**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu May 11 00:00:13 2023 May 11 00:00:13 Thats the plan, yes... but we'll see May 11 00:00:31 I want to marry for love, like you did May 11 00:00:48 * Morgan nods May 11 00:01:01 I know... but its not always simple May 11 00:01:25 Auntie Jarvie isn't married, and she has a good life travelling May 11 00:01:38 Its very unusual May 11 00:01:52 Maybe I'm unusual too? May 11 00:02:55 * Morgan shrugs May 11 00:03:05 Maybe... we'll see in a few years I suppose May 11 00:03:37 How old do you have to be to know -who- you are? May 11 00:04:14 Thats really tough to say... I think it changes as we grow May 11 00:04:26 * Jana nods May 11 00:04:43 Did you know who you were when you married Muti? May 11 00:05:08 Fairly sure, yes... but who we are changes love May 11 00:05:31 I don't want to get married before I know who I am May 11 00:05:48 * Morgan nods May 11 00:05:51 I understand that May 11 00:06:24 I especially don't want to get married to a man who doesn't climb trees and has no imagination May 11 00:06:57 Oh, no, that would be -awful- May 11 00:07:03 * Jana nods May 11 00:07:18 Or someone old! Like, over twenty May 11 00:07:31 Oh thats just -ancient- May 11 00:07:42 * Jana nods May 11 00:08:15 He can't be shorter than me. And he'd have to let me have a saddle where I can ride astride May 11 00:08:46 All reasonable May 11 00:09:01 * Jana thinks May 11 00:09:38 He needs to be generous to his staff, kind to his tenant's, and like to sail May 11 00:09:48 * Morgan nods May 11 00:09:54 Sounds good... May 11 00:10:26 He needs to like nice clothes, but not so much it takes him longer to get ready than me May 11 00:10:56 * Morgan nods May 11 00:11:02 So not like uncle Edward May 11 00:11:13 * Jana laughs May 11 00:11:26 Someone less vain May 11 00:11:37 * Morgan nods May 11 00:11:39 Good idea May 11 00:12:42 Someone who doesn't want eleven babies *she watches him from the corner of her eye* May 11 00:12:53 * Morgan nods May 11 00:12:56 Thats just unreasonable May 11 00:13:02 * Jana nods May 11 00:13:41 That's a lot. You don't need any more, you already have the best ones May 11 00:14:05 * Morgan laughs May 11 00:14:20 You've been hanging around HeinzHarold too much May 11 00:14:49 * Jana nods "we all have" May 11 00:15:08 * Morgan nods May 11 00:17:05 * Jana heads for Dietlinde's grave. It's in a different position here, the headstone more ornate. She sits on it where there are two patches of worn grass, as if they do it often May 11 00:17:29 * Morgan sits down May 11 00:17:47 Do you think she's watching us from heaven today? May 11 00:18:02 * Morgan nods May 11 00:18:06 I think so, yes May 11 00:18:16 * Jana nods, smiling May 11 00:18:31 Do you think it's nice up there? May 11 00:19:04 * Morgan nods May 11 00:19:13 I do... they don't call it paradise for nothing May 11 00:19:20 * Jana nods May 11 00:19:36 Is our first home up there too? May 11 00:20:06 Maybe... think she'd be happiest there? May 11 00:20:14 * Jana nods May 11 00:20:57 She'd be making the house ready. Maybe sewing some curtains or embroidering some tablecloths, sitting out in the sunshine May 11 00:21:37 * Morgan nods May 11 00:21:53 yeah May 11 00:22:43 * Jana moves so she's resting against him May 11 00:23:04 I think she'd be happy that we're happy May 11 00:23:10 * Morgan nods May 11 00:23:21 Yes, I think so... she'd never want us to be unhappy, not at all May 11 00:23:28 * Jana nods May 11 00:24:15 One day, I'll get to meet her again May 11 00:24:55 * Morgan nods May 11 00:24:58 eventually May 11 00:25:14 * Jana nods May 11 00:25:25 When I am a very old lady May 11 00:25:40 * Morgan nods May 11 00:25:42 Exactly May 11 00:26:22 I am going to live in the woods then, and everyone will respect me because they think I'm a witch May 11 00:26:38 * Morgan blinks May 11 00:26:50 Oh... I see... May 11 00:27:42 * Jana looks at him before giggling May 11 00:27:48 Not really, Vati! May 11 00:28:22 You little minx! May 11 00:28:42 * Jana laughs more, elbowing him in the side May 11 00:28:47 I got you! May 11 00:29:04 * Morgan laughs, gathering her into his lap to cuddle her May 11 00:29:22 * Jana hugs him May 11 00:29:37 I'm getting a bit grown up for this, aren't I? May 11 00:29:49 You'll never been too grown up for this May 11 00:30:45 * Jana nods, hugging him quietly. For a few minutes, they stay like that before she says "love you, Vati" May 11 00:30:57 I love you too, always May 11 00:31:30 *he gets another minute before Madchen appear at his side* May 11 00:31:37 M: it time now May 11 00:31:56 * Morgan nods, kissing Jana's crown before doing the same with Madchen May 11 00:32:31 M: Wake up now. Love Vati, see soon May 11 00:32:45 Love you too sweetheart. See you soon. May 11 00:32:49 * Morgan tries to wake up May 11 00:33:04 *he does so. Molly isn't in bed* May 11 00:34:11 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) May 11 00:36:53 * Jana has quit (Read error: EOF from client) May 11 08:58:18 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 11 09:00:08 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 11 09:02:59 * Morgan pulls his clothes on May 11 09:03:03 [are you alright?] May 11 09:06:41 * MollyK comes out from behind the privacy screen, drying her hands "no, not really. Are you?" May 11 09:07:08 What's wrong? May 11 09:07:19 A path, that's all May 11 09:08:31 Obviously its more than just 'thats all' May 11 09:11:26 * MollyK shrugs "I wouldn't want to upset you, not today" May 11 09:11:55 Bit late for that... come on May 11 09:14:57 I was at Die Dauerhaftigkeit... it was more of the thread where we'd just had Madchen and Mina was increasing and you were already Graf Sudlachenburg May 11 09:15:25 Jana's birthday? May 11 09:15:48 Yes-... oh, damn. May 11 09:16:40 -just- had Madchen? Looked about two and a half to me May 11 09:19:27 It was further along the same path *she sighs* I'm sorry, my love May 11 09:20:12 * Morgan shrugs May 11 09:20:24 It is what it is May 11 09:21:37 * MollyK opens her arms to him May 11 09:21:45 * Morgan moves to cuddle her