**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon May 8 09:42:40 2023 May 08 09:42:40 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 08 11:13:18 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 08 11:14:55 It was a continual pleasant reminder May 08 11:14:55 * Morgan nods May 08 11:14:55 good May 08 11:14:55 You would like to do that again? May 08 11:14:57 * Morgan nods May 08 11:14:59 Yes, I would... May 08 11:15:01 * MollyK waits to see if he will continue May 08 11:15:03 * Morgan doesn't May 08 11:17:06 * MollyK smiles May 08 11:17:56 We just need to get home to Hafenlohr and settled in to building May 08 11:18:02 * Morgan nods May 08 11:18:04 aye May 08 11:21:24 Then I will start looking for tutors for Varick May 08 11:22:08 * Morgan nods May 08 11:22:16 I'm sure he'll appreciate that May 08 11:24:09 * MollyK smiles May 08 11:24:39 Oh, certainly... but he is old enough, and if Walder moves with us, I want Jacques educated with him May 08 11:24:46 * Morgan nods May 08 11:24:50 That'll cause some waves May 08 11:25:46 If anyone has an issue they could take it up with the future Graf, but some say I have him wrapped around my little finger May 08 11:26:13 Oh I was thinking I quite approve of it May 08 11:28:42 * MollyK nods May 08 11:29:06 He has made our lives much easier, it is only right to pay that back May 08 11:29:46 * Morgan nods May 08 11:29:47 Yes it is May 08 11:31:26 And a companion in lessons will help Varick May 08 11:32:10 * Morgan nods May 08 11:32:19 It'll help him stay focussed if he isn't the only one doing it May 08 11:32:46 * MollyK nods May 08 11:33:03 When will we start looking for our fosterling? May 08 11:35:56 Uhhh... probably not for a little while... May 08 11:36:54 You wish to wait until closer to him shifting, or until after I have our first birthed child? May 08 11:37:35 Both, really... though it may be beneficial to have the fosterling settled before they shift... but that'd mean dealing with two of them going through it at the same time May 08 11:39:40 Or have them with a few years age difference? May 08 11:42:17 * Morgan nods May 08 11:42:20 An idea, yes May 08 11:44:35 * MollyK nods May 08 11:45:03 Perhaps a year before he is due to shift, one who shifted the previous year? May 08 11:45:30 Thats a good idea May 08 11:48:06 * MollyK smiles May 08 11:48:17 Mmhmm... a boy or a girl? May 08 11:49:25 I'm not sure I'm ready for that decision yet May 08 11:51:29 No? May 08 11:51:51 There is a lot to consider with either gender May 08 11:53:13 I think Ivan said he would be around eleven? May 08 11:54:39 * Morgan nods May 08 11:54:41 Something like that, yes May 08 11:56:01 We have plenty of time to decide then May 08 11:57:45 A fair while, yes May 08 11:58:58 * MollyK nods May 08 11:59:18 Three years... we might have two babies in that time May 08 12:00:31 * Morgan nods May 08 12:00:36 Quite possible. More if there are twins May 08 12:01:25 * MollyK nods May 08 12:01:34 You'd like that? May 08 12:01:59 I wouldn't complain May 08 12:02:40 Like the dream I had with the rolly twin and the kicky twin? May 08 12:03:18 * Morgan nods May 08 12:03:20 Exactly May 08 12:06:26 * MollyK nods, smiling May 08 12:06:33 I was huge! May 08 12:07:08 * Morgan nods May 08 12:07:11 Yes, you were May 08 12:09:45 I don't mind that. Sonnenshien had triplets and then twins... that would be a lot to deal with! May 08 12:10:04 * Morgan nods May 08 12:10:07 Yes, it would May 08 12:12:05 You'd need your own bed if I was carrying triplets, there'd be no room! May 08 12:12:43 * Morgan nods May 08 12:12:49 Sounds about right May 08 12:14:59 * MollyK nods May 08 12:15:12 And our room will be full of cribs May 08 12:16:11 Could be awkward to get in and out of the room May 08 12:17:24 * MollyK nods May 08 12:17:54 Indeed. Why is there another crib in the bedroom? May 08 12:18:22 Oh... one of the artisans wanted to give it to us... the base can move I believe May 08 12:20:43 That is very generous May 08 12:21:20 * Morgan nods May 08 12:21:33 Yes, it is... they wanted to give something to the ambassador... May 08 12:22:53 * Morgan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) May 08 12:23:32 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 08 12:23:46 * MollyK nods May 08 12:24:06 It will be useful to stop Emil climbing out? May 08 12:24:18 * Morgan nods May 08 12:24:20 Oh yes May 08 12:28:35 * MollyK nods May 08 12:29:11 Which room would you have it in? May 08 12:29:21 * Morgan shrugs May 08 12:29:25 I've no idea. May 08 12:30:35 * MollyK nods May 08 12:30:45 We rather need to decide by bedtime May 08 12:31:04 You do not wish to leave him in the one we already have? May 08 12:35:16 I think it would be easier to lift him from the new one, but I love the one you made. The one in our room that was bought by Xsarlac in Zweibrucke perhaps we can save for somewhere in Hafenlohr when we have lots of babies? May 08 12:36:07 The issue I can see... is that the one he's in right now... wasn't just me that made it... Varick worked very hard on it May 08 12:38:03 * MollyK nods May 08 12:38:23 If he is to sleep at night with Varick, he should stay in that one May 08 12:40:10 * Morgan nods May 08 12:40:11 I agree May 08 12:41:48 And the new one we will keep in our room in case he needs to stay with us any time? May 08 12:41:57 Thats probably a good idea May 08 12:43:35 * MollyK nods May 08 12:44:05 Alright then... our baby is already moving out of our room... *she smiles* it will be good for them May 08 12:45:16 I think it will, yes May 08 12:48:25 A little sad for us though? May 08 12:53:05 Aye, it is love May 08 12:53:32 * MollyK strokes his cheek May 08 12:53:45 There'll be more babies, don't worry May 08 12:54:17 * Morgan nods May 08 12:54:19 aye May 08 12:56:43 Will you be pleased to get sailing again? May 08 12:57:21 Aside from it meaning I am away from all of you more... yes May 08 13:00:35 * MollyK nods "would you prefer we stay away, or come up to see you now and then?" May 08 13:01:34 * Morgan shrugs May 08 13:01:39 I don't know really... May 08 13:14:31 We will be a distraction? May 08 13:15:15 I don't know... May 08 13:18:22 * MollyK nods. He hears Emil babbling in