**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu May 4 00:00:03 2023 May 04 00:00:03 She has a very strong attraction to Lieutenant Dieppe May 04 00:00:08 * Morgan nods May 04 00:00:16 I was wondering how you're feeling about all of that May 04 00:01:02 I want her to be happy and not get hurt any further May 04 00:01:25 I know that... but it doesn't answer my question May 04 00:02:49 I am happy here on the ship, m'Lord. I love Claudia dearly, but I don't want to tie her down May 04 00:03:31 * Morgan nods May 04 00:03:36 Alright my friend May 04 00:05:24 The age gap between she and I is fifteen years. She's still young enough to be a mother one day, if she ever wants to May 04 00:05:36 * Morgan nods May 04 00:06:37 You're a good man Sorgi May 04 00:07:11 * Sorgi smiles May 04 00:07:39 Thank you. She's also very attracted to Uinise, have you seen? May 04 00:08:05 * Morgan nods May 04 00:08:27 She is just Claudia's type. She was quite angry when she came onboard, thinking I had arranged it May 04 00:09:08 * Sorgi laughs May 04 00:09:21 She seems like a nice woman May 04 00:09:30 * Morgan nods May 04 00:09:38 She's very... sweet. May 04 00:11:32 * Sorgi nods May 04 00:12:28 Are you worrying I am going to be upset if my relationship with Claudia changes because of either of them? May 04 00:12:54 You're my friend, of course I am. May 04 00:14:29 We will stay friends. It's always been only for as long as it suits May 04 00:15:40 I know but... you always look so happy when she comes into view May 04 00:16:28 * Sorgi smiles May 04 00:16:50 I will always love her, m' Lord, but we don't have to own something to love it May 04 00:17:10 * Morgan nods May 04 00:17:14 You're quite right of course May 04 00:18:24 * Sorgi nods May 04 00:19:30 I've never had a serious relationship. I had a few casual ones when I was much younger, but it never felt right May 04 00:19:48 * Morgan nods May 04 00:20:02 If the time comes when she wants to go her own way... will you be alright? May 04 00:20:45 * Sorgi nods May 04 00:21:22 I will hope to keep in touch with her by letter, but if not, I will let her go on to whatever her future holds May 04 00:21:47 She cares about you a great deal May 04 00:22:30 * Sorgi nods May 04 00:22:32 I know May 04 00:23:08 * Morgan nods May 04 00:23:14 You know how rare that is for her? May 04 00:23:38 I do. She doesn't let people close May 04 00:24:42 * Morgan nods May 04 00:25:03 Absolutely. Never figured out why she let me so close. May 04 00:26:48 She trusts you May 04 00:27:31 Never figured that out either. May 04 00:29:01 * Sorgi shrugs May 04 00:29:10 Claudia is a complicated person May 04 00:29:22 * Morgan smiles slightly May 04 00:29:58 Complicated Claudia... May 04 00:30:34 * Sorgi nods May 04 00:30:36 She is May 04 00:31:50 * Morgan nods May 04 00:31:59 Sorry, I'm keeping you from your shift May 04 00:32:20 * Sorgi checks the time May 04 00:32:58 Ten to six. I need to get on deck. You'll be staying tomorrow night ready to hand over early? May 04 00:33:06 * Morgan nods May 04 00:33:11 That is the plan May 04 00:34:02 I've drawn you up a shift plan, but you can modify it as you need May 04 00:34:26 Do you have it to hand? I'll look it over tonight May 04 00:35:30 * Sorgi finds it for him May 04 00:36:10 * Morgan takes it, thanking him before moving out of the cabin and letting him go May 04 00:37:24 * Sorgi goes up on deck May 04 00:45:48 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) May 04 00:48:12 * Sorgi has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) May 04 01:37:23 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 04 01:44:04 * MollyK has quit (Ping Timeout) May 04 02:58:44 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 04 03:08:52 * MollyK has quit (Ping Timeout) May 04 11:22:29 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.150) has joined May 04 