May 11 09:22:20 I got to spend some time with my daughter, to experience how -funny- she would've been. Its sad but... its not, at the same time May 11 09:22:35 * MollyK holds him tight May 11 09:24:25 I suppose so. She looked so beautiful, and I couldn't help but worry for her, for how unkind the world can be, and whether she'd have a happy marriage when the time came and she was leaving home May 11 09:24:40 * Morgan nods May 11 09:24:51 I know. She and I talked about what she wanted in a man May 11 09:25:33 * MollyK nods sadly "it's such a wrench when it's over" May 11 09:25:47 * Morgan nods May 11 09:25:50 Yes, it is May 11 09:26:19 * MollyK wipes her eyes "how did you sleep otherwise?" May 11 09:27:14 * Morgan shrugs, moving to finish getting dressed May 11 09:27:22 As expected May 11 09:28:25 * MollyK nods May 11 09:28:40 But you weren't stuck? May 11 09:28:53 No, the pendant worked May 11 09:29:18 * MollyK nods "Good. Was it that same thread?" May 11 09:29:43 The one where we'd been banished to Catterick May 11 09:30:03 With the dreams? May 11 09:30:08 * Morgan nods May 11 09:34:05 * MollyK nods "Alright... you do not need me?" May 11 09:34:21 I need to get to work May 11 09:36:11 * MollyK nods, getting back in to the bed "yes, my love" May 11 09:36:39 Will you be alright? May 11 09:37:49 You need to get to work. Besides, you must be far more upset than I am May 11 09:38:23 We can talk about it later May 11 09:39:26 * MollyK nods May 11 09:39:44 You will nap after your shift, or later? May 11 09:39:54 We'll see how I feel May 11 09:40:52 * MollyK nods "yes, my love" May 11 09:42:02 * Morgan squares his shoulders May 11 09:42:16 I'll see you in a few hours love. Do you need me to wake Inga for you? May 11 09:42:38 No, it's far too early. I'll try to sleep May 11 09:42:54 * Morgan nods May 11 09:42:57 Alright love May 11 09:43:41 * MollyK lies back down May 11 09:44:11 * Morgan watches her for a moment May 11 09:44:14 I love you blossom May 11 09:44:52 * MollyK smiles "I love you too, liebes herz, so much" May 11 09:45:53 * Morgan smiles slightly before going through the galley then up on deck May 11 09:47:02 * MollyK is now known as Claudia May 11 09:47:33 * Claudia is up there, the one he's taking off from. The Rose is still moving, but about to come to a stop May 11 09:47:35 Hey May 11 09:47:43 hey May 11 09:49:46 How you doing? May 11 09:50:06 * Morgan glances at her May 11 09:50:10 Probably best not ask May 11 09:53:15 You know where and when you are, yeah? May 11 09:53:37 On a ship, early in the morning May 11 09:55:36 Okay. Do you need a hug? May 11 09:56:14 * Morgan sighs, nodding May 11 09:56:27 * Claudia hugs him May 11 09:57:39 * Morgan takes a deep breath May 11 09:57:49 alright. How's our girl? May 11 09:59:27 * Claudia lets go May 11 09:59:31 Our girl? May 11 10:00:01 The ship May 11 10:01:37 * Claudia nods May 11 10:01:52 Making good speed still. It's been quiet May 11 10:02:13 * Morgan nods May 11 10:02:14 good May 11 10:05:13 Thought you were talking about Uinise May 11 10:06:18 * Morgan nods May 11 10:06:27 I assumed you'd just tell me if there was an issue... May 11 10:07:20 * Claudia shakes her head "no issue, just... yeah. I still like her" May 11 10:07:38 Don't see that changing, not like she's going to get taller May 11 10:09:08 * Claudia nods May 11 10:09:50 Yeah. Still mispronounces my name and wants me to pronounce Eisen words for her May 11 10:10:06 Yet you haven't corrected her... May 11 10:11:45 * Claudia shakes her head May 11 10:11:48 Nope May 11 10:12:00 Why? May 11 10:14:10 I guess it's kinda sweet May 11 10:14:25 oh... you -like- it May 11 10:15:09 * Claudia shrugs "I like -her-" May 11 10:15:51 You like me, but you'd hit me if I pronounced it like that May 11 10:17:47 * Claudia nods "yeah" May 11 10:19:25 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee May 11 10:19:32 Alright, bugger off and get some sleep May 11 10:19:47 You're going to be okay? May 11 10:19:53 I'll manage May 11 10:21:45 * Claudia nods, going below. His watch is straightforward, and he gets time to have breakfast before deciding whether to nap or not May 11 10:23:32 * Morgan goes down to the hold, finding a couple of small pieces of wood to carve into rattles May 11 10:25:12 *the only company down there is chickens and goats* May 11 10:25:36 * Morgan takes the things back to his study, sitting at his desk with coffee as he carves May 11 10:29:13 *the others are there, but they're all doing quiet activities. Molly has Emil on her chest, quietly reading aloud to him on the window seat May 11 10:31:20 * Morgan hums quietly May 11 10:33:00 * Claudia is now known as Molly May 11 10:34:09 * Molly gets breakfast for the others, and Inga takes over with Emil. It's not until later that the blonde woman catches him alone and hugs him spontaneously May 11 10:34:13 * Molly is now known as Inga May 11 10:36:20 * Morgan cuddles her May 11 10:37:55 I thought you'd need it today May 11 10:38:04 * Morgan nods May 11 10:38:07 I'm alright love May 11 10:39:08 People say that when they're not okay inside but don't want to admit it to themselves May 11 10:40:10 * Morgan sighs, nodding May 11 10:40:13 I suppose they do May 11 10:42:46 It's okay to be sad about things, and about Molly not being with child May 11 10:44:01 * Morgan nods May 11 10:44:15 I'm tired of being sad about things all the time... May 11 10:45:23 I don't think you get to choose about it. I still feel sad about losing my parents, and I never even knew them May 11 10:46:48 * Morgan nods May 11 10:46:59 It'd be easier if I wasn't forced to see what could have been May 11 10:48:21 Oh no, the nightmares are back already? May 11 10:48:36 * Morgan nods May 11 10:48:43 I'm surprised they stayed away this long May 11 10:50:46 * Inga nods May 11 10:51:15 Do you think they'll be back for good now? May 11 10:51:31 * Morgan nods May 11 10:51:38 Yes. I do. May 11 10:53:05 * Inga looks sad May 11 10:53:13 How can Heinzharold and I help you? May 11 10:53:32 * Morgan shrugs May 11 10:53:59 I wish I knew love. Molly's feeling