**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed May 3 00:00:57 2023 May 03 00:00:57 *she looks right at them a moment. He sees that same intelligence as with the Drachen in Graben* May 03 00:02:04 * Morgan tilts his head before taking a step forward and sitting down May 03 00:03:06 *She looks at him curiously, moving slowly towards him* May 03 00:03:45 * HH mutters "if she eats you, yer wife is gon' skin me alive$ May 03 00:04:14 $And then you can be fed to her too. Make sure no-one freaks out will you? Don't want them startling her$ May 03 00:05:22 * Morgan fidgets into sitting crosslegged, arms resting palm up on his legs, a completely unthreatening position, watching the dragon May 03 00:05:55 $you and me, reunited in death in a Dragon's belly. Sounds about right$ May 03 00:06:22 * Morgan smiles briefly May 03 00:07:07 * HH moves to the nearest group of people, meanwhile UliUli comes closer, twenty feet away May 03 00:07:53 * Morgan sits still, making no move, making sure to keep his gaze interested but not challenging May 03 00:08:25 *she closes the distance slowly, not threatening nor fearful* May 03 00:09:24 Alright lass... I'm not going to move, you come have a look... don't eat me though, yeah? May 03 00:12:41 *she comes to six feet from him. She's about the same size as the Drachen, nine or ten feet to the shoulder. So close her scales are almost mesmerisingly iridescent, but they look softer than solid plate, more like the flexibility of fingernails* May 03 00:13:40 * Morgan looks up at her, slowly raising one palm up from his lap, holding it out flat May 03 00:13:54 Look at you... you're incredible May 03 00:14:18 * HH is now known as UliUli May 03 00:15:30 * UliUli sniffs his hand. Her breath, like that of the Drachen, smells of whatever now is most calming. May 03 00:16:20 * Morgan looks closely at the scales, smiling slightly as he breathes in deeply May 03 00:17:41 * UliUli sniffs his crown. The scales about three inches and petal shaped, overlapping May 03 00:19:46 * Morgan closes his eyes briefly, slowly moving his hand so its close to the scales May 03 00:20:50 *he does hear a few gasps from over by Heinzharold. She keeps doing what she was doing* May 03 00:21:23 * Morgan very gently puts his hand against her May 03 00:23:39 *the scales feel cool, cooler than anything black should feel in these exotic, sunny lands. They also quite smooth. She either doesn't notice or doesn't mind* May 03 00:24:39 * Morgan doesn't move further, not wanting to push his luck, but stays where he is May 03 00:25:05 You can see the changes in me, huh... May 03 00:25:49 * UliUli sniffs his head again, where Tina Atu'a Fafine had kissed his crown in his dream May 03 00:26:17 Oh, yeah... your mama came to call... I really wasn't ready for all that meant May 03 00:28:19 * UliUli moves back enough that she can bring her head down to look at him eye to eye May 03 00:29:36 * Morgan keeps eye contact, not shying away from it, trying to look curious May 03 00:29:50 If I'd realised you wanted to do that, I'd have stayed stood up May 03 00:31:52 * UliUli watches him a moment before turning her head away to her side, the side not visible to the others May 03 00:32:57 * Morgan watches her, tilting his head to see better May 03 00:33:31 * UliUli pulls a scale out with her mouth, then drops it in his lap May 03 00:34:14 * Morgan puts his hand to it, watching her, lowering his head slowly in an almost-bow May 03 00:34:51 * UliUli watches him a moment before slowly turning away May 03 00:35:21 * Morgan waits for her to have moved a decent distance away before slowly standing up May 03 00:36:01 * UliUli goes to the body, gently picking it up in her mouth May 03 00:36:38 * Morgan discreetly tucks the scale into his pocket, slowly moving toward HeinzHarold May 03 00:37:55 *there's the suddenly flap of wings as she launches up, the effect of the movement of air strong, almost staggering May 03 00:38:29 * Morgan staggers a little, watching her climb May 03 00:38:57 * UliUli does so, higher and higher into the sky May 03 00:39:26 * Morgan takes a deep breath, letting it out slowly, heading back to HeinzHarold May 03 00:39:40 *A local man stood with HH is crying* M: He's taking her soul to Tina Atu'a Fafine! May 03 00:40:15 * Morgan watches the man for a moment, looking torn before approaching him May 03 00:40:34 * UliUli is now known as HH May 03 00:41:08 *The man watches the dragon as she pauses in the air, sighing deeply* May 03 00:41:34 * Morgan turns to watch the dragon, moving next to the man May 03 00:42:40 *UliUli swoops back down over the island, no sign of the body anymore* May 03 00:43:06 It is someone dear to you? May 03 00:43:30 M: My Mother. She is with the All Mother now May 03 00:44:14 * Morgan nods May 03 00:44:28 I'm very sorry for your loss. May 03 00:45:18 M: *he nods, smiling a little* thank you May 03 00:46:10 * Morgan nods, going to HeinzHarold May 03 00:47:21 * HH watches him May 03 00:47:26 You okay? May 03 00:47:31 * Morgan speaks quietly May 03 00:47:54 That was... intense May 03 00:48:04 * HH nods May 03 00:48:18 Thought you mighta shit yer breeches May 03 00:48:43 I don't -think- I have... but at this point it wouldn't surprise me May 03 00:48:48 * HH nods May 03 00:49:30 I was clenchin' pretty tight, jus' to be safe. Ain't as easy t' hide in a skirt, it'd jus' drop out May 03 00:49:44 No pockets either May 03 00:50:29 What, t' carry it 'ome in? May 03 00:50:48 $show you later$ May 03 00:51:06 * HH looks around May 03 00:51:08 I have reached two conclusions. May 03 00:51:21 * HH grins May 03 00:52:09 One, I'm a lot sexier'an you, two, my wife's bubbies when she nurses are gon' be bigger than her head? May 03 00:52:48 Both true, but I'd already reached that... one, they're related to drachens... closely. Two... that balm I've got is drachen snot May 03 00:53:00 * HH laughs May 03 00:53:08 Are you shittin' me?! May 03 00:53:32 Their breath, man, it smells -exactly- the same as the balm, with the same effect... May 03 00:54:07 We rub that on our faces... grim. May 03 00:54:46 * Morgan nods, taking a deep breath