**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed May 31 00:01:48 2023 May 31 00:01:48 It must be about three? Are you getting up for your watch at four? May 31 00:02:18 I suppose I am May 31 00:04:21 * Molly kisses him softly May 31 00:04:33 And you are sure you are alright? May 31 00:04:39 * Morgan nods May 31 00:04:42 I'll be fine May 31 00:06:14 We will see you again after eight? Then you only have first dogs, I think May 31 00:06:24 I'll want to bring her in May 31 00:06:35 Bring who in? May 31 00:07:38 The ship May 31 00:08:09 Oh, yes, sorry May 31 00:09:29 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) May 31 00:52:57 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) May 31 09:14:05 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 31 13:45:07 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 31 13:45:43 We will land at Morgan's Rock rather than take her into Tawstock? May 31 13:46:24 * Morgan nods May 31 13:46:32 I think so. We can take the skiff over to taw stock May 31 13:48:01 * Morgan climbs out of bed, pulling on his clothes May 31 13:53:13 There'll be repro-... I don't know why I am telling you this! *she smiles, yawning* May 31 13:54:11 Reprowhat? May 31 13:56:52 Reprovising to do May 31 13:58:00 * Morgan nods May 31 13:58:09 You think we should stop in Tawstock first? May 31 14:01:01 No May 31 14:01:28 * Morgan nods, pulling his boots on May 31 14:05:00 Will you work extra today as it is your final full day? May 31 14:05:14 I might do... I might not. We'll see May 31 14:07:29 * MollyK nods May 31 14:07:40 Alright, my love May 31 14:08:56 * Morgan moves back to kiss her cheek May 31 14:09:00 I'll see you in a while love May 31 14:12:48 * MollyK catches hold of him and kisses his lips before saying "Aye aye, Captain" with a smile May 31 14:14:06 * Morgan rolls his eyes before quietly leaving to get coffee and head up on deck May 31 14:16:31 * MollyK is now known as Claudia May 31 14:16:38 * Claudia is on watch May 31 14:17:34 * Morgan wanders over to her May 31 14:17:35 Morning May 31 14:19:24 Hey May 31 14:19:42 You ok? May 31 14:21:50 Yeah, you? May 31 14:22:07 No worse than normal May 31 14:23:20 * Claudia nods May 31 14:24:12 We should get there late tomorrow May 31 14:24:24 * Morgan nods May 31 14:24:43 We'll go straight to the island. We can reprovision Thursday in Tawstock May 31 14:26:47 * Claudia nods May 31 14:27:07 We've got to stay long enough for visiting? May 31 14:28:01 Just a little. I want to see Catherine, and Molly will want to see her brothers May 31 14:28:25 * Claudia nods May 31 14:28:41 You haven't forgotten that the draw will happen? May 31 14:29:15 No, I haven't May 31 14:30:55 * Claudia nods May 31 14:31:15 I wonder if Uinise would be effected May 31 14:31:20 Affected* May 31 14:31:28 I wouldn't be surprised May 31 14:33:01 * Claudia nods May 31 14:33:42 Me either May 31 14:33:49 She tells me she's learning to play our games May 31 14:35:53 * Claudia nods May 31 14:36:41 She must be reading some trashy romance novels May 31 14:37:31 * Morgan nods May 31 14:37:33 Sounds about right May 31 14:39:07 Are you taking her to Catherine? May 31 14:39:36 * Morgan nods May 31 14:39:38 I was planning to May 31 14:43:29 * Claudia nods May 31 14:43:36 Take care of her May 31 14:44:17 * Morgan sips his coffee May 31 14:44:19 You're coming May 31 14:46:16 You're planning to leave Heinzharold to look out for Molly? Or is it the other way around now? May 31 14:47:45 She's quite capable... but I imagine Inga will want to go with her, so it won't take much to push HeinzHarold into staying with them May 31 14:49:13 * Claudia nods May 31 14:50:11 Sorgi will taking back over when we dock? May 31 14:50:21 * Morgan nods May 31 14:50:34 I want to guide her in... last act, so to speak May 31 14:52:31 * Claudia nods May 31 14:52:57 Then you're