**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Sep 21 13:41:24 2023 Sep 21 13:41:24 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Sep 21 14:29:10 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Sep 21 14:30:48 * MollyK is very peaceful as she sleeps. With them sailing out, Heinzharold's quiet hour is probably being spoilt by Inga throwing up as usual. No one interrupts them Sep 21 14:32:04 * Morgan spends the time doodling idly Sep 21 14:32:34 * MollyK wakes, looking around Sep 21 14:32:41 Was that Emil? Sep 21 14:32:49 * Morgan listens Sep 21 14:33:04 *theres nothing except the waves* Sep 21 14:33:11 No love, all quiet Sep 21 14:33:28 * MollyK nods, stretching Sep 21 14:33:40 I'm sorry if you wanted to... Sep 21 14:33:51 No love, you clearly needed the rest Sep 21 14:34:11 Maybe later then? I have missed you Sep 21 14:34:45 * Morgan nods Sep 21 14:34:48 Aye, maybe love Sep 21 14:34:58 * MollyK watches him Sep 21 14:35:15 Is something wrong between us? Sep 21 14:35:54 No my love, not at all Sep 21 14:35:59 * MollyK nods Sep 21 14:36:15 Alright. Do you want to talk about Mina now? Sep 21 14:36:51 If you wish to love... though... let me get some decent coffee first Sep 21 14:40:57 * MollyK nods, smiling Sep 21 14:41:05 Home Sweet Home, hmm? Sep 21 14:42:25 * Morgan shrugs Sep 21 14:42:29 You've always felt that about the Rose Sep 21 14:46:12 * MollyK nods, smiling Sep 21 14:47:01 Yes, I have. Because finally, I had somewhere that was -mine- Sep 21 14:47:58 * Morgan nods Sep 21 14:50:11 * MollyK smiles Sep 21 14:50:36 We haven't really settled anywhere else. We come back to her over and over Sep 21 14:50:58 * Morgan nods Sep 21 14:51:08 I wonder if that will be an issue with settling in Hafenlohr... Sep 21 14:52:45 That we'll want to be back here? Sep 21 14:52:59 * Morgan nods Sep 21 14:56:00 Are you regretting buying an estate? Sep 21 14:56:47 It doesn't feel like home yet... and estate or otherwise, I can't sail forever Sep 21 14:59:01 * MollyK nods Sep 21 14:59:17 Not if you want to be Graf, or a present husband and father Sep 21 14:59:47 And... I always thought eventually I'd end up in Sudlachenburg... I haven't quite come to terms with the fact thats not the case Sep 21 15:01:07 * MollyK nods Sep 21 15:01:20 I am trying not to blame myself for that sadness Sep 21 15:01:35 * Morgan shakes his head Sep 21 15:02:01 I made the play for Gottkirchen... I can see the sense in it being where we are long term. Sep 21 15:03:16 I know, but it's a step even further from giving you a happy, idealised life again Sep 21 15:04:04 Perhaps once things are more settled, I'll have time to deal with it Sep 21 15:09:10 * MollyK nods Sep 21 15:09:30 Perhaps you will fall in love with Hafenlohr as you fell in love with me Sep 21 15:09:45 I hope so Sep 21 15:11:20 * MollyK nods Sep 21 15:12:10 We don't have to commit to staying forever, my love. We could live in Sudlachenburg and have Hafenlohr for when we wish to be in Gottkirchen for events and things Sep 21 15:13:51 Gottkirchen is more central for access to the rest of the koenigsreich Sep 21 15:18:38 Yes, but we can have an excellent overseer, and you can spend a couple of days a week there? Sep 21 15:18:55 * Morgan nods Sep 21 15:18:57 perhaps Sep 21 15:21:35 Get your coffee, my love, I'm not going anywhere Sep 21 15:22:18 * Morgan nods, heading to the galley to get coffee Sep 21 15:23:49 *he meets HH and Inga coming down the stairs giggling* Sep 21 15:25:43 Thrown up already? Sep 21 15:26:41 HH: Always does Sep 21 15:27:10 * Morgan nods Sep 21 15:27:59 Seven sailing days Sep 21 15:28:57 HH: she'll puke out of Insel, an' maybe on the ferry Sep 21 15:30:34 * Morgan nods Sep 21 15:30:36 No doubt Sep 21 15:31:51 I: I can't help it Sep 21 15:32:00 * Morgan nods Sep 21 15:32:11 Oh I know. Can't