sad, she saw a path where the children lived... May 11 10:54:38 * Inga nods "She's had those before" May 11 10:55:01 * Morgan nods May 11 10:55:06 I don't think was expecting it May 11 10:56:38 I will talk with her if you like? May 11 10:56:59 I think that'd help her May 11 10:58:32 * Inga nods May 11 10:59:04 Are you staying for the day, or do you need to be alone? May 11 10:59:48 I'm staying. Hiding away doesn't help me at all May 11 11:01:49 * Inga nods May 11 11:02:12 The children like having you here too May 11 11:02:31 * Morgan nods May 11 11:06:18 * Inga squeezes him "we all love you, Morgan. You aren't alone" May 11 11:06:55 * Morgan nods May 11 11:07:09 I know, though these shifts are making it feel a bit like that May 11 11:09:57 Is it too much, maybe? May 11 11:10:46 Maybe. Its not for much longer May 11 11:11:30 * Inga nods May 11 11:11:43 Two days until Jura, then two more weeks? May 11 11:12:38 * Morgan nods May 11 11:12:47 Yeah, no more night sailing either May 11 11:13:42 Won't that mean you can work less then? May 11 11:15:16 No, the duty's still need to be observed May 11 11:16:20 * Inga nods May 11 11:16:52 Okay. I just thought maybe you'd be able to have normal sailors on the middle instead of someone superior May 11 11:17:47 Maybe... I'll have a think about it May 11 11:19:10 * Inga nods "Heinzharold would help, I could spare him" May 11 11:20:07 * Morgan nods May 11 11:20:17 Getting on your nerves a bit? May 11 11:22:34 * Inga smiles "sometimes I just want the bed to myself and to get good sleep" May 11 11:22:49 * Morgan nods May 11 11:22:57 Maybe I'll take him stargazing... May 11 11:24:34 * Inga nods "if he thinks you need company he'll definitely join you" May 11 11:25:04 * Morgan nods May 11 11:25:14 I'll get you a night of decent sleep May 11 11:27:21 Thank you. Going back to normal has been taking it's toll May 11 11:27:43 Oh? May 11 11:29:13 I got used to the herbs making it quick May 11 11:29:35 * Morgan nods May 11 11:29:56 But at least it means you are back to normal now... May 11 11:31:35 * Inga smiles May 11 11:31:48 It does. Are you alright about it? May 11 11:32:32 A little envious but... I know it isn't time for us to start that journey yet May 11 11:32:42 I am pleased for you, though May 11 11:34:03 * Inga nods "I wish it was time for you too" May 11 11:35:07 * Morgan nods, sighing May 11 11:35:23 I try not to dwell on it. Any of it. May 11 11:36:10 * Inga nods May 11 11:36:45 You have children to love here and now, maybe it's better to focus on that May 11 11:37:04 * Morgan nods May 11 11:37:07 Yeah, I agree May 11 11:41:42 *he gets to do that for the morning, helping Varick with his book, and walking Emil who wants to hold on to his hands because he can't coordinate enough to walk. The bird struts around like she owns the place, the cat still wary of her. She whistles and says her new Avalonian words. At lunch, she gets bits of food from everyone, and even follows May 11 11:41:42 Morgan in when he puts the children for their nap. When he kisses their crowns, she makes Muah! sounds May 11 11:42:31 * Morgan waits til they're asleep before ushering the bird out May 11 11:44:38 *she goes up on her branches. Molly has a cup of coffee that she gives him* May 11 11:44:42 * Inga is now known as Molly May 11 11:44:55 Your Mother will be there at two May 11 11:46:17 * Morgan nods, sighing May 11 11:46:20 Alright May 11 11:48:01 What would you like to do with quiet hour? May 11 11:48:24 * Morgan shrugs May 11 11:48:28 I don't know really May 11 11:50:06 * Molly nods "you are struggling?" May 11 11:50:58 Its just.. trying.. knowing its just the first couple and will continue indefinitely May 11 11:51:25 Maybe the Nibelungen have found something to stop it now May 11 11:52:43 I don't think so May 11 11:54:37 * Molly nods May 11 11:54:55 Do you... do you want to give it up, and go back to Capperlucia May 11 11:55:14 * Morgan sighs May 11 11:55:41 Its too hot there. And I'm -useless- there. And we'd only be there a few years before the world ends May 11 11:56:46 * Molly opens her arms to him May 11 11:56:55 * Morgan moves to cuddle her May 11 11:57:12 I'm so sorry. If I thought I could make this all go away for you, I would May 11 11:57:47 Someone could... if they could be bothered May 11 11:59:56 The Nibelungen? May 11 12:00:12 * Morgan sips his coffee May 11 12:00:22 I think this is a conversation you would do better not having love May 11 12:00:48 I don't want to be any more separated from you May 11 12:02:06 Its not -more- separated... just a continuation of a discussion we aren't having anyway May 11 12:02:53 It is a discussion you need to have, for your well-being? May 11 12:03:16 * Morgan shrugs May 11 12:03:20 I'm managing with it so far May 11 12:04:27 But today you have so much on your plate May 11 12:04:59 So do you May 11 12:07:15 * Molly shakes her head "I'm emotional from my course, and because it is so light when we hoped it would have been normal again. It makes me more upset about other things" May 11 12:08:27 Then you definitely don't need this on top May 11 12:09:48 But it I -do- need to feel close to you May 11 12:10:10 * Morgan nods, moving to sit down May 11 12:13:39 * Molly sits close beside him May 11 12:15:41 What is the point of power if you are unwilling to use it to help those in need? May 11 12:16:54 I have no idea, but people do have it and cling to it, don't they? May 11 12:18:04 I'm not talking about people May 11 12:21:21 The now looks? May 11 12:21:27 Nibelungen * May 11 12:22:03 No. Theus. May 11 12:23:16 * Molly nods May 11 12:23:23 It is a difficult thing May 11 12:36:09 Is it? May 11 12:37:01 How can he let so much suffering happen, especially to those who are faithful to him May 11 12:37:49 Is it that he cannot stop it? In which case, what right does he have calling himself god? Or that he won't... in which case, he is cruel or at best uncaring. May 11 12:39:04 * Molly nods May 11 12:39:51 It is understandable that you feel this, especially today May 11 12:41:05 Sorgi says that He could not get involved as the