**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jul 6 00:01:15 2023 Jul 06 00:01:15 * Molly sits beside him Jul 06 00:03:46 * Morgan holds the book out so she can see it Jul 06 00:03:58 * Molly nods, swallowing Jul 06 00:04:15 It's a good sketch, my love. You've captured them well Jul 06 00:04:23 You find this difficult Jul 06 00:04:51 Silly, isn't it? But I also love to see what you draw, and how you draw Jul 06 00:05:37 Its not silly... what is it that gives you pause? Jul 06 00:06:23 I have dreamt them enough that I feel almost like I know them Jul 06 00:07:15 * Morgan nods Jul 06 00:08:05 I don't wake with my love for Seb still there, but I can still feel how I love them in those dreams Jul 06 00:08:16 * Morgan nods, frowning Jul 06 00:08:27 Its complicated Jul 06 00:08:35 * Molly nods Jul 06 00:08:39 I imagine it is Jul 06 00:11:26 * Morgan nods Jul 06 00:11:52 Though you do not resent that I know her there, you envy it? Jul 06 00:12:10 * Morgan nods Jul 06 00:12:11 Yes Jul 06 00:12:21 * Molly nods Jul 06 00:13:21 It's complicated too to know and love someone that is so much a part of the first chapter of your life when that has always felt so separate from the current one Jul 06 00:14:06 * Morgan nods Jul 06 00:14:23 Its difficult that.. in those dreams, you have known her much longer than I did. Jul 06 00:14:50 * Molly nods Jul 06 00:15:57 But I don't really have any memories of things other than what I've dreamed. I don't recall her as a child, though I know the family connections were there and she and my son were friends a long time before they wed Jul 06 00:16:17 * Morgan nods Jul 06 00:17:48 I have many children on that path, but I only know Tomas, Jana, the naughty twins, a baby called Ursula, and baby Sonnenshien Jul 06 00:18:09 * Morgan nods Jul 06 00:19:21 But those children, I know them, their spirits. I love many people I will never know Jul 06 00:19:41 Its rather heartbreaking isn't it Jul 06 00:20:00 * Molly nods Jul 06 00:20:51 It is difficult, knowing that they won't exist because our respective children are not able to meet and wed Jul 06 00:24:04 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jul 06 01:19:46 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jul 06 09:05:13 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Jul 06 09:50:29 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Jul 06 09:52:25 * Morgan nods Jul 06 09:52:36 Yes. It is Jul 06 09:54:33 * MollyK looks at the sketch Jul 06 09:54:43 And that is complicated too Jul 06 09:55:27 Is it? Jul 06 09:57:10 Because my son Tomas is Seb's son also Jul 06 09:57:33 * Morgan nods Jul 06 09:57:36 yeah Jul 06 10:01:46 Which makes it difficult. I don't wish to have children with him, but my son is... was... would have been a good man Jul 06 10:02:04 * Morgan nods Jul 06 10:02:12 I understand that Jul 06 10:02:22 * MollyK nods Jul 06 10:02:37 Do you need some reassurance? Jul 06 10:02:52 * Morgan shrugs Jul 06 10:03:10 You've already said you don't wish to be with him or have his children... Jul 06 10:04:58 Yes...? Jul 06 10:05:17 There isn't much else to say Jul 06 10:07:08 * MollyK nods Jul 06 10:07:34 They would have been very happy Jul 06 10:07:39 * Morgan nods Jul 06 10:07:42 They would have, yes Jul 06 10:11:31 Is that good? Jul 06 10:13:16 * Morgan shrugs Jul 06 10:13:18 It is what it is Jul 06 10:15:52 * MollyK nods, leaning her cheek to his arm Jul 06 10:16:19 It's not where we are, and it is better that if we have to see it they are happy there Jul 06 10:16:31 * Morgan nods Jul 06 10:16:34 Yes, I suppose so Jul 06 10:18:06 * MollyK nods Jul 06 10:18:25 Your work is beautiful, I'm glad to see you sketching again Jul 06 10:19:16 I'm trying to find the joy in it again. Its difficult, given what I draw Jul 06 10:20:49 You can draw easier things, my love. Draw the boys together? Jul 06 10:21:46 * Morgan nods Jul 06 10:21:48 Its on my list Jul 06 10:23:07 * MollyK nods Jul 06 10:23:14 And Edward and Florrie? Jul 06 10:23:48 * Morgan nods Jul 06 10:23:54 I expect so Jul 06 10:25:15 * MollyK nods Jul 06 10:25:23 And you can always draw me Jul 06 10:26:06 * Morgan nods Jul 06 10:26:17 I was going to, but I wanted to get some of these finished Jul 06 10:27:18 * MollyK nods Jul 06 10:27:41 I will wake the boys then, and give you more time Jul 06 10:27:53 * Morgan nods Jul 06 10:28:05 I'm waiting for Uinise to wake before I see if she wants to join us this morning Jul 06 10:29:59 * MollyK nods Jul 06 10:30:14 Perhaps you should find her? Jul 06 10:31:16 She's a late sleeper apparently Jul 06 10:44:47 * MollyK nods, smiling as she can hear Varick talking to Emil Jul 06 10:44:53 Children would fix that! Jul 06 10:49:19 She has no interest in children Jul 06 10:55:24 * MollyK smiles Jul 06 10:56:23 I can't understand that at all. And I cannot wait to make some with you. *she kisses him gently* Jul 06 10:57:38 * Morgan nods Jul 06 10:57:45 Its her choice Jul 06 11:00:37 * MollyK nods, going to the boys Jul 06 11:01:48 * Morgan