May 03 00:55:11 I get the feeling that was not a normal occurance May 03 00:55:17 *the sailors call for people to return to the boat May 03 00:55:25 Is it ever with you?! May 03 00:55:50 * Morgan starts heading back to the boat May 03 00:56:11 Probably for about twenty minutes before I got baptised in water from the Sudlache May 03 00:56:53 * HH nods, an arm round his shoulder May 03 00:57:23 Reck'n they got any people food? Like, food for people, not people who are food? May 03 00:57:47 I'm not convinced thats what happens, y'know... May 03 00:58:09 No? May 03 00:58:21 No... May 03 00:59:20 Whatcha reckon? May 03 01:00:02 When my dog picks up its food, it doesn't do it that gently... no animal does. May 03 01:00:59 Yeah May 03 01:01:21 That dragon was -awfully- gentle May 03 01:01:32 Yeah, she was May 03 01:02:35 * Morgan nods, climbing into the boat May 03 01:03:20 * HH goes with him, sitting down May 03 01:03:36 $this place only gets weirder$ May 03 01:04:06 $Yeah$ May 03 01:05:54 Last night in th' house tonight May 03 01:07:25 * Morgan nods May 03 01:07:26 aye May 03 01:08:01 Feast tomorrow night, may as well stay on th' Rose May 03 01:09:46 * Morgan nods May 03 01:09:49 I suppose so May 03 01:10:31 Then Monday morning, yer Captain Morgan for a month May 03 01:10:45 * Morgan nods May 03 01:10:53 Yeah... May 03 01:12:18 Gon' be exciting times May 03 01:12:26 * Morgan nods May 03 01:12:31 I'm a bit nervous May 03 01:13:42 Wouldn' be you if y' weren't! *the ship sets off again, people talking to the guide quietly* May 03 01:15:08 * Morgan watches the people talking to the guide May 03 01:15:18 You think I've caused some sort of problem there? May 03 01:15:53 Nope, but I reck'n noones gon' remember you climbed the wall twice May 03 01:16:15 Pity. May 03 01:17:40 * HH nods May 03 01:17:49 Must suck to be so great, man May 03 01:18:15 I'll be remembered for a dragon choosing not to eat me, not because of something I achieved man May 03 01:19:41 * HH laughs May 03 01:20:12 Yeah, sounds just like th' sorta shit that happens to you. So what's the deal with Sweary Bird? May 03 01:20:36 We were having sex, and it clearly overheard us because it shouts fuck from the doorway May 03 01:21:02 * HH laughs hard May 03 01:21:12 Whilst you were still at it?! May 03 01:21:16 * Morgan nods May 03 01:21:51 Oh man, I'da been laughing too hard to go on May 03 01:22:44 She was sparkly so it sort of made no odds May 03 01:23:27 Not much can put y' off with that goin' on, I guess May 03 01:23:41 Not really May 03 01:25:44 * HH chuckles "should probably shut th' upstairs shutters when we're out, save the buggers gettin' up there" May 03 01:26:04 Yeah, wouldn't want them hearing anything up there either... May 03 01:27:01 Eh? May 03 01:28:50 My hearings really good man... and your wife wasn't quick enough to bite her arm May 03 01:29:46 Damn. Varick hear? May 03 01:30:33 No, man, no-one but me May 03 01:31:32 Well then... can't complain too much, she always sounds great May 03 01:32:02 * Morgan smiles, watching the people talking to the guide carefully May 03 01:33:08 Besides, in Jura, there'll be plenty o' noises like tha' upstairs May 03 01:34:55 * Morgan nods May 03 01:35:00 yeah May 03 01:35:48 * HH leans back against the side o' the boat May 03 01:36:12 Wonder what our wives are doin'... must be nearly one by now May 03 01:36:30 Holding a baby maybe? May 03 01:38:08 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) May 03 01:50:07 * HH has quit (Ping Timeout) May 03 02:19:43 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 03 02:21:33 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) May 03 08:32:47 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 03 11:10:58 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 03 11:15:32 * MollyK is now known as HH May 03 11:16:57 * HH nods. The trip back to the main island and then rowed back to the House takes a while. When they get back to the house, there's no sign of them May 03 11:17:49 * Morgan tries to get a read on her direction May 03 11:19:26 *she's in town* May 03 11:19:40 * HH brings him a folded note May 03 11:19:51 Got yer name on th' front May 03 11:20:46 * Morgan takes it, opening it May 03 11:27:35 "Lunchtime. The baby was born not long ago, it was a very beautiful delivery. She is, of course, gorgeous. We will be having lunch and quiet hour at the ship, and then I will be seeing Betuana a little while. Claudia thinks you are due to see Brun and Sorgi this afternoon? My thoughts will be of you. My love, MK xx" May 03 11:28:12 * Morgan hands it to HeinzHarold May 03 11:28:24 I've gotta go deal with something. You staying here? May 03 11:31:08 Not much t' do on m' own May 03 11:32:40 * Morgan nods, getting a few things to eat on the way May 03 11:34:35 *they're about half way when they hear "fuck!" from the trees* May 03 11:34:42 * HH sniggers May 03 11:36:20 Ah man... gonn' have to get Varick to deal with that May 03 11:38:22 "Hey, kid, tell that bird not to say fuck" "but what does fuck mean, Vati?" May 03 11:38:40 Yeah, I know, I know... I'm still working on that May 03 11:39:42 "Vati, why does that bird know a rude word?" "Well son, sometimes when you are going to plant the seed, you have to dig the ground really hard...." May 03 11:40:06 I'm not sure thats any better May 03 11:43:01 Nope May 03 11:47:23 What y' gotta do? May 03 11:47:55 Crew management issue... one of them wants to stay May 03 11:49:14 Only one? Bit hot, but aside from tha', this place is pretty good May 03 11:50:10 One so far... I'm hoping he'll be the only one May 03 11:52:29 Not gon' let him stay though, right? May 03 11:54:11 Thinking about it May 03 11:56:23 What about when th' rest wanna stay too? May 03 11:58:31 Its a problem, certainly... but... I suspect the lack of easy access to womenfolk would put them off May 03 11:59:00 * HH nods May 03 11:59:28 Yeah, that's do it May 03 11:59:35 * Morgan nods May 03 11:59:39 exactly May 03 12:02:00 He's gon' give that up to live here? May 03 12:03:04 Apparently thats something he's willing to do May 03 12:04:05 I couldn't, I'd miss my bubbies too