free to be the patriarch again May 31 14:53:37 * Morgan nods May 31 14:53:39 yes May 31 14:56:49 Both looking forward to it and not... May 31 14:58:36 * Claudia nods May 31 14:58:53 It's not my thing May 31 15:00:02 No, I know May 31 15:02:10 Thought some more about sailing for some time after you're settled May 31 15:02:13 ? May 31 15:04:28 Not really... between working and nightmares, I've not had time of much May 31 15:07:08 Still going? May 31 15:07:31 The nightmares? Of course May 31 15:08:52 Wouldn't be you without them? May 31 15:09:36 I rather liked who I was without them May 31 15:13:03 More like Heinzharold May 31 15:14:11 More like me May 31 15:14:48 * Claudia nods May 31 15:15:19 Seems stupid to expect you to do what you have to do if you're always going to be distracted by them May 31 15:15:46 * Morgan nods May 31 15:15:58 Yeah... they're working on it apparently May 31 15:18:42 Reckon it'll work? May 31 15:18:56 Nope May 31 15:19:14 * Morgan smiles slightly May 31 15:19:27 I need to find a way to deal with it better since they're no use May 31 15:22:04 Any idea how? May 31 15:23:07 Not even a little May 31 15:26:12 * Claudia nods May 31 15:26:35 I'm off to bed, I'm back in four hours May 31 15:27:21 * Morgan nods May 31 15:27:24 I'll see you then May 31 15:32:26 * Claudia goes below. He gets to get the Rose sailing at half light, and can now see the Avalon coastline again. He hasn't been in Avalon since November, and they've been through quite a lot in the three and a half months since then May 31 15:33:06 * Morgan watches the coast line for a little while May 31 15:35:44 *it's fairly mild, for mid March, but it would be very unpleasant just strolling around in breeches here as they did in Capperlucia. His watch ends just as the rain starts* May 31 15:36:06 * Morgan goes below to get breakfast May 31 15:41:33 *In the study everyone seems to be cleaning and tidying, even Heinzharold is dusting the top of the bookshelves whilst Bir sits up there shouting "dust! Dust!" May 31 15:42:38 * Morgan sits down, putting his feet on the desk as he watches them May 31 15:46:03 *Varick is the first to notice* Vati! You can't do that! May 31 15:46:08 * Claudia is now known as Molly May 31 15:46:24 * Molly looks over, frowning ever so slightly May 31 15:46:45 * Morgan looks down at the chair, and then to his feet May 31 15:46:49 Looks like I can... May 31 15:48:21 V: But Vati, you would tell me off for that! May 31 15:48:28 HH: Yeah, and me! May 31 15:49:02 * Morgan grunts, getting off the chair May 31 15:49:11 Not like I've been on duty since four in the morning May 31 15:52:09 * Molly comes behind him and kisses his crown May 31 15:52:21 Why don't you take a little nap, my love? May 31 15:52:40 No... there's work to be done May 31 15:54:21 We have everything under control May 31 15:54:39 V: look, even Emil is helping! May 31 15:55:02 * Morgan looks for him May 31 15:59:04 *Emil is crawling around with dusting cloths tied to his knees* May 31 15:59:54 * Morgan smiles slightly May 31 15:59:58 Alright, give me a cloth May 31 16:01:16 Eat your breakfast, my love, the dirt will still be here May 31 16:03:27 No, its fine. Lets get this done May 31 16:08:21 *they get back to work, giving it a deep clean. When it's done, the others are going on to the other rooms to prepare for their guests, but Emil wants to be in Morgan's lap May 31 16:09:21 * Morgan takes him, sitting him in his lap while he eats May 31 16:11:40 * Molly is now known as Emil May 31 16:12:24 * Emil doesn't seem bothered that everyone else has gone, but picks up bits of Morgan's food to put in his own mouth May 31 16:12:47 Missing me little man? May 31 16:17:51 * Emil tries to put a piece of toast in Morgan's mouth May 31 16:18:45 * Morgan lets him, making a mmm noise May 31 16:19:45 * Emil grins, doing it again May 31 