Nov 10 08:01:49 *Alice nods* I’d like that Nov 10 08:01:58 * Morgan nods Nov 10 08:02:04 Later, perhaps? Nov 10 08:03:46 *Alice nods. Varick and Florrie open the corner door* Nov 10 08:04:01 V: Vati! there’s another toilet! Nov 10 08:04:12 That useful Nov 10 08:04:22 * HH grins Nov 10 08:04:46 you know a man choose this room as the games room Nov 10 08:05:01 * Morgan nods, moving to look at the drinks cabinet Nov 10 08:05:24 *there’s nothing particularly expensive there* Nov 10 08:06:12 * Morgan takes a moment to sniff a few drinks before standing back up Nov 10 08:07:08 alright... according to the plans... out there *he points to the door* there's a door to the outside, and a... a -second- drawing room... Nov 10 08:09:22 I know you like sketching, but ‘ow much space do you need for that?! Nov 10 08:10:11 * Morgan looks at the plan Nov 10 08:10:29 Huh... and then upstairs... there's an art room to put the stuff you've drawn in either of the drawing rooms... Nov 10 08:11:16 * HH grins “you can even snooze in there, it’s gotta nice chaise, I had a peak earlier” Nov 10 08:12:11 * Morgan nods, moving out of the room and across the hall to the second drawing room Nov 10 08:12:28 *they all follow along, except Alice and Florrie* Nov 10 08:12:58 * Morgan looks to HeinzHarold Nov 10 08:13:03 $They alright?$ Nov 10 08:13:25 $florrie needed to pee$ Nov 10 08:14:13 *The second drawing room appears to be a feminine counterpart to the games room, all cosy and frilly, smaller than the general drawing room* Nov 10 08:15:11 girly... Nov 10 08:16:44 $I feel my balls getting smaller just being in here$ Nov 10 08:17:14 * Morgan nods slightly, wandering through to the main drawing room, leaving the door open Nov 10 08:19:35 *It’s not as stunning in the morning, but he can see the lawn and the lake* Nov 10 08:19:50 This room is gorgeous in the evening light Nov 10 08:21:35 * HH nods Nov 10 08:22:04 Someone oviously out a lot of thought into it when they built it Nov 10 08:22:11 * Morgan nods Nov 10 08:22:14 definitely Nov 10 08:22:30 * Morgan wanders around the room, looking things over Nov 10 08:24:53 *not much remains of the former owners, there’s a lot of space to put their own personal touches Nov 10 08:26:04 * Morgan nods slowly to himself Nov 10 08:27:56 it’s a good room, man Nov 10 08:28:33 * Morgan nods Nov 10 08:28:36 Yeah... it is Nov 10 08:29:49 what’s the big bit in the middle?

Nov 10 08:35:45 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 10 08:35:50 No idea, yet Nov 10 08:37:30 * HH nods Nov 10 08:37:44 Molly’ll probably tell ya Nov 10 08:37:53 I imagine so Nov 10 08:58:47 * HH smiles Nov 10 08:59:00 The ladies always seem to know what they want Nov 10 08:59:09 * Morgan nods Nov 10 08:59:14 It does seem that way, yes Nov 10 08:59:47 they spent quite a bit of time on the way home from Capperlucia talking bout it Nov 10 09:00:33 * Morgan nods Nov 10 09:00:50 I'm not terribly surprised Nov 10 09:02:32 * HH nods, watching Inga with the three children, smiling “yeah.building their lil nests” Nov 10 09:02:43 * Morgan nods Nov 10 09:04:48 workmen reckon mid June for a really thorough job Nov 10 09:04:57 * Morgan nods Nov 10 09:05:03 Longer than we'd like, I know Nov 10 09:05:37 *It’s presently April 8th* Nov 10 09:06:12 We8d get outta your hair sooner, but I’d rather it stands the test of time Nov 10 09:06:26 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 10 09:06:45 You're not in our hair... this place is big enough we could go days without seeing eachother Nov 10 09:06:51 * HH nods Nov 10 09:07:07 yeah, we’re right outta the way down in that corner Nov 10 09:07:46 * Morgan nods, going to the door into the court yard and poking his head out Nov 10 09:08:56 *it’s not massive, about twenty by twenty feet. Good enough for two people to train though Nov 10 09:09:17 * Morgan nods, looking around Nov 10 09:09:21 Thats not bad Nov 10 09:11:53 HH: we can work with it, good for drizzly days an close combat Nov 10 09:11:59 * Morgan nods Nov 10 09:12:00 Agreed Nov 10 09:12:12 you gonn get Molly training again? Nov 10 09:12:36 * Morgan nods Nov 10 09:12:44 I think so, yes... Nov 10 09:13:21 Until the Autumn, anyway? Nov 10 09:13:30 * Morgan nods Nov 10 09:13:36 Yeah, exactly Nov 10 09:13:45 * HH watches his wife again Nov 10 09:13:54 makes ya really protective Nov 10 09:14:23 * Morgan nods Nov 10 09:14:30 Yeah, it does Nov 10 09:16:01 Still not feeling too easy bout letting her go Nov 10 09:16:24 I know man. She'll be safe. Nov 10 09:16:38 * HH nods Nov 10 09:17:03 Safer with Molly than with me. it’s hard t’ admit Nov 10 09:17:16 Different sort of safe, thats all Nov 10 09:18:03 * HH nods Nov 10 09:18:08 how you feeling about it?

Nov 10 09:25:02 partly... partly I just worry about her being away Nov 10 09:26:25 * HH nods Nov 10 09:26:37 think thy”re going for a week? Nov 10 09:26:52 * Morgan nods Nov 10 09:26:57 About that, aye Nov 10 09:28:12 * HH nods “gonna work hard on th’ house then” Nov 10 09:29:04 Take your mind off it... Nov 10 09:30:39 yep Nov 10 09:30:51 * Morgan nods Nov 10 09:30:59 I imagine I will be busy supporting Edward Nov 10 09:31:33 * HH nods Nov 10 09:31:45 only got Varick, not Emil, yeah? Nov 10 09:32:12 * Morgan nods Nov 10 09:32:12 Yeah Nov 10 09:32:46 * HH smirks $otherwise yer wife’s bubbies would pop!$ Nov 10 09:33:39 $She'd probably just magic it, but... yeah that too$ Nov 10 09:34:02 * HH nods Nov 10 09:34:12 how you feel about going tomorrow? Nov 10 09:34:44 * Morgan sighs Nov 10 09:34:48 I'm not looking forward to it Nov 10 09:35:07 got lots to sort out Nov 10 09:35:42 * Morgan nods Nov 10 09:35:51 Yeah... I'm worried about it Nov 10 09:37:36 * HH nods Nov 10 09:37:46 unnstandable, man Nov 10 09:38:37 * Morgan nods Nov 10 09:38:45 Yeah... Nov 10 09:39:13 got Claudia though Nov 10 09:39:32 Not sure she'll be much help... Nov 10 09:40:58 bit busy? Nov 10 09:41:08 Preoccupied, yeah... Nov 10 09:42:26 * HH nods, smiling Nov 10 09:42:45 we’ve all been there Nov 10 09:43:16 * Morgan nods Nov 10 09:43:19 Yeah, we have Nov 10 09:44:41 * HH chuckles Nov 10 09:44:48 still am most of the time Nov 10 09:46:25 * Morgan nods Nov 10 09:46:35 Yeah, can't really argue with that Nov 10 09:46:48 * HH pats his shoulder Nov 10 09:46:56 right, what’s next then Nov 10 09:47:21 * Morgan looks at the map Nov 10 09:47:52 Know the dining and breakfast rooms... there's a second morning room... and theres' an art room and... one or two bedrooms upstairs Nov 10 09:51:00 * HH nods. when they pass the first morning room, he can faintly hear Molly’s meeting in progress “...for the bedrooms, yes, lavender. I like most scents. But no lily of the valley please, it was my husband’s late wife’s perfume, and I don’t like to catch him by surprise with it” Nov 10 09:51:47 * Morgan sighs quietly, opening the door of the second morning room Nov 10 09:54:45 *The room is again quite plain and neutral, but has a good table for working on, and some chairs by the unlit fire. Emil must somehow know where Molly is because he says “Mama” Nov 10 09:55:17 * Morgan smiles, moving to stroke the boys head Nov 10 09:55:27 In a little while little lamb. Nov 10 09:57:41 *Emil starts to fuss, reaching for Morgan* Nov 10 09:58:00 V: Mama said I might have to have lessons here Nov 10 09:58:17 * Morgan nods, taking Emil Nov 10 09:58:44 Yes, I think so... my office is next door, so you'll be nearby not hidden away in the nursery Nov 10 09:59:04 * HH is now known as Varick Nov 10 09:59:26 I didn’t do lessons on the ship and I’m still clever. I don’t need lessons. Nov 10 10:00:50 Yes you do. Lessons aren't about being clever Nov 10 10:02:59 I just want to play in my new home Nov 10 10:04:07 There'll be time for that too, I promise Nov 10 10:04:47 * Varick sighs Nov 10 10:04:57 when do I have to have a tutor? Nov 10 10:05:13 *Emil is getting more grizzly* Nov 10 10:05:52 Ah, we need to plan that out... Nov 10 10:06:01 What is it Emil? Do you want mama? Nov 10 10:07:01 *Emil starts to cry* Nov 10 10:07:58 * Morgan moves, tapping on the adjoining rooms door Nov 10 10:09:16 *Molly calls for him to enter* Nov 10 10:10:00 * Morgan wanders in Nov 10 10:10:08 * Varick is now known as Molly Nov 10 10:10:09 It seems someone wants his mama Nov 10 10:11:07 * Molly and Frau Arendt look quite cosy, sat in chairs by the fire. Molly seems to have a set of notes she’s been making, which she puts down to take the baby Nov 10 10:11:34 Are you hungry, little lamb? *she looks to Morgan* has he been very active? Nov 10 10:12:00 Crawling around the long gallery... Nov 10 10:13:38 * Molly smiles, Emil pulling at her fichu Nov 10 10:14:03 That will be why. I will keep him a while if you are still looking around? Nov 10 10:14:15 Just