She smiles "hello ballhead" Apr 26 10:35:58 Hello sweetheart, its good to see you Apr 26 10:36:09 See sand Apr 26 10:36:57 * Morgan nods, picking the mirror up and twisting it so she can see everything Apr 26 10:37:00 Pretty isn't it? Apr 26 10:39:13 Where people? Apr 26 10:39:56 We're a couple of miles away from town, so there's no-one around... Apr 26 10:40:17 See trees?

James, Thomas, and Elsie are staying the night with Peter and Beth Apr 26 11:33:43 Oh? They've grown close... Apr 26 11:35:08 *Alice nods* the babies are so close in age, that bonds people Apr 26 11:38:34 * Morgan nods Apr 26 11:38:47 I suppose it does... they'll find it difficult to leave Apr 26 11:40:21 A: Elsie is excited to go to Eisen. James wants to see his mother again Apr 26 11:41:13 * Morgan nods Apr 26 11:41:21 I wonder how she'll fare living there Apr 26 11:42:28 A: Elsie is very resilient, I think she'll be fine. Do you know where they'll be living? Apr 26 11:46:26 No, not yet... I want to spend a bit of time with James to discuss it Apr 26 11:48:19 A: They want to get married in a Vaticine church.

Apr 26 12:26:10 A: You've been very lucky then Apr 26 12:27:05 I've been in some really bad ones, don't get me wrong... but I don't -get- seasick Apr 26 12:29:15 A: I don't much, though with Florrie I was sick every day for seven months, so it's hard to know which was which! Apr 26 12:32:09 * Morgan laughs Apr 26 12:32:31 Unfortunate. Inga throws up the first day and then is fine until she sets foot on land, then it starts again Apr 26 12:33:26 A: that's unfortunate Apr 26 12:34:52 * Morgan nods Apr 26 12:35:07 She could stand on a dock for ten minutes and get back on the ship and she'll be sick once we set sail Apr 26 12:37:32 *Alice laughs* I suppose at least you know it is coming Apr 26 12:38:03 * Morgan nods Apr 26 12:38:28 Small mercies.

Apr 26 12:43:24 * Morgan offers it some more Apr 26 12:43:30 Rainbow bird Apr 26 12:43:53 Now what are they called... Nua something I think Apr 26 12:44:16 *It was the Na'ani bird* Apr 26 12:44:26 Bird come Morgan's Sock? Apr 26 12:45:14 Na'ani bird, thats it...

Apr 26 13:11:47 * Morgan nods, taking a dagger and cutting it open before showing her the meat of the fruit Apr 26 13:12:21 Different on inside Apr 26 13:12:27 * Morgan nods Apr 26 13:12:41 Oh yes... its quite sweet but nothing like anything I've tasted before Apr 26 13:15:31 Seed in middle? Apr 26 13:15:51 * Morgan nods, cutting it out and showing it to her Apr 26 13:18:02 * Florrie looks at it Apr 26 13:18:07 Seed hard? Apr 26 13:18:35 * Morgan taps it before surrepticiously throwing some fruit to the bird Apr 26 13:19:23 It is, yes... massive seed though Apr 26 13:19:34 I grow Apr 26 13:20:26 * Morgan nods Apr 26 13:20:35 I'll make sure we've got some of these seeds Apr 26 13:20:56 * Florrie nods Apr 26 13:21:27 Okay ball head Apr 26 13:23:16 * Morgan smiles eating some of the mango Apr 26 13:24:46 *there's a small row boat with a single occupant coming from the direction of town* Apr 26 13:25:09 Looks like I have a visitor, I'd better go Apr 26 13:26:56 Bye ballhead, love you Apr 26 13:27:04 Bye sweetheart, love you too Apr 26 13:28:34 *they cover the mirror* Apr 26 13:28:59 * Morgan covers his, packing them up and taking them inside and packed away before coming back out to the sand Apr 26 13:34:51 * Florrie is now known as man Apr 26 13:35:24 * man takes the rowboat to the jetty, ties up, then walks to Morgan Apr 26 13:35:53 I come from the Ambassador Apr 26 13:35:59 Is she alright?

I am well. Quiet hour seems too loud. I imagine spending it in the hammock with you. My love, MK xx" Apr 26 13:45:51 * Morgan nods Apr 26 13:46:02 alright.

