**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Nov 13 07:28:58 2023 Nov 13 07:28:58 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Nov 13 07:47:46 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Nov 13 07:47:55 * Molly is now known as Claudia Nov 13 07:48:10 Uinise will want to come Nov 13 07:48:34 * Morgan nods a little Nov 13 07:48:35 Alright Nov 13 07:51:59 * Claudia nods, smiling a little as she watches the rain Nov 13 07:52:43 it’ll be an experience Nov 13 07:52:59 * Morgan nods, sipping his whiskey Nov 13 07:53:11 Its fairly quiet here though Nov 13 07:54:24 it seems like a good place to start Nov 13 07:54:40 * Morgan nods Nov 13 07:56:00 I miss Heinzharold though. He loves a good tavern Nov 13 07:57:02 Thats an awfully open thing for you to say Nov 13 07:58:51 * Claudia nods Nov 13 07:58:54 I’m trying Nov 13 07:59:03 * Morgan nods Nov 13 07:59:13 Good... you're doing good Nov 13 07:59:22 * Claudia nods Nov 13 07:59:38 what about you? have you written that letter home yet? Nov 13 07:59:56 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 13 08:00:06 No... not yet. I wouldn't know where to start Nov 13 08:02:18 * Claudia nods, sitting herself down without an invite, using his home as her home, as she always has Nov 13 08:02:56 I suppose it depends what sort of letter you want to write. what would she like? Nov 13 08:03:20 Realistically, she'd probably just be happy I thought to Nov 13 08:03:42 romantic, not erotic? Nov 13 08:04:06 * Morgan shrugs Nov 13 08:04:11 Either probably Nov 13 08:04:24 * Claudia nods Nov 13 08:04:41 I’ve never written either Nov 13 08:04:52 No? Nov 13 08:05:39 The men I’ve been with didn’t warrant it, and the women have either been one offs or Hannalore Nov 13 08:05:56 She had no interest in it? Nov 13 08:08:19 she was married. what could I even risk saying? Nov 13 08:09:21 * Morgan nods, nodding toward the ceiling Nov 13 08:09:25 What about her? Nov 13 08:10:23 I haven’t been away from her yet Nov 13 08:11:10 * Morgan nods Nov 13 08:12:17 maybe she’d be more help? She’s read a lot of those books Molly and Inga read Nov 13 08:13:00 * Morgan shrugs Nov 13 08:13:05 perhaps Nov 13 08:14:08 want me to get her, or you going to try to do it yourself? Nov 13 08:14:30 * Morgan sighs Nov 13 08:14:38 Its a bit.... Intimate, isn't it Nov 13 08:18:18 what, asking Uinise? Nov 13 08:18:27 * Morgan nods Nov 13 08:19:08 what would Molly write to you? maybe that’d tell you what to write Nov 13 08:19:37 That varies wildly from sweet and tender to absolute filth Nov 13 08:19:45 * Claudia laughs Nov 13 08:20:03 I still find it hard to believe, even after the tavern and stuff Nov 13 08:20:16 * Morgan nods Nov 13 08:20:18 So do I some days Nov 13 08:21:11 maybe you’d be better to stick to sweet and tender, I definitely can’t imagine you could write anything smutty Nov 13 08:21:56 Probably wise Nov 13 08:24:40 what about if I go and get the information out of Uinise without saying -why- I’m asking? Nov 13 08:25:18 But... she'll get ideas... Nov 13 08:25:56 No, that requires reading between the lines and making assumptions about other people’s motivations Nov 13 08:26:39 But she's trying to do just that.. Nov 13 08:28:51 * Claudia nods Nov 13 08:29:06 so maybe I’ll have to learn to do it to, if we last Nov 13 08:29:17 * Morgan nods Nov 13 08:29:18 True Nov 13 08:30:57 * Claudia stands Nov 13 08:31:09 give me ten minutes Nov 13 08:31:17 * Morgan nods Nov 13 08:31:18 alright Nov 13 08:31:49 * Claudia goes. Double that time elapses, then triple, before Claudia knocks again Nov 13 08:32:04 come Nov 13 08:32:18 * Claudia comes and sits back down Nov 13 08:32:23 Sorry Nov 13 08:32:36 Get distracted did you? Nov 13 08:33:12 uhh yeah Nov 13 08:34:03 * Morgan nods Nov 13 08:34:06 Thought you might Nov 13 08:34:33 I don’t get it. I didn’t plan it, and then suddenly, it just happens Nov 13 08:35:37 * Morgan nods Nov 13 08:35:45 Yeah, that happens when its not just sex Nov 13 08:36:29 she said in books they either write about a memory from the past, how they feel in the moment, or about something they want to do in the future Nov 13 08:37:09 * Morgan nods, frowning Nov 13 08:38:31 what? Nov 13 08:38:40 Why is it so bloody complex? Nov 13 08:39:12 because women are complex. if it was a man, you could just draw your manhood and send it to him. Nov 13 08:39:38 * Morgan sighs Nov 13 08:39:42 Awkward buggers Nov 13 08:39:46 * Claudia smiles Nov 13 08:40:03 you could draw that and it would serve for all three of those Nov 13 08:40:34 * Morgan pulls a face Nov 13 08:40:48 I don't know, my point of view isn't the most attractive Nov 13 08:40:56 * Claudia laughs Nov 13 08:41:37 Maybe you could draw her though, and send it. Just write something like “thinking of you” or whatever? Nov 13 08:41:46 * Morgan blushes Nov 13 08:41:52 Yeah... could do... Nov 13 08:44:32 might be easier for you, and you can make it as sweet or lewd as you like then Nov 13 08:45:04 * Morgan nods Nov 13 08:45:08 Thats a good idea Nov 13 08:46:39 * Claudia nods Nov 13 08:46:57 we have to have them ourselves without Heinzharold Nov 13 08:47:28 Thats twice you've been nice about him Nov 13 08:48:34 sickening, isn’t it Nov 13 08:49:54 Frightening to be honest Nov 13 08:51:17 * Claudia nods Nov 13 08:51:35 yeah Nov 13 08:53:48 * Morgan nods Nov 13 08:53:53 We'll go after dinner? Nov 13 08:54:24 * Claudia nods Nov 13 08:54:44 leaving James and Elsie with their family? Nov 13 08:54:50 * Morgan nods Nov 13 08:55:04 I doubt they'd notice if we're around or not Nov 13 08:55:14 * Claudia nods Nov 13 08:55:20 a bit domestic for me Nov 13 08:55:37 * Morgan nods Nov 13 08:55:55 I know. They're very sweet though Nov 13 08:58:22 * Claudia nods Nov 13 08:58:48 How are you doing with Dietlinde’s cousin being pregnant? Nov 13 08:59:04 * Morgan shrugs Nov 13 08:59:20 Its a bit difficult... I still don't entirely trust Heinrich, y'know/ Nov 13 09:00:23 * Claudia nods Nov 13 09:00:54 he really fucked up with Alarice Nov 13 09:01:01 Yeah, he did Nov 13 09:03:57 But let’s be fair, none of us saw what she was. Most would have thought her beautiful Nov 13 09:05:31 * Morgan nods Nov 13 09:05:36 No, that is true Nov 13 09:07:12 if she threw herself at him like she did at you, he would have taken her up on it. most men would Nov 13 09:07:59 You reckon? Nov 13 09:08:59 * Claudia nods Nov 13 09:09:09 Most men are stupid once aroused Nov 13 09:09:23 I suppose so Nov 13 09:09:32 You don’t think? Nov 13 09:10:28 * Morgan shrugs Nov 13 09:10:33 I've never really considered it Nov 13 09:12:38 it’s like any good sense they did have disappears Nov 13 09:12:53 * Morgan nods Nov 13 09:13:05 Are they not just. Stupid? Nov 13 09:16:37 men in general? Nov 13 09:17:40 * Morgan nods Nov 13 09:17:41 yeah Nov 13 09:18:52 okay, stupider then Nov 13 09:18:58 * Morgan nods Nov 13 09:21:36 He’s still an idiot Nov 13 09:21:47 * Morgan nods Nov 13 09:21:55 Because he's a man? Nov 13 09:22:23 Because of picking Alarice over Inga, not that I’m particularly attracted to Inga Nov 13 09:22:49 Too tall for you Nov 13 09:24:06 * Claudia nods, smiling Nov 13 09:24:29 Did you know some people -really- enjoy having their belly buttons touches? Nov 13 09:24:46 Thats... convenient for you... Nov 13 09:25:30 * Claudia nods Nov 13 09:25:37 lucky, isn’t it? Nov 13 09:25:53 * Morgan nods Nov 13 09:25:56 Very Nov 13 09:26:11 Most people are just a little ticklish, if anything Nov 13 09:27:10 But not her... Nov 13 09:28:15 no Nov 13 09:28:34 Very convenient then... Nov 13 09:28:49 you think it’s faked? Nov 13 09:31:09 I don't think she's the devious sort... and thats a bit too niche for her to have come up with Nov 13 09:32:08 * Claudia nods Nov 13 09:32:24 it is a bit Nov 13 09:32:42 * Morgan nods Nov 13 09:34:45 Do you need some time to draw before dinner? Nov 13 09:37:50 * Morgan nods Nov 13 09:37:53 Best had Nov 13 09:39:03 * Claudia nods, getting up to go “good luck” Nov 13 09:39:32 * Morgan inclines his head, going to find supplies before starting to draw Nov 13 09:40:56 *the drumming rain helps with the peace to do so, leaving him to work out what to create, knowing that if it is finished he can get it sent in the morning, and she will receive it before he checks the mirror tomorrow in Sudlachenburg* Nov 13 09:41:45 * Morgan works hard on it Nov 13 09:43:45 *the bells rings for dinner before he has finished* Nov 13 09:44:09 * Morgan swears, wrapping it and packing it safely away before going for dinner Nov 13 09:45:01 *Even the children are at the table, At some point during his sketching, Heinrich has turned up* Nov 13 09:46:53 * Morgan gets settled at the table Nov 13 09:47:43 * Claudia is now known as Heinrich Nov 13 09:47:54 How were your adventures, my Lord? Nov 13 09:48:55 *Hildegarde and the others have already put food on the table, covered with silver coverings, waiting for Morgan to start. This new situation of being expected to eat first seems set to continue* Nov 13 09:49:04 Quite unbelievable... Nov 13 09:49:20 * Morgan starts to eat Nov 13 09:50:29 Hil: Would you tell us all about Capperlucia? Nov 13 09:51:53 * Morgan sips his drink Nov 13 09:52:03 *everyone else starts to eat* Nov 13 09:52:13 Its... well, first, the skies are patrolled by dragons. Nov 13 09:52:36 C: $A Capperlucian at their table, but it’s you they want to hear it from!$ Nov 13 09:52:52 Rickon: Dragons aren’t real Nov 13 09:53:05 $It is a bit odd.