**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Apr 18 00:01:04 2023 Apr 18 00:01:04 * Claudia nods "amazing how loud their silent looking can be" Apr 18 00:01:21 Thats a very interesting way to put it Apr 18 00:02:29 * Claudia nods, taking him to Molly and her group. Molly holds out her hand to him Apr 18 00:02:40 * Morgan takes it Apr 18 00:03:24 B: *she smiles, looking at Claudia* This suits you. Are you finding it cooler? Apr 18 00:03:49 * Claudia nods briefly "Yes, your majesty" Apr 18 00:04:13 *Molly holds his hand firmly* Apr 18 00:05:33 *Betuana smiles, looking at Molly* I will leave you to your day, and send word for our arrangements for tomorrow. Do not hesitate to ask anyone for whatever your family needs. Apr 18 00:06:28 *Molly smiles* Thank you, you have been most generous, and I hope you have a pleasant afternoon and evening with your children Apr 18 00:08:08 *Betuana and Xsarlac go, and about half the the crowd follows them. The other still seem to want to see and speak to Molly, so soon he has ended up separated from her. HH brings Emil to Morgan, looking Claudia over* Apr 18 00:08:31 HH: How did they put Claudia's head on a girl's body?! Apr 18 00:08:58 You know you're not allowed to hit her, right? Apr 18 00:09:08 * Morgan takes Emil, cuddling him Apr 18 00:09:27 *he starts babbling* Apr 18 00:09:32 HH: why not? Apr 18 00:09:47 Its illegal for a man to strike a woman here, for any reason Apr 18 00:10:07 HH: Sucks to be your wife! Apr 18 00:10:18 * Claudia looks a bit confused Apr 18 00:10:41 My -point- HeinzHarold, is that I'm fairly sure she can still beat the crap out of you Apr 18 00:10:59 I hit you and no one batted an eyelid Apr 18 00:11:22 They were distracted by the crazy paving pattern that runs across my chest Apr 18 00:11:50 *HH nods* proud of ya, kid Apr 18 00:12:11 Thats going around apparently Apr 18 00:12:53 *HH chuckles, flexing his muscles* Nice t' get the boys a bit o' fresh air Apr 18 00:13:44 *Emil chuckles at HH* Apr 18 00:14:31 * Morgan looks round for Varick Apr 18 00:15:01 *Varick is making his way towards them, the children he was playing with gone* Apr 18 00:16:48 *Emil rests his cheek against Morgan's bare shoulder, clearly not bothered by the twists and knots in his skin* Apr 18 00:17:19 V: Vati, you have no shirt on! Apr 18 00:18:01 No... I don't... Apr 18 00:18:13 V: That's really good Apr 18 00:18:25 I'm glad you think so Apr 18 00:18:31 * Claudia is now known as Varick Apr 18 00:18:41 We're the same now Apr 18 00:19:28 * Morgan smiles, nodding Apr 18 00:19:35 You were having fun with the prince? Apr 18 00:19:42 * Varick nods Apr 18 00:19:49 He is nice Apr 18 00:20:18 Heinzharold, you owe me five guilders now Apr 18 00:21:07 Why? Apr 18 00:21:11 Heinzharold said you wouldn't take your shirt off the first day, and I said you would because you're really brave, and we had a bet Apr 18 00:22:15 Did he now... Apr 18 00:22:20 *HH hands the money over* a bet's a bet Apr 18 00:23:43 * Morgan flexes his shoulders briefly, looking at Claudia Apr 18 00:24:23 I'm going to be doing things in the grounds of our house that the crew would not like... I'd rather they stay away... Apr 18 00:24:43 C: where is the house? Apr 18 00:25:28 Couple of miles that way... we can walk or row, apparently Apr 18 00:25:44 We can row to our house?! Apr 18 00:26:22 HH: That sounds pretty cool, probably easier to walk with the kids though? Apr 18 00:26:58 * Morgan nods Apr 18 00:27:07 After weeks at sea, I want to walk Apr 18 00:28:54 HH: I 'ear we got clothes on board an' lunch coming? Apr 18 00:28:59 * Morgan nods Apr 18 00:29:04 Yeah, so I'm told Apr 18 00:29:17 HH: ready for yer skirt, man? Apr 18 00:30:02 No I don't think so Apr 18 00:30:18 Do I have a skirt? Apr 18 00:30:55 There might be one for you Apr 18 00:32:01 I wore dresses until I stopped wearing nappy cloths *this is normal for children of both sexes, until around three* Apr 18 00:32:47 * Morgan nods Apr 18 00:32:49 Yes, I know Apr 18 00:33:03 Did you wear dresses? Apr 18 00:36:15 Think we all did... its common for children to wear them Apr 18 00:36:21 $still does, when his wife is away$ Apr 18 00:36:29 C:* Apr 18 00:37:13 *HH smirks* Apr 18 00:37:58 $shut up$ Apr 18 00:38:53 * Varick watches Molly Apr 18 00:39:01 Mama is really busy Apr 18 00:39:16 A: Mmmm-mmmm Apr 18 00:39:20 * Morgan nods, sighing Apr 18 00:39:47 mmmaaaaammmmaaaaaa Apr 18 00:39:58 Will she come in for lunch? Apr 18 00:40:11 I -think- so... Apr 18 00:40:34 A: *he gets louder and says* MMMMMM-MMM Apr 18 00:40:54 * Morgan smiles, nodding Apr 18 00:40:57 Mmmaaammmmaaaa Apr 18 00:41:03 Everyone wants to talk to her and hug her, even the men Apr 18 00:41:40 E: Ma-mmmmmmmmm Apr 18 00:41:54 * Morgan nods, looking over briefly Apr 18 00:42:00 Thats it Emil, mmaaammmmaaaa Apr 18 00:42:30 C: you changed his name? Apr 18 00:42:36 * Morgan nods Apr 18 00:42:52 Close enough to be easy for him, Eisen enough to fit in Apr 18 00:43:26 * Varick glances at HH "It's L-me-uh-l" Apr 18 00:43:53 *Hh starts chuckling, mussing Varick's hair* Apr 18 00:44:20 E: Meeeee Apr 18 00:44:44 * Morgan smiles, bouncing the boy Apr 18 00:45:25 *Molly is getting hugs from everyone, including the men, but it's just like it would be with her brothers* Apr 18 00:46:57 *Molly is still outside with Inga and the last few Capperlucians when Emil makes it necessary for him to have a change of nappy cloth and the others go in* Apr 18 00:54:03 * Varick has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 18 01:05:29 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Apr 18 02:38:33 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Apr 18 02:49:48 * MollyK has quit (Ping Timeout) Apr 18 08:24:51 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Apr 18 08:59:01 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Apr 18 12:41:48 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Apr 18 13:01:50 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Apr 18 13:02:27 * MollyK is now known as HH Apr 18 13:03:24 * HH leads into the study. It's empty. Varick is keen to pull everything out on the couches Apr 18 13:04:03 No, lad, lets not do that right now... its not fair to mama is it? Apr 18 13:09:42 *Varick sighs* Can I help change him? Apr 18 13:10:06 * Morgan nods, looking surprised Apr 18 13:10:44 * HH goes to look out the window Apr 18 13:11:20 *Varick gets the things ready on the floor, knowing where it all goes Apr 18 13:12:35 * Morgan gets down, showing him what needs to be done at each step Apr 18 13:14:55 *Varick doesn't complain about the smell, which is actually better than when he'd had the goats milk, or that Emil tries to escape, and knows to cover him up. He looks proud of himself once the clean nappy cloth is on* Apr 18 13:15:38 * Morgan grins at him Apr 18 13:15:44 You did an amazing job Varick Apr 18 13:16:05 V: I like babies, like my first Vati Apr 18 13:16:33 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 18 13:17:53 V: *he helps Emil stand up, holding his hands* we're going to a new house, Emil. You've never lived in a house before, but I have Apr 18 13:18:28 * Morgan watches them, smiling faintly Apr 18 13:18:44 * HH watches too Apr 18 13:19:14 Cute kids y' gotcher self Apr 18 13:20:22 * Morgan nods Apr 18 13:20:27 Yeah, I have Apr 18 13:22:41 $first Vati, is he?$ Apr 18 13:23:01 $Apparently so$ Apr 18 13:28:02 $good for him$ Apr 18 13:28:25 * Morgan nods Apr 18 13:28:36 $I thought I was asking too much of him to be honest$ Apr 18 13:30:11 *Emil starts fussing, much like he had that woke Morgan from his dream* Apr 18 13:30:38 $seems to have handled it well$ Apr 18 13:31:26 * Morgan nods, smiling Apr 18 13:31:48 [Love, did you express anything for Emil?] Apr 18 13:36:42 [no, am I needed?] Apr 18 13:36:54 [he's fussing some] Apr 18 13:38:04 $Claudia was asking if I picked Uisin on purpose$ Apr 18 13:38:38 [I'll be five minutes] Apr 18 13:38:45 [alright love] Apr 18 13:39:00 * Morgan lifts Emil, throwing him in the air briefly Apr 18 13:39:06 $she's short and pretty$ Apr 18 13:39:17 *he laughs excitedly* Apr 18 13:39:30 $She's our translator$ Apr 18 13:39:36 * Morgan does it again Apr 18 13:39:39 * HH laughs Apr 18 13:39:54 *Both children are laughing* Apr 18 13:40:12 Oh man, gon' be stuck together all week Apr 18 13:41:05 * Morgan nods Apr 18 13:43:56 $what was her reaction to the translator then?$ Apr 18 13:44:41 $Well, when she was thinking I'd picked her on purpose, she was quite cross$ Apr 18 13:45:41 $fancies her then$ Apr 18 13:47:43 $Just her type$ Apr 18 13:50:43 $she wasn't looking for a gorgeous girl, and one falls right in her lap$ Apr 18 13:52:38 $she's ok I suppose$ Apr 18 13:53:14 $she's not as gorgeous as my wife, but she's pretty nice$ Apr 18 13:54:19 * Morgan nods, playing with Emil Apr 18 13:55:02 *Emil decides to try to latch onto Morgan instead* Apr 18 13:55:19 * HH chuckles "Someone is missin' his bubbies" Apr 18 13:56:32 * Morgan nods, turning him slightly so he can't get to his chest Apr 18 13:56:38 I know lad, I know, she's on her way Apr 18 13:58:18 *Emil gets more fussy, then starts crying loudly as soon as Molly opens the door* Apr 18 13:58:23 * HH is now known as Molly Apr 18 13:58:38 Oh, my poor baby! I'm here, I'm sorry! Apr 18 13:58:53 * Morgan hands him over Apr 18 13:58:59 $someones getting played there I think$ Apr 18 13:59:40 * Molly takes him, cuddling and kissing him whilst he pulls at the front of her shift Apr 18 13:59:54 I'll take him through Apr 18 14:00:01 Alright love Apr 18 14:00:09 $maybe I'll try that myself$ Apr 18 14:01:05 * Molly takes Emil in the bedroom. Inga comes in, and Heinzharold feigns crying like a baby. She looks at Morgan "what is wrong with him?!" Apr 18 14:01:59 Huh... guess it only works if you're small and cute... Apr 18 14:04:13 I: Is he trying to be a baby? Apr 18 14:04:29 * Morgan nods, crooking a finger at her to come closer Apr 18 14:05:45 *Inga does so* Apr 18 14:06:22 * Morgan speaks quietly Apr 18 14:06:55 Will you keep an eye to Molly? You know she has a habit of working to her detriment if she thinks it will benefit someone, particularly if she feels she ought to Apr 18 14:07:34 I: Yes, don't worry. The people love her Apr 18 14:08:10 * Morgan nods Apr 18 14:08:22 I don't want her setting fire to herself to keep others warm, if you see what I mean Apr 18 14:10:31 I: I think she's more mindful since the Sheik, but I'll keep an eye out. Don't forget that even though she's doing such a good job she still needs you Apr 18 14:11:00 I haven't forgotten but I'm not with her for most of the day... Apr 18 14:12:48 * Molly is now known as Inga Apr 18 14:13:18 You're going to miss her a lot Apr 18 14:14:07 * Morgan nods Apr 18 14:14:09 Yes I am Apr 18 14:15:38 Have you told her? Apr 18 14:16:02 Not yet... we've all been a little busy Apr 18 14:16:20 * Inga nods Apr 18 14:16:24 It's so hot! Apr 18 14:18:37 * Morgan nods Apr 18 14:18:41 Bit much for my liking Apr 18 14:20:46 * Inga nods Apr 18 14:20:58 Even with nothing underneath I'm too hot! Apr 18 14:21:08 $damn right she is$ Apr 18 14:21:18 * Morgan blinks Apr 18 14:22:17 Its going to feel freezing when we get home Apr 18 14:23:18 * Inga nods, sitting beside HH on the couch Apr 18 14:23:28 V: Can we open the bags now? Apr 18 14:23:40 Lets wait for mama to come out Apr 18 14:25:45 *There's a knock on the door* Apr 18 14:25:59 Come in Apr 18 14:27:57 *A couple of sailors bring them covered trays* Apr 18 14:28:13 * Morgan points toward the desk, thanking them Apr 18 14:31:56 *they retreat, and Varick comes to look* V: Can we open these?! Apr 18 14:32:04 * Morgan nods Apr 18 14:34:11 *Varick does so. There's a lot of food they don't recognise, plus some bread, meat and cheese on one. The other contains small pastries and lots of chopped fruits* Apr 18 14:35:19 * Inga looks "I see something with noodles, some sort of rice, and some leaf parcels..." Apr 18 14:35:47 No fish? Apr 18 14:36:23 I don't