Varick's room May 08 13:18:32 Sounds like Emil is awake May 08 13:18:45 * MollyK nods May 08 13:19:09 It must be nearly time then May 08 13:21:32 Time? May 08 13:23:40 For the end of quiet hour and for you to talk to Edward May 08 13:25:26 Oh... I'd best get the mirrors setup then May 08 13:26:26 * MollyK waits for him to get up May 08 13:26:34 * Morgan sighs, getting up May 08 13:29:37 What's wrong, my love? May 08 13:30:26 Nothing, I'm fine... I was comfortable May 08 13:30:56 * MollyK smiles warmly,sitting up May 08 13:31:01 That is nice to hear May 08 13:31:45 * Morgan nods, moving to unpack the mirror May 08 13:32:49 I like that you feel -comfortable- with that physical closeness May 08 13:34:34 * Morgan smiles, getting it setup May 08 13:34:41 Well... I am most of the time May 08 13:36:27 * MollyK nods "sometimes things make you retreat from it, I know" May 08 13:37:05 * Morgan nods May 08 13:37:06 aye May 08 13:39:18 * MollyK goes to get Emil and Varick up. He's got five minutes before two May 08 13:39:44 * Morgan goes to get coffee, coming back and finding a shirt to pull on May 08 13:41:44 *Edward must have accidentally uncovered his mirrror, because although he can only see a chair, he can hear Edward talking May 08 13:43:01 E: You are, without a doubt, the single best thing that has ever happened to me, Mimi. The times when I am at my best, it is when I am inspired to be a better man for you. May 08 13:43:17 * MollyK is now known as Edward May 08 13:44:46 * Edward pauses whilst Mina says something quietly, and Edward then sounds like he gives her a kiss before sending her on her way. He comes to sit in front of the mirror, smiling May 08 13:44:53 Good afternoon, brother May 08 13:45:03 * Morgan inclines his head before sipping his coffee May 08 13:45:10 Everything alright? May 08 13:47:20 * Edward nods May 08 13:47:26 Yes, and with you? May 08 13:47:55 Well enough, aye. Some big feast tonight and we set off tomorrow May 08 13:48:56 That seems quick. It is all negotiated? May 08 13:49:12 * Morgan nods May 08 13:50:00 Yes, it is. Agreements are in place for the future, we're bringing back an envoy... she's the curator of the museum here and has a great interest in the rest of Theah May 08 13:53:16 * Edward smiles May 08 13:53:46 Well done to you both then. What will you do with an Ambassador? May 08 13:55:01 She's going to come with us, attend some big party thats going to happen... Claudia will be her escort to keep her safe. May 08 13:58:24 She'll be at the baptisms and Zench's wedding? May 08 13:58:43 Time allowing, yes. Politically its a good opportunity May 08 14:01:42 * Edward nods May 08 14:02:10 How are Varick and Emil? May 08 14:03:23 Varicks sad we're leaving... he made a friend and is sad about leaving and not getting to play on the beach. Emil has Molly wrapped round his finger... the second she returns, he screams like he's been inconsolable all day May 08 14:04:56 * Edward laughs "Are you jealous, brother?" May 08 14:06:29 Its a little disheartening, having cared for him all day for him to leap from me and scream like he's been mistreated all day May 08 14:08:44 * Edward nods May 08 14:09:08 That might change when you get back to sea May 08 14:09:38 Going to be difficult given my shifts May 08 14:13:26 You said you would be the Captain. It's a busy job? May 08 14:13:41 * Morgan nods May 08 14:13:57 Busier than even I expected. May 08 14:16:40 Will you have time for that with a family to oversee? May 08 14:17:10 Molly is going to have to take a lot of that on... with Inga's help... but thats what it will be like when I am Graf and having to travel May 08 14:19:00 * Edward nods "you will need to delegate much to your first officer" May 08 14:19:08 * Morgan nods May 08 14:19:28 And... this is the only chance I'll have to fully experience my childhood dream May 08 14:21:04 * Edward nods May 08 14:21:38 I will be speaking to her and not you then May 08 14:21:58 Might be able to find a time... but... I suppose so May 08 14:23:43 * Edward nods May 08 14:25:07 I heard from Dekker, he has removed his things from Hafenlohr, but left you almost all the furniture which came with the house when he got it May 08 14:25:22 * Morgan nods May 08 14:25:44 Will... willl there be beds, couches, that sort of thing? May 08 14:25:52 * Edward nods May 08 14:26:35 Diana wants to decorate their new home to her tastes May 08 14:26:46 understandable May 08 14:30:20 * Edward nods "He is still considering selling the house he lived with Mary and Vania in" May 08 14:31:19 It is a difficult decision, even though it isn't -really- a decision May 08 14:33:12 It means he will be -choosing- to let go May 08 14:33:21 * Morgan nods May 08 14:33:28 Its not the house... its the memory May 08 14:36:04 * Edward nods "once the house is gone, he couldn't go back there, even just by himself" May 08 14:37:09 * Morgan nods May 08 14:37:21 A dilemma I am acutely familiar with May 08 14:38:19 * Edward nods May 08 14:38:38 How have your nightmares been? May 08 14:39:08 Non existent. I don't have them here. Once I get closer to home, they will resume May 08 14:41:17 It must have been nice May 08 14:41:39 * Morgan smiles slightly May 08 14:42:14 Its been nice not worrying about it, yes... but its not how it is to be long term May 08 14:43:21 * Edward nods May 08 14:43:35 Have you had much time with Molly? May 08 14:44:20 Not as much as I'd have liked but... more than I expected May 08 14:47:01 I am pleased to hear it. She's worked hard for this, and it is important that they feel our pride May 08 14:47:18 * Morgan nods May 08 14:47:28 Mother gave me some guidance on supporting Molly that has helped I think May 08 14:47:42 Oh, I have something to show you... May 08 14:47:51 * Morgan digs in the draw, producing the scale May 08 14:48:02 * Edward looks closer at the mirror May 08 14:48:07 What is it? May 08 14:48:39 A dragon scale May 08 14:50:12 * Edward looks impressed May 08 14:50:17 How did you get it? May 08 14:50:55 * Morgan glances round May 08 14:52:15 I went to the island where one lives with a guide. It came out of the trees and started staring at me, and came over for a good sniff, like the drachen did... I -may- have managed to put my hand on it... then it turned and pulled the scale out and dropped it in my lap May 08 14:52:44 * Edward nods slowly May 08 14:53:11 It is hard to tell nowadays where reality ends and your usual jokes about the supernatural begins May 08 14:53:57 Its quite frustrating sometimes May 08 14:54:35 * Edward nods May 08 14:54:45 It seems they like you May 08 14:55:03 * Morgan nods May 08 14:55:26 I'm wondering if they can... -see- the changes that have been made in me by the Nieblungen May 08 14:57:26 That makes sense May 08 14:57:33 * Morgan nods May 08 14:58:08 Oh, and I've got this... *he lifts his arm, showing the wound* May 08 14:59:43 *it's healing well now* May 08 14:59:51 Who did you annoy? May 08 15:00:40 Oh, no... I climbed the wall... slipped about ten feet from the top and got that... May 08 15:02:06 * Edward nods May 08 15:02:13 It's going to scar May 08 15:02:25 * Morgan nods, smiling May 08 15:02:32 Yes, it will May 08 15:04:03 You look pleased by that May 08 15:04:34 You don't approve May 08 15:05:57 I just do not understand why? May 08 15:06:33 It is... a mark of something I achieved. May 08 15:07:32 You got to the top? May 08 15:07:36 * Morgan nods May 08 15:08:01 First foreigner... and then... I did it again a few days later. May 08 15:08:17 * Edward smiles May 08 15:08:28 Excellent, congratulations, brother May 08 15:08:33 * Morgan inclines his head May 08 15:09:15 Only managed it because of something Uinise, the envoy we are bringing back, said about the previous two who've climbed it finding it different the second time May 08 15:10:19 Your own time there has not been as frustrating as you expected then? May 08 15:11:20 Oh, very frustrating... but I've gotten some things done I wanted to get done... and a few things I didn't, but such is the way of the world May 08 15:12:29 * Edward nods May 08 15:12:45 What has been the most enjoyable part of your time there? May 08 15:13:50 * Morgan blushes May 08 15:14:09 Can I say following your advice and leave it there? May 08 15:15:11 * Edward laughs May 08 15:16:00 You touched a dragon, climbed an unscalable wall, but something else is the highlight? May 08 15:16:23 Accidentally teaching a talking bird to curse was quite a high too May 08 15:17:04 How did you do that? May 08 15:18:34 Should've kept that to myself... we were being... intimate... enthusiastically and all of a sudden from behind us we hear a bird shout 'fuck!' May 08 15:19:13 * Edward laughs May 08 15:19:44 That scuppered the boat then May 08 15:21:24 Not really May 08 15:23:14 What did you do with the bird? May 08 15:23:29 Ignored it until matters were taken care of May 08 15:24:18 * Edward laughs hard "Did you consider closing your bedroom window after that?" May 08 15:26:09 * Morgan blushes hard May 08 15:27:32 well... May 08 15:28:18 Oh... like that, is it? *he smirks* May 08 15:29:47 I suppose it is... May 08 15:31:21 * Edward nods May 08 15:31:36 It sounds like you have had a good time May 08 15:31:56 * Morgan nods May 08 15:32:03 For the most part, yes May 08 15:34:33 Good May 08 15:36:29 How is Mina? May 08 15:37:48 * Edward smiles "she is well. She read to me in quiet hour the letters that she had written to me when we were first courting" May 08 15:38:18 Thats romantic... before they just became obscene I assume May 08 15:39:58 * Edward smiles "not entirely" May 08 15:40:34 Somehow that does not surprise me May 08 15:41:56 * Edward nods May 08 15:42:35 It's very enjoyable. It challenges Mimi, and that is enjoyable too May 08 15:44:36 * Morgan nods May 08 15:44:46 I'm very much looking forward to seeing you in person May 08 15:44:58 * Edward nods May 08 15:45:48 Both of us. Mimi has made an order for a new dress for the baptisms May 08 15:46:09 * Morgan nods May 08 15:46:21 good. I know it will be difficult but... I miss you a great deal May 08 15:48:15 * Edward nods May 08 15:49:07 I miss you too. Florrie is waiting to meet me, and Mina will be along to help Molly host May 08 15:50:30 I've been thinking about Florries role in what is to come... May 08 15:51:09 Yes? May 08 15:52:21 While I've seen how she could be dangerous and effective in a fight... what if... what if she is to be part of what comes after? You know how badly Eisen suffered after the war... imagine how much easier that would be with people like Florrie walking about... May 08 15:54:32 * Edward nods May 08 15:54:39 I have tried not to think about it May 08 15:55:46 I don't have that luxury... but... it makes most sense, doesn't it May 08 15:55:57 * Edward nods May 08 15:56:03 It does, yes May 08 15:56:39 I think... next time we speak, it needs to be for longer... May 08 15:58:29 It will only be a few months until we can speak in person May 08 15:59:40 I know but... I don't intend to take you from time with your daughter to soothe an issue of mine. May 08 16:01:21 Will you have time during your duties? Molly and the boys will need your attention May 08 16:01:47 * Morgan shrugs May 08 16:02:02 Once I know how it feels to actually be doing the job, I'll know more definitely May 08 16:05:46 * Edward nods "wise" May 08 16:06:00 Wisdom beyond my ears... May 08 16:06:55 * Edward laughs May 08 16:07:45 Mother was looking forward to speaking to you May 08 16:08:38 * Morgan nods, checking the time May 08 16:08:45 I'm looking forward to hearing her voice again May 08 16:10:50 * Edward nods May 08 16:11:06 *he's got five minutes* May 08 16:11:23 Where are Molly and the children? May 08 16:11:42 Molly's just getting them up from their nap May 08 16:13:25 * Edward nods, smiling May 08 16:13:37 It must be nice to see your children each day May 08 16:14:30 * Morgan nods sadly May 08 16:15:32 Are you nervous about seeing her in person? May 08 16:16:30 No. I am nervous about -Mina- seeing her May 08 16:19:17 * Morgan nods May 08 16:20:26 All we can do is hope it goes well and ask Theus to help her deal with it May 08 16:21:52 * Edward nods, smiling May 08 16:22:21 I pray for her peace and healing every day. For yours too. May 08 16:23:16 I'm alright May 08 16:25:58 Perhaps it's working then May 08 16:26:45 Maybe. May 08 16:27:30 * Edward nods May 08 16:28:11 We will speak again once you