finishes up the sketch before checking the time Jul 06 11:03:46 *it's about nine. Bir comes to land by him, preening her feathers Jul 06 11:04:08 * Morgan reaches out, stroking her feathers Jul 06 11:04:12 How are you this morning? Jul 06 11:07:04 B: *she ruffles* Fly. Bir. Fly Jul 06 11:07:46 * Morgan gets up, putting his hand right in front of her feet Jul 06 11:07:48 Come on then Jul 06 11:10:22 *she gets onto his hand* Jul 06 11:10:46 * Morgan carries her to the window, opening it Jul 06 11:10:48 Go on then Jul 06 11:13:00 *Bir flies out and over the water* Jul 06 11:13:28 * Morgan watches her Jul 06 11:16:48 *She seems quite content flying around, very colourful against the sky. After five minutes she comes back in* Jul 06 11:18:19 * Morgan offers her some seeds as he strokes her feathers Jul 06 11:18:54 B: Muah! Jul 06 11:19:29 * Morgan laughs, bringing her closer and kissing her head Jul 06 11:22:02 B: Bir kiss Muah! Jul 06 11:24:30 You're such a sweetheart... I'm gonn' miss you Jul 06 11:26:56 *Bir climbs up onto his shoulder, covering his head with her wing* Jul 06 11:28:02 * Morgan reaches up, stroking her beak as she does so Jul 06 11:29:19 *she's good at not digging in her talons. Varick comes out of the room fully dressed* Jul 06 11:29:24 * MollyK is now known as Varick Jul 06 11:29:32 Good morning Vati Jul 06 11:30:04 Good morning Varick. How did you sleep? Jul 06 11:30:51 Okay. I dreamt I was a hawk, and I was looking for mice Jul 06 11:31:49 Oh really? Jul 06 11:32:19 I was hungry. Now I'm hungry too Jul 06 11:32:47 * Morgan nods Jul 06 11:32:53 Breakfast then Jul 06 11:34:34 * Varick nods, looking at Bir Jul 06 11:34:39 She's hugging you Jul 06 11:35:10 * Morgan nods Jul 06 11:35:12 She's very sweet Jul 06 11:36:16 * Varick nods Jul 06 11:36:30 Ulysses is a bit scared of her Jul 06 11:36:36 Oh? Jul 06 11:41:43 She has big wings and talons Jul 06 11:43:40 * Morgan nods Jul 06 11:44:06 I suppose so. Do you think Captain Ulysses will want to come live with us? Jul 06 11:46:13 * Varick nods "I think so, but will Sorgi be lonely?" Jul 06 11:46:47 I'll talk to him. Maybe he can have another ships cat? Jul 06 11:51:50 But what if I want that cat too? Jul 06 11:52:45 Well, maybe we'll let Sorgi get it once we're on our way home Jul 06 11:54:41 * Varick nods Jul 06 11:54:51 Okay, Vati Jul 06 11:55:04 Come on, lets get some breakfast sorted Jul 06 11:56:34 * Varick nods Jul 06 11:56:54 Mama is changing Emil's sheets, he pulled his nappy cloth off Jul 06 11:57:24 Oh dear Jul 06 11:57:44 * Morgan ushers Bir back into the branches in the corner of the room before leading Varick toward the galley Jul 06 11:59:26 *HH is in here, plate piled high* Jul 06 11:59:59 Hey... Jul 06 12:04:28 HH: Mornin' Jul 06 12:04:56 You joining us this morning? Jul 06 12:06:54 HH: Yeah, we will, just gonna eat first Jul 06 12:07:21 Where's Inga? Not doing the same as Molly I hope... Jul 06 12:08:29 * Morgan fetches food for himself and Varick Jul 06 12:10:25 HH: just gettin' dressed. What's Molly doin'? Jul 06 12:10:45 Apparently Emil pulled his nappycloth off overnight... Jul 06 12:13:00 *HH chuckles* yeah, she's def'ntly not dealing with that Jul 06 12:13:32 * Morgan nods Jul 06 12:13:45 Thats good... she'd be having second thoughts about you... Jul 06 12:14:34 HH: prob'ly just assume I was really drunk Jul 06 12:14:51 Do people pee in their beds if they're drunk? Jul 06 12:15:07 Some do... some don't even make it as far as their beds Jul 06 12:17:44 I don't want to pee my bed, so I won't ever drink grown up drinks Jul 06 12:18:10 *HH looks at Morgan* $note the time and date, remind him during his first hangover$ Jul 06 12:18:23 Its fine as long as you don't drink too many Jul 06 12:18:31 $Could I be so cruel?$ Jul 06 12:18:47 $yep. Right of passage$ Jul 06 12:19:03 But how do you know how many is too many, Vati? Jul 06 12:19:20 *HH eats some bacon* Jul 06 12:19:36 You get used to how it feels... I assume. Jul 06 12:21:54 HH: Norm'lly the next day you realise how much you had last night was too much Jul 06 12:22:36 * Morgan laughs Jul 06 12:26:40 HH: Problem is, y' can't always remember how much that was Jul 06 12:26:54 V: that sounds very careless, Heinzharold Jul 06 12:27:01 * Morgan nods Jul 06 12:27:04 It does Jul 06 12:31:40 HH: *he shrugs* a bit, yeah Jul 06 12:35:03 * Varick seems content with this, and heads back to the study. He can hear Molly singing from the bedroom Jul 06 12:37:44 * Morgan puts the breakfast down on the desk, listening Jul 06 12:38:36 *she's singing Eisen nursery rhymes* Jul 06 12:38:59 Haven't heard those for a while Jul 06 12:41:21 * Varick looks that way Jul 06 12:41:43 Did Dietlinde sing them for Jana? Jul 06 12:41:58 sometimes... I used to quite a lot too Jul 06 12:42:38 Emil likes it when Mama sings Jul 06 12:43:00 * Morgan nods Jul 06 12:43:10 He seemed a bit happy when I sang to him Jul 06 12:44:57 * Varick nods Jul 06 12:45:12 He's a happy baby unless Mama goes away and comes back Jul 06 12:45:48 Thats