**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jul 19 00:00:28 2023 Jul 19 00:00:28 I mean -you- speak to her... and clouded how? Jul 19 00:01:47 She has made it very clear that she would have welcomed any child or children you already had Jul 19 00:02:15 * Morgan nods Jul 19 00:02:36 Perhaps it does cloud her view... but she can see what Mina's issue is and how she refuses to deal with it Jul 19 00:03:22 * Edward nods Jul 19 00:03:48 Yes, she does Jul 19 00:04:32 You should talk with her. Even if it just gives you better understanding, its better than nothing Jul 19 00:04:57 * Edward nods Jul 19 00:05:27 I have much to do today, and a tenants meeting this evening. Will tomorrow suit? Jul 19 00:06:14 I'm sure it will. Jul 19 00:08:22 * Edward nods Jul 19 00:08:28 Where are you now? Jul 19 00:08:46 An hour or so out of Stirling Jul 19 00:10:27 * Edward nods Jul 19 00:11:02 I've never been there Jul 19 00:11:18 * Morgan shakes his head Jul 19 00:11:35 Nor I... I've dealt with a few men from this area, mind... weird lot. Jul 19 00:14:07 * Edward nods Jul 19 00:14:16 People say that of us, you know Jul 19 00:14:44 Eiseners, or you and I? Jul 19 00:16:36 Eiseners Jul 19 00:16:52 Ah, well, the difference is I know what I'm talking about.... Jul 19 00:18:36 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jul 19 00:47:18 * Edward has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jul 19 12:07:31 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Jul 19 12:49:53 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Jul 19 12:50:07 * MollyK is now known as Edward Jul 19 12:50:17 * Edward nods Jul 19 12:50:35 Just an overnight stop then? Jul 19 12:50:55 * Morgan nods Jul 19 12:51:11 Aye, at most. I'm... anxious to get home Jul 19 12:56:43 * Edward nods Jul 19 12:57:02 I imagine so Jul 19 12:58:10 I'm going to be in Sudlachenburg for a day or two... I want to prepare Sascha and Otto for Florries appearance Jul 19 13:00:47 And prepare Father for her ability... Jul 19 13:01:02 You wish -me- to do that? Jul 19 13:03:05 You will see him before me if you are going to Sudlachenburg soon Jul 19 13:03:52 But she is your daughter... *he sighs* I'll take care of it Jul 19 13:05:08 I can see to it myself, but I thought you would want to Jul 19 13:06:08 No... you don't need the worry of how to deal with it and his reaction on top of everything else. I'll deal with it. Jul 19 13:08:08 * Edward nods Jul 19 13:08:20 Will Molly go with you? Jul 19 13:08:28 * Morgan shakes his head Jul 19 13:09:13 No, she's going to get the boys settled. I'm going via Innesbruck to take James and Elsie to see his mother. She's asked me to give her away Jul 19 13:10:45 * Edward nods Jul 19 13:11:07 You are pleased, brother? Jul 19 13:11:58 I'm very touched... a little sad, also. Jul 19 13:16:29 Why? Jul 19 13:19:14 I hadn't considered before that is something I would have been doing in the future. Timed with my dreaming of Jana, it struck me a little hard. Jul 19 13:19:34 * Edward nods sadly Jul 19 13:20:27 However, I fully anticipate Molly giving you many more daughters you will walk down the aisle. Jul 19 13:20:34 * Morgan nods Jul 19 13:21:07 I imagine so. Jul 19 13:23:08 It will not be a consolation, but I look forward to the day you can do so Jul 19 13:24:21 * Morgan nods Jul 19 13:25:36 I watched Florrie sleeping... it was surprisingly painful. Jul 19 13:25:50 * Edward nods Jul 19 13:26:30 I wonder if she should stay in Innesbruck with me instead Jul 19 13:26:59 I don't believe so Jul 19 13:31:07 I don't want you to suffer, brother Jul 19 13:31:28 * Morgan smiles Jul 19 13:32:44 I know... but it seems that is my purpose in life at times. I