**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Nov 18 07:51:22 2023 Nov 18 07:51:22 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Nov 18 10:15:20 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Nov 18 10:15:38 funny, we always said imagine how nice it’d be when they were all grown and in their own homes, and we’d have the house to ourselves Nov 18 10:15:39 * Ma watches the fire sadly Nov 18 10:15:39 * Morgan reaches over, squeezing her hand Nov 18 10:15:39 * Ma smiles gratefully Nov 18 10:15:39 amazing what you take for granted Nov 18 10:15:41 * Morgan nods Nov 18 10:15:45 Aye, it is Nov 18 10:18:30 I hope you don’t do that now Nov 18 10:18:37 * Molly is now known as Ma Nov 18 10:18:41 Not nearly so much Nov 18 10:19:15 * Ma nods Nov 18 10:19:47 I still talk to Da every night, do you do that? Nov 18 10:20:50 I used to get up for sunrise to spend time thinking about them... but... no, its rare that I speak to them, it always has been Nov 18 10:22:28 * Ma nods sadly Nov 18 10:22:39 what do you think you’d say, if you had the chance? Nov 18 10:22:53 * Morgan sighs Nov 18 10:22:59 That I miss them... that I'm sorry. Nov 18 10:25:29 * Ma nods Nov 18 10:26:00 there’s always regret Nov 18 10:26:16 * Morgan nods Nov 18 10:28:12 I regret lots of times I was so busy with the children and when I said harsh words I wished I could take back Nov 18 10:29:13 But that is marriage... parenthood... Nov 18 10:31:46 * Ma nods Nov 18 10:32:09 life’s full of regrets for the paths you didn’t take Nov 18 10:34:11 * Morgan nods Nov 18 10:34:13 I suppose it is Nov 18 10:35:39 * Ma nods Nov 18 10:36:11 I miss him. He’d be proud to see how you’ve picked up the pieces Nov 18 10:36:42 He'd have told me I was making a mistake in the first place Nov 18 10:38:09 * Ma sighs Nov 18 10:38:21 He’d have understood how much you loved her Nov 18 10:39:06 Yeah... but he would've told me I shouldn't anyway Nov 18 10:40:27 he probably would have Nov 18 10:41:17 * Morgan nods, sipping his ale Nov 18 10:42:20 not to hurt you though Nov 18 10:42:37 No, I know Nov 18 10:46:27 Do you regret it now? Nov 18 10:46:52 I regret parts of it, you know? Nov 18 10:48:28 what parts? Nov 18 10:48:46 All the pain I caused Nov 18 10:51:33 * Ma nods “that’s difficult “ Nov 18 10:52:42 * Morgan nods Nov 18 10:52:46 It really really is Nov 18 10:54:39 but if you hadn’t done what you did then, you wouldn’t be where you are now Nov 18 10:54:59 No... probably not Nov 18 10:59:26 You’ve had such a bad time of it, and you weren’t much more than a kid then really Nov 18 10:59:48 * Morgan nods Nov 18 10:59:52 No, I suppose not Nov 18 11:00:35 She was such a lovely girl Nov 18 11:00:44 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:01:03 Yes, she really was. So... -peaceful- Nov 18 11:02:29 * Ma nods Nov 18 11:02:41 Even as a little girl she was like that Nov 18 11:02:58 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:04:11 it was like she never really needed much. Some kids need to always be on the go, but she’d just happily sit quietly, especially if she was sewing Nov 18 11:04:29 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:04:42 We spent a lot of time just sitting together while she sewed Nov 18 11:06:04 * Ma nods Nov 18 11:06:33 I liked the idea of her and Heinzharold, but it wasn’t to be Nov 18 11:06:49 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:06:53 In another life maybe Nov 18 11:07:02 * Ma nods Nov 18 11:07:20 they made a handsome couple at the shadowfayre that year Nov 18 11:07:55 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:07:57 So I hear Nov 18 11:09:27 I like Inga though Nov 18 11:09:43 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:09:46 I love her to bits Nov 18 11:10:41 do they seem happy to you? Nov 18 11:10:51 * Morgan smiles, nodding Nov 18 11:10:57 Tremendously Nov 18 11:12:29 * Ma nods Nov 18 11:12:51 I didn’t think they wouldn’t live here Nov 18 11:14:05 No? Nov 18 11:15:46 it’s his home Nov 18 11:17:45 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:18:05 I didn't think I'd settle anywhere but Sudlachenburg Nov 18 11:18:19 will you come back one day? Nov 18 11:19:04 * Morgan sighs Nov 18 11:19:41 I don't know... Hafenlohr is much closer to Freiburg, and easier to get to... from a social and political point of view, its more... central. Nov 18 11:19:52 * Ma nods Nov 18 11:20:25 I wouldn’t want to move away Nov 18 11:20:36 Can't say I did really Nov 18 11:21:25 My family’s been here a very long time, and Da’s was too Nov 18 11:21:51 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:21:54 Aye, I know Nov 18 11:22:15 Did David tell you about the family research then? Nov 18 11:23:02 I heard, yes. HeinzHarold said he's gonn' call his first son thirteen Nov 18 11:23:14 He better not Nov 18 11:23:36 He won't. Made him cry a few days back Nov 18 11:23:42 why? Nov 18 11:24:15 He wanted me to lay the first stone for their house, since Da can