16:20:14 * Morgan does it again May 31 16:24:37 * Emil does this quite a while, never seeming to lose interest in the process of watching Morgan eat it. It's just the two of them and Bir, who seems happy strutting along the top of the shelves May 31 16:25:41 * Morgan cuddles the boy to him, rocking him May 31 16:27:21 * Emil starts to look a little sleepy May 31 16:27:40 Bit early for that isn't it? May 31 16:29:38 * Emil yawns, holding his shirt May 31 16:29:58 * Morgan sighs quietly, rocking him May 31 16:30:01 Alright lad May 31 16:33:26 * Emil does start to drift off, and after his own shorter night makes Morgan tired too May 31 16:34:35 * Morgan moves to the couch, settling with the boy May 31 16:38:45 * Emil stays asleep May 31 17:34:49 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) May 31 18:21:54 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 31 19:35:08 * Emil has quit (Read error: EOF from client) May 31 19:40:36 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined May 31 19:42:09 *he finds he gets more sleepy until he's dozing* May 31 19:43:10 * Morgan gives in and dozes May 31 19:55:40 *he dreams of the view from the roof of Hafenlohr, looking out over the estate. He can hear lots of children laughing and playing down on the lawn, and sees a couple of small boats on the lake. His hands look wrinkled, the hands of a much older man, but he feels a sense of peace. There's a scar across the back of his left hand, it looks like an old May 31 19:55:40 burn. He hears Varick shout "Emil, Shall we hunt?". The boy's voice is no longer that of a child, but of a man fully into adulthood. He can spot Emil over the edge of the building, tall, dark, very handsome, and he must be about thirty. There's a child with hair as dark as his but pale skin on his hip, maybe three or four. When she sees him with May 31 19:55:40 eyes like Zareen's she waves and calls "Ban-ba!". Then he wakes up* May 31 19:56:50 * Morgan fidgets, sitting up more May 31 20:01:43 * MollyK is now known as Emil May 31 20:01:53 * Emil is still snoozing and comfortable May 31 20:02:49 * Morgan relaxes, just sitting and holding his son May 31 20:07:38 *Bir comes to land on Morgan's shoulder, looking at the baby* May 31 20:08:21 * Morgan reaches up, gently rubbing Bir's beak May 31 20:10:55 *she spreads her wing over his head* May 31 20:11:34 * Morgan smiles, still stroking her beak May 31 20:19:35 * Emil starts rooting against Morgan's chest, and Bir says "Bubbies" May 31 20:19:54 [Emil wants feeding love. And someone has taught Bir the word bubbies] May 31 20:22:13 [oh dear] May 31 20:22:52 [indeed] May 31 20:26:37 * Emil tries to sit up in once he realises there's no bubbies May 31 20:26:49 * Morgan helps him May 31 20:26:55 Its alright, Mama's on her way soon May 31 20:29:29 * Emil is now known as Molly May 31 20:29:55 * Molly comes back in, and Bir flies back to the bookshelves May 31 20:30:12 *Emil predictably starts to cry when he sees her* May 31 20:30:22 Master manipulator May 31 20:35:59 * Molly smiles, picking him up May 31 20:36:35 You're just hungry, aren't you, my little lamb, hmm? Have you been sleeping with your daddy? May 31 20:37:17 We had a little nap May 31 20:39:16 * Molly sits beside Morgan, trying to undo her dress as the boy simultaneously tries to grab her breast with a hand down her neckline May 31 20:39:37 Emil! What are your manners?! *she laughs* May 31 20:40:18 He's keen, I'll give him that May 31 20:42:00 * Molly nods, managing to bare a breast. Bir says "Bubbies" again May 31 20:42:53 Who taught her that? May 31 20:45:11 I think she's just picked it up May 31 20:45:19 * Morgan nods May 31 20:45:22 She's a smart bird May 31 20:45:39 * Molly gets Emil latched before leaning against Morgan a little May 31 20:46:41 She is May 31 20:46:52 * Morgan nods May 31 20:49:44 * Molly