imagine you'd do it on purpose Sep 21 15:32:27 *HH grins* a fragile, delicate flower is this one Sep 21 15:35:19 *Inga blushes* Heinzharold! Sep 21 15:35:44 * Morgan chuckles Sep 21 15:35:53 I'm going for some coffee that doesn't taste like mud Sep 21 15:37:38 *they nod, going back towards their room* Sep 21 15:38:26 * Morgan carries on Sep 21 15:39:35 *he gets the coffee without trouble, but the boys are up when he gets back, Molly nursing and Varick playing with Bir Sep 21 15:44:29 * Morgan sits down, sipping the coffee with obvious enjoyment Sep 21 15:45:40 * MollyK smiles, holding Emil's hand Sep 21 15:45:46 Better, liebling? Sep 21 15:47:54 * Morgan nods, smiling Sep 21 15:47:57 Oh yes Sep 21 15:50:15 * MollyK looks pleased Sep 21 15:50:32 Good. There's nothing as good as Eisen coffee, hmm? Sep 21 15:51:25 I happen to believe this is the best coffee anywhere... Edward disagrees... Sep 21 15:52:03 * MollyK nods, gazing at the baby Sep 21 15:52:43 Your Uncle Edward is very fastidious, little lamb Sep 21 15:53:07 V: *he looks to Morgan* why does Mama call us animal names? Sep 21 15:53:27 D'you know, I've no idea Sep 21 15:55:23 * MollyK smiles "There was a lady in Tawstock who used to call my sister and I animal diminutives" Sep 21 15:56:02 V: what did she call you? Sep 21 15:57:08 * MollyK smiles faintly "ah, well..." Sep 21 15:57:41 * Morgan watches her, sipping his coffee Sep 21 16:01:42 She was distantly Montaigne, so sometimes she'd say it in either language. Cess was called La Petite Ecureuil *he knows this is Squirrel* Sep 21 16:02:08 squirrel... Sep 21 16:02:22 *Varick laughs* little squirrel!! Sep 21 16:02:39 * MollyK smiles, nodding slowly "mmhmm, indeed..." Sep 21 16:03:41 V: Did she have hair like Grandma? Sep 21 16:04:22 * MollyK nods "gingery, yes. That's where it came from" Sep 21 16:05:03 What did she call you? Sep 21 16:06:43 * MollyK smiles ruefully "La Petite Renarde" *it means little vixen* Sep 21 16:06:54 [apt] Sep 21 16:07:17 [oh? Is it?] Sep 21 16:07:26 * Morgan nods slightly Sep 21 16:07:32 V: foxes can be red Sep 21 16:08:19 * MollyK nods "perhaps if we have a daughter with ginger or red hair, they can be little squirrel or little vixen" Sep 21 16:08:40 * Morgan nods Sep 21 16:08:52 That sounds... right. Sep 21 16:09:34 * MollyK nods Sep 21 16:09:46 V: what about for boys? Sep 21 16:10:09 * MollyK smiles "I think we'll have to wait and see what fits" Sep 21 16:12:16 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 21 16:15:50 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Sep 21 19:04:54 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Sep 21 19:05:19 * MorganK (~madisonst@192.168.1.209) has joined Sep 21 19:08:00 *Varick is still suggesting nicknames occassionally when he and Emil have been joined in play by Florrie, the adults there too. Sep 21 19:08:05 * MollyK is now known as HH Sep 21 19:08:34 * HH speaks quietly "how you all doin'?" Sep 21 19:08:49 alright... why? Sep 21 19:10:38 Jus' wonderin', she said you were talkin' to King Eddie this mornin' Sep 21 19:10:48 * MorganK nods Sep 21 19:10:54 They're still having issues Sep 21 19:12:10 Not good, man Sep 21 19:12:41 I've had a chat with Mina. Sep 21 19:13:24 * HH glances round Sep 21 19:13:38 Still got tha' would work to get on with? Sep 21 19:14:35 I could do with checking it over Sep 21 19:19:49 * HH goes with him after kissing Inga with a smile, and heads to the hold Sep 21 19:20:05 Better not let Alice hear it Sep 21 19:20:16 Don't want her feeling bad about it Sep 21 19:20:58 Nope. *he finds a place to perch* Sep 21 19:21:28 * MorganK runs his hand over the varnished wood Sep 21 19:21:47 Its a difficult situation Sep 21 19:25:10 * HH looks over the furniture with a nod and a smile Sep 21 19:25:20 What's goin' on? Sep 21 19:25:42 She is