**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat May 13 01:37:22 2023 May 13 01:37:22 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 13 01:44:28 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) May 13 11:09:49 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 13 11:16:41 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) May 13 12:21:31 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 13 13:27:51 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) May 13 15:21:30 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 13 17:15:21 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 13 17:15:37 /nick Edward May 13 17:15:39 * Morgan nods May 13 17:15:48 * MollyK is now known as Edward May 13 17:20:27 What should I bring with me when I meet her? More clothes for Aspen? May 13 17:22:33 I think you probably know her better than I do at this point Edward... May 13 17:25:09 Yes, I suppose so... May 13 17:25:40 * Morgan watches him steadily May 13 17:26:04 Why don't you tell me what is making you question that May 13 17:28:15 I want to get it right. I haven't had a child before May 13 17:30:16 Every one of them will be different... and every one of them will thrive with love. Thats about the two biggest things to remember... you, however, will face another challenge I'm afraid May 13 17:31:33 My wife? May 13 17:33:05 In broad terms, yes... you're going to feel the desire to make her comfortable by holding back with Florrie... and the desire to throw all the love you have for Florrie at her... May 13 17:33:21 * Edward nods May 13 17:33:34 Perhaps I should come a few days ahead of Mina May 13 17:34:47 You know Mina best but... I wouldn't. May 13 17:36:54 Why? May 13 17:37:57 You want to leave her behind, then make her travel alone, knowing what she's walking into? May 13 17:40:23 DeeDee would be with her May 13 17:41:05 You know that isn't the point, don't you? Would she confide her feelings to DeeDee as she would to you? May 13 17:43:56 Yes, but... will Florrie's first impression of me be as a Father who cannot throw himself whole-heartedly into his relationship with his daughter? May 13 17:45:08 I'm glad you appreciate the dilemma fully. Bring Mina, we will all manage the situation so she is not alone, but you are free to lavish the love that young lady deserves upon her May 13 17:48:33 * Edward nods May 13 17:48:43 I will discuss it with Mina May 13 17:49:28 I think it is the best solution available May 13 17:52:40 * Edward nods May 13 17:53:00 It is important that it goes well May 13 17:53:24 * Morgan nods May 13 17:53:51 Yes, it is. If Florrie is a little more reticent than when she speaks to you, don't take it to heart May 13 17:55:12 * Edward nods May 13 17:55:14 I know May 13 17:56:07 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee May 13 17:58:08 You must be looking forward to getting settled in at Hafenlohr May 13 17:58:40 * Morgan smiles May 13 17:59:23 I am. I'm not sure if we'll have to make another trip yet May 13 18:02:25 Would you want to? May 13 18:04:20 I'd like to sail a bit more... and it was very nice, no nightmares, everyone was friendly, there was no conflict... May 13 18:04:47 Conflict? May 13 18:06:43 No people fighting May 13 18:06:53 * Edward nods May 13 18:07:15 Are you thinking of summer, or autumn? May 13 18:08:11 well... Molly is meant to be with child in autumn... and it depends on his Grace and Jarvie... May 13 18:08:49 * Edward nods May 13 18:09:11 Maybe once she has conceived you could escort Jarvie to hand over May 13 18:09:45 * Morgan smiles slightly May 13 18:10:06 That would be almost entirely pointless. May 13 18:12:14 You would be sailing and no doubt trying to encourage a dragon to let you ride it. Would -that- be pointless to you? May 13 18:12:58 True... I don't know... May 13 18:13:45 * Edward nods May 13 18:14:03 Would you take the children? May 13 18:16:20 I suspect they'd miss Molly too much... and it rather goes against my wanting to sail... May 13 18:17:46 It sounds like all three of them need to stay at Hafenlohr May 13 18:18:05 * Morgan nods May 13 18:18:21 Molly has already said she wishes me to continue sailing but... perhaps not so far... May 13 18:20:32 No. You have responsibilities to your wife and children, and it will be difficult to fulfil them if