Capperlucians goddess does because there's so many of us... that it'd mean we don't have free will... in which case, not being able to balance both, he clearly isn't omnipotent May 11 12:44:43 But even with omnipotence, there are things that he could not do. If one man prays that a certain woman becomes his wife, and another man prays for the same woman, he could not give both what they wanted May 11 12:46:01 But he could make his presence felt... not just... abandon us May 11 12:47:45 Is it possible you have felt it and not realised? May 11 12:48:12 I've felt it... once. Just... once. May 11 12:49:42 When was it? May 11 12:50:31 In Graben May 11 12:50:58 Yet the Capperlucians... their goddess visits their dreams... not some intangible figure, they feel her love May 11 12:53:15 Do they, or do they imagine it? May 11 12:53:45 Do you know what signifies when they've been visited? May 11 12:54:12 No? May 11 12:54:32 Sand on their feet... May 11 12:54:47 * Morgan gets up, going to get the bottle of sand, placing it on the desk before he sits back down May 11 12:55:53 * Molly nods slowly May 11 12:56:03 Riiiight... May 11 12:57:17 That sand... was in my -hand- after I woke up May 11 12:57:58 Is it possible that you sleep-walked? May 11 12:58:41 I've never done it before. Our bed was covered in sand, and my hand was full of it... just... like... I asked.... May 11 12:59:57 * Molly nods, opening her arms to him again May 11 13:00:15 * Morgan moves into her arms May 11 13:00:17 Alright, my love... it's a big thing to deal with May 11 13:00:37 All this manoeuvring... it isn't the Nieblungens doing... they're the tools... May 11 13:00:55 Whose tools? May 11 13:01:15 You're sure you want me to answer that? You cannot unhave the answer May 11 13:01:21 * Molly nods May 11 13:01:40 I do not want you carrying anything this heavy alone any longer May 11 13:03:16 They are the tools of Theus... they might know, they might not... but... its not just Him... The faiths of people across the world, they aren't praying to nothing. May 11 13:04:51 * Molly nods May 11 13:05:08 I see May 11 13:06:15 * Morgan sighs, nodding May 11 13:07:43 Its all the manoeuvring of gods and goddesses... May 11 13:08:18 And they need -us-? May 11 13:08:35 Apparently. May 11 13:08:47 I have a horrible feeling its just some... fucking game to them May 11 13:09:23 It's... it's surprising May 11 13:09:59 * Morgan nods May 11 13:10:09 It put me into quite a troubled state May 11 13:12:45 * Molly nods May 11 13:12:56 I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you May 11 13:13:13 It was my choice love, you've nothing to be sorry for May 11 13:14:50 You met their Goddess... May 11 13:15:11 * Morgan nods May 11 13:15:13 Yes, I did May 11 13:16:39 What was she like? May 11 13:17:10 Very... maternal. May 11 13:18:43 * Molly nods May 11 13:18:50 That is what they say of her May 11 13:19:21 * Morgan nods May 11 13:19:38 They are correct. The little idol that Varick got us, thats not far wrong... apart from the size May 11 13:20:57 * Molly smiles slightly May 11 13:21:09 A pocket-sized Goddess would be unusual May 11 13:21:45 Claudia would probably like that though May 11 13:23:41 * Molly smiles May 11 13:24:00 It does sound like a description of Claudia's type May 11 13:25:15 * Morgan nods May 11 13:25:17 It really does May 11 13:26:43 * Molly exhales slowly May 11 13:26:51 Alright... what do we do? May 11 13:27:03 What -can- we do? May 11 13:28:49 That is true, but... I don't like feeling like I have no control May 11 13:29:54 No. I suppose we have the same control we always did. May 11 13:31:04 * Molly shrugs "we could threaten the Nibelungen though" May 11 13:31:32 * Morgan shrugs May 11 13:31:36 That has not changed May 11 13:32:52 But they may be less able to do anything May 11 13:33:23 * Morgan shrugs May 11 13:33:29 Thats their problem. May 11 13:35:37 * Molly nods May 11 13:36:09 The plan remains the same then. Get stronger, have babies, and face together whatever the future brings May 11 13:36:16 * Morgan nods May 11 13:36:40 Aye. May 11 13:39:32 It just raises big questions about religion? May 11 13:40:04 It raises questions about His integrity, his intent May 11 13:41:21 * Molly nods May 11 13:41:36 If she can be so involved and loving, why isn't he? May 11 13:42:55 * Morgan nods May 11 13:43:15 Aye. She exiled herself because of the behaviour of the others... May 11 13:44:45 * Molly nods May 11 13:44:54 I can understand that May 11 13:45:02 * Morgan nods May 11 13:47:20 You have never had these feelings before... May 11 13:48:41 * Morgan shrugs May 11 13:49:08 I have... once... now it seems... confirmed. May 11 13:49:28 That there may be other Gods than Theus? May 11 13:50:37 That he is definitely there... and just chooses or is unable to help his followers. May 11 13:52:14 When others do not May 11 13:52:39 * Morgan shrugs May 11 13:55:51 * Molly sighs May 11 13:56:05 I'm sorry you're having to deal with this May 11 13:56:25 * Morgan nods May 11 13:56:29 It is what it is May 11 13:59:14 Why did she come to you? May 11 14:00:15 She wanted to meet me, after I climbed the wall the second time. She wanted to meet me after seeing the marks of the alterations that have been made May 11 14:02:42 * Molly nods May 11 14:03:05 And she told you there were other deities? May 11 14:03:14 * Morgan nods May 11 14:03:36 Have you noticed that Capperlucian beliefs sit fairly closely with the old ways? May 11 14:04:39 * Molly nods "depending upon which branch of the old ways we're talking about, yes" May 11 14:05:00 Same goddess... have you ever heard of Fulla, goddess of plenty? May 11 14:08:29 No... but there was one in southern Avalon who was a goddess of plenty, bounty, and agricultural fertility called Lowena? May 11 14:08:42 Sounds about right doesn't it May 11 14:10:27 * Molly nods May 11 14:11:35 There are people who follow many different gods and goddesses in the old ways, and some who follow a divine feminine deity throughout all her aspects through the seasons of the year... May 11 14:11:49 * Morgan nods May 11 