$ Nov 13 09:53:09 * Morgan nods Nov 13 09:53:20 Thats what I thought, but... I was wrong. Nov 13 09:53:35 Jacques: Did you see one? Nov 13 09:53:47 * Morgan smiles slightly Nov 13 09:54:54 You could say that... it turns out that a friend I made in Avalon is actually part of the royal family, he was looking for his wife... we managed to find her and took her home, so... we were afforded a few more benefits than most visitors Nov 13 09:56:30 *Everyone listens, the only sounds being the gentle rocking of the baby in the crib by Elsie’s foot* Nov 13 09:58:36 So, this huge dragon comes flying out to meet the ship, make sure we're not a threat... which, against a dragon, we definitely aren't. We managed to send word we had the queen aboard, and were welcomed at the dock. The Capperlucians are a very open people. They say what they feel and are quite expressive, and very welcoming Nov 13 09:59:13 *Uinise looks happy about this praise* Nov 13 09:59:31 It would have been understandable for the not to have wanted visitors Nov 13 09:59:39 * Morgan nods Nov 13 10:00:25 Absolutely. I don't necessarily agree with all their social policies but... there's no denying they are at peace, and very happy Nov 13 10:01:45 Hil: Is it really as warm as you thought? Nov 13 10:01:54 * Morgan pulls a face Nov 13 10:01:56 hotter Nov 13 10:04:40 Walder: Never a fan of heat myself, I’ve not got the build for it Nov 13 10:04:59 U: Oh! there are lots of heavy-set men at home, you would be fine Nov 13 10:06:02 *Claudia closes her eyes a moment. The others all look a bit shocked, except Rickon who, like Heinzharold, is struggling not to laugh* Nov 13 10:07:09 She doesn't mean that as any sort of insult... like I said, a very open and... direct people.. Nov 13 10:07:33 *Walder laughs* Simple, like a sword is simple Nov 13 10:07:57 * Morgan nods Nov 13 10:08:01 Exactly. Nov 13 10:08:16 Hil: does it rain there? Nov 13 10:08:32 Does it, Uinise? Nov 13 10:09:05 U: Once or twice a year we have light rain for a day. I’ve never seen weather like this Nov 13 10:09:47 Hil: it must make drying clothes easier Nov 13 10:10:05 C: $if what they wear even counts as clothes!$ Nov 13 10:11:03 $Fairly sure its negligee$ Nov 13 10:11:41 Clothes there are... well, its basically small skirts... and the women wear something for modesty on their torso's... Nov 13 10:13:21 *the two boys start blushing, even Walder does a little* Nov 13 10:13:44 * Heinrich smiles “I suppose if it is so hot” Nov 13 10:13:58 Hot enough that even I went shirtless Nov 13 10:14:47 * Heinrich , his former valet, a man who has despite that occupation still never seen his former master shirtless, looks surprised Nov 13 10:14:54 You’re never shirtless Nov 13 10:15:11 * Morgan nods Nov 13 10:15:45 Indeed. But its just too hot there... and... I was making a conscious effort. Nov 13 10:25:04 Jacques: Did Varick get to play in the sand? Nov 13 10:25:15 * Morgan nods Nov 13 10:25:53 We had a little house right by the beach, with a little lake and a waterfall... Nov 13 10:28:25 Jacques: I’ve never been on a beach Nov 13 10:28:46 Sand gets -everywhere- Nov 13 10:28:54 Rickon: Me neither *he only takes the briefest break in his eating to say it* Nov 13 10:29:25 * Heinrich smiles “I imagine so, my Lord” Nov 13 10:29:56 * Morgan nods Nov 13 10:30:28 HeinzHarold and I went to see the dragons on their little island... we only saw one but it was -enormous- Nov 13 10:32:45 Jacques looks completely awed by this idea: how big was it? Nov 13 10:33:23 -huge-. Nov 13 10:34:37 Rickon: As big as a horse? Nov 13 10:34:47 Oh much much bigger Nov 13 10:35:02 Rickon: A big as a house? Nov 13 10:35:16 * Morgan nods Nov 13 10:35:19 A normal one, yes Nov 13 10:35:31 *both the boys look impressed* Nov 13 10:35:46 Hildegarde: was it tamed? Nov 13 10:36:31 I don't think they're tamed as such...they follow the commands of the royal family, but... I'm not sure they're really -tame- Nov 13 10:37:57 Uinise shakes her head: They can be dangerous. They are still wild life Nov 13 10:38:55 * Morgan smiles slightly Nov 13 10:38:57 Like Xantha Nov 13 10:40:58 Rickon: We’ve looked after Varick’s pony, my Lord Nov 13 10:41:05 * Morgan smiles Nov 13 10:41:16 He's looking forward to having him to ride now we're home Nov 13 10:41:51 Jacques: Can we really come to Varick’s baptism and stay? Nov 13 10:42:34 * Morgan nods Nov 13 10:42:56 You are his friends, thats what he wants. Thinking, if the weathers not too bad, we can set up some tents... Nov 13 10:44:09 Rickon: I like camping, Heinrich and I did some camping last week Nov 13 10:45:03 Oh yes? Nov 13 10:46:26 * Heinrich nods “Rickon would have made a fine camp master in the army” Nov 13 10:48:35 * Morgan smiles Nov 13 10:48:49 How are you feeling about being a big brother, Rickon? Nov 13 10:49:12 Rickon: It’ll be alright if it’s a boy Nov 13 10:49:48 * Heinrich and Hildegarde smile at each other as if they’ve heard this before. They look happy, bonded Nov 13 10:49:55 * Morgan nods Nov 13 10:50:06 A brother isn't too bad... Nov 13 10:50:40 Rickon: *he shrugs casually* If it’s a girl I’m giving her to the gypsies. Nov 13 10:51:03 Hildegarde: Rickon! Nov 13 10:51:33 Rickon grins: Mama, it’s Morgan, he knows I’m kidding! Nov 13 10:52:39 They won't take her anyway, I keep trying to give them Claudia but they always say no Nov 13 10:53:08 Rickon: Maybe They’re scared Nov 13 10:53:51 If they're sensible... Nov 13 10:53:56 *Claudia watches Morgan, then the child, who doesn’t look at all scared of her* Nov 13 10:54:16 Rickon looks at Morgan: Wouldn’t give my sister away... probably worth a couple of guilders *he winks* Nov 13 10:54:50 $He remind you of anyone?$ Nov 13 10:55:54 C: $yeah... he’s got a big mouth for a small boy, he’s going to need to learn to be careful with that$ Nov 13 10:56:06 $He'll do fine$ Nov 13 10:56:26 Anyway... I got a bit closer to the dragons than most Nov 13 10:56:50 Jacques: how close?! Nov 13 10:57:34 * Morgan rummages in his pocket before putting the scale on the table Nov 13 10:57:38 That close Nov 13 10:59:03 *everyone looks at it* Nov 13 10:59:15 Rickon: is that off the dragon?! Nov 13 10:59:40 * Morgan nods, having them pass it down to Rickon Nov 13 10:59:46 Yes it is Nov 13 11:00:17 *Rickon looks it over* This is really good Nov 13 11:00:26 * Morgan nods Nov 13 11:00:40 Let Jacques have a look too... Nov 13 11:02:25 *Rickon does so. Jacques looks even more impressed* Did it bite you when you pulled it? Nov 13 11:02:42 I didn't pull it... I think if it bit me I'd be in two pieces Nov 13 11:04:42 *everyone laughs* Nov 13 11:04:54 How did you get it? do they shed like dogs? Nov 13 11:05:28 No... I got up close to it, like, my hand on it close... and it turned and pulled it out and dropped it in my lap Nov 13 11:06:35 Jacques: That’s so lucky! Nov 13 11:06:53 * Morgan nods Nov 13 11:07:10 The queens family get to ride them Nov 13 11:08:42 Rickon: how can you ride something as big as a house? Nov 13 11:09:06 They've got saddles that fit on their backs... Nov 13 11:10:33 Jacques: Did you see them fly? Nov 13 11:11:06 * Morgan sips his drink Nov 13 11:11:14 Did I, Uinise? Nov 13 11:12:33 Uinise nods: We all saw them Nov 13 11:12:45 * Morgan nods Nov 13 11:12:55 I saw it close up on the last night there... there was a big party Nov 13 11:13:19 Hildegarde: Was it like a ball? Nov 13 11:13:44 A bit more like... the shadow fayre, but on a massive scale... Nov 13 11:14:32 You missed a good one this year, my Lord Nov 13 11:14:52 * Morgan nods Nov 13 11:15:01 I'll be there next year Nov 13 11:16:57 We’ll be joining you, Sascha and Otto have invited us Nov 13 11:17:49 Hildegarde: It would be nice to have you there, Morgan Nov 13 11:18:09 * Morgan nods Nov 13 11:18:16 Its been a long time since I've been Nov 13 11:19:29 *the only thing that could prevent him is his niece or nephew coming in February, the Shadowfayre the final day of January. But so far, only he and Molly know of it* Nov 13 11:20:39 Jacques: how many dragons are there? Nov 13 11:20:58 Three... Nov 13 11:24:17 U: Our people have documented more in our history, but once they leave they are never seen again Nov 13 11:24:49 Sometimes one will leave, and another will come and take its place... thats right isn't it? Nov 13 11:25:17 U: We always have one male and two females, but never any offspring Nov 13 11:25:56 Walder: Gotta be some somewhere, or there’d never be new dragons to come back Nov 13 11:26:09 * Morgan nods Nov 13 11:26:11 indeed Nov 13 11:26:51 U: some people believe there are more lands, much further south of us, but no one has ever gone there. Nov 13 11:28:05 James: With a climate that only rains twice a year, you couldn’t store enough fresh water to survive once your crew had run out of drink, and fish will only do you for so long Nov 13 11:28:28 * Morgan nods Nov 13 11:28:39 You'd need an exceptionally fast ship to go looking Nov 13 11:28:54 $tempting... Nov 13 11:29:03 $Isn't it...$ Nov 13 11:29:32 $could be the best part of a year though, and risky as hell$ Nov 13 11:30:12 $Not something to consider right now$ Nov 13 11:30:14 Rickon: It’d have to be big, to store all your drink Nov 13 11:30:33 If only we had a really big, really fast ship... Nov 13 11:30:40 Jacques: But you might get scurvy, then you’d all die Nov 13 11:30:52 $you’d need a healer$ Nov 13 11:31:08 * Morgan nods Nov 13 11:31:45 C: *she starts to smile faintly* $take Varick and Florrie, you could be Noah$ Nov 13 11:33:24 * Morgan smiles slightly Nov 13 11:34:27 Wouldn't want that Nov 13 11:34:55 U: We know about scurvy, our people do not get it Nov 13 11:36:10 *the present thinking is that it comes from too long at sea and lifestyles that are too dirty and immoral, only affecting sailors* Nov 13 11:36:31 Well... you don't sail, so that makes sense Nov 13 11:37:12 U: No, our doctors have studied it. It is because you do not eat fruits and vegetables Nov 13 11:37:49 *Claudia frowns slightly* $that actually makes sense...$ Nov 13 11:38:15 $It... does$ Nov 13 11:38:28 We don't.... Its hard to get them at sea... Nov 13 11:39:55 *Uinise nods* Nov 13 11:40:03 Rickon: Potatoes. Nov 13 11:40:23 * Morgan closes his eyes a moment Nov 13 11:40:39 What about potatoes? Nov 13 11:40:42 Walder nods: I think he’s right Nov 13 11:41:26 Rickon: They don’t need light. fill massive trunks with soil, grow them, eat them. Nov 13 11:41:54 that... makes a lot of sense actually Nov 13 11:42:39 James: You could desalinate water if you needed to to water them. It does take a lot of fuel though Nov 13 11:42:55 C: $not for you it doesn’t $ Nov 13 11:43:21 $Stop trying to tempt me$ Nov 13 11:44:12 * Morgan nods Nov 13 11:44:20 Definitely something to consider... Nov 13 11:45:43 $maybe one day, when your kids are all grown, and it’s just you and Molly again* Nov 13 11:45:52 $Maybe$ Nov 13 11:47:43 *They talk more about Capperlucia, the landscape, the food, the harmony of the people, but there’s no denying that pull in him for the sea again, and the thoughts of Molly, older, but still so beautiful to him, exploring a land even further than anyone has ever gone* Nov 13 11:48:51 Me sighs quietly, finishing his food Nov 13 11:49:07 Do you want to look at the ledgers tonight, my Lord? Nov 13 11:49:55 Best had, I'm wanting an early start tomorrow Nov 13 11:50:10 I’ll take them home and then come back Nov 13 11:50:23 * Morgan nods, thanking him Nov 13 11:50:39 C: $want us to go to the tavern without you?