16 22:09:29 I feel so sorry for you Apr 16 22:10:48 HH: *he nods* yeah, was difficult, all the pretty ladies makin' eyes at me all th' time Apr 16 22:11:16 And yet you still ended up kissing a man Apr 16 22:11:31 HH: only th' one Apr 16 22:11:48 You remember all the girls you've kissed? Every single one? Apr 16 22:12:15 HH: not by name, but pretty much, yeah Apr 16 22:12:37 Bet you remember -his- name though... Apr 16 22:12:56 HH: Don' think I ever knew it Apr 16 22:14:15 Pity, that rather spoils me making fun of you Apr 16 22:14:54 HH: Yep, guess it does. Apr 16 22:15:10 I: It's -a lot- of girls! Apr 16 22:16:04 *HH nods* Yeah. Didn' have much else t' do in camps Apr 16 22:16:18 I: Or in brothels... or in Sudlachenburg... Apr 16 22:17:34 * Morgan smirks slightly, watching HeinzHarold Apr 16 22:18:03 HH shrugs: Not many in Sudlachenburg, t' be fair Apr 16 22:18:56 I: Didn't you feel left out when he was kissing girls when you were in the War? Apr 16 22:19:56 * Morgan shrugs, sighing Apr 16 22:20:50 A little... but... it was like having friends in the navy, just... not something I was any good at... I'm not like most men in that regard I suppose Apr 16 22:21:13 * Molly comes to sit beside him, taking his hand Apr 16 22:21:32 It was their loss, he is an -Excellent- kisser Apr 16 22:23:15 You don't really have much to make that comparison to though Apr 16 22:24:44 HH grins: Suppose I -could- help, f' science... Apr 16 22:25:14 *Inga laughs, slapping his arm* Apr 16 22:26:37 * Morgan snorts, sipping his coffee Apr 16 22:27:48 * Molly blushes "That's very kind of you, Heinzharold, but no, I know without needing any additional experience. You couldn't improve on perfection." Apr 16 22:28:23 HH chuckles: He prob'ly picked up some skills watchin' me! Apr 16 22:29:00 Think we all know I'm... -was- prudish enough to not do that Apr 16 22:30:33 HH: Now he watches me kiss an' grope my wife avidly! Apr 16 22:30:45 * Morgan rolls his eyes Apr 16 22:32:27 Last time he was rather busy doing that with his own to be watching you! Apr 16 22:33:26 HH: Hard life for Molly too! Apr 16 22:35:04 * Morgan mutters 'wasn't life that was hard' Apr 16 22:35:40 * Molly giggles at this Apr 16 22:36:06 *Inga looks puzzled* I didn't hear what you said Apr 16 22:36:54 * Morgan glances at Molly Apr 16 22:37:05 I said... it wasn't life that was hard for her Apr 16 22:38:03 I: Is that a cock joke? Apr 16 22:38:22 * Molly giggles, pressing her flushed face to his upper arm Apr 16 22:38:46 * Morgan blushes, nodding Apr 16 22:39:08 [I love when that part of you is hard for me...] Apr 16 22:40:31 [thats useful] Apr 16 22:40:34 HH: He's come a long way has Saint Morgan! Apr 16 22:40:43 [hard and useful, yes] Apr 16 22:41:33 excommunicated... Apr 16 22:42:29 HH: Didn' say all his Hail Marys, see... *Inga blushes* Apr 16 22:43:05 * Morgan chuckles quietly Apr 16 22:45:35 HH: Reck'n the crew gon' manage to stay out of trouble? Apr 16 22:46:14 Depends how well you and Claudia put the frighteners on them Apr 16 22:47:45 HH: I didn' do a lot o' frightening, me Apr 16 22:48:20 Ah, well, if it was Claudia, they'll be well behaved Apr 16 22:49:53 *HH nods* I just 'append to remind 'em 'bout your reputation an' how much you love yer wife. Happy, fun stories, ya know? Apr 16 22:52:07 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 16 22:52:21 Should do the job... except... they've all been around me quite a while now... Apr 16 22:53:46 HH: Yeah, But now yer wife's nursin' a babe, an' that makes you even more protective of her happiness. Yer son depends on her welfare, don't it? Apr 16 22:54:00 * Morgan nods Apr 16 22:54:06 Yes, he does Apr 16 22:54:54 HH: They mighta been familiar with you, but now yer the Papa Bear, see? Fiercer, more likely t' bite Apr 16 22:55:22 You think thats how they see me? Apr 16 22:56:25 *He shrugs* some of 'em, yeah Apr 16 22:56:41 Only some? Apr 16 22:58:39 *he nods* Some o' 'em heard rumours you really lost yer shit. Others remember y' from the War; smart man, kinda shy Apr 16 22:59:33 Neither of them are particularly wrong I suppose Apr 16 23:00:54 HH: Yer respected Apr 16 23:01:02 * Morgan nods Apr 16 23:01:13 good Apr 16 23:04:22 *their dinner arrives before long, the MaluMalu, or ocean sunfish, quite nice, as far as yet another night of fish could be. The other couple stay for a brief drink, but by half after eight they've said goodnight and Molly has tidied the room before giving him so Drambuie as she sits beside him with a sigh* Apr 16 23:04:28 Are you well, my love? Apr 16 23:07:24 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Apr 16 23:07:51 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
