**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jul 18 00:41:56 2023 Jul 18 00:41:56 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jul 18 16:06:51 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Jul 18 20:09:10 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Jul 18 20:10:11 * MollyK blows him a kiss, leaving him to it Jul 18 20:11:43 * Morgan gets Emil in place, cleaning and changing him Jul 18 20:13:53 *Emil babbles away to him, holding his own hands* Jul 18 20:14:50 * Morgan chatters back to him Jul 18 20:19:55 *Emil grins, excitedly kicking his legs when it's done* Jul 18 20:21:04 * Morgan tickles him before blowing raspberries on the boys cheek Jul 18 20:22:22 *Emil laughs, then puts his mouth to Morgan's cheek and says "mmmmmm!" Jul 18 20:22:42 * Morgan chuckles, picking him up Jul 18 20:22:47 Shall we find the others? Jul 18 20:25:54 *Emil fidgets and grumbles* Jul 18 20:27:59 What's the matter little man? Jul 18 20:30:13 *he tries to pull away* Jul 18 20:30:46 * Morgan sets him gently down Jul 18 20:34:56 *Emil grabs his hands, trying to stand* Jul 18 20:36:31 * Morgan makes an 'ah' sound, helping support him on his feet Jul 18 20:39:48 *Emil holds on tight, trying to walk* Jul 18 20:40:34 * Morgan slowly helps him, guiding him into the main study Jul 18 20:44:09 *This goes well until Bir decides Morgan bent over is a good perch and lands on his upper back. It doesn't hurt, but she isn't that light* Jul 18 20:45:48 Not helpful, feathers.... Jul 18 20:49:48 *Bir laughs when Molly and the children do* Jul 18 20:50:08 [our life together is so odd and beautiful] Jul 18 20:51:36 * Morgan nods Jul 18 20:51:46 Come on Bir, off you get Jul 18 20:53:47 *Varick holds his arm out like a Falconer, and says* Come to me, Bir! Jul 18 20:55:22 *Bir flies off Morgan's back and over to Varick's arm, though Morgan can see she's heavy. Varick pets her, and she says "Muah! Clever Bir" Jul 18 20:55:44 Well done Varick Jul 18 21:02:50 *Varick looks proud* Like when you show me the falcons we have in Innesbruck Jul 18 21:03:01 * Morgan nods Jul 18 21:03:03 exactly Jul 18 21:05:45 V: when will you bring our falcons to Hafenlohr? Jul 18 21:07:02 We need to get properly settled first... Jul 18 21:08:54 *Varick sighs* okay Jul 18 21:09:08 F: Need plants? Jul 18 21:09:28 I imagine so Jul 18 21:15:03 * MollyK opens the window, letting Bir out Jul 18 21:15:11 F: No! No open! Jul 18 21:15:52 Hey, its alright sweetheart Jul 18 21:16:38 * MollyK crouches down to her Jul 18 21:18:12 Bir is safe. Birds need to fly. I promise, she will be back Jul 18 21:18:28 F: *she nods* back. Safe. Okay. Jul 18 21:18:59 * MollyK smiles "you're a good girl, trying to keep Bir safe" Jul 18 21:19:10 *Florrie smiles* Okay Jul 18 21:19:43 * Morgan smiles, still holding on to Emil Jul 18 21:19:50 * MollyK slowly stands up "Do you want to stand up here and watch her fly?" Jul 18 21:20:32 *Florrie nods. Molly holds out her hands "May I lift you up to stand on the seat?" Jul 18 21:21:46 *Florrie looks indecisive before nodding, and Molly gently picks her up and sets her down before kneeling beside her, Molly's feet bare* there now, we can see how happy she is Jul 18 21:23:30 * Morgan watches them Jul 18 21:25:26 *Varick joins them, and they talk excitedly about what Bir is doing. Molly teaches them the words in both Avalonian and Eisen Jul 18 21:28:16 * Morgan smiles, guiding Emil round the room Jul 18 21:31:06 *He's getting the hang of it, it seems possible that he will be walking before he is one* Jul 18 21:31:36 Someone's going to be walking about on their own soon, aren't they, hmm? Jul 18 21:35:02 * MollyK glances over her shoulder, looking both happy and sad about it Jul 18 21:37:42 * Morgan looks at her sympathetically Jul 18 21:39:07 * MollyK smiles "He's growing so fast" Jul 18 21:39:21 * Morgan nods Jul 18 21:39:24 Aye he is Jul 18 21:44:28 * MollyK nods, watching from the window again. Inga taps on the door gently Jul 18 21:44:39 * Morgan calls for her to come in Jul 18 21:46:58 * MollyK is now