know. There's these dough parcels, maybe it's in that? Apr 18 14:36:42 *HH pulls up a chair* mebbie they knew we were tired of fish? Apr 18 14:37:41 *Varick sits up too* Can we eat now, Vati? Apr 18 14:38:13 Aye, go on, I'll get some for mama Apr 18 14:39:13 *The others start putting food on their plates. HH starts with the dough balls* Apr 18 14:39:52 * Morgan gets a plate made for Molly with a variety of the foods Apr 18 14:40:00 *he makes the sort of noise that makes Inga blush* HH: Oh man, there's pork in that! Damn that's good! Apr 18 14:40:33 * Morgan chuckles Apr 18 14:41:57 * Inga smiles "the rice is nice too, it tastes a bit like chocolate, but something else too" Apr 18 14:42:23 * Morgan puts Molly's plate to one side, piled high with food before putting some on a plate for himself Apr 18 14:43:02 *HH chuckles* tryinna fatten yer wife up a bit? Apr 18 14:43:23 No, just... making sure she has a bit of everything Apr 18 14:43:54 He's probably trying to stop you eating it all, Heinzharold! *she smiles at him* Apr 18 14:44:11 Might be some truth in that Apr 18 14:44:16 HH: *he looks at Inga* I can't help bein' a hungry boy Apr 18 14:44:24 *Varick laughs at this* Apr 18 14:45:46 * Morgan smiles, popping one of the dough balls in his mouth Apr 18 14:47:43 *They settle to eating, talking about the various foods. The noodle concoction contains chicken, carrots, noodles, ginger, and a salty sort of thin sauce that he's never come across before (soy sauce). The dough balls are light but well packed with spiced minced pork, also slightly salty. The rice does taste a little like unsweetened chocolate, and Apr 18 14:47:43 of something else unfamiliar (coconut). The leaf parcels taste a bit like this new flavour, cream, onions, and spring greens* Apr 18 14:48:56 HH: I could live 'ere just for th' food, man! *he's certainly doing a good job at packing it in* Apr 18 14:50:10 I wonder if... I'm sure we could learn to cook this... Apr 18 14:50:18 V: I like the rice best. I want to eat this everyday forever Apr 18 14:50:52 HH: prob'ly give y' some cookin' lessons if y' ask Apr 18 14:51:01 * Inga is now known as Molly Apr 18 14:51:32 Just thinking.... The Eisenfurst goes to special events primarily to see what lengths the people go to with the food to show off... -this-... Apr 18 14:52:31 I: You could have the food for the baptisms. It will make the guests more interested in the trading Apr 18 14:53:00 * Morgan nods, shifting so Molly can sit down Apr 18 14:53:16 * Molly sits by him, Emil in her arms "oh good, lunch is here. I think we should leave for the house soon" Apr 18 14:53:28 * Morgan nods Apr 18 14:53:29 If you wish Apr 18 14:53:53 Before they're both asleep, ideally Apr 18 14:54:25 Right, ok Apr 18 14:55:01 HH: could go after quiet hour instead? Apr 18 14:55:31 Is there a specific reason you want to go before then love? Apr 18 14:56:07 No, it was just that they will be tired soon Apr 18 14:57:34 * Morgan nods Apr 18 14:57:37 Up to you my love Apr 18 14:58:52 [it depends on how much you need to reconnect with me versus how eager you are to explore the island more] Apr 18 15:00:14 [I think we could do with an hour to ourselves] Apr 18 15:01:06 We will have quiet hour and then when everyone is rested we will go to the house Apr 18 15:02:36 HH: Yes, Ambassador *he salutes her* Apr 18 15:02:52 * Molly smiles, rolling her eyes "Which food would you recommend first, my love?" Apr 18 15:03:13 * Morgan picks up a dough ball, offering it to her Apr 18 15:03:50 * Molly takes it, eating a little before smiling "I thought it was going to be more fish!" Apr 18 15:04:23 *Emil tries to get it from her hand* Apr 18 15:05:03 None here so far as we can tell Apr 18 15:05:32 * Molly feeds a little to the baby, who seems to like it Apr 18 15:05:46 It's nice. Why does it taste salty? Apr 18 15:05:57 $because it's not paint$ Apr 18 15:06:08 * Morgan sniggers Apr 18 15:06:12 No idea Apr 18 15:06:37 * Molly watches him, amused [that's funny?] Apr 18 15:06:54 We'll definitely need to have this again Apr 18 15:07:00 [he said because its not paint] Apr 18 15:07:50 * Molly smiles a little [that comes in soft white domes too...] Apr 18 15:08:25 * Morgan blushes, stuffing some cheese in his mouth Apr 18 15:08:47 *the cheese is mildly peppered* Apr 18 15:09:31 * Molly shares the remainder of the dough ball with the baby who grizzles every time it's not his turn Apr 18 15:10:37 * Morgan coughs Apr 18 15:10:42 Wasn't expecting the pepper Apr 18 15:10:49 Is it nice? Apr 18 15:11:06 * Morgan nods Apr 18 15:11:07 Very Apr 18 15:11:52 * Molly takes some. Emil pulls some off, stuffing it in his mouth. Regrets are had, and he makes a disgusted face Apr 18 15:20:53 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Apr 18 15:21:23 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Apr 18 16:53:11 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Apr 18 16:53:48 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Apr 18 16:54:34 Not that one huh Apr 18 16:55:15 *He starts to cry* Apr 18 16:58:16 * MollyK shuffles her chair back from the table before lowering her shift and stays a little, holding him facing her sat on her lap so he can latch. Given her initial unsureness about nursing in front of the others, this is very casual "could you please pass me one of those leaf things from my plate, my love?" Apr 18 16:58:50 * Morgan nods, doing so Apr 18 16:59:27 V: if Mama sits at the table we might get splashed! Apr 18 16:59:51 Oh, I don't think Emil would let that happen Apr 18 17:00:42 * MollyK eats the parcel Apr 18 17:00:55 V: why doesn't he like the cheese? Apr 18 17:09:01 Its peppery Apr 18 17:12:22 *they work through some more of the food, and Emil is soon back to trying things. Molly is the only one who hasn't cleared her plate before Varick asks for the fruit and pastries* Apr 18 17:12:48 Hold your horses lad, lets wait for mama Apr 18 17:17:19 Would you take this little man so I can catch up? Apr 18 17:17:45 * Morgan nods, taking him Apr 18 17:21:17 *Emil is also keen to get the fruit* Apr 18 17:21:52 HeinzHarold, do me a favour and cut some fruit up Apr 18 17:24:07 *HH does so. There's several things he's not seen before, bananas, pineapple, passionfruit and coconut, most already cut to big chunks. There's small pastries that look like those from home, and what looks like sweet cooked dough balls* Apr 18 17:24:38 HH: Gotta say man, they have some pretty odd food here Apr 18 17:25:40 Its good though Apr 18 17:25:47 *Morgan has tried passion fruit before, in one of the very first dreams he went into, it was made into a drink. It tastes just the same, but he's never had it in reality* Apr 18 17:26:20 HH: *he licks his fingers when he's done* oh yeah, fruit is good too! Apr 18 17:26:35 * Morgan nods, picking up some passion fruit for Emil Apr 18 17:27:51 *He eats it before squawking with his mouth open for more, just like a little bird. Molly finishes, so they all start to eat the things. Varick is enamoured immediately with the dough balls* Apr 18 17:28:34 * Morgan breaks a banana into pieces, trying it before handing a piece to Emil Apr 18 17:28:53 *Emil happily eats this too* Apr 18 17:29:06 That one I liked Apr 18 17:29:39 * MollyK eats another piece of pineapple "Not too sweet? I swear none of my dresses will fit by the time we go home!" Apr 18 17:30:42 Its strange... its sweet but... different Apr 18 17:31:11 V: Can we grow these at Hafenlohr? Apr 18 17:31:26 I don't think they'd grow at home... Apr 18 17:31:47 V: If we had a big hot house, I bet Florrie could grow them Apr 18 17:32:13 * Morgan nods Apr 18 17:32:16 I imagine so Apr 18 17:32:31 HH: You could make a fortune, man. Somethin' this good an' this rare? Nobles would be beggin' for it Apr 18 17:32:59 * Morgan nods Apr 18 17:33:16 He has a good point love... Apr 18 17:34:14 * MollyK eats another piece "Absolutely. Faulk was particularly interested in arts, ceramics, cloths and so on, but the demand for the food would be intense, and very quickly consumed..." Apr 18 17:35:17 * Morgan nods Apr 18 17:35:33 I don't think there'd be much by way of clothes... Apr 18 17:37:15 * MollyK smiles "the textiles, perhaps. The material would make lovely summer dresses over appropriate undergarments. The drape would be good, and the breathability. They'd be nice to work with" Apr 18 17:38:01 * Morgan nods Apr 18 17:38:09 *HH glances at Morgan* $Dietlinde would have liked the fabric, not the outfits$ Apr 18 17:39:12 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 18 17:39:20 $She'd have hated the clothes$ Apr 18 17:39:39 V: Would the fruit and the plants survive until we got home? Apr 18 17:39:52 $And having to be the centre of attention$ Apr 18 17:40:37 * MollyK tilts her head thoughtfully Apr 18 17:42:21 $oh yes, she'd despise that$ Apr 18 17:44:41 I... I think the plants would at least. Seeds definitely Apr 18 17:45:58 If... if the fruits weren't ripe when they were picked, they -might- make it to Eisen... Apr 18 17:47:10 * MollyK nods "if the conditions were right... at the very least possibly to Morgan's Rock so Florrie could see them" Apr 18 17:47:47 * Morgan nods Apr 18 17:47:55 I wonder if Christopher could grow them in his hot house Apr 18 17:48:53 [another interlinking magic... like how Florrie can make plants grow hardy, Varick can make birds and bugs spread the seeds well. Florrie can grow plants, you can heat and regulate the temperature of a hot house to grow them effectively...] Apr 18 17:49:34 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 18 17:49:50 [getting them home would be the challenge] Apr 18 17:50:19 [heat a cabin?] Apr 18 17:50:49 [While commanding...] Apr 18 17:51:22 [true, true] Apr 18 17:52:39 *they continue to chat and eat until everyone is done. HH pats his stomach* HH: Look, I gotta lil belly all of my own! Apr 18 17:53:06 *Varick yawns, and Emil is looking close to sleep* Apr 18 17:53:37 * Morgan smiles, looking at the boys Apr 18 17:54:03 We'll need to arrange for someone to take our things to the house... blossom what do you want doing with all these gifts that were acquired on a days notice? Apr 18 17:55:09 The clothes I think we can all decide what we wish to wear and take along. Most of the flowers and rocks and beads we will leave here I think Apr 18 17:56:20 * Morgan nods, standing and picking up Varick in one arm Apr 18 17:56:28 Come on lad, lets get you to slee Apr 18 17:57:26 * MollyK takes Emil through too, and gives both sleepy boys a quick wipe down with a wet cloth Apr 18 17:59:50 * Morgan helps getting them into the bed and crib respectively Apr 18 18:00:16 *she watches them with a smile* [two exhausted, well -fed boys...] Apr 18 18:01:27 * Morgan nods Apr 18 18:02:01 * MollyK takes his hand, gently kissing his knuckles before heading back to the study. HH and Inga have moved to the couch, giving no indication that they're planning to leave for quiet hour Apr 18 18:02:59 * Morgan goes to another couch, moving to give her space before wrapping himself around her Apr 18 18:03:24 [do we want to say we're going a nap, my love?] Apr 18 18:03:43 [No, I think we'll do just fine like this] Apr 18 18:06:01 *HH is keeping an eye on them, smirking a little. The only space that doesn't put their backs to their friends is the window seat. Molly sighs, resting her head on Morgan's shoulder and linking her fingers with his* Apr 18 18:09:02 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Apr 18 19:03:57 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Apr 18 19:17:04 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Apr 18 19:17:06 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Apr 18 19:17:32 Something is amusing HeinzHarold? Apr 18 19:18:28 *he shrugs, stroking Inga's hair casually* Apr 18 19:19:35 *it's quiet another few minutes before Inga holds out an empty hand to HH* I: That's five minutes Apr 18 19:19:50 HH: Damn! *He hands her a guilder* Apr 18 19:21:11 I see. *his tone carries the same edge as just before he beats someone to a pulp, clearly unimpressed* Apr 18 19:21:45 I: I told him you wouldn't be keen to be rid of us today Apr 18 19:23:52 * Morgan watches the two of them steadily Apr 18 19:24:28 * MollyK smiles "I was tempted to send you off as soon as we came back in! I'm sure there are things you could be doing more fun than betting on us!" Apr 18 19:25:12 Such as how the two of you are getting home... Apr 18 19:25:40 *HH watches Morgan* $since when do you get so wound up about me fooling around$ Apr 18 19:26:29 $You bet on me showing my scars man. You wanna bet on how long til Claudia hits on a man too?