think, however, you're overlooking a few things Jul 19 13:33:39 Oh? Jul 19 13:35:22 I know that she is used to talking to you but... even with Molly, who she has known almost as long as me, she is still reluctant and reserved to get close to her. And that isn't even the biggest potential stumbling block Jul 19 13:38:24 What is? Jul 19 13:40:16 With Florrie comes Alice. How do you think it would play out, Alice staying with you while Mina is in Freiburg? Jul 19 13:42:51 * Edward sighs Jul 19 13:43:01 Yes, I see your point Jul 19 13:43:31 Wise beyond my years, me... Jul 19 13:47:34 Surprising as there are so many of them... Jul 19 13:48:00 Ouch... uncalled for... Jul 19 13:51:22 * Edward chuckles Jul 19 13:51:49 Twenty eight this year. You're getting old Jul 19 13:52:34 So father delighted in telling me Jul 19 13:53:04 I had a thought I very much disliked... Jul 19 13:53:35 That thirty is looming? Jul 19 13:54:38 Worse than that... it occurred to me that it would be unnecessarily provocative to wear formal uniform to a Vaticine wedding... Jul 19 13:57:54 * Edward smiles Jul 19 13:58:07 But your trousers are too informal. Jul 19 13:58:32 Say the peacocks Jul 19 13:59:48 Breeches for you. Wear the ones my tailor got you for the Winter Ball, you will give the occassion more gravitas as a Duke Jul 19 14:00:26 * Morgan nods, sighing Jul 19 14:02:42 Its... important to me that I give a good accounting of myself for Elsie Jul 19 14:04:11 Because it is the first time you have been asked to give someone away? Jul 19 14:04:32 Why is that? Jul 19 14:05:43 We still feel a responsibility for her being attacked. We care for her, and I am protective of her. Jul 19 14:06:12 Why do you feel responsible? Jul 19 14:07:15 She looked a little like Molly... he couldn't have Molly so... Jul 19 14:08:48 That isn't your fault, or Molly's Jul 19 14:10:08 I know, yet... we still feel it. Now, they are happy, Molly has managed to restore her enough physically that upon their marriage they will be able to have almost everything a married couple has Jul 19 14:13:19 * Edward nods Jul 19 14:13:29 Except for more children Jul 19 14:14:05 * Morgan nods Jul 19 14:14:21 Perhaps they can adopt... or find a surrogate Jul 19 14:16:11 * Edward nods Jul 19 14:16:22 Perhaps so Jul 19 14:17:12 Still... it is more than they expected as it is... hell, its more than anyone expected when I first met her Jul 19 14:19:59 * Edward nods Jul 19 14:20:16 It's nothing short of a miracle, really Jul 19 14:21:06 Sorgi reckons my magic is a gift from Theus... because of how I choose to use it... Jul 19 14:26:24 * Edward nods Jul 19 14:26:53 I have come to terms with magic being in our line Jul 19 14:27:39 * Morgan nods Jul 19 14:29:10 I think... I will need to tell mother about Florries magic... Jul 19 14:30:38 Before you get there? Jul 19 14:30:53 * Morgan nods Jul 19 14:31:07 Lets be honest, no-one can affect Father as much as she can... Jul 19 14:33:06 * Edward nods, smiling Jul 19 14:33:08 Indeed Jul 19 14:34:24 We'll see I suppose... I will find a way Jul 19 14:37:16 * Edward nods Jul 19 14:37:22 I have no doubt Jul 19 14:39:23 I'm glad one of us can say that Jul 19 14:42:33 * Edward nods Jul 19 14:42:43 I have a lot of faith in you, brother Jul 19 14:43:13 * Morgan looks touched Jul 19 14:43:16 I'll do my best Jul 19 14:46:04 * Edward nods Jul 19 14:46:59 I have told DeeDee about the christening Jul 19 14:47:04 Oh? Jul 19 14:47:27 He will be attending. I am glad Jul 19 14:47:46 * Morgan nods Jul 19 14:48:17 I was not sure he would want to, as it relates to babies, but he is doing much better Jul 19 14:48:18 I like him... its comforting to find someone who understands the difficulty