known as Inga Jul 18 21:47:15 * Inga smiles "Good morning" Jul 18 21:47:33 Mornin' love Jul 18 21:47:35 E: gah! Jul 18 21:47:52 *Inga smiles* good morning also, Emil Jul 18 21:48:38 * Morgan speaks quietly to Emil Jul 18 21:48:41 Who's that? Jul 18 21:52:11 *Emil looks at her* Gah! Jul 18 21:52:57 * Morgan grins Jul 18 21:52:59 Thats right! Jul 18 21:55:51 *Inga kisses Emil's forehead* He's so cute Jul 18 21:56:00 * Morgan nods Jul 18 21:56:08 He's growing up quickly Jul 18 22:00:34 * Inga nods Jul 18 22:00:41 They do, don't they? Jul 18 22:01:04 * Morgan nods Jul 18 22:01:06 A bit too quick Jul 18 22:02:05 * Inga nods Jul 18 22:02:15 That's why people keep having more Jul 18 22:02:39 You might be on to something there Jul 18 22:07:14 * Inga smiles Jul 18 22:07:23 Have you seen Heinzharold today? Jul 18 22:07:55 First thing, yes... Jul 18 22:11:36 * Inga nods, smiling Jul 18 22:11:41 Happy, was he? Jul 18 22:12:12 * Morgan nods Jul 18 22:12:21 Bit tired, though... something about being woken up... Jul 18 22:13:52 * Inga nods Jul 18 22:14:09 It wasn't as bad as I thougt Jul 18 22:18:44 -He- woke -you-? Jul 18 22:19:58 * Inga nods Jul 18 22:20:08 Interesting Jul 18 22:20:21 I don't think he meant to, he has wandering hands Jul 18 22:21:14 Its not how he told it this morning Jul 18 22:23:25 No? Jul 18 22:23:59 By his account, you woke him... Jul 18 22:27:03 I don't know he was really awake, but he does tend to grab me Jul 18 22:27:19 * Morgan nods Jul 18 22:27:30 Did he not come wake you up a while ago? Jul 18 22:31:22 * Inga nods Jul 18 22:31:31 He did, he's having a nap now Jul 18 22:31:35 * Morgan nods Jul 18 22:31:38 Ah, alright Jul 18 22:33:37 * Inga whispers in his ear "he deserved it" Jul 18 22:33:44 * Morgan blushes Jul 18 22:36:10 * Inga smiles "did you want me to help Molly so you can do your woodwork?" Jul 18 22:36:19 * Morgan nods Jul 18 22:36:29 If you would. I'll be talking to Edward in a while Jul 18 22:38:27 * Inga nods Jul 18 22:38:45 I'll take Emil Jul 18 22:39:17 * Morgan nods, handing him over Jul 18 22:39:22 Here we go, go to Inga Jul 18 22:42:18 * Inga cuddles him "he smells so nice" Jul 18 22:42:43 He didn't about fifteen minutes ago... Jul 18 22:43:05 * Morgan kisses the top of Emil's head before going to kiss each of the children and Molly's cheek before heading down to work on the cribs Jul 18 22:44:53 *he gets some done before it is time, then takes himself back to sit by the desk with Molly, Emil, Varick and Florrie* Jul 18 22:44:59 * Inga is now known as Edward Jul 18 22:45:35 * Edward uncovers the mirror, smiling "good morning, everyone!" Jul 18 22:45:51 * Morgan smiles Jul 18 22:46:07 brother... I hope you don't mind, someone wished to see her Vati... Jul 18 22:49:45 * Edward shakes his head "I never mind. Good morning, princess, are you having fun on the ship?" Jul 18 22:50:16 *Florrie nods* feed baby cup Jul 18 22:50:33 Did you? Is your baby growing up? Jul 18 22:50:54 F: like Ballhead feed Jul 18 22:51:14 * Morgan smiles slightly, waiting to see if Edward can understand Jul 18 22:52:04 * Edward nods "he feeds his baby with a cup" Jul 18 22:52:58 * Morgan nods Jul 18 22:55:50 * Edward chats with them all easily, then Molly takes the children out, leaving Morgan with Edward Jul 18 22:56:18 * Morgan picks up his cup, sipping his coffee as he watches his brother Jul 18 22:57:46 Florrie looks healthy Jul 18 23:00:17 She is thriving. There was a bit of bickering this morning about getting cuddles, but aside from that its all been going well so far Jul 18 23:01:14 * Edward looks relieved Jul 18 23:01:26 I know Molly was keeping an eye on her, but... Jul 18 23:01:34 But? Jul 18 23:04:31 Of course I worry for her Jul 18 23:04:58 * Morgan closes his eyes for a moment, taking a slow breath before opening them again Jul 18 23:05:00 Of course Jul 18 23:09:10 What, brother? Is something wrong? Jul 18 23:09:44 No... just reminding myself you are not insulting Molly and her care for Florrie, just... worrying as a father does Jul 18 23:10:00 * Morgan smiles a