$ Apr 18 19:28:10 *Inga stands up. She looks very unsure of herself* I think we'll go and look at the outfits maybe. Shall we come back at two...? Apr 18 19:28:52 $I bet on whether you'd take it off today or tomorrow. Didn't plan to hurt you, man, you know me better than that$ Apr 18 19:29:21 $well you did. $ Apr 18 19:29:45 * MollyK looks at them before going to help Inga find the right labelled bags "We'll come by around then" Apr 18 19:29:56 $I'm sorry$ Apr 18 19:30:32 I: *she and Molly hug* I'll be sure we're ready Apr 18 19:30:35 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 18 19:31:07 *Inga gives HH a look* I: Come on. Apr 18 19:32:11 *HH looks serious, following her out. Molly closes the door behind them, frowning* Apr 18 19:33:03 Well, that was juvenile of them. Do you want me to express for when he wakes, or shall I wait until we get to the house? Apr 18 19:33:38 * Morgan shrugs, looking out the window Apr 18 19:34:59 * MollyK sighs "what would you like to do now?" Apr 18 19:35:28 I don't know. I'm hurting. Apr 18 19:35:54 Alright... do you want me to hold you? Apr 18 19:36:26 * Morgan nods, looking miserable Apr 18 19:36:45 * MollyK comes to him, wrapping her arms around him Apr 18 19:37:10 * Morgan puts his head on her shoulder, sighing heavily Apr 18 19:38:13 Talk to me... are you upset that I was so absent, or that Emil was so upset waiting for me? Apr 18 19:39:37 No, neither Apr 18 19:40:23 * Morgan sighs Apr 18 19:40:48 They bet on whether or not we'd go five minutes before shuffling them out... he bet on which day I'd be brave enough to go without a shirt. Apr 18 19:41:45 What?! Apr 18 19:41:50 * Morgan nods Apr 18 19:41:52 With Varick Apr 18 19:42:12 * MollyK takes a very long, very deep breath Apr 18 19:42:19 Right, I see. Apr 18 19:43:39 That is why I am... angry doesn't cover it. Apr 18 19:43:48 * MollyK nods Apr 18 19:43:54 Absolutely! Apr 18 19:44:34 * Morgan rolls his shoulders Apr 18 19:44:58 I think maybe they should stay on the ship tonight Apr 18 19:45:23 That will upset Inga Apr 18 19:45:30 I don't care. Apr 18 19:46:02 Yes you do. You're angry and protective of me. I think... I may have said something I shouldn't have Apr 18 19:46:18 To Heinzharold? Apr 18 19:46:32 * Morgan nods Apr 18 19:46:57 What was it? Apr 18 19:47:18 I said that since he's betting on when I would show my scars, maybe he'd bet on how long til Claudia hits on a man next... Apr 18 19:47:39 * MollyK shrugs Apr 18 19:47:45 That is not undeserved. Apr 18 19:47:53 perhaps Apr 18 19:48:18 I am deeply disappointed in him right now Apr 18 19:48:39 You do not think I am overreacting? Being over sensitive? Apr 18 19:51:12 No. I am frankly shocked he would be so casual about it. And betting with Claudia about it would have been very different to betting with -Varick-! No, it is lucky I haven't heard of it before now, because there would have been trouble. And Inga is going to be livid when she finds out Apr 18 19:51:59 * Morgan nods slowly Apr 18 19:53:56 What the hell was he thinking?! Apr 18 19:54:07 * Morgan shrugs Apr 18 19:54:19 I suppose he doesn't see it as important Apr 18 19:54:46 Well maybe I will go right on down there and correct that for him! Apr 18 19:55:32 If that is what you need to do Apr 18 19:55:54 * MollyK looks up at him "you aren't going to tell me not to?" Apr 18 19:56:31 * Morgan shrugs Apr 18 19:56:40 Why would I? The rules are different here Apr 18 19:57:03 * MollyK huffs "I don't care to be the husband." Apr 18 19:57:37 * Morgan nods Apr 18 19:58:02 If going and telling him off is important to you, I will not stop you Apr 18 20:01:42 Do you need me here more? Apr 18 20:02:06 * Morgan sighs Apr 18 20:02:10 I will manage Apr 18 20:02:44 Tell me what you prefer, and you shall have it Apr 18 20:03:16 I don't know, if I'm honest Apr 18 20:03:50 * MollyK nods, hugging him again Apr 18 20:05:18 * Morgan sighs again Apr 18 20:07:01 * MollyK lets go "this needs sorting." Apr 18 20:07:59 * Morgan shrugs Apr 18 20:08:00 Alright Apr 18 20:08:24 * MollyK kisses his cheek Apr 18 20:08:31 I will be back soon Apr 18 20:08:40 * Morgan nods Apr 18 20:09:58 * MollyK puts her hand on his cheek "being bare chested is a huge step for you, and I am enormously proud of you." Apr 18 20:10:31 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 18 20:11:41 * MollyK watches him a moment before kissing his cheek Apr 18 20:11:47 I will be back Apr 18 20:11:52 * Morgan nods Apr 18 20:12:38 * MollyK goes Apr 18 20:13:15 * Morgan gets up, going to rummage through the trunk with their clothes on it before pulling out a long sleeved shirt Apr 18 20:14:52 * MollyK is back just as he gets it on "they were already shou-..." she frowns, seeing the shirt Apr 18 20:16:10 * Morgan looks vaguely ashamed of himself, not looking at her Apr 18 20:16:56 Come here, liebes herz Apr 18 20:17:28 * Morgan moves toward her, still looking away Apr 18 20:17:42 * MollyK opens her arms Apr 18 20:17:52 * Morgan moves into them Apr 18 20:18:32 My darling, if you need to wear your shirt, you wear your shirt. You do not need to be ashamed. Apr 18 20:19:03 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 18 20:20:00 I will stay up all night sewing you one from the light fabric they have here if that will help you Apr 18 20:20:19 No, you won't. You need to rest so you are