Apr 26 17:15:06 * Morgan looks over the securing points before climbing into the hammock Apr 26 17:17:28 *it feels plenty sturdy, she shuffles to give him space* Apr 26 17:18:44 How was your day? Apr 26 17:19:08 * Molly smiles, watching him Apr 26 17:19:25 It -was- good... now it is perfect Apr 26 17:22:06 * Morgan nods, smiling Apr 26 17:36:43 Djdjd Apr 26 17:36:52 * Molly watches him fondly Apr 26 17:37:31 The sight of you is more delightful than the sights I've seen today. And your note... Apr 26 17:38:03 I'm glad you liked it... I as quite worried when he turned up Apr 26 17:39:00 I loved it. I will treasure it Apr 26 17:40:24 What did you do today? Apr 26 17:40:36 * Molly smiles Apr 26 17:42:09 I went to the museum. It was very interesting, both their history and also their collections on Theah Main Apr 26 17:42:24 * Morgan nods Apr 26 17:44:32 Then I went to the hospital. It is so -clean-. They strongly believe that it is dirty environments and body fluids that spreads illness, so everything there is kept pristine. Patients are kept separate, and they are very well tended. The doctors use magic as well as herbs to treat them Apr 26 17:45:45 * Morgan nods Apr 26 17:45:52 That makes sense I suppose Apr 26 17:46:20 * Molly nods Apr 26 17:47:10 Fascinating. They also take incredible care of pregnant women. They are incredibly knowledgeable about pregnancy, from conception to birth Apr 26 17:49:26 * Morgan nods Apr 26 17:49:33 That figures, given their views on children Apr 26 17:49:36 * Molly smiles, watching him Apr 26 17:51:12 I could spend a year here, learning from them, and I would still have more to learn. They have -drawings-, made of the tiny babies lost in pregnancy at various stages. From something so tragic, knowledge comes Apr 26 17:51:57 * Morgan nods Apr 26 17:52:09 Something comes from it at least Apr 26 17:55:18 * Molly nods Apr 26 17:56:07 I got to do some examinations, they have a special tape that measures the belly to determine if the child and mother grow well Apr 26 17:58:26 Oh? Apr 26 17:58:39 It is very clever. I even got to measure Princess Debah. They have visits with a doctor every three days in the last month. She is already due to deliver, and they say it could be before we leave Apr 26 17:59:14 That'd be useful for you Apr 26 17:59:22 * Molly nods Apr 26 18:00:58 I hope to see it, but we will see. We saw a few new babies, and then we were offered phallic devices for self-pleasure, then we went to the Red Tent. That was very interesting *she says it completely nonchalantly* Apr 26 18:08:22 One, phallic devices? Two... red tent? Apr 26 18:15:11 Leather things that look like *she waves a hand towards his crotch*. The Red Tent is a special place for women to go during their "moon time" Apr 26 18:15:38 Their moong time... Apr 26 18:17:53 Yes, during their course, if their husbands and children vex them, or if they just need a rest Apr 26 18:18:23 I see... Apr 26 18:18:34 * Molly smiles Apr 26 18:18:43 Inga thought it wonderful Apr 26 18:19:11 Oh? Apr 26 18:19:34 She can be a little short at that time Apr 26 18:19:42 * Morgan nods Apr 26 18:23:30 Then we had a brief look at our cargo and discussed the trade, and I came home a little while ago Apr 26 18:23:41 * Morgan nods Apr 26 18:23:53 How has the trade discussions progressed? Apr 26 18:25:57 Well. We will spend the day dealing with the sale of our cargo and the purchase of a return one tomorrow, after a hot stone massage Apr 26 18:26:22 A hot stone massage.... How do hot stones massage you? Apr 26 18:26:51 I have no idea *she giggles* Apr 26 18:28:06 * Morgan nods Apr 26 18:29:13 I will tell you tomorrow, hmm? Then the day after, you may give me a massage with your hot hands Apr 26 18:29:48 * Morgan nods Apr 26 18:29:56 Unless the princess gives birth... Apr 26 18:31:44 Then you'll have to finish quickly... *she smirks* Apr 26 18:32:41 * Morgan nods Apr 26 18:32:50 Everyone sends their love Apr 26 18:34:05 * Molly nods Apr 26 18:34:11 They're well? Apr 26 18:34:19 * Morgan nods Apr 26 18:34:59 Aye. Mina is writing to old acquaintances Apr 26 18:35:26 Is she? Apr 26 18:35:51 * Morgan nods Apr 26 18:36:09 Married acquaintances... Apr 26 18:37:19 * Molly smiles Apr 26 18:37:24 That is good Apr 26 18:38:07 * Morgan nods Apr 26 18:40:31 * Molly kisses his cheek Apr 26 18:41:01 And you, my love? Aside from missing me madly, what have you done today? Apr 26 18:42:42 Spoken to family... then went to Lamore and did some climbing... slipped a few times... some sharp rocks up there Apr 26 18:44:01 * Molly looks concerned Apr 26 18:44:06 You're hurt? Apr 26 18:44:26 Just a little cut, nothing much Apr 26 18:45:13 You have cleaned it out ready for me to heal? Apr 26 18:46:08 No, thank you Apr 26 18:48:08 You have not cleaned it? Apr 26 18:48:51 I wiped it off... Apr 26 18:50:24 * Molly looks at him Apr 26 18:50:39 Well enough that I will be satisfied with it? Apr 26 18:50:54 Probably... not... Apr 26 18:51:48 Hmmm... then either we will go to clean it, or you will need to give me a reason to tarry here a while... *she smiles* Apr 26 18:52:21 * Morgan chuckles Apr 26 18:53:42 Probably does need cleaning really... Apr 26 18:56:02 Mmhmm... and next time, you will remember to do so -before- it costs you some time pushing the bounds of decency with me, yes? *she gently strokes his chest* Apr 26 18:56:44 well... I just... hadn't thought about it Apr 26 18:57:52 * Molly smiles "well, in that case..." she gently kisses his lips, waves gently breaking on the sand Apr 26 19:00:15 * Morgan sighs happily Apr 26 19:01:24 * Molly does it again "this is the Capperlucia I dreamed of... you, the sun, the sand..." Apr 26 19:01:52 * Morgan nods Apr 26 19:02:50 Come on, lets get this cleaned Apr 26 19:03:54 * Molly does so, but as soon as Emil hears her voice he starts sobbing Apr 26 19:04:11 Apparently, I used to do that Apr 26 19:04:31 * Molly takes him from Inga "oh my poor boy... Did you, my love?" Apr 26 19:05:27 * Morgan nods Apr 26 19:06:18 * Morgan scratches at the bandage, watching Emil Apr 26 19:08:02 Inga, could you help my husband? His cut needs cleaning Apr 26 19:08:33 $note the tone of displeasure$ Apr 26 19:09:29 $someone getting spanked? Or are they not, and that's why she's cross?" Apr 26 19:10:53 $She is dismayed at my lack of foresight in cleaning the cut$ Apr 26 19:12:53 $told her you were busy celebrating your victory?$ Apr 26 19:13:17 $No, haven't mentioned it. SHe's been telling me about her day, I didn't want to interrupt$ Apr 26 19:14:29 *Inga helps him clean it whilst Molly feeds Emil* Apr 26 19:14:40 $fake cocks, man$ Apr 26 19:15:05 $Aye. Red tent sounds like a good idea$ Apr 26 19:15:38 $could have one at Hafenlohr. Claudia could live in it, she's always annoyed by us$ Apr 26 19:16:13 $I might have been thinking similar$ Apr 26 19:16:24 * Morgan looks down Apr 26 19:16:27 Reckon it'll scar? Apr 26 19:16:59 I: it might do Apr 26 19:17:27 * Morgan nods Apr 26 19:19:02 I: I'm sure Molly can deal with it Apr 26 19:19:12 No, thats not necessary Apr 26 19:19:32 I: But it might scar Apr 26 19:20:05 * Morgan nods Apr 26 19:20:11 It'll go nicely with my other warrior marks Apr 26 19:21:14 *Inga smiles, drying his arm Apr 26 19:21:56 * Molly is now known as Inga Apr 26 19:22:08 * Inga speaks quietly Apr 26 19:22:16 How was Heinzharold today? Apr 26 19:22:50 * Morgan nods Apr 26 19:23:12 fine... really helped, him and Tua'an looking after the boys while I spoke to my family... our... family... Apr 26 19:23:24 * Inga smiles Apr 26 19:23:48 He hasn't been complaining about my absence? Apr 26 19:24:28 A little less... he certainly missed you just as much Apr 26 19:25:20 I missed him too, but it's very interesting here Apr 26 19:25:26 * Morgan nods Apr 26 19:25:30 It sounds it... Apr 26 19:26:35 * Inga nods Apr 26 19:26:49 Molly liked speaking to the maternity doctors Apr 26 19:28:03 * Morgan nods Apr 26 19:28:18 I thought she might... its just the sort of thing she's interested in Apr 26 19:29:56 * Inga nods Apr 26 19:30:20 A woman would be very safe in her hands Apr 26 19:31:42 * Morgan nods Apr 26 19:31:46 Undoubtedly love Apr 26 19:32:52 * Inga smiles Apr 26 19:33:14 I'm glad she'll be there to deliver our babies Apr 26 19:34:24 * Morgan nods Apr 26 19:34:36 Me too Apr 26 19:36:00 * Inga adds a clean bandage before telling him he can go Apr 26 19:36:44 Thanky miss Inga Apr 26 19:36:52 * Morgan winks at her before going to make coffee Apr 26 19:37:41 * Inga is giggling. HH looks over Apr 26 19:37:57 $flirting with my wife, are you?$ Apr 26 19:38:27 $Might be$ Apr 26 19:39:15 *HH shrugs, smiling* Apr 26 19:40:16 * Morgan smirks, putting a cup of coffee in front of him Apr 26 19:40:52 *HH pats his arm. Varick looks sleepy* Apr 26 19:41:45 * Morgan strokes the boys brow Apr 26 19:41:48 You alright son? Apr 26 19:43:14 *Varick yawns* I'm ready for bed Apr 26 19:43:28 * Morgan nods Apr 26 19:43:33 Alright, say goodnight to everyone then Apr 26 19:45:26 *Varick does so. When they pass through Emil is also asleep, and so Molly follows them up. Varick gets ready for bed whilst Molly changes Emil* Apr 26 19:46:00 * Morgan waits for him to get changed Apr 26 19:46:05 Did you have fun with KaeLani? Apr 26 19:46:10 * Inga is now known as Molly Apr 26 19:46:28 V: Yes, she was really surprised when you got to the top! Apr 26 19:47:39 * Morgan nods Apr 26 19:48:51 I saw you climbing with her Apr 26 19:50:27 V: She is a good climber Apr 26 19:53:50 * Morgan nods Apr 26 19:53:52 So I saw Apr 26 19:55:52 *Varick yawns* Mama, will you sing me to sleep? Apr 26 19:57:01 * Molly puts Emil in the crib before sitting by Varick and singing. He stops her part way through to say "I like it better when you're at home with me" Apr 26 19:57:37 * Molly looks sad, stroking his hair "I know, Mauschen. It won't be forever" Apr 26 19:57:56 V: It feels like it. You can sing now Apr 26 19:58:20 * Molly does so, until the boy is asleep Apr 26 20:04:34 * Morgan watches them fondly Apr 26 20:05:13 * Molly gently kisses the boys' crowns before going Apr 26 20:07:44 * Morgan follows her out Apr 26 20:09:01 * Molly sighs, looking burdened before squaring her shoulders Apr 26 20:09:14 It must be done. It will be done Apr 26 20:09:51 * Morgan nods Apr 26 20:09:56 Its not for much longer love Apr 26 20:10:12 * Molly nods Apr 26 20:10:19 I know... Apr 26 20:14:24 It is just hard to hear from him Apr 26 20:14:28 * Morgan nods Apr 26 20:14:32 Heart wrenching Apr 26 20:16:46 * Molly nods, biting her lip Apr 26 20:17:16 And how Emil cries, how I can barely spend time nursing him... Apr 26 20:19:32 Don't fret at that... mother was telling me that I used to do that if she popped into the town for an hour Apr 26 20:19:50 * Molly nods, swallowing Apr 26 20:20:02 I