11:24:03 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) May 04 13:59:37 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 04 15:22:56 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) May 04 16:01:57 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 04 17:08:32 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) May 04 17:30:06 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 04 19:29:31 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 04 19:30:40 [My love, I am done] May 04 19:31:20 [we're on the ship... or the beach] May 04 19:31:36 * Morgan tucks the paper into his pocket before making his way down to the beach May 04 19:34:27 [alright, my love] May 04 19:41:03 * Morgan finds his way back to Inga and HeinzHarold May 04 19:44:23 *they're playing on the beach. It's not long after that Molly finds them, and so they make their way back to the house. Whilst Inga and HH prepare the children's dinner, Molly feeds Emil on the porch. May 04 19:44:49 How are you, my love? May 04 19:45:11 * Morgan shrugs May 04 19:45:16 I'm alright. You? May 04 19:45:44 * MollyK smiles May 04 19:45:49 Very well May 04 19:46:02 * Morgan nods May 04 19:46:30 I've left it with Claudia to talk to UInise about coming back with us... they need to be on the same page before they're stuck together for months May 04 19:46:46 * MollyK nods May 04 19:47:05 We do not want any lover's tiffs disrupting things May 04 19:47:25 * Morgan nods May 04 19:50:45 Indeed May 04 19:51:17 Betuana was happy for it to be this time or next May 04 19:52:22 * Morgan nods May 04 19:52:48 We will be putting in some framework to have Brun acting as our man of business here... May 04 19:53:48 Oh! May 04 19:54:57 You don't like the idea? May 04 19:56:26 It's an excellent idea, I just hadn't thought of it May 04 19:57:06 He's going to return with us, so we have time to make it a bit more known thats why he's staying, and so we aren't shorter on crew with the night sailing May 04 19:57:24 * MollyK nods May 04 19:57:44 It will give him time to learn Capperlucian too May 04 20:00:31 * Morgan nods May 04 20:00:33 indeed May 04 20:00:42 Hear any interesting rumours? May 04 20:01:26 Gossip? Oh no, I would -never- listen to gossip! May 04 20:01:31 * MollyK giggles May 04 20:01:46 No... its not in your nature at all... May 04 20:02:12 Oh no, not at all(!) May 04 20:02:32 * Morgan nods May 04 20:02:36 So... thats a no? May 04 20:02:58 Capperlucia doesn't have much gossip. People are too honest and open May 04 20:03:15 I didn't say gossip... I said rumour... May 04 20:04:38 No, I did learn something -I- found interesting though May 04 20:05:03 Oh? May 04 20:05:54 Coconuts will last four months from freshly harvested May 04 20:07:18 Thats something I suppose. We'll have to have a hothouse won't we? May 04 20:07:52 Oh, I rather think you and I were always going to have a hot house, my love... May 04 20:12:13 * Morgan smiles May 04 20:12:25 You know what I meant... if we did and we could grow some of the fruits... May 04 20:13:05 * MollyK nods May 04 20:13:43 Especially with a little help. I've bought some seeds, they were not on Faulk's list, so I have bought them myself May 04 20:15:31 I'm not entirely clear on where the benefits of the trade go... May 04 20:20:13 The cargo we take back, His Grace will likely want first refusal to purchase on. We've made money on the cargo we brought with us. May 04 20:20:40 * Morgan nods May 04 20:20:41 Alright May 04 20:22:40 And we now have more coconuts to take home. If they last four months as they are, I'd expect them to last longer chilled May 04 20:26:32 I don't know I'll have much ability to do that while being in charge May 04 20:30:56 * MollyK nods May 04 20:31:31 Four months will take us past the Baptism, so we'll have been able to show them off May 04 20:31:57 * Morgan nods May 04 20:32:11 good May 04 