ready for negotiations Apr 18 20:20:37 Then I will have servants do it. Apr 18 20:21:08 I'll manage love Apr 18 20:25:02 * MollyK nods, looking even more on the warpath when she leaves Apr 18 20:25:53 * Morgan sighs, getting some whiskey, downing it, refilling his glass and downing that as well before filling a third Apr 18 20:27:22 *he hears absolutely nothing for fifteen minutes* Apr 18 20:28:25 *there's a knock on the door, it sounds like Claudia* Apr 18 20:28:50 Come in Apr 18 20:28:58 * MollyK is now known as Claudia Apr 18 20:29:02 Hey Apr 18 20:29:19 hey Apr 18 20:29:26 * Morgan takes a mouthful Apr 18 20:29:43 Figured it'd be quieter here than in my cabin Apr 18 20:30:00 Shouting, huh? Apr 18 20:30:28 Oh yes. Molly and Inga taking turns at it Apr 18 20:30:52 * Morgan nods Apr 18 20:31:00 Bit over the top Apr 18 20:31:51 * Claudia shrugs "they both sound really angry. Is he in shit for eyeing up the locals already" Apr 18 20:32:06 No, he's not Apr 18 20:32:30 * Claudia frowns, helping herself to a seat Apr 18 20:32:50 What the fuck's going on then? Apr 18 20:33:33 He bet Inga we'd shuffle them out of the room within five minutes of the boys going to sleep... earlier, he had a bet with Varick about how long it'd be before I went without a shirt and showed my scars. Apr 18 20:34:10 * Claudia frowns "first one is no biggie, right?" Apr 18 20:34:33 * Morgan shrugs Apr 18 20:34:44 Icing on the cake, so to speak Apr 18 20:35:06 * Claudia nods Apr 18 20:35:21 He shouldn't have done that Apr 18 20:36:29 No. Am I some circus freak to be bet on? Apr 18 20:37:04 No Apr 18 20:37:41 * Morgan nods, drinking Apr 18 20:38:46 Want me to smack the shit out of him? Apr 18 20:39:49 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 18 20:40:33 No. Not worth it. Apr 18 20:40:51 *There's a gentle tap at the door, and Inga says "Morgan? Can I see you please?" Apr 18 20:41:15 * Claudia rolls her eyes Apr 18 20:41:27 Come in Inga Apr 18 20:41:45 *Inga does so. She looks like she's been crying* Apr 18 20:42:02 * Claudia looks to Morgan "I'll be on deck if you need me" Apr 18 20:42:14 * Morgan nods, thanking her Apr 18 20:42:33 * Claudia goes off, shutting the door. Inga watches him sadly Apr 18 20:42:39 * Claudia is now known as Inga Apr 18 20:42:52 I'm really sorry, can I give you a hug? Apr 18 20:43:02 If you like Apr 18 20:43:13 * Inga comes to hug him Apr 18 20:43:49 * Morgan slowly wraps his arms around her Apr 18 20:44:01 Molly is still shouting at Heinzharold Apr 18 20:44:27 So I hear. Bit unnecessary. Apr 18 20:44:47 I think she's a bit scared, and it's been a big morning Apr 18 20:44:58 Scared? Apr 18 20:46:14 All the progress that you've made to be more accepting of yourself, and he's damaged it with one stupid bet. I really cross with him Apr 18 20:47:57 It doesn't matter. Apr 18 20:48:55 Yes it does! He knows he's made a big mistake Apr 18 20:50:17 * Morgan speaks quietly Apr 18 20:50:24 It doesn't matter love. Its only me. Apr 18 20:50:42 * Inga hugs him really hard Apr 18 20:50:48 No! Don't say that! Apr 18 20:51:47 * Morgan shrugs slightly, sighing Apr 18 20:53:57 It matters so much. I love you, you're my friend. Apr 18 20:54:45 I love you too Apr 18 20:56:11 I know he feels really bad about it Apr 18 20:57:52 Can't say he seemed to when I told him I was upset Apr 18 20:59:05 I think he was shocked Apr 18 20:59:56 Shocked? Apr 18 21:00:14 I don't think he realised you were mad at him Apr 18 21:02:02 I made it fairly obvious to him Apr 18 21:05:15 Not until I said about the bet Apr 18 21:06:06 No... Apr 18 21:07:47 [I am done with him. Do you want to see him, or shall I find him some work?] Apr 18 21:08:37 [I don't want to see him right now. If it weren't for the boys I'd be hiding out at the top of the mast] Apr 18 21:09:17 [I can come back if that is what you wish, but I would prefer to endeavour not to retreat from me] Apr 18 21:11:12 [You were planning to stay away?] Apr 18 21:11:34 * Morgan lets her go, finishing his drink before pushing the glass across the desk Apr 18 21:11:51 [I was coming back to be with you. I can be with the boys if you wish to escape] Apr 18 21:13:01 Molly doesn't want us to come to the house Apr 18 21:13:41 No? Apr 18 21:13:53 * Inga shakes her head Apr 18 21:14:28 She said she thought it would probably be better if we stay with the ship Apr 18 21:14:58 That hurts you. Apr 18 21:15:42 I'm sad, and I thought you'd want some time just the two of you there, but I don't want our presence to be unwelcome Apr 18 21:17:17 I'll be alright in a while Apr 18 21:18:18 No, you shouldn't have to be, it's his fault. We will stay here tonight Apr 18 21:20:13 * Morgan sighs Apr 18 21:20:22 I don't like us all being ill at ease with eachother Apr 18 21:20:52 No, it's not fun, is it, especially when there's so much at stake with Molly's work Apr 18 21:21:00 * Morgan nods Apr 18 21:22:24 *Molly opens the door, coming in. She looks to Inga "You'll want to go back, he needs you" Apr 18 21:22:53 * Inga nods, looking to Morgan "thank you for seeing me" Apr 18 21:23:18 * Morgan nods Apr 18 21:23:19 Of course Apr 18 21:24:21 * Inga leaves. Molly sighs "Twenty minutes of quite time left" Apr 18 21:24:28 * Inga is now known as Molly Apr 18 21:24:55 * Morgan nods Apr 18 21:25:39 * Molly watches him "Alright... would you like me to hold you again?" Apr 18 21:26:00 * Morgan shrugs Apr 18 21:26:04 I don't know Apr 18 21:27:01 * Molly nods "I am going to lie down and rest my eyes for ten minutes. Do you wish to join me?" Apr 18 21:27:39 * Morgan nods Apr 18 21:28:24 * Molly goes to the bedroom, kicking off her boots and lying down. She sighs. Apr 18 21:29:03 I will repack our bags and we will find our guide. Do you still wish to walk rather than row? Apr 18 21:29:26 * Morgan nods Apr 18 21:29:28 I think so Apr 18 21:29:47 * Molly nods, closing her eyes Apr 18 21:30:06 What did you say to him? Apr 18 21:31:03 That he was an ass, that I am disappointed, that he has hurt you badly and