withdrawing from him. Wouldn't discuss the baptism, Florrie, Alice... Sep 21 19:25:59 Shit Sep 21 19:26:50 I decided to have a talk with her Sep 21 19:30:02 * HH nods Sep 21 19:30:08 How'd it go? Sep 21 19:30:44 She did that completely formal thing she does to keep people at a distance... Sep 21 19:32:04 * HH nods "must be a really un'appy lassie" Sep 21 19:32:22 * MorganK nods Sep 21 19:32:39 She figured I was gonna' berate her like Molly did which, if I'm honest, was my plan Sep 21 19:32:48 * HH chuckles Sep 21 19:33:01 'Cept you can't resist a sad lady Sep 21 19:33:56 I can but... it didn't sit right, she didn't have the look of someone being awkward or cruel to punish someone Sep 21 19:35:39 Doesn' seem like her Sep 21 19:36:03 No... and it isn't. She's still hurting over Alice but... more than that, she's scared man Sep 21 19:36:53 Of him goin' off with Alice? Sep 21 19:37:26 partly. How he'll feel when he sees them. If he'll want to move them close by... if Mina can't give him children... Sep 21 19:37:45 She didn't want to burden him with her fears about the last... hence withdrawing Sep 21 19:39:39 * HH nods slowly "yeah... makes sense..." Sep 21 19:39:49 * MorganK nods Sep 21 19:39:58 I've all but begged her to be open with him about it Sep 21 19:42:17 * HH nods Sep 21 19:42:36 'E needs to start by setting some things in stone Sep 21 19:42:45 Such as? Sep 21 19:43:13 Tellin' her that he is not going to ask them to live nearby Sep 21 19:43:50 I'm not entirely sure he wouldn't... though I think he'd see the sense in them being close-er- but not close. Sep 21 19:44:30 But it's not about what 'e wants, is it? His wife needs t' know she's safe, an' that there's no threat Sep 21 19:44:48 * MorganK nods Sep 21 19:44:57 No, you're right Sep 21 19:45:02 * HH nods Sep 21 19:45:40 He's gotta be willin' to make some compromises too, she's already compromised t' come to the baptism which means meetin' them Sep 21 19:45:51 * MorganK nods Sep 21 19:45:54 aye Sep 21 19:47:43 I get he's gon' want Florrie with him, but it sounds like his wife is sufferin' Sep 21 19:47:58 * MorganK nods Sep 21 19:48:09 I don't think he realises how much... I'm not sure any of us did Sep 21 19:49:54 * HH nods Sep 21 19:51:14 Sounds like Edward needs to put in a bit o' time to let her know she's a priority still, not just Florrie Sep 21 19:51:25 * MorganK nods Sep 21 19:51:31 I wonder if he'll see a note before he leaves Sep 21 19:52:04 Mebbie? Sep 21 19:52:38 Worth a shot I think Sep 21 19:54:08 * HH nods Sep 21 19:54:29 Tell 'er upstairs t' do it? Be quicker that way Sep 21 19:54:43 Anything else you'd recommend? Sep 21 19:54:56 [I need you to leave a note on Edwards mirror] Sep 21 19:55:08 [alright, my love] Sep 21 19:55:43 Reassure her, spend quality time with 'er, and try to focus on them as a couple more Sep 21 19:56:48 [He needs to reassure Mina, spent quality time with her, focus on them as a couple. He needs to make it known he isn't going to ask Alice to move nearby with Florrie. ] Sep 21 19:56:51 * MorganK nods slowly Sep 21 19:58:15 He's gotta remember that he can't go rushin' headlong into Florrie and leaving Mina b'hind. She was his special girl first, and she's hitched her wagon to him. She's gotta know he isn't gonna bolt Sep 21 19:58:32 * MorganK nods Sep 21 19:59:06 [He needs to make it known to her that he isn't going to leave her, no matter what. As HeinzHarold just said, she was his special girl first, he can't leave her behind while rushing headlong into Florrie] Sep 21 19:59:28 [I'll do that] Sep 21 19:59:38 Alright, Molly's going to write it Sep 21 20:00:07 * HH shrugs "just how I see it. Not an expert in marriage, o'course" Sep 21 20:00:41 * MorganK shrugs Sep 21 20:00:45 I'd trust that advice Sep 21 20:02:20 It's prob'ly what Da woulda said Sep 21 