little Jul 18 23:11:33 * Edward nods Jul 18 23:11:55 I am glad she is in Molly's care, but she is my daughter... Jul 18 23:12:07 * Morgan nods Jul 18 23:12:18 We are keeping her safe, and she is healthy Jul 18 23:13:45 * Edward nods Jul 18 23:13:57 I have been preoccupied with it Jul 18 23:14:39 * Morgan nods Jul 18 23:15:09 Molly's efforts worked perfectly. Thomas had the beginnings of it, too, and he's fine once more Jul 18 23:16:04 * Edward nods Jul 18 23:16:39 It's caused some trouble here Jul 18 23:16:47 * Morgan sighs Jul 18 23:16:48 Oh? Jul 18 23:17:18 Mina got fed up with my brooding Jul 18 23:17:54 I love her to death, but she's taking her attitude toward it too far. Jul 18 23:19:49 * Edward frowns, looking protective Jul 18 23:19:55 She is hurt Jul 18 23:20:34 She is clinging to it. I know, from experience, how doing that stops you moving forward Jul 18 23:21:47 * Edward nods Jul 18 23:22:13 Things are a little tense, but now I know Florrie is fully well it will ease Jul 18 23:22:32 * Morgan nods Jul 18 23:24:32 * Edward drinks some coffee, looking burdened Jul 18 23:24:50 I hate not being on excellent terms with my wife Jul 18 23:25:07 * Morgan nods Jul 18 23:25:35 I know. I hear that she could be making efforts to make things better but doesn't seem to be willing to. Until then... Jul 18 23:26:22 * Edward nods Jul 18 23:26:53 It's more challenging than I thought it would be Jul 18 23:27:04 * Morgan smiles slightly Jul 18 23:27:11 I never imagined you as being naive Jul 18 23:28:43 * Edward smiles ruefully "your imagination is limited then" Jul 18 23:29:14 * Morgan shrugs Jul 18 23:29:28 Just taken in by your facade of always being in complete control Jul 18 23:29:50 * Edward nods Jul 18 23:30:04 In this, I am struggling to lead Mina to peace Jul 18 23:30:21 You know why, don't you? Jul 18 23:31:36 No, I am at a loss, brother Jul 18 23:32:09 She is not allowing you to lead her to peace. She doesn't want to be there yet. Jul 18 23:34:21 What am I supposed to do about that? Jul 18 23:35:34 Well... I would probably have reached the point by now where I told her its not helping, and she's clinging to it and making it worse for the both of you. I can't say it'd be the right way to go about it, mind Jul 18 23:37:46 * Edward nods Jul 18 23:38:07 I still feel much guilt for the hurt i've caused her Jul 18 23:39:26 * Morgan nods Jul 18 23:39:43 I know. But she must take responsibility for her part in that Jul 18 23:40:12 I don't want to hurt her more, or make her regret marrying me Jul 18 23:40:27 * Morgan nods Jul 18 23:41:00 I know. You do realise you could've saved yourself a little of the trouble the last day or so, don't you? Jul 18 23:41:41 I did not want anyone thinking I did not trust them Jul 18 23:42:44 There's a difference between not trusting us and needing a little reassurance. Jul 18 23:43:52 * Edward nods Jul 18 23:44:39 I will bear that in mind Jul 18 23:45:40 You trust me to be honest with you... if you need reassurance, I will give it, if I cannot, I will tell you. Jul 18 23:46:51 * Edward nods Jul 18 23:47:17 It is difficult to have a child far away. You anticipate having them in your household Jul 18 23:47:40 * Morgan nods Jul 18 23:47:55 I'm sure it is. Jul 18 23:49:42 * Edward sighs "perhaps once we have met her Mina will be less troubled" Jul 18 23:50:48 I hope so. She needs to start taking the steps she can to work it all out. Until she is willing to do that... Jul 18 23:53:17 * Edward nods "you think I should put my foot down?" Jul 18 23:54:44 I don't know about putting your foot down... but -I- would be making sure she knows that she is not helping either of you. That being said, she didn't choose -me-, perhaps my personality was a part of that Jul 18 23:56:57 * Edward smiles "I wouldn't like to say, brother" Jul 18 23:58:03 * Morgan shrugs Jul 18 23:58:23 It might be worth you speaking with Molly... she'll have a woman's insight Jul 18 23:59:54 * Edward nods "They have spoken before, but I think Molly's opinion is somewhat clouded by her own feelings"