you are absent May 13 18:21:02 * Morgan nods May 13 18:21:04 aye May 13 18:21:45 * Morgan takes a mouthful of his coffee May 13 18:21:56 I don't suppose you've had time to look into the man I asked about? May 13 18:23:14 * Edward nods May 13 18:24:02 There is not much to tell. He went missing, the friearrdom passed to his son May 13 18:24:20 Which Freiarrdom? May 13 18:25:09 It's a very small place called Oberhausen in Wische May 13 18:25:40 Hang on... his son... May 13 18:26:24 * Edward nods May 13 18:26:40 Yes, a male child. You have two of them. May 13 18:26:58 Did he have any other children? May 13 18:27:32 A daughter May 13 18:28:01 * Morgan nods slowly May 13 18:28:02 Alright May 13 18:30:06 That's all you needed? May 13 18:31:07 * Morgan sighs May 13 18:31:39 Thats going to be complicated... what? Yes, thats all I needed for now May 13 18:32:05 * Edward nods May 13 18:32:09 Alright May 13 18:32:29 * Morgan swirls his coffee, frowning May 13 18:33:50 Why does it matter? May 13 18:34:16 Keep it to yourself... May 13 18:35:52 Of course May 13 18:36:14 Its Holzheims father May 13 18:38:01 * Edward looks confused May 13 18:38:18 His father is... was... a nobleman? May 13 18:38:24 * Morgan nods May 13 18:38:41 Holzheim has a brother and a sister... May 13 18:39:56 Likely half-siblings May 13 18:40:21 Definitely, I'd say... either way... May 13 18:41:57 * Edward nods May 13 18:42:22 He has family May 13 18:43:12 * Morgan nods May 13 18:50:39 Do you plan on telling him? May 13 18:51:20 I think he has a right to know... I only have this information because of information he gave me May 13 18:53:11 * Edward nods May 13 18:53:36 I agree with you May 13 18:54:26 * Morgan nods May 13 18:54:31 Thats because you're sensible May 13 18:55:44 * Edward smiles May 13 18:55:55 I will remind you you said that one day May 13 18:59:00 I've no doubt I will come to regret it May 13 19:01:07 * Edward nods May 13 19:01:57 No doubt. *he smiles* do you need any more advice? Both Witts and DeeDee are here at the house May 13 19:02:28 About that? No, we took the time to do a bit of discovery... May 13 19:04:53 * Edward smiles May 13 19:05:15 Are you indeed the luckiest man in the world? *he chuckles* May 13 19:05:41 Something akin to that, yes May 13 19:08:09 * Edward nods May 13 19:08:26 Well, I'm pleased for you, brother May 13 19:10:15 * Morgan nods May 13 19:10:24 Thank you for your help with it May 13 19:12:47 You are welcome. I am touched you came to me May 13 19:13:12 * Morgan smiles slightly May 13 19:13:17 We are as we should be May 13 19:14:27 * Edward nods May 13 19:14:38 This is what brothers do May 13 19:16:44 Quite. I'm looking forward to being able to relax at home May 13 19:18:39 Specifically in the bedroom May 13 19:18:45 ? May 13 19:24:23 Not specifically, but that as well May 13 19:26:08 * Edward nods May 13 19:26:41 There is something to be said for the domestic peace May 13 19:26:52 * Morgan nods May 13 19:27:03 Yes... there definitely is. I am looking forward to finding that again May 13 19:30:45 * Edward nods May 13 19:31:19 I should let you spend time with your wife if you are working so much May 13 19:32:30 * Morgan nods May 13 19:32:34 That would be good May 13 19:34:40 Take care, brother May 13 19:35:17 And you. We'll speak again soon May 13 19:37:24 * Edward nods May 13 19:37:30 My love to all May 13 19:37:38 And ours to Mina May 13 19:39:02 * Edward nods, covering the mirror May 13 19:39:55 * Morgan covers his, packing it away before refilling his coffee and going to find Molly May 13 19:40:59 * Edward is now known as Molly May 13 19:41:34 * Molly is in the galley putting together lunch for the boys who must be with Inga. It's empty otherwise May 13 19:42:46 hey May 13 19:43:40 * Molly smiles May 13 19:43:51 Is everything well? May 13 19:46:48 Yes and no... you're clearly holding something back May 13 20:12:53 Only that I miss you very much, but I do not want you to stop Captaining May 13 20:14:48 * Morgan nods May 13 20:15:31 Tomorrow evening I'm going Sorgi is going to stay on the ship... I will make it clear we are not to be interrupted unless it is life or death situations May 13 20:17:47 * Molly smiles "thank you" May 13 20:18:22 * Morgan nods May 13 20:19:12 * Morgan checks the time, trying to remember when he is next on duty