14:13:04 It would seem they are all... correct. May 11 14:15:25 * Molly nods a little "it's..." she sighs "it's so forbidden in Avalon, there's no one to really learn much from, unless one has a mentor. And Evie was the only person I knew at Catherine's who openly expressed such beliefs." May 11 14:15:50 * Morgan nods May 11 14:16:09 Edward was very worried when he found out I even knew about the old ways... May 11 14:16:27 Edward is very strong in his Faith May 11 14:17:16 * Morgan nods May 11 14:17:19 Yes he is May 11 14:17:47 You learnt in Avebury? May 11 14:17:57 * Morgan shrugs May 11 14:18:11 A lot of it... I've always had an interest in other faiths May 11 14:18:30 * Molly nods May 11 14:19:00 Certainly enough to not be completely appalled when you first learnt of my beliefs back them May 11 14:19:03 Then* May 11 14:19:20 No... but I wasn't exactly on good terms with Theus May 11 14:20:08 * Molly nods May 11 14:21:01 My absence was quite enduring, two years or so. I attended church only because I had to. My heart was not there May 11 14:21:46 * Morgan nods May 11 14:24:48 I... I don't know what to do with this new information May 11 14:26:20 * Morgan shrugs May 11 14:26:40 I find its slightly made me evaluate the Nieblungen... May 11 14:26:51 Oh? May 11 14:28:51 Whether they know it or not, they're doing what someone else wants them to do... its not their design May 11 14:29:30 * Molly nods May 11 14:29:59 They did admit last time that they don't really have everything under control May 11 14:32:32 * Morgan nods May 11 14:32:34 indeed May 11 14:33:24 Could I sit in your lap? Would that be alright? May 11 14:34:14 * Morgan nods May 11 14:34:15 Of course May 11 14:36:11 * Molly curls up in his lap May 11 14:36:50 Did you feel so shocked as this? May 11 14:37:21 * Morgan nods May 11 14:37:25 Absolutely I did May 11 14:41:10 It's surely quite silly, given my faith for those years... May 11 14:41:30 But... May 11 14:42:11 But I am still off-kilter May 11 14:42:34 * Morgan nods May 11 14:42:38 It knocked me sideways for days May 11 14:46:12 * Molly nods May 11 14:46:50 Is it any better now? May 11 14:47:04 On and off. May 11 14:50:05 * Molly nods May 11 14:50:26 Once I have had an hour or two to adapt, I will be fine May 11 14:52:18 * Morgan nods May 11 14:52:20 Alright love May 11 14:52:54 * Molly kisses him "thank you for telling me" May 11 14:53:16 I've wanted to since it happened, but... my duty was to help you perform yours there May 11 14:55:10 * Molly nods "it was taking me from you too much" May 11 14:55:30 No love... it was necessary. May 11 14:57:59 Now it's done, and I'm all yours... well, aside from these *she squeezes a breast* which are a shared asset May 11 14:58:15 * Morgan nods May 11 14:58:19 And my near constant working May 11 15:01:28 * Molly nods "yes, indeed" May 11 15:02:36 * Morgan nods May 11 15:02:57 I think I'll have a word with Sorgi, get his input on changing some of the shifts now we aren't going to be sailing at night May 11 15:03:16 If you wish, my love May 11 15:05:24 We'll see. Its only another few weeks May 11 15:06:25 * Molly nods, smiling May 11 15:06:34 I'm getting much more sleep May 11 15:06:38 Oh? May 11 15:07:22 I don't have such pleasant things to keep me awake as when you are with me in bed May 11 15:07:39 * Morgan nods May 11 15:08:17 I've told Alice not to worry about getting the main house cleaned up for when we get there... no point hauling our stuff up to it just for a day or two May 11 15:08:26 * Molly nods May 11 15:08:39 If you wish, my love May 11 15:08:51 * Morgan nods May 11 15:09:19 Its impractical to. She thinks she can fit us all in the farmhouse for dinner... if needs be we can clear the kitchen and dining room of the main house May 11 15:09:46 I'll certainly help you clear the dining table May 11 15:11:10 Again? May 11 15:11:22 * Molly nods, smiling May 11 15:11:56 Absolutely. I will bend over to inspect it closely, you can supervise from behind May 11 15:12:16 * Morgan nods May 11 15:12:19 Sounds reasonable May 11 15:12:46 It should be very quick? May 11 15:13:41 Isn't always May 11 15:20:31 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) May 11 15:23:36 * Molly has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) May 11 16:05:33 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 11 16:05:35 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) May 11 18:00:44 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 11 18:19:11 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 11 18:20:21 * MollyK smiles "just when your need for me is very high?" May 11 18:23:27 * Morgan nods May 11 18:23:28 Yes May 11 18:26:39 * MollyK nods May 11 18:27:19 I imagine that, and similar, every night... every morning too, very recently May 11 18:27:38 * Morgan sighs May 11 18:27:51 love... I know you miss me, and I you but... not today, alright? May 11 18:28:12 * MollyK frowns May 11 18:28:17 I was not asking May 11 18:28:32 No, but... its not something I want to be thinking about today May 11 18:28:45 * MollyK nods May 11 18:29:11 Alright. What would you prefer to talk about? May 11 18:35:05 * Morgan shrugs May 11 18:36:24 At some point soon I'm going to take HeinzHarold stargazing... let Inga get a decent nights sleep May 11 18:37:26 You have middle tonight, perhaps he'd like to join you and then stay in the captain's study? May 11 18:37:42 * Morgan nods May 11 18:38:04 Good idea. I wonder if Maelwys will be able to get away May 11 18:38:24 That would be nice May 11 18:39:32 He'd be able to tell us how Evie and Ayden are faring May 11 18:39:55 * Morgan nods May 11 18:40:58 Their baby is due in June May 11 18:42:31 Thats coming around quickly... how are you feeling about the baptism being sooner? May 11 18:42:48 It makes sense May 11 18:44:43 yes... but that isn't what I asked May 11 18:45:23 I feel relieved that your Mother is going to be organising it May 11 18:46:37 * Morgan nods May 11 18:47:09 What about you? May 11 18:50:02 I'm concerned for Mina... May 11 18:50:24 Because she is not with child, and we hoped she