an act... Edward and I used to it apparently Jul 06 12:47:15 Why? Jul 06 12:47:48 * Morgan shrugs Jul 06 12:48:06 I don't really know... Jul 06 12:49:36 * Varick nods Jul 06 12:49:41 Did I do it? Jul 06 12:51:16 I'm afraid I don't know. Edward might. Jul 06 12:52:28 * Varick nods Jul 06 12:52:40 It's okay, no one was there Jul 06 12:54:32 * Morgan pulls him into a hug Jul 06 12:56:42 * Varick hugs him Jul 06 12:56:58 It's okay Vati, don't be sad Jul 06 12:57:41 * Morgan nods Jul 06 12:57:53 Get sat down, start your breakfast, I'll get mama Jul 06 12:59:43 * Varick does so Jul 06 13:00:07 * Morgan goes into the bedroom Jul 06 13:00:11 Breakfast is here love Jul 06 13:02:06 * Varick is now known as Molly Jul 06 13:02:27 * Molly is just getting dressed. Emil crawls towards him Jul 06 13:02:34 E: Vah-eee! Jul 06 13:03:45 * Morgan picks him up, kissing his cheek loudly Jul 06 13:03:52 Everything alright love? Jul 06 13:06:12 E: *he squeals* Jul 06 13:06:50 Just dressing. It's difficult with a young man who feels personally offended when some parts of me become unavailable to him Jul 06 13:07:52 * Morgan nods Jul 06 13:07:55 And Emil feels the same Jul 06 13:08:49 * Molly giggles Jul 06 13:09:38 You're personally offended? Jul 06 13:10:45 * Morgan chuckles Jul 06 13:10:46 Might be Jul 06 13:12:26 E: *he laughs too* Jul 06 13:12:40 You can have them a whole hour later, my love Jul 06 13:13:08 * Morgan nods Jul 06 13:13:12 We'll see, won't we Jul 06 13:14:55 * Molly nods, doing up the front of her dress before checking her cross is in place Jul 06 13:16:40 * Morgan opens the door for her Jul 06 13:19:40 * Molly comes out, and goes to find the catechism book. Uinise comes in when HH and Inga do, and Molly gives him the book before making a little space on the floor with cushions and blankets for Emil Jul 06 13:19:49 * Molly is now known as HH Jul 06 13:20:00 Found this one millin' around Jul 06 13:20:41 * Morgan nods, looking at Uinise Jul 06 13:20:51 Thought you might find it interesting, seeing how we do things Jul 06 13:22:34 U: *she nods* I do not know much about the Objectionists, but I do know some things about the Vaticines Jul 06 13:23:44 * Morgan nods Jul 06 13:23:51 Have a seat, Uinise, we'll get started Jul 06 13:28:46 *the others all get gathered around. Today's topic seems to be about communion and the blood and body of the saviour* Jul 06 13:29:52 * Morgan reads his way through it Jul 06 13:31:05 U: *she waits til the appropriate moment to ask* why do you eat your God? Jul 06 13:31:32 *HH starts laughing, and Inga shoots him a warning look* Jul 06 13:31:53 Its a metaphor... we are taking His grace into ourselves Jul 06 13:32:44 U: The Vaticines think it is actually blood, but it is just wine? Jul 06 13:33:44 Thats where one of our differences lie... no doubt there are objectionists who believe we are actually eating Him... and I imagine there are Vaticines who know its just wine. Jul 06 13:34:52 U: *she nods* and you eat the very tiny bread Jul 06 13:35:06 * Morgan nods Jul 06 13:35:13 *Varick watches Morgan, trying not to smile* Jul 06 13:36:40 U: And they believe it is his body Jul 06 13:37:05 That'll be the transubstantiation... bit fanciful for me Jul 06 13:38:22 V: That's where the priest does magic and makes it from bread into his body Jul 06 13:38:38 * HH chuckles quietly Jul 06 13:39:05 Thats what they're taught Jul 06 13:39:27 U: is it supposed to be his skin? They look very white Jul 06 13:41:23 I don't think they really go into it Jul 06 13:42:37 V: in paintings he has white skin, and so does the Blessed Virgin Jul 06 13:43:43 U: But a man and woman from the Empire would not have white skin, they would have skin like Emil Jul 06 13:44:52 [well, this is going a little awry!] *Emil hears his name and says* Meeel Jul 06 13:46:05 Can we talk about this later, Uinise? I'd like to get things finished up Jul 06 13:46:25 U: Yes Jul 06 13:46:57 * Morgan nods, carrying on Jul 06 13:48:02 *no one interrupts further, and so then they move on to all the usual group prayers he has to lead* Jul 06 13:49:07 * Morgan does so, asking for guidance and patience Jul 06 13:51:20 *everyone else prays quietly too, but as soon as he opens his eyes he sees Uinise has just be sat there watching them* Jul 06 13:53:45 * Morgan wraps up Jul 06 13:55:26 *everyone thanks him for it, it's taken nearly two hours* Jul 06 13:56:30 * Morgan nods, getting up to pour coffee Jul 06 14:04:06 * HH is now known as Molly Jul 06 14:04:27 * Molly comes to his side, talking quietly Jul 06 14:04:41 You did wonderfully Jul 06 14:04:50 You think so? Jul 06 14:06:19 * Molly nods Jul 06 14:06:34 I do. I like it when you lead our family Jul 06 14:07:31 * Morgan nods Jul 06 14:07:39 It wasn't easy Jul 06 14:08:16 Why? Jul 06 14:09:10 Given my issues with Him... Jul 06 14:09:53 * Molly nods Jul 06 14:10:35 Things are complicated right now for you... oh no, it must be almost time for Edward! Jul 06 14:12:58 * Morgan nods Jul 06 14:13:01 Must be Jul 06 14:13:23 