Sep 27 20:39:43 if they were to become pregnant this month, it is possible, just. Sep 27 20:39:57 * Morgan nods slowly Sep 27 20:40:01 Oh, yes... I see Sep 27 20:40:32 we might have to be in Graben for Prophets mass again Sep 27 20:41:45 That'd be tolerable Sep 27 20:42:20 it’d be worth it Sep 27 20:42:24 * Morgan nods Sep 27 20:42:26 Yes indeed Sep 27 20:44:17 * Molly smiles, getting up and coming to them Sep 27 20:44:24 this must make you broody Sep 27 20:44:35 * Morgan nods Sep 27 20:44:39 It does rather Sep 27 20:46:44 * Molly nods Sep 27 20:46:54 I find it always does when they sleep Sep 27 20:47:31 * Morgan chuckles quietly Sep 27 20:47:36 Put you off the rest of the time? Sep 27 20:48:46 * Molly shakes her head “no, it’s a chronic condition, I’m afraid” Sep 27 20:50:28 * Morgan nods Sep 27 20:50:30 tragic Sep 27 20:50:36 * Molly nods Sep 27 20:51:00 I am receiving treatment quite frequently, but so far I have not been cured Sep 27 20:52:04 * Morgan looks sad briefly, nodding Sep 27 20:52:05 Aye Sep 27 20:52:46 * Molly reassuringly touches his arm “it will happen when it is time for the right child for us” Sep 27 20:53:44 * Morgan nods Sep 27 20:53:51 Aye, I suppose so Sep 27 20:54:05 I wonder if Edward got our message Sep 27 20:54:17 shall I check?

Sep 27 21:16:28 to a degree, yes Sep 27 21:16:56 To a degree? Sep 27 21:17:18 I will be indisposed, which is generally not to my liking Sep 27 21:17:36 No... but in this instance its better than being all sparkly Sep 27 21:17:42 * Molly nods Sep 27 21:18:03 let us not make him any more muddled than he needs to be Sep 27 21:18:35 indeed Sep 27 21:20:27 and you, as minimally distracted as possible too? Sep 27 21:21:19 It'd be... useful in this instance Sep 27 21:21:30 * Molly nods Sep 27 21:21:39 you have important things to do Sep 27 21:21:52 * Morgan nods Sep 27 21:24:36 we will proceed directly, no stop for... entertainments like Jura in Londinium? Sep 27 21:25:32 * Morgan scratches his chin Sep 27 21:25:41 The only thing is... your mothers sister is in Londinium Sep 27 21:27:15 * Molly nods Sep 27 21:27:31 And I do want to go home as soon as we can Sep 27 21:28:04 * Morgan nods Sep 27 21:29:50 Inga and Heinzharold might wish to stop somewhere like that though Sep 27 21:30:32 We can't do both... either we stop or we don't... Sep 27 21:30:43 * Molly nods Sep 27 21:31:05 I know... would you wish to? Sep 27 21:31:30 * Morgan shrugs Sep 27 21:31:40 I'd be interested in finding your aunt... Sep 27 21:32:06 * Molly smiles Sep 27 21:32:14 but not for the other, hmm? Sep 27 21:32:48 * Morgan shrugs Sep 27 21:34:13 perhaps something to think on? it sets us back a night Sep 27 21:34:22 * Morgan nods, pulling a face Sep 27 21:34:51 * Molly nods Sep 27 21:34:55 I know Sep 27 21:35:45 * Morgan sighs Sep 27 21:35:49 I'll have to think about it Sep 27 21:36:04 * Molly nods, smiling Sep 27 21:36:39 I’ll think about the bit in the you-know-where primarily, I think Sep 27 21:36:48 * Morgan nods Sep 27 21:36:50 Alright love Sep 27 21:39:58 *he gets some time to consider it during the rest of the day, playing with the children and helping Varick with some more complex reading. As is common, Florrie wants to go to sleep in Varick’s bed, so he has to carry her over to Alice’s room. They all eat together, HH talking about Sudlachenburg and what might have changed there Sep 27 21:40:17 [will you tell them about Hildegarde?] Sep 27 21:41:18 [I don't wish to upset them.] Sep 27 21:41:46 [yes... alright, my love] Sep 27 21:42:31 [You think I should?] Sep 27 21:44:04 [they will no doubt know the moment Emmeline writes to him...] Sep 27 21:46:00 * Morgan sighs quietly, catching HeinzHarolds eye Sep 27 21:46:05 $Need to talk to you$ Sep 27 21:46:26 HH: $many do, I’m just that popular$ Sep 27 21:47:01 * Morgan frowns slightly Sep 27 21:48:01 *HH stands up* I’m gonn’ go see if I can find some better whiskey Sep 27 21:48:31 I'll join you. Don't want you pilfering my good stuff Sep 27 21:49:39 *the others laugh when HH protests that the thought never crossed his mind* Sep 27 21:49:55 * Morgan nods, getting up Sep 27 21:50:35 * Molly is now known as HH Sep 27 21:50:58 * HH heads into the hall Sep 27 21:51:21 alright, what -are- we gonn’ find to drink? Sep 27 21:51:37 I've got some vodka... Sep 27 21:51:59 Or drambui... keep that fairly well stocked Sep 27 21:52:02 * HH nods Sep 27 21:52:15 that’ll do. what’s on yer noggin’? Sep 27 21:52:50 Got some news. You deserve to know, but figured you'd want to decide whether or not to tell Inga Sep 27 21:53:27 * HH grins “you’re expectin!” Sep 27 21:53:43 No, no... it isn't time yet. Sit down man Sep 27 21:53:52 * HH does so Sep 27 21:55:25 I'm sorry... Hildegarde is pregnant Sep 27 21:55:41 * HH nods slowly Sep 27 21:55:57 okay... he jumped the gun a bit? Sep 27 21:56:18 * Morgan shrugs Sep 27 21:56:23 Haven't given that much thought Sep 27 21:57:11 * HH nods Sep 27 21:57:31 all goin’ well? Sep 27 21:57:59 Apparently so Sep 27 21:58:43 * HH nods Sep 27 21:58:53 know when she’s due? Sep 27 21:59:43 summertime Sep 27 21:59:53 * HH nods Sep 27 22:00:09 ‘append quick then Sep 27 22:00:16 * Morgan nods Sep 27 22:00:20 Must've, aye Sep 27 22:00:26 * HH nods Sep 27 22:00:56 you okay ‘bout it? Sep 27 22:01:23 * Morgan shrugs Sep 27 22:01:53 Not our time yet... still a bit... not suspicious of him, but the trust I had in him is not restored by any means Sep 27 22:02:02 * HH nods Sep 27 22:02:17 more protective b’cause she’s kin? Sep 27 22:03:16 aye... Sep 27 22:04:11 * HH nods Sep 27 22:05:02 they’re married, he’s gotta good job.