relaxes with a sigh, getting comfortable May 31 20:49:49 How are you? May 31 20:50:34 'M alright. Need to work out how long we'll be staying at the island May 31 20:53:18 Not long I think. Enough time to provision and see family. We could perhaps set off again on friday May 31 20:53:43 Thats what I was thinking. I'll be taking Uinise to meet Catherine, assuming she's home May 31 20:56:13 * Molly nods May 31 20:56:21 Will you come to Sunnymeade too? May 31 20:57:21 For a while. I was thinking I'd leave you at Sunnymeade, take Uinise to Catherine for a while, then come back, and send her back to the ship with Claudia May 31 20:59:24 * Molly nods May 31 20:59:44 But I am sure Beth would like to see you, and the children too May 31 21:00:34 * Morgan nods May 31 21:00:48 I'll come back, don't worry. I won't spend the whole time with Catherine May 31 21:01:27 * Molly smiles May 31 21:01:53 Good. It will be loud though! May 31 21:02:10 * Morgan nods May 31 21:02:14 I've no doubt of that May 31 21:07:15 * Molly smiles May 31 21:07:27 It'll be good practice for our own brood May 31 21:07:49 * Morgan nods May 31 21:07:57 Yes, it will. How do you think they'll react to this one? May 31 21:12:07 * Molly smiles "I'm not sure. Beth will be happy, Peter... well, who knows really. I don't think Caro and James will be there, we aren't staying long enough really" May 31 21:13:43 A pity. Though Alice could probably send word this evening... May 31 21:15:42 But how do we explain that? May 31 21:16:42 They're Avalonian, why would they care about a bit of magic May 31 21:17:50 well... -mostly- Avalonian May 31 21:20:06 I suppose so... May 31 21:23:48 Just an idea May 31 21:25:53 Do you wish to do that? I'm rather a little busy here... May 31 21:26:44 * Morgan nods, getting up to write the note and put it on the mirror May 31 21:28:44 * Molly has swapped breasts when he comes back May 31 21:30:10 done May 31 21:32:29 * Molly nods "that'll be nice" May 31 21:32:39 * Morgan nods May 31 21:35:16 You are going to want to heal Elsie soon after we sail? May 31 21:41:23 * Molly nods May 31 21:41:39 I think that's sensible, but not until after the sparkliness May 31 21:41:47 * Morgan nods May 31 21:41:49 yes May 31 21:44:40 It's better that we resolve that smoothly first May 31 21:44:52 * Morgan nods May 31 21:44:53 Yes it is May 31 22:08:51 I hope I can help her May 31 22:09:05 You're more capable than you were love, and look what you accomplished May 31 22:15:52 * Molly nods May 31 22:16:08 I know. It's just that I know it would mean much to them May 31 22:16:24 * Morgan nods May 31 22:16:26 Aye, I know May 31 22:18:23 Will we go to the wedding? May 31 22:19:18 Is there a reason you would not wish to? May 31 22:21:10 No, but we seem to have social engagements coming out of our ears! May 31 22:21:18 * Morgan nods May 31 22:21:22 We do May 31 22:24:08 We'll need to see how it fits in May 31 22:24:33 * Morgan nods May 31 22:24:40 We'll see how much they want us there May 31 22:26:32 I did rather save her life... May 31 22:26:44 * Morgan nods May 31 22:26:45 Indeed May 31 22:32:36 * Molly looks at Emil, stroking his hair May 31 22:32:46 He doesn't seem too upset by the cold May 31 22:33:14 No, he doesn't. Even Bir is handling it well so far May 31 22:37:00 * Molly nods May 31 22:37:26 That is good, because Catterick is cooler than Gottkirchen May 31 22:37:35 * Morgan nods sadly May 31 22:37:37 Yes it is May 31 22:39:22 * Molly looks at him May 31 22:39:28 You want to keep her. May 31 22:40:25 * Morgan sighs May 31 22:40:28 I'll manage May 31 22:46:11 She is sweet May 31 22:46:16 * Morgan nods May 31 22:46:32 When I woke up, she came and sat on my shoulder and covered my head with her wings again May 31 22:49:24 That's very cute, isn't it? May 31 22:50:50 * Morgan nods May 31 22:50:54 No idea why she does it May 