May 25 00:11:01 No. Its fine. May 25 00:11:49 * Molly gets in, lying Emil between them. He seems mostly asleep May 25 00:12:01 Could you do the lantern?

Between them, he can feel Emil's breathing against his body May 25 00:25:52 * Morgan breathes slowly, trying to meditate before trying to go back to sleep May 25 00:29:21 *he falls asleep again. This time he dreams he and Edward are surrounded by lots of children, and trying to organise them in to groups for who is whose. He wakes with the dawn watch, Emil snuggled right up to him* May 25 00:29:55 * Morgan kisses the boys head gently before climbing out of bed May 25 00:32:16 *neither he nor Molly wake up May 25 00:33:11 * Morgan pulls his clothes on, going to get coffee May 25 00:35:52 *he isn't interrupted here either, and takes off from Sorgi who looks keen to get to bed* May 25 00:37:39 * Morgan sets about his work May 25 00:40:38 * Molly has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) May 25 00:41:26 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) May 25 02:32:56 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 25 02:36:43 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) May 25 10:53:15 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 25 11:35:11 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) May 25 12:26:04 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 25 12:29:31 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 25 12:32:48 *there's no sign of the others, this shift meaning he doesn't have Home Church duties. He is due back on from eight until midnight, only giving him an eight hour break* May 25 12:35:24 * Morgan goes back below, once more getting coffee May 25 12:36:58 * MollyK and the others are in the study. Varick seems to be arguing with Molly May 25 12:37:15 * Morgan sips his coffee, watching them May 25 12:37:22 I understand, Mauschen, but perhaps she is safer staying in with us May 25 12:37:33 V: She wants to fly, Mama! May 25 12:37:41 [This is my doing?] May 25 12:37:47 B: *she shouts* Fly! May 25 12:38:07 *Emil copies from Molly's hip* Eye! May 25 12:38:44 [I am trying to explain why she should stay in, yes] May 25 12:39:03 [but you were right] May 25 12:40:08 *Varick keeps going, as does the bird* May 25 12:40:41 * MollyK looks a little frustrated "Perhaps we can ask Vati what he thinks we should do" May 25 12:41:08 * Morgan leans against the desk, sipping his coffee May 25 12:42:22 Alright, Varick... what happened was when I came in yesterday morning, Bir was out flying and I got worried that she would try to fly off and end up in the sea... Mama disagreed with me, and she was right. As long as Bir stays around the ship, it shouldn't be a problem May 25 12:43:34 *Varick nods like he understands* ohhh... I'll remind her, Vati May 25 12:43:45 * Morgan looks at Molly May 25 12:44:00 You were right. She's been fine until now, there's no reason to think that'd change May 25 12:44:28 * MollyK nods, smiling "I can understand why you were concerned" May 25 12:44:34 B: Fly! May 25 12:44:47 E: Eye! Bir Eye! May 25 12:45:16 * Morgan shrugs slightly May 25 12:45:34 I'll let you let her out May 25 12:47:53 *Varick opens the window, and Bir flies to it. Emil watches excitedly "Eye!"* May 25 12:51:05 * Morgan watches them, sipping his coffee May 25 12:53:02 *Bir goes out. Emil wants to be held by the window to watch, so Varick kneels on the window seat watching and holding him. Inga and HH join them, Molly coming to Morgan May 25 12:53:16 I'm sorry, that was what I thought you preferred... May 25 12:53:34 It is... but.. you were right. May 25 12:55:23 * MollyK nods, glancing over as Emil laughs May 25 12:55:38 How was your command? May 25 12:55:51 steady May 25 12:58:09 * MollyK smiles May 25 12:58:20 Good.

Molly wasn't there, so... I stayed closed off and angry. Got sent to this cottage to collect rents that were overdue, and it was Molly... and she had Florrie, same age as Jana had been... May 25 15:00:15 Ooookay... how'd that 'appen? May 25 15:01:58 Alice had died...she took Florrie on May 25 15:02:40 They met e'en without you spottin' Florrie... okay, go on May 25 15:03:39 I was even less prepared for it... people had been talking that Molly was a witch but... its Florries ability... I'd gone to visit a second time, and Molly goes out to get some milk and gets taken May 25 15:05:12 Taken by what? May 25 15:06:45 Some of the queens men, and a local lord... leaving me with Florrie. We looked for her but... couldn't find her, so I'm stuck with this girl who looks exactly like Jana. I can''t just leave her, so... I got her fed, put to bed... while I was waiting, I fell asleep and woke up... *he takes a breath* someone was setting fire to the cottage May 25 15:08:06 Holy shit, man May 25 15:09:53 * Morgan nods May 25 15:10:12 She died? May 25 15:11:45 No. I dragged one of the men inside, upstairs so I could get to Florrie. She's made like... a dome of bramble to protect herself. I got the names of the people involved from the man, knocked him unconscious and got Florrie. Halfway down the stairs, part of it collapsed, blocking the way out... then behind us... All I could do was try to make her as calm as possible while we waited to die May 25 15:13:23 * HH sits up and opens his arms "fuck, man" May 25 15:13:44 * Morgan moves to him, leaning against him May 25 15:14:33 It was awful... looking at her, waiting for the fire... my fingers start tingling, really bad... then there's this big release of pressure and the fires just... less. May 25 15:17:36 * HH hugs him May 25 15:18:06 Shit... lucky timing, but... May 25 15:18:12 * Morgan nods May 25 15:18:35 We hightailed it out of there, back to Catherines. I'd just sent for her to be woken, and some milk and a blanket for Florrie when I woke up May 25 15:21:41 Was bad enough seein' her this time round May 25 15:21:48 * Morgan nods May 25 15:22:04 Was awful... and the feelings.. they linger man May 25 15:24:05 * HH nods May 25 15:24:13 Musta been scary as fuck May 25 15:25:05 * Morgan nods May 25 15:25:22 Gut wrenching.
