**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Aug 25 15:46:58 2023 Aug 25 15:46:59 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Aug 25 16:13:53 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Aug 25 17:04:36 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Aug 25 18:47:54 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Aug 25 18:49:11 * MollyK is now known as Inga Aug 25 18:49:22 * Inga looks up, watching Bir fly Aug 25 18:49:45 How are you feeling about the girls' trip to Freiburg Aug 25 18:50:17 If I'm honest.... Anxious Aug 25 18:51:26 What are you worried about? Aug 25 18:51:48 Everyones safety... my nightmares... Aug 25 18:53:29 Molly will keep us safe, and Claudia will be going with Uinise? Aug 25 18:53:55 * Morgan nods Aug 25 18:56:59 We'll be really safe then. Was it a week? Aug 25 18:57:13 About that, aye Aug 25 18:57:46 We're going to leave just after the draw Aug 25 18:59:44 * Morgan nods Aug 25 18:59:49 Yes, that's right Aug 25 19:00:09 Emil is coming with us Aug 25 19:00:53 * Morgan nods Aug 25 19:01:00 He'll need feeding Aug 25 19:01:20 He'd miss the bubbies otherwise, like Heinzharold Aug 25 19:01:53 * Morgan nods Aug 25 19:01:57 I'll have to keep him occupied Aug 25 19:02:06 * Inga nods Aug 25 19:02:16 He'll want to work on the house Aug 25 19:03:15 * Morgan nods Aug 25 19:03:21 I'm going to get people in to help us Aug 25 19:04:50 * Inga nods Aug 25 19:05:08 It won't take too long until we're out of your hair Aug 25 19:05:22 Its not like that love Aug 25 19:07:20 You need some space just for the four of you Aug 25 19:08:29 * Morgan smiles a little Aug 25 19:09:19 The curse of nobility... we're never just the four of us, and never will be. Its important that you and he have somewhere thats just yours, that you can shut the door on the world and just... -be- Aug 25 19:11:27 * Inga smiles "I'm looking forward to running my own home" Aug 25 19:13:04 * Morgan nods Aug 25 19:14:29 We won't be there long before you go to Sudlachenburg Aug 25 19:14:58 No... I can't say I'm looking forward to it Aug 25 19:17:39 Why? Aug 25 19:18:10 I have to explain to Otto and Sascha about Florrie... and... I have to tell my parents about her abilities... and my own. Aug 25 19:19:56 That's going to be difficult Aug 25 19:20:07 My father is going to go berserk Aug 25 19:22:05 * Inga nods Aug 25 19:22:11 Won't you need Molly? Aug 25 19:23:24 She'll be needed at home. And I won't have my father's temper affecting my sons Aug 25 19:23:31 Or Florrie Aug 25 19:24:59 * Inga nods Aug 25 19:25:05 You'll miss her though? Aug 25 19:26:52 Of course Aug 25 19:28:12 We'll keep her busy around the house, there'll be a lot to decide about redecorating Aug 25 19:31:13 * Morgan nods Aug 25 19:31:21 I have a feeling she already has a great deal in mind Aug 25 19:31:57 * Inga nods Aug 25 19:32:18 I think she's ready to make somewhere that's a permanent home for you all Aug 25 19:32:40 * Morgan nods Aug 25 19:32:43 I inclined to agree Aug 25 19:33:12 The two of you seem so ready for that now Aug 25 19:34:38 * Morgan nods Aug 25 19:34:41 I think so, yes Aug 25 19:35:58 Going away seems to have made you closer Aug 25 19:37:12 * Morgan nods Aug 25 19:37:16 A lot has changed Aug 25 19:37:37 * Inga nods Aug 25 19:37:55 It seems like you are starting to really move forward now Aug 25 19:39:51 * Morgan shrugs Aug 25 19:40:24 In many ways. The