Where -are- Alice and Florrie? Jul 06 14:14:00 I don't know actually... Jul 06 14:14:11 * Morgan tries to get a sense of their location from their heat Jul 06 14:16:19 *they're in Alice's room* Jul 06 14:16:29 Alice's room Jul 06 14:18:52 Would you set up the mirror and I'll go fetch Florrie? Jul 06 14:21:19 * Molly nods Jul 06 14:21:45 * Morgan kisses her cheek before excusing himself and heading to Alice's cabin Jul 06 14:22:16 *it's all quiet* Jul 06 14:22:40 * Morgan knocks on the door Jul 06 14:22:59 * Molly is now known as Alice Jul 06 14:23:04 Uhhh come in? Jul 06 14:23:17 * Morgan opens the door Jul 06 14:25:56 Am I disturbing you? Jul 06 14:26:57 * Alice sits up in bed. Beside her Florrie is still asleep, but she's just 8n a nappy cloth Jul 06 14:27:06 Sorry, rough night Jul 06 14:27:19 Oh... what happened? Jul 06 14:29:33 She's not quite right Jul 06 14:29:41 * Morgan frowns Jul 06 14:29:44 How so? Jul 06 14:31:08 Come and listen Jul 06 14:31:22 * Morgan moves closer Jul 06 14:32:03 *Florrie's breathing is rattly, she's very flushed, and it's very much like his dream of the poorly baby* Jul 06 14:32:44 I'd like Molly to take a look at her... she might be able to help... Jul 06 14:34:17 * Alice nods Jul 06 14:34:20 She's hot Jul 06 14:34:51 [Molly, Florrie is sick, she sounds like Sonnenshein did... can you come check her over?] Jul 06 14:35:03 Yes... possibly an infection then... Jul 06 14:37:50 [I'm talking to Edward already! What should I do?] Jul 06 14:38:05 * Alice nods, watching the girl Jul 06 14:39:28 [If you tell him she is sick he will worry himself stupid. But if you don't he's be angry when he finds out...] Jul 06 14:40:57 She's talking with Edward... I'd arranged for Florrie to see him... I think... I will have her bring the mirror. He should be involved, even at a distance Jul 06 14:41:29 * Alice nods "I'll get dressed" Jul 06 14:42:11 [Tell him I need you, but you're going to bring the mirror, then do so. Quickly. I'll meet you outside] Jul 06 14:42:23 * Morgan nods, moving to stroke Florries forehead Jul 06 14:42:30 Its alright sweetheart, we'll sort this out Jul 06 14:46:01 F: *she is very hot, and sounds so poorly* Jul 06 14:46:28 I'm going to meet Molly outside. We'll sort this out, Alice Jul 06 14:47:37 * Alice nods "thank you" Jul 06 14:47:46 * Alice is now known as Molly Jul 06 14:48:07 *he gets two minutes just stood by himself out in the corridor* Jul 06 14:49:02 * Morgan just waits Jul 06 14:50:17 * Molly arrives, the mirror carefully wrapped Jul 06 14:50:27 What's happened, my love? Jul 06 14:50:51 She sounds like Sonnenshein did in the dream, and she's hot. What did you tell Edward? Jul 06 14:53:15 That you needed me and I would bring the mirror. Are you ready? Jul 06 14:54:49 * Morgan nods, taking the mirror Jul 06 14:54:59 Go on in, I'll tell him what's happening and be in in a moment Jul 06 14:56:34 * Molly looks around Jul 06 14:56:40 Be careful, please Jul 06 14:57:24 * Morgan nods Jul 06 14:57:26 Of course Jul 06 14:58:27 * Molly goes in Jul 06 14:58:31 * Molly is now known as Edward Jul 06 14:59:04 * Morgan moves into an empty cabin, uncovering the mirror and propping it up Jul 06 15:01:08 * Edward looks perplexed "Morgan." Jul 06 15:02:34 Edward. No preamble, my brother... Florrie is sick. I'd gone to fetch her and... doesn't matter, I thought you'd want to be involved, but I wanted to give you a moment to prepare yourself before I take you in. Molly is looking her over now. Understand? Jul 06 15:03:54 * Edward looks deeply concerned Jul 06 15:04:06 Will she be alright?! Jul 06 15:04:52 I'm fairly sure she will. She has a rattle in her breathing, an infection I think. I'm sure Molly can deal with this. Are you ready? Jul 06 15:06:04 * Edward nods, taking a deep breath "yes, of course" Jul 06 15:29:49 I'm going to cover the mirror in case I bump into anyone. Hang on Jul 06 15:30:14 * Morgan covers the mirror before walking from the cabin into Alice's cabin Jul 06 15:35:15 *In Alice's room, Molly is sat on the bed next to Florrie. He feels his neck prickle* Jul 06 15:35:31 * Morgan props up the mirror, uncovering it so he can see the room Jul 06 15:42:57 Alice. How is she? *Edward sounds much less concerned now than to Morgan. He sounds more like he recalls Adalbrecht being in a crisis* Jul 06 15:43:36 A: She's not well, we've been up most of the night. Can you hear her rattly breathing? Jul 06 15:43:54 * Morgan moves out of the way, watching Molly Jul 06 15:44:19 I can. Jul 06 15:45:38 *Molly strokes Florrie's hair* it's an infection in her lungs, and it's more common in the spring. [just as in the dream] Jul 06 15:45:57 [Thats... unsettling] Jul 06 15:47:19 Can you help her? Jul 06 15:47:51 M: *She nods, concentrating. Morgan's neck prickles more* Jul 06 15:50:15 * Morgan waits Jul 06 15:52:19 * Edward waits too. Florrie stirs whilst Alice strokes her back Jul 06 15:52:39 *Molly nods* okay, there we are Jul 06 15:52:52 A: She's already cooler Jul 06 15:54:38 Thats good...