much May 03 12:06:00 * Morgan nods May 03 12:06:04 aye May 03 12:08:14 * HH wanders along, looking very comfortable in Capperlucian clothes. Like Claudia, he's also developing a tan May 03 12:08:26 Pretty weird on Dragon Island, Huh? May 03 12:08:53 Weird? May 03 12:11:28 She was sniffin' you. I've done tha' before, it's not pleasant May 03 12:12:00 * Morgan pulls the scale from his pocket, turning it over a few times before handing it over May 03 12:12:02 She gave me that May 03 12:14:19 * HH looks at it. It's light, a little flexible, black with the colourful sheen. He holds it up to the light, making it shine May 03 12:14:26 That's fuckin' amazing May 03 12:14:47 * Morgan nods May 03 12:17:25 * HH hands it back May 03 12:17:34 * Morgan tucks it back in his pocket May 03 12:17:46 Did wonder if mebbie she'd eat ya though May 03 12:18:21 I was -fairly- confident she wouldn't... you don't look at something you want to eat like that... and I still don't think they eat the dead May 03 12:23:17 What do they do, leave 'em in the sky? May 03 12:23:48 I dunno, some sort of magic maybe May 03 12:25:39 * HH shrugs May 03 12:25:41 Mebbie May 03 12:25:53 * Morgan shrugs May 03 12:25:57 No idea May 03 12:27:27 We goin' to the Rose? May 03 12:27:44 * Morgan nods May 03 12:27:47 Thats where the crew is May 03 12:30:52 That where th' wives are, or was it just smut? May 03 12:31:22 They might still be there May 03 12:34:04 * HH smiles May 03 12:34:09 Hope so May 03 12:34:19 * Morgan nods May 03 12:38:25 * HH is quick to get a good hold of his wife when they get to the study, grabbing her ass once he has angled her so Varick can't see. Molly is sat on the couch, Emil propped on a cushion so he can feed whilst she knits May 03 12:38:29 * HH is now known as Molly May 03 12:38:43 * Molly smiles warmly "Good afternoon, my love" May 03 12:39:19 * Morgan goes to her, kissing her before sitting beside her May 03 12:42:41 * Molly leans her cheek to his arm. Emil looks up at him with a smile from the opposite side before gently kicking at him. Varick comes to sit on Morgan's lap too May 03 12:43:04 * Morgan tickles Emil's foot, wrapping his other arm around Varick May 03 12:43:06 V: Vati, I saw the baby come out! May 03 12:43:15 Did you? May 03 12:43:20 * Molly smiles "Out of the water..." May 03 12:43:36 * Morgan nods May 03 12:44:52 V: everyone was singing to help the baby come, and then the baby was in the water, and the daddy lifted her out. she was still tied on, so he used a sharp stone to cut the string May 03 12:47:14 A stone? May 03 12:50:51 * Molly smiles May 03 12:51:38 It's a tradition that the cut it with what looks like sharp flint May 03 12:51:55 * Morgan nods May 03 12:55:06 V: She was very small and looked slippery, but he didn't drop her May 03 12:55:20 * Morgan nods May 03 12:55:25 Thats good, you never want to do that May 03 12:58:53 V: I think it hurt her a bit, but she was smiling May 03 12:59:11 * Morgan nods May 03 12:59:16 That makes sense I suppose May 03 13:02:09 It is just something that does cause some pain, Mauschen, but it is only temporary May 03 13:02:45 V: Is that because Eve ate the apple? May 03 13:03:11 No, lad, its not some sort of punishment for it... May 03 13:06:37 * Molly looks at Emil, smiling a little May 03 13:07:06 V: Oh, I thought that's what the Holy Book says May 03 13:08:23 Mauschen, it affects animals too. They feel discomfort also May 03 13:08:58 [I wonder how much to tell him... but, he isn't really wrong about the Holy Book...] May 03 13:11:20 [That book was written by men, so will have their own intentions woven into it] May 03 13:11:49 *HH comes over, looking at Varick* Did she have th' babe in the sea then? May 03 13:12:29 [mmm... I believe it is something like “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he shall rule over you.”] May 03 13:13:12 [There we go then. We have a little problem that I'll need Varicks help to fix but... I'm not sure how to go about guiding him to do it] May 03 13:14:25 V: No, in a big tub of water, and they tipped in water on her to keep it like a bath, and they shaved the daddy's chest ready to nurse May 03 13:14:41 [oh?] May 03 13:15:15 I: It did seem to be good for the pains May 03 13:15:39 [there's a bird wandering about shouting fuck at people in Eisen] May 03 13:18:20 Be worth remembering for the future... May 03 13:19:33 V: Inga, are you going to have a baby in a tub? May 03 13:19:53 *Inga smiles* No, I don't think so May 03 13:20:15 [oh dear. How on Theah can we stop it?!] May 03 13:24:17 [Varick is the only one I can think of who could...] May 03 13:24:29 Could make it nice and warm... May 03 13:28:41 [I can numb pain that runs up the spine too, but I think that would make it harder to push] May 03 13:29:07 I: I wouldn't want all the people watching! May 03 13:29:26 * Molly smiles "it was easily two hundred people" May 03 13:31:07 Well, no, but... I mean, if it makes the birth easier... May 03 13:33:10 *Inga smiles* thank you May 03 13:36:29 V: I would sing to your baby so she would come out May 03 13:37:38 [seems a bit strange, gathering for a singsong] May 03 13:38:53 [it was actually very beautiful, you could feel the outpouring of love and support for her] May 03 13:39:43 [you are going to petition Betuana to let Brun stay later?] May 03 13:42:41 [Claudia said you wished to speak to him and Sorgi, so I was going to wait until I knew your wishes] May 03 13:43:26 [Start laying the groundwork for it, please] May 03 13:46:47 [Alright. I will have to go soon] May 03 13:47:07 * Molly switches Emil to the other breast, and he watches up at Morgan May 03 13:49:25 [Are you leaving the boys behind this time?] May 03 13:49:39 * Morgan smiles, leaning down to kiss Emil's forehead May 03 13:50:08 Varick... do you want to see something amazing? May 03 13:51:55 [are you hoping I say yes, my love? May 03 13:52:03 *Varick nods* May 03 13:55:42 [I'm just wondering, though it'd make dealing with Brun and Sorgi easier] May 03 13:55:48 * Morgan fishes the scale from his pocket May 03 13:56:48 Have a look at this May 03 13:59:24 [heinzharold and Inga will help