nightmares cause Jul 19 14:49:24 I imagine Molly will work on his belief of what happened as well... she seemed determined Jul 19 14:50:17 * Edward smiles Jul 19 14:50:35 That sums her up well, I think Jul 19 14:51:19 * Morgan nods Jul 19 14:51:21 That it does Jul 19 14:54:38 How is she? We talk about my relationship and wife, but not yours Jul 19 14:56:23 Worried for the future... she's having a bit of an issue at the moment where she's a bit upset about the things that I would have experienced. She hates the nightmares, to the point she suggested we could just hide in Capperlucia Jul 19 15:02:09 * Edward nods Jul 19 15:02:23 Many would Jul 19 15:02:31 * Morgan nods Jul 19 15:02:52 There is certainly a temptation there Jul 19 15:04:44 Are your nightmares bad again? Jul 19 15:05:22 Not the very worst it has been, but not a million miles from it Jul 19 15:08:40 * Edward nods Jul 19 15:08:57 Have you been using the tobacco? Jul 19 15:13:09 No, I haven't Jul 19 15:14:08 Might that help? Jul 19 15:25:33 I doubt it in all honesty Jul 19 15:33:02 * Edward nods Jul 19 15:33:26 Do you still have the nightmare trap? Jul 19 15:34:36 Somewhere Jul 19 15:38:46 Anything is worth a try, brother Jul 19 15:38:55 I've tried it before... Jul 19 15:41:04 * Edward nods Jul 19 15:41:19 I know Jul 19 15:42:54 Its just... something I must endure Jul 19 15:43:55 * Edward nods Jul 19 15:44:11 Molly is ensuring you are well and healthy? Jul 19 15:45:26 You do realise I am a grownup now? Jul 19 15:47:48 I do Jul 19 15:48:38 I'm fine, brother Jul 19 15:53:16 I am concerned only out of brotherly love Jul 19 15:55:06 I know, believe me. I've tried everything to dull these nightmares already, nothing helps Jul 19 16:07:03 * Edward nods Jul 19 16:07:23 I'm sorry, it is difficult, I'm sure Jul 19 16:07:34 * Morgan nods Jul 19 16:08:01 It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't colour the following day... it lingers once I've woken Jul 19 16:17:33 Maybe that is the time for the tobacco Jul 19 16:19:17 Is that a good look, first thing in the morning? Jul 19 16:26:50 Don't take too much then Jul 19 16:27:20 * Morgan nods Jul 19 16:27:23 Worth considering I suppose Jul 19 16:31:49 * Edward nods Jul 19 16:32:39 DeeDee has cut back, his nightmares are reducing Jul 19 16:32:59 * Morgan looks pleased Jul 19 16:33:14 That is fantastic news. He is still involved with Petra? Jul 19 16:35:20 * Edward nods "I believe so, though the logistics are complex. They are certainly writing" Jul 19 16:37:32 * Morgan nods Jul 19 16:37:56 Thats good Jul 19 16:40:46 * Edward nods Jul 19 16:41:18 I don't know if it will go anywhere, but it does him good to have a woman in his life Jul 19 16:41:42 * Morgan nods Jul 19 16:41:45 It certainly sounds like it Jul 19 16:45:32 * Edward nods Jul 19 16:45:42 Does Claudia still talk about him? Jul 19 16:46:14 * Morgan nods Jul 19 16:46:16 She hates it Jul 19 16:51:20 He never mentions her, which probably means he still has a crush on her Jul 19 16:51:45 I see... complex one Jul 19 16:53:20 * Edward nods Jul 19 16:53:58 From what he has said he knows she is not interested, and that is that Jul 19 16:54:57 * Morgan laughs sharply Jul 19 16:55:00 Were it ever that simple Jul 19 16:56:19 * Edward nods Jul 19 16:56:37 Indeed. I would not be married were that the case Jul 19 16:57:12 No. *he sighs* we'll work it out Jul 19 17:02:48 * Edward nods Jul 19 17:02:59 You and Molly are doing well though? Jul 19 17:03:42 * Morgan nods Jul 19 17:03:45 I believe so, yes Jul 19 17:11:36 * Edward nods "I'm glad to hear it" Jul 19 17:15:07 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Jul 19 17:17:24 I suppose I'd best let you get on