Sep 27 22:07:05 It isn't fair Sep 27 22:07:15 what isn’t? Sep 27 22:08:23 Him having a child before you... I figured you'd be angry. Sep 27 22:09:20 * HH shrugs “Don’t care enough about him f’ that. Inga’s doing well, god knows she ain’t afraid to tell me what she wants in bed!” Sep 27 22:09:31 * Morgan nods Sep 27 22:09:34 Alright then Sep 27 22:09:55 feelin’ jealous yerself? Sep 27 22:10:26 Not really. Envious, perhaps, but not jealous. Sep 27 22:10:52 what’s th’ difference? Sep 27 22:14:00 Envy is wanting what someone else has... jealousy is... rivalry, wanting what they have -instead- of them having it, not as well. Sep 27 22:14:11 * HH nods Sep 27 22:14:16 yeah, I get it Sep 27 22:14:50 There's a resentment... I don't have that, not... not for this anyway Sep 27 22:15:28 * HH watches him “for summat else then?” Sep 27 22:15:49 Oh god yeah. I resent him for the way he treated Inga... for the way he betrayed my trust. Sep 27 22:16:05 * HH nods Sep 27 22:16:15 Not for him and Hildegarde then? Sep 27 22:17:18 I will admit nagging feeling of thinking he should keep out of my family, but thats a protective thing given his actions Sep 27 22:17:28 * HH nods Sep 27 22:17:42 Inga said Molly had a nightmare about you pair ages ago Sep 27 22:18:29 Me and Hildegarde? Sep 27 22:18:54 * HH nods Sep 27 22:19:00 Aye, she did Sep 27 22:19:22 interrupted their weddin’ b’cause you’d been havin’ an affair Sep 27 22:19:38 One of her weirder ones Sep 27 22:20:00 * HH nods Sep 27 22:20:39 she’s got Dietlinde’s eyes for sure Sep 27 22:21:10 * Morgan nods Sep 27 22:21:12 Yes, she has Sep 27 22:21:35 prob’ly just some envy on Molly’s part Sep 27 22:22:12 I'd reckon so, frankly Sep 27 22:22:19 * HH nods Sep 27 22:22:27 tha’s women for ya Sep 27 22:23:24 * Morgan nods Sep 27 22:23:27 Weird, the lot of them Sep 27 22:23:47 yeah.

Sep 27 22:24:28 * Morgan nods Sep 27 22:24:32 Yes, of course Sep 27 22:25:50 * HH nods Sep 27 22:25:55 she’ll be okay Sep 27 22:26:08 * Morgan nods Sep 27 22:26:12 She's a strong lass Sep 27 22:26:21 * HH nods Sep 27 22:26:33 yeah she is Sep 27 22:28:11 * Morgan nods, removing a small piece of wood and pulling out a bottle Sep 27 22:28:21 Kvarg, apparently... Sep 27 22:28:32 your special hole, is it? Sep 27 22:28:44 No, Molly's got that Sep 27 22:28:55 * Morgan stops, staring into the distance Sep 27 22:28:59 * HH starts laughing hard Sep 27 22:29:03 The fuck did that come from Sep 27 22:29:06 fuckin’ ‘ell! Sep 27 22:29:22 an gener’ly from her parents Sep 27 22:30:01 indeed.... -anyway-... there's little cubby holes all over the ship, most of them have some drink or another in them Sep 27 22:30:48 * HH nods Sep 27 22:30:55 hidin’ it from th’ crew? Sep 27 22:32:08 No, if I was doing that it'd be locked away. They're good, they're not going to get hammered before they work Sep 27 22:35:39 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 27 22:35:43 * HH has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