know, I know... Apr 26 20:20:29 * Morgan wraps his arms around her Apr 26 20:20:35 Its fine love... Apr 26 20:21:05 * Molly holds him tight Apr 26 20:21:48 I feel awful that I enjoy my work, and yet my family is missing me Apr 26 20:23:07 Would it be easier if you didn't enjoy your work? Apr 26 20:23:15 Yes Apr 26 20:23:42 Really? You'd still have to be out for so long each day, with not even the fact you enjoy it to help the day pass Apr 26 20:25:07 But it would be duty, a sacrifice Apr 26 20:25:35 It still is a duty and a sacrifice Apr 26 20:26:06 I suppose so Apr 26 20:27:52 * Morgan nods Apr 26 20:28:25 We'll be here for when you get back tomorrow, so you can spend more time with them before bed Apr 26 20:29:10 Oh my love, I am not blaming -you- Apr 26 20:30:32 I know... Apr 26 20:31:13 * Molly squeezes him a little Apr 26 20:31:25 Come, tell me of your success? Apr 26 20:33:04 * Morgan nods Apr 26 20:34:06 Come on, lets get settled with some food and a drink and I'll tell you about it Apr 26 20:34:23 * Molly nods "thank you, my love" Apr 26 20:38:13 * Morgan takes her downstairs, getting her seated with food and drink before settling beside her Apr 26 20:39:08 [I could not do what I need to do here without you to care for the children and keep things well] Apr 26 20:40:20 [You give me too much credit] Apr 26 20:42:09 [No, I do not] Apr 26 20:42:32 [HeinzHarold does much, and Tua'an is very helpful] Apr 26 20:42:51 [it is not the same. They do not give me what you do] Apr 26 20:43:11 [No, I know. That is part of my duty] Apr 26 20:44:16 [to support me?] Apr 26 20:44:52 [yes] Apr 26 20:46:10 [i appreciate it nonetheless] Apr 26 20:46:52 *the servants gone, it's just the four of them. The dinner is nice, the room relaxed* Apr 26 20:47:27 HH: whatcha reckon, man, they got some sorta dolls here to replace our cuddlin' too? Apr 26 20:48:59 * Morgan shrugs Apr 26 20:49:02 maybe Apr 26 20:50:34 HH: Not sure I like what it says 'bout what they think of my prowess Apr 26 20:52:24 Feeling a bit insecure man? Apr 26 20:53:45 *HH looks at Inga, smirking* were y' tempted, lil darlin? Apr 26 20:54:08 *Inga smiles* I wouldn't want to downside Apr 26 20:54:14 Downsize* Apr 26 20:54:20 * Morgan snorts, laughing Apr 26 20:54:28 * Molly giggles Apr 26 20:56:02 It was really quite embarrassing Apr 26 20:56:41 Oh? Apr 26 20:57:41 They are so casual about it. It's like a medical treatment Apr 26 20:58:15 *Inga giggles, looking at Morgan* if your main symptom is being too hot! Apr 26 20:58:32 * Morgan laughs Apr 26 20:58:42 HH: Diagnose me! I've always been too 'ot Apr 26 21:00:19 * Molly gives Morgan a look of mischief "it does sound like Heinzharold needs one of those things... a Fa'atoga, they call it" Apr 26 21:01:01 Sounds like it, yeah... Apr 26 21:01:29 HH: Not got anywhere t' put it Apr 26 21:01:53 * Morgan sniggers Apr 26 21:03:35 HH: *he points at Morgan* Told you before, that's an exit only Apr 26 21:03:59 So you said Apr 26 21:06:08 * Molly touches her leg to Morgan's beneath the table Apr 26 21:06:33 [oh but when it is an entrance, it is so very welcoming] Apr 26 21:07:28 * Morgan smirks slightly Apr 26 21:09:17 HH: Told th' ladies bout you getting your leg over earlier? Apr 26 21:09:29 * Molly frowns a little Apr 26 21:10:09 That isn't an image I like, thank you! Apr 26 21:11:08 * Morgan sighs Apr 26 21:11:11 Well done dickhead Apr 26 21:11:30 * Molly smiles Apr 26 21:11:59 Not to worry. I'd like to hear about your climbing, my love Apr 26 21:12:48 Couldn't get up that big wall so I climbed a smaller one... Apr 26 21:13:06 Was that