Jul 19 17:19:28 * Edward nods Jul 19 17:19:57 I have things to do. A Freiarr is a busy man *he smiles* Jul 19 17:20:47 * Morgan nods Jul 19 17:20:51 Our love to Mina Jul 19 17:23:42 And ours to you all. Take care, brother Jul 19 17:25:07 * Morgan nods, smiling before covering the mirror Jul 19 17:28:02 * Edward is now known as Bir Jul 19 17:28:08 * Bir wolf-whistles Jul 19 17:28:28 * Morgan packs the mirror away, looking at the bird Jul 19 17:28:29 What? Jul 19 17:31:17 * Bir lands on the desk before strutting along it, whistling to herself Jul 19 17:32:20 * Morgan reaches out, stroking her feathers Jul 19 17:35:26 * Bir lets him quite happily Jul 19 17:36:20 Who's a good bird, huh? Jul 19 17:37:03 Food Jul 19 17:37:28 * Morgan nods, rummaging in one of the draws for a jar of seeds and nuts, pouring some out Jul 19 17:40:45 Thank you *she eats them* Jul 19 17:41:13 * Morgan smiles, watching her Jul 19 17:41:16 You're incredible Jul 19 17:44:13 * Bir picks up a big nut in her talon, looking at it before dropping it and picking something else Jul 19 17:46:19 * Morgan picks the nut up, shaking it Jul 19 17:46:51 *it sounds fine* Jul 19 17:47:06 You not want this one? Jul 19 17:48:50 * Bir keeps eating Jul 19 17:49:32 * Morgan envelopes it in his fist, squeezing it til the shell breaks Jul 19 17:50:09 *inside, the nuts have gone bad* Jul 19 17:50:59 * Morgan looks impressed, putting them on the edge of the desk Jul 19 17:51:10 You knew, huh... clever Bir... Jul 19 17:51:51 Clever Bir Jul 19 17:52:36 * Morgan smiles, stroking her again Jul 19 17:52:46 We'll get some applies in Stirling Jul 19 17:55:00 * Bir finishes all the seeds Jul 19 17:56:42 * Morgan fishes out another nut, offering it to her Jul 19 17:58:08 * Bir takes, shells, and eats this one Jul 19 18:02:05 * Morgan watches her before putting the jar away Jul 19 18:02:10 I've gotta go do some work Jul 19 19:09:26 Food. Jul 19 19:09:43 More?! Jul 19 19:09:51 Fuck Jul 19 19:10:03 Bir, no Jul 19 19:10:31 Food Jul 19 19:17:53 * Morgan nods, getting some more seeds and nuts out Jul 19 19:18:17 *she eats them* Jul 19 19:19:05 Better? Jul 19 19:19:50 Thank you food Jul 19 19:20:59 * Morgan offers her another nut Jul 19 19:21:52 * Bir takes it, opening it Jul 19 19:25:09 What am I gonn' do about you, hmm? Jul 19 19:29:50 * Bir gets on his shoulder, stretching her wing over his head Jul 19 19:30:10 * Morgan strokes the underside of her wing Jul 19 19:34:19 * Bir wolf whistles Jul 19 19:35:07 .me strokes her beak Jul 19 19:35:13 Come on, I need to do some work... Jul 19 19:37:34 Muah! Jul 19 19:38:18 * Morgan smiles Jul 19 19:38:25 I love you too... go on, in your nest Jul 19 19:42:32 * Bir flies up into the branches Jul 19 19:42:47 Good Bir Jul 19 19:44:08 * Morgan collects his things and heads out of the study Jul 19 19:45:43 *he hears the children all playing in the ballroom. Molly comes out when she hears his footsteps Jul 19 19:45:46 * Bir is now known as Molly Jul 19 19:46:42 My love, were you planning to be up on deck when we approach and dock? Jul 19 19:47:04 * Morgan nods Jul 19 19:47:05 I think so Jul 19 19:49:03 Edward would like to talk to you tomorrow... I think you might be able to help him with Mina Jul 19 19:50:08 * Molly sighs Jul 19 19:50:17 They are having more troubles? Jul 19 19:50:24 * Morgan nods Jul 19 19:50:52 He has been brooding, worrying about Florrie. I have berated him for not just asking, but the situation with Mina continues Jul 19 19:52:41 * Molly nods Jul 19 19:53:09 I see. I assumed he would trust that I would be in touch if she was not better Jul 19 19:54:30 He did. Worrying about your children no matter whose care they are in is entirely