Well done] Jul 06 16:03:19 *Molly lets herself out whilst Alice fusses over Florrie* Jul 06 16:03:24 Is that it? Jul 06 16:04:10 Aye, it is. She'll be fine Jul 06 16:04:24 Molly's gone to check on Thomas, he's more vulnerable being younger Jul 06 16:05:15 A: I hope he's alright Jul 06 16:05:31 F: Vati? Vati here? Jul 06 16:05:34 * Morgan nods Jul 06 16:06:23 I'm here in the mirror, Princess. You had a long sleep this morning to feel better Jul 06 16:06:45 *Florrie sits up to look, smiling* Jul 06 16:06:59 *Alice looks at Morgan, looking relieved* Jul 06 16:07:29 * Morgan smiles slightly, moving the mirror closer to Florrie so she can speak to her father before moving to hug Alice Jul 06 16:10:30 F: was hot Jul 06 16:10:46 *Alice hugs him, exhaling slowly* Jul 06 16:11:00 Do you feel better now?

Jul 06 16:19:23 * Morgan moves her to arms length Jul 06 16:19:25 We are family Jul 06 16:21:23 *Alice nods* thank you Jul 06 16:22:38 * Morgan nods, letting her go Jul 06 16:22:41 [how is he?] Jul 06 16:26:29 [no signs yet, but it's possible. I need to check the boys too] Jul 06 16:26:48 [alright love] Jul 06 16:26:53 I'm going to fetch the water Jul 06 16:28:09 * Edward is making Florrie laugh somehow, but Morgan can't see how Jul 06 16:28:16 A: Thank you Jul 06 16:28:21 * Morgan nods Jul 06 16:28:25 I'll be back in a bit Jul 06 16:28:42 * Morgan heads off to the galley to get fresh water before taking it back Jul 06 16:31:32 *both Florrie and Alice are laughing when he gets back, and Florrie has a dress on Jul 06 16:35:19 * Morgan smiles, handing Florrie a cup of water Jul 06 16:36:27 *she drinks it all down* Jul 06 16:39:52 * Morgan smiles Jul 06 16:39:54 Good girl Jul 06 16:41:55 F: *she hands him the cup* all gone Jul 06 16:42:02 * Morgan nods Jul 06 16:42:05 Want some more? Jul 06 16:44:39 *Florrie nods* yes lease Jul 06 16:44:53 * Morgan nods, pouring some more and handing it over Jul 06 16:47:29 *she drinks that too* F: do puppet Vati? Jul 06 16:47:42 Uhhh...

Ballhead, it wolfie! Jul 06 16:53:30 Thats a wolf... Jul 06 16:53:59 F: No, it a puppet! Not real wolf!

I suspect it's actual wolf fir Jul 06 16:58:56 Not terribly surprising Jul 06 17:00:29 F: where pigs? Jul 06 17:00:45 Pigs?! Jul 06 17:01:19 * Edward sighs, getting three wooden pigs from his desk drawer. Florrie claps her hands Jul 06 17:02:30 * Morgan watches him, stifling a smile Jul 06 17:03:12 F: straw bad. Hay bad. Brick good Jul 06 17:04:16 Is it? Jul 06 17:06:28 *Florrie blows* blow house Jul 06 17:07:37 Ah... I think I know where this is going now...

Jul 06 17:29:19 * Edward chuckles "No, Wolfie won't eat you" Jul 06 17:33:39 Thats good, thats bad manners from a guest Jul 06 17:34:48 Where are you now, brother? Jul 06 17:37:09 Three days out of Durham. I'm going to pick up some Innismore whiskey tomorrow... Jul 06 17:39:12 * Edward nods Jul 06 17:39:39 Get me some, will you? We seem to have gone through a lot over the course of the wedding and new year Jul 06 17:40:06 I was already going to... I'm aware you're a couple of bottles down... Jul 06 17:41:04 * Edward nods Jul 06 17:41:15 I imagine they left when Potts did. Jul 06 17:41:42 There may have been some departed your home in my companions saddle bags... Jul 06 17:42:07 * Edward nods "it is a hazard of having guests" Jul 06 17:42:51 * Morgan nods Jul 06 17:42:55 I'll pick you some up Jul 06 17:43:40 My thanks Jul 06 17:44:39 *his neck prickles again* Jul 06 17:45:28 * Morgan nods Jul 06 17:45:50 I'd best get back to Molly I suppose Jul 06 17:46:39 Yes, brother, we will talk again soon about arrangements Jul 06 17:47:07 * Morgan nods, looking to Florrie Jul 06 17:47:15 Want to say bye to your Vati for now?