a couple of rooms left... Nov 10 10:14:47 * Molly starts undoing her dress “You have done upstairs already?” Nov 10 10:16:10 No, not yet but... bedrooms a bedroom isn't it Nov 10 10:18:26 * Molly nods “You’ll see the nursery though?” Nov 10 10:18:31 * Morgan nods Nov 10 10:18:35 Aye, we'll have a look Nov 10 10:20:08 * Molly smiles “in a few years we’ll likely spend much time there” Nov 10 10:20:18 * Morgan nods Nov 10 10:20:35 I imagine so, yes... we'll leave you to your meeting love Nov 10 10:22:07 * Molly gets Emil latched Nov 10 10:22:29 Alright, my love Nov 10 10:22:55 * Morgan nods, leaving her to it and joining the others Nov 10 10:24:43 *he hears Frau Arendt ask* what about wet nurses, my Lady? Nov 10 10:25:51 * Morgan gently closes the door before leading the way to look in the door of his office Nov 10 10:27:00 *It’s still just as it was, but with a new desk and chair, perhaps some of his sketches on the wall, maybe even his military colours and his Academy trophies it would be nice* Nov 10 10:27:43 I'm going to have my desk shipped from the Veisgraf wing of my fathers house... Nov 10 10:28:09 * Molly is now known as HH Nov 10 10:28:27 good idea, this one looks flimsy Nov 10 10:30:20 * Morgan nods Nov 10 10:30:26 Quite... anyway... upstairs. Nov 10 10:32:07 $you speak to your wife like that?$ *he grins* Nov 10 10:32:21 [No ,with her I'm quite bossy] Nov 10 10:32:34 * Morgan looks at the music room door speculatively Nov 10 10:32:42 Lets try... this way... Nov 10 10:33:11 *The others follow behind him Nov 10 10:33:41 * Morgan goes through the music room and up the stairs, coming out in a corner bedroom Nov 10 10:34:29 *this is a nice bedroom, a good size, though not as nice as the lavender one he and Molly had when they stayed before* Nov 10 10:34:49 Not bad is it... Nov 10 10:34:50 your sorta room, man Nov 10 10:35:02 Have you seen the one we had last time we were here? Nov 10 10:35:25 Nope, didn’t get an invite to your bedroom Nov 10 10:36:32 * Morgan nods, wandering out into the corridor, looking at the plan Nov 10 10:37:51 V: you can see my bedroom, Heinzharold, it’s huge! Nov 10 10:39:20 * Morgan nods absently before moving into the art room Nov 10 10:40:59 *The chaise in the middle doesn’t look to be for sleeping, as HH suggested, but for modelling. There are many easels here, as well as shelves containing materials, and drawers. Nov 10 10:42:13 woah Nov 10 10:43:10 HH: pretty good, ain’t it? Nov 10 10:43:25 * Morgan nods, moving to nose into the drawers Nov 10 10:44:12 *Inga is watching Morgan with a faint smirk. There are a lot of drawings in here of various models, and he gets about ten drawings down before he sees one with bare breasts* Nov 10 10:45:07 * Morgan nods, closing the drawers and looking around Nov 10 10:45:45 *Inga is trying hard not to giggle* I think one of the old owners might have been an artist Nov 10 10:46:07 That is the impression I'm getting, yes... Nov 10 10:46:46 I: maybe you’d like to put some on the wall... Nov 10 10:47:07 Aye, maybe at some point... Nov 10 10:47:32 I: *she whispers* there’s lots of points to choose from in the bottom Nov 10 10:48:13 I'll look later, shall I? Nov 10 10:49:01 I: I wouldn’t do it now with the children, Alice, and James here... Nov 10 10:49:13 * Morgan nods gratefully Nov 10 10:49:24 Understood. I'll brave it later Nov 10 10:49:49 I: *she rolls her eyes a little* Heinzharold would probably like to help Nov 10 10:50:03 * Morgan chuckles Nov 10 10:50:14 Think you might be surprised love Nov 10 10:50:45 * HH nods, looking around. Varick and Florrie are trying to pull paints out Nov 10 10:51:23 Come on children, lets have a little look round then we can come back and paint Nov 10 10:56:15 *The children run out of the room, going clockwise to Heinzharold’s room. This was a room Morgan had originally considered for themselves. It’s quite plain, but still nice, and has views to the south and west, over the lawn and formal gardens which are already in bloom, before out over his woods. He can see Claudia and Uinise heading from the trees Nov 10 10:56:28 * HH is now known as Inga Nov 10 10:56:39 this is our home for the next few weeks Nov 10 10:58:03 * Morgan nods, nudging HeinzHarold and nodding toward the window Nov 10 10:58:08 Its nice, I think Nov 10 10:58:40 *HH looks out* Nov 10 10:59:06 It’s so nice having our own water closet Nov 10 10:59:27 Makes life significantly easier doesn't it Nov 10 11:00:09 * Inga nods Nov 10 11:00:21 we’re going to have one in our house Nov 10 11:00:55 * Morgan nods Nov 10 11:00:58 Good idea, that Nov 10 11:03:35 * Inga nods. HH opens the window, sticking his head out to whistle Nov 10 11:04:41 One day... he'll grow up Nov 10 11:05:08 * Inga smiles fondly Nov 10 11:05:16 I hope not too much Nov 10 11:06:22 * Morgan smiles, nodding Nov 10 11:07:03 * Inga looks at the bed Nov 10 11:07:16 it’s very quiet at this end of the building Nov 10 11:07:38 * Morgan nods, muttering quietly beside her Nov 10 11:07:40 Most of the time Nov 10 11:07:52 * Inga blushes, smiling Nov 10 11:07:59 Except at night time Nov 10 11:08:03 * Morgan nods Nov 10 11:08:05 indeed Nov 10 11:08:19 * Inga watches him a moment Nov 10 11:08:24 are you guessing? Nov 10 11:08:53 * Morgan looks completely impassive Nov 10 11:09:04 Could be Nov 10 11:11:41 * Inga smiles, teasing him “well, you can’t blame me if you were eavesdropping and liked it too much!” Nov 10 11:11:57 * Morgan blushes, chuckling Nov 10 11:12:21 * Inga laughs Nov 10 11:13:42 I want to get a look at the nursery Nov 10 11:14:59 * Inga nods Nov 10 11:15:20 come on Varick, Florrie Nov 10 11:16:53 *The children go on with adults in tow. They open all the doors as they go, looking in at the rooms which are mostly just containing un-made-up beds. Varick looks in the bathroom Nov 10 11:16:58 V: Another bath! Nov 10 11:17:16 * Morgan nods Nov 10 11:17:23 All the better for keeping you clean Nov 10 11:17:41 F: No bath. Nov 10 11:17:56 * Morgan smiles Nov 10 11:18:01 I like baths Nov 10 11:19:24 V: you’ve got a bath already Nov 10 11:19:32 I know Nov 10 11:19:52 F: tinkle. Nov 10 11:20:17 *Alice smiles* Are you sure, you just went Nov 10 11:20:27 F: Go tinkle. Nov 10 11:20:40 * Morgan smiles Nov 10 11:20:47 Come on, there's one in my room Nov 10 11:21:08 *Alice shrugs, looking at Morgan* We’ll follow along Nov 10 11:21:11 Alright, we'll go round to the nursery Nov 10 11:21:28 * Inga walks with him Nov 10 11:21:35 You must be missing Molly Nov 10 11:21:56 That obvious huh? Nov 10 11:22:20 * Inga speaks quieter Nov 10 11:22:52 I was think, after last night. I remember the first time of that joy with Heinzharold, I was obsessed with him all the next day Nov 10 11:23:14 * Morgan nods Nov 10 11:24:12 Thats a pretty normal feeling for me... with Molly, obviously... Nov 10 11:26:34 * Inga giggles Nov 10 11:27:02 I think Heinzharold would have told me if you two had had any adolescent exploration! Nov 10 11:27:10 * Morgan blushes Nov 10 11:27:15 Oh. I imagine so Nov 10 11:27:36 * Inga watches him, that same look of suspecting gossip Nov 10 11:27:41 why did you blush? Nov 10 11:28:27 I did't expect you to say that, thats all Nov 10 11:28:36 * Inga giggles Nov 10 11:28:59 Maybe you might have had one of those competitions men have, who can do it the furthest... Nov 10 11:29:33 Uhhhh... do -what-? Nov 10 11:31:19 * Inga glances around before subtly making the male self-pleasure gesture, waiting to see if he blushes Nov 10 11:31:30 * Morgan does, shaking his head Nov 10 11:31:37 No... Nov 10 11:32:05 You’d lose anyway. Sometimes he has to stand on the bed to wipe the ceiling Nov 10 11:33:32 * Morgan blushes hard Nov 10 11:33:34 shush Nov 10 11:34:29 * Inga laughs Nov 10 11:34:43 she’s right, it is fun Nov 10 11:34:51 What is? Nov 10 11:35:03 making you blush Nov 10 11:35:54 Hardly seems fair Nov 10 11:36:58 why? Nov 10 11:37:26 I don't do that to you... and no-one does it to HeinzHarold Nov 10 11:37:52 Because you are too shy, and because he doesn’t have enough shame to get embarrassed Nov 10 11:38:19 That is very true Nov 10 11:41:39 *the nursery suite has staff rooms as well as three children’s bedrooms that the others are using. The parlour is ideal for children and babies, but looks quite unused* Nov 10 11:42:03 Oh this room is going to get a lot of use Nov 10 11:44:48 * Inga smiles, watching as Florrie comes back in to play with Varick, running around Nov 10 11:45:00 it’s going to be so full! Nov 10 11:45:03 * Morgan nods Nov 10 11:45:10 Definitely Nov 10 11:46:01 * Inga subconsciously touches her stomach, something Dietlinde started doing from about the time they knew Nov 10 11:46:19 especially if you have them close together, or twins Nov 10 11:46:29 * Morgan nods Nov 10 11:46:31 mmhmm Nov 10 11:46:54 V: Can I show them my room now? Nov 10 11:47:03 * Morgan nods Nov 10 11:47:06 Absolutely Nov 10 11:47:30 *Varick leads the way, showing his huge bed off Nov 10 11:47:54 * Inga looks around the room “it’s really nice, but that’s far too big!” Nov 10 11:49:26 Originally it was the masters room... Nov 10 11:49:45 J: Didn’t you want this one? Nov 10 11:50:11 * Morgan shrugs Nov 10 11:50:31 I'm perfectly happy in the room we share, and with a few minor alterations it'll be perfect Nov 10 11:51:28 *Varick opens the door to the dressing room* Here are Mama’s dresses Nov 10 11:52:20 *they follow in. Alice and Elsie admire Molly’s most expensive gowns, but he sees HH and Inga looking at the mirrors before sharing a little smirk Nov 10 11:52:52 $shut up$ Nov 10 11:55:28 $we didn’t say anything$ Nov 10 11:55:44 $Tell your face$ Nov 10 11:56:28 $you tell it. Or do you need the mirror in the right place so you can see it?