$ Nov 13 11:50:57 $No, it shouldn't take long$ Nov 13 11:53:17 *Jacques, Walder, Theresa, James and Elsie all go to clear up from dinner, and he says goodbye to Hildegarde and Rickon. The woman does smell pregnant for sure, but again, it doesn’t stir him. The physical contact does make him miss his wife though* Nov 13 11:53:31 Hil: we’ll see you at the end of the month Nov 13 11:54:03 * Morgan nods Nov 13 11:54:09 I look forward to seeing you Nov 13 11:56:24 *Rickon sticks his hand out to shake Morgan* Good trip, old boy *he grins* Nov 13 11:56:49 *Hildegarde looks exasperated by this* Nov 13 11:57:29 * Morgan grins, shaking the boys hand Nov 13 11:57:33 See you soon chap Nov 13 12:00:17 *Hildegarde leads her son out, and Heinrich follows with assurances of a prompt return, leaving Morgan in the hall with Claudia and Uinise, the latter of whom looks puzzled Nov 13 12:00:22 * Heinrich is now known as Uinise Nov 13 12:00:47 I do not understand the conversations you have with that boy Nov 13 12:01:17 No? Why? Nov 13 12:02:48 You are his Freiarr, but sometimes he talks as if you were also a boy Nov 13 12:03:45 Having people be comfortable enough to talk to me is very important to me.. and in his case, he is... well, his mother is my late wifes cousin, so we are kin. Nov 13 12:05:24 I thought your people valued formality Nov 13 12:05:47 Oh they do, very much so... Nov 13 12:06:34 But you do not Nov 13 12:06:56 C: $she’s finally realising you’re not normal$ Nov 13 12:07:00 It varies... Nov 13 12:07:07 $It would appear so$ Nov 13 12:07:45 C: $maybe I’ll tell her you informally fucked Molly in his Grace’s stables$ Nov 13 12:08:31 $You would't'$ Nov 13 12:08:55 *Claudia grins briefly* $sure about that?$ Nov 13 12:09:56 $Not as sure as I was a moment ago$ Nov 13 12:11:28 C: We’re going to a tavern soon, Uinise Nov 13 12:12:32 * Uinise smiles at Claudia, the words sounding surprisingly loaded for a Capperlucian “It will be my first time” Nov 13 12:12:49 *Claudia blushes slightly* Nov 13 12:12:59 * Morgan smiles, looking away Nov 13 12:13:06 I need to finish this sketch before Heinrich gets back Nov 13 12:13:27 What are you drawing? I would like to see your work Nov 13 12:13:36 C: $uh oh$ Nov 13 12:14:09 Not in this case, Uinise. It is private, for Molly... once we get back to Hafenlohr, though, I'll show you my sketchbooks Nov 13 12:14:25 * Uinise nods Nov 13 12:14:30 I’d like that Nov 13 12:14:52 $smooth, right?$ Nov 13 12:15:07 Perhaps... I'll draw you... Nov 13 12:15:10 C: $I didn’t know you had it in you$ Nov 13 12:15:27 $What?$ Nov 13 12:15:38 $being smooth$ Nov 13 12:15:49 If you would like to Nov 13 12:15:57 $Practice for dealing with noble idiots$ Nov 13 12:16:01 * Morgan nods Nov 13 12:16:05 I think so Nov 13 12:17:39 $after starting with the common idiot, Heinzharold?$ Nov 13 12:18:04 $Back to normal$ Nov 13 12:18:21 C: Let us know when you’re ready $Yeah, I’m spent$ Nov 13 12:19:34 $Bellybuttons will do that$ Nov 13 12:19:35 * Morgan nods Nov 13 12:19:37 Will do Nov 13 12:20:23 * Uinise and Claudia go to find coffee Nov 13 12:21:20 * Morgan goes to get on with his drawing Nov 13 12:21:58 ((what is he drawing?)) Nov 13 12:23:10 *the knock on the door comes as he is just starting to draw the line of his release that had hit her cheek* Nov 13 12:25:18 * Morgan sighs, packing it away before calling for them to enter Nov 13 12:26:16 * Uinise is now known as Heinrich Nov 13 12:27:45 * Heinrich comes in with the books, and they get down to the business of the ledgers. Everything looks good, Innesbruck is doing well now, and the last set of rents at three-quarters of their full cost were paid perfectly, meaning the summer’s payment should now be back up to its fair cost Nov 13 12:28:18 * Morgan nods, satisfied Nov 13 12:28:27 Doing well... any problems? Nov 13 12:30:01 None at all. I am ashamed of my disapproval over this rents scheme, it’s turned out very well Nov 13 12:30:42 * Morgan nods Nov 13 12:31:00 She's an intelligent woman Nov 13 12:32:39 * Heinrich nods, fetching them whiskeys before saying “how is married life, my Lord?” Nov 13 12:33:08 I am a lot more... settled... than I was. Calmer. Nov 13 12:34:36 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 12:34:58 Are you happier? Nov 13 12:35:22 * Morgan nods Nov 13 12:35:25 Much Nov 13 12:35:36 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 12:35:52 Fatherhood again too Nov 13 12:36:59 * Morgan nods Nov 13 12:37:07 Hildegarde told you? Nov 13 12:37:13 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 12:37:28 Congratulations, my Lord Nov 13 12:38:16 * Morgan inclines his head Nov 13 12:38:31 He's a sweet lad... he's being baptised with Varick Nov 13 12:39:31 * Heinrich smiles Nov 13 12:39:40 We look forward to attending Nov 13 12:40:06 Varick has very much missed Rickon and Jacques Nov 13 12:40:14 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 12:40:35 They’ve become close, but they talk about Varick often, my Lord Nov 13 12:40:44 * Heinrich drinks some whiskey Nov 13 12:40:58 * Morgan nods Nov 13 12:41:24 It was a long time at sea... I hope they can strengthen their bond now we have returned and aren't -that- far away Nov 13 12:42:45 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 12:43:23 Hildegarde and I will happily have Varick visit us, and we can stay here if you think the farm is too rural Nov 13 12:44:16 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 13 12:45:03 I think the farm would be perfect... it'd do him good to get his hands dirty Nov 13 12:45:35 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 12:46:22 We’ll have a baby in August, so before that would suit, or then in the winter. I want Hildegarde to rest afterwards Nov 13 12:46:35 * Morgan nods Nov 13 12:46:44 Of course... you have made arrangements with a midwife? Nov 13 12:46:54 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 12:46:58 we have Nov 13 12:48:22 * Morgan nods Nov 13 12:48:41 Good... I daresay Molly might wish to have some involvement... Nov 13 12:49:06 why? Nov 13 12:49:52 She's the best medic I know... Nov 13 12:50:28 I’ll talk to Hildegarde about it Nov 13 12:50:43 * Morgan nods Nov 13 12:50:57 She was. Instrumental in saving Elsie and Thomas Nov 13 12:52:01 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 12:52:21 As I said, my Lord, I’ll see what Hildegarde thinks Nov 13 12:52:36 * Morgan nods Nov 13 12:52:39 Of course Nov 13 12:53:07 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 12:53:43 Will you be hoping for your latest to grow some before having another, my Lord? Nov 13 12:54:08 I'd like to have a chid on the way before the year is out but.... That is up to Theus Nov 13 12:56:04 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 12:56:30 It always is. I wasn’t expecting to be in anticipation of a happy event so quickly Nov 13 12:56:40 * Morgan nods Nov 13 12:56:46 It did surprise me somewhat Nov 13 12:57:43 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 12:57:58 It wasn’t pre-emotive, just immediate Nov 13 12:58:10 emptive* Nov 13 12:58:20 That thought did not cross my mind Nov 13 12:58:25 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 12:58:44 I’ve not given you good cause to trust my decency in the past Nov 13 12:59:18 Perhaps... but... as was pointed out to me, no-one saw what Alarice really was... Nov 13 13:01:27 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 13:01:46 Is Inga happy? Nov 13 13:04:50 Deliriously. Nov 13 13:06:15 * Heinrich smiles Nov 13 13:06:28 it’s good Nov 13 13:15:10 * Morgan nods Nov 13 13:15:16 We've started work on their house Nov 13 13:16:09 Walder said you’d invited him to live there too Nov 13 13:16:31 * Morgan nods Nov 13 13:16:52 How rethinks progressing for him? Nov 13 13:18:52 Him and Theresa, you mean? Nov 13 13:19:03 * Morgan nods Nov 13 13:19:09 They seem much closer... Nov 13 13:19:15 * Heinrich sips his whiskey Nov 13 13:19:51 I’ve never seen an inappropriate thing between them, but plenty of little things that say there’s a romance there Nov 13 13:20:07 * Morgan nods Nov 13 13:20:25 I wonder if they've admitted it to themselves yet Nov 13 13:21:51 Something tells me James is the key, actually Nov 13 13:21:56 Oh? Nov 13 13:22:27 She’s got no father or brother, so whose permission should he ask? Nov 13 13:22:55 Oh... ye of course. You think it -that- serious? Nov 13 13:23:05 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 13:23:22 Walder hasn’t even looked at a woman since his wife died, until now Nov 13 13:23:28 * Morgan nods Nov 13 13:23:31 I know how that goes Nov 13 13:26:14 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 13:26:37 He’s both the sort for dallying or brothels, he’s the marrying type Nov 13 13:27:42 * Morgan nods Nov 13 13:27:47 Knew I liked him Nov 13 13:28:26 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 13:28:42 He’s a good man, it’ll be a shame if he goes Nov 13 13:28:59 * Morgan nods Nov 13 13:29:33 Perhaps he won't... perhaps the staff I have at Hafenlohr won't need extra... Nov 13 13:29:54 But her grandson will be there... Nov 13 13:30:27 Its only a days ride Nov 13 13:31:31 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 13:31:38 it is true Nov 13 13:32:49 I suppose I half expected Theres to want to move with him Nov 13 13:33:41 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 13:33:49 You’d have to ask them, my Lord Nov 13 13:34:05 * Morgan nods Nov 13 13:34:18 Let them get the situation in hand first Nov 13 13:35:07 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 13:35:30 