31 22:53:43 Maybe she sees us all hug and that is what she is doin? May 31 22:54:19 * Morgan shrugs May 31 22:54:20 maybe May 31 22:55:46 * Molly watches Emil go off and on the breast May 31 22:56:13 He can't seem to decide if he wants them or not! May 31 22:57:21 He's not... what did she call it... cluster feeding? May 31 22:59:28 No, he seems to have settled with that. I think he's just indecisive May 31 23:00:43 Habit perhaps, wake up, feed... May 31 23:04:07 * Molly nods May 31 23:04:33 It's not uncommon for him to nurse now, I just think he is not sure if he is done yet May 31 23:05:25 * Morgan nods May 31 23:05:40 I see May 31 23:09:40 * Molly takes him off and sits him up May 31 23:10:03 Did you have the same nightmare last night? May 31 23:10:13 * Morgan nods May 31 23:10:14 aye May 31 23:11:57 What happened? May 31 23:13:40 What was the last thing I told you? May 31 23:15:39 I was taken away and Florrie was with you May 31 23:17:04 I see... well... I'd taken Florrie back to your cottage, and waited... and waited... I ended up putting Florrie to bed, and tidying but... you didn't return May 31 23:19:09 I fell asleep... and woke up to the smell of smoke. Someone tried to burn the cottage down with Florrie inside May 31 23:20:48 * Molly looks upset, holding Emil closer "what monsters!" May 31 23:22:40 I grabbed one of the men, dragged him upstairs... Got a few answers out of him and left him to burn. Florrie had cocooned herself in brambles, but... she came out. As we tried to escape, going down the stairs, part of the building collapsed, trapping us on the stairs May 31 23:23:20 * Molly takes a deep breath May 31 23:23:26 My god, that's terrible May 31 23:23:33 * Morgan nods May 31 23:23:58 I wrapped us in a blanket, holding her close and waited for the end. My magic had other ideas and made its first appearance, and we could escape May 31 23:26:33 * Molly frowns May 31 23:27:13 This is horrible. It has too many parallels to reality, doesn't it? May 31 23:27:35 * Morgan nods May 31 23:28:45 Figured I was going to know what they went through. Anyway, I took her to Catherines. She was... childish. Sebastien was around with Leopold looking for their relatives... Sebastien figured out who I was from what HeinzHarold had told him in the war May 31 23:31:13 * Molly nods slowly "My grandfather was there to find out the truth?" May 31 23:31:25 * Morgan nods May 31 23:32:04 Sebastien and he agreed to go looking for you since Catherine insisted I stay in Tawstock... I kept Florrie with me. Once I drew you for them, they realised you were related May 31 23:34:39 Oh... no wonder they were wanting to look for me. He would have realised that perhaps I actually could do make if he knew they thought I was a witch May 31 23:35:09 No... they just wanted their family. May 31 23:39:30 What happened then? May 31 23:40:23 Uhhh, they set off... I explained a little of who Florrie is to Catherine. But she still has no idea who I am May 31 23:41:41 So you now have a child, and there's every chance I am not coming back for her May 31 23:42:20 * Morgan nods May 31 23:42:29 And thats about where it is at the moment May 31 23:45:05 Oh dear! *she pats Emil's back* what on Theah will you do?! May 31 23:45:34 * Morgan shrugs May 31 23:45:36 I've got no idea May 31 23:46:58 Maybe you'll be lucky and I will come back to take her May 31 23:47:36 * Morgan shrugs May 31 23:47:38 maybe May 31 23:50:11 I would have to leave Avalon, wouldn't I? May 31 23:50:38 Oh yes. Sebastien already plans to say you're married to him May 31 23:53:12 Very lucky that there is nothing between you and I then! May 31 23:53:33 * Morgan nods May 31 23:55:26 If I survive it, it should be simple then? Florrie and I go with Seb to Insel, you go back to work? May 31 23:55:48 Should be May 31 23:58:55 But... is it ever? May 31 23:59:18 No.