are sailing. Please let Molly know this time suits well, and I will make time for her and the children any day she wishes May 08 16:28:29 * Morgan nods May 08 16:28:48 I'll pass that on. Take care brother, we will speak soon May 08 16:29:54 * Edward nods, covering the mirror May 08 16:30:24 * Morgan packs his away May 08 16:30:31 [who is next love?] May 08 16:32:23 *Molly comes out with the children* Your Mother next, my love May 08 16:32:37 * Morgan nods, getting her mirror setup May 08 16:33:16 * Edward is now known as Verity May 08 16:33:25 * Verity is waiting for him, sewing May 08 16:34:23 Good afternoon mother May 08 16:35:57 * Verity smiles, putting it in her lap May 08 16:36:08 Dear boy, gosh you look tanned! May 08 16:36:17 You think so? May 08 16:36:31 *Varick comes to sit in his lap* what about me, Grandma? May 08 16:37:05 * Verity smiles more "oh definitely, Varick! Have you been enjoying the sunshine's, both of you?" May 08 16:37:10 E: Bah! May 08 16:38:12 We've been doing quite a bit, haven't we? May 08 16:41:50 *Varick nods* we climbed, and we went in the pool, and we went in the sea, and we played on the beach May 08 16:43:27 * Verity smiles "That sounds very nice" May 08 16:43:53 V: There was a bird, and she talked to us May 08 16:44:13 How lovely. What did she talk about? May 08 16:44:25 [oh dear lord...] May 08 16:45:17 Food... then when it had had enough it said thanks May 08 16:47:06 * Verity smiles May 08 16:47:26 That's very polite. Are they kept as pets? May 08 16:47:52 *Molly carries Emil to the window, trying to keep a straight face* May 08 16:48:35 No, they're wild... huge too, about three feet May 08 16:50:24 That is a pity, imagine how much lovely company it would be for your Uncle May 08 16:51:09 * Morgan nods May 08 16:51:24 That hadn't occurred to me May 08 16:52:43 Have you set sail now? May 08 16:54:53 Tomorrow. There's a celebration tonight, then we'll set sail in the morning May 08 16:55:43 * Verity smiles "Will the children go too?" May 08 16:56:04 I think thats the plan... blossom? May 08 16:58:54 *Molly brings Emil over* Yes, they will, but we will see if they stay awake long May 08 17:01:34 * Morgan reaches out, tickling Emil's foot May 08 17:01:52 And then it'll be two weeks back to Jura, and another two to Avalon, thereabouts May 08 17:02:37 *Emil starts to laugh, which makes Verity laugh* May 08 17:02:50 Oh he's so darling! I cannot wait to meet him May 08 17:04:02 Not too long now May 08 17:05:23 * Verity nods May 08 17:07:18 I have heard from the priest at Kempten. Would the end of April be suitable for you for the Baptisms? May 08 17:08:31 That sounds reasonable I think... Molly? May 08 17:08:37 M: I did think perhaps towards the end of May...? May 08 17:10:22 I would advise against that, my dear. With His Grace hosting a wedding on June Seventh, many guests would be preparing for that travel. You wouldn't want to be seen to be taking attention from that, and you would want the highest chance of His Grace attending the Baptisms... May 08 17:12:31 That is a very good point May 08 17:16:01 M: *she nods* it is. I wish to get it right May 08 17:16:43 Edward will wish to see Florrie as soon as he can. Making the Baptism later will make it more difficult for him to be there May 08 17:17:05 * Morgan nods May 08 17:19:12 Thats a good point too... May 08 17:22:42 *Molly nods, gently bouncing Emil* The end of April then... would you mind making arrangements, please? It will be much swifter than us trying to do so when we arrive? Alerting the staff, sending out invitations? May 08 17:24:37 * Verity smiles, looking pleased "I would love to do this for you and be involved. Did you decide about Godparents?" May 08 17:25:18 No... I haven't had chance to discuss it with Molly, she's been so busy May 08 17:26:11 * Verity nods May 08 17:27:45 Very well. I will write today and let you know the date when it is confirmed May 08 17:28:21 * Morgan smiles May 08 17:28:24 Thank you mother May 08 17:28:56 M: That will be so much help, thank you May 08 17:30:13 V: I'm going to not be Vaticine anymore. Emil is going to stop being Atu'an. May 08 17:30:29 Atu'an? May 08 17:30:55 V: That means the people who follow the Goddess of Capperlucia May 08 17:31:51 Oh... I see May 08 17:32:38 M: it is assumed any child born from a Capperlucian woman is part of their faith May 08 17:33:03 * Morgan taps Varicks chest May 08 17:33:08 Its what's in here that counts May 08 17:34:50 V: *he nods* You made a promise to raise all your children Objectionist, that's me and Emil May 08 17:35:21 * Morgan nods May 08 17:35:22 Thats right May 08 17:37:57 *Emil reaches for Morgan* May 08 17:38:51 * Morgan reaches up to take him, managing to get both boys on his lap May 08 17:39:40 * Verity smiles "it's lovely to see you with them, dear boy" May 08 17:40:17 * Morgan nods May 08 17:40:34 They can be a real handful, but Varick is very good with helping with Emil May 08 17:42:05 V: *he puffs out his chest* I want to be the best brother in the world May 08 17:43:26 Doing really well at that... he helps me change Emil, and talks to him when he wakes up after his nap... May 08 17:47:10 * Verity smiles May 08 17:47:19 You're such a good boy, Varick May 08 17:47:47 *he looks proud* May 08 17:48:39 * Morgan squeezes him gently May 08 17:52:16 Jarvinia is well, she is keeping active. We have had the Koertig crib all polished and cleaned ready. May 08 17:58:19 * Morgan nods May 08 17:58:27 Good. Is she fed up of it yet? May 08 18:07:12 Yes, I'm afraid so. Grendlik is very eager to meet his child May 08 18:07:37 * Morgan nods May 08 18:07:39 I'm not surprised May 08 18:09:02 Marta seems very capable, she's spent some time in the village teaching our midwives and seeing the seven women who are currently increasing May 08 18:09:14 * Morgan nods May 08 18:09:20 We trust her skills implicitly May 08 18:10:17 * Verity nods "she has said that you and Molly had asked her to attend when your next child comes..." *she looks a little hopeful* May 08 18:14:40 When it happens, yes... May 08 18:17:09 * Verity smiles "Sascha is doing well too, Marta says her babies sound healthy and Sascha has felt them both move now" May 08 