20:02:29 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:02:35 Most likely. Sounds about right Sep 21 20:03:35 * HH nods Sep 21 20:04:00 Hope they can sort it, man. She really scared about being barren? Sep 21 20:04:33 Terrified I think. Says if she is, then its Theus' will but... I recognise hiding behind religious intent when I see it Sep 21 20:05:57 * HH nods Sep 21 20:06:14 Inga said they'd not caught last month... Sep 21 20:06:24 No... three months now Sep 21 20:07:03 * HH nods Sep 21 20:07:20 Yeah... but it doesn't always happen right away Sep 21 20:07:27 Thats what I said Sep 21 20:07:59 * HH nods "mebbie takin' a break from it and travellin' might help Sep 21 20:08:20 * MorganK shrugs Sep 21 20:08:33 Maybe. Molly'll know soon as they see her if there's something amiss Sep 21 20:09:37 * HH nods Sep 21 20:09:49 She can check all tha', can she? Sep 21 20:10:25 She found the issue in Zareen's brain... she's got Elsie back to being able to be intimate... I don't see why not Sep 21 20:11:53 * HH nods Sep 21 20:11:59 Yeah... guess so Sep 21 20:12:18 We'll see I suppose Sep 21 20:12:24 * HH nods Sep 21 20:12:39 Would you have 'er check you, after three months? Sep 21 20:13:17 * MorganK shrugs Sep 21 20:13:20 She doesn't need to know Sep 21 20:13:31 Who? Sep 21 20:13:37 Mina Sep 21 20:14:28 Hang on, I'm sayin' would you have Molly check you if you had been at it three months an' with no date set in stone like you got? Sep 21 20:14:52 I don't know. Probably. Sep 21 20:16:24 * HH nods Sep 21 20:16:31 Be pretty crushin' Sep 21 20:16:42 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:16:44 Yes, it would Sep 21 20:17:07 Least you know it's gon' happen Sep 21 20:17:47 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:17:55 Knew it would anyway, the plate said so Sep 21 20:18:33 * HH nods Sep 21 20:19:00 Yeah... we kinda got a bit distracted from doin' that Sep 21 20:19:16 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:19:19 aye Sep 21 20:19:40 Woulda done, but Edward turning up, y' know? Sep 21 20:19:51 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:20:05 I'm sorry man... my crap always affecting you Sep 21 20:20:34 Nah, I'm not worried. Fate witch said four, we'll go with tha' Sep 21 20:20:49 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:20:54 I'm rather inclined to believe her Sep 21 20:21:02 * HH nods Sep 21 20:21:06 Yeah, same Sep 21 20:22:38 Hope it's soon f' them Sep 21 20:23:09 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:23:17 Me too. I rather think it'd make a massive difference Sep 21 20:23:30 * HH nods Sep 21 20:23:47 Reck'n so. Everything's change once she's increasing Sep 21 20:23:57 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:23:58 aye Sep 21 20:26:30 * HH smiles Sep 21 20:26:42 Then y' gon' need to make more furniture Sep 21 20:27:46 * MorganK shrugs Sep 21 20:27:48 happily Sep 21 20:28:07 * HH nods Sep 21 20:28:31 Get yerself a side-hustle. Fancy cribs and leather dicks Sep 21 20:28:49 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:28:56 I definitely need more to do Sep 21 20:29:43 More people havin' babies. Sep 21 20:29:45 ? Sep 21 20:30:12 God knows I don't have enough on my plate already Sep 21 20:30:45 * HH shrugs Sep 21 20:31:00 Gotta keep yer hands busy Sep 21 20:31:20 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:31:44 Once we're in Hafenlohr I've got plenty to do that'll keep my hands busy Sep 21 20:31:58 * HH sniggers Sep 21 20:32:04 Yeah y' do Sep 21 20:32:16 Shut up Sep 21 20:32:52 Not gon' miss doin' it with all the pitching and yoreing? Sep 21 20:33:13 I'm going to miss being at sea, yes Sep 21 20:33:23 * HH nods Sep 21 20:33:51 Might a little, but I got bigger plans now with th' house t' build Sep 21 20:34:09 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:34:23 