**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Sep 9 13:57:41 2023 Sep 09 13:57:41 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Sep 09 16:10:49 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 09 17:33:55 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Sep 09 19:14:15 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Sep 09 19:14:44 At least... he'll get to see her again Sep 09 19:15:18 Yeah... but what, every six months? Every year? Sep 09 19:15:31 * MollyK is now known as HH Sep 09 19:15:57 And every day with the mirrors... its not the same but its better than nothing Sep 09 19:16:14 * HH nods Sep 09 19:16:31 Don't envy him that distance though Sep 09 19:16:49 Better than nothing Sep 09 19:17:10 Guess so Sep 09 19:18:04 Gotta be grateful for what they have for now Sep 09 19:18:16 * HH nods Sep 09 19:18:50 Be easier if they get a babe on the way Sep 09 19:19:17 * Morgan nods Sep 09 19:19:18 Definitely Sep 09 19:19:32 No sign o' that? Sep 09 19:19:58 * Morgan shakes his head Sep 09 19:19:59 Not yet, no Sep 09 19:20:29 * HH nods Sep 09 19:20:57 Hope it's soon f' them Sep 09 19:21:04 * Morgan nods Sep 09 19:21:16 Me too. It'd make things so much easier Sep 09 19:21:55 Mebbie they should adopt one, give 'er a focus Sep 09 19:22:30 I don't think it'd work... I suspect for her it'd be an example of failing to do what she's supposed to Sep 09 19:22:39 * HH nods Sep 09 19:23:20 She's a bit older than th' other wives too, prob'ly plays on her mind. 'Cept Stef, of course Sep 09 19:24:04 * Morgan nods Sep 09 19:24:09 She must be massive by now Sep 09 19:24:20 * HH chuckles Sep 09 19:24:41 Yep. Need t' get you some blinkers? Sep 09 19:25:23 Don't be daft Sep 09 19:25:36 * HH laughs Sep 09 19:25:46 We all know it's yer thing Sep 09 19:26:15 Its not my 'thing' at all Sep 09 19:26:30 * HH shrugs Sep 09 19:26:41 Whatcha reckon she's having? Sep 09 19:27:23 Probably a baby Sep 09 19:27:33 Boy? Sep 09 19:28:39 * Morgan shrugs Sep 09 19:29:18 I Reck'n Boy. Fuchs seems like th' sort who has a lotta boys Sep 09 19:30:18 I'm not sure that follows... Tough to say, though... I can see he'd be great with boys but I suspect he'd dote on girls too Sep 09 19:30:31 * HH nods Sep 09 19:31:45 Reck'n yer more of a boy Vati too, prob'ly good as y' need two boys Sep 09 19:32:37 Reckon? Sep 09 19:32:42 * HH nods Sep 09 19:33:01 Yep. Can picture you with a houseful of boys Sep 09 19:34:16 We'll see Sep 09 19:35:03 * HH nods Sep 09 19:35:16 You know what yer getting next, right? Sep 09 19:35:48 * Morgan nods Sep 09 19:35:49 I do Sep 09 19:37:09 That spoil th' surprise a bit? Sep 09 19:37:48 * Morgan smiles a little Sep 09 19:37:54 Aye, it does a bit Sep 09 19:43:04 Molly knows tha' pretty early anyway, like with Jarvie? *it's about three months in* Sep 09 19:43:39 * Morgan nods Sep 09 19:43:42 Assuming she tries to find out Sep 09 19:45:32 * HH nods Sep 09 19:45:50 Isn' just automatic then? Sep 09 19:46:15 Not so far as I know, no Sep 09 19:47:22 * HH nods "not findin' out with the ones after then?" Sep 09 19:47:58 * Morgan shrugs Sep 09 19:48:06 I don't know to be honest... would you want to know? Sep 09 19:49:33 Nope, would wanna find out after the birth Sep 09 19:50:03 * Morgan nods Sep 09 19:50:07 traditionalist Sep 09 19:51:04 Jarvie's kid is the first in th' world where someone knew the sex before the birth, it's pretty odd Sep 09 19:52:05 That we know about... Sep 09 19:53:13 True, but... Sep 09 19:53:18 But? Sep 09 19:53:30 It's not likely Sep 09 19:54:32 * Morgan shrugs Sep 09 19:54:37 Maybe, maybe not Sep 09 19:56:07 Would you've found out through Molly any'ow? Sep 09 19:57:24 More than likely Sep 09 19:57:34 * HH nods Sep 09 19:57:52 Wonder where our girls got to? Sep 09 19:58:25 * Morgan nods Sep 09 19:58:30 Figured they'd be here by now Sep 09 19:59:01 Prob'ly gossiping. No Claudia neither Sep 09 19:59:17 She wasn't with Uinise