enjoyable? Apr 26 21:13:41 * Morgan shrugs Apr 26 21:13:46 It was but... it was easy Apr 26 21:15:14 * Molly nods Apr 26 21:15:43 Of course Apr 26 21:16:29 Varick gave me a little talk about believing in me and how I need to keep trying so I tried it once more Apr 26 21:16:42 * Molly smiles Apr 26 21:16:47 That worked? Apr 26 21:17:09 It was very difficult, and I slipped and cut my arm but... I got to the top Apr 26 21:18:38 * Molly smiles before kissing him Apr 26 21:18:58 Good, I would imagine that feels wonderful Apr 26 21:19:20 * Morgan nods Apr 26 21:19:50 Third person to best that wall... Apr 26 21:20:36 * Molly smiles Apr 26 21:20:51 That is fantastic. I am proud of you, my love Apr 26 21:21:02 * Morgan looks a bit bashful as he thanks her Apr 26 21:21:10 Varick says I have to do it again so you can see Apr 26 21:22:15 * Molly watches him a long moment before she smiles "do you wish to? I'd be happy to come with you" Apr 26 21:22:44 I don't think its doable. Noones ever climbed it twice Apr 26 21:23:53 * Molly smiles "it is -improbable-... but for you, that is oft achievable" Apr 26 21:24:11 * Morgan looks skeptical Apr 26 21:24:55 I doubt it Apr 26 21:25:41 If there's time on Thursday...? Apr 26 21:25:55 If you like, I'll try... Apr 26 21:26:30 * Molly smiles Apr 26 21:26:45 I would like Apr 26 21:27:09 HH: jus' wants t' see you shirtless an' sweaty, man Apr 26 21:27:57 No accountin' for taste Apr 26 21:28:55 HH: yep Apr 26 21:32:45 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Apr 26 21:34:18 Now you will not need to leave me at Hafenlohr for your wall, hmm? Apr 26 21:34:26 No... I won't Apr 26 21:35:59 That is pleasing Apr 26 21:36:06 * Morgan nods Apr 26 21:36:17 Mother is concerned that I am considering not going home Apr 26 21:37:13 * Molly smiles Apr 26 21:37:26 You will, it is too hot here Apr 26 21:37:39 * Morgan nods Apr 26 21:37:40 quite Apr 26 21:38:36 I: And also Molly can't make babies by herself! Apr 26 21:41:20 There is that Apr 26 21:42:19 HH: Capperlucia got tools t' help y' try though! Apr 26 21:43:17 * Morgan nods Apr 26 21:43:20 Made of rubber... Apr 26 21:44:45 I: it was leather. They shape it on a mold and then cut and stitch it. Then they rub warm oils into it to make it supple Apr 26 21:45:19 HH: *he nods* warm oil... that's more like it... Apr 26 21:45:41 I doubt they have any other type of oil here... Apr 26 21:45:56 * Molly smiles Apr 26 21:46:27 Oh that would be nice... a back rub in the sunshine but with a chilled oil... Apr 26 21:47:11 HH: Guess we know what's happening Thursday then! Apr 26 21:47:34 Sounds like it doesn't it... Apr 26 21:48:36 Oh! I wasn't asking, my love! Apr 26 21:49:09 [besides, we know what happens once you start massaging my bottom and thighs!] Apr 26 21:50:52 [we do indeed, and that does not help babies be made either] Apr 26 21:51:31 * Molly fidgets a little Apr 26 21:51:57 [it is still winter... there are no babies to be made now...] Apr 26 21:52:08 [true] Apr 26 21:52:11 * Morgan frowns Apr 26 21:53:07 I: will you deal with the draw early? Apr 26 21:54:01 I imagine so, yes Apr 26 21:55:09 *Inga looks relieved* Apr 26 21:57:38 * Morgan sighs quietly Apr 26 21:58:32 * Molly presses her leg to his as they finish the food Apr 26 21:59:17 I think I will retire and do the last feed, I'm tired. Goodnight to you all Apr 26 21:59:29 I'll be up in a minute love Apr 26 21:59:48 *Inga and HH say goodnight, and Molly goes up* Apr 26 22:07:23 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Apr 26 22:10:35 * Molly has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