Jul 06 17:52:39 [how are they?] Jul 06 17:52:53 In my cabin sweetheart Jul 06 17:53:33 [fine for now] Jul 06 17:54:04 * Florrie tries to get off the bed "no nappy!" Jul 06 17:55:00 No? Jul 06 17:55:37 A: You had it on because you were poorly. Now it can come off Jul 06 17:55:41 * Florrie nods Jul 06 17:55:45 Big girl. Jul 06 17:55:53 * Morgan nods Jul 06 17:56:02 Yes, you are. Jul 06 17:56:15 A: *she smiles* we'll be along soon if you need to see Molly Jul 06 17:56:49 * Morgan nods Jul 06 17:56:52 alright. I'll see you soon Jul 06 17:57:11 * Morgan tweaks Florries nose gently before quietly leaving and heading back to his cabin Jul 06 18:03:30 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jul 06 18:27:08 * Florrie has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jul 06 18:59:08 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Jul 06 19:00:19 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Jul 06 19:01:26 * MollyK just has Emil with her, playing peekaboo Jul 06 19:01:48 Are they alright? Jul 06 19:03:56 * MollyK nods Jul 06 19:04:27 No signs, but it's difficult to detect infections at the very beginning Jul 06 19:04:48 * Morgan nods Jul 06 19:05:01 So need to keep an eye on them all for a few days... where's Varick? Jul 06 19:09:20 In his room playing with Captain Ulysses Jul 06 19:09:55 * Morgan nods Jul 06 19:10:04 Think I'll go play with him til Florrie gets here Jul 06 19:24:36 * MollyK nods "how was Edward?" Jul 06 19:24:58 relieved Jul 06 19:25:40 * MollyK nods Jul 06 19:25:52 There's no hiding it anymore Jul 06 19:26:02 Hiding what? Jul 06 19:27:08 My magic from him Jul 06 19:27:47 He already knew love... Jul 06 19:28:52 * MollyK nods Jul 06 19:29:10 I hope none of the others get it Jul 06 19:30:08 * Morgan nods Jul 06 19:30:35 Me too, though I can think of no-one I'd trust more to help them Jul 06 19:33:43 * MollyK blushes Jul 06 19:33:57 Truly, it is a blessing Jul 06 19:34:26 * Morgan nods Jul 06 19:39:23 I see what they meant. I am needed to keep everyone alive and well Jul 06 19:39:44 * Morgan nods Jul 06 19:39:58 indeed Jul 06 19:44:54 * MollyK smiles "I'll let you play with Varick, my love" Jul 06 19:45:12 * Morgan nods, going into Varicks room and sitting with Varick Jul 06 19:45:29 * MollyK is now known as Varick Jul 06 19:45:34 Is Florrie okay? Jul 06 19:45:55 * Morgan nods Jul 06 19:46:05 Much better now. She'll be coming to play with you in a bit Jul 06 19:46:11 * Varick smiles Jul 06 19:46:20 Mama is very powerful Jul 06 19:47:00 * Morgan nods Jul 06 19:47:03 thankfully Jul 06 19:49:59 Would Florrie have died? Jul 06 19:52:05 In all honesty Varick, I don't know Jul 06 19:52:15 I would be very sad Jul 06 19:52:44 * Morgan nods Jul 06 19:52:46 Me too Jul 06 19:55:24 * Varick is rolling a cotton reel for the cat Jul 06 19:56:16 * Morgan watches him Jul 06 19:56:18 What's the matter? Jul 06 19:57:09 I'm sad because people I love might die Jul 06 19:57:34 * Morgan pulls him into his lap Jul 06 19:57:39 Everyones fine Varick Jul 06 20:00:35 * Varick hugs him Jul 06 20:00:41 But sometimes people do die Jul 06 20:01:22 Sometimes, yes Jul 06 20:01:59 I don't want anyone else to die Jul 06 20:02:39 I know lad, nor do I Jul 06 20:06:02 * Varick hugs him tightly Jul 06 20:07:02 * Morgan holds him firmly Jul 06 20:24:08 *Florrie comes in a few minutes later, looking absolutely fine* F: what doing? Jul 06 20:24:35 Just having a cuddle sweetheart Jul 06 20:26:24 F: Have cuddle? Jul 06 20:26:51 You want to join in? Jul 06 20:27:48 *Florrie nods* Jul 06 20:28:57 That alright Varick? We'll all have a big cuddle Jul 06 20:29:31 * Varick nods, smiling Jul 06 20:31:25 * Morgan nods, opening his arms to get Florrie on his lap Jul 06 20:32:01 *Florrie cuddles up too* Jul 06 20:32:54 * Morgan gently rocks them Jul 06 20:34:45 *Molly comes to the door with Emil on her hip* it's almost lunch time Jul 06 20:35:25 [there's something so very attractive about men being tender with children...] Jul 06 20:35:44 Right then, munchkins, shall we get ready for lunch? Jul 06 20:36:03 What's a munchkin? Jul 06 20:37:04 I don't know, I think I read it somewhere in a story Jul 06 20:38:04 *Florrie gets up first, then Varick* Jul 06 20:38:24 Did people eat their family? Munch kin? Jul 06 20:38:41 *Molly giggles* Jul 06 20:38:55 * Morgan gets up Jul 06 20:39:04 No... but that would make