I imagine] May 03 13:59:33 * Molly is now known as Varick May 03 13:59:53 [you're not taking Inga?] May 03 14:00:07 * Varick takes it, looking it over before holding it to his eye May 03 14:00:40 [no, I want her to be here with him. She's missed him, and it has made her very broody] May 03 14:00:58 [alright, that'll make it easier] May 03 14:05:44 [not for Inga!] *she smiles a little* May 03 14:05:56 What is it? May 03 14:05:59 [Good point] May 03 14:06:03 Its a dragons scale May 03 14:11:14 [it's made her yearning and wistful and maternal ... it makes me wish to do the thing that starts the process!] May 03 14:11:26 * Varick looks at it May 03 14:11:41 Is it from Takaro UliUli? May 03 14:11:53 * Morgan nods May 03 14:12:32 [they can't do that if they're helping with the boys, and after this morning] May 03 14:12:36 Yes, it is May 03 14:16:42 [no, I'd imagine he needs to recoup that and his night with Brumhilde!] May 03 14:16:55 [quite] May 03 14:16:56 Wow! How did you get it?! May 03 14:17:13 [I must admit I laughed very hard] May 03 14:17:43 It rather fell into my lap May 03 14:18:20 [aye, so did I] May 03 14:20:36 From the sky? May 03 14:20:49 [I can just imagine his poor face!] May 03 14:21:14 No, on the beach May 03 14:21:26 [I've been actively avoiding doing so] May 03 14:22:56 Did you see her fly? May 03 14:23:36 * Morgan nods May 03 14:23:38 Oh yes May 03 14:23:43 [perhaps imagine my frustrated expression if you ruined my pleasure that way instead?] May 03 14:23:52 Was it fast? May 03 14:23:59 [Might do that later, yes] May 03 14:24:06 Very... and very graceful May 03 14:24:23 Was she far away? May 03 14:25:18 She came out onto the beach before she flew, so... it was quite close. May 03 14:28:34 $pretty much sat on yer lap like he is!$ May 03 14:29:05 M: *she sits Emil up* You went to Motu UliUli then? May 03 14:29:52 $Don't want him to be upset that he missed it$ May 03 14:30:14 Yeah.. the guide rather enjoyed having us along so she could actually tell us something we didn't already know May 03 14:32:13 *this makes the non-attendees laugh, and Emil chuckles too because they're laughing* May 03 14:32:26 M: Did you learn anything interesting? May 03 14:34:38 She was telling us about how Tina Atu'a Fafine created the world, then Capperlucia for herself, then she raised the dragons, and when they started squabbling she gave them an island each... and that every five hundred years, one of them flies off and is replaced by another May 03 14:36:28 V: do they go to make babies? May 03 14:36:39 No-one knows May 03 14:39:33 M: I wonder where they go May 03 14:40:13 * Morgan shrugs May 03 14:40:20 The guide didn't know May 03 14:42:49 Look, Emil, dragon scale! May 03 14:43:06 E: *he does look at it* bah? May 03 14:43:31 * Morgan smiles May 03 14:43:32 Maybe May 03 14:46:04 *emil reaches for it* May 03 14:46:16 I: I think his new name suits him May 03 14:46:53 * Morgan nods May 03 14:46:57 I think so too May 03 14:49:48 [should I make mention of Uinise too?] May 03 14:50:07 [yes, please] May 03 14:51:30 *Molly hands him Emil* Alright, I need to go back to the palace. I will be back soon, but if you wish to go back to the house I will follow later May 03 14:52:17 * Morgan nods, gently replacing the scale with a rattle in Emil's hands May 03 14:52:22 I reckon we'll probably hang on here May 03 14:53:44 *Molly kisses him* alright May 03 14:54:27 *She then kisses both boys* May 03 14:56:27 Have they had a nap? May 03 14:57:22 *Molly nods* we all did, on our bed. It was nice May 03 14:57:29 * Morgan nods May 03 14:57:30 alright May 03 14:59:36 *Molly goes, and Emil immediately starts crying for her* May 03 14:59:44 * Morgan bounces him May 03 14:59:49 [damn. Should I come back for him?] May 03 14:59:51 Its alright, she'll be back soon May 03 15:00:00 [no. We'll be alright May 03 15:02:46 V: I don't cry when she goes May 03 15:04:17 No, because you're bigger and understand she's coming back May 03 15:04:23 $and aren't quite as manipulative$ May 03 15:06:14 $He's just a baby, man$ May 03 15:06:44 $Is he? I thought he was 45$ May 03 15:06:51 * Morgan bounces Emil May 03 15:07:29 * Varick nods May 03 15:07:48 We're going home soon May 03 15:08:47 * Morgan nods May 03 15:08:57 Yes we are... tonights the last night we'll stay in the house May 03 15:10:57 We won't have a beach at Hafenlohr May 03 15:11:29 No, we won't... we'll have a lake though May 03 15:12:56 Can we play on the beach now? May 03 15:15:08 * Morgan looks to HeinzHarold May 03 15:15:19 Would you two mind taking them? I've got a couple of things to deal with May 03 15:16:20 *HH nods* No problem May 03 15:16:46 $any excuse to see this beautiful woman lying down in the sunshine$ May 03 15:16:58 * Morgan nods, handing Emil over May 03 15:17:07 Right, go play, I'll be out as soon as I can May 03 15:19:51 * Varick goes with them. HH looks pretty confident at handling the baby after the extra time of the men being in charge of the kids, and it suits him. Inga is busy watching his bare back with Emil looking over his shoulder, and forgets to move with them May 03 15:20:23 Soon, love. May 03 15:22:25 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) May 03 15:23:53 * Varick has quit (Read error: EOF from client) May 03 15:41:15 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 03 15:55:31 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 03 15:55:55 *Inga nods, whispering* I know. But he's so gorgeous May 03 15:56:17 * Morgan nods May 03 15:56:20 Sickening isn't it May 03 15:56:38 *Inga nods* I'm very lucky May 03 15:57:38 So's he May 03 15:59:30 *Inga hugs him quickly. There's no visible bite marks on her arms* May 03 16:00:13 * Morgan squeezes her briefly May 03 16:00:21 Go on, go enjoy time in the sun with him May 03 16:00:57 *inga goes too* May 03 16:01:26 * Morgan takes a few moments to himself before going to find Sorgi May 03 16:03:47 * MollyK is now known as Sorgi May 03 16:04:00 * Sorgi is next door May 03 16:04:51 * Morgan knocks May 03 16:06:04 Come in May 03 16:07:01 * Morgan goes inside, closing the door May 03 16:07:07 You wanted to see me captain