$ *he smirks more* Nov 10 11:56:42 * Morgan blushes slightly, looking away Nov 10 11:57:19 V: And this is Mama and Vatis room. *he knocks on the door* Nov 10 11:57:40 I don’t think she’s in there, Varick Nov 10 11:58:05 V: I always have to knock on the door first, that’s the rules. Nov 10 11:58:23 *This makes all the grown ups laugh a little* Nov 10 11:58:40 That is the rule, yes... go on Varick Nov 10 11:59:54 *Varick goes in, showing off their room* Nov 10 12:00:07 Oh, it’s very pink! Nov 10 12:00:23 $thats what she said$ Nov 10 12:00:26 * Morgan nods Nov 10 12:00:35 Hoping to make it a bit more neutral... Nov 10 12:00:54 *Hh starts laughing* $if it’s not pink you’re doing it wrong!$ Nov 10 12:01:10 it’s big though Nov 10 12:01:17 * Morgan nods Nov 10 12:01:20 $thats what she said$ Nov 10 12:01:33 Aye... Nov 10 12:01:42 HH $she just keeps on coming, man$ Nov 10 12:02:09 $Definitely not doing it wrong then$ Nov 10 12:02:20 it smells nice too Nov 10 12:02:34 *it smells of lavender and roses* Nov 10 12:02:54 $that’d be a weird thing for her to have said$ Nov 10 12:02:55 * Morgan nods Nov 10 12:03:01 It really does Nov 10 12:03:16 V: look! another bathroom! Nov 10 12:04:42 * Morgan nods Nov 10 12:04:54 its... so nice... having that Nov 10 12:05:14 it’s very practical Nov 10 12:05:47 * Morgan nods Nov 10 12:05:54 Should help with the morning sickness when its time, too Nov 10 12:06:03 * Inga has a look in there “Tiles on the floor as well!” Nov 10 12:06:28 HH: $that’ll cramp your style!$ Nov 10 12:06:35 $Why?$ Nov 10 12:06:44 $one kink too far$ Nov 10 12:06:55 $I don't understand$ Nov 10 12:07:20 $you’re turned on by pregnancy, be pretty odd to be turned on by morning sickness$ Nov 10 12:07:39 $Oh... yeah, no thanks Nov 10 12:07:55 *HH chuckles quietly* Nov 10 12:08:28 It’d be fine if her waters broke in here though, easy to clean up Nov 10 12:08:53 * Morgan nods Nov 10 12:08:58 That is true Nov 10 12:09:18 HH looks at Morgan: $wonder if that comes out like a geyser$ Nov 10 12:09:49 *Varick climbs in the empty bath* Look Florrie, it’s okay Nov 10 12:10:32 $yes... wait, what are we talking about?$ Nov 10 12:12:18 $waters breaking$ Nov 10 12:12:41 *Florrie goes to look in it suspiciously* Nov 10 12:12:56 $Oh, I thought we were just talking about Molly$ Nov 10 12:13:20 *HH looks intrigued now* $does she?$ Nov 10 12:14:10 * Morgan doesn't respond, watching Florrie Nov 10 12:14:32 V: come on Florrie, there’s no water Nov 10 12:14:53 F: No! No Bath! Nov 10 12:15:07 Why does she dislike baths so much? Nov 10 12:16:52 A: She doesn’t always, she’s just... *she sighs* having a phase of wanting to be in control Nov 10 12:17:14 * Morgan nods Nov 10 12:17:19 HeinzHarold has those occasionally Nov 10 12:21:31 *they all laugh at this* Nov 10 12:22:44 * Morgan watches Alice for a moment Nov 10 12:26:03 *Alice is laughing too* Nov 10 12:27:22 * Morgan looks to Florrie Nov 10 12:27:29 What do you reckon, kid, could I sail that? Nov 10 12:28:01 F: sail bath? Nov 10 12:28:53 Silly idea, right? The waters meant to be on the inside for a start Nov 10 12:29:11 F: take bath to lake? Nov 10 12:34:04 I don't think Molly would like me doing that sweetheart Nov 10 12:36:27 F: boat for lake? Nov 10 12:41:50 I don't know... maybe we can go and look, see if there's a boat? Nov 10 12:42:06 V: We could look from the roof! Nov 10 12:42:30 * Morgan nods Nov 10 12:42:38 Thats a good idea... is everyone ready? Nov 10 12:43:48 *They all follow through the parlour and then up the stairs. Morgan has been up here before, the best spot on the west side where Molly and Dekker we’re firing arrows* Nov 10 12:44:33 * Morgan looks out over the grounds Nov 10 12:47:09 *He can see his estate and then on further, across woods and forests and fields that within three years will all be his, mile and miles stretching in all directions* Nov 10 12:48:40 * Morgan turns slowly, looking solemnly at the land as it stretches away from them Nov 10 12:49:10 * Inga watches this, and then says quietly “You’re going to be brilliant.” Nov 10 12:49:38 God I hope so Nov 10 12:52:03 * Inga nods “you will” Nov 10 12:52:29 * Morgan nods slightly, looking grateful before straightening and looking toward the lake Nov 10 12:55:09 *he doesn’t see a boat, but he does see a big weatherproof trunk up here that was not here last time Nov 10 12:55:26 No boat that I can see Nov 10 12:55:39 F: make boat? Nov 10 12:55:46 Eventually, yeah Nov 10 12:56:18 *The others take in the view. Florrie spots the box, going to open it* Nov 10 12:56:32 Alice: No Florrie, leave it alone Nov 10 12:56:34 Hang on sweetheart, I don't know what's in there yet Nov 10 12:56:52 F: *she stamps her foot* Open box! Nov 10 12:57:36 *Alice tries to gently move her away, but she only gets more angry about it* No! Open! Box! Nov 10 12:57:51 * Morgan crouches in front of her, looking serious Nov 10 12:58:09 Florrie, we don't know what's in it, it might not be safe, so I will open it in a little while. Nov 10 12:58:36 *Florrie descends into a full, fairly typical, toddler tantrum* Nov 10 12:59:12 * Morgan stays crouched, watching her Nov 10 12:59:41 *Florrie starts sobbing. Alice looks apologetically at Morgan* Maybe she’s hungry... Nov 10 13:00:17 Florrie... can I give you a cuddle? Nov 10 13:01:48 *Florrie nods a little* Nov 10 13:02:05 * Morgan nods, pulling her onto his knees as he's crouched, cradling her gently Nov 10 13:03:41 Its alright sweetheart, lots of big feelings going on Nov 10 13:03:50 F... want... see.... box. Nov 10 13:04:35 I know sweetheart, and once I know its all safe for you, you can do, but we don't know if its safe, and I've got to protect all of you Nov 10 13:05:50 F: Ballhead open Nov 10 13:06:29 Soon. Lets make a deal... you take the others to the art room and do some painting or drawing, and I'll make sure its safe, then you can have a look, ok? Nov 10 13:06:55 F: go art? come back? Box? Nov 10 13:07:02 * Morgan nods Nov 10 13:07:12 Yes sweetheart Nov 10 13:10:03 *Florrie nods* Nov 10 13:10:20 Alice: I’ll take them to the art room Nov 10 13:10:50 * Morgan nods Nov 10 13:10:53 I'll not be long Nov 10 13:11:48 *He’s soon left up there alone* Nov 10 13:13:46 * Morgan looks round before gingerly opening the box Nov 10 13:14:56 *Inside it is full of big cushions and blankets, just as she’d said some weeks ago she would arrange so they could easily have sex outdoors without having built their special garden yet Nov 10 13:15:13 * Morgan smiles, locking the box again Nov 10 13:16:27 * Morgan heads down to the art room Nov 10 13:17:25 *Florrie is now getting started with painting. Elsie is sat on the chaise nursing* Nov 10 13:19:26 * Morgan goes to sit near Varick and Florrie Nov 10 13:20:02 *Florrie looks to Morgan* box? Nov 10 13:20:22 We can look, but its boring. Just blankets and cushions Nov 10 13:21:38 Alice: Won’t they get wet up there? Nov 10 13:21:52 The box seems to be weatherproofed Nov 10 13:22:06 * Inga smiles Nov 10 13:22:21 that’s nice, you can go up there to see the stars Nov 10 13:22:28 * Morgan nods Nov 10 13:22:32 Aye, it'll be nice Nov 10 13:23:07 *HH smirks a little at Morgan before going to look out of the window* Nov 10 13:25:30 Its probably about the closest I can get to being on a ship for a while Nov 10 13:26:23 Alice: I think it’s only right if we don’t trouble you to take us home when it’s time Nov 10 13:27:01 I'm giving some thought to using that as an excuse to sail a little bit... Nov 10 13:28:49 *Alice smiles* I’ll always give a sailor an alibi Nov 10 13:29:04 * Morgan laughs Nov 10 13:29:21 HH: $got to be one of the most inadvertently dirty things I’ve ever heard$ Nov 10 13:29:39 We'll have to see... there's a lot for me to do in the coming months Nov 10 13:29:45 $I was hoping