There’ll be time at the baptisms? Nov 13 13:35:53 For? Nov 13 13:37:14 Finding out where they stand Nov 13 13:37:33 * Morgan nods Nov 13 13:37:37 I expect so Nov 13 13:39:32 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 13:39:45 Are you happy the ledgers are in order? Nov 13 13:39:57 * Morgan nods Nov 13 13:40:04 The people seem happy too Nov 13 13:41:49 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 13:41:53 They are Nov 13 13:42:15 Then I am happy. Well done, Heinrich Nov 13 13:43:07 Thank you, my Lord Nov 13 13:43:18 * Morgan nods Nov 13 13:43:39 We'd happily host Rickon at Hafenlohr too... Nov 13 13:44:25 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 13:44:41 He’d enjoy the change of scenery Nov 13 13:44:52 * Morgan nods Nov 13 13:45:10 Right... I'm going to take Claudia and Uinise into the town to visit a tavern Nov 13 13:46:29 * Heinrich nods Nov 13 13:46:41 I’m walking that way. The rain has stopped Nov 13 13:47:06 * Morgan nods, getting himself ready and calling for Claudia Nov 13 13:50:34 * Heinrich gets his own coat, and they all head out in the darkness, nearly nine already. The children would be fast asleep, Molly probably having has dinner with Heinzharold, Inga, and Alice. Maybe Alice has taught Molly to play billiards? Maybe he’d wanted to do that, stood behind her for the excuse of a bit of public touching... Soon she’d be going to bed alone, and so would he Nov 13 13:51:10 * Morgan wanders along, gazing at the ground Nov 13 13:52:47 *Uinise is chatting to Heinrich all about his life, and Claudia moves beside Morgan with a simple “okay?” Nov 13 13:53:05 * Morgan nods Nov 13 13:53:08 just... missing them Nov 13 13:55:26 *Claudia nods* Let’s have a drink, take your mind off it Nov 13 13:55:31 * Morgan nods Nov 13 13:55:32 Yeah Nov 13 13:57:51 * Heinrich goes with them for a quick one, and drinks his Blokners whilst conversing with the locals. Everyone wants to chat with Morgan too, and so he only briefly sees Heinrich wave on the way out. Meanwhile, people insist on buying him drinks, so he has four more pints of Blokners waiting on the table, enough to get him nicely merry. Nov 13 13:58:23 * Morgan chats to the people Nov 13 14:00:30 *People are doing well. Claudia stays sat with Uinise, and people chat to them too, though really it is Uinise talking and Claudia looking a little protective. There’s music too, plenty of singing. By the time Morgan is down to his last pint, Henning comes over with another “Good evening, milord” Nov 13 14:01:59 Henning, good to see you Nov 13 14:03:46 * Heinrich is now known as Henning Nov 13 14:03:55 How are the family, milord? Nov 13 14:04:43 Very well... pleased to be back in Eisen and on dry land Nov 13 14:06:03 * Henning nods, handing him the next pint Nov 13 14:06:18 Did you get your new estate, milord? Nov 13 14:07:14 * Morgan nods Nov 13 14:07:32 Hafenlohr, yes... a days ride from here. Got a bird like you've never seen Nov 13 14:08:55 That’s what I wanted to speak to you about, milord Nov 13 14:09:01 Oh? Nov 13 14:09:30 when would you like your falcons sent to you, milord? Nov 13 14:10:27 I'll have to think on that a little while... don't want them chasing Bir... Nov 13 14:12:15 They can go for those small fancy birds if they’re not caged Nov 13 14:13:14 Oh she's not small... Nov 13 14:13:54 what sort is she, my Lord? Sparrowhawk? Nov 13 14:15:34 In capperlucia they call then nani birds... she's bright, multicoloured, very very clever Nov 13 14:16:45 I would like to see that some day. Maybe if one day you want the falcons, I could bring them myself, milord Nov 13 14:17:28 * Morgan nods Nov 13 14:17:39 I'd gladly have you come see her Nov 13 14:18:49 thank you, milord. I should get home. Enjoy your ale Nov 13 14:19:06 * Morgan inclines his head Nov 13 14:22:10 * Henning says goodnight to some others before going. The numbers are rapidly dwindling, last orders being imminent, as is eleven o’clock. Very likely that Molly has retired now, perhaps to sleep, perhaps to the self-pleasure she seems to have no shame in, Unlike the embarrassment she’d displayed that first day when cleaning up from a day 8n the saddle and pressing the cloth intimately against her Nov 13 14:22:27 *Claudia and Uinise are chatting quietly together Nov 13 14:22:39 * Morgan finishes his drink Nov 13 14:22:46 I'm going to head back... got a drawing to finish Nov 13 14:23:01 C: Yeah, we’ll come too Nov 13 14:23:53 * Morgan nods, standing and getting his coat on Nov 13 14:25:12 *They go outside, and it’s the cold air that makes him notice the effect of multiple pints of Blokners, his body warm. Uinise has been drinking too, and Claudia opts to give her a piggyback. Even in the dark he can make out the happy smile the shorter woman has with her head on Claudia’s shoulder* Nov 13 14:25:28 C: Not the worst place I’ve ever drunk Nov 13 14:25:39 No... its nice here Nov 13 14:26:04 U: Do you wish you lived here instead? Nov 13 14:27:10 I was going to, for a while... This was going to be our home, but... thats not how t worked out Nov 13 14:28:09 U: Do you miss home? Nov 13 14:28:34 I miss my family. What about you? Are you homesick? Nov 13 14:28:53 U: I miss not being wet Nov 13 14:29:07 * Morgan sniggers Nov 13 14:29:16 * Henning is now known as Claudia Nov 13 14:29:23 * Claudia glances at Morgan Nov 13 14:29:30 something funny, Morgan? Nov 13 14:29:47 Yes, thanks. At least ts stopped raining Nov 13 14:30:17 * Claudia nods Nov 13 14:30:27 hopefully dry tomorrow Nov 13 14:31:11 That'd be nice. Nov 13 14:31:32 are we taking the carriage when it’s just the three of us? Nov 13 14:32:27 Tough one... I'm not sure its appropriate for an emissary to ride into town... Nov 13 14:33:42 * Claudia shrugs Nov 13 14:33:46 up to you Nov 13 14:34:09 What would you prefer, Uinise? Nov 13 14:34:20 *Uinise doesn’t reply* Nov 13 14:34:40 * Morgan looks over at her Nov 13 14:34:45 Feels like she’s asleep Nov 13 14:34:53 *she does look to be* Nov 13 14:35:09 Will she manage on a horse? Nov 13 14:35:23 She can ride with me if needs be Nov 13 14:36:15 * Morgan nods Nov 13 14:36:25 Alright Nov 13 14:37:04 *When they get there, she’s still asleep* Nov 13 14:37:16 I’ll get her to bed. first light again? Nov 13 14:37:48 Yeah, lets get there as early as we can... I want to get things squared away with Sascha and Ottor Nov 13 14:37:56 * Claudia nods Nov 13 14:38:03 Night Morgan Nov 13 14:38:23 G'night Claudia Nov 13 14:38:36 * Morgan heads to finish the drawing and get it ready for sending Nov 13 14:38:59 *Whilst he’s doing that, the door opens* Nov 13 14:39:05 * Morgan looks up Nov 13 14:39:07 * Claudia is now known as Walder Nov 13 14:39:31 Sorry milord, just locking up and thought someone had left a lamp burning Nov 13 14:39:43 * Morgan smiles Nov 13 14:39:53 No, just wanted to get this finished to send home in the morning Nov 13 14:39:59 * Walder nods Nov 13 14:40:09 Don’t suppose you’ve got a minute? Nov 13 14:40:18 Of course... have a seat Nov 13 14:40:40 * Walder does so Nov 13 14:41:08 I need to ask you something... Nov 13 14:41:32 * Morgan nods, pouring a couple of whiskeys and handing one to Walder Nov 13 14:41:34 Go on Nov 13 14:41:41 * Walder sips it Nov 13 14:41:50 I want to marry Theresa Nov 13 14:42:07 I see... Nov 13 14:42:43 you brought her here and took her in, and you’re her employer... Nov 13 14:43:02 * Morgan nods Nov 13 14:43:05 I recall, yes Nov 13 14:43:19 I want to ask for your blessing, milord Nov 13 14:43:25 Mine?! Nov 13 14:43:56 yes, for them reasons I just said Nov 13 14:44:32 Walder, who you or she chooses to marry is not my business Nov 13 14:45:07 please, milord, it’s important to me. I never got to ask Rochelle’s family, see? I want to do it right Nov 13 14:45:30 * Morgan nods Nov 13 14:45:52 I understand... but... she -has- family, Walder, in this building... Nov 13 14:46:50 I’m going to ask him too, milord Nov 13 14:46:55 * Morgan nods Nov 13 14:47:30 What I want above all is for people to be happy... would marrying her make you and her happy? Nov 13 14:47:36 * Walder nods Nov 13 14:47:41 the happiest, milord Nov 13 14:47:59 Then I would be a monster to deny that... and I am no monster. You have my complete supportWalder Nov 13 14:48:07 * Walder grins Nov 13 14:48:11 Thank you, milord Nov 13 14:49:30 * Morgan raises his glass a moment before sipping at it Nov 13 14:49:49 My pleasure Walder. Have you considered coming to Hafenlohr? Nov 13 14:51:16 * Walder nods Nov 13 14:51:36 I’m still thinking milord, if that’s okay? Nov 13 14:52:14 Of course it is. Nov 13 14:53:33 it’s not just me an Jacques to think of, it’s the whole family now Nov 13 14:53:43 * Morgan nods Nov 13 14:54:05 Of course... Talk to James, perhaps it'll help ease your mind on that Nov 13 14:54:23 * Walder nods Nov 13 14:54:40 He’s a nice lad, and that sweetheart of his... he’s a lucky man Nov 13 14:54:50 * Morgan nods Nov 13 14:54:59 And that little boy is thoroughly loved Nov 13 14:55:05 * Walder nods Nov 13 14:55:30 I always wanted more kids, and a daughter and grandson would do just right Nov 13 14:56:05 * Morgan nods Nov 13 14:56:14 I'm giving her away.... Nov 13 14:57:19 * Walder nods Nov 13 14:57:26 seems fitting, milord Nov 13 14:57:56 * Morgan nods Nov 13 14:58:02 I'm rather touched by her request Nov 13 14:58:10 * Walder nods Nov 13 14:58:26 I’m told you were a bit of a hero, rescuing her Nov 13 14:59:08 All I did was stand back and let Molly and Dr Rosenkrantz do their work Nov 13 15:00:54 * Walder nods “coach and horses ready early?” Nov 13 15:01:42 Just the horses... the coach can be sent back to Hafenlohr, my wife will need it next week Nov 13 15:02:10 * Walder nods Nov 13 15:02:31 what about the little pony? send him up with the carriage? Nov 13 15:02:52 * Morgan nods Nov 13 15:03:03 Yes, please. Varick is very keen to ride Nov 13 15:04:33 * Walder nods Nov 13 15:04:40 He’s a stable mount Nov 13 15:04:49 * Morgan nods Nov 13 15:05:16 good... he'll need that to start with. This *he taps the drawing* is to be sent to Molly Nov 13 15:05:41 * Walder finishes his whiskey “Discretely, milord?” Nov 13 15:05:47 * Morgan nods Nov 13 15:05:48 indeed