18:17:32 Excellent, I'm glad about that May 08 18:17:42 * Verity nods May 08 18:18:11 They would welcome anything you want to make for them May 08 18:19:28 * Morgan nods May 08 18:19:35 I'll try to make time to do so May 08 18:22:39 V: Vati is going to be the Captain tomorrow, and I have to call him Captain Vati *in a dream where Molly was with Seb, he and Dietlinde had four sons, one of his sons had called him that, a young man who looked like him except with Dietlinde's eyes* May 08 18:25:37 * Morgan looks away briefly May 08 18:25:42 As long as the crew don't call me that May 08 18:26:06 *Varick laughs* that would be funny! May 08 18:29:03 Could be aye May 08 18:30:49 * Verity gets drawn in to Varick telling her all about the wall and his friend there before he says "And Vati climbed it twice!" May 08 18:32:59 * Morgan nods May 08 18:33:01 I did May 08 18:35:44 Dear boy! That's wonderful! *she looks very proud of him* May 08 18:36:12 I was asked to write about the experience so it can go in the museum May 08 18:36:47 My little boy in a museum! How lovely May 08 18:37:09 *Varick giggles* He's not a little boy, Grandma! May 08 18:37:12 * Morgan smiles, looking both humbled and proud May 08 18:38:34 * Verity smiles "he will always be my baby, just as you will always be their little boy" May 08 18:41:09 V: *he nods, tickling Emil, making him laugh* May 08 18:41:37 M: My love, it's almost time to talk to Florrie May 08 18:41:59 * Morgan nods May 08 18:42:08 Alright love... mother, I'm afraid we'll have to go May 08 18:43:30 Yes, I will start my letters. Take care please May 08 18:44:39 We will mother. Love you May 08 18:44:52 I love you all too May 08 18:45:03 *everyone else says goodbye* May 08 18:45:17 * Morgan smiles slightly, covering the mirror May 08 18:45:28 Molly, could you setup the one for Florrie... my hands are a little full May 08 18:45:42 *Molly does so* May 08 18:46:15 * Verity is now known as Florrie May 08 18:46:39 * Florrie is waiting, and looks excited to see them all May 08 18:46:53 Hi Ballhead! May 08 18:47:15 Hello sweetheart... its good to see you May 08 18:47:50 * Florrie looks very much more healthy and filled out than when they met her May 08 18:48:00 Got bees now May 08 18:48:10 Have you? Thats wonderful May 08 18:48:31 Want more birds. How get birds, Varick? May 08 18:49:07 *they start chatting away about this. Emil tries to stand up on Morgan's leg* May 08 18:49:17 M: do you wish me to take him? May 08 18:49:26 Might be an idea... May 08 18:49:49 *Molly does so, but Emil protests about it* May 08 18:51:10 M: Come now, Lammchen... shall I feed you? *he plants his face in her cleavage* May 08 18:51:20 * Morgan laughs quietly May 08 18:51:35 [he takes after his Vati, hmm?] May 08 18:51:50 [evidently so] May 08 18:52:26 *Molly takes him to the window seat. The children converse happily about bird types* May 08 18:52:50 * Morgan relaxes, sipping his coffee as they chatter May 08 18:53:12 [Do you think... one of those birds would live in a hothouse?] May 08 18:54:24 [if you want to hear cries of "fuck!" in our hot house, I am happy to oblige you whenever you wish...] May 08 18:54:45 [I... yes, but... I was more thinking what mother said about Uncle Christopher May 08 18:56:08 [I don't see why not, really. But no one here would... I wonder if we could test that] May 08 18:58:22 [I should've asked how big the hot house is... it'd be cruel to put a bird in too small an enclosure] May 08 18:59:22 [you dreamt it, where we ended up having sex on a bench. How big was it?] May 08 18:59:38 [fairly huge] May 08 19:00:14 [you do mean the hot house, yes?] May 08 19:01:33 [obviously] May 08 19:02:20 [oh I don't know... from what you told me of that dream, it would have been quite... engaging] May 08 19:02:49 [I wonder if its worth suggesting to Betuana... or... someone... May 08 19:05:21 [it would be worth catching one, cooling a room, and magically checking its well-being] May 08 19:05:54 [to see if it would be alright outside of the hothouse?] May 08 19:06:13 [yes, as we will need to travel with it too] May 08 19:06:44 [good thinking. Not sure we'll have time for that...] May 08 19:07:57 [you would need to take Varick. Perhaps if you shout Fuck! she will come?] *she smiles, keeping her eyes on the baby at her breast* May 08 19:08:35 [I don't want to take -that- one] May 08 19:08:53 [it solves that problem too though] May 08 19:09:59 [Yes... until it gets to Florrie... or my uncle] May 08 19:10:45 [Florrie wouldn't understand the Eisen, and I rather imagine your Uncle finding it oddly amusing] May 08 19:11:10 [I don't know kidnapping a bird would be all that wise for trade] May 08 19:11:52 [would you have me ask at the feast?] May 08 19:12:10 [I think so. Would be worth finding out if its a possibility first] May 08 19:12:44 [alright. We can always release it if she says no] May 08 19:13:41 * Morgan nods slightly, watching Florrie and Varick talking May 08 19:13:59 *Alice joins them* May 08 19:14:13 A: hello Morgan, how are you? May 08 19:16:39 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) May 08 19:17:21 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 08 19:22:21 Hello Alice... I'm well, thank you. You? May 08 19:23:11 A: the same May 08 19:23:22 * Morgan nods May 08 19:23:32 Good. Everyone is well? May 08 19:26:45 A: We are, yes May 08 19:27:58 We are due to sail tomorrow May 08 19:28:28 A: so soon? May 08 19:29:11 * Morgan nods May 08 19:30:00 Molly did an amazing job of getting things in place May 08 19:30:51 A: I knew she would, women are excellent negotiators given a chance May 08 19:31:30 * Morgan nods May 08 19:31:50 No argument from me there May 08 19:32:34 When come Morgan's Sock? May 08 19:33:37 About four weeks now sweetheart May 08 19:33:59 Got seeds? May 08 19:34:35 Don't worry, we got some fir you May 08 19:34:49 * Florrie looks pleased May 08 19:35:06 Grow big May 08 19:35:13 * Morgan nods May 08 19:35:17 That'll be good May 08 19:35:51 A: I'll make sure we're ready to go when you get here May 08 19:36:57 We'll want a day or two... we're going to have an envoy and I'll introduce her to Lady Torrington May 08 19:37:26 A: Will you want the main house