a certain amount of sense Jul 06 20:39:35 * Varick nods. Emil tries to get to Morgan Jul 06 20:44:18 * Morgan takes him, bouncing him Jul 06 20:46:22 *during lunch it's busy again, like a large noisy family. It doesn't settle down until quiet hour when the boys are asleep. Molly gets comfortable on the couch with her coffee* Jul 06 20:46:27 * Varick is now known as Molly Jul 06 20:46:35 How are you, my love? Jul 06 20:47:02 'M alright. How are you feeling about this morning/ Jul 06 20:47:59 Glad I had some insight into what it was Jul 06 20:48:22 * Morgan nods Jul 06 20:48:24 Indeed Jul 06 20:49:50 I would have figured it out, but... Jul 06 20:50:54 But without the dream it would have taken much longer... Jul 06 20:51:36 It would, yes Jul 06 20:51:48 If you hadn't healed her... Jul 06 20:53:08 * Molly nods, sipping her coffee Jul 06 20:53:15 It's a bad illness Jul 06 20:53:22 * Morgan nods Jul 06 20:55:48 She might have been okay, with herbs and rest, keeping her cool... Jul 06 20:56:44 But it is unlikely... Jul 06 20:57:20 It's tough to predict Jul 06 20:58:10 * Morgan nods Jul 06 20:59:34 * Molly swirls the drink Jul 06 20:59:47 Children do get poorly easily Jul 06 21:00:00 * Morgan nods Jul 06 21:01:51 Still. She is well Jul 06 21:02:09 * Morgan nods Jul 06 21:02:20 You know what HeinzHarold calls you? Jul 06 21:05:05 I dread to think Jul 06 21:05:54 He calls you 'the healer of my world'... Jul 06 21:06:08 * Molly smiles, blushing Jul 06 21:06:32 Do you think that's a little grandiose? Jul 06 21:06:40 No... I don't Jul 06 21:07:30 * Molly nods, gently kissing his cheek Jul 06 21:10:30 I'm touched Jul 06 21:12:14 * Morgan smiles, sipping his coffee Jul 06 21:15:20 How did you sleep? Jul 06 21:16:20 I wonder if someone heard your plea, actually... I slept very well Jul 06 21:17:38 I thought you were asleep... Jul 06 21:18:02 On the verge Jul 06 21:18:38 * Molly nods Jul 06 21:18:44 What did you dream? Jul 06 21:19:15 I was hunting a stag, kept just getting glimpses of it Jul 06 21:20:35 * Molly nods thoughtfully Jul 06 21:20:47 Maybe it was about your faith... Jul 06 21:21:33 Oh? Jul 06 21:22:10 Trying to find something you can't quite manage Jul 06 21:22:43 * Morgan nods Jul 06 21:22:47 But I know is there... Jul 06 21:23:51 * Molly nods Jul 06 21:25:12 * Morgan nods Jul 06 21:25:13 Maybe Jul 06 21:25:24 Did you catch it at the end? Jul 06 21:26:25 No, I didn't Jul 06 21:26:55 Did you give up? Jul 06 21:27:18 Uhhh, no... you were at my side just before I woke up Jul 06 21:27:38 I distracted you? Jul 06 21:29:06 * Morgan shrugs Jul 06 21:29:11 Not in the way you're meaning Jul 06 21:29:25 No? Jul 06 21:30:57 No. Jul 06 21:31:07 I was just there? Jul 06 21:32:22 With me Jul 06 21:33:22 * Molly nods, smiling Jul 06 21:33:42 Where I like to be Jul 06 21:33:50 * Morgan nods Jul 06 21:34:47 It's nice you have a reprieve Jul 06 21:34:51 * Morgan nods Jul 06 21:34:53 Yes, it is Jul 06 21:35:43 I hope it'll last, but I suspect to have too many started threads for that Jul 06 21:36:51 * Morgan nods Jul 06 21:36:53 No doubt Jul 06 21:37:36 But at least it is not that awful thread from before Jul 06 21:37:48 * Morgan nods Jul 06 21:37:52 aye Jul 06 21:39:22 After today, have you changed your mind about stopping them? Jul 06 21:39:43 Have you? Jul 06 21:39:54 I... I don't know Jul 06 21:40:15 * Morgan nods Jul 06 21:40:19 We don't have to decide right now Jul 06 21:41:10 No, we cannot see them until we are in Eisen Jul 06 21:41:46 * Morgan nods Jul 06 21:44:36 Will we go to them, or try to make them find us? Jul 06 21:45:53 Probably the latter... it'll be quicker Jul 06 21:47:15 In Insel then? Jul 06 21:47:37 * Morgan nods Jul 06 21:47:39 I reckon so Jul 06 21:50:08 Will you speak to Seb there? Jul 06 21:50:42 HeinzHarold has suggested waiting until the baptism's Jul 06 21:51:00 * Molly nods Jul 06 21:51:15 That makes sense Jul 06 21:51:58 * Morgan nods Jul 06 21:52:08 Aye. He gets nightmares. Jul 06 21:53:06 * Molly nods Jul 06 21:53:22 I wonder if they're like ours Jul 06 21:54:34 HeinzHarold reckons not but... Jul 06 21:55:08 But it would make sense Jul 06 21:55:38 * Morgan nods Jul 06 21:55:39 It would Jul 06 21:55:58 * Molly sighs Jul 06 21:56:06 I pray he doesn't Jul 06 21:56:38 * Morgan nods Jul 06 21:56:42 Me too Jul 06 21:57:29 It would be so painful for him, seeing the happy life we might