you hadn't noticed$ Nov 10 13:30:15 $me? don’t be stupid. if there’s an innuendo, I’m in the end of it$ Nov 10 13:30:48 Alice: we can time it by you if we need to Nov 10 13:31:39 * Morgan nods Nov 10 13:31:44 We'll see how things lie, love Nov 10 13:34:27 *Florrie and Varick are quietly painting on the floor, and everyone else is taking the chance to just relax from the tour, the house now looked over. it’s well after eleven already, and he can only assume lunch will be midday as usual Nov 10 13:35:20 [Are you alright love? Been a while] Nov 10 13:35:40 [I am just finishing off] Nov 10 13:37:17 I don't know about you bt I'm looking forward to lunch Nov 10 13:37:40 HH: I’m always looking forward to lunch, man Nov 10 13:38:44 * Morgan nods Nov 10 13:38:50 I know man Nov 10 13:39:11 [did you wish to see me before lunch? Or shall we use our walk in quiet time to catch up?] Nov 10 13:39:27 [we'll use our walk] Nov 10 13:39:47 HH: wonder where they got to Nov 10 13:40:01 Who? Nov 10 13:40:14 HH: Claudia and Uinise Nov 10 13:40:46 * Morgan shrugs Nov 10 13:40:51 Could't say Nov 10 13:42:45 I can watch Varick if you need to go and look? Nov 10 13:43:08 * Morgan glances at HeinzHarold before nodding Nov 10 13:43:10 Thanks love Nov 10 13:43:22 HH: $she means for, not look at$ Nov 10 13:43:40 * Morgan gets up, ruffling Varicks then Florries hair Nov 10 13:43:44 I'll see you in a little while Nov 10 13:44:55 **He, for the first time, actually spots a maid in the hall, carrying towels to HH’s room. She has a limp, but still curtsies* My Lord Nov 10 13:45:13 * Morgan smiles Nov 10 13:45:22 I'm sorry, I don't know most peoples names yet... Nov 10 13:46:39 Katrine, my Lord Nov 10 13:47:16 Katrine, thank you... its nice to meet you. I don't suppose you happen to know where my friend Claudia is? Nov 10 13:50:26 *she points two doors down* that’s her room, my Lord Nov 10 13:50:43 * Morgan nods, thanking her and going to knock Nov 10 13:51:36 C: Just a minute, Morgan Nov 10 13:52:26 * Morgan waits Nov 10 13:52:33 If its inconvenient, we can catch up later Nov 10 13:53:11 No, it’s okay Nov 10 13:53:17 * Inga is now known as Claudia Nov 10 13:53:29 * Morgan shrugs, waiting Nov 10 13:53:42 alright, ready Nov 10 13:53:57 * Morgan opens the door Nov 10 13:54:16 * Claudia is alone, and putting her boots back on Nov 10 13:54:23 Where's Uinise? Nov 10 13:54:52 next door in her room Nov 10 13:56:07 You two've been gone all morning Nov 10 13:56:21 * Claudia nods Nov 10 13:56:33 We went to look for somewhere for my cottage Nov 10 13:56:43 Off in the woods... Nov 10 13:56:48 * Claudia blushes Nov 10 13:56:54 shut up, not like that Nov 10 13:57:01 Your cheeks say otherwise Nov 10 13:57:32 we kissed, that’s it. it’s your land, and it’s bit too risky anyway Nov 10 13:58:12 * Morgan nods Nov 10 13:58:15 Sadly, yes Nov 10 14:01:11 Then she thought it would be fun to play tag. She’s quick, and I managed to slip as I caught her, landed on my ass in the mud Nov 10 14:01:34 * Morgan nods Nov 10 14:01:54 * Claudia smiles Nov 10 14:01:58 hence the boots Nov 10 14:02:03 * Morgan nods Nov 10 14:02:11 We laid the stone Nov 10 14:02:27 damn. Is Heinzharold mad? Nov 10 14:02:48 I don't think so... he'd have liked you there but he understands Nov 10 14:03:19 no doubt he thinks we were indisposed in the woods too Nov 10 14:03:35 Oh undoubtedly. Did you find somewhere? Nov 10 14:04:03 somewhere to...? For the cottage. I have a rough idea Nov 10 14:04:29 * Morgan nods Nov 10 14:04:40 After quiet hour, we'll sit down and look over the plan Nov 10 14:04:55 * Claudia smiles faintly Nov 10 14:04:57 yeah Nov 10 14:10:55 * Morgan nods Nov 10 14:10:58 Good... alright. Nov 10 14:11:21 I’ll keep an eye to the time Nov 10 14:11:53 * Morgan nods Nov 10 14:12:01 Alright. See you at lunch? Nov 10 14:12:23 * Claudia nods “won’t be long” Nov 10 14:12:48 * Morgan nods, inclining his head and wandering back toward the art room Nov 10 14:13:53 *everyone is settled and chatting. Florrie doesn’t mention the box again* Nov 10 14:14:32 * Morgan goes to sit by Alice Nov 10 14:14:44 * Claudia is now known as Alice Nov 10 14:16:35 Did you find them? Nov 10 14:16:47 * Morgan nods Nov 10 14:17:14 Claudia slipped and got covered in mud so she was changing Nov 10 14:20:28 HH: clumsy. Nov 10 14:20:38 * Morgan nods Nov 10 14:23:20 Varick brings over his painting: Here, Vati Nov 10 14:24:04 * Morgan takes it, looking at it Nov 10 14:25:03 *It has Varick, him, Molly, and Emil by Hafenlohr. on a cloud is a stick figure with no distinguishing features Nov 10 14:25:32 * Morgan points to it, speaking quietly Nov 10 14:25:36 Who's this? Nov 10 14:26:00 V: That’s my first daddy in heaven Nov 10 14:26:19 * Morgan nods, wrapping an arm around him Nov 10 14:26:51 Can I have it for my office? Nov 10 14:27:06 *it occurs to him though that he hasn’t heard Varick mention Karsten since before they were back in Avalon, a couple of weeks ago* Nov 10 14:27:18 *Varick nods* okay Nov 10 14:27:32 * Morgan nods, hugging the boy Nov 10 14:27:34 Thank you Nov 10 14:28:31 *Florrie brings hers. It’s just splodges of colour, but they all compliment each other perfectly* Nov 10 14:28:46 Oh thats lovely, isn't it Alice? Nov 10 14:29:04 * Alice nods Nov 10 14:29:11 beautiful colours, Florrie Nov 10 14:31:12 * Alice has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Nov 10 14:32:15 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Nov 10 14:33:45 F: For orifice? *she can’t pronounce the unfamiliar word easily. HH smiles, rubbing his nose* Nov 10 14:34:00 * Morgan nods Nov 10 14:34:08 Yes sweetheart, Id like to put it in my office Nov 10 14:34:29 *She gives it to him. A bell rings. It is the same pattern used on the Navy ships to announce lunch* Nov 10 14:35:17 *HH is immediately heading towards the door* Nov 10 14:36:53 * Morgan laughs, getting up to put the paintings somewhere safe to dry Nov 10 14:36:57 Right, come on then, time for lunch Nov 10 14:43:10 *they go back down the back stairs or the breakfast room where the lunch table is set. Again the food is nice, not overly fancy, and followed by his preferred coffee. Elsie and her family are the first to go for quiet hour when Thomas wants to be fed again, and HH and Inga jump at the opportunity to walk up at the same time and add fifteen minutes to their quiet hour. Nov 10 14:43:24 Uinise is talking to Molly about the differences in climate types for growing things across Theah, and Molly does seem to be genuinely interested, feeding Emil at the same time. Alice takes a sleepy Florrie up, leaving Morgan with his wife, sons, Claudia and Uinise Nov 10 14:44:56 * Morgan watches Uinise and Claudia talking Nov 10 14:45:49 * Morgan watches Uinise and Mollytalking Nov 10 14:46:47 *Claudia watches them, drinking her coffee* $how long do you think they’ll be doing this?$ Nov 10 14:47:14 $If last night is anything to go by, hours$ Nov 10 14:47:59 $fantastic.$ Nov 10 14:50:48 $desperate to get her alone again to whisper sweet nothings to her?$ Nov 10 14:51:32 $kinda, actually $ Nov 10 14:52:31 * Morgan nods Nov 10 14:52:46 Right then, shall we get the boys to sleep so we can go for a walk love? Nov 10 14:53:18 * Molly nods Nov 10 14:53:30 yes, let’s. Nov 10 14:53:37 $thanks$ Nov 10 14:54:43 * Morgan nods slightly, getting up Nov 10 14:54:46 Come on then Nov 10 14:56:19 * Molly carries Emil up, and Varick walks with Morgan. the breakfast room stairs go straight up to their parlour and then into the boys bedroom. Varick gets his boots off and on the bed just as a maid appears to watch over them whilst their parents are out Nov 10 14:57:38 * Morgan smiles Nov 10 14:57:42 They're very very good here Nov 10 15:00:34 * Molly smiles, taking his hand when they get started “yes, they are. it’s all very precise and organised.” Nov 10 15:01:17 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:01:35 The bell they rang for lunch... thats the pattern used in camps in the navy Nov 10 15:02:02 * Molly nods “For the army too” Nov 10 15:03:26 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:05:50 * Molly waits til they’re outside and moving west to talk more about their new house Nov 10 15:06:11 It is as if they set up a camp, but within a building Nov 10 15:06:47 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:06:52 It does feel that way, yes Nov 10 15:09:11 I like it. Things are done at certain times, in certain ways, efficiently Nov 10 15:10:06 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:10:10 Your meeting went well? Nov 10 15:10:26 * Molly nods Nov 10 15:10:34 Yes, it did Nov 10 15:10:51 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:10:52 good Nov 10 15:12:34 I know much about who does the washing and when, where