20:35:44 * MollyK nods May 04 20:36:19 And that means the demand will increase. The rarity and shelf life will push it too May 04 20:36:29 * Morgan nods May 04 20:36:51 Thats good. May 04 20:40:25 * MollyK nods May 04 20:40:56 I think so. The agreement is all signed, so now we can enjoy our last day here tomorrow May 04 20:42:54 * Morgan nods May 04 20:43:14 Do you think... they'd be very cross... if I got up close with a dragon? May 04 20:45:39 I wouldn't think so, if it were even possible May 04 20:46:56 * Morgan nods May 04 20:46:58 good... May 04 20:47:41 Are you planning to approach them tomorrow? May 04 20:48:16 No, I'm not... did you mention it to Betuana? May 04 20:50:06 It's never been done before, but she seemed to be considering it May 04 20:52:23 * Morgan nods, looking out at the seat May 04 20:52:47 See if she still feels like considering it once word gets back to her May 04 20:53:40 Word of what? May 04 20:53:55 * Morgan sends her an image of being eye to eye with the dragon May 04 20:56:51 * MollyK whispers "dear lord!" May 04 20:57:22 There were a few gasps I must admit May 04 20:58:09 Weren't you scared? May 04 20:58:47 No. A little uneasy... but not scared. When it was looking at me before it started towards me, it wasn't the look of an animal wanting to eat something May 04 21:09:54 What was it like? May 04 21:10:51 Very much like when the dracheneisen got so close... except... I managed to get a hand to it... then, after it sniffed me some and looked at me a bit, it pulled out the scale from its flank and dropped it in my lap May 04 21:11:46 That's rather unusual May 04 21:12:21 Thats what I gathered, yes. May 04 21:13:45 * MollyK smiles May 04 21:14:07 It must have been wonderful May 04 21:14:30 * Morgan nods May 04 21:15:19 I'm a little surprised word hadn't reached the queen already May 04 21:16:50 She's been busy being a grandmother again May 04 21:17:30 * Morgan nods May 04 21:17:43 I hope she won't be angry... I had no wish to damage relations... May 04 21:18:41 I doubt it, my love May 04 21:21:11 I hope you're right May 04 21:21:21 * MollyK sits Emil up May 04 21:21:32 You worry too much, my love May 04 21:24:03 Twice this week I've done things no-one ever has before... in another persons lands... May 04 21:24:23 It doesn't mean they are bad things May 04 21:24:37 *Emil tries to get to Morgan* May 04 21:26:25 No but... getting up close with a dragon... only the royal family do that May 04 21:26:29 Shall I take him? May 04 21:26:42 * MollyK passes him over May 04 21:27:05 We are almost royalty... May 04 21:27:31 Not quite sure I follow that... May 04 21:27:40 * Morgan cuddles Emil, rocking him May 04 21:28:15 They've not had royal visitors before. Maybe it's an honour we can be allowed too May 04 21:29:59 but... we're not royalty... May 04 21:30:44 * MollyK shrugs May 04 21:31:01 They do not have dukes and duchesses, so... May 04 21:31:14 I think thats a bit of a stretch... May 04 21:31:54 Perhaps, but we do appear titled, wealthy, and cultured May 04 21:32:00 *Emil burps loudly* May 04 21:32:17 * MollyK giggles "Except for him..." May 04 21:33:25 * Morgan nods May 04 21:33:32 Got a bit to learn, this one May 04 21:33:56 Not to worry, he has you to show him how to wear breeches nicely May 04 21:35:17 And go shirtless even though its so -very- difficult May 04 21:36:43 * MollyK nods May 04 21:37:00 But it has been most pleasing to see May 04 21:38:04 I'm... getting used to it May 04 21:40:35 * MollyK nods May 04 21:40:44 Soon it will be too cold again May 04 21:40:49 * Morgan shrugs May 04 21:40:54 I like the cold May 04 21:41:29 I will miss being able to look at your body whenever I please May 04 21:43:12 I suppose I can endeavour to allow it more often at home May 04 21:57:45 * MollyK nods enthusiastically May 04 21:57:51 Oh yes please! May 04 21:58:42 * Morgan nods May 04 21:59:38 