May 03 16:07:39 * Sorgi nods, offering him a seat and coffee May 03 16:07:50 * Morgan accepts both May 03 16:09:17 * Sorgi gets this done before saying May 03 16:09:24 It's about Brun, m'lord May 03 16:09:59 Claudia mentioned there was an issue May 03 16:11:53 He wants to live in Capperlucia May 03 16:12:24 * Morgan nods May 03 16:12:28 I see May 03 16:13:08 I said I would speak with you on his behalf May 03 16:13:27 You wish to allow it? May 03 16:14:22 His desire to seems heartfelt, but I cannot foresee the country wanting immigrants May 03 16:15:23 I see May 03 16:16:17 Can we stand to lose him? May 03 16:17:55 * Sorgi nods May 03 16:18:12 We could May 03 16:18:41 Its not ideal May 03 16:19:47 No May 03 16:20:29 * Morgan nods, sipping the coffee May 03 16:22:00 I will follow your wishes May 03 16:22:20 * Morgan nods May 03 16:22:27 My first responsibility? May 03 16:22:41 * Sorgi nods May 03 16:23:44 * Morgan nods May 03 16:23:51 alright. Leave it with me, I'll let you know the outcome May 03 16:24:10 * Sorgi nods May 03 16:24:47 What do you make of the faith here... May 03 16:25:24 I haven't heard much about it, though I know there are no churches for us for tomorrow May 03 16:25:41 * Morgan nods May 03 16:25:50 Not the first time we've had to make do, as sailors May 03 16:27:01 * Sorgi shakes his head "no it isn't, m'lord" May 03 16:29:03 * Morgan glances at him May 03 16:29:24 I... wonder... if you'd assist me with an issue I'm having with my faith... May 03 16:30:30 If I can, m'lord May 03 16:32:41 Their faith here... its a very personal relationship with their... goddess I suppose you'd call her. The lands are verdant, there's no war, the people are safe... May 03 16:34:32 * Sorgi nods May 03 16:34:34 Yes? May 03 16:36:28 Look at Eisen... the war, the suffering, the famine, the hunger... how could a just and loving god ever allow that? Which has raised an ugly possibility... May 03 16:37:11 * Sorgi sips his coffee May 03 16:37:13 Go on May 03 16:38:15 That He either -cannot- do anything about it... or he doesn't care enough to. May 03 16:40:53 Or alternatively, that these things are part of what we go through and experience that helps us to grow in the depths of our faith May 03 16:42:25 I hear that a lot. The faith of the people here seems a lot deeper than an awful lot of our countrymen... and I don't know about you, but -I- wouldn't make my children suffer so horribly in the hopes they believe in me more. May 03 16:46:50 I don't claim to understand the reasoning of the almighty. On the face of it, I appreciate what you are saying. The world can be very cruel. It was to the son of Our Lord when he came to Theah and was eventually put to death. May 03 16:49:16 Why allow it when he could make it better? May 03 16:53:57 What happens if He does that? The starvation in Eisen is the after-effect of the War. If he eradicates that, what dissuades people from having another War, which kills even more than the lack of food does? May 03 16:54:38 A war that was had over how he is worshipped... May 03 16:56:09 If Theus stepped in on every occassion anyone was going to seriously error, there would be chaos. We as people would lose all sense of free will and autonomy, in the same way that if you are an extremely cautious parent you deprive the child of learning from experience May 03 16:58:04 Seems to work here... May 03 16:58:45 That assumes that the good things here come from their "Goddess", and not through other measures May 03 17:01:17 Lets assume May 03 17:04:36 The population of the island is less than five thousand. It is less than fifty square miles. Followers of Theus, in my church and yours, must be in the millions, across millions of square miles. Now imagine all actions might have consequences that reach years into the future, and you have to decide to intervene in millions of interactions every day May 03 17:05:24 I thought it was all to His plan... May 03 17:09:48 * Sorgi smiles "I'm not much of a theologian. We're certainly taught it is all to His plan, but we do also have the gift of free will" May 03 17:10:31 Its contradictory May 03 17:11:58 * Sorgi nods May 03 17:12:10 Perhaps only He really understands it May 03 17:12:28 * Morgan sighs, nodding May 03 17:13:01 alright. Thank you captain May 03 17:15:20 Perhaps think back on a time where He has helped you, or steered you towards something that has turned out better than you thought May 03 17:16:00 Tough to do. I've mostly just... got things done myself May 03 17:18:01 * Sorgi nods May 03 17:18:59 It is difficult May 03 17:19:51 * Morgan nods May 03 17:19:53 Yes... it is May 03 17:20:40 * Morgan sighs before taking a breath May 03 17:20:51 Alright... I'll get Brun fetched and speak with him May 03 17:22:53 Do you want to speak to him in your office? May 03 17:23:39 * Morgan nods May 03 17:23:47 I think thats best May 03 17:24:36 * Sorgi nods May 03 17:25:03 I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help May 03 17:25:35 * Morgan smiles, finishing his coffee May 03 17:25:46 You were May 03 17:27:39 * Sorgi stands up, letting him out "I will send him to you" May 03 17:28:29 * Morgan nods, thanking him before going into his study May 03 17:29:53 *the cat is stretched out on the desk snoozing May 03 17:30:33 * Morgan sits down, rubbing the cats belly May 03 17:32:04 *Ulysses wakes, wrapping around his arm to scrap* May 03 17:32:12 Oh really? May 03 17:32:17 * Morgan plays with the cat May 03 17:33:37 What do you think, hmmm? Am I wrong to feel like we've just been let loose by an uncaring parent? May 03 17:34:34 *Ulysses purrs and kicks at Morgan's arm, but his claws are fully sheathed* May 03 17:35:34 * Morgan moves the cat about the desk, play fighting May 03 17:35:57 *a few minutes later there's a knock on the door* May 03 17:36:03 come May 03 17:36:10 * Sorgi is now known as Brun May 03 17:36:20 * Brun comes in May 03 17:36:36 Cap'n said you wanted to see me, my Lord May 03 17:36:46 * Morgan indicates the chair opposite May 03 17:36:50 Have a seat May 03 17:37:07 * Brun takes a seat, smiling at the cat May 03 17:38:38 Talk to me Brun. May 03 