normal, it is not that he did not trust any of us Jul 19 19:57:01 * Molly nods Jul 19 19:57:27 But if I had realised, I'd have been sure to give him updates very frequently to reassure him Jul 19 19:58:02 I told him he should have asked if he was needing reassurance Jul 19 20:00:29 * Molly nods Jul 19 20:00:36 I'll remember for next time Jul 19 20:02:09 Its not for you to chase him to make sure he's not needing reassurance... anyway, I think you can help him understand Mina's position and what she needs to do Jul 19 20:04:58 I do not want to be unkind, but... she has known about this for three months now. It is time for her to grieve the life she thought she would live, and live the one she has. Jul 19 20:05:16 * Morgan nods Jul 19 20:05:28 Then she needs to hear that, but I think he does too. He is coddling her Jul 19 20:09:46 He's probably afraid of her rejection Jul 19 20:10:15 Possibly. They can't go on like this Jul 19 20:12:53 No. It will be time for them to travel soon, maybe that will distract them Jul 19 20:13:41 I'm of the opinion something needs to be done before then Jul 19 20:16:00 Like what, my love? Jul 19 20:16:20 Like telling her she needs to stop clinging to it and start moving on Jul 19 20:20:35 * Molly nods Jul 19 20:20:42 You want me to be firm? Jul 19 20:22:50 Well, thats the problem... -I- would be. But I know that my methods are not necessarily the correct ones Jul 19 20:24:24 * Molly nods Jul 19 20:24:43 So make the point, but gently? Jul 19 20:26:00 I suppose so Jul 19 20:28:59 * Molly opens her arms Jul 19 20:29:05 You are burdened Jul 19 20:29:38 * Morgan moves to her, wrapping his arms around her Jul 19 20:30:37 I'm just... fed up of it Jul 19 21:07:52 * Molly holds him close Jul 19 21:08:20 You want them to settle into being a team Jul 19 21:08:25 * Morgan nods Jul 19 21:08:27 Yes, I do Jul 19 21:09:35 It will be easier for them both if they are united Jul 19 21:09:43 * Morgan nods Jul 19 21:09:47 Aye, exactly Jul 19 21:12:35 * Molly nods Jul 19 21:15:55 I'll speak to them both, it is time to draw a line under it and heal. She has a duty to her husband to help him to be the best father he can be. That is an important job Jul 19 21:16:23 * Morgan nods Jul 19 21:16:43 I don't want to upset her by pulling her up short... but I will if I have to Jul 19 21:21:04 * Molly nods Jul 19 21:21:28 I do not want Edward meeting his daughter to be clouded Jul 19 21:23:37 No. It needs to be sorted before that Jul 19 21:24:49 * Molly nods Jul 19 21:25:01 I will speak to him tomorrow Jul 19 21:25:47 * Morgan nods Jul 19 21:25:48 Thank you Jul 19 21:29:04 You are always very welcome Jul 19 21:31:15 How long til we dock? Jul 19 21:31:30 I'd think it'll be half after one Jul 19 21:31:54 * Morgan nods Jul 19 21:32:00 I'll get some work done in the meantime then Jul 19 21:33:58 * Molly nods, taking the opportunity for a gentle kiss to his neck "Alright, my love" Jul 19 21:36:07 * Morgan smiles, letting her go to get to work Jul 19 21:40:58 *he's making good progress when he feels the ship start to slow about quarter past one* Jul 19 21:41:31 * Morgan puts the tools away quickly before heading up on deck, brushing off the sawdust as he goes Jul 19 21:46:19 *The land is rugged looking, and he can make out the dock of Stirling in the distance* Jul 19 21:46:24 * Molly is now known as Claudia Jul 19 21:46:33 * Claudia comes to stand with him Jul 19 21:46:37 Hey Jul 19 21:46:51 hey Jul 19 21:50:44 Nearly there Jul 19 21:50:55 * Morgan nods Jul 19 21:51:02 Then we get to see men in skirts again Jul 19 21:52:41 Unfortunately Jul 19 21:53:27 * Morgan nods, looking toward the dock Jul 19 21:53:28 You ok? Jul 19 21:55:56 * Claudia