Emil is now trying to take steps as he holds on to the couches, crawling between them. Bir sits on the back of them saying "well done, be careful" over and over. Varick wants to be taught more about being a captain* May 21 18:30:26 * Morgan sits at the desk with Varick, teaching him to read charts May 21 18:32:34 *he's only been doing it a few minutes when Emil crawls over and tries to pull up to standing* May 21 18:34:28 * Morgan leans down, holding his hand May 21 18:35:04 E: Vah-eee uh! *he reaches his arms up* May 21 18:35:48 * Morgan picks him up May 21 18:37:59 *Emil wants Morgan's attention, and it makes it difficult to concentrate on teaching Varick* May 21 18:38:52 * Morgan bounces him on one knee, trying to give Varick attention as well May 21 18:42:50 *This is a real challenge. Varick sighs* V: It's okay, Vati, we'll do it later May 21 18:43:33 [love, can you help here?

May 21 18:53:01 * MollyK shakes her head "it's fine" May 21 18:53:43 * MollyK takes the crying baby as well as the other couple up on deck. This leaves Morgan with Varick, the bird and the cat May 21 18:53:47 * MollyK is now known as Varick May 21 18:56:36 * Morgan repositions the charts so Varick can see it better May 21 18:57:57 He can't help it Vati May 21 19:00:27 No, I know. I'm not cross with him, I just... I don't ever want you feeling that you're not as loved and wanted as he is May 21 19:04:04 I know, Vati, but he's a baby and I'm a big boy May 21 19:07:30 * Morgan nods May 21 19:07:36 I know... but its still important May 21 19:12:57 * Varick nods, settling to concentrate. He works hard at learning, and seems to enjoy the time they have. It's a reminder how much Emil has changed their little family dynamic in the month that they've had him* May 21 19:17:35 * Morgan works with him, showing him the differences in the charts for shallows and normal charts May 21 19:17:44 Do you know the difference between a chart and a map? May 21 19:19:27 No May 21 19:19:47 Charts are for the sea, maps are for land May 21 19:20:38 Why? May 21 19:20:51 * Morgan shrugs May 21 19:20:58 I don't know. They just are May 21 19:22:30 * Varick nods May 21 19:22:45 When I am a grown up, can I sail a ship? May 21 19:23:42 For a while, probably... Maybe I can teach you on our lake? May 21 19:25:22 * Varick nods, grinning May 21 19:25:29 I want to do that May 21 19:25:59 * Morgan nods May 21 19:26:04 Good... we'll do that May 21 19:27:15 * Varick nods May 21 19:27:20 Just us?

May 21 19:34:56 I think so, yes. They talk to eachother every day May 21 19:36:42 I think he will be a good daddy May 21 19:37:57 * Morgan nods May 21 19:38:05 I suspect so, yes. He loves her very much May 21 19:40:45 * Varick nods May 21 19:40:53 You're a good daddy now May 21 19:41:14 I wasn't before? May 21 19:43:35 * Varick laughs May 21 19:44:03 Noooo... Uncle Edward will be a good daddy when he meets Florrie, but you're a good daddy already May 21 19:44:35 Oh, I see... thank you May 21 19:49:29 * Varick hugs him May 21 19:49:46 I like it when you're here May 21 19:49:58 * Morgan nods, hugging him May 21 19:50:16 I'm going to be doing a little less over the next couple of weeks, so hopefully I'll be around more May 21 19:51:56 * Varick nods May 21 19:52:01 That's good May 21 19:52:55 * Morgan nods May 21 19:53:03 Then its only two weeks before I hand command back to Sorgi May 21 19:54:25 * Varick smiles May 21 19:54:33 Then you can be here all the time!

HeinzHarolds going to help too May 21 19:57:33 * Varick nods May 21 19:57:47 It will be good. What are we doing to make? May 21 19:58:18 Another chair, but a bit bigger, and two big cribs I think. May 21 19:59:18 * Varick nods May 21 19:59:26 That is going to take us a long time May 21 20:00:17 A fair while yes, but we won't have time once we get to Eisen May 21 20:02:32 I'm excited about our home, are you? May 21 20:03:21 * Morgan nods May 21 20:03:44 I am, yes. Didn't think I'd live anywhere other than Sudlachenburg once I came back to EIsen though May 21 20:04:46 I will have to live in Koln again one day May 21 20:05:40 * Morgan nods May 21 20:05:42 One day, yes May 21 20:07:17 And then I will live with my cat wife, my wolf wife, and my human wife May 21 20:07:31 We'll see about that when the time comes May 21 20:11:16 Okay Vati May 21 20:11:43 *Bir comes over to land on the desk, looking around* May 21 20:11:48 B: food May 21 20:12:22 * Morgan opens his draw, producing a jar with seeds in it, putting a few on the desk May 21 20:13:57 *she eats them. Varick strokes her feathers* May 21 20:15:14 * Morgan strokes the birds beak gently, feeding her a few more seeds May 21 20:16:16 B: *she finishes them before she says "Fuck!" May 21 20:16:46 * Varick looks at Morgan, saying nothing May 21 20:16:59 Can you explain to her thats not a word she should say?

May 21 20:37:44 We don't want her to upset anyone by accident do we May 21 20:41:20 * Varick nods, concentrating on the bird. She bounces up and down a few moments before saying it again May 21 20:41:42 * Morgan frowns May 21 20:41:52 That didn't work May 21 20:43:41 *she tips her head back before laughing like Heinzharold* May 21 20:44:06 She's doing it on purpose isn't she... she thinks its funny May 21 20:45:50 * Varick nods May 21 20:45:55 I'll try again May 21 20:46:01 * Morgan nods May 21 20:46:01 Ok May 21 20:46:35 * Varick concentrates.