would be by then? May 11 18:50:31 * Morgan nods May 11 18:50:33 quite May 11 18:51:03 It is still possible she might be, they have another month May 11 18:51:22 I hope so. I suspect it'll make it easier to meet Florrie... May 11 18:53:57 * MollyK nods May 11 18:54:16 I will keep Mina busy if needs be May 11 18:54:52 * Morgan nods May 11 18:55:08 Florrie's going to love the hothouse May 11 18:56:38 * MollyK smiles May 11 18:56:51 The three children together will be mayhem! May 11 18:57:13 * Morgan nods May 11 18:57:17 Oh yes, absolutely May 11 18:59:56 * MollyK nods May 11 19:00:23 Oh gosh, and Thomas! May 11 19:00:36 * Morgan nods May 11 19:00:43 And Jarvies... May 11 19:00:47 And HeinzHarold May 11 19:00:52 That reminds me, do you wish me to express for later? May 11 19:01:54 * Morgan nods May 11 19:02:05 Yes, please... it helps me feel less disconnected May 11 19:02:12 * MollyK nods May 11 19:02:19 That is important May 11 19:02:30 * Morgan nods May 11 19:05:19 I will make sure it's done May 11 19:05:35 Thank you love May 11 19:10:23 * MollyK gets up May 11 19:10:55 I'll take the children out when they wake, so you have privacy to talk to your Mother May 11 19:11:06 * Morgan nods May 11 19:11:12 Alright. This will be difficult May 11 19:14:07 I could have Inga take them if you need me? May 11 19:14:32 I'll manage love... but... go and find her, you need her today May 11 19:15:57 * MollyK nods May 11 19:15:59 I will May 11 19:19:59 * Morgan nods May 11 19:20:00 Good May 11 19:20:57 I'll get you the mirror and then see to the boys May 11 19:22:56 * Morgan nods May 11 19:22:58 Thank you love May 11 19:23:13 * MollyK goes to the bedroom to get it May 11 19:26:07 * Morgan pours himself some coffee, going to sit at the desk May 11 19:26:24 * MollyK has indeed taken the boys to Inga by the time he is due to speak to Verity, only the bird and the cat with him May 11 19:27:01 * Morgan uncovers the mirror, settling to wait May 11 19:30:51 * MollyK is now known as Verity May 11 19:31:12 ACTION is a couple of minutes late. She looks a little tired, but smiles gently at him May 11 19:31:12 * Received a CTCP from Verity (to #7thsea) May 11 19:31:20 Dear boy, how are you? May 11 19:31:31 * Morgan smiles slightly May 11 19:31:40 I'm alright mother. Are you? You look tired May 11 19:32:28 Jarvinia's labour began in the night May 11 19:32:58 Oh! Is she alright? May 11 19:36:03 * Verity nods, smiling "She is complaining about being in confinement, but she is doing well. Marta says it will be before tomorrow morning" May 11 19:36:45 * Morgan nods, looking pained May 11 19:37:38 I know, dear boy, it isn't the best day, but babies come when they wish, don't they? May 11 19:38:13 * Morgan nods, wiping at his face May 11 19:38:48 They do. May 11 19:39:10 Oh dear boy, I wish I could give you a hug May 11 19:40:05 * Morgan nods May 11 19:40:12 Me too. I dreamed about her last night May 11 19:42:12 Did you? May 11 19:43:07 * Morgan nods May 11 19:43:18 Telling me all about what sort of man she wanted to marry when she was older May 11 19:44:46 * Verity looks so sad "that's so hard on you" May 11 19:45:09 * Morgan nods, sighing before looking round May 11 19:45:15 Bir... Bir, come here... May 11 19:47:35 *she wolf whistles at him before landing on the desk* May 11 19:47:53 * Morgan holds up a couple of seeds May 11 19:48:02 * Verity looks surprised "what a beautiful bird!" May 11 19:48:23 * Morgan nods May 11 19:48:29 We've been teaching her some Avalonian May 11 19:50:17 *the bird says "food" twice, once in Eisen and once in Avalonian May 11 19:50:28 * Verity smiles "how clever!" May 11 19:50:53 * Morgan nods, feeding her some seeds May 11 19:51:10 *She eats them* May 11 19:51:24 She's called Bir? May 11 19:51:29 * Morgan nods May 11 19:51:47 Emil can't -quite- say bird, but she started responding to Bir... May 11 19:52:41 B, in Avalonian: Bir. Pretty bird. May 11 19:53:04 * Morgan smiles, gently stroking her chest May 11 19:53:26 * Verity smiles "yes you are, the prettiest bird I've seen" May 11 19:53:52 *Bir looks at Morgan before saying "Muah!" May 11 19:54:09 * Morgan smiles, making a kissing noise at her May 11 19:54:19 She's very sweet and very -very- clever May 11 19:54:55 *The bird tips her head back and chuckles. She sounds vaguely like Heinzharold* May 11 19:55:01 * Verity laughs May 11 19:55:18 How delightful! May 11 19:56:01 * Morgan smiles, putting some seeds on the table May 11 19:56:35 Providing she hasn't bonded too strongly with us... we thought she might live with uncle Christopher until he passes May 11 19:58:43 * Verity nods May 11 19:59:31 I think he would like the company. Foxcroft must be lonely for him, though he does have visits from his neighbours in Coleraine May 11 19:59:57 * Morgan nods May 11 20:00:01 Molly has relatives there May 11 20:01:33 * Verity nods "Yea, she has told me before that she has an aunt there who lost a daughter to drowning, and that the new estates manager where you were working was the estates manager there before. But Martha is very quick to shut down any conversation about her childhood or her sister May 11 20:02:42 Funny how she's so reluctant to share her past but loves getting into everyone else's... May 11 20:06:12 That isn't kind of you, dear boy. I thought you had decided that the question she had raised was for the right reasons May 11 20:06:32 Yes, it was... but in general... she meddles, a lot May 11 20:06:57 * Verity nods "she wants things to be put to rights" May 11 20:08:04 * Morgan nods, sighing May 11 20:11:47 She is here supporting Jarvinina too. She's certainly an old hat at childbirth, and much more experienced than I! May 11 20:11:59 * Morgan nods May 11 20:12:07 I hope she will not get in Marta's way... May 11 20:14:18 * Verity shakes her head May 11 20:14:21 Not at all May 11 20:14:38 * Morgan nods May 11 20:14:46 good May 11 20:14:58 * Morgan gently taps Bir's beak May 11 20:15:20 We're a couple of days out of Jura... couple of weeks from my island... May 11 20:16:10 *Bir makes the kissing noise again* May 11 20:16:47 I will