Jun 02 20:50:52 Being away from my family has been difficult Jun 02 20:51:34 It has been easier the last two weeks than the first Jun 02 20:51:58 Because we've not been sailing overnight Jun 02 20:52:16 * MollyK nods Jun 02 20:52:26 Which means we have been able to be intimate Jun 02 20:52:49 * Morgan nods Jun 02 20:56:24 And that makes it so much easier for me Jun 02 20:56:31 * Morgan nods Jun 02 20:56:34 Aye I know Jun 02 21:03:11 That is your fault for being so gorgeous Jun 02 21:04:44 * Morgan snorts Jun 02 21:04:48 Don't be ridiculous Jun 02 21:05:24 * MollyK smiles Jun 02 21:05:46 Why else would I wish to be intimate with you all the time Jun 02 21:06:26 * Morgan shrugs Jun 02 21:06:29 I've no idea Jun 02 21:13:13 * MollyK smiles, looking at Emil "Maybe it's to have lots more babies, hmm?" Jun 02 21:14:04 A sound enough reason Jun 02 21:16:17 That doesn't explain why I would when we know it won't be until autumn Jun 02 21:16:30 No... true Jun 02 21:23:48 And the same for you... why would you want to when there's no baby to come yet Jun 02 21:24:40 I've made it clear any number if times Jun 02 21:28:49 * MollyK kisses his cheek "I do recall many of them very fondly" Jun 02 21:29:37 * Morgan nods Jun 02 21:32:40 *someone knocks on the door* Jun 02 21:33:29 * Morgan goes to the door, barring any view of Molly as he opens it Jun 02 21:36:53 *one of the sailors wants him to come and do a job* Jun 02 21:37:10 * Morgan nods, letting Molly know he'll be back when he can Jun 02 21:41:08 * MollyK nods. The job isn't difficult, but takes up most of the morning. When he gets back after having lunch with the crew, the boys are sleeping in their room, and she is asleep on the couch under a blanket Jun 02 21:42:13 * Morgan sighs, settling into a chair Jun 02 21:43:46 *it's all quiet. His next watch is at four o'clock* Jun 02 21:44:07 * Morgan fidgets until he's comfortable enough to doze Jun 02 21:47:18 *He can tell he's slipped into her dreams again. He can hear the sound of two horses even as he stands within the very fancy blue and gold drawing room in Innesbruck, and by the time he arrives to the main door he can hear the chatter. It's Molly and Heinzharold, but he can't make out the Avalon words til he gets closer. He notices he is wearing Jun 02 21:47:18 his first wedding ring and still has Dietlinde's ring on a thong around his neck. Jun 02 21:47:18 "And how, mein knuddelbärchen ((little cuddle bear)), are you going to explain that cut to your forehead?" She giggles from within the stable. Jun 02 21:47:18 Heinzharold replies casually "I thought I would be honest and tell him that it was sexual misadventure". "Heinzharold!! You would not!" She laughs, shocked. Jun 02 21:47:41 "No, little darlin'. I will have some explaining to do about the betrothal before that. Besides, Morgan is… not prudish exactly, but he closed himself off after Dietlinde died, and he isn't as easy-going and uninhibited as he once was, though he is better with his daughter than he first was ." Jun 02 21:47:41 "Will he like me? I hope I get all the curtseying and My Lording right, I've never met a noble before! I have so much to learn" Jun 02 21:48:57 "He will like you because I like you" She giggles. He speaks again, playfully "Let's go. You can't be trusted in the stables". She shrieks, then giggles with embarrassment, and there's a sound of her slapping his arm "Oh my goodness! I hope you're going to behave, Heinzharold!". He laughs "I wouldn't like to say, this early!" He leads her out on Jun 02 21:48:57 his arm, reins holding one horse in the other. Molly's hair is softly restrained, and her brown dress is less fancy even than Catherine's cast offs. She doesn't look like a Gentleman's daughter, but a common girl. Jun 02 21:50:29 * Morgan stands in the doorway, watching them Jun 02 21:52:33 * MollyK doesn't notice him at first, watching HH Jun 02 21:52:56 HH: Hey man, lookie what I found in Durham Jun 02 21:53:58 * MollyK looks up, blushing and smiling shyly Jun 02 21:54:06 * Morgan looks at her, inclining his head Jun 02 21:58:33 HH: Morgan, this is Molly. Molly, this is 'is Lordship Morgan Jun 02 21:58:57 * MollyK curtsies awkwardly "I'm pleased to meet you" Jun 02 21:59:47 * Morgan smiles slightly Jun 02 22:00:06 That'll pass. Come in, we'll get some tea Jun 02 22:01:56 * MollyK 's eyes light up Jun 02 22:02:02 Yes, please! Jun 02 22:03:06 *they follow him in, ending up in the blue and gold drawing room where somehow there's already a teapot and cups. She looks awed