Nov 13 15:06:13 * Walder just nods slightly, no smirking Nov 13 15:06:29 anything more you need, milord? Nov 13 15:06:35 With a note to open it alone I think Nov 13 15:07:09 * Walder nods again “I’ll send someone very trustworthy” Nov 13 15:07:47 * Morgan nods Nov 13 15:08:06 Thank you Walder. Go get some sleep, I'll get everything squared away before I turn in Nov 13 15:09:13 * Walder stands, bowing a little “goodnight, milord” Nov 13 15:09:22 Goodnight Walder Nov 13 15:09:30 * Walder leaves him alone Nov 13 15:09:39 * Morgan sets about finishing the drawing Nov 13 15:10:10 *he manages it without any difficulty, just as the clock strikes midnight* Nov 13 15:11:09 * Morgan seals it, ready to send before extinguishing the lamp and heading for bed Nov 13 15:15:07 *the bed,though only a double, seems so much bigger without her there than the six foot does. They’ve only slept there one since the end of their honeymoon in August, just before Hh’s wedding. He’d discovered she was ticklish, and she’d told him how it made her want to yield to him. With reflection, it seems she’d hinted at that submissiveness many times before things finally fell into place Nov 13 15:16:16 For someone so observant, you're awfully blind sometimes Nov 13 15:17:35 *there’s no one to argue with him, just the very quiet house around him, and no singing to help him to sleep, only the pints of blokners* Nov 13 15:17:59 * Morgan gets undressed and into bed, trying to settle Nov 13 15:19:55 *it takes some doing, but he eventually manages it. he falls asleep, and into Molly's dream despite the distance. He's in the hazy yellow tones of his old room at Die Dauerhaftigkeit when there's a gentle tap on the door. Nov 13 15:20:37 Come in Nov 13 15:20:43 * Walder is now known as Molly Nov 13 15:20:47 Molly comes in. She's dressed as a maid, or would be if maid's outfits were made of black and white satin, and cut above the knee. The buttons on the front are gapping. She has some cloths with her and a feather duster. She looks a little flighty. "Excuse me, my Lord, I'm due to clean your room" Nov 13 15:21:07 I see Nov 13 15:21:37 * Molly waits for him to open the door “I’ll be very quiet and not disturb you” Nov 13 15:22:31 * Morgan nods Nov 13 15:22:37 I'm sure you will Nov 13 15:23:50 * Molly starts working quietly yet meticulously Nov 13 15:24:02 * Morgan watches her Nov 13 15:24:31 *over time he notices small damp spots appearing on the front of her dress very gradually, and a pained expression. Now and then when she bends over he can see the top of her stockings too. Nov 13 15:25:56 Are you quite alright? Nov 13 15:26:25 mmhmm, yes my Lord. Am I disturbing you too much? Nov 13 15:26:44 Not at all... you seem to be... pained Nov 13 15:28:23 A little discomfort is all. *She bends down to wipe his skirtings, and he gets even more of a view up her dress, seeing the lower curve of her bottom* Nov 13 15:29:06 Oh dear.. can I help at all? Nov 13 15:30:00 no! uhhh... it’s ummm... *she stands up, wiping his mantelpiece* it’s something indelicate, my Lord Nov 13 15:30:19 I see... well, I wouldn't wish to make you uncomfortable Nov 13 15:31:00 * Molly exhales slowly, her hand stilling on his mantle piece Nov 13 15:31:21 No, my Lord, it’s just... I have a baby at home, and he's cluster feeding, so I have an oversupply. It's quite painful Nov 13 15:31:31 * Morgan nods Nov 13 15:31:43 You need to relieve the pressure, so to speak Nov 13 15:32:08 * Molly blushes, nodding, not quite meeting his eyes “yes, but it doesn’t work!” Nov 13 15:32:35 How so? Nov 13 15:32:56 Only nursing relieves it *she fidgets a bit, as one would expect as if needing to pee, frustrated and uncomfortable* Nov 13 15:33:53 I see, I see Nov 13 15:34:38 * Molly nods, blowing out a breath before wiping the mantle again, dusting his clock Nov 13 15:34:57 Perhaps... I can be of assistance... Nov 13 15:35:34 * Molly turns, looking surprised “My Lord! do you mean...?” Nov 13 15:35:51 Well, I don't like to see you in discomfort... Nov 13 15:36:15 * Molly fidgets more, the marks getting a little bigger Nov 13 15:37:03 I really shouldn’t ask it, your Lordship, it’s a big imposition on my Lord’s time... *she blushes as she glances at his mouth* ... and body. Nov 13 15:37:54 Its fine... Nov 13 15:38:04 * Molly glances around Nov 13 15:38:13 I won’t get in trouble for not working? Nov 13 15:38:54 Well I won't tell anyone... Nov 13 15:39:16 * Molly blushes, smiling “if you don’t mind...” Nov 13 15:39:45 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 13 15:40:00 Not at all Nov 13 15:40:18 * Molly goes to sit on the couch Nov 13 15:40:33 There’s probably going to be a lot, I’m really sorry Nov 13 15:40:49 * Morgan sits beside her Nov 13 15:40:57 Its fine, providing it'll help Nov 13 15:41:41 * Molly nods, exhaling slowly again as she puts cushions he’s never had in reality on her lap for him to prop up on Nov 13 15:41:44 it will Nov 13 15:41:59 * Morgan nods, moving to put his head on the cushion Nov 13 15:42:55 * Molly flushes with embarrassment as she undoes her dress Nov 13 15:43:06 * Morgan smiles Nov 13 15:43:13 Would it be easier if I avert my eyes? Nov 13 15:43:33 No, it’s okay. you can stop if it gets too much, my Lord Nov 13 15:44:22 * Morgan nods Nov 13 15:44:27 Are you ready? Nov 13 15:45:02 *her breasts look solid, very decorated in veins, her nipples swollen and reddened. She looks a little aroused alongside the embarrassment, squirming in her seat* Yes, my Lord Nov 13 15:45:52 * Morgan nods, gently taking a nipple into his mouth and sucking Nov 13 15:46:50 *though he can see she's trying to hide it in her expression, he can feel the way her thighs tighten and relax beneath his flank, how her hips fidget, and the way she breathes. Her body is telling him what her face doesn't, that the soft sensations are taking her very close to orgasm. He can taste the milk starting to gently flow, but it's nothing like as sweet as in reality, more like warm cow's milk, much easier for him to drink* Nov 13 15:47:25 * Morgan latches a little better, sucking more firmly Nov 13 15:47:39 * Molly holds one of the cleaning rags to the other breast where the milk is dripping, pressing it firmly. She's breathless when she says "it's going to come Nov 13 15:48:14 * Morgan nods, continuing Nov 13 15:48:32 * Molly is still squirming, starting to hold her breaths. She murmurs thank you… for… helping… me… my… Lord". She's still doing a good job of not revealing it in her regular expression, but her micro-expressions show extreme arousal and pleasure. Nov 13 15:49:00 * Morgan nods again, sucking more firmly ,deeply Nov 13 15:49:34 * Molly moans softly before tensing and letting down in a forceful stream into his mouth as she climaxes, her milk warm and familiar despite the reduced sweetness from his previous drinking of it, intimate and close Nov 13 15:52:03 * Morgan makes a small noise of enjoyment, not letting up Nov 13 15:52:48 * Molly tenderly and unthinkingly strokes his hair as the flow, and her pleasure continues, thighs beneath him grinding against each other, pouring into his mouth Oh god that's such a relief! Nov 13 15:53:28 * Morgan nods making a mmhmmm noise Nov 13 15:55:05 * Molly looks down at him once the intensity of the pleasure has subsided, suddenly noticing how she’s soothingly touching him “Is this... is that alright, my Lord?” Nov 13 15:55:25 * Morgan nods, letting go Nov 13 15:55:32 Did you... need help with the other? Nov 13 15:55:38 * Molly nods Nov 13 15:55:42 yes, please! Nov 13 15:55:54 * Morgan nods, fidgeting into play before doing it again Nov 13 15:57:43 * Molly ‘s flow requires no let down, primed and ready to fill his mouth again, her breast warm and firm from the fullness. she does stroke his hair again, but can’t contain the soft moan of pleasure at the stimulation Nov 13 15:58:11 * Morgan makes a noise of enjoyment as he continues to suck on her nipple Nov 13 15:58:48 * Molly gasps, and between peaks she says “Oh god, I’m sorry!” Nov 13 15:59:52 * Morgan shakes his head slightly, keeping it up Nov 13 16:01:20 *more of the warm milk flows into his waiting mouth when she climaxes again, even louder this time, her hips beneath him grinding her mound to his side* Nov 13 16:01:47 * Morgan reaches up with one arm to stroke hers gently as he carries on Nov 13 16:02:01 * Molly continues to fill his mouth whilst she looks down his body to his very solid erection Oh! You're hard, my Lord!" She doesn't sound disapproving, more pleasantly surprised Nov 13 16:02:51 * Morgan nods Nov 13 16:03:49 * Molly is milk continues as she reaches down his chest and belly to stroke the bulge, shuddering as she does so how does that feel, my Lord? Nov 13 16:04:32 * Morgan moans, rolling his hips to meet her Nov 13 16:05:04 * Molly undoes his placket, freeing him maybe I could help you in return, my Lord Nov 13 16:05:28 * Morgan nods, sucking Nov 13 16:06:44 * Molly begins to stroke him firmly, whimpering as she orgasms again Nov 13 16:07:31 * Morgan groans, rolling his hips under her touch Nov 13 16:08:10 Do you... want to... be brought off... or... *her back arches, another sudden pulsing in the flow* Nov 13 16:08:33 * Morgan lets go Nov 13 16:08:34 Or? Nov 13 16:09:11 * Molly is flushed, breathless, but looks a little shy “Anything else, My Lord” Nov 13 16:09:55 Such as? Nov 13 16:10:18 * Molly presses her thighs together Nov 13 16:10:31 do you want... to swive me... my Lord? Nov 13 16:10:56 I rather think I do Nov 13 16:11:30 * Molly nods, breasts looking softer now Nov 13 16:11:46 yes, my Lord Nov 13 16:11:55 * Morgan sits up Nov 13 16:12:58 * Molly watches him shyly still, a few drops still dripping from her nipples, legs pressed together to her knees tightly Nov 13 16:13:07 where, my Lord? Nov 13 16:13:16 Here... Nov 13 16:13:31 * Molly nods, smiling Nov 13 16:13:42 on my knees, my Lord? Nov 13 16:14:08 * Morgan nods Nov 13 16:14:14 Yes, why not Nov 13 16:15:14 * Molly moves, kneeling on the couch and resting her breasts on top of the back rest, bracing with her hands Nov 13 16:15:20 like this, my Lord? Nov 13 16:15:51 * Morgan nods, moving