earlier Sep 09 20:00:14 No? Sep 09 20:00:48 * Morgan shakes his head Sep 09 20:01:01 You gonn' go find them, or shall I? Sep 09 20:01:26 Up t' you, man Sep 09 20:01:28 [is all well? I thought you'd be with us by now] Sep 09 20:02:12 [sorry, my love, we got engrossed in looking at the book. We'll be along in a minute] Sep 09 20:02:57 They'll be along in a moment. Doesn't answer the question about Claudia though Sep 09 20:05:07 Mebbie they're taking a romantic stroll Sep 09 20:05:38 * Morgan shrugs Sep 09 20:05:56 Might go find out Sep 09 20:06:51 * HH nods Sep 09 20:08:17 Once the others arrive Sep 09 20:10:20 *it takes about five minutes before everyone else is there, still no Claudia and Uinise* Sep 09 20:10:35 * Morgan excuses himself and goes looking for them Sep 09 20:14:12 *He finds them fairly secluded over by the trees. Uinise is laughing and darting amongst them whilst Claudia tries to catch her. They look to be enjoying themselves, especially when Claudia catches her arm and pulls her in. He can almost feel the heat coming off them when they watch each other, both out of breath Sep 09 20:14:37 * Morgan watches them for a moment before quietly blending away Sep 09 20:17:06 *they don't follow or even notice him. The one who he sees next is Molly* Sep 09 20:17:12 * HH is now known as Molly Sep 09 20:17:21 Are you alright, my love? Sep 09 20:17:25 * Morgan nods Sep 09 20:17:30 Fine. You? Sep 09 20:18:08 * Molly nods, smiling Sep 09 20:18:13 Indeed I am Sep 09 20:18:30 Oh? Sep 09 20:18:53 A little broody though Sep 09 20:19:07 * Morgan nods Sep 09 20:19:13 Thomas having that effect on you? Sep 09 20:19:29 Thomas, Florrie, Emil Sep 09 20:20:38 * Morgan nods Sep 09 20:21:39 * Molly smiles Sep 09 20:21:47 Does he make you broody? Sep 09 20:22:28 * Morgan nods Sep 09 20:22:47 It'd be obvious I I weren't so preoccupied Sep 09 20:23:02 What preoccupies you? Sep 09 20:23:54 * Morgan smiles slightly Sep 09 20:23:57 Its quite a list Sep 09 20:25:16 Shall we go somewhere quiet so you can unburden yourself? Sep 09 20:26:28 I'm alright love Sep 09 20:28:39 But alright isn't enough. I want to help you be joyous, and to spend some time with that baby getting all broody and giddy *she smiles* Sep 09 20:29:57 * Morgan nods Sep 09 20:30:10 Alright Sep 09 20:31:16 Will we get some tea and sit somewhere sunny? Sep 09 20:31:34 If you like Sep 09 20:34:12 * Molly nods. They get set up on a couch in a pleasantly warm conservatory, and she gives him some tea Sep 09 20:34:29 Now... what is on your mind? Sep 09 20:35:16 * Morgan sips his tea Sep 09 20:35:43 Sebastien, Edward and Mina, Edward and Florrie, my parents, Sascha and Otto, Holzheim... Sep 09 20:36:35 Alright. What about Seb is troubling you? Sep 09 20:37:08 Telling him, how he'll react... and the knowledge that he is meant to replace me... Sep 09 20:38:54 * Molly nods Sep 09 20:39:15 It's going to be had for him to accept. I still find it difficult myself Sep 09 20:39:30 * Morgan nods Sep 09 20:39:37 I don't know where to start with it Sep 09 20:40:24 * Molly nods Sep 09 20:40:49 How about with the Rose's magical travel? Sep 09 20:42:43 * Morgan nods Sep 09 20:42:50 possibly... Sep 09 20:44:59 Or... *she sips her tea* summon the Nibelungen and make them explain it to him Sep 09 20:45:52 I don't know if you've noticed, but Eisenmen are rather awed by them, so it probably wouldn't result in him actually listening Sep 09 20:46:17 besides... their way of explaining is without care for a man's sensibilities Sep 09 20:47:51 * Molly nods Sep 09 20:48:32 It will be hard for him to hear that he will be expected to be with me when he has no interest in me Sep 09 20:48:45 * Morgan nods Sep 09 20:48:47 I imagine so Sep 09 20:51:33 Do you want me to be there? Sep 09 20:52:31 No, I don't think so. I don't want to trade on your family ties, he needs to come to trust me and what I say Sep 09 20:53:01 * Molly