we get our produce from and who is in charge of going to the market, what is used to keep the house smelling nice, how often rugs are beaten... all sorts, really Nov 10 15:14:08 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:14:10 Useful Nov 10 15:14:16 * Molly nods Nov 10 15:14:30 I spoke to her about the friendly maids Nov 10 15:14:37 Go on... Nov 10 15:16:20 She definitely knew what I meant immediately. I expressed that that was to stop, and that it is not the sort of household we wish to be. I asked that if anyone is asking the servants for that sort of help it is relayed to us to deal with, even if they are gentleman who have had it before Nov 10 15:16:46 How did she handle that? Nov 10 15:17:04 she thanked me for raising it so openly Nov 10 15:17:30 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:17:34 I like her Nov 10 15:17:39 * Molly nods Nov 10 15:17:53 So do I. She’s very capable and practical Nov 10 15:18:19 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:20:29 * Molly smiles Nov 10 15:20:45 There are only a few things to alter Nov 10 15:23:10 Such as? Nov 10 15:24:39 Quiet hour becoming the normal pattern of the day, so that that is a tiny they do not plan to do any bedroom cleaning... Nov 10 15:24:51 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:24:52 Good idea Nov 10 15:25:41 I told her that as we would like to immediately conceive a child here it suits us to have that time of privacy each day Nov 10 15:28:07 * Morgan nods, blushing a little Nov 10 15:29:12 I think that is the gentlest way of suggesting that we should be given full privacy at that time, don’t you? Nov 10 15:30:16 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:30:20 Yes, I agree Nov 10 15:31:05 * Molly smiles, nodding Nov 10 15:31:15 And it’s true, isn’t it? Nov 10 15:32:04 * Molly is heading around the lake, her hand warm in his Nov 10 15:32:47 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:32:49 Yes, itis Nov 10 15:34:46 * Molly smiles fondly Nov 10 15:35:02 now we are home it has become even more pressing? Nov 10 15:35:14 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:35:17 aye Nov 10 15:36:07 What thinks you of the house now you’ve seen more of it? Nov 10 15:36:26 There's a lot of it Nov 10 15:38:40 * Molly smiles Nov 10 15:39:26 I’ve seen some of it, but I’ll take time to see the rest when you’re away Nov 10 15:40:02 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:40:08 There's a gallery with nothing in it Nov 10 15:40:24 * Molly nods Nov 10 15:40:54 I considered whether that might be a good ballroom, or a state room for Grafly things Nov 10 15:41:02 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:41:07 The thought did occur to me too Nov 10 15:41:36 * Molly smiles Nov 10 15:41:42 great minds, my love Nov 10 15:41:56 * Morgan nods, looking at the lake Nov 10 15:42:02 Haven't seen a boat have you? Nov 10 15:42:20 *the day is good enough, some cloud, mild. the lake looks smooth and mirror-like* Nov 10 15:42:38 no, I’m afraid not. will you build one when I am gone? Nov 10 15:42:54 I suspect I'll be busy with Edward, and the cottage Nov 10 15:43:44 * Molly nods Nov 10 15:43:58 maybe you could buy one, or have one made? Nov 10 15:44:05 * Morgan shrugs Nov 10 15:44:06 maybe Nov 10 15:46:13 we do need to think of a lake house... Nov 10 15:46:21 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:46:23 Yes, we do Nov 10 15:47:20 we’d like somewhere for changing clothes? Nov 10 15:47:22 I've been up on the roof... theres a trunk up there with blankets and cushions Nov 10 15:47:34 Oh... yes, I think thats a good idea Nov 10 15:48:25 * Molly smiles “I know, I arranged it through my father” Nov 10 15:48:36 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:49:02 Florrie had an absolute meltdown when she wasn't allowed to open it... I wasn't sure what it was and I'm a bit... cautious around unexplained trunks Nov 10 15:49:45 ohh, sorry my love, I thought you might remember Nov 10 15:49:59 * Morgan shrugs, smiling Nov 10 15:50:10 Doesn't matter love, I calmed her down Nov 10 15:50:19 * Molly smiles Nov 10 15:50:41 good. would you like to see the stars tonight before you go tomorrow? Nov 10 15:51:13 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:51:15 That'd be nice Nov 10 15:53:31 * Molly nods Nov 10 15:54:07 it’s quite nice knowing there are maids to watch the boys when we need Nov 10 15:54:59 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:55:08 Still feels a bit like we're guests, y'know? Nov 10 15:57:24 * Molly smiles Nov 10 15:57:48 You’re still waiting for the Lord of the house to come in so you can defer to him? Nov 10 15:57:59 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:58:01 Yes, I am Nov 10 15:58:46 * Molly smiles “maybe that is why the rest of us are not feeling as out of place, we have you to defer to” Nov 10 15:59:11 * Morgan nods Nov 10 15:59:14 Maybe... Nov 10 16:00:44 * Molly squeezes his hand Nov 10 16:00:56 It’s much bigger than you’ve had before Nov 10 16:01:04 * Morgan sighs Nov 10 16:01:06 Thats what she said Nov 10 16:01:13 * Molly giggles Nov 10 16:01:39 that wasn’t me being lewd, for a change! Nov 10 16:02:48 No, I know... I've not had this much responsibility before Nov 10 16:03:51 * Molly nods Nov 10 16:04:05 it’s understandable to be nervous about that Nov 10 16:04:12 * Morgan nods Nov 10 16:04:14 I suppose so Nov 10 16:05:58 * Molly smiles Nov 10 16:06:11 it’ll become more natural in time Nov 10 16:06:31 * Morgan nods Nov 10 16:06:34 I hope so Nov 10 16:10:05 * Molly kisses his knuckles Nov 10 16:10:37 It’s unusual for us to spend quiet hour this way Nov 10 16:11:16 * Morgan nods, thinking about the Nieblungen and his swords Nov 10 16:11:18 It is, yes Nov 10 16:12:28 how are you feeling about last night? Nov 10 16:12:35 * Morgan shrugs Nov 10 16:12:39 Fine. And you? Nov 10 16:12:48 * Molly nods Nov 10 16:13:32 I think so, yes. It isn’t like me to ask so blatantly, so perhaps a little self-conscious about that part of it Nov 10 16:13:52 * Morgan shrugs Nov 10 16:14:00 Wasn't nearly so blatant as Inga suggested... Nov 10 16:14:12 what do you mean? Nov 10 16:15:35 Oh, I heard her say "excuse me your excellency, can I sit on your face" earlier Nov 10 16:17:50 * Molly blushes hard Nov 10 16:17:53 oh dear! Nov 10 16:18:00 * Morgan smiles Nov 10 16:19:10 it’s her fault I even thought of it! Nov 10 16:19:15 * Morgan nods Nov 10 16:19:21 I know Nov 10 16:21:46 I don’t think I’d have asked a different time, but... I suppose it fit with the mood of my having so much control Nov 10 16:23:01 * Morgan nods Nov 10 16:23:04 I'm glad you did Nov 10 16:25:00 are you? Nov 10 16:25:09 * Morgan nods Nov 10 16:25:16 Why wouldn't I be? Nov 10 16:25:51 it might have been something unfamiliar, uncomfortable, or just too dominant Nov 10 16:26:30 * Morgan shrugs Nov 10 16:26:31 Clearly not Nov 10 16:27:50 but it isn’t clear, my love, if I do not know what you are thinking and feeling Nov 10 16:28:13 Well, I enjoyed it. Its as simple as that. Nov 10 16:28:25 what did you like about it? Nov 10 16:29:58 It seemed to affect you quite differently than normal Nov 10 16:32:11 * Molly nods, biting her lip Nov 10 16:32:58 I have more of a freedom of movement in my hips, I can... I don’t know... work with your mouth Nov 10 16:33:43 * Morgan nods Nov 10 16:39:16 Like I said, I enjoyed it Nov 10 16:40:46 you would wish to do it like that again some day? Nov 10 16:40:55 * Morgan nods Nov 10 16:40:57 Absolutely I would Nov 10 16:41:40 And I should just tell you I would like to sit on your Excellency’s face? *she smiles slightly* Nov 10 16:42:18 * Morgan nods Nov 10 16:42:25 Maybe without the excellent ness Nov 10 16:42:38 * Molly smiles Nov 10 16:42:56 I shall do my best not to tell you that during dinner tonight Nov 10 16:43:28 * Morgan nods Nov 10 16:43:33 That would be a touch awkward Nov 10 16:44:35 * Molly nods Nov 10 16:44:49 it would indeed Nov 10 16:44:59 * Molly starts giggling Nov 10 16:45:02 * Morgan nods, looking around Nov 10 16:45:04 What? Nov 10 16:48:46 *she sends him the image. She’s straddling his face in the middle of the dining table, some plates still on it, some smashed on the floor. Several wine glasses leave berry trails where they’ve also been knocked over. She grinds, moaning loudly, his hands over her thighs holding her both apart and to him. Nov 10 16:48:58 . The occupied chairs are filled with unknown noblemen and women, all looking shocked and affronted, yet fascinated, by the intimate spectacle that is eating at a Duke and Duchess’ table. Nov 10 16:49:22 * Morgan blushes Nov 10 16:49:37 I know we want to make ourselves known but... I don't know -that- is the way to go Nov 10 16:49:45 * Molly giggles Nov 10 16:50:10 our events would certainly be the talk of the high and jaded! Nov 10 16:50:31 * Morgan nods Nov 10 16:50:34 definitely Nov 10 16:50:57 But it would be breaking the rules of social convention... Nov 10 16:51:21 * Morgan nods Nov 10 16:51:23 It would rather Nov 10 16:51:41 * Molly glances at him, looking as if she might truly be considering it Nov 10 16:52:08 we do like to do that Nov 10 16:52:32 That is true, yes Nov 10 16:52:42 * Molly smiles Nov 10 16:52:51 You know I wouldn’t though Nov 10 16:53:38 * Morgan nods Nov 10 16:53:40 Aye, I know love Nov 10 16:54:20 Not at a noble table in Eisen, at any rate... Nov 10 16:56:10 No... in a brothel taproom, however... Nov 10 16:57:04 * Molly bites her lip Nov 10 16:57:25 a foreign one, somewhere fairly anonymous Nov 10 16:57:37 * Morgan nods Nov 10 16:57:47 Aye, couldn't really get away with it in Eisen Nov 10 17:00:51 no. Unless, mon petit chou, that was a confession of your own curiosities... Nov 10 17:01:04 I'm not sure how it could be... Nov 10 17:01:22 That you’d do that to me in a place like that Nov 10 17:01:49 * Morgan shrugs Nov 10 17:01:51 Never say never Nov 10 17:02:02 * Molly smiles Nov 10 17:02:06 interesting... Nov 10 17:02:58 * Morgan nods, looking round Nov 10 17:04:18 * Molly sighs slightly Nov 10 17:04:26 your mind is elsewhere, I think Nov 10 17:04:51 I'm keeping an eye out for our diminutive friends... they said four days for my swords... Nov 10 17:06:37 Oh. Alright my love Nov 10 17:07:33 Also... just over there... that'd be a good spot for a little house on the lake to change and whatnot Nov 10 17:08:07 * Molly nods, smiling Nov 10 17:08:49 without windows, I think? or with part of it windowless at least? Nov 10 17:09:00 * Morgan nods Nov 10 17:09:02 Yes, I think so Nov 10 17:11:16 * Molly nods, now also looking around Nov 10 17:11:58 had you wanted to do more than we did in the Jura brothel taproom? Nov 10 17:12:25 I hadn't, no, I think that was pushing the boundaries of what I was comfortable with... but that was then... Nov 10 17:13:22 it would be different now? Nov 10 17:13:28 * Morgan shrugs Nov 10 17:13:38 I don't know really.. maybe. I'm a lot more open than I was Nov 10 17:13:47 * Molly nods Nov 10 17:14:05 I think it will be years before we are ever somewhere like that again Nov 10 17:16:05 * Morgan nods, sighing Nov 10 17:16:44 that disappoints you? Nov 10 17:16:55 A little... we've had a lot of freedom Nov 10 17:17:06 * Molly nods Nov 10 17:17:41 We do not have much anywhere at all in Eisen, and even in many surrounding countries I’d have to wear that wig Nov 10 17:18:43 * Morgan nods Nov 10 17:18:45 aye Nov 10 17:21:50 *He sees movement by a tree* Nov 10 17:22:02 We do not to pick a spot for our garden also Nov 10 17:22:10 need to* Nov 10 17:25:07 No? Nov 10 17:25:13 * Morgan turns to look toward the trees Nov 10 17:25:57 * Molly looks in that direction. There is a Nibelungen stood there Nov 10 17:26:34 Ah... et see if they've kept their word shall we? Nov 10 17:27:27 *the Nibelungen waits by the tree Nov 10 17:31:58 * Morgan makes his way over to the Nieblungen Nov 10 17:32:50 * Molly comes with him Nov 10 17:33:18 * Molly is now known as Nieblungen Nov 10 17:33:32 * Nieblungen watches them approach Nov 10 17:34:42 Afternoon Nov 10 17:35:10 yes it is Nov 10 17:35:34 * Morgan smiles Nov 10 17:35:40 Do you have what I asked for? Nov 10 17:36:55 * Nieblungen takes two swords from behind the tree, identical, and holds them out. They look just like he pictured when they asked him to Nov 10 17:37:25 * Morgan nods, looking them over Nov 10 17:37:30 Perfect. Thank you Nov 10 17:39:13 * Nieblungen then hands over the wrist bracers, again just as he wished Nov 10 17:40:04 I think it would be fitting for those of our friends involved to have suitable weaponry... Nov 10 17:41:37 what are you asking? Nov 10 17:42:52 I think it would be appropriate for HeinzHarold,Claudia and Sebastian to have a dracheneisen sword each Nov 10 17:43:31 * Nieblungen is quiet a moment before saying Yes Nov 10 17:43:47 * Morgan nods Nov 10 17:44:11 So, another three then. How long? Nov 10 17:44:36 a week Nov 10 17:44:41 * Morgan nods Nov 10 17:44:51 Alright. Is there anything new we should know? Nov 10 17:46:18 we are seeing some flickers of paths, but nothing we can clearly decipher Nov 10 17:49:30 That is an improvement at least. We're home, we're settling, we're preparing. Nov 10 17:49:40 yes Nov 10 17:51:48 * Morgan watches the Nieblungen for a moment Nov 10 17:51:59 Alright, thank you, I won't intrude on your time any longer Nov 10 17:52:30 yes *the Nieblungen sidesteps behind the tree and disappears* Nov 10 17:52:56 * Morgan smiles slightly, putting the bracers on his wrists Nov 10 17:53:06 Well now... thats that dealt with Nov 10 17:53:09 * Nieblungen is now known as Molly Nov 10 17:53:37 * Molly goes behind the tree. She suddenly drops right off his mental radar Nov 10 17:53:46 Woah, where've you gone? Nov 10 17:53:54 I’m right here Nov 10 17:54:03 I can't -feel- you Nov 10 17:54:16 *she reappears, physically and radarly* Nov 10 17:54:34 My love, you can feel me whenever you wish... *she smiles* Nov 10 17:54:42 You know what I mean Nov 10 17:55:09 I do. I was thinking whether I could just disappear like they do Nov 10 17:56:19 You did from my being able to detect you Nov 10 17:56:42 * Molly nods Nov 10 17:56:55 it’s bizarre, isn’t it Nov 10 17:57:29 Extremely Nov 10 17:58:10 Maybe I am getting stronger in resisting your talents, like that I can shield my thoughts if you try to read them Nov 10 17:59:32 * Morgan nods Nov 10 17:59:38 possibly... not sure why you'd need to though... Nov 10 17:59:54 * Molly shrugs Nov 10 18:00:01 I don’t know Nov 10 18:20:24 * Morgan looks at the swords briefly before tucking them in the back of his belt Nov 10 18:20:46 * Molly comes to look at the bracers, smiling “these are very nice, my love” Nov 10 18:22:04 * Morgan nods Nov 10 18:22:26 I quite like them... but its more their use than design I was interested in Nov 10 18:22:54 are they light? Nov 10 18:23:18 * Morgan nods, taking one off and handing it to her Nov 10 18:23:56 * Molly holds it and examines it before putting it on and smiling, showing it to him Nov 10 18:24:26 * Morgan nods Nov 10 18:24:29 Very nice Nov 10 18:24:33 so, my love, is a woman wearing Dracheneisen sexier than a woman wearing lingerie? Nov 10 18:25:51 ummm... no. Nov 10 18:26:36 and if it was both together? Nov 10 18:26:51 We'll find out later, yes? Nov 10 18:27:24 absolutely Nov 10 18:51:47 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 10 19:28:43 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 10 20:47:40 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Nov 10 20:48:11 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Nov 10 20:48:54 so, my love, is a woman wearing Dracheneisen sexier than a woman wearing lingerie? Nov 10 20:48:54 ummm... no. Nov 10 20:48:54 and if it was both together? Nov 10 20:48:54 We'll find out later, yes? Nov 10 20:48:54 absolutely Nov 10 20:50:13 do you wish to continue on, or do you need a few minutes to swing your swords around Nov 10 20:51:00 No, we can continue Nov 10 20:52:31 *they finish going around the lake and start following the stream into the denser woods. it’s still fairly light in there, lots of birds, but very soon the house is obscured. She watches the birds as they sing Nov 10 20:52:44 I will need to practice my magic soon... Nov 10 20:52:50 * Morgan nods Nov 10 20:53:03 Aye... Nov 10 20:53:14 not the light side of it... Nov 10 20:53:31 right... Nov 10 20:55:24 I used it n the Ashkoven, but I didn’t have full confidence in my ability Nov 10 20:55:44 You made a werewolves heart explode in his chest... Nov 10 20:57:01 * Molly nods Nov 10 20:57:11 I did Nov 10 20:58:58 Alright.. how do you want to do it? Nov 10 21:00:33 I’m not sure. I don’t want to do it to animals we won’t eat or use their fur or skin... Nov 10 21:02:18 * Morgan nods Nov 10 21:02:26 What is it you want to practice? Nov 10 21:03:19 * Molly sighs “I need to practice instantly ending life, just in case” Nov 10 21:04:48 * Morgan nods Nov 10 21:05:20 I'd like to say your task is healing but... there've been occasions I wouldn't have survived if you hadn't stepped in Nov 10 21:06:13 * Molly nods Nov 10 21:06:38 I don’t like it, but I’m not fool enough to think I won’t ever have to do it again Nov 10 21:06:46 * Morgan nods Nov 10 21:06:50 aye Nov 10 21:08:50 * Molly smiles a little Nov 10 21:09:19 not today, not when you’re going away tomorrow. I do not wish to feel guilty and you not be here Nov 10 21:09:42 * Morgan nods Nov 10 21:09:52 indeed. We will see to it once we're back together Nov 10 21:10:12 * Molly nods, watching the stream Nov 10 21:10:29 I’m going to miss you Nov 10 21:10:38 * Morgan nods Nov 10 21:10:41 I'd miss me too Nov 10 21:10:49 * Molly laughs Nov 10 21:11:21 my poor fingers will miss you most Nov 10 21:11:41 * Morgan blushes Nov 10 21:13:00 Sorry, I’ve embarrassed you? Nov 10 21:13:15 Not... not -much- Nov 10 21:13:47 * Molly smiles “just a little” Nov 10 21:13:59 * Morgan nods Nov 10 21:14:47 will you find that difficult “ Nov 10 21:15:36 That you will be doing that? Nov 10 21:16:02 that you’ll be away so many days, and we are hardly particularly abstinent Nov 10 21:16:32 * Morgan shrugs Nov 10 21:16:56 I have tasks that are to be difficult... you know how that makes me... while -you're- away however... Nov 10 21:19:38 Then you will have much... time... on your hands? *she smiles* Nov 10 21:19:45 Indeed Nov 10 21:20:04 mmmhmm... what will you find to keep you occupied? Nov 10 21:20:33 * Morgan shrugs Nov 10 21:20:40 I'm sure I'll find something Nov 10 21:20:54 lots of cold baths, perhaps Nov 10 21:23:05 * Morgan nods Nov 10 21:23:08 Perhaps, yes Nov 10 21:24:38 fortunately for me, I am taking my hands with me, and I can find relief from my frustration caused by thoughts of you just as easily in a bed in Edward and Mina’s town house as here *she says this completely nonchalantly, watching him sidelong* Nov 10 21:25:00 Me blushes Nov 10 21:25:01 Shush Nov 10 21:26:36 * Molly giggles Nov 10 21:26:52 no no, I think you’d need to make me Nov 10 21:28:27 * Morgan looks round before looking at the stream Nov 10 21:28:39 Its not a waterfall, but... Nov 10 21:28:51 * Molly bites her lip Nov 10 21:28:53 but... Nov 10 21:29:01 Its plenty private.. Nov 10 21:29:18 Oh, you’re thinking for the garden? Nov 10 21:29:30 No, I mean in the meantime Nov 10 21:29:53 * Molly looks around the space, there are several trees Nov 10 21:30:29 It does seem so far from anything there’s no reason for the staff to be here Nov 10 21:30:48 * Morgan nods Nov 10 21:30:49 Indeed Nov 10 21:32:14 * Molly smiles at him Nov 10 21:32:25 for when you come back from Sudlachenburg? Nov 10 21:34:03 I suppose Nov 10 21:34:44 * Molly smiles with mischief Nov 10 21:34:53 you’d like to wait that long? Nov 10 21:35:10 Be a bit difficult right now Nov 10 21:35:38 it was not now you actually meant? or it was merely play? Nov 10 21:35:52 Somewhere between the two really Nov 10 21:36:05 * Molly smiles Nov 10 21:36:53 we have another ten minutes before we must turn back, shall we keep going, if you are not certain? Nov 10 21:37:47 * Morgan nods, taking her hand and wandering on Nov 10 21:38:04 * Molly looks around as they go Nov 10 21:38:22 We want the stream to run through the garden Nov 10 21:38:31 Do we? Nov 10 21:38:44 yes, it’s practical for cleaning up afterwards Nov 10 21:39:03 * Morgan nods Nov 10 21:39:05 Good point Nov 10 21:39:22 * Molly glances at him sidelong “Especially if you’ll cover me again like last night” Nov 10 21:39:50 * Morgan blushes, but nods Nov 10 21:40:33 And two trees close enough to tie a hammock between Nov 10 21:40:43 * Morgan nods Nov 10 21:40:44 Definitely Nov 10 21:41:01 Our shed needs a bed? Nov 10 21:41:08 Its not a shed Nov 10 21:41:16 what is it then? Nov 10 21:41:25 Its not a shed Nov 10 21:41:43 a love shack? Nov 10 21:41:55 Its not a shack Nov 10 21:42:03 a banging barn? Nov 10 21:42:11 * Molly looks amused Nov 10 21:42:12 Alright, I'm going back Nov 10 21:42:31 noooo! I’ll tease you no more, I promise Nov 10 21:42:45 * Morgan watches her for a moment before nodding Nov 10 21:43:04 what are we having in the special garden, my love? Nov 10 21:43:21 Oh I don't know... what do you think? Nov 10 21:43:44 Some sort of structure with a roof for wet days Nov 10 21:43:54 * Morgan nods Nov 10 21:43:56 tiled Nov 10 21:44:08 it’s a tiny cottage? Nov 10 21:44:44 * Morgan frowns Nov 10 21:45:00 I suppose we'd best put some proper thought into it when you get back from Freiburg Nov 10 21:46:06 I think we should build that before the enclosure Nov 10 21:47:04 Oh? Nov 10 21:48:26 we would have the option of coming out to it, and can add the enclosure later Nov 10 21:48:34 * Morgan nods Nov 10 21:48:38 True Nov 10 21:49:21 what thinks you? Nov 10 21:49:40 I think you're right Nov 10 21:50:23 * Molly nods Nov 10 21:50:37 with beams, and metal rings Nov 10 21:50:46 Why? Nov 10 21:50:57 threading ropes through Nov 10 21:51:30 For what purpose? Nov 10 21:51:54 binding me so I am at your mercy Nov 10 21:52:38 * Morgan blushes Nov 10 21:52:40 alright Nov 10 21:53:21 we need not, if that is too much for you, if you would not find that arousing Nov 10 21:53:36 Give it a go... Nov 10 21:53:46 * Molly nods, smiling Nov 10 21:54:03 spare clothes. Nov 10 21:54:07 * Morgan nods Nov 10 21:54:08 Good idea Nov 10 21:54:49 waxed sheets? or would we just do that outdoors and water the grass? Nov 10 21:55:12 * Molly is blushing now Nov 10 21:55:36 Both ideas have their merits Nov 10 21:55:48 * Molly nods Nov 10 21:55:58 what else might we need? Nov 10 21:56:25 * Morgan shrugs Nov 10 21:56:40 I'm not sure Nov 10 21:56:56 how big would you like it? Nov 10 21:57:24 Fair sized... we need space to move about... Nov 10 21:57:42 fifteen feet square? Nov 10 21:58:13 * Morgan nods Nov 10 21:58:18 Thats a reasonable size Nov 10 21:58:28 * Molly nods Nov 10 21:59:08 I’m sure it’ll be wonderful Nov 10 21:59:15 * Morgan sighs Nov 10 21:59:18 I really hope so Nov 10 21:59:29 you are concerned? Nov 10 21:59:33 Me nods Nov 10 21:59:44 why? Nov 10 22:00:06 What if it isn't as good as we've made it to be in our imaginations... Nov 10 22:00:43 then we’ll just fuck against the trees and it will be glorious, as usual Nov 10 22:01:26 * Morgan blushes hard but nods Nov 10 22:02:52 all we really need is somewhere away from the house where no staff or guests will be. we’ve always found our fun in simple places like that Nov 10 22:03:01 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:03:06 Yes, we have Nov 10 22:03:13 * Molly smiles Nov 10 22:03:31 it is the partner and the desire that matters most Nov 10 22:04:11 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:04:13 Aye, you're right Nov 10 22:04:30 don’t worry so much, my love Nov 10 22:06:55 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:06:57 I will try Nov 10 22:07:38 I will just be happy to do it somewhere where the worst that happens if we get caught is a bit of servants gossip Nov 10 22:07:48 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:07:51 aye Nov 10 22:08:26 * Molly kisses his knuckles Nov 10 22:08:58 we will have more time and ease once our trips are done Nov 10 22:09:56 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:09:58 Aye, we will Nov 10 22:12:09 And then you can... *she sends him the image, her hands bound behind around a tree, dress undone with bared breasts, skirts pulled up as he roughly fingers her, a small puddle between her boots* Nov 10 22:13:25 * Morgan blushes hard, nodding Nov 10 22:14:34 * Molly smiles squeezing his hand Nov 10 22:14:53 best not leave it so long as winter though... Nov 10 22:15:02 No, probably not Nov 10 22:15:21 the steam, primarily... Nov 10 22:15:35 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:15:37 aye Nov 10 22:15:45 * Molly watches him Nov 10 22:15:54 I’ve embarrassed you too much? Nov 10 22:16:02 Uhhh... no, I'm ok Nov 10 22:16:13 your mind is elsewhere? Nov 10 22:16:28 No, not at all Nov 10 22:16:39 you seem distracted Nov 10 22:16:53 No, was just thinking I could probably deal with a frozen stream Nov 10 22:17:14 * Molly nods Nov 10 22:18:27 I’m sure you could, but also... *she shows him again, the tree leafless, her nipples pebbled from the cold, and her dress showing a small but clear pregnant belly* Nov 10 22:19:12 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:19:19 There is that of course Nov 10 22:19:50 * Molly nods Nov 10 22:20:05 I think it’s almost time to turn around Nov 10 22:20:19 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:20:22 I think you're right Nov 10 22:20:34 * Molly nods, smiling Nov 10 22:20:38 shall we? Nov 10 22:20:42 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:21:34 * Molly turns, walking back along the bank of the stream, looking happy and at ease Nov 10 22:23:42 * Morgan looks around as he wanders Nov 10 22:23:57 It would take quite some time to cover all this ground Nov 10 22:24:03 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:24:05 Yes, it would Nov 10 22:24:15 *Everything is peaceful, just stream and birds* Nov 10 22:25:15 we should have brought Ballard with us Nov 10 22:25:35 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:25:39 He'd have enjoyed this Nov 10 22:25:46 * Molly nods Nov 10 22:26:09 