Aug 27 18:13:46 * Christopher smiles Aug 27 18:14:18 You have your family to see to, and I am happy pottering around as usual Aug 27 18:14:33 * Morgan nods, getting up Aug 27 18:14:40 Perhaps you'd like to keep Bir company? Aug 27 18:15:20 * Christopher nods Aug 27 18:15:30 That would be nice Aug 27 18:15:57 * Morgan nods, looking at Bir Aug 27 18:16:01 Stay here Bir Aug 27 18:17:19 B: Muah! Aug 27 18:17:45 * Morgan smiles, kissing the birds head before nodding to Christopher and heading up to his room Aug 27 18:18:02 * Christopher is now known as Molly Aug 27 18:18:34 * Molly is positioning a bowl on the dresser Aug 27 18:18:43 Good afternoon, my love Aug 27 18:19:34 Hello love Aug 27 18:19:58 I forgot the bottle, and Emil didn't feed much Aug 27 18:22:46 Thats unfortunate Aug 27 18:22:56 * Molly nods Aug 27 18:23:15 I'll express, and then we can go out for a walk if you'd like? Aug 27 18:23:21 * Morgan nods Aug 27 18:23:24 That would be nice Aug 27 18:24:30 Unless you wanted to...? Aug 27 18:24:53 * Morgan shakes his head Aug 27 18:24:56 Doesn't really feel right Aug 27 18:25:39 Being intimate in the daytime " Aug 27 18:25:41 ? Aug 27 18:26:29 here Aug 27 18:27:46 * Molly frowns a little Aug 27 18:28:09 You intended us to be celibate until we get back to the ship? Aug 27 18:28:53 I didn't -intend- anything Aug 27 18:31:01 * Molly nods, undoing her dress Aug 27 18:31:34 Probably wise. Can you imagine bringing me here next spring when I am increasing, and trying to stick to that?! Aug 27 18:32:42 * Morgan nods Aug 27 18:32:46 Unlikely Aug 27 18:32:54 * Molly nods Aug 27 18:33:05 I'm looking forward to it Aug 27 18:38:10 * Morgan nods Aug 27 18:42:04 * Molly starts the expressing. The dresser does look a little like that from the dream where he'd been taking her from behind when she was heavily pregnant, supposed to be expressing her milk into the bowl but instead he'd gotten it everywhere Aug 27 18:42:08 How are you? Aug 27 18:42:31 I'm... alright I think Aug 27 18:43:33 You do not sound sure Aug 27 18:44:20 I'm not looking forward to what I have to do when we get home Aug 27 18:44:50 * Molly nods Aug 27 18:45:10 Maybe it should wait until the baptism, so we are together? Aug 27 18:45:19 * Morgan shakes his head Aug 27 18:45:37 No, He'll need time to get try ti come to terms with it before then Aug 27 18:47:19 I should be with you. Aug 27 18:47:48 I'll be fine Aug 27 18:49:16 * Molly nods Aug 27 18:49:24 We'll have mirrors Aug 27 18:49:34 * Morgan nods Aug 27 18:50:16 I'll leave a note for Walder and Jacques to send a couple more pairs home? Aug 27 18:50:27 * Morgan nods Aug 27 18:50:38 Thats a good idea. I did say I'd send one back to Catherine too Aug 27 18:51:14 * Molly nods, concentrating a few moments to make sure it doesn't go awry Aug 27 18:51:49 That'll be nice Aug 27 18:52:16 * Morgan nods Aug 27 18:55:46 Inga said something that surprised me... Aug 27 18:55:55 Oh? Aug 27 18:56:44 We were talking about raising children, and how she will be a wonderful mother... she said she never knew a family to learn from, but she's watched us Aug 27 18:57:28 * Molly smiles Aug 27 18:57:38 that's nice, isn't it? Aug 27 18:57:47 * Morgan nods Aug 27 18:57:49 Very, I thought Aug 27 18:57:59 Is she sad today? Aug 27 18:59:10 She doesn't really seem it Aug 27 19:00:11 * Molly nods Aug 27 19:00:58 They're focusing on getting to Hafenlohr and building their nest. I think the misery they've seen with Mina and Edward mean they're not worrying about it for now Aug 27 19:02:59 * Morgan nods Aug 27 19:03:28 I'm somewhat dreading speaking to him tomorrow... I don't imagine the talking to that Mina got will have gone down well Aug 27 19:04:40 * Molly shrugs, doing up her dress Aug 27 19:05:09 I will speak to him instead if he wishes to berate anyone Aug 27 19:05:50 No, I will not hide from him Aug 27 19:06:15 She has to try to do better Aug 27 19:06:29 * Morgan nods Aug 27 19:06:31 Yes she does Aug 27 19:09:08 We won't be talking for long as they have church and we will be heading back to Durham Aug 27 19:09:40 * Morgan nods Aug 27 19:09:43 aye Aug 27 19:12:15 How do you feel about that? Aug 27 19:12:25 They can go to church if they like Aug 27 19:12:31 * Molly laughs Aug 27 19:12:40 No, leaving Avalon Aug 27 19:13:21 * Morgan shrugs Aug 27 19:13:25 I'll miss it here Aug 27 19:15:52 * Molly nods Aug 27 19:16:10 We'll come back, maybe late in the summer? Aug 27 19:16:17 * Morgan nods Aug 27 19:16:20 Time allowing Aug 27 19:17:36 * Molly nods, smiling Aug 27 19:17:51 Before I get morning sickness Aug 27 19:18:55 * Morgan nods Aug 27 19:21:34 