May 13 20:20:58 The boys are with Inga? May 13 20:21:26 In the ballroom, yes May 13 20:23:25 * Morgan nods May 13 20:23:37 I have a few hours free... assuming I am not called for May 13 20:26:26 * Molly smiles May 13 20:26:56 I've expressed for you, the boys will be pleased to have you May 13 20:27:56 * Morgan nods May 13 20:28:08 Not too long then I'll be relinquishing command and working less May 13 20:28:32 * Molly nods May 13 20:29:35 I look forward to it, especially at night and now I know your nightmares are back May 13 20:30:13 * Morgan nods May 13 20:30:20 Its not the most enjoyable way to spend my time May 13 20:30:33 No May 13 20:30:53 * Molly finishes making up the food May 13 20:34:05 * Morgan shrugs May 13 20:34:08 It is what it is May 13 20:34:19 * Molly nods May 13 20:34:29 But it is easier when I am beside you? May 13 20:34:51 * Morgan nods May 13 20:34:54 As with all things May 13 20:35:08 * Molly smiles, looking touched May 13 20:35:11 Really? May 13 20:36:10 Of course May 13 20:37:22 That is nice to hear May 13 20:37:44 * Morgan smiles, moving to make himself some coffee May 13 20:38:17 Will you need to nap before tonight? May 13 20:38:52 I'll need some sleep before I go on shift May 13 20:39:05 * Molly smiles May 13 20:39:16 Would you like to do it together? May 13 20:39:54 If you don't feel my waking for my shift would disturb you May 13 20:40:20 No, I don't mind that May 13 20:40:37 * Morgan nods May 13 20:40:37 Alright May 13 20:44:03 It'd be nice to go to bed together May 13 20:44:44 * Morgan nods May 13 20:44:47 I agree May 13 20:45:20 * Molly kisses his cheek before picking up the plates May 13 20:45:28 How is Edward? May 13 20:46:15 He's fine. He's seen Jarvies baby May 13 20:46:32 Oh! He's very lucky May 13 20:46:52 * Morgan nods May 13 20:47:00 He favours Holzheim apparently May 13 20:48:59 He's going to be very handsome then May 13 20:49:11 * Morgan nods, rolling his eyes briefly May 13 20:50:05 * Molly smiles May 13 20:50:25 I will remind you, my love, that the first one of us to sa6 he was handsome was you May 13 20:50:29 Say! May 13 20:50:54 * Morgan shrugs May 13 20:51:56 You said he was too handsome for your liking, and I asked if that was a problem for you, and you said it was when he was looking at me *she smiles* May 13 20:52:21 * Morgan nods May 13 20:53:36 * Molly smiles "my attention was already firmly held by you" May 13 20:53:53 Good. May 13 20:54:58 * Molly nods May 13 20:55:09 Are you ready? May 13 20:55:20 * Morgan nods May 13 20:55:22 Aye love May 13 20:55:31 * Molly leads the way May 13 20:55:35 How is Mina? May 13 20:56:04 Alright I think. May 13 20:56:46 I wondered if she might be sad about the baby May 13 20:57:17 I know it is difficult for Edward, so I imagine moreso for her May 13 20:57:49 * Molly nods May 13 20:57:58 And for you? May 13 20:58:18 Some aye May 13 21:01:19 He is the first new baby at Die Dauerhaftigkeit May 13 21:02:28 * Morgan nods May 13 21:02:40 Mother has already become the doting grandmother May 13 21:03:04 * Molly nods sadly May 13 21:03:12 That is difficult May 13 21:03:41 * Morgan shrugs May 13 21:03:42 I suppose May 13 21:05:12 She will adore Emil too May 13 21:05:47 * Morgan nods May 13 21:05:49 No doubt May 13 21:08:57 Was Edward surprised we're so close to Jura? May 13 21:09:27 * Morgan nods May 13 21:09:41 He tries not to think about the night sailing... it makes him uneasy May 13 21:11:46 * Molly smiles May 13 21:12:02 I think we're used to it. I wonder if we're too close now May 13 21:12:14 I reckon so... find out in a few hours May 13 21:13:32 Yes you will... and I will hopefully be fast asleep dreaming of you May 13 21:20:01 * Morgan nods May 13 21:24:34 *they move the children to the study, and he gets to feed Emil who watches him lovingly as he feeds. Varick is excited about going into Jura again tomorrow* May 13 21:24:40 * Molly is now known as Varick May 13 21:24:50 Are you coming too, Vati? May 13 21:25:38 I'm not entirely sure... I need to arrange the reprovisioning May 13 21:25:48 * Varick sighs May 13 21:25:50 Okay May 13 21:26:33 Hopefully... we'll see how quickly I can arrange it May 13 21:27:35 It's okay, you're a busy man May 13 21:28:42 Its only for a little while now May 13 21:29:08 * Varick nods May 13 21:29:17 They you can play more May 13 21:29:21 Then* May 13 21:31:46 * Morgan nods May 13 21:31:56 And you can help us build May 13 21:32:10 Can I?!