cleaning? May 08 19:38:28 Ummm... I don't know... I'm not sure its worth hauling our stuff up there to sail again so soon May 08 19:39:09 A: I think that makes sense May 08 19:39:31 Figured the sailor in you would see the sense in it May 08 19:40:07 Maybe have the kitchen and dining room cleaned so we've space to eat together May 08 19:40:51 A: We might fit you here at the farmhouse May 08 19:41:47 * Morgan nods May 08 19:41:50 alright May 08 19:44:17 A: the Forresters are well May 08 19:44:40 You've heard from them? May 08 19:44:52 Oh... -those- Forresters May 08 19:45:01 * Morgan smiles May 08 19:46:01 A: Peter and James, yes May 08 19:48:14 * Morgan nods May 08 19:48:34 good... I imagine we'll be visiting them when we arrive May 08 19:49:17 A: I'm sure they'd like that. Joseph is almost walking now May 08 19:50:31 Times going so quickly May 08 19:51:02 A: They grow quickly around a year old May 08 19:52:04 * Morgan nods May 08 19:52:32 Emil is making efforts at standing, so I don't imagine it'll be too long for him May 08 20:00:21 A: then he will want to walk everywhere but at a snail's pace May 08 20:02:19 * Morgan nods May 08 20:02:26 Best not let him lead any processions then May 08 20:03:35 *Alice laughs. Florrie is pulling faces at Varick* May 08 20:04:39 * Morgan watches Florrie a moment before glancing at Varick May 08 20:05:06 *Varick is doing the same * May 08 20:06:13 What are you pair up to? May 08 20:07:46 *both children giggle. Florrie's laugh is more mature than Jana's, an older toddler's laugh, not that of one not long into toddlerhood May 08 20:07:57 V: we're playing May 08 20:08:24 * Morgan nods May 08 20:08:27 I see... May 08 20:08:58 Make face, ballhead May 08 20:11:00 I've already got a face... *he points to his face* see? May 08 20:11:36 * Florrie laughs May 08 20:12:16 Make silly face! May 08 20:13:26 * Morgan smiles before going half crosseyed May 08 20:13:46 * Florrie laughs, head thrown back May 08 20:14:58 * Morgan watches her fondly May 08 20:15:22 * Florrie sticks her tongue out at him, pulling down at her eyes May 08 20:15:45 * Morgan laughs May 08 20:15:47 Gruesome May 08 20:15:55 What mean? May 08 20:16:55 hmmm... what does it mean.... May 08 20:17:37 V: it means a bit disgusting May 08 20:18:03 But funny as well this time May 08 20:18:55 * Florrie nods "ballhead funny" May 08 20:19:06 * Morgan smiles May 08 20:20:05 A: You must have a lot to do if your sailing is imminent May 08 20:20:47 We've got a few bits left to do, we're fairly well sorted. And there's a celebration tonight May 08 20:21:50 A: I hope you have a good night May 08 20:22:13 * Morgan smiles May 08 20:22:40 We'll let you get on. I might not got to speak to you before we reach you... but I'll be thinking of you all May 08 20:23:37 * Florrie frowns May 08 20:23:43 Why not see Ballhead? May 08 20:24:07 I'm going to be running the ship on the way, sweetheart, so I'm going to be very busy doing a lot of shifts May 08 20:24:16 * Florrie looks sad May 08 20:24:24 Want see Ballhead! May 08 20:24:43 I will try my very best to see you sweetheart, I promise May 08 20:25:19 * Florrie looks like she might cry May 08 20:25:45 V: It's okay, I will talk to you every other day, okay, Florrie? May 08 20:25:56 See Varick? May 08 20:26:15 * Morgan nods May 08 20:26:23 And Molly and Emil if you like May 08 20:26:56 * Florrie nods May 08 20:27:12 See Eel May 08 20:27:45 * Morgan opens his mouth but just smiles May 08 20:27:54 Alright sweetheart May 08 20:28:13 Okay love you bye May 08 20:28:35 A: *She smiles* I think we are going now. Safe travels May 08 20:29:19 * Morgan thanks them, sending their love before covering the mirror May 08 20:30:11 * Florrie is now known as Molly May 08 20:30:28 [are you alright?] May 08 20:30:44 [I hate seeing her upset] May 08 20:31:20 [what do you need, my love? A cuddle?] May 08 20:31:59 * Morgan puts his chin to Varicks head, rocking slightly May 08 20:32:06 That was very kind of you Varick May 08 20:32:24 V: I didn't want her to be sad May 08 20:32:45 * Morgan nods May 08 20:32:54 You're a very good cousin as well as a brother May 08 20:33:08 *Varick smiles* I'm kind like you May 08 20:34:28 You are very kind May 08 20:34:51 V: what can we do now? May 08 20:35:00 [the bird?] May 08 20:35:37 [if you wish, my love] May 08 20:36:37 well... I was thinking... maybe we could go persuade that bird to come with us... but we'd need to find out if it would be alright in the colder air... May 08 20:37:01 V: how will we do that? May 08 20:37:52 well... if we can persuade it, we can make a room colder, and mama can check its alright and you can ask it if its alright... May 08 20:38:42 *Varick looks excited* okay, Vati! May 08 20:39:40 Now, do we bring it here... or... try to use one of the rooms at the house? May 08 20:40:14 At the house would make more sense in case you need to let it free May 08 20:41:35 * Morgan nods May 08 20:41:39 Lets get our things together then May 08 20:43:57 *they get all packed up, and walk back towards the house again. Emil says Bah! once Varick starts concentrating on the bushes* May 08 20:44:58 * Morgan smiles, tickling the boys foot while he watches Varick May 08 20:45:35 *Varick goes poking around the bushes until a bird follows him out* May 08 20:46:20 Think it understands what we're going to do? May 08 20:47:48 *Varick crouches down looking at it* May 08 20:47:54 I expect it will do May 08 20:48:11 * Morgan nods May 08 20:49:06 Everyone seemed well? May 08 20:49:17 * Morgan nods May 08 20:49:41 Edward was telling Mina she is the best thing that ever happened to him... don't think he realised the mirror was uncovered May 08 20:49:57 I was concerned they are at odds but... apparently not May 08 20:51:09 What tells you they aren't? May 08 20:51:22 * Morgan shrugs May 08 20:51:31 Maybe I am just misreading what he was saying to her May 08 20:52:23 You thought he was trying to reassure her when perhaps he was just openly wooing her? May 08 20:52:49 * Morgan nods May 08 20:53:05 She had been reading the letters she wrote to him... May 08 20:53:25 That's sweet May 08 20:53:30 * Morgan nods May 08 20:54:40 Perhaps they were having a sweet moment May 08 20:56:10 * Morgan nods May 08 20:56:12 Probably May 08 20:57:16 * Molly smiles "she has said that Edward is quite the romantic" May 08 20:57:51 * Morgan nods May 08 20:58:08 aye... he's always been better at that sort of thing than me... and dealing with people May 08 20:59:06 You are a romantic, you're just quieter, that's all May 08 20:59:57 * Morgan nods May 08 20:59:59 I suppose so May 08 21:00:55 You envy him that? May 08 21:01:33 * Morgan shrugs May 08 21:01:45 Some May 08 21:02:26 V: Okay, she's going to come with us May 08 21:04:35 * Morgan nods May 08 21:04:41 good... lets get to the house May 08 21:05:25 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) May 08 21:08:57 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 08 21:09:38 *its empty there, just as they left it. The bird flies there, meeting them on the porch* May 08 21:12:21 Does it know what we're going to do Varick? May 08 21:13:32 V: she knows we'll put her in a room, but she doesn't understand what cold is May 08 21:15:03 * Morgan nods May 08 21:15:09 Ok, lets get it done then May 08 21:16:04 * MollyK leads through with Emil to the small servants room at the back, the smallest space May 08 21:16:27 * Morgan nods May 08 21:16:31 I can work with this May 08 21:21:21 * MollyK , Emil, and Varick sit on the floor by the bird May 08 21:21:31 E: Bir... bir... May 08 21:21:40 Bird, thats right May 08 21:21:48 Ok, are we ready? May 08 21:23:54 * MollyK nods May 08 21:24:39 * Morgan concentrates on cooling the room several degrees May 08 21:24:51 E: Bah! Bah! May 08 21:25:57 *the bird looks fine* ((assuming it's about 30 to start with, what does he take it to?)) May 08 21:26:44 ((26ish)) May 08 21:37:17 *it seems happy * May 08 21:37:48 * Morgan drops it another three or four degrees May 08 21:43:33 *she still looks contented* May 08 21:43:50 V: she can tell it's colder May 08 21:44:03 * Morgan nods May 08 21:44:05 Is she alright? May 08 21:44:17 *Varick nods* May 08 21:44:37 It will be quite a bit colder in Catterick, won't it? May 08 21:45:47 * Morgan nods, moving the temperature closer May 08 21:47:14 *at about fifteen, everyone has goosebumps. The bird looks a bit spooked* May 08 21:47:40 * MollyK touches the bird, and Morgan's neck prickles May 08 21:48:54 Hmm... Varick, can you work with me? Concentrate on sensing what you can about her body and her mind, okay? *Varick also puts his hands on the bird. Molly nods a little* May 08 21:49:33 Can you go any colder? *Emil starts crawling away towards Morgan* May 08 21:49:57 * Morgan nods, bending to pick up Emil before pushing the temperature down some more May 08 21:50:37 *the bird squawks* May 08 21:50:51 Alright... bring it slowly up to normal please May 08 21:51:07 * Morgan nods, concentrating May 08 21:51:27 *Emil touches his face* Bah May 08 21:52:10 *when it gets warmer, Molly looks to Varick* can you reassure her that everything is okay, and thank her? May 08 21:52:36 *Varick nods, concentrating on the bird* May 08 21:52:38 * Morgan kisses Emil's hand before looking back to Molly May 08 21:53:05 *After a few moments, the bird says "thank you welcome" in Capperlucian May 08 21:53:28 E: *he looks delighted* Bir! May 08 21:53:30 * Morgan pulls some seeds from his pocket, dropping it for the bird May 08 21:53:50 B: Food *she strolls over* May 08 21:54:03 How old is she, Varick? May 08 21:54:27 *Varick concentrates again* May 08 21:55:44 V: about five, Mama May 08 21:56:15 * MollyK nods, looking to Morgan May 08 21:56:40 I would assume that she might well live with the children one day May 08 21:56:54 They live that long? May 08 21:57:03 To around fifty May 08 21:57:11 * Morgan looks stunned May 08 21:57:19 She, uhh... she didn't like the cold at all May 08 21:58:58 She has never felt it before. Her body was fine, and would adapt, with gradual introduction. But I think she would be better living in the house in winter, rather than in the hot house, unless your uncle will keep it heated May 08 21:59:47 *Emil tries to get down* May 08 22:00:08 * Morgan lets him down gently May 08 22:00:18 Right... May 08 22:01:08 *Emil goes to touch the bird* Bir... May 08 22:01:26 * Morgan kneels quickly beside him May 08 22:01:33 Gently Emil, gently... May 08 22:05:03 *the bird watches him. Emil puts his hand on the bird's wing* May 08 22:05:44 * Morgan gently runs the back of a finger down the birds wing, demonstrating May 08 22:05:48 Thats it, gently... May 08 22:06:29 E: Bir... May 08 22:06:40 * MollyK watches them fondly May 08 22:06:56 Bird... May 08 22:08:15 E: Bir... *his fingers start to tighten* May 08 22:08:50 Ah ah, gentle... May 08 22:09:01 *the bird watches the baby before dropping some seeds by him before starting to eat again* May 08 22:09:03 * Morgan gets a finger under Emil's hand, lifting it slightly May 08 22:10:25 *Emil grizzles, trying to get Morgan's hand away* May 08 22:10:43 I know, I know... but... gentle... May 08 22:12:06 E: Bir!! May 08 22:14:22 V: what now, Vati? May 08 22:14:40 * Morgan moves his hand, watching Emil's closely May 08 22:14:47 I don't know... what do you think Molly? May 08 22:15:51 I think that we could try. If needs be, we can build her a warm nest and she can come back with Sorgi once they leave Freiburg May 08 22:16:17 Would she let us? May 08 22:17:36 * MollyK looks to Varick May 08 22:17:59 Mauschen, will she come would she come with us? May 08 22:18:33 *Emil gently pats the bird, shrieking with excitement* Bir! Bir! May 08 22:19:57 Thats it, gentle hands May 08 22:20:46 V: We would need lots of seeds for her, and some big branches for her to sit in May 08 22:21:31 Could probably arrange that for the trip.... May 08 22:22:15 V: I think she would May 08 22:23:11 * Morgan nods, looking at Molly May 08 22:23:14 What do you think? May 08 22:23:36 * MollyK smiles May 08 22:23:50 What's one more extra passenger, hmm? May 08 22:24:55 Speak to Betuana later? May 08 22:25:24 I will, yes May 08 22:26:11 * Morgan nods May 08 22:26:17 Alright love May 08 22:27:14 *the bird looks to Morgan* thank you May 08 22:27:35 * Morgan smiles May 08 22:27:36 Welcome May 08 22:28:04 *the bird strolls out of the back door. Emil cries "Bir! Bir!" May 08 22:28:18 * Morgan picks him up, throwing him in the air before catching him May 08 22:28:30 V: We need to collect long branches, Vari May 08 22:28:39 * Morgan nods May 08 22:28:58 Aye, lets get to that shall we, so we can get mama back in time for the person coming to help her for the feast May 08 22:32:08 * MollyK puts Emil in the wrap, and they find several long branches and smaller ones that they plan how to tie together to make an area in the corner of the study for the bird. They get this made whilst Molly feeds and entertains Emil. Once the maids come to help prepare Molly, Inga is back and joins them in the bedroom. HH looks at the branches May 08 22:32:11 * MollyK is now known as HH May 08 22:32:30 Not sure what yer buildin' May 08 22:33:03 Oh, that... no idea, we came back and there it was May 08 22:34:16 $looks like something you might tie a lady to$ May 08 22:35:14 We're wondering about taking the bird with us... to maybe live with my uncle... May 08 22:36:09 Th' one that came into th' house loads? May 08 22:36:15 * Morgan nods May 08 22:38:55 $the one that curses?$ May 08 22:40:00 $yeah we're going to work on that$ May 08 22:41:07 * HH shrugs May 08 22:41:20 Alright then May 08 22:41:47 Assuming the queen agrees of course May 08 22:42:17 Y' gon' sweet talk 'er then? May 08 22:42:47 I'll be busy being quiet and unobtrusive May 08 22:43:43 I need to talk to Sorgi... can you hang on here with the boys? May 08 22:44:00 * HH nods May 08 22:44:11 Yep, I'm good here May 08 22:44:47 * Morgan pats his arm before heading off to find Sorgi May 08 22:44:58 * HH is now known as Sorgi May 08 22:45:05 * Sorgi is on deck May 08 22:45:11 * Morgan wanders over May 08 22:45:23 Captain... do you have a moment to give me some advice? May 08 22:46:19 * Sorgi nods, moving to one side May 08 22:46:25 Of course, m'lord May 08 22:48:28 A normal Monday would see me working morning, then afternoon through first dogs... but I don't see you going off shift when we're setting sail or before we're out of the shallows... May 08 22:49:20 You'll be Captain at four o'clock, m'lord. It's up to you then May 08 22:50:15 What would -you- do? May 08 22:50:52 Work together on it May 08 22:51:10 How do you mean? May 08 22:51:56 I would put me on deck as second in command, and I'll be your right hand man May 08 22:54:04 * Morgan nods May 08 22:54:13 How long do you anticipate it taking to clear the shallows? May 08 22:54:30 Two hours to be sure May 08 22:54:45 Its going to be a long first day May 08 22:54:50 * Sorgi nods May 08 22:55:02 That is the life of a Captain May 08 22:55:33 * Morgan nods May 08 22:55:48 I'm... unsettled about it... May 08 22:56:38 * Sorgi nods May 08 22:56:56 It's a challenge the first time May 08 22:57:31 * Morgan nods May 08 22:57:38 Thank you, captain, for your advice May 08 22:57:47 * Sorgi nods May 08 22:58:13 You're welcome, m'lord. Claudia will be going to the feast May 08 22:58:20 Oh? May 08 22:59:31 Uinise invited her. But I will be watching the crew here, so there's no need for concern May 08 22:59:43 * Morgan nods May 08 23:00:51 I don't know if they're planning to see us off, so I'm not sure of our departure time yet May 08 23:01:30 * Sorgi nods May 08 23:01:45 I'll prepare for first light, and you can decide from there May 08 23:02:00 * Morgan nods May 08 23:02:08 I might suggest they expand their berth... May 08 23:02:18 * Sorgi nods May 08 23:02:38 It would make it easier May 08 23:03:07 * Morgan nods May 08 23:03:17 I did not envy you having to dock her May 08 23:03:26 * Morgan looks round, keeping an eye out for Brun May 08 23:03:41 * Sorgi nods "I've had easier" May 08 23:03:57 *Brun is checking some ropes over* May 08 23:04:09 Where are we planning to hand back command? May 08 23:04:57 At Morgan's Rock, I believe May 08 23:05:07 You too, Sorgi?! May 08 23:05:31 M'Lord? May 08 23:06:18 Its called Lundy... May 08 23:07:15 I assumed you had chosen to rename it as that is what everyone calls it May 08 23:07:46 I've just given up correcting them *he smiles* I suppose it'll stick... since the people living on it probably call it that by now May 08 23:07:59 Except my niece who seems to think its called Morgans Sock May 08 23:08:54 * Sorgi smiles "sweet girl" May 08 23:09:49 She's a darling. Alright, I'm going to have a quick word with Brun... once we reach Freiburg, can you spare him? May 08 23:10:46 * Sorgi nods May 08 23:10:49 I can May 08 23:11:33 We'll discuss what'll happen between getting home and the next sailing for Capperlucia in a few days May 08 23:12:00 * Sorgi nods May 08 23:12:10 I'll be available May 08 23:12:55 Bit more time on your hands from tomorrow huh May 08 23:13:07 * Sorgi nods May 08 23:13:11 I will, yes May 08 23:13:55 * Morgan nods May 08 23:14:43 Thank you for your advice the other day... who'd have thought an objectionist would go to a Vaticine for theological guidance May 08 23:16:24 * Sorgi smiles "Sometimes wisdom is found in odd places" May 08 23:16:41 * Morgan nods, squeezing the mans shoulder May 08 23:16:45 Excuse me... May 08 23:17:35 * Sorgi nods May 08 23:17:39 * Sorgi is now known as Brun May 08 23:17:53 * Brun is examining the rope closely May 08 23:18:00 Brun, a word? May 08 23:19:00 * Brun looks up May 08 23:19:05 Yes, my Lord? May 08 23:20:07 When we get back to Eisen, I anticipate the Rose running some cargo before its return to Capperlucia... you won't be onboard. I intend to have you working with Witts, learning the intricacies of being a man of business... i May 08 23:20:24 * Brun nods May 08 23:20:31 Yes, my Lord May 08 23:21:28 The trade here is fairly simple so it won't be difficult, given we are all minded to fairness. Now, in terms of other duties... I'll want you to care for the house here... which will mean staying there... May 08 23:21:54 * Brun looks grateful May 08 23:22:17 Thank you, my Lord May 08 23:22:28 * Morgan nods May 08 23:22:53 And we're hoping to take the bird that shouts fuck at people with us.

Bir! May 08 23:28:53 * Morgan watches him for a moment May 08 23:29:03 Ah man I can't wait for you to have kids May 08 23:29:44 * HH looks over, grinning May 08 23:30:12 B'cause I'd have someone m' own mental age to hang out with, right?