nods Sep 09 20:53:07 I suppose so, yes Sep 09 20:54:23 * Morgan nods Sep 09 20:59:27 What will you tell, and what will you hide? Sep 09 21:00:03 * Morgan shrugs Sep 09 21:00:06 I don't know yet Sep 09 21:00:32 What worries you? Sep 09 21:01:24 What he'll do with the information... Sep 09 21:04:08 We should ask the Nibelungen for something to wipe his memory if needs be Sep 09 21:06:27 * Morgan nods Sep 09 21:06:28 I suppose so Sep 09 21:09:54 That way if it seems he is too burdened he can forget Sep 09 21:13:03 * Morgan nods Sep 09 21:13:17 Means getting hold of them before I speak to him... Sep 09 21:22:32 Was that not your intention as soon as we are on Eisen soil? Sep 09 21:23:04 * Morgan nods Sep 09 21:23:22 It was but I figured we'd be going straight to the Rosenkrantz home Sep 09 21:24:25 Perhaps that old church where we sort of made love on the altar? Sep 09 21:25:29 * Morgan shrugs Sep 09 21:25:31 Perhaps Sep 09 21:32:45 He wasn't difficult about the magic in those dreams Sep 09 21:34:29 That was in dreams... Sep 09 21:36:36 It's poor intelligence, but it shows it's possible Sep 09 21:39:15 * Morgan sighs Sep 09 21:39:17 I suppose Sep 09 21:39:53 If something has to happen to keep us safe, then that is what has to happen Sep 09 21:41:08 * Morgan sighs Sep 09 21:41:09 Alright Sep 09 21:42:41 * Molly nods Sep 09 21:43:08 You aren't alone in this, my love, Heinzharold and I can help Sep 09 21:44:49 I don't want to put him in that position. Or you. Sep 09 21:45:53 This destiny is ours together. We face it all together. And you would do the same for Heinzharold Sep 09 21:46:43 Of course I would Sep 09 21:48:58 Well then, you ought to accept his aid Sep 09 21:49:41 * Morgan shrugs Sep 09 21:50:35 * Molly kisses his cheek Sep 09 21:51:06 We won't stay long, just a couple of days at most Sep 09 21:51:39 * Morgan nods, sighing Sep 09 21:51:40 Alright Sep 09 21:53:19 So for now, you needn't worry. We'll get help from the Nibelungen, and will work together Sep 09 21:54:58 alright Sep 09 21:55:32 * Molly smiles Sep 09 21:55:40 What was next? Sep 09 21:55:59 Edward and Mina Sep 09 21:56:22 You'll speak to him tomorrow to hear how things are? Sep 09 21:56:28 * Morgan nods Sep 09 21:58:46 I've already spoken with her, so she knows our opinions. There isn't much more we can do, the same as with any other married couple. They have to find their own way Sep 09 21:59:09 I was more thinking about them conceiving... Sep 09 22:00:38 * Molly nods Sep 09 22:00:58 Perhaps the Nibelungen can give us some insight there? Sep 09 22:01:13 We'll see. Then there's Florrie... Sep 09 22:02:55 Yes? Sep 09 22:03:10 I'm worried about how it will go Sep 09 22:04:39 That she might not love him? Sep 09 22:05:01 What if it doesn't go well... how heartbroken will he be... Sep 09 22:05:12 What if it does but then he has to say goodbye Sep 09 22:07:58 If it doesn't go well, he will accept it and persevere. He is tenacious, and he loves her. He won't stop that because she doesn't take to him instantly. As to saying goodbye, sadly that is how it it. Mina will not accept them living with her and Edward Sep 09 22:09:13 No... she wont Sep 09 22:10:44 * Molly nods, chewing her lip Sep 09 22:11:12 It's complicated for her, and I can understand her finding Alice living with them very difficult Sep 09 22:12:04 * Morgan nods Sep 09 22:13:16 Also, I think Alice likes Morgan's Rock Sep 09 22:13:52 * Morgan nods Sep 09 22:13:55 I get that impression Sep 09 22:14:33 It's practical for her to be near a dock, which Graben really isn't Sep 09 22:15:53 I noticed that Sep 09 22:16:39 Mmhmm, perceptive, aren't you? Sep 09 22:17:30 * Morgan nods Sep 09 22:17:34 Yes, I can be Sep 09 22:18:04 * Molly nods Sep 09 22:18:14 Your sketchbook attests to that Sep 09 22:19:45 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 09 22:23:33 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
