Aug 12 21:59:47 * Florrie nods Aug 12 22:00:08 Nelly: I don't remember you being able to juggle as a boy Aug 12 22:00:26 * Morgan shakes his head Aug 12 22:01:01 No... I learned it while I was at the academy... someone, jokingly, said I'd have better chance of throwing an arrow at someone than firing it, and juggling is just throwing things short distances... Aug 12 22:01:51 V: My Vati is reeeeeeally bad at archery Aug 12 22:02:08 * Morgan nods Aug 12 22:02:09 I am Aug 12 22:03:16 *Nelly smiles* he wasn't very adept as a child Aug 12 22:04:26 Its never been my forte Aug 12 22:04:58 * Florrie is now known as Molly Aug 12 22:05:07 * Molly comes in Aug 12 22:05:35 V: Mama, Nelly is telling me about Vati as a boy Aug 12 22:06:00 * Molly smiles, picking up Emil Aug 12 22:06:20 Oh really? *she looks at Morgan* Aug 12 22:07:09 * Morgan nods Aug 12 22:07:12 She is a bit Aug 12 22:07:44 N: he was a lovely boy, always so thoughtful and kind Aug 12 22:09:57 How things change... Aug 12 22:11:18 * Molly shakes her head Aug 12 22:11:36 He is still that way quite often Aug 12 22:14:20 I have my moments I suppose Aug 12 22:15:06 V: sometimes my Vati has to shout at bad meb Aug 12 22:15:10 Men* Aug 12 22:16:19 Sometimes it is necessary Aug 12 22:17:03 V: he pushed a man in the sea Aug 12 22:17:59 * Molly frowns "Mauschen..." Aug 12 22:18:26 V: it's true! Aug 12 22:20:26 He was... unacceptably rude Aug 12 22:21:24 Nelly: I'm sure you had a good reason, Master mor Aug 12 22:21:31 Morgan * Aug 12 22:21:37 * Morgan nods Aug 12 22:21:48 I only pushed him off the dock... -and- I alerted his crew... Aug 12 22:22:42 N: *she nods* would you like the children bathed before bed? Aug 12 22:23:05 * Morgan nods Aug 12 22:23:11 I think that'd be a good idea, help them settle Aug 12 22:25:06 [do you uhhh... need me?] Aug 12 22:25:38 [meaning? Aug 12 22:26:07 [to be intimate with] Aug 12 22:27:08 [You have something you wish to do?] Aug 12 22:28:33 [Not in preference to making love to you...] Aug 12 22:29:38 [No, love, I was going to have some tea and try to relax before we go see if we can find those people Aug 12 22:31:02 * Molly smiles "Nelly, would you mind if I stayed? I haven't had much experience of bathing Emil on the ship, so I'd welcome a chance to learn from you" Aug 12 22:31:25 *Nelly looks very proud and happy* Of course, my lady! Aug 12 22:31:57 F: *she looks to consider this* Molly do bath? Aug 12 22:33:10 * Molly crouches, which makes Emil chuckle "I'll help with Varick and Emil's baths. If your Mama doesn't mind, and you want me to, I could help with yours?" Aug 12 22:33:29 *Florrie seems to mull this over* Aug 12 22:33:47 * Morgan watches her surrepticiously Aug 12 22:34:27 F: play the flower game? Aug 12 22:34:42 * Molly smiles "Absolutely we will" Aug 12 22:34:59 *Florrie nods* okay ask Mama Aug 12 22:35:19 * Morgan smiles Aug 12 22:35:23 [well done] Aug 12 22:35:32 [thank you] Aug 12 22:36:08 My love, would you ask Alice? And Elsie, if she'd like us to bathe Thomas, it's all good practice Aug 12 22:36:21 * Morgan nods Aug 12 22:36:24 I'll go ask now Aug 12 22:36:43 Thank you Aug 12 22:36:52 * Morgan nods, going off to find Alice first Aug 12 22:37:55 * Molly is now known as Alice Aug 12 22:38:03 * Alice is just exiting her room Aug 12 22:38:13 Just the person... you ok? Aug 12 22:38:23 * Alice smiles Aug 12 22:38:34 I am, thank you, and yourself? Aug 12 22:38:45 * Morgan nods Aug 12 22:39:40 Well enough. Molly's asked me to come ask if you'd mind if she bathes Florrie, with Nelly's help. She wants the experience of someone who's done it a lot Aug 12 22:41:32 * Alice smiles "I'm happy for her to do it, but I don't know Florrie will accept it" Aug 12 22:41:56 She seems willing... providing she plays the flower game... Aug 12 22:43:22 * Alice nods Aug 12 22:43:55 It's where Molly describes a plant or flower, and Florrie guesses what it is Aug 12 22:44:42 Lets hope she's better at it than me... Aug 12 22:46:25 * Alice smiles "me too" Aug 12 22:46:52 She seems to be growing up all of a sudden... Aug 12 22:49:13 * Alice nods Aug 12 22:49:30 She is. And it's good, because that's normal, but... Aug 12 22:49:53 But... Aug 12 22:50:45 It's just been me and her all her life Aug 12 22:51:22 You're feeling a little left behind? Aug 12 22:51:38 * Alice nods Aug 12 22:52:00 My whole life has been to protect her and look after her Aug 12 22:52:35 You don't think you still are? Aug 12 22:53:30 I can rely on other people now Aug 12 22:53:48 * Morgan nods Aug 12 22:55:14 So can Florrie Aug 12 22:55:37 You've put her in a position where she can have that connection with others as she chooses. You've made her feel safe enough that she can do that knowing she's always got you behind her. You've put -yourself- in a place where you've had to trust others like you never have before. Aug 12 22:55:55 * Alice nods Aug 12 22:57:18 It's good, it's just different Aug 12 22:57:43 Its difficult Aug 12 22:58:01 * Alice nods Aug 12 22:58:14 It seems like she needs me less Aug 12 22:59:29 You're her roots... the flower you can see growing and blooming, its because she has those roots, that she will always need Aug 12 23:00:04 * Alice smiles Aug 12 23:00:09 Thanks, Morgan Aug 12 23:00:58 * Morgan nods Aug 12 23:01:00 Always Aug 12 23:03:13 I'll read for a little while til her bedtime then Aug 12 23:03:42 * Morgan nods alright. I'm going to go find out if Elsie and James would mind if Molly bathes Thomas Aug 12 23:06:00 * Alice nods, going back in Aug 12 23:06:18 * Morgan heads off to find Elsie and James Aug 12 23:09:06 *they are found in her room* Aug 12 23:09:14 * Morgan knocks Aug 12 23:10:05 * Alice is now known as Elsie Aug 12 23:10:09 Come in Aug 12 23:10:24 * Morgan opens the door Aug 12 23:11:28 Molly's asked if you'd mind... if she and Nelly bathe Thomas Aug 12 23:12:13 * Elsie and James are sat drinking tea, and Thomas is asleep on the bed Aug 12 23:12:31 That would be nice, he'll wake soon Aug 12 23:13:01 * Morgan nods Aug 12 23:13:06 You want to bring him down when he does?