Is Brun pleased? May 04 22:00:17 Ecstatic. He'd have gone back and stayed aboard if the queen had said no... his reasons for staying were really quite compelling May 04 22:00:33 * MollyK nods May 04 22:00:56 She is appalled how men who like men are treated May 04 22:01:35 * Morgan nods May 04 22:01:40 It isn't right May 04 22:02:07 * MollyK nods May 04 22:02:15 He will be safer here May 04 22:02:25 * Morgan nods May 04 22:02:28 much May 04 22:03:44 Will you miss it here? May 04 22:04:00 Yes and no May 04 22:04:27 Why both? May 04 22:05:09 Its fairly relaxed here, everyone is pleasant... I got to stroke a dragon... but... I have things to do May 04 22:05:41 * MollyK nods May 04 22:06:20 I won't miss the heat May 04 22:06:35 No... May 04 22:06:57 I'll miss Xsarlac May 04 22:07:31 Its good to see him home, with his loved ones May 04 22:08:05 * MollyK nods May 04 22:08:42 It is good that he has the love of his life again May 04 22:09:14 * Morgan nods May 04 22:09:45 It's nice to have fixed something May 04 22:10:42 * Morgan nods May 04 22:10:45 Yes, it is May 04 22:11:23 * MollyK watches the baby a moment May 04 22:11:39 Does it hurt like it did with Hannalore and Federest? May 04 22:12:05 Hurt? May 04 22:12:52 I thought it hurt you, seeing them reunite in a way you could not have May 04 22:13:38 It did back then, to a point... this time the only pain is losing Zareen May 04 22:14:47 * MollyK nods "she was lovely" May 04 22:15:02 * Morgan nods, holding Emil closer May 04 22:15:41 Our memory of her will live on through our son May 04 22:16:10 * Morgan nods May 04 22:16:13 aye May 04 22:18:43 * MollyK watches the sea May 04 22:18:52 It's been hard work May 04 22:19:35 * Morgan nods May 04 22:19:51 You've done it... you've accomplished the task the Eisenfurst set you May 04 22:22:16 * MollyK nods, smiling May 04 22:22:46 I have. And I am so very ready to concentrate on being a wife and mother for the foreseeable future May 04 22:23:01 * Morgan nods May 04 22:23:21 Soon love May 04 22:25:35 * MollyK smile May 04 22:26:11 I have mothering duties enough to go along with... wifely duties, well, we shall have to see what comes up! May 04 22:26:43 * Morgan nods May 04 22:26:45 I suppose so May 04 22:28:05 It is their turn to go out tonight May 04 22:28:51 I suppose it is May 04 22:30:12 You could go with them, if you wish May 04 22:30:54 I think they might object to that... May 04 22:32:38 * MollyK giggles May 04 22:32:42 Maybe so May 04 22:33:18 * Morgan nods May 04 22:34:01 *Emil yawns* May 04 22:34:18 I think we need to see if he'll eat anything before bed May 04 22:35:07 * Morgan nods May 04 22:35:10 I reckon so May 04 22:37:13 *they go on in. He eats a little before nursing again. She puts him in the crib asleep, Varick wanting Morgan to carry him. He looks sad when he's in the bed May 04 22:37:17 * MollyK is now known as Varick May 04 22:37:28 I wish we didn't have to go May 04 22:37:46 You like spending so much time with everyone and the playing with the children May 04 22:40:13 * Varick nods "I like the beach. I like KaeLani, but I haven't seen her today" May 04 22:40:38 No... I didn't see her when I climbed the wall either... May 04 22:40:57 She'll be at the feast May 04 22:41:19 Oh, you'll get to see her then then May 04 22:42:58 Then I have to say good bye *his bottom lip quivers* May 04 22:43:32 * Morgan moves to cuddle him May 04 22:44:05 Do you know what we're going to do then? May 04 22:44:47 See Florrie May 04 22:45:08 * Morgan nods May 04 22:46:25 And then we'll see my uncle Christopher, and have James and Elsie and Thomas with us, and then we'll go home, where we're going to have a gathering to celebrate your baptism... you can see Uncle Edward and Auntie Mina, and your grampa and grandma...and Florrie and Alice are going to be staying for a whole month May 04 22:46:51 * Varick nods May 04 22:47:10 I can