May 13 21:36:39 I think he's a little small to be doing anything like that May 13 21:37:16 What about Florrie? May 13 21:37:39 Probably a little small... she can help with the garden if she wants though... May 13 21:38:33 * Varick nods May 13 21:38:45 Florrie will make us lots of flowers May 13 21:39:15 * Morgan nods May 13 21:39:21 I have no doubt she will May 13 21:40:21 Can she share my room? May 13 21:40:51 No, I think she'll be having her own... or be in with Alice May 13 21:42:40 Oh okay Vati May 13 21:45:14 * Morgan sips his coffee May 13 21:45:24 We'll see how things stand when we get there May 13 21:45:58 When will that be May 13 21:46:25 Couple of weeks to get to the island May 13 21:48:21 Then we'll see Florrie again May 13 21:48:52 * Morgan nods May 13 21:48:55 Yes, thats right May 13 21:50:17 * Varick looks very happy May 13 21:53:39 * Morgan smiles, sipping his coffee May 13 21:58:47 *they do bedtime together, and by six it is just the two of them, no sign of HH or Inga. She pours them Drambuie before taking a seat* May 13 22:03:48 * Morgan takes his, thanking her May 13 22:05:02 * Varick is now known as Molly May 13 22:05:16 I know he sounds sad, but he is really very proud May 13 22:05:56 Of what? May 13 22:06:39 You and your work May 13 22:07:21 You think so? May 13 22:07:29 I do May 13 22:08:55 * Morgan nods May 13 22:11:31 * Molly drinks her drink, kicking off her shoes May 13 22:11:39 It's not for long May 13 22:11:50 No... another couple of weeks at most May 13 22:12:04 * Molly nods May 13 22:12:10 We will manage May 13 22:12:33 * Morgan nods, leaning against her May 13 22:13:14 * Molly leans to him too, stroking his arm May 13 22:18:37 Are you managing alone? May 13 22:19:14 How do you mean? May 13 22:23:07 * Molly blushes May 13 22:23:26 By yourself... May 13 22:23:39 Oh... no, I haven't May 13 22:28:00 Oh, it's just... with the dreams where you would get stuck, afterwards you are oft... amorous May 13 22:28:48 Yes, well... it didn't feel right, so I just got dressed May 13 22:30:04 * Molly nods May 13 22:30:15 Normally you can turn to me May 13 22:30:31 * Morgan nods May 13 22:30:53 I'm not sure I would have... I was a bit... unsettled, having the dreams again May 13 22:31:58 * Molly nods May 13 22:32:11 I'm very sad they are back May 13 22:32:19 * Morgan nods May 13 22:34:10 I hate what it did to us before May 13 22:34:31 * Morgan sighs, nodding May 13 22:34:35 aye May 13 22:37:30 I just want things to be close and easy May 13 22:38:03 * Morgan nods May 13 22:38:09 So do I love May 13 22:39:24 Sometimes it seems like we are still dancing around each other May 13 22:39:48 Does it? May 13 22:40:45 We do not always say what we want or need May 13 22:41:19 No, I suppose we don't May 13 22:44:15 I think sometimes we try to guess, and it doesn't always go well May 13 22:44:34 * Morgan nods, yawning before sipping his drink May 13 22:44:37 You're probably right May 13 22:44:57 Should I ask them to bring us dinner early? May 13 22:45:12 Might be an idea really May 13 22:50:20 * Molly nods, standing up and kissing him softly May 13 22:50:35 Alright liebling, I'll see to it May 13 22:50:48 Alright love... I'll wait here for you May 13 22:51:07 * Molly goes to do it May 13 22:53:45 *rapidly he starts to feel himself drifting off* May 13 22:54:02 * Morgan shakes himself, standing up and walking about while he waits May 13 22:54:32 *Molly arrives about ten minutes later with plates* May 13 22:54:55 Sorry, it was a bit hectic in the galley May 13 22:55:05 Was it? May 13 22:55:16 It's that time of day May 13 22:55:57 * Morgan nods, sitting at the desk May 13 22:56:06 Damn near fell asleep May 13 22:56:26 * Molly nods May 13 22:56:42 You can sleep very soon, my love May 13 22:57:27 * Morgan nods, yawning May 13 23:06:44 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) May 13 23:08:38 * Molly has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) May 13 23:37:11 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 13 23:39:10 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) May 13 23:45:27 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 13 23:47:26 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