Maybe Quiet Hour walks might become something we do often? Nov 10 22:26:43 That'd be nice I think Nov 10 22:28:17 * Molly nods Nov 10 22:28:36 And if the mood takes you, he will obey your commands? Nov 10 22:28:50 Definitely Nov 10 22:30:05 * Molly nods Nov 10 22:30:09 and stand guard? Nov 10 22:30:23 He would, yes Nov 10 22:30:34 * Molly tilts her head, smiling Nov 10 22:30:39 Alright, my love Nov 10 22:31:53 I have told Alice she and I will play billiards later... Nov 10 22:32:07 That will be nice Nov 10 22:32:16 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:32:39 And then we’ll go to watch the stars? Nov 10 22:32:45 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:32:48 aye Nov 10 22:33:00 will you be leaving at dawn? Nov 10 22:33:28 I'd like to, but it rather depends on James and Elsie... and Uinise is not an early riser Nov 10 22:33:59 they can all sleep in the coach, unless Claudia and Uinise will be riding together... Nov 10 22:34:29 No... I'm going to insist she rides in the coach... I want Claudia keeping an eye out with me Nov 10 22:34:47 she’ll distract her? Nov 10 22:34:59 I would think so Nov 10 22:35:14 do I distract you when you ride behind me? Nov 10 22:35:36 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:36:20 And that would happen for Claudia even without having male parts for the pressure and friction? Nov 10 22:37:08 Reckon so, aye Nov 10 22:37:45 will it be odd being in Innesbruck without me? Nov 10 22:38:01 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:38:12 I reckon so, aye Nov 10 22:38:36 At least you’ll not be alone on your journeys Nov 10 22:39:03 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:39:10 Small mercies Nov 10 22:39:14 * Molly nods Nov 10 22:40:03 will you pick up more mirrors in Innesbruck to bring home, or have one half sent on to me? Nov 10 22:40:23 I thought I'd just pick them up Nov 10 22:40:56 * Molly nods Nov 10 22:41:12 and speak with my Father’s? Assuming you have time Nov 10 22:42:02 I'm not sure I will get time... there is a lot for me to do Nov 10 22:42:47 * Molly nods sadly Nov 10 22:43:12 perhaps keep it beside the bed and we can at least scribble each other notes at bed time? Nov 10 22:43:25 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:43:39 I'll probably ask to use mothers, since its already in the house... Nov 10 22:45:14 * Molly nods Nov 10 22:45:59 Alright liebling. Would you like me to take some time when we get back to discussing with the footman the preparing of the coach? Nov 10 22:46:12 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:46:16 Best had I suppose Nov 10 22:46:45 I need to be useful to this endeavour somehow. It is going to be hard not knowing you are well Nov 10 22:47:20 You'll know by the second night, I'll make sure to leave a note on mothers mirror Nov 10 22:48:33 * Molly nods Nov 10 22:48:45 thank you, I’d be most grateful if you wood Nov 10 22:48:48 would* Nov 10 22:49:30 I wondered what to do about church on Sunday... Nov 10 22:49:32 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:50:04 I was wondering if it would be best to wait until we are back, go together Nov 10 22:50:19 but I will be away the following Sunday Nov 10 22:51:30 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:51:33 I know Nov 10 22:52:19 The Sunday after I am home? Nov 10 22:52:25 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:52:42 Thats what I was thinking... unless you think that is too long to wait... I could take Varick... Nov 10 22:54:11 That would be the twenty fifth, with tha baptisms two days later Nov 10 22:54:53 Perhaps I should take Varick while you are away then... Nov 10 22:55:48 * Molly nods Nov 10 22:56:01 you would prefer us to not go this week? Nov 10 22:56:25 With it being me taking over the Grafdom, I don't think it would send the right message... Nov 10 22:56:37 Yes, my love. We will stay home Nov 10 22:56:44 Thank you blossom Nov 10 22:56:50 * Molly smiles Nov 10 22:57:18 You are my husband and the future Graf, these decisions are yours Nov 10 22:57:25 * Morgan nods Nov 10 22:59:31 * Molly walks beside him, just happily holding his hand as they walk the house they’ve waited so long to get to, getting near to where they’ll be visible to the house again Nov 10 22:59:54 I’ll see to your packing too. Will you be having a valet again? Nov 10 23:00:35 * Morgan sighs Nov 10 23:00:38 I suppose I should Nov 10 23:00:47 * Molly nods Nov 10 23:01:39 He will see to making sure your clothes are all perfect, and pack for you, and polish your boots and things, saving you time that you can then spend with me Nov 10 23:02:23 That is an acceptable outcome Nov 10 23:03:04 * Molly smiles Nov 10 23:03:15 mmhmm I do like that outcome Nov 10 23:03:23 * Morgan nods Nov 10 23:04:24 what will you be doing this afternoon? *he’s supposed to be seeing Claudia to take about her cottage* Nov 10 23:04:46 We need to talk with Claudia about where she wants her cottage... but I want to grab ten minutes with HeinzHarold first Nov 10 23:05:16 * Molly nods Nov 10 23:05:23 to show off your swords? Nov 10 23:05:32 Might be Nov 10 23:05:49 A pity you did not bring the God Stick, hmm? Nov 10 23:06:10 Didn't even get to play with it Nov 10 23:06:31 No, I know how frustrating that can be *she smirks* Nov 10 23:06:44 * Morgan nods Nov 10 23:07:00 Could you have the staff find me a couple of long nails and a hammer? Nov 10 23:07:17 of course. what for? Nov 10 23:08:00 I was thinking.. I'm going to retire my sword from the war, and thought I'd mount it on the wall in my office Nov 10 23:08:28 That’s a nice idea Nov 10 23:08:33 * Morgan nods Nov 10 23:08:38 I think so Nov 10 23:09:38 * Molly nods Nov 10 23:09:51 I’ll see to it Nov 10 23:10:22 * Morgan nods Nov 10 23:10:23 Thank you love Nov 10 23:10:29 * Molly nods Nov 10 23:10:44 One likes to be of service to Your Excellency Nov 10 23:12:07 * Morgan smiles Nov 10 23:12:09 Stop that Nov 10 23:12:22 What, Your Excellency? *she smirks* Nov 10 23:12:55 * Morgan rolls his eyes Nov 10 23:13:57 I will try not to say Your Excellency... Your Cuteness. *she makes a dash for the house, giggling * Nov 10 23:15:00 * Morgan huffs, following her Nov 10 23:16:00 *she gets in through a side door and out of sight. Then she disappears from his radar Nov 10 23:16:14 You're gonna have to pack that shit in Nov 10 23:17:12 *she doesn’t come back out* Nov 10 23:17:25 * Morgan gets near the door before casting about with his magic for heat sources Nov 10 23:18:12 *he can’t clearly sense her, it’s almost like he automatically skips past a point each time* Nov 10 23:18:36 * Morgan scowls, heading for the area he skips past Nov 10 23:19:14 *Even there he has to really concentrate on looking at the right spot before he sees her* Nov 10 23:19:36 I wanted to see if I could finally jump out at you! Nov 10 23:19:52 Not quite... not yet. Nov 10 23:20:07 I should keep trying? Nov 10 23:20:24 If you're going to do it after making fun of me, I shan't come looking Nov 10 23:20:41 * Molly looks upset Nov 10 23:20:47 I’m sorry, my love Nov 10 23:21:17 I've told you before, I don't like being needled like that Nov 10 23:21:27 * Molly nods Nov 10 23:21:42 I will do better Nov 10 23:21:52 * Morgan nods, kissing her gently Nov 10 23:22:35 * Molly holds him tightly “I know you must, but I really wish you weren’t going so soon” Nov 10 23:23:05 There is no choice in the matter... it needs to be done, and soon Nov 10 23:23:15 * Molly nods Nov 10 23:23:18 it does Nov 10 23:23:52 And we will manage fine here. We have Heinzharold, and the house runs smoothly Nov 10 23:25:20 * Morgan nods Nov 10 23:25:27 I'm sure it'll be just fine Nov 10 23:25:32 * Molly nods Nov 10 23:25:57 I will find someone for that nailing, and start sorting your bags Nov 10 23:26:07 Alright love, thank you Nov 10 23:26:30 * Molly nods, going off toward the main hall Nov 10 23:26:51 * Morgan rolls his shoulders before going up to HeinzHarolds room Nov 10 23:27:23 *He can hear happy, playful laughter from the couple Nov 10 23:27:32 * Morgan knocks on the door Nov 10 23:27:49 * Molly is now known as HH Nov 10 23:27:56 Come in, man Nov 10 23:28:21 * Morgan goes into the room Nov 10 23:28:36 Just coming to ask your wife if you're allowed out to play for ten minutes Nov 10 23:28:50 *Inga is laid on her back, head on a pillow. Heinzharold has his head on her lower belly* Nov 10 23:29:34 I: Yes, you can take him, I’m done with him *she smiles* Nov 10 23:30:00 I'll take him to play for a bit, then he's your problem again Nov 10 23:30:07 * HH grins “Thirteen hours and she’ll have definitely changed her tune!” Nov 10 23:30:32 about... three am? Nov 10 23:31:28 *Inga pushes his head off her stomach* Go on, Heinzharold