17:39:55 It's quite simple, my Lord. I want to live freely May 03 17:41:03 * Morgan nods May 03 17:42:06 And what of your responsibilities onboard? May 03 17:43:43 * Brun sighs May 03 17:44:23 I don't want to let you down, my Lord, but... there's something about this place that finally feels right May 03 17:45:32 You have no family back home? May 03 17:46:31 * Brun shakes his head May 03 17:46:58 My parents died when I was young and my older brother was killed in action May 03 17:47:56 * Morgan nods May 03 17:49:33 Let me lay out my concerns... we are crewed enough to run safely... but the night running was not accounted for and puts an extra strain on our resources. Your staying puts an extra burden on the crew, potentially increasing the risk May 03 17:50:50 * Brun nods May 03 17:51:04 I want everyone to be safe May 03 17:51:10 * Morgan nods May 03 17:51:44 You realise the queen would have to agree to your staying? May 03 17:52:43 * Brun nods May 03 17:53:10 I'd need to find work, and somewhere to live, and learn the language too May 03 17:53:38 And your every action would impact on our welcome and our ability to trade here... May 03 17:55:33 * Brun nods May 03 17:56:20 I would like to be useful to you. If I could live here, I could learn the language and then help translate May 03 17:56:55 If the queen says no, you will not abscond and try to hide here? May 03 17:57:48 * Brun shakes his head May 03 17:57:53 Absolutely not, my Lord May 03 17:58:46 What if... assuming you got acceptance to stay... you sailed back with us, more hands to keep us safe... which gives us time to establish a reason for your coming back and remaining. May 03 18:00:06 * Brun nods May 03 18:01:06 I could do that, my Lord. It's not that that I've found someone special here yet, but seeing men be able to walk through the marketplace holding hands has made me realise that I want to -live- not survive May 03 18:01:41 * Morgan nods slowly May 03 18:02:00 The queen will need to be petitioned May 03 18:03:20 * Brun nods May 03 18:03:30 I'll do whatever you say, my Lord May 03 18:03:35 * Morgan nods May 03 18:04:09 My wife is petitioning her now. We will try, but I can't make any promises May 03 18:05:26 * Brun smiles May 03 18:06:15 Thank you. Thank you, my Lord. Even if I can't stay, just knowing that there is somewhere in the world that people like me aren't suffering for who we are is good May 03 18:06:42 * Morgan nods May 03 18:07:15 We will do all we can, Brun. Whatever she says, we all sail on Monday. May 03 18:08:45 * Brun nods May 03 18:08:48 Yes, my Lord May 03 18:08:56 * Morgan nods May 03 18:09:03 I'll let you know as soon as I can May 03 18:09:12 * Brun smiles May 03 18:09:22 Thank you May 03 18:10:11 * Morgan nods May 03 18:10:21 Alright Brun, go, enjoy the rest of our time here May 03 18:11:28 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) May 03 18:19:28 * Brun has quit (Read error: EOF from client) May 03 19:19:39 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 03 19:20:09 * Morgan has quit (Quit: Leaving) May 03 19:39:23 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 03 20:21:03 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 03 20:21:44 *he does, leaving Morgan with the cat* May 03 20:22:06 * Morgan plays with the cat a little longer before getting up to go down onto the beach May 03 20:24:48 *the others are down at the water, HH and Varick splashing, Inga holding Emil's hands so he can stand up in it May 03 20:25:14 * Morgan watches them for a couple of minutes before walking over to them May 03 20:28:32 * MollyK is now known as Inga May 03 20:28:54 You must be so glad about the negotiations being done? May 03 20:29:12 * Morgan nods May 03 20:29:35 I am. In a lot of ways I'll be glad to get underway to go home May 03 20:32:52 * Inga nods May 03 20:33:21 It will be nice to start work on our home May 03 20:34:18 * Morgan nods May 03 20:34:38 Are you sure you wouldn't both be happier in your house in Innesbruck? May 03 20:39:16 We love that house, but it's not where we wish to be. I want the huge family I've dreamt of since I was a child May 03 20:39:42 You could have your huge family there... May 03 20:42:46 No, because we wouldn't have you, Molly, Varick, Emil, and all the other children. I want my babies to have cousins to grow up beside May 03 20:42:56 * Morgan nods May 03 20:42:58 alright May 03 20:44:27 I know I'm... difficult... to be around. I'm moody, and disappointing at times... May 03 20:46:34 * Inga picks up the baby before hugging Morgan with one arm May 03 20:46:54 I don't think any of us think that May 03 20:48:00 Its true though. And I've seen the number of times you've looked at me and then looked disappointed, when I'm being stubborn and at odds with Molly May 03 20:50:42 I've also told Molly she's in the wrong before. I just want you two to be happy. You do end up falling out a lot May 03 20:54:45 She's got an awful habit of pushing me too far when she thinks she's being funny. Or being flippant, or thoughtless. May 03 20:57:37 I don't find that with her. If anything , I've found she is too serious and concerned about what she does and doesn't say May 03 21:00:16 * Morgan sighs May 03 21:00:18 Alright May 03 21:01:12 Molly teases you like Heinzharold sometimes does to me. He just wants to make me laugh May 03 21:02:26 yes... but its like she refuses to recognise when she's taken it too far, or when I'm getting uncomfortable, or like I'm being made to look a fool. May 03 21:03:15 I know for certain Molly doesn't think of you as a fool. She worships you May 03 21:03:50 And yet... May 03 21:05:02 Maybe you and she need to talk about it when you -aren't- arguing about it? May 03 21:05:25 * Morgan shrugs May 03 21:05:28 maybe May 03 21:07:24 It's hard to advise really. I'm so used to Heinzharold being... well, -Heinzharold- May 03 21:08:27 * Morgan nods May 03 21:11:28 Dietlinde never used to tease you that way? May 03 21:12:02 No, not at all. May 03 21:13:00 * Inga nods May 03 21:13:11 It's very different May 03 21:15:35 * Morgan nods May 03 21:16:21 She told me she feels I am cross with her if