have had,and knowing it is never going to happen Jul 06 21:57:40 * Morgan nods Jul 06 21:57:42 aye Jul 06 21:58:45 There's nothing we can do though Jul 06 21:59:22 Not... really... Jul 06 21:59:39 You can think of something? Jul 06 22:00:41 Not yet. Jul 06 22:00:58 I won't let you leave me... Jul 06 22:02:21 Now why would you think that? Jul 06 22:03:17 * Molly shrugs Jul 06 22:03:38 Maybe you would be tempted to release me to him Jul 06 22:05:53 No... I'm not nearly so self sacrificing Jul 06 22:14:18 * Molly grimaces Jul 06 22:14:22 Like I am? Jul 06 22:14:35 Well... Jul 06 22:14:44 * Molly nods Jul 06 22:14:57 It is a flaw Jul 06 22:15:44 To an extent Jul 06 22:16:46 * Molly nods Jul 06 22:17:03 It is something I have to bear in mind Jul 06 22:17:35 * Morgan nods Jul 06 22:17:37 Yes, it is Jul 06 22:19:26 When whatever is coming comes, I cannot be making some heroic sacrifice of myself Jul 06 22:20:53 No, you can't. You are going to be needed after Jul 06 22:21:20 * Molly nods Jul 06 22:21:39 To look after everyone as I'll need to, I will need you at my side Jul 06 22:21:47 Thats the plan Jul 06 22:22:33 Which means no sacrificing yourself either Jul 06 22:22:53 I don't intend to Jul 06 22:23:30 * Molly nods Jul 06 22:23:33 Good Jul 06 22:24:30 * Morgan sips his coffee Jul 06 22:25:16 Do you wish we knew -when-? Jul 06 22:25:29 * Morgan shrugs Jul 06 22:25:33 Not really Jul 06 22:26:21 You intend to just live our lives madly in love and breeding like rabbits for fifteen years? Jul 06 22:27:03 * Morgan nods Jul 06 22:27:06 Pretty much, yes Jul 06 22:29:04 * Molly smiles Jul 06 22:29:16 Mmhmm... I think I could be persuaded Jul 06 22:30:05 * Morgan nods Jul 06 22:30:07 I imagine so Jul 06 22:30:44 Are you unsettled because of the children? Jul 06 22:31:34 A little I suppose. I'd forgotten how worrying it is Jul 06 22:32:17 * Molly nods Jul 06 22:32:31 And Florrie is a particularly worrying patient? Jul 06 22:32:40 * Morgan shrugs Jul 06 22:32:43 I suppose so Jul 06 22:33:06 Edward would be distraught Jul 06 22:34:21 Yes, he would. I knew he would be worried but... he was scared. Jul 06 22:34:43 * Molly nods sadly Jul 06 22:34:56 Have you seen Edward scared much? Jul 06 22:35:03 * Morgan shakes his head Jul 06 22:35:19 I don't recall ever seeing him scared, not... not -proper- scared Jul 06 22:38:12 * Molly nods Jul 06 22:38:33 It is understandable that he was so worried Jul 06 22:38:42 * Morgan nods Jul 06 22:38:44 Absolutely Jul 06 22:39:53 I didn't want to hide it from him... Jul 06 22:40:32 No, you wouldn't want it hidden from you in his shoes Jul 06 22:41:15 No, I wouldn't Jul 06 22:42:09 You will never want me to travel without the children... Jul 06 22:42:23 I don't think so Jul 06 22:45:40 That's going to be dreadfully unsexy, my love *she giggles* Jul 06 22:46:01 But safer Jul 06 22:46:55 Yes... I suppose so. Well, we had best start that garden quickly, because we wouldn't be able to go to the Golden Lantern easily! Jul 06 22:47:23 * Morgan nods Jul 06 22:47:26 No, quite so Jul 06 22:48:07 But the first thing is to just make a space with cushions and blankets on the roof? Jul 06 22:48:17 * Morgan nods Jul 06 22:48:20 aye Jul 06 22:48:36 Are you worried about the others? Jul 06 22:48:45 * Morgan smiles slightly Jul 06 22:48:47 Only always Jul 06 22:48:56 * Molly smiles Jul 06 22:49:08 It's a sign of your healing though Jul 06 22:49:59 Is it? Jul 06 22:50:37 Even a year ago, you could not have done this Jul 06 22:50:50 Done what? Jul 06 22:51:12 Cared about all these children Jul 06 22:51:54 * Morgan nods Jul 06 22:51:57 You're probably right Jul 06 22:52:21 * Molly nods Jul 06 22:52:28 You're healing Jul 06 22:53:11 * Morgan nods Jul 06 22:53:12 Slowly Jul 06 22:53:54 * Molly shakes her head Jul 06 22:54:03 It's not that slow to me. Jul 06 22:54:19 * Morgan shrugs Jul 06 22:55:38 * Molly takes his hand Jul 06 22:55:58 Since the cast. And that is only seven months ago Jul 06 22:57:15 * Morgan nods Jul 06 22:58:29 * Molly smiles Jul 06 22:58:45 And each day, you're making progress Jul 06 23:00:18 * Morgan nods Jul 06 23:00:19 I am Jul 06 23:02:38 * Molly nods Jul 06 23:02:59 That is good Jul 06 23:04:06 * Morgan nods Jul 06 23:04:08 Aye, I think so Jul 06 23:06:11 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jul 06 23:58:37 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