grief is still there and always will be but... its not... all there is anymore Aug 25 19:40:54 You and Molly don't seem to skirt around it anymore Aug 25 19:41:27 * Morgan nods Aug 25 19:41:38 Like you said, that gaping hole doesn't appear anymore Aug 25 19:43:55 * Inga nods Aug 25 19:44:12 It's good, you two deserve to be happy Aug 25 19:46:34 likewise Aug 25 19:48:02 * Inga smiles Aug 25 19:48:17 We're happy. Heinzharold is a naturally happy person Aug 25 19:50:09 * Morgan nods Aug 25 19:50:11 He always has been Aug 25 19:52:56 * Inga nods, smiling Aug 25 19:53:03 He's very easy to love Aug 25 19:56:28 * Morgan nods Aug 25 19:56:37 Yes, he is. He's getting more and more like Da Aug 25 19:57:29 * Inga nods "he's going to be the best father" Aug 25 19:58:12 * Morgan nods Aug 25 19:58:14 Yes, he is Aug 25 20:03:10 You're already good with your sons, I hope you'll help him with anything he needs Aug 25 20:03:36 He's never going to need any help in that... I'm bloody certain of it Aug 25 20:05:36 Maybe, but it'll help him to have you to talk to about daddy things Aug 25 20:05:43 * Morgan nods Aug 25 20:05:44 Always Aug 25 20:06:39 Will it be nice for you to have that too next time? Aug 25 20:06:58 * Morgan nods Aug 25 20:07:17 Yes, it will. And, hopefully, not being essentially estranged from my family Aug 25 20:07:54 * Inga nods Aug 25 20:08:11 They're going to adore your next child Aug 25 20:11:53 Assuming they're still talking to me... Aug 25 20:12:28 Why wouldn't they? Aug 25 20:13:20 There's a distinct possibility I won't be welcomed anymore once they know about what I can do... my fathers view on anything even slightly magical is quite strict Aug 25 20:16:31 He wouldn't be that stupid, would he? Aug 25 20:17:07 Its not stupidity, its his interpretation of the holy book, and we know how strong his faith is Aug 25 20:20:11 But he needs you Aug 25 20:20:50 * Morgan shrugs Aug 25 20:22:23 Who else would be the next Graf? Aug 25 20:23:58 * Morgan shrugs Aug 25 20:24:11 Edward. Or he'd just cut me off until he passed Aug 25 20:27:06 or... he'd decide something had to be done about it... Aug 25 20:29:39 Mina won't agree to leave Graben for that Aug 25 20:30:03 * Morgan shrugs Aug 25 20:32:20 What might he do? Aug 25 20:32:26 She won't have much choice if my father decides to do something... terminal... Aug 25 20:37:11 He'd never do that... surely? *inga looks very worried* Aug 25 20:38:25 In all honesty, Inga, I don't know. He's worried about the condition of Edwards soul because he has a tattoo... Aug 25 20:39:12 Maybe you -should- take Molly Aug 25 20:40:36 No, she's needed at home Aug 25 20:42:23 Does she know you're scared? Aug 25 20:42:43 She knows I'm anxious... I'd not really thought it through quite that much until now Aug 25 20:44:48 * Inga nods Aug 25 20:45:01 You have to protect yourself Aug 25 20:49:17 difficult Aug 25 20:53:05 * Inga nods Aug 25 20:53:13 You don't want to disappoint them Aug 25 20:53:38 No, I really don't Aug 25 20:54:05 You'll always have us Aug 25 20:54:53 * Morgan nods Aug 25 20:57:59 And now Molly has the trade agreement they can't take Gottkirchen away from you Aug 25 20:58:31 No, probably not Aug 25 20:59:52 She did well there Aug 25 21:00:31 * Morgan nods Aug 25 21:00:35 She did amazingly Aug 25 21:01:41 It definitely tired us out, her especially Aug 25 21:02:07 * Morgan nods Aug 25 21:02:32 You don't