nods Jul 19 21:56:06 Yeah, you? Jul 19 21:56:28 * Morgan nods Jul 19 21:56:33 Yeah, I suppose so Jul 19 21:58:49 Are you all disembarking? Jul 19 21:59:38 Not sure... thinking about it. I want Varick to get some exposure to what its like up here... and I'm after a particular whiskey Jul 19 22:00:27 * Claudia nods Jul 19 22:00:38 I might take a walk with Uinise Jul 19 22:01:46 * Morgan glances at her Jul 19 22:01:47 Alright Jul 19 22:04:15 Unless you need me to stay on board Jul 19 22:04:46 I see no reason to keep you onboard Jul 19 22:05:17 * Claudia nods Jul 19 22:05:33 She probably knows more about it here than me Jul 19 22:05:44 Thats entirely possible Jul 19 22:09:26 * Claudia nods, smiling "She's enthusiastic about it" Jul 19 22:12:33 * Morgan nods, watching her Jul 19 22:12:58 Its infectious Jul 19 22:16:42 * Claudia shrugs Jul 19 22:16:57 I don't care about the place, but I like her enthusiasm Jul 19 22:17:17 I'm sure Jul 19 22:20:04 * Claudia looks at him Jul 19 22:20:15 Are you teasing me? Jul 19 22:20:40 * Morgan lifts his hand without looking at her, his thumb and forefinger a couple of centimetres apart Jul 19 22:22:34 * Claudia nods Jul 19 22:22:49 Thought so Jul 19 22:23:03 * Morgan smiles Jul 19 22:23:14 It is endearing though... and when she gets excited...

They'd be blown away at how fast she is Jul 19 23:20:23 * Sorgi nods, smiling proudly Jul 19 23:20:27 Oh yes Jul 19 23:20:49 * Morgan grins, punching the top of his arm gently Jul 19 23:21:03 I'll go find the harbour master Jul 19 23:22:36 *They speak Avalonian, but some of the people he passes speak it with such an accent that it's hard to tell. He catches a few snatches of Marches Gaelic* Jul 19 23:25:54 * Morgan pays attention to the words as he goes, dealing with the harbour master, asking if he knows where he can acquire some of the whiskey Jul 19 23:27:35 *the harbour master directs him to a brewery that stocks foreign products too, it's about two miles inland* Jul 19 23:27:57 * Morgan thanks him, heading back to the ship Jul 19 23:31:35 * Sorgi is stood beside Claudia, they're talking quietly, both looking at ease Jul 19 23:32:13 * Morgan watches them surreptitiously Jul 19 23:35:22 *there's still an attraction there, but it's quiet and calm, familiar, not fraught like with DeeDee, or manic like with Uinise* Jul 19 23:35:52 * Morgan sighs, leaning against the rail Jul 19 23:35:59 [I know where I might find the whiskey] Jul 19 23:38:08 [oh?] Jul 19 23:38:19 [there's a brewery a couple of miles out] Jul 19 23:40:37 [the boys are still asleep, but you do not need to wait for us, my love] Jul 19 23:40:52 [We'll go exploring later?] Jul 19 23:41:50 [to check it off the list, hmm?] Jul 19 23:42:22 [uhhh, maybe. I was thinking we could take the boys for a walk] Jul 19 23:45:32 [we definitely couldn't misbehave then! Yes, we can do that, my love] Jul 19 23:46:03 [Can you let HeinzHarold know he doesn't need to look for it? I'll go and see what I can find now] Jul 19 23:46:56 [yes, my love. Be careful please] Jul 19 23:47:06 [I will love] Jul 19 23:47:15 * Morgan wanders over to Sorgi and Claudia Jul 19 23:47:30 I've got a lead on something I'm after, I'm going to go find out Jul 19 23:50:07 * Sorgi is the only one there by the time he arrives, just missing her going below Jul 19 23:50:51 We'll keep an ear to the ground around the dock too, if you're after the best price Jul 19 23:50:58 * Morgan nods Jul 19 23:51:01 definitely Jul 19 23:53:43 * Sorgi nods Jul 19 23:53:47 Good luck Jul 19 23:54:09 * Morgan inclines his head, wandering back down the gang plank and heading for the brewery Jul 19 23:57:05 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