let your uncle know you are due in two to three weeks so he can prepare for your stay May 11 20:17:00 * Morgan nods May 11 20:17:27 It'll be closer to three... we're going to stop on the island for a couple of days, see Molly's family and so on May 11 20:19:25 * Verity nods May 11 20:19:34 That will be nice, won't it May 11 20:19:54 * Morgan nods May 11 20:20:29 It'll be nice to spend some time with the Molly's niece... I avoided her last time we were there May 11 20:21:58 Which niece? The new baby, or the older one? May 11 20:22:25 The older one... the baby was easy to avoid, she stayed with her mother, but the old one... kept trying to come to me May 11 20:23:40 * Verity nods May 11 20:23:56 Now you have a baby of your own... is he well? May 11 20:24:29 * Morgan nods May 11 20:24:32 He can say mama now May 11 20:25:54 * Verity smiles May 11 20:26:11 Wonderful! Molly must be very pleased May 11 20:27:04 * Morgan nods May 11 20:27:16 She is, yes... he's started crying when he sees me now instead May 11 20:28:23 Is he seeing you much less? May 11 20:28:35 * Morgan nods May 11 20:28:40 I'm working all the time for now May 11 20:31:00 You are taking care of yourself though? May 11 20:31:40 * Morgan nods May 11 20:31:53 Sleeping when I can, making sure I eat, yes... May 11 20:33:02 * Verity nods May 11 20:33:22 Is Molly managing with the children? May 11 20:33:28 * Morgan nods May 11 20:33:38 HeinzHarold and Inga are helping her as well May 11 20:35:15 Oh good. Are you enjoying your work? May 11 20:36:11 * Morgan nods May 11 20:36:35 Its hard work, and relentless, but I am rather enjoying it, aside from being pulled away from my family May 11 20:37:39 * Verity nods May 11 20:38:30 Your Father found it difficult in the War too. Now he and Grendlik are busy pacing the drawing room May 11 20:38:52 * Morgan nods May 11 20:39:00 I am not keeping you from lending your support? May 11 20:41:52 I should probably go to see how the men are. Dear Grendlik is very nervous May 11 20:42:11 * Morgan nods May 11 20:42:25 We don't like feeling like we are no use, there's nothing we can do... May 11 20:44:05 * Verity smiles May 11 20:44:34 You can pray for them, dear boy. Pray that it's quick and easy, and that everyone is well May 11 20:45:27 * Morgan nods May 11 20:45:30 I suppose so May 11 20:50:09 We would appreciate that. Shall I leave a note once the baby is here? May 11 20:51:20 Please. We have a little bet on what it will be May 11 20:51:52 Oh? What do you think? May 11 20:52:24 I'm reckoning a boy May 11 20:54:12 * Verity nods May 11 20:54:26 Martha agrees May 11 20:54:41 * Morgan nods May 11 20:54:49 I'd best let you go mother, the others will be needing you May 11 20:57:36 I will be praying for you too. I've been to her grave this morning to put down flowers and pray for her May 11 20:57:58 * Morgan nods May 11 20:58:01 Thank you mother May 11 20:59:48 I put down some nuts and seeds for the squirrels and birds to come, I thought she might have liked that May 11 21:00:05 * Morgan nods May 11 21:00:09 She would have, yes May 11 21:04:30 * Verity nods May 11 21:04:55 We are all thinking of you, dear boy May 11 21:05:05 * Morgan nods May 11 21:05:09 Thank you mother May 11 21:08:49 * Verity smiles "take care, dear boy, I love you" May 11 21:08:55 And I you mother May 11 21:12:04 * Verity covers the mirror, gone back to the imminent birth in Die Dauerhaftigkeit on what should have been Jana's fourth birthday May 11 21:12:28 * Morgan covers the mirror, packing it away before just sitting quietly, his head in his hands May 11 21:14:15 *Bir makes the kissing sound again* May 11 21:14:27 * Morgan gently strokes the birds chest May 11 21:14:53 *she climbs up his arm onto his shoulder May 11 21:17:02 * Morgan holds up a seed between his fingers May 11 21:17:09 Not sure the captain will appreciate you being up there May 11 21:18:18 *She takes it before spreading a wing out over his head almost like she's shielding him May 11 21:18:35 * Morgan sighs, stroking her chest May 11 21:20:49 *She stays there a while* May 11 21:23:24 * Morgan sighs May 11 21:23:35 Alright, off you go Bir... I've got work to do May 11 21:25:01 B: pretty bird May 11 21:26:22 Yes, pretty bird May 11 21:34:00 *she wolfwhistles before flying back to her perch* May 11 21:35:01 Good bird May 11 21:36:51 *she ruffles her feathers before settling* May 11 21:37:24 * Morgan finishes his coffee before going up on deck May 11 21:37:44 * Verity is now known as Molly May 11 21:38:14 * Molly , the children, HH and Inga are up there May 11 21:41:42 * Morgan wanders over to them May 11 21:43:39 *HH is making Molly laugh* May 11 21:44:23 * Morgan squares his shoulder before getting closer May 11 21:44:25 Thats nice to hear May 11 21:44:57 What is? May 11 21:45:34 You laughing May 11 21:46:07 * Molly smiles May 11 21:46:56 Heinzharold was telling me about when he was Varick's age and his Da pranked him into thinking he'd be an Eisenfurst one day May 11 21:47:12 Oh? May 11 21:48:53 He'd taken up some turf, buried pewter under it, put it back, then had Heinzharold break the virgin ground with a shovel May 11 21:51:09 Oh, that... yeah, I heard about that May 11 21:51:37 * Molly smiles "it's rather sweet really" May 11 21:53:12 * Morgan nods May 11 21:53:41 [Jarvie has gone into labour. Marta says it'll be before tomorrow morning] May 11 21:54:12 * Molly 's brows raise [oh my gosh! How exciting!] May 11 21:55:46 * Morgan nods slightly, looking to see who is on duty May 11 21:57:09 *it's Sorgi* May 11 21:57:23 [is she doing alright?!] May 11 21:57:27 Just the man... May 11 21:57:58 [she's annoyed at being confined but no problems thus far. Father and Holzheim are pacing grooves into the study's carpet] May 11 22:00:24 [poor Jarvie. At least it should be done soon] May 11 22:00:53 [Probably today] May 11 22:01:01 * Morgan heads over toward Sorgi May 11 22:02:51 * Molly is now known as Sorgi May 11 22:03:49 Sorgi... May 11 22:05:35 Yes, Captain? May 11 22:06:55 I anticipate tonight being the last time she will dance overnight, if she hasn't