And we will need to be home by the memorial Aug 27 19:24:04 * Morgan nods Aug 27 19:26:14 You will want to be there this time? Aug 27 19:28:48 I think that would be proper Aug 27 19:30:12 * Molly nods Aug 27 19:30:22 I would like to be there Aug 27 19:30:37 Oh? Aug 27 19:36:48 It's important Aug 27 19:37:10 * Morgan nods Aug 27 19:37:11 I feel so Aug 27 19:40:17 * Molly nods "And I shouldn't be pregnant enough then for that to be a problem" Aug 27 19:40:28 * Morgan nods Aug 27 19:40:32 We'll see Aug 27 19:40:57 At most it would be one week after conception Aug 27 19:41:37 * Morgan nods Aug 27 19:41:46 I expect it to be difficult Aug 27 19:41:54 * Molly nods Aug 27 19:42:08 The dreams might be bad, and the flashbacks Aug 27 19:42:19 * Morgan nods Aug 27 19:45:10 * Molly gets her cloak Aug 27 19:46:02 Do you think Edward will come? Aug 27 19:46:17 I doubt it Aug 27 19:51:17 Would you permit it? Aug 27 19:52:59 Its an interesting question... I would not stop him paying his respects... from finding that closure, if he needs it. Aug 27 19:55:05 But you would not want him there? Aug 27 19:56:46 I'm not sure I understand... are you asking if I'd want him to stay away, or if I'd want him there for me... Aug 27 19:58:45 If you would want him to stay away, that you would feel his presence would harm you Aug 27 19:59:56 I don't think it would... it might well make it harder, but... he's not the man I thought him to be... I've seen the pain his actions have caused, I understand he could see no other way... Aug 27 20:01:23 * Molly nods Aug 27 20:01:57 Perhaps the best option would be to not outright invite, but not turn him down if he asks? Aug 27 20:02:38 I'll think about it Aug 27 20:05:01 * Molly nods Aug 27 20:05:09 You'll want a cloak, my love Aug 27 20:05:51 Will I? Aug 27 20:08:25 It's a little rainy still Aug 27 20:09:48 * Morgan nods, finding his cloak Aug 27 20:12:16 * Molly waits til he's ready to go. It's only a very light drizzle, and they walk around the house til they find a swing beneath a thick covering of violets that keeps it dry Aug 27 20:13:26 * Morgan looks around Aug 27 20:13:44 My uncle suggested we take the children back to the hot house after their naps Aug 27 20:13:58 That will be nice Aug 27 20:14:11 * Molly sits down Aug 27 20:14:30 This is where your Father proposed to your Mother, did you know? Aug 27 20:15:13 * Morgan looks around Aug 27 20:15:22 Suitable Aug 27 20:17:18 * Molly smiles Aug 27 20:18:00 They spent the whole night out here talking about her giving up her life here in Avalon to become an Eisen Grafin Aug 27 20:19:04 A huge change Aug 27 20:20:28 * Molly nods Aug 27 20:21:12 Going to a country that had been at War for years, with no end in sight, needing to convert, facing all the prejudice against him marrying out of Eisen... Aug 27 20:21:26 * Morgan nods Aug 27 20:24:41 * Molly smiles Aug 27 20:24:45 How brave she was Aug 27 20:25:35 * Morgan nods Aug 27 20:25:54 Its a huge thing, leaving your home to move to a foreign country where there is conflict Aug 27 20:27:53 * Molly nods Aug 27 20:32:25 Particularly when it is between siblings Aug 27 20:32:47 * Molly watches him Aug 27 20:32:59 I cannot tell if this is a compliment? Aug 27 20:33:15 Why wouldn't it be? Aug 27 20:37:23 I wasn't sure if you meant me Aug 27 20:38:04 I thought that was fairly obvious Aug 27 20:38:47 * Molly smiles Aug 27 20:39:00 I don't think it was particularly brave, my love Aug 27 20:39:46 * Morgan shrugs Aug 27 20:39:47 I disagree Aug 27 20:43:08 I couldn't have stood to let you go Aug 27 20:46:21 No? Aug 27 20:48:57 I loved you far, far too much Aug 27 20:49:28 * Morgan nods Aug 27 20:49:44 There isn't a day goes by I'm not thankful you came with me Aug 27 20:51:16 * Molly blushes Aug 27 20:51:27 Even on the toughest days? Aug 27 20:51:43 * Morgan nods Aug 27 20:51:44 yes Aug 27 20:53:46 * Molly smiles Aug 27 20:53:53 Thank you, that's touching Aug 27 20:54:17 * Morgan smiles Aug 27 20:54:29 My uncle says we seem much more at ease than at Edwards wedding Aug 27 20:55:32 * Molly nods Aug 27 20:55:44 Things changed, many times Aug 27 20:56:29 * Morgan nods Aug 27 20:56:33 Yes, they did Aug 27 20:58:24 When you came back from catching Kai, and then when you told me you wanted a baby immediately. When you died. And when you told me that you were where you wanted to be now. Aug 27 20:58:44 * Morgan nods Aug 27 21:01:10 Those were all very big moments for us. Do you have others? Aug 27 21:11:24 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Aug 27 21:20:01 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