put everything you've worked for at risk, and that including Varick in it was so very wrong Apr 18 21:31:59 Took a long time to say that Apr 18 21:32:15 That is the general gist Apr 18 21:33:27 * Morgan nods Apr 18 21:33:59 He is very repentant, but it doesn't change what he did Apr 18 21:34:32 * Morgan sighs Apr 18 21:36:32 How is it -I- feel bad for getting -him- in trouble? Apr 18 21:37:57 Firstly, he got himself there, and secondly, because you are childhood best friends Apr 18 21:38:24 I suppose Apr 18 21:38:35 * Molly nods Apr 18 21:38:51 Will you lie beside me? This isn't the quiet hour any of us wanted Apr 18 21:39:21 * Morgan nods, laying down Apr 18 21:39:52 * Molly taps over her heart, as she often does when he's very burdened Apr 18 21:40:00 Here? Apr 18 21:40:17 * Morgan moves, putting his head to her chest Apr 18 21:41:17 * Molly strokes his hair "I think some time for tempers to cool might be wise" Apr 18 21:42:09 * Morgan shrugs Apr 18 21:42:14 My temper is cool Apr 18 21:42:23 I know Apr 18 21:43:06 * Morgan nods Apr 18 21:43:35 Will we leave them behind? Apr 18 21:43:59 When we go to the house? Apr 18 21:44:05 * Molly nods Apr 18 21:44:10 * Morgan shrugs Apr 18 21:44:16 I don't know Apr 18 21:44:26 No one wants to face Emmilene if we leave them in Capperlucia Apr 18 21:46:13 * Morgan nods Apr 18 21:46:54 I think we should go quite soon Apr 18 21:47:06 * Morgan nods Apr 18 21:48:04 alright Apr 18 21:50:28 How might we explain them remaining without lying? Apr 18 21:50:58 To? Apr 18 21:51:31 Varick Apr 18 21:52:57 Why lie? Apr 18 21:54:16 I don't want you to lie Apr 18 21:55:15 I don't have to. Its quite simple. HeinzHarold has upset me so they're going to join us later or tomorrow Apr 18 21:57:36 Won't he ask how? Apr 18 21:58:28 Maybe Apr 18 21:59:15 I hope he doesn't feel awful himself. He is a child, it is Heinzharold at fault Apr 18 21:59:29 * Morgan sighs Apr 18 21:59:47 I don't intend to tell him -that- much detail Apr 18 22:08:00 * Molly has quit (Ping Timeout) Apr 18 22:17:53 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Apr 18 22:18:02 * MollyK nods Apr 18 22:18:12 Alright my love Apr 18 22:23:32 If we decide thats the best cause of action Apr 18 22:24:47 * MollyK nods, eyes closed still Apr 18 22:24:52 Yes, liebling Apr 18 22:27:02 The boys liked the food Apr 18 22:27:45 * Morgan nods Apr 18 22:27:50 It was very nice Apr 18 22:28:17 * MollyK nods Apr 18 22:28:38 That yellow fruit that is so sharp and sweet... that is wonderful Apr 18 22:29:57 * Morgan nods Apr 18 22:29:59 Its not bad Apr 18 22:32:04 The idea of cultivation bears considering. We have the land... Apr 18 22:32:56 * Morgan nods Apr 18 22:33:01 We'll think about it Apr 18 22:33:15 * MollyK nods Apr 18 22:33:44 We'll be quite busy cultivating other crops in a hot house, hmm? Apr 18 22:34:21 * Morgan sighs Apr 18 22:34:23 Yes Apr 18 22:34:37 Why do you sigh? Apr 18 22:34:57 It seems a long way away right now Apr 18 22:35:25 * MollyK kisses his crown Apr 18 22:35:53 It could be not much more than six months really Apr 18 22:36:53 * Morgan nods Apr 18 22:37:40 And then you will be cursing your inability to focus on your work or building projects Apr 18 22:39:03 * Morgan shrugs Apr 18 22:40:44 I can quite imagine you saying "blossom, can you -please- just cover up a bit more so I can see to these ledgers for the morning..." Apr 18 22:43:40 Aye, maybe Apr 18 22:43:46 And I, being my usual, provocative self, would remove a layer and tell you you could go to your ledgers, but you would need to see to me first! *she strokes his hair. He can hear from her heartbeat how this silliness has started to calm her* Apr 18 22:44:27 * Morgan nods Apr 18 22:45:54 How did you sleep? You seemed quite peaceful every time I turned over Apr 18 22:47:25 Not bad love Apr 18 22:47:48 Good. We seem to have outrun the nightmares at least Apr 18 22:48:38 * Morgan nods Apr 18 22:48:40 For a while at least Apr 18 22:48:48 * MollyK nods Apr 18 22:49:59 It is a good break, when there is so much going on and to remember, and so very many people to meet and remember! Apr 18 22:50:40 * Morgan nods Apr 18 22:50:42 aye Apr 18 22:51:06 I don't think I have ever hugged as many people in my life as I have today! Apr 18 22:53:01 * Morgan nods Apr 18 22:53:05 You were very popular Apr 18 22:54:33 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Apr 18 22:57:18 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Apr 18 22:57:27 That is rather my job Apr 18 22:57:51 * Morgan nods Apr 18 22:57:58 It was quite strange being all but ignored Apr 18 22:58:23 I suppose even at Catherine's you were never ignored Apr 18 22:59:51 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:00:49 It's certainly mentally taxing. Still I think a good first impression was made Apr 18 23:01:31 Yes, I think so. Everyone was very happy to see you Apr 18 23:02:07 * MollyK nods Apr 18 23:02:32 I am glad, but I am also very glad to have the afternoon and evening to myself Apr 18 23:02:57 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:04:35 I'm sorry I've disrupted that peaceful time Apr 18 23:05:25 * MollyK kisses his crown Apr 18 23:06:17 It isn't your fault, my love. We will have a nice walk, we'll play with the boys on the sand, maybe have a look at the waterfall and pool Apr 18 23:06:27 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:07:43 And we'll sleep in a bed tonight that is completely unmoving Apr 18 23:07:56 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:08:03 And with little chance the place will wander off Apr 18 23:08:22 That will be nice Apr 18 23:08:50 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:09:04 Do you need to check or pack any mirrors? Apr 18 23:09:18 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:09:34 I'll need to arrange it so they can see the beach at the very least Apr 18 23:09:53 From here, or at the house? Apr 18 23:10:20 The house... don't want anyone accidentally discovering them