Sailings what I wanted to do even before I was Varicks age Sep 21 20:34:33 * HH nods Sep 21 20:35:10 Reck'n mebbie you'da been happier doin' that rather than goin' home after the war? Sep 21 20:35:25 Quite possibly Sep 21 20:36:03 * HH nods Sep 21 20:36:28 Woulda been a good job f' you, going back an' forth to Capperlucia Sep 21 20:36:36 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:36:45 Aye, it would've Sep 21 20:37:50 * HH chuckles Sep 21 20:38:10 Saint Morgan o' Puritytown, and ladies dressed like in Capperlucia Sep 21 20:38:17 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:38:23 That would'e been... challenging for me Sep 21 20:38:37 Woulda been a hard life Sep 21 20:39:01 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:39:09 Wouldn't have been new Sep 21 20:39:26 Whysat? Sep 21 20:39:48 All the things we had to do during the war, wasn't like that was easy Sep 21 20:40:21 * HH nods Sep 21 20:40:31 Glad tha's all done Sep 21 20:40:42 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:42:06 Edward an' Mina settin' off now then? Sep 21 20:43:01 I'm not sure... either today or early tomorrow I'd imagine Sep 21 20:43:30 * HH nods Sep 21 20:43:59 Only a couple weeks before he's in Hafenlohr an' our girls are off t' Freiburg Sep 21 20:44:09 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:44:26 Apparently you and I should discuss with our wives how much they are allowed to spend... Sep 21 20:44:35 * HH sighs Sep 21 20:44:46 Ah man, that sounds painful Sep 21 20:44:52 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:44:57 yes... yes it does Sep 21 20:45:26 They can't wanna spend that much, right? Sep 21 20:45:34 * MorganK laughs hard Sep 21 20:45:41 You have -met- women, yes? Sep 21 20:46:51 More'an you! Sep 21 20:48:47 Inga's pretty sensible, she's not gonna buy stuff she don't need Sep 21 20:49:12 She'll need dresses Sep 21 20:49:33 A couple, yeah, but we don't do a lotta hosting Sep 21 20:50:01 No, but she's Molly's best friend and we -do- have to do a. Lot of hosting. And what if she sees something for the house? Sep 21 20:50:26 * HH nods "guess I better prepare for the pain, eh?" Sep 21 20:50:33 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:50:35 definitely Sep 21 20:50:43 Molly gonna be bad? Sep 21 20:50:51 More than likely Sep 21 20:51:09 * HH nods Sep 21 20:51:29 Mebbie I should go with 'em, rein 'em in a bit Sep 21 20:51:47 You'll do no such thing Sep 21 20:52:13 Why? Sep 21 20:52:28 You're not going to cramp their style... besides... I need you with me Sep 21 20:52:40 Nah y' dont Sep 21 20:53:11 Yes I do. I'm going to need your help with Varick while I get things sorted with Edward and Florrie to start off Sep 21 20:53:29 * HH nods Sep 21 20:53:33 Guess so Sep 21 20:53:54 * MorganK smiles Sep 21 20:54:21 Hopefully I can get them started then just... let them to it Sep 21 20:54:28 * HH nods Sep 21 20:54:43 Yeah. Girls takin' a mirror? Sep 21 20:54:57 I would think so. It'd make things easier. Sep 21 20:55:04 * HH nods Sep 21 20:55:16 Means we can make sure they're okay an' 'appy Sep 21 20:55:23 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:55:25 precisely Sep 21 20:55:38 Not used t' lettin' her go off Sep 21 20:56:16 Bit nerve wracking aint it Sep 21 20:56:35 Yeah. Very, ackshully. You feel it too? Sep 21 20:56:57 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:57:28 Of course. Molly won't let anything happen to her Sep 21 20:57:48 Yeah, I know. Just overprotective Sep 21 20:58:27 I know man. Me too. Sep 21 20:58:45 Big city, can be rough Sep 21 20:58:55 * MorganK nods Sep 21 20:59:04 If you go along, it'll look like you don't trust them Sep 21 20:59:22 It's not them, man. It's all the people around 'em Sep 21 20:59:49 -I- know that. But thats how they'll see it.