really think about how much energy constantly negotiating and being the centre of attention takes Aug 25 21:02:42 * Inga nods Aug 25 21:02:54 I didn't like being a man really Aug 25 21:03:42 * Morgan nods Aug 25 21:04:00 Looked good on you, though... mind, there'd be uproar if men here had to wear that sort of getup Aug 25 21:04:52 * Inga giggles Aug 25 21:05:02 Heinzharold still has his skirt Aug 25 21:05:14 He's weird Aug 25 21:06:06 He says he's wearing it for the baptisms Aug 25 21:07:28 Yes... except he's not, or he'll be a eunuch shortly thereafter Aug 25 21:08:41 Oh, please don't, I need that! Aug 25 21:09:19 I suggest then you encourage him into trousers Aug 25 21:10:00 Or breeches? Aug 25 21:10:30 * Morgan nods Aug 25 21:14:03 Molly's going to make her dress, from that shimmery green fabric that she wore in the Feast Night there, when we were covered in the patterns Aug 25 21:14:33 * Morgan nods Aug 25 21:14:39 That'll be nice... fitting too, for Emil Aug 25 21:14:45 * Inga nods Aug 25 21:15:04 Are you excited to get them baptised? Aug 25 21:16:08 * Morgan nods Aug 25 21:16:19 It sort of feels like... its making it all official... Aug 25 21:20:23 * Inga nods Aug 25 21:20:38 Like you'll be a family fully then? Aug 25 21:20:59 * Morgan rubs his chin Aug 25 21:21:26 We're already a family... but we won't be... I don't know, fractured by our different beliefs... Aug 25 21:24:02 * Inga nods Aug 25 21:24:28 It's nice Varick is going to be Objectionist, and that Emil won't be Atu'an Aug 25 21:24:58 * Morgan nods Aug 25 21:26:28 Its like we'll be properly united Aug 25 21:26:50 * Inga nods Aug 25 21:27:05 It's going to be so sweet seeing them all dressed up Aug 25 21:27:54 * Morgan nods, rocking Emil Aug 25 21:28:01 Aye, it will. Aug 25 21:29:36 And next summer or autumn you'll be doing it all again? Aug 25 21:30:20 * Morgan nods Aug 25 21:30:22 Oh yes Aug 25 21:34:24 Is that exciting, knowing when they're coming? Aug 25 21:35:15 I only know the one. Its sort of difficult... I'm impatient, but I know no matter what we do, it'll come to nothing until then Aug 25 21:36:58 I wish it was much quicker for you Aug 25 21:37:18 * Morgan sighs Aug 25 21:37:46 It is what it is love... Knowing its coming is enough... I wish Edward had that surety Aug 25 21:39:55 * Inga nods Aug 25 21:40:10 You already have a baby to love now Aug 25 21:41:42 * Morgan nods, stroking the boys hair Aug 25 21:42:11 He's another thing my father will go bonkers about... at least until he lays eyes on him Aug 25 21:42:44 * Inga nods Aug 25 21:43:03 It'd be hard to be mad when he's so cute Aug 25 21:43:14 * Morgan nods Aug 25 21:43:34 I certainly hope thats the case anyway Aug 25 21:47:40 Would you like a girl next? Aug 25 21:48:24 Doesn't matter what I'd like... I know what we're having Aug 25 21:50:14 Do you?! Aug 25 21:52:06 * Morgan nods Aug 25 21:53:25 Does Molly know? Aug 25 21:53:37 no... she didn't want to know Aug 25 21:54:51 You definitely can't tell me then Aug 25 22:07:34 No... I don't think it'd be fair anyway Aug 25 22:08:58 Heinzharold would like a boy, to continue the name Aug 25 22:09:13 * Morgan smiles, nodding Aug 25 22:09:22 That'd be... -right- I think Aug 25 22:11:34 I thought we might call him Harry, to save confusion when he's young Aug 25 22:12:35 I don't remember there being any confusion with HeinzHarold and Da... Aug 25 22:13:15 People called them