I use her name... so, when she was pushing too far, I used it, and she just... sailed right on. I don't like having to be unpleasant just to get her to back off May 03 21:18:15 Oh I heard about you using her name! She'd decided she was reading too much into it, and that if it felt right and easy to you to call her that, she would go with it May 03 21:18:34 * Morgan sighs May 03 21:18:40 I give up May 03 21:19:00 You two are complicated together May 03 21:20:04 I suppose May 03 21:20:53 If you like, I could talk to her about it? May 03 21:21:13 It'll just make her feel bad May 03 21:22:59 * Inga nods a little May 03 21:23:04 Probably May 03 21:24:20 Then its not worth it May 03 21:25:17 * Inga nods May 03 21:26:22 There's something I threaten Heinzharold with if he gets too silly, but it's something rude May 03 21:26:38 * Morgan nods May 03 21:29:32 It usually stops him in his tracks May 03 21:29:46 Dare I ask? May 03 21:30:12 Probably not! May 03 21:31:20 * Morgan nods, looking at the horizon May 03 21:33:46 * Inga puts Emil back with his feet in the water May 03 21:33:56 Are we eating here or at the house? May 03 21:34:10 I suppose that depends on what time Molly gets back May 03 21:36:33 Do you want us to take the boys back? May 03 21:37:15 * Morgan frowns May 03 21:37:29 I suppose it'd be nice to walk together... May 03 21:39:35 * Inga giggles May 03 21:42:45 * Morgan glances at her May 03 21:42:46 What? May 03 21:43:45 We all know about you and Molly and trees May 03 21:45:12 * Morgan blushes May 03 21:46:21 * Inga smiles May 03 21:46:44 We've all had a bit more opportunity when it's so private by the house here May 03 21:47:31 * Morgan nods May 03 21:48:42 That'll change when we sail again May 03 21:48:55 * Morgan nods May 03 21:49:06 For a while. Molly will need you and HeinzHarold even more... May 03 21:52:30 * Inga nods May 03 21:52:52 I will help. I think Heinzharold will work with you a bit May 03 21:53:23 * Morgan nods May 03 21:53:39 He mentioned he'll work more on the way home but... that was before Molly and Sorgi hatched their little plan May 03 21:53:53 * Inga nods May 03 21:54:00 We'll be fine May 03 21:54:27 * Morgan nods May 03 21:55:56 [where do we stand on Uinise coming?] May 03 21:56:27 [I think politically it is a good idea.] May 03 21:57:01 [this time? Or next time when we'll be less busy?] May 03 21:57:31 [This time would give her chance to attend an important event and meet the EIsenfurst...] May 03 21:58:00 [do you need to speak to Claudia?] May 03 21:58:31 [It'd be polite I suppose] May 03 21:59:11 [Betuana approves it, subject to Uinise wanting to go and her being protected in Eisen] May 03 21:59:34 [did you speak to her about Brun?] May 03 22:01:06 [yes. The prejudice he faces in Theah Main, and the loss he has suffered, means she is willing to accept him here, on the condition that he will never marry a woman or father a child] May 03 22:06:48 [Alright. I have a plan for him. I'll go talk to Claudia] May 03 22:06:57 Will you excuse me love, I need to talk to somone May 03 22:09:21 * Inga nods. Claudia is found in the rigging May 03 22:09:25 * Inga is now known as Claudia May 03 22:09:47 * Morgan climbs up, settling beside her May 03 22:10:46 I need to talk to you May 03 22:10:59 What's up? May 03 22:11:04 Uisine. May 03 22:13:26 Nothing's happened. May 03 22:13:39 * Morgan shrugs May 03 22:14:11 Its been suggested she act as an envoy for Capperlucia... May 03 22:17:59 She's about the only one who knows anything about Theah Main, it makes sense May 03 22:18:37 And that going to a big event, like... a wedding... would be a good idea, politically May 03 22:19:17 You want her coming back with us?! May 03 22:19:29 It'd make sense May 03 22:20:59 * Claudia sighs May 03 22:21:07 God dammit. May 03 22:21:37 Whether she comes back this time or next, she still sails with you May 03 22:22:51 Unless I changed ships May 03 22:23:30 You want to be away from her so badly? May 03 22:24:19 Seems I'm doomed to have people I'm attracted to travel with us, doesn't it? May 03 22:24:47 * Morgan shrugs May 03 22:26:29 Could be worse May 03 22:26:43 Yeah? May 03 22:27:04 In many ways. May 03 22:28:21 * Claudia looks out over the sea May 03 22:28:57 Will she stay with you at Hafenlohr? May 03 22:29:35 Probably have to I'd imagine. Though Molly doesn't want me off escorting her around Eisen May 03 22:30:21 You were planning to? May 03 22:30:48 No, but as soon as the idea of her coming to Eisen came up, Molly made it quite clear what her thoughts about it were May 03 22:31:15 Jealous? May 03 22:31:47 No... it could impact on the appropriate time for Molly to be getting pregnant May 03 22:32:33 There's the draw too May 03 22:32:38 * Morgan nods May 03 22:32:39 Quite May 03 22:34:31 Inga won't let Heinzharold go for the same reason May 03 22:35:05 * Morgan nods May 03 22:35:23 I wouldn't suggest she goes wandering about anyway but... meeting the Eisenfurst would be a good idea... May 03 22:37:06 * Claudia nods "keep her away from Isiah Fischler. She's been raised by strong women who lead their men..." May 03 22:37:17 * Morgan laughs May 03 22:37:25 She's not cruel enough for his tastes May 03 22:38:46 True May 03 22:39:09 Besides, there's a certain cousin of Molly's we're working on putting in his path May 03 22:39:37 * Claudia nods May 03 22:39:45 She's pretty... May 03 22:40:44 * Morgan nods May 03 22:41:48 agreed. May 03 22:42:06 Too young for me May 03 22:43:08 * Morgan nods May 03 22:44:36 * Claudia nods May 03 22:44:58 Four or five weeks until we get to Freiburg... May 03 22:45:26 * Morgan nods May 03 22:45:41 yes. Got any thoughts on who would be best suited to keeping her safe? May 03 22:45:57 * Claudia sighs May 03 22:46:08 The only logical person is me May 03 22:46:22 The -most- logical person is you, yes. May 03 22:48:38 Needs to be a woman for her safety May 03 22:48:45 * Morgan nods May 03 22:49:06 true. If it weren't for the baern, I'd stick her with Jarvie May 03 22:49:17 * Claudia shakes her head May 03 22:49:30 Needs to be someone who can fight if needs be May 03 22:49:55 * Morgan nods May 03 22:50:54 