already. The crew can be redistributed across the other watches. I wanted your advice on our shifts... May 11 22:07:52 * Sorgi nods May 11 22:08:08 Yes, Captain? May 11 22:09:02 Would you advise changing ours? Since our, as you put it, steady hands aren't so needed May 11 22:10:59 That is the decision for the Captain, Captain *he smiles* May 11 22:11:34 * Morgan looks up at the sky May 11 22:12:06 There is no shame in admitting someone is better at something than you are... it follows there is no shame in seeking advice from that someone. May 11 22:13:37 If she isn't moving, there is no point putting senior officers on deck in the dark for four hours May 11 22:14:19 That was my thought on it but... you know how it is, being new to command May 11 22:16:16 * Sorgi nods May 11 22:16:20 Yes, Captain May 11 22:16:42 What about seeing all of the crew in a day... May 11 22:18:20 What about it? May 11 22:19:05 * Morgan sighs May 11 22:19:15 You sir, are quite awkward when the mood takes you May 11 22:19:43 Yes, Captain. It's part of the experience, Captain *he smiles* May 11 22:21:44 * Morgan nods May 11 22:22:29 I would like a report on your views on the competence and readiness of our trainee captains before we reach Morgans R... Lundy. May 11 22:23:05 * Sorgi smiles "I will do one, Captain" May 11 22:24:24 * Morgan smiles slightly before wandering back over to the others May 11 22:26:23 * Sorgi is now known as Molly May 11 22:26:40 * Molly has Emil, but he reaches for Morgan May 11 22:27:03 * Morgan takes his hand, stroking his head with the other May 11 22:28:42 *he starts to grizzle, trying harder. Molly passes him over* May 11 22:28:59 Someone is tired of seeing his Mama, I think! May 11 22:29:21 No, its just that he isn't seeing much of me, thats all May 11 22:31:58 *Emil grins at him* May 11 22:32:22 [is it a secret about Jarvie?] May 11 22:32:55 [no, I wasn't sure how Inga would feel about it is all] May 11 22:33:09 Hello handsome... what've you and your brother been up to, hmm? May 11 22:34:07 [I will tell her later] May 11 22:34:14 [alright] May 11 22:34:20 *Emil babbles at him* May 11 22:35:02 * Morgan nods, chatting to him as if its a two way conversation May 11 22:37:19 *Emil refuses to be put down until much later, after Morgan has fed him. When they're sat eating, Varick says "Vati, we should light a candle for Jana's birthday" May 11 22:37:40 * Morgan nods May 11 22:37:48 For a little while May 11 22:40:22 * Molly finds one after they've finished, as well as a tinderbox. She takes Emil so Morgan can light it May 11 22:40:56 * Morgan stares at it for a moment before using the tinderbox to light it May 11 22:44:14 *everyone stands around the desk quietly, watching the flame* V: Happy birthday, Jana. I hope you and my other sister are playing together in heaven May 11 22:45:00 * Morgan pulls Varick to him, pressing his face into the boys shoulder briefly May 11 22:45:32 *Varick hugs him* It's okay, Vati. Everyone is happy in heaven May 11 22:46:05 * Morgan nods May 11 22:46:10 Yeah... they are May 11 22:48:03 * Molly wipes her eyes a moment before hugging Emil closer May 11 22:48:49 HH: *he pats Morgan's shoulder* I got second dogs. See you at midnight? May 11 22:49:51 * Morgan nods May 11 22:49:54 yeah May 11 22:52:57 *HH kisses Inga's cheek before he goes, and the children are put to bed. With his middle watch coming up, Morgan needs to get some food and a nap too, and so once again he's saying goodnight to Molly much earlier than normal* May 11 22:53:18 Will you come to bed at four, or will I see you later in the morning? May 11 22:53:58 I haven't decided yet love. May 11 22:54:13 * Molly nods May 11 22:54:29 Alright. I will see you when I see you May 11 22:54:49 * Morgan nods May 11 22:54:51 alright May 11 22:57:29 Goodnight, my love May 11 22:58:17 * Morgan nods May 11 22:58:22 Goodnight blossom May 11 23:00:52 * Molly goes to sit beside Inga, pouring some wine, letting him go May 11 23:01:54 * Morgan goes, climbing onto the bed and trying to sleep May 11 23:03:05 *he manages it, waking around half an hour before his shift. HH is on deck waiting* May 11 23:03:10 * Molly is now known as HH May 11 23:03:33 Reck'n this is th' last night she sails alone then? May 11 23:03:47 Might not even do it tonight... May 11 23:06:26 Then yer jus' gon' have my company alllll night for no good reason May 11 23:07:02 There's a reason... we can look at the pretty stars May 11 23:08:44 * HH nods "yeah, but it ain't ending up like when Inga an' I looked at th' pretty stars in Capperlucia..." May 11 23:09:03 * Morgan nods May 11 23:09:07 Agreed May 11 23:10:36 She saw a shootin' star, apparently May 11 23:11:25 Oh? May 11 23:14:00 I didn't see it, was o'er my shoulder May 11 23:14:11 You gave her concussion May 11 23:15:21 * HH laughs May 11 23:15:30 Was a bit o' a bang, yeah May 11 23:16:04 * Morgan nods, watching the stars May 11 23:17:56 I hear yer getting a new cousin once removed... ackshully, means I'm getting a new distant cousin too May 11 23:18:15 * Morgan nods May 11 23:18:20 Night have already been born May 11 23:20:04 Hope so, imagine 'ow cross she'll be with 'er husband by now if not May 11 23:20:18 Not sure how I feel about it May 11 23:21:50 Bad timing?

Means yer wedding was pretty much nine months ago May 11 23:24:37 * Morgan nods May 11 23:24:42 Yeah, pretty much May 11 23:26:01 * HH looks up at the stars May 11 23:26:37 Mebbie she's watching over Jarvie an' the baby, help 'em get through it safe May 11 23:27:06 * Morgan nods May 11 23:27:09 Hope someone is May 11 23:29:22 * HH nods May 11 23:29:34 Mebbie my Da, if y' ask him nice May 11 23:31:43 He'd be doing that, asked or otherwise May 11 23:33:11 * HH nods May 11 23:33:52 Yeah... so, how y' doin'? May 11 23:34:03 * Morgan shrugs May 11 23:34:24 Had dreams last night... surprised they stayed away this long May 11 23:35:37 * HH nods May 11 23:35:52 Been a good run, but y' always get stuck this day May 11 23:36:19 * Morgan nods May 11 23:36:26 Haven't gotten stuck the last few times May 11 23:37:57 Y' know what I mean.