behind her and lifting her dress out of the way Nov 13 16:15:53 Perfect Nov 13 16:17:03 *she’s completely bare beneath it, but very wet, from her mound and right round to the crevice between her buttocks* Nov 13 16:17:32 Are you ready? Nov 13 16:17:38 yes my Lord Nov 13 16:17:59 * Morgan nods, bringing his hardness to her wetness, pushing firmly Nov 13 16:18:37 * Molly ‘s back arches at this, taking him within her “Oh my Lord! “ Nov 13 16:19:11 * Morgan keeps pushing until he is fully hilted in her Nov 13 16:19:16 Oh god Nov 13 16:19:28 Does this please you, my Lord? Nov 13 16:19:46 It does... and you? You like this? Nov 13 16:19:58 Yes, youkre so thick! Nov 13 16:20:21 * Morgan grunts, withdrawing almost completely before thrusting back into her Nov 13 16:20:31 * Molly moans loudly Nov 13 16:20:48 That’s good, my Lord, I like it a bit rough! Nov 13 16:21:01 Oh really? Nov 13 16:21:07 yes my Lord Nov 13 16:21:10 * Morgan withdraws almost completely Nov 13 16:21:13 How rough? Nov 13 16:21:35 Very, my Lord, but I’ll do whatever you wish Nov 13 16:21:47 * Morgan nods, shoving himself into her hard Nov 13 16:23:49 * Molly shudders around him before pushing her bottom backwards to give him more depth Nov 13 16:24:21 * Morgan winds his fingers into her hair, pulling against her as he starts to fuck her savagely Nov 13 16:25:03 oh fuck! My Lord, you’re good at this! *she squirms and writhes on him* Nov 13 16:25:36 * Morgan grunts, pounding himself into her Nov 13 16:26:10 * Molly seems to be gearing up again “Do you like dirty talk, my Lord?” Nov 13 16:26:36 * Morgan nods Nov 13 16:26:36 I do Nov 13 16:28:44 * Molly starts rhythmically tightening around him “Your cock feels so good stretching me, my Lord! I’m going to come again from you fucking me so hard!” Nov 13 16:29:02 * Morgan moans Nov 13 16:29:05 Oh god thats so good Nov 13 16:30:26 * Molly tries to nod but can’t manage it “I want you to slam it deep in my pussy til you can’t hold back any more!” Nov 13 16:34:08 * Morgan grunts Nov 13 16:34:10 It won't be long Nov 13 16:36:47 * Molly gasps at this, suddenly tightening all around him, her grasp on the couch making her knuckles white. When she exclaims “Fuck!” it’s almost like a scream, and then he feels an almost pushing-out against him as her peak is sustained, a hot flood against his cock, his balls, and down his trousers* Nov 13 16:37:23 * Morgan swears, burying himself in her as he starts humming Nov 13 16:39:41 *he feels the pleasure of it, as sustained and intense as when she messed with his muscles, and he wakes suddenly when he reaches the very end of that feeling* Nov 13 16:40:21 * Morgan lays still, breathing heavily Nov 13 16:40:29 **he's very hard and leaking lots of precum in fine warm strands between his tip and his belly Nov 13 16:42:22 * Morgan slows his breathing, trying to relax as he checks the time Nov 13 16:43:05 *it’s about five, he has ninety minutes before they’re due to go Nov 13 16:43:47 * Morgan grunts, getting out of bed to get dressed Nov 13 16:44:31 *he can tell that he’s going to have a mild ache for the day, but no worse than he’s tolerated in the past Nov 13 16:45:26 * Morgan shakes himself, getting his clothes on before going to make coffee Nov 13 16:46:46 *The kitchen is utterly silent, no one there yet to light the fire or start breakfast Nov 13 16:47:53 * Morgan starts a fire, getting coffee going before going searching for food to make for the journey Nov 13 16:48:47 *he finds some neatly wrapped up. he doesn’t see anyone for quite a while* Nov 13 16:49:33 * Molly is now known as Claudia Nov 13 16:50:14 * Claudia appears to get coffee about forty five minutes before they are due to go Nov 13 16:50:17 morning Nov 13 16:50:32 hey Nov 13 16:50:59 * Claudia starts getting her coffee Nov 13 16:51:08 how were the nightmares? Nov 13 16:51:28 * Morgan smiles Nov 13 16:51:36 Just one dream... one of molly's. Nov 13 16:51:50 yeah? you look happy Nov 13 16:52:17 * Morgan nods Nov 13 16:52:22 just... relaxed is all Nov 13 16:52:28 * Claudia sniggers Nov 13 16:52:48 uh huh. remind Walder to change your sheets, is it? Nov 13 16:53:55 Not gonn' be here for a while, so probably Nov 13 16:55:51 * Claudia laughs Nov 13 16:56:04 Uinise is up, she’ll be down soon Nov 13 16:57:30 * Morgan nods, wrapping some food Nov 13 16:57:47 Soon as its light enough, we'll move out. Nov 13 16:58:37 * Claudia nods Nov 13 16:58:48 how many horses are we taking? Nov 13 16:59:29 Can she ride? Nov 13 17:00:12 * Claudia nods Nov 13 17:00:59 she reckons so, she got a little practice in Avalon Nov 13 17:01:48 if we need to we can lead her horse later on but if she’s on her own there’s less chance of wandering hands Nov 13 17:02:06 * Morgan chuckles, nodding Nov 13 17:02:12 alright... we'll take a horse for her as well Nov 13 17:02:23 * Claudia nods, smiling Nov 13 17:02:56 And I’ll warn her not to do that, if we have to take her off, with the threat that she rides with you and not me Nov 13 17:03:11 That would be dreadful for her Nov 13 17:03:28 no bubbies and too much of the other thing Nov 13 17:04:40 * Morgan nods Nov 13 17:04:42 Much too much Nov 13 17:04:47 * Morgan blushes Nov 13 17:04:49 Sorry... Nov 13 17:05:22 * Claudia laughs Nov 13 17:06:01 you’re missing Heinzharold who’d appreciate the statement, and Molly who’d appreciate the object, huh? Nov 13 17:06:09 * Morgan nods Nov 13 17:06:14 I suppose I am Nov 13 17:06:33 did you talk to her in your dream, make sure they’re okay? Nov 13 17:07:27 No, that only happens in certain circumstances... Nov 13 17:08:47 how do you mean? Nov 13 17:09:18 Can only talk to her in her dreams where Madchen is there and facilitates it... she wasn't there Nov 13 17:09:28 that’s a pity Nov 13 17:09:50 * Morgan nods Nov 13 17:09:55 So it was just vigorous sex Nov 13 17:11:24 * Claudia laughs Nov 13 17:11:36 Wow! good night for you then! Nov 13 17:11:44 Better than expected at least Nov 13 17:11:50 * Claudia nods Nov 13 17:12:01 except you have to wake up here and not there? Nov 13 17:12:49 * Morgan nods Nov 13 17:12:58 But... it is what it is Nov 13 17:13:03 * Claudia nods Nov 13 17:13:28 good night is better than a bad night when you want to see your former in laws today! Nov 13 17:14:03 * Morgan nods Nov 13 17:14:05 Quite so Nov 13 17:14:51 maybe you’ll have these every night! Nov 13 17:15:18 I'm not nearly -that- lucky Nov 13 17:26:58 you had a lot like that in Capperlucia didn’t you? Nov 13 17:27:26 * Morgan nods Nov 13 17:27:30 Just dreams, though... Nov 13 17:27:42 * Claudia nods Nov 13 17:28:01 Are you going to the big house first, or straight to Otto? Nov 13 17:28:42 Realistically, need to present Uinise to my father, collect the furniture, and -then- go see Otto Nov 13 17:28:45 * Morgan sighs Nov 13 17:28:49 And HeinzHarolds ma Nov 13 17:30:52 you’re planning to do it all in one afternoon? Nov 13 17:31:25 The first'll only take a few minutes Nov 13 17:32:29 * Claudia nods Nov 13 17:32:42 I’m going to take her to see the shack later though Nov 13 17:32:50 * Morgan nods Nov 13 17:32:57 I suspect that is important Nov 13 17:33:18 * Claudia nods Nov 13 17:33:40 it’s my sanctuary. letting someone into my sanctuary is a big deal Nov 13 17:34:18 I know Nov 13 17:36:42 we might get there by mid-afternoon Nov 13 17:37:11 * Morgan nods Nov 13 17:37:26 See if we can make some decent time... I think Xantha's itching for a proper run Nov 13 17:38:49 * Claudia nods Nov 13 17:39:14 suits me. I’m sure it’ll suit Uinise. She didn’t wake up at all Nov 13 17:39:38 * Morgan nods Nov 13 17:40:13 Walder asked for my blessing to ask Theresa to marry him Nov 13 17:40:23 Okay? Nov 13 17:40:58 Its kind of... touching. He said its important because I took her in, gave her employment... Nov 13 17:41:57 * Claudia nods “yeah” Nov 13 17:42:40 *Talking with Claudia about this definitely doesn’t elicit all the same excitement or analysis as when he tells Molly these things* Nov 13 17:43:06 * Morgan looks round, packing the food and hefting his bag Nov 13 17:43:10 I'm going to saddle the horses Nov 13 17:44:55 * Claudia nods Nov 13 17:45:06 I’ll go and check Uinise is actually ready Nov 13 17:45:29 * Morgan nods, carrying the things out to the stable Nov 13 17:50:26 *Walder is out there with the coachmen* Nov 13 17:50:33 * Claudia is now known as Walder Nov 13 17:50:38 morning, milord Nov 13 17:50:48 Morning Walder Nov 13 17:52:05 Coachmen can take your parcel, milord, if it’s all finished Nov 13 17:52:37 * Morgan nods, digging it out and handing it over Nov 13 17:52:42 To arrive sealed... Nov 13 17:53:26 *The coachman nods, tucking it in a waterproof leather back* Give it to her Excellency? Nov 13 17:54:18 * Morgan nods Nov 13 17:54:27 Aye, to open alone Nov 13 17:54:54 *The coachman tries so hard not to smirk* Right you are, your Excellency Nov 13 17:55:49 * Morgan stares at him Nov 13 17:56:00 Safe journey. Nov 13 17:56:32 *he bows, climbing up. The pony is tied to the back* Nov 13 17:56:56 * Morgan nods, moving to saddle Xantha Nov 13 18:01:17 *Claudia saddles two horses when they get down, the morning dry, getting lighter. She gets Uinise mounted up, to which Uinise says “Thank you for mounting me, Clowdia” Nov 13 18:01:38 * Morgan very purposefully looks away Nov 13 18:02:26 We’ll see you in a few weeks for the baptisms, milord Nov 13 18:02:54 * Morgan nods, speaking quietly Nov 13 18:03:31 Can you have Jacques make a few new mirrors and send them? Nov 13 18:03:57 nearly forgot! hang on, milord! Nov 13 18:04:28 * Walder heads towards his cottage, returning with a box Nov 13 18:04:30 * Morgan nods, setting to afixing his bag to the saddle while they wait Nov 13 18:04:51 three sets okay? Nov 13 18:05:06 * Morgan nods Nov 13 18:05:12 Should be plenty Nov 13 18:05:33 * Walder nods “take care, milord” Nov 13 18:05:49 * Morgan nods, offering his hand Nov 13 18:05:52 And you, Walder Nov 13 18:06:31 * Walder shakes it, smiling Nov 13 18:07:05 Let me know what happens... Nov 13 18:07:16 I will, milord Nov 13 18:07:52 * Morgan nods, climbing into the saddle Nov 13 18:08:56 *xantha paws at the ground* Nov 13 18:09:17 I know, I know, we're going... Nov 13 18:10:16 *Claudia gets her horse walking on Nov 13 18:10:42 * Morgan waits for Uinise to get moving before letting Xantha walk on Nov 13 18:11:18 *uinise does so. Xantha is being difficult, wanting the run he was promised* Nov 13 18:11:35 * Morgan sighs Nov 13 18:11:44 Will you both be alright if I let him stretch his legs? Nov 13 18:11:53 C: obviously Nov 13 18:12:10 * Morgan nods, kicking the horses flank Nov 13 18:12:54 *Xantha even does a dramatic neigh before shooting off along the very familiar route* Nov 13 18:13:12 * Morgan lets him run hard Nov 13 18:14:20 *he runs a couple of miles before slowly. this is usually the sort of opportunity he and Molly take to dally, but today it’s just him* Nov 13 18:14:36 * Morgan pats his neck Nov 13 18:14:39 Good lad Nov 13 18:15:42 *xantha stops to wait for the others, taking the opportunity to relieve himself and eat some grass. The sun is just coming up Nov 13 18:16:06 * Morgan moves to be able to see it while they wait Nov 13 18:16:34 *it’s pretty, and it looks like the weather will hold Nov 13 18:16:50 * Morgan waits for the others Nov 13 18:17:21 *they catch up* Nov 13 18:18:13 * Morgan sets Xantha to a walk again Nov 13 18:19:04 *there’s no real need to have a point and rear, they can ride close together Nov 13 18:19:10 * Walder is now known as Uinise Nov 13 18:19:31 the men in Theah Main are very loud! Nov 13 18:19:40 Oh? Nov 13 18:19:59 they shout and curse a lot Nov 13 18:20:25 Depends on the man... sailors do, and men in taverns.... Nov 13 18:20:36 * Uinise nods Nov 13 18:21:18 at home soft spoken men are more popular Nov 13 18:21:49 * Morgan nods Nov 13 18:21:56 That explains why I wasn't well likde Nov 13 18:22:03 * Morgan smiles slightly Nov 13 18:22:38 I think you are quite soft spoken. you have a nice low voice, and you rarely shout Nov 13 18:23:00 * Morgan inclines his head Nov 13 18:23:01 Thank you Nov 13 18:23:23 we don’t like men who are too loud or rough Nov 13 18:23:35 * Morgan nods Nov 13 18:23:43 But then... the men in Capperlucia have never needed to be Nov 13 18:23:59 No, we have dragons Nov 13 18:24:13 * Morgan nods Nov 13 18:24:14 indeed Nov 13 18:26:26 In the romance books the women like to be treated in ways no woman in Capperlucia would ever tolerate Nov 13 18:26:38 Oh? Nov 13 18:27:18 The men grab at them roughly, and accost them, and pin them to things Nov 13 18:27:34 But if that is what the women enjoy, is there any harm in that? Nov 13 18:28:10 But sometimes they don’t enjoy it, and then later in the book they do Nov 13 18:28:50 * Morgan nods Nov 13 18:29:05 That is a problem... it should be established before hand what is acceptable. Nov 13 18:31:10 * Uinise nods Nov 13 18:31:27 Your relationships in Theah Main are very complicated Nov 13 18:31:32 * Morgan nods Nov 13 18:31:35 Yes, they are Nov 13 18:33:12 I am going to meet your Father now? Nov 13 18:33:19 * Morgan nods Nov 13 18:33:24 That is the plan, yes Nov 13 18:33:41 what sort of man is he? Nov 13 18:34:41 Strict... traditional... caring... Nov 13 18:35:33 * Uinise nods Nov 13 18:36:05 And he needs a lot of Theah Main talking, with the euphemisms? Nov 13 18:36:49 It varies... he is quite reserved Nov 13 18:40:17 C: Best just to avoid anything about intimacy, relationships, body parts, body functions *she takes a breath* child birth, women liking women, men liking men... anything else, Morgan? Nov 13 18:40:38 * Morgan smiles Nov 13 18:40:47 That covers it fairly well... Nov 13 18:40:55 Oh, magic, that upsets him Nov 13 18:41:20 C: And Emil, til you’ve told him? Nov 13 18:41:47 * Uinise seems to be concentrating on this hard Nov 13 18:41:56 * Morgan nods Nov 13 18:42:06 Yeah, best not mention him yet Nov 13 18:42:23 C: And the clothing in Capperlucia Nov 13 18:42:36 No, thats fine Nov 13 18:43:09 C: won’t he get all provincial? Nov 13 18:44:03 Probably but you're running out of subjects... Nov 13 18:45:31 Books? Sailing? Nov 13 18:45:38 * Morgan nods Nov 13 18:45:51 He was in the navy, he enjoys sailing.. Nov 13 18:45:57 * Uinise nods Nov 13 18:46:04 Dragons? Nov 13 18:46:14 Best leave that one to me Nov 13 18:46:26 Talking birds? Nov 13 18:46:45 C: $is Bir going to shout Fuck at him?!$ Nov 13 18:46:52 He probably won't believe you but you can Nov 13 18:47:05 $No... I hope. Varick has explained to her that we don't say that$ Nov 13 18:47:35 $You saying that was what got you in this mess in the first place!” Nov 13 18:47:53 what about my museum? Nov 13 18:48:38 $What mess?$ Nov 13 18:48:42 * Morgan nods Nov 13 18:48:51 I'm sure he'd be interested to hear about that... my mother too. Nov 13 18:50:13 $a swearing bird who bounces on the edge of a table$ Nov 13 18:50:23 * Uinise smiles, nodding Nov 13 18:51:12 $Ah... yeah$ Nov 13 18:53:13 *the next few hours pass peacefully, but they have to stop to let the horses drink, and he notices Uinise on her own, looking thoughtful * Nov 13 18:53:25 * Morgan wanders to her Nov 13 18:53:28 You alright love? Nov 13 18:56:22 * Uinise nods. he notices the protrusion of bamboo, though nothing else is revealed by the front of her skirt being lifted, pee flowing from it onto the soft soil and soaking in. she looks no more troubled by his appearance than Heinzharold would be doing the same thing* I am fine, thank you Nov 13 18:56:57 * Morgan nods, looking away Nov 13 18:57:02 Sorry, I didn't mean to intrude Nov 13 18:57:19 it’s fine, it’s perfectly normal at home Nov 13 18:57:30 * Morgan nods Nov 13 18:58:01 At some point once we're back in Hafenlohr, I'd like to take a look at that... it might be useful for Molly and Inga... Nov 13 18:58:43 it will. I am going to get Clowdia used to using one Nov 13 18:59:16 * Morgan nods Nov 13 18:59:40 * Morgan nods Nov 13 18:59:48 Good idea Nov 13 18:59:59 *Claudia comes over, smiling slightly * Nov 13 19:00:09 C: Horses are nearly done Nov 13 19:01:50 Good... we'll get moving again as soon as we can Nov 13 19:04:03 * Uinise nods, carefully removing the aid and shaking it off Nov 13 19:04:06 all done Nov 13 19:04:32 C: $sometimes their ways still shock me$ Nov 13 19:04:37 * Morgan nods, wandering over to Xantha to check him over before they move on Nov 13 19:04:42 $Yeah, me too$ Nov 13 19:05:10 * Uinise rinses it in the stream, as well as washing her hands, before getting her horse Nov 13 19:05:32 *Claudia whispers* Definitely can’t do that around your Father! Nov 13 19:05:39 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 13 19:05:42 He'd go bonkers Nov 13 19:06:16 *Claudia nods before helping Uinise into the saddle* Nov 13 19:07:05 * Morgan climbs up himself Nov 13 19:07:08 * Uinise rides along side them once they are going “Do we need to sing the bottle song to protect us from danger on the road?” Nov 13 19:08:36 No... mostly HeinzHarold sings it to annoy us... Nov 13 19:09:49 I thought it was one of your superstitions Nov 13 19:10:01 * Morgan smiles Nov 13 19:10:06 Itd make as much sense as one Nov 13 19:13:16 I will write about the superstitions of Sudlachenburg for my museum. I’d like to know more about how you feel the Schattymann. Nov 13 19:13:49 *Claudia chuckles* Nov 13 19:15:21 During the shadow fayre we leave out loaves of pumpernickel bread for it Nov 13 19:16:40 So you give it offerings, and have a feast on a special date for it, but you are not worshipping it? Nov 13 19:17:09 * Morgan smiles Nov 13 19:17:13 I never said it made sense Nov 13 19:18:09 C: when you put it that way... Nov 13 19:18:37 Its more like... asking the big kid not to pick on you by giving them stuff Nov 13 19:19:28 that does not sound like a healthy way to handle conflicts in children Nov 13 19:19:57 No, it isn't... but when the big kid is a terrifying creature with otherworldly powers... Nov 13 19:20:35 * Uinise nods Nov 13 19:20:55 can I light my incense in your Father’s house? Nov 13 19:21:14 I'll talk to him about it Nov 13 19:21:45 * Uinise nods Nov 13 19:21:56 will we go to your church tomorrow? Nov 13 19:22:08 * Morgan shrugs Nov 13 19:22:21 That depends on a great many things... Nov 13 19:22:49 I would like to Nov 13 19:23:16 You wish to see how those of my faith worship? Nov 13 19:23:30 * Uinise nods Nov 13 19:23:44 that is part of my reason for coming Nov 13 19:23:49 * Morgan nods Nov 13 19:24:06 But you were present when we worshipped on our way back... Nov 13 19:25:13 but a church will be different Nov 13 19:25:19 * Morgan nods Nov 13 19:25:32 Alright. I'll speak with my father about that as well Nov 13 19:31:28 * Uinise nods. Xantha decides after lunch that although the day is peaceful and they’ve seen a few people on the road, it is boring to walk and he’d rather run again Nov 13 19:32:11 * Morgan leaves them again, running him hard for a little while Nov 13 19:35:37 *Xantha seems to think they’re making a full dash for home, putting another four miles down before he’s willing to slow* Nov 13 19:36:18 * Morgan hauls him to a stop Nov 13 19:36:26 Not yet... we've got to ride in together Nov 13 19:38:41 *Xantha huffs* Nov 13 19:39:04 Yes, I know, I want to get there too Nov 13 19:39:17 *they’re only about half any hour away now* Nov 13 19:39:54 * Morgan sighs, waiting Nov 13 19:41:30 * Uinise and Claudia do eventually catch up Nov 13 19:41:59 does your horse have ants in his bottom? Nov 13 19:42:11 *Claudia smiles faintly* Nov 13 19:42:18 * Morgan glances at Claudia Nov 13 19:42:30 He's... a war horse, he loves to run Nov 13 19:42:53 Does he run into a fight or from a fight? Nov 13 19:43:44 Definitely into. Nov 13 19:45:59 * Uinise looks the horse over Nov 13 19:46:20 Is he the father of the foal in the white horse at Hafenlohr? Nov 13 19:46:28 * Morgan nods Nov 13 19:46:31 Yes, he is Nov 13 19:46:39 She is very fat Nov 13 19:46:52 * Morgan nods Nov 13 19:46:54 *Claudia smiles again* Nov 13 19:46:56 yes... yes she is Nov 13 19:47:24 She is going to need a lot of stretch to deliver such a big offspring Nov 13 19:47:42 C $and no talking to him about horses then.$ Nov 13 19:48:04 $Birthing in general...$ Nov 13 19:48:12 Yes, I think so... Nov 13 19:48:39 Do you stretch your animals before the birth like we do with women? Nov 13 19:48:50 Do you? Nov 13 19:49:05 C $why? why would you ask?!