by it* Jun 02 22:04:24 * Morgan pours the tea, nodding to the chairs Jun 02 22:04:25 Have a seat Jun 02 22:06:53 * MollyK does so very carefully, hands neatly in her lap Jun 02 22:07:15 *HH stays standing* I can't stop I gotta go tell my Ma th' news Jun 02 22:07:24 News? Jun 02 22:07:46 HH: I'm gettin' married Jun 02 22:08:11 Oh really? Jun 02 22:11:34 *He nods* was a bit o' a whirlwind, but... *he smiles*... yeah, couldn't come home without her Jun 02 22:12:04 I see. Congratulations Jun 02 22:15:46 HH: wondered if I can leave 'er here with you th' night, so I can break it to Ma an' wait for th' screaming to stop Jun 02 22:16:09 * Morgan nods Jun 02 22:16:17 I'll have one of the guest rooms made up Jun 02 22:17:35 *HH nods* thanks man Jun 02 22:20:24 * Morgan nods Jun 02 22:20:42 Of course. Make sure your ma knows I had nothing to do with it Jun 02 22:23:02 *He laughs* yeah, will do *he kisses Molly's cheek* Be good, yeah? No pranks or anythin', okay? Jun 02 22:23:23 * MollyK nods, smiling "Will you come back for me?" Jun 02 22:24:11 HH grins: through hell or 'ighwater, I'm always comin' for you Jun 02 22:25:25 * MollyK blushes, smiling. He hugs Morgan "Don' take any nonsense fr'm her. If she gets wayward, lock her in th' stables" Jun 02 22:25:56 * Morgan nods Jun 02 22:26:02 I'll keep it in mind Jun 02 22:28:17 *HH goes out, whistling. She smiles* Jun 02 22:28:27 I won't misbehave, my Lord, I swear Jun 02 22:28:47 Thats good to know Jun 02 22:30:20 * MollyK nods, watching from the window as Heinzharold rides off Jun 02 22:31:40 He won't be gone too long Jun 02 22:36:52 No. I just hope she isn't too angry Jun 02 22:37:09 She'll calm down Jun 02 22:40:00 * MollyK nods "it was all quite sudden, but... sometimes it happens that way" Jun 02 22:40:11 * Morgan nods Jun 02 22:40:32 Yes, it does. She'll be livid for a little while but she's a loving woman really Jun 02 22:43:36 * MollyK smiles Jun 02 22:43:45 Your house is so beautiful Jun 02 22:44:51 * Morgan smiles slightly, nodding Jun 02 22:44:57 Its a bit out of the way Jun 02 22:46:52 * MollyK looks around Jun 02 22:47:34 I've never been somewhere like this! You have -colours- everywhere, not just stone and white wash! Jun 02 22:48:11 Its expected... have to show off to the other nobles... its a bit sad really Jun 02 22:51:14 * MollyK looks at him Jun 02 22:51:34 Heinzharold did tell me you weren't like normal nobles... Jun 02 22:51:47 Did he Jun 02 22:53:03 * MollyK nods, smiling Jun 02 22:53:44 He told me lots about you, that you were his best friend as a child. We got stuck in a forest one night and we talked for ours Jun 02 22:53:47 Hours* Jun 02 22:54:10 * Morgan shudders slightly, but nods Jun 02 22:56:46 He got hurt, you see. He twisted his ankle really badly Jun 02 22:57:27 Oh? Must've hurt Jun 02 22:59:56 * MollyK nods "He was very brave though" Jun 02 23:00:54 He always has been Jun 02 23:01:46 * MollyK smiles Jun 02 23:01:54 It was my fault, I scared him Jun 02 23:02:32 How? Jun 02 23:03:26 He wasn't expecting a woman in the woods at night, and the hair... he thought I was something supernatural Jun 02 23:03:50 * Morgan nods Jun 02 23:04:01 Thats a result of growing up in Sudlachenburg Jun 02 23:05:07 * MollyK nods "he realises I was just a normal girl after a while" Jun 02 23:05:21 * Morgan nods Jun 02 23:05:26 And then you started getting along... Jun 02 23:07:49 * MollyK nods, smiling "oh yes, right away" Jun 02 23:10:42 * Morgan nods Jun 02 23:11:03 We were both trying to find my uncle, you see? Before he gets in trouble with the law Jun 02 23:12:19 Oh? Why so? Jun 02 23:13:46 Because he is a pagan, and people are joining in with him Jun 02 23:14:23 Why would HeinzHarold be looking for a pagan man? Jun 02 23:16:52 Oh I think Lord Hockridge asked him to. No one wants the Queen's Men coming to poke around Jun 02 23:17:16 * Morgan nods Jun 02 23:17:20 I suppose not Jun 02 23:18:42 We were both looking for him, but we found each other *she smiles* Jun 02 23:19:02 Thats rather nice Jun 02 23:20:50 * MollyK nods "he said maybe you'd disapprove of the rush we've been in, but we do really love each other. He said you had that with your wife too" Jun 02 23:23:04 * Morgan nods Jun 02 23:23:18 Yes, I did. It was like... hearing a bell ring. Jun 02 23:23:39 * MollyK smiles "that's sweet" Jun 02 23:24:45 I suppose it is, yes Jun 02 23:25:52 Might I meet your daughter while I stay? Jun 02 23:27:46 I would think so, yes Jun 02 23:29:24 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