Heinzharold Senior and Junior Aug 25 22:14:09 * Morgan nods Aug 25 22:14:13 I suppose they did... Aug 25 22:15:51 Don't you like it? Aug 25 22:16:35 Oh love, of course I do, it just occurred to me thats all... but then it didn't take long for me to start calling him Da as well so I never really thought about him being a HeinzHarold Aug 25 22:17:24 * Inga nods Aug 25 22:18:11 Florrie calls Edward Vati Aug 25 22:18:21 * Morgan nods Aug 25 22:18:27 He's guided her to it I think Aug 25 22:20:44 Is it odd? Aug 25 22:21:08 Why do you think so? Aug 25 22:21:22 Because Jana called you that and she looks just like her Aug 25 22:21:42 * Morgan smiles faintly, looking out across the lake Aug 25 22:22:08 I didn't think that would occur to anyone else. I don't think its odd... what father wouldn't want his children to call him that? Aug 25 22:23:18 It was actually Molly who said about it to me. Heinzharold doesn't want to be Vati Aug 25 22:23:43 He wants to be Da? Aug 25 22:25:34 * Inga nods, smiling Aug 25 22:25:41 He does Aug 25 22:25:53 * Morgan nods Aug 25 22:25:56 Thats only right Aug 25 22:27:23 * Inga nods Aug 25 22:27:36 It is Aug 25 22:28:29 * Morgan nods Aug 25 22:28:34 It does hurt Aug 25 22:29:30 Florrie? Aug 25 22:30:38 * Morgan nods Aug 25 22:34:20 After what he did... Aug 25 22:34:46 * Morgan shrugs Aug 25 22:35:11 No, its not that... its just... that face saying it. Aug 25 22:35:53 * Inga nods Aug 25 22:36:03 Your heart forgets for a moment? Aug 25 22:36:17 * Morgan nods Aug 25 22:36:32 Its not quite as rough as seeing her sleep though Aug 25 22:37:57 Without the eyes they're identical? Aug 25 22:38:03 * Morgan nods Aug 25 22:38:05 exactly Aug 25 22:39:45 It's very sad Aug 25 22:40:52 * Morgan nods Aug 25 22:41:09 Yes, it is. *he sighs* but its where we are. Aug 25 22:41:36 * Inga nods Aug 25 22:42:15 Happiness comes again, just not the same as before Aug 25 22:42:39 * Morgan nods Aug 25 22:42:43 That is very true Aug 25 22:43:46 * Inga nods, watching them all swim Aug 25 22:43:53 There's a lot of happiness here Aug 25 22:44:30 * Morgan nods Aug 25 22:44:33 There always has been Aug 25 22:46:41 * Inga nods Aug 25 22:46:57 That's how I want my children to remember our home Aug 25 22:47:08 * Morgan nods Aug 25 22:47:13 I've no doubt they will Aug 25 22:48:59 Thank you. I didn't have parents to learn from, but I've seen you and Molly doing it Aug 25 22:50:38 * Morgan stretches out, getting comfortable Aug 25 22:51:06 Molly's a natural. I won't be at all surprised to find you are... you both love deeply. Aug 25 22:51:54 * Inga smiles Aug 25 22:52:10 I don't know how people can't love their children really Aug 25 22:52:38 * Morgan shakes his head Aug 25 22:53:10 I think mostly that isn't the problem... they forget they're supposed to set an example at the same time Aug 25 22:54:00 * Inga nods Aug 25 22:54:13 They pick up so much, don't they? Aug 25 22:54:34 * Morgan nods Aug 25 22:54:52 They're always watching, learning from you. Aug 25 22:55:59 * Inga nods Aug 25 22:56:10 Your bad habits become their bad habits Aug 25 22:56:24 * Morgan nods Aug 25 22:56:29 Your values become theirs Aug 25 22:57:32 * Inga nods Aug 25 22:57:37 For good or bad Aug 25 22:57:48 * Morgan nods Aug 25 22:57:52 quite Aug 25 23:00:11 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Aug 25 23:46:54 * Inga has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