$ Nov 13 19:50:03 $I don't even know$ Nov 13 19:50:15 * Morgan sets Xantha to walking again Nov 13 19:50:46 Yes, from the eighth month the father or a doctor uses oils to *she mimics pushing her thumbs in, bringing them up and out to the sides in an arc and back, getting bigger and bigger* Nov 13 19:51:05 I see Nov 13 19:51:08 *Claudia is blushing now* Nov 13 19:51:35 it helps the head come out, the head is much bigger than the hole Nov 13 19:52:10 I see... tat makes sense Nov 13 19:52:41 Sometimes the mother will have an ecstatic birth, but that is not common Nov 13 19:53:41 A what? Nov 13 19:54:48 That is where the head stimulates the... vagina, you call it, on the way out, and the mother will have a big orgasm Nov 13 19:55:06 * Morgan nods, turning slightly to hide his blush Nov 13 19:55:09 Oh... I see. Nov 13 19:55:56 It is all in the book Molly has. It has the instructions for the perinium stretching, so you can do that to help her when she is near birth Nov 13 19:56:17 * Morgan nods Nov 13 19:56:21 I'm sure that'll be helpful Nov 13 19:56:44 * Uinise nods, not looking at all embarrassed Nov 13 19:57:08 *Claudia on the other hand, is still red* Nov 13 19:57:57 * Morgan starts paying attention to the road and the people Nov 13 20:01:27 *People wave, there are lots of My Lords and Your Excellencies, people he knows from childhood or from his building work last summer. They hit the outskirts of tow at half after three Nov 13 20:02:45 Through town, then back out in a while... Nov 13 20:05:16 * Uinise looks around with a childlike curiosity about the life here as they pass through. Everyone out in the streets stops to wave and call, it is like coming back a king Nov 13 20:05:34 * Morgan waves to people, speaking to others Nov 13 20:07:57 They love you here! Nov 13 20:08:41 This is where I grew up... where my late wife and I lived, had a child... my family are tied to this place going back hundreds of years Nov 13 20:10:52 * Uinise smiles, looking around. When they pass the right bit, Claudia points to the shack set right back off the road Nov 13 20:10:59 C: Just there Nov 13 20:11:31 Can we see it today?! *Claudia nods, smiling* yes, in a while Nov 13 20:13:12 * Morgan rides on slowly Nov 13 20:15:31 *This route avoids the turn offs the other has that used to lead to him happy home but now lead to the Forresters house, and soon they’re in the stableyards of his family home. Uinise looks up at the huge building open-mouthed* Nov 13 20:16:05 * Morgan watches her quietly Nov 13 20:17:54 Welcome to my childhood home Nov 13 20:20:04 It’s so big! Nov 13 20:20:48 * Morgan nods, looking around before moving to get the horses stabled with instructions to prepare the cart with the furniture and a horse to pull it within the hour Nov 13 20:25:43 *the familiar staff jump to it, but Xantha plants his hooves firmly, not wanting to go in* Nov 13 20:25:57 * Morgan taps his face Nov 13 20:26:05 You want to pull a cart? Nov 13 20:26:32 *he tosses his head haughtily* Nov 13 20:26:49 Precisely. Go rest, you've done well today Nov 13 20:28:31 *Xantha still looks reluctant, looking around and sniffing the air* Nov 13 20:29:17 I know... we'll be home to them in a few days Nov 13 20:29:49 *Xantha huffs before going in, head down* Nov 13 20:30:01 * Morgan looks at a groom Nov 13 20:30:12 Give him a few carrots and a couple of apples... it'll cheer him up Nov 13 20:31:06 *the groom nods. His father’s favourite stallion is missing* Nov 13 20:31:17 Is my father not home? Nov 13 20:33:33 G: He’s out hunting with Yensid, my Lord Nov 13 20:33:44 They haven't taken that blunderbuss with them?! Nov 13 20:34:13 G: No, her Ladyship made them put it in the vault, my Lord Nov 13 20:34:22 * Morgan sighs Nov 13 20:34:32 He was not aware I was coming home today? Nov 13 20:34:52 G: He thought you’d be a few hours yet Nov 13 20:36:16 * Morgan nods Nov 13 20:36:39 Have someone find him and tell him we're here would you? I've got other things I need to get done today Nov 13 20:37:51 *the groom saddles another horse before riding out* Nov 13 20:38:00 C: Now what? Nov 13 20:38:07 We'll go see my mother Nov 13 20:39:27 * Uinise follows more, Claudia carrying their bags Nov 13 20:42:19 *The Veisgraf wing is in the north east corner of the huge building, with its own entrance. He hasn’t been here since the second week of December when they made a fairly short stop to collect the family. But it’s where he’s anticipated they’d spend the early early of the married life. The Sudlache sparkles to their left, and Uinise looks fascinated by this too Nov 13 20:42:32 years* Nov 13 20:44:04 Don't go in the lake. Nov 13 20:44:18 * Morgan leads them into the wing, finding them a room Nov 13 20:59:50 *It smells of lavender and roses up here too* Nov 13 21:00:12 * Morgan carries his bag into his bedroom Nov 13 21:01:18 *This room is done in deep grey and red, barely used* Nov 13 21:02:03 * Morgan wanders back out, calling to Claudia Nov 13 21:02:16 * Uinise is now known as Claudia Nov 13 21:02:39 * Claudia comes out of the nearest guestroom Nov 13 21:02:42 yes? Nov 13 21:02:50 Room alright? Nov 13 21:03:03 yep, all good Nov 13 21:03:07 * Morgan nods Nov 13 21:03:22 She need to rest any before meeting my mother? Nov 13 21:03:48 Think we all need to wash up... Nov 13 21:04:05 * Morgan sighs Nov 13 21:04:17 Alright, give me a few minutes then the bathrooms yours Nov 13 21:04:50 * Claudia nods Nov 13 21:06:52 * Morgan goes into the bathroom to get washed before tapping on the outside door and going into his bedroom to get changed Nov 13 21:09:30 *In his bag, alongside his clothes, there are some cream cloths with a small note that says “Just in case. I love you, MK xx” Nov 13 21:10:09 * Morgan smiles, putting them safely, unpacking his things while he waits for Claudia and Uinise Nov 13 21:11:26 *It takes about ten minutes, through which he hears running water and the occassional giggle from Uinise* Nov 13 21:12:51 * Morgan moves into the hallway, waiting for them Nov 13 21:14:02 * Claudia leads her out of the bathroom by the hand, then blushes a little before letting go Nov 13 21:14:05 ready? Nov 13 21:14:11 * Morgan nods Nov 13 21:14:17 With any luck my father will be back soon Nov 13 21:15:03 * Claudia heads down through the wing back outside Nov 13 21:15:17 U: it’s like a house stuck to a bigger house Nov 13 21:15:28 * Morgan nods, following her Nov 13 21:15:41 It is... its enormous Nov 13 21:17:48 *Uinise looks up at it* I’ve never seen anything this big before! Nov 13 21:18:00 * Morgan nods Nov 13 21:18:26 I was very happy growing up here Nov 13 21:20:11 *Uinise smiles* how many rooms are there? Nov 13 21:20:32 loads... though I've never counted Nov 13 21:23:43 * Claudia looks around before going up the steps. They were here so much over the months waiting for the wedding that many of the places he looks have memories of Molly here, especially in those days where it was still new and huge, where he now knows she came here despite her fears that having her here would make him decide he couldn’t be with her Nov 13 21:24:22 * Morgan sighs, looking round Nov 13 21:25:40 *its quiet until there’s suddenly the sound of a young baby crying, that little wah-wah sound* Nov 13 21:26:10 * Morgan heads in the direction of the sound Nov 13 21:29:06 *They’re in the entrance hall, just coming down the steps. Grendlik has the baby in his arms, Jarvie is carrying their coats Nov 13 21:29:26 Well now.... Aren't you a sight for sore eyes Nov 13 21:29:47 * Claudia is now known as Jarvie Nov 13 21:30:02 * Jarvie grins “Hello, Cuz! you’re early!” Nov 13 21:30:21 I'm not a late riser like some of my family, that all... Nov 13 21:30:27 * Morgan goes to hug her firmly Nov 13 21:30:48 *Grendlik beams proudly as he brings his son over. Jarvie hugs him, almost his height Nov 13 21:31:26 The first comment about making me stay in a dark room til I’m churched and I will lamp you. Nov 13 21:31:51 * Morgan smiles Nov 13 21:31:57 Later perhaps... Nov 13 21:32:05 * Morgan turns to Grendlik Nov 13 21:32:15 You're looking well... Nov 13 21:33:29 My Lord, good afternoon. I am very well, thank you *he’s no less handsome, but maybe a little tired looking. Matthias continues to make a quiet wah cry in his arms* Nov 13 21:33:48 * Morgan smiles, looking at the boy Nov 13 21:33:50 May I? Nov 13 21:35:54 *Grendlik hands him over gently. He makes even Thomas feel heavy, closer in weight to Captain Ulysses. His hand by his mouth has the tiniest nails, about the same size Jana’s were at five weeks too* Nov 13 21:36:22 Well hello young man... aren't you a handsome little man Nov 13 21:36:46 Even I admit he’s quite cute Nov 13 21:37:17 * Morgan nods, rocking him gently Nov 13 21:37:21 You just off out? Nov 13 21:37:46 Just to walk whilst my gaoler is hunting Nov 13 21:40:45 I hate to say it then but I've sent someone to bring him back... I have someone for him to meet Nov 13 21:41:30 *the baby yawns* Nov 13 21:42:12 hopefully now you’re here he’ll pick on you instead Nov 13 21:42:24 * Morgan shrugs Nov 13 21:42:37 This is Uinise... Uinise, this is my cousin Jarvinia... Nov 13 21:43:06 *they smile, greeting each other* Nov 13 21:45:55 *Mattais opens his eyes briefly, blinking at the light* Nov 13 21:46:19 Uinise is form Capperlucia... Nov 13 21:46:23 * Morgan smiles at the boy Nov 13 21:46:44 * Jarvie looks as interested in Uinise as Morgan is in the baby Nov 13 21:47:02 I have so many questions to ask you about your homeland Nov 13 21:47:32 * Morgan smiles slightly Nov 13 21:47:42 The women run things while the men stay home and care for the children... Nov 13 21:53:06 * Jarvie smiles “sounds perfect!l Nov 13 21:53:25 *Grendlik nods, looking at the baby* Yes it does Nov 13 21:53:44 * Morgan smiles, looking up from the child Nov 13 21:53:56 Do you know where my mother is? Since we're having to wait for my father... Nov 13 21:54:30 her morning room, we just left. How long are you staying? Nov 13 21:54:55 Couple of nights... few things to take care of... I do need to talk to you as well Nov 13 21:55:09 * Jarvie nods Nov 13 21:55:14 all staying here?