be happy about one thing -and- sad about another, Vati May 04 22:47:30 Yes, of course you can. I just didn't want you being just sad May 04 22:48:25 * Varick nods May 04 22:48:38 Will we come to Capperlucia again one day? May 04 22:49:07 Some day I hope to, yes. But even if I don't, when you're older, you can May 04 22:50:14 * Varick nods May 04 22:50:28 When I am a man, maybe this will be my house May 04 22:52:07 Köln will need you to guide it. Maybe... maybe the right thing to do would be to try to make our home as friendly and loving as this place is. May 04 22:52:25 * Varick nods May 04 22:52:42 Maybe KaeLani could visit me? May 04 22:53:46 Maybe. Maybe she could come back on the Rose someday May 04 22:54:24 * Varick smiles May 04 22:54:41 Okay, Vati. Goodnight May 04 22:55:03 Goodnight son. I love you. May 04 22:57:03 I love you too May 04 22:57:23 * Morgan kisses his forehead, letting him back onto the bed and stroking his forehead May 04 22:57:40 * Varick is quickly asleep May 04 22:58:34 * Morgan quietly gets up, leaving the room May 04 22:59:05 * Varick is now known as Molly May 04 23:00:52 * Molly is downstairs laying out dinner with the others, all having a good time. Once they're sat around just the four of them, about to eat and with the warm sea breeze coming in, HH gestures May 04 23:01:23 $thought about raising a toast for all the work she's done?$ May 04 23:01:47 $I was going to tomorrow but... $ May 04 23:02:19 * Morgan clears his throat May 04 23:04:29 *the others look* May 04 23:05:19 Blossom... I cannot overstate the importance of what you've done here... you've put in a monumental amount of work, and Eisen will be better for it. I'm so -immensely- proud of you. HeinzHarold, Inga, will you join me in raising a toast to Molly... May 04 23:06:07 * Molly is blushing so very hard,and HH and Inga join in the toast May 04 23:06:42 * Morgan raises his glass, looking at Molly May 04 23:06:45 Well done love May 04 23:07:58 * Molly wipes at her eyes a moment "thank you, liebling. I could never have done so without you teaching me to believe in myself, or without you looking after the boys. It is your success too" May 04 23:08:31 * Morgan smiles, sipping his drink May 04 23:10:08 HH: His Grace gon' be really pleased with you pair May 04 23:10:31 She's secured trade and relations and I haven't hit anyone? May 04 23:11:35 HH: yep... although, still a day an' a half to go yet May 04 23:11:54 * Morgan nods May 04 23:12:09 Might be pissed that I fussed the dragon... May 04 23:13:05 HH: mebbie. I nearly pissed you did May 04 23:14:04 * Molly giggles May 04 23:14:15 Was Heinzharold really scared, my love? May 04 23:14:52 I'm not entirely sure... I was a bit busy May 04 23:15:24 HH: tryinna not get ate May 04 23:16:10 We weren't going to get eaten May 04 23:16:57 HH: I wasn't, b'cause I stayed far away May 04 23:19:02 * Morgan shrugs May 04 23:19:06 I was fairly confident May 04 23:19:54 HH: I thought mebbie he'd look a bit too tasty May 04 23:20:03 * Molly giggles, as does Inga May 04 23:20:30 * Morgan shakes his head, tracing a line of scar tissue across his chest May 04 23:20:33 Too chewy May 04 23:22:56 HH: Not me, I'm all young an' tender an' juicy May 04 23:23:11 * Molly wrinkles her nose May 04 23:26:27 When one is a physician, a man being juicy doesn't seem particularly appealing May 04 23:27:11 * Morgan sips his drink, looking thoughtful May 04 23:28:22 [I'm not sure it's even a pleasant term to describe a woman with!] May 04 23:28:54 [hmm? Oh. No, probably not] May 04 23:29:28 [your mind is elsewhere once more?] May 04 23:29:41 [Something just occurred to me, thats all] May 04 23:30:40 * Molly waits until they have gone out for their "walk" and she and Morgan have gone up to bed before she says "what occurred to you earlier, my love?" May 04 23:31:24 I... I made a joke... May 04 23:32:10 Did you?