here while we're on land Apr 18 23:10:27 * MollyK nods Apr 18 23:10:49 Alright... *she sighs* I think we'd best get it done Apr 18 23:11:31 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:11:33 Alright love Apr 18 23:11:52 I'll wait until we get there to wear the clothes, I think Apr 18 23:12:11 Right. Apr 18 23:12:36 This is comfortable enough for now Apr 18 23:12:55 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:12:57 Alright Apr 18 23:13:16 I wasn't sure what to wear beneath it Apr 18 23:13:47 No? Apr 18 23:14:11 I need stays to keep the cloths in for my leaking... Apr 18 23:14:53 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:15:02 That would be uncomfortable for you Apr 18 23:15:09 * MollyK nods Apr 18 23:15:32 I do not need all and sundry seeing what Eisen nipples look like! Apr 18 23:15:41 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:15:45 Aye Apr 18 23:18:07 And you definitely do not want them seeing! Apr 18 23:18:43 No, I don't really Apr 18 23:19:30 The shift is a bit thin to wear nothing on the bottom underneath it, so I had to make do with the panties from my wedding lingerie Apr 18 23:20:05 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:20:07 I noticed Apr 18 23:20:16 * MollyK smiles Apr 18 23:20:39 Pleasant memories, before things got complicated as usual? Apr 18 23:20:48 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:20:50 Aye Apr 18 23:21:22 * MollyK nods Apr 18 23:21:59 The undergarment here seems like it would be practical. I will wear that when we get to the house Apr 18 23:22:08 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:22:10 Alright love Apr 18 23:22:35 Will you see to the mirrors whilst I see to the bags? Apr 18 23:23:01 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:23:02 Yes love Apr 18 23:24:33 * MollyK nods, kissing his crown again in preparation of getting up Apr 18 23:25:27 We'll get off as soon as we can Apr 18 23:26:04 * Morgan nods, getting up off the bed Apr 18 23:26:57 * MollyK gets up too, going into the other room Apr 18 23:27:21 * Morgan quietly gets out the mirrors, checking them briefly before wrapping them safely Apr 18 23:30:28 *Edward's says "Which of the wives told mine to moan in my ear like I was pleasuring her? Whoever it is, they are a little baggage! In case you need it, the antidote is to take her to bed, pleasure her until she makes that noise, and then tell her as she's so fond of making it, that will be all she gets to make if she does it again. My wife assures Apr 18 23:30:29 me it was not entertaining enough to trade her pleasure for. Love to all, Edward" Apr 18 23:31:29 * Morgan smiles slightly, wrapping them all up Apr 18 23:31:47 *he isn't interrupted* Apr 18 23:32:38 * MollyK is moving clothes into bags Apr 18 23:32:48 Is everything alright at home? Apr 18 23:33:28 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:33:37 Only a message from Edward, nothing important Apr 18 23:34:30 He is well? Apr 18 23:34:43 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:35:00 Says whoever told Mina to moan in his ear is a little baggage Apr 18 23:35:23 * MollyK smiles slightly "mmhmm" Apr 18 23:36:23 And told me how to get revenge... Apr 18 23:36:40 Oh, doing the same back? Apr 18 23:36:49 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 18 23:36:50 You'll see Apr 18 23:36:58 * MollyK smiles Apr 18 23:37:15 Ah, you assume I will do it again, hmm? Apr 18 23:37:35 You have done twice... but the revenge does not require it again... Apr 18 23:38:00 Oh dear... am I in trouble, mon petit chou? Apr 18 23:38:25 You'll see won't you Apr 18 23:38:40 * MollyK nods a little "I hope so" Apr 18 23:39:15 Right up until I do it, yes... Apr 18 23:39:41 No, I mean... I hope we can find a good time for anything of that nature Apr 18 23:39:58 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:41:38 * MollyK surveys the room Apr 18 23:41:57 Alright, I have everything. Now we must wait for the children Apr 18 23:42:02 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:42:03 Alright Apr 18 23:44:25 *They don't have to wait too long, and then she feeds and changes the baby, Varick gets his bear, and Morgan carries their backs. Waiting at the bottom of the gangplank is a big man of his early twenties, typically Capperlucian looking Apr 18 23:45:52 *He introduces himself as Tua'an, their guide, and hugs everyone before offering to take the backs. He's solid and muscular, he could easily manage them Apr 18 23:46:02 Bags* Apr 18 23:46:19 * Morgan hands him half of them, explaining he likes feeling useful Apr 18 23:48:53 *The guide nods. Molly fastens Emil to her chest, and Varick bounces around them, keen to go. They go down the gangplank, walking across the sandy beach. He seems like a happy, open man. There's not a crowd here now, and the weather is about its hottest, which for Morgan in a shirt is very hot * Apr 18 23:49:37 * Morgan looks round as they walk Apr 18 23:52:55 *it is definitely lovely. When they're across the beach they join a path that takes them on a slope gently upwards through stubby grass and sandy paths. The view out over the beach and sea quickly goes lovely to astounding, the clear light blue sea darker in places where it is a little deeper. Generally he can see sand under the water it's so Apr 18 23:52:55 clear, and shoals of fish in their too. The breeze is better up here, still hot but more bearable Apr 18 23:54:11 I've never seen water so clear Apr 18 23:54:37 * MollyK is now known as Tuaan Apr 18 23:54:57 There's water that isn't? Apr 18 23:56:30 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:56:34 Pretty much everywhere but here Apr 18 23:57:05 * Tuaan shrugs "I don't know about anywhere else. My cousin does though, she's obsessed" Apr 18 23:57:35 Uisin? Apr 18 23:57:47 * Tuaan nods Apr 18 23:57:57 She's going to be your translator Apr 18 23:58:25 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:58:35 We've met. Apr 18 23:59:57 * Tuaan nods