Yeah, thats true May 03 22:53:16 So basically me or Molly May 03 22:53:22 * Morgan nods May 03 22:53:33 Molly's got her own tasks to attend to May 03 22:54:41 Shit. How long is she staying? Just the length of one full round trip? May 03 22:54:56 I don't see her wanting to stay longer than that... May 03 22:55:14 * Claudia nods May 03 22:55:24 It's going to be about three months... May 03 22:56:24 Something like, yes. Its not certain yet, but I don't want to ask her unless I know she's going to be safe May 03 22:57:35 * Claudia sighs wearily May 03 22:57:39 Right May 03 22:58:35 * Morgan watches her May 03 22:59:51 I'm trying not to get involved when I already have enough stuff going on with the DeeDee shit. May 03 23:01:01 I know. You talked to Sorgi about any of it? May 03 23:02:10 * Claudia nods May 03 23:02:34 Yep. He says I'm free to do whatever I want and he's always there for me no matter what May 03 23:02:50 You told him about DeeDee? May 03 23:04:10 Yeah, that too May 03 23:04:26 * Morgan nods slowly May 03 23:04:29 I see May 03 23:06:39 * Claudia sighs May 03 23:06:56 It's a lot fucked up, huh? May 03 23:07:19 * Morgan shrugs May 03 23:07:23 Could be worse May 03 23:09:28 Yeah, there could be five complicated attractions since you came back! May 03 23:11:02 Your attraction to Uisine isn't complicated at all May 03 23:11:33 It is because of all the other things May 03 23:12:18 No, the -other- things are complicated... your action or inaction with Uisine comes solely from the complication of those other things, not your attraction to her May 03 23:12:48 Yeah, I suppose so... May 03 23:13:51 So you can stop feeling like its another complication. Its not. May 03 23:14:02 * Claudia nods May 03 23:14:59 She's very enthusiastic about the museum and books... I like enthusiasm May 03 23:15:26 * Morgan nods May 03 23:15:40 I imagine she's quite cute when she's enthused May 03 23:17:16 * Claudia smiles May 03 23:17:57 She is. She sort of bounces on the spot a little when she's talking May 03 23:18:30 * Morgan nods May 03 23:18:35 She did that when I gave her a book May 03 23:18:50 * Claudia nods May 03 23:19:24 I don't want to fuck things up with Capperlucia for you May 03 23:20:07 I'd rather you don't... perhaps... talk it over with her? Explain your situation... you might find its not nearly so complicated as you think May 03 23:21:32 Mind you... I'm not sure it'd make as many ripples as the things I've done in the last few days May 03 23:22:58 * Claudia nods "You never had to do such a long trip with someone you really fancy but know you have to stay away from, even when you know she likes you back" May 03 23:23:56 No... talk to her, Claudia. Before we leave. May 03 23:25:38 * Claudia nods May 03 23:25:58 She's going to show me the museum tonight May 03 23:26:09 sounds... romantic. May 03 23:27:12 Shut up. She just wanted me to see it when it's quiet May 03 23:28:08 * Morgan nods May 03 23:28:45 She needs to be told about the possibility of her joining us... May 03 23:30:14 * Claudia nods May 03 23:30:28 I'll ask and have word brought to you May 03 23:30:37 * Morgan nods May 03 23:31:14 I feel like I should tell her but... I don't want her getting excited about it and then changing her mind if she cannot accept what she needs to be told May 03 23:32:23 * Claudia nods, watching the sea again May 03 23:32:28 Yeah May 03 23:34:16 * Morgan looks round May 03 23:34:43 Right... unless you need me... I'm going to go and talk to Brun and Sorgi May 03 23:35:18 * Claudia nods "yeah" May 03 23:35:34 * Morgan squeezes her shoulder before climbing down and going looking for Brun May 03 23:37:21 * Claudia is now known as Brun May 03 23:37:36 * Brun is in the crew room playing cards May 03 23:37:57 Brun.... A word... May 03 23:42:31 * Brun follows him May 03 23:43:01 * Morgan finds somewhere quiet to talk privately May 03 23:43:01 I've had word... May 03 23:43:54 * Brun nods, looking serious May 03 23:43:58 Yes, my Lord May 03 23:44:30 We need to work out some details for the long term but, providing you never marry and never father children... you are allowed to stay May 03 23:45:08 * Brun looks so very relieved, grinning May 03 23:45:14 Seriously?! May 03 23:45:23 * Morgan nods May 03 23:45:54 I'll find some reason for your returning and staying that'll satisfy any questions... May 03 23:46:27 Thank you, thank you so much. I swear I'll do nothing that lets you or Her Excellency down May 03 23:47:14 * Morgan nods May 03 23:47:49 I'm sure you won't. Take a while to get used to the idea, the others will wonder what's going on if they see you grinning like a loon May 03 23:48:12 * Brun nods, smiling "thank you" May 03 23:48:52 I've no doubt the wait to get back will be trying... keep your eyes on the end goal, yes? May 03 23:49:07 * Brun nods May 03 23:49:11 I will May 03 23:49:22 * Morgan nods May 03 23:49:32 Good man. Go on, I need to talk to the captain May 03 23:49:47 * Brun does so May 03 23:49:56 * Morgan goes to find Sorgi May 03 23:50:10 * Brun is now known as Sorgi May 03 23:50:27 * Sorgi is in his cabin, but looks to be about to go on watch May 03 23:50:38 A moment, captain? May 03 23:50:42 * Sorgi nods May 03 23:50:50 Always May 03 23:51:02 * Morgan smiles slightly May 03 23:52:08 I've had word... Brun can stay... I've talked with him and what will happen... he is going to remain onboard, then when the ship returns, he'll disembark for good. We're going to find something for him to do here. May 03 23:53:31 * Sorgi nods May 03 23:54:10 A man of business at this end to have cargo prepared are ready to load, as well as to unload, might be a wise choice May 03 23:55:16 * Morgan nods May 03 23:56:14 Indeed. It'll make me rest a little easier on the way home... and we can make sure we have suitable crew to account for the night sailing next time you come out here May 03 23:56:41 * Sorgi nods May 03 23:57:05 A wise choice when the heart says rush in May 03 23:57:45 * Morgan nods May 03 23:57:47 I thought so May 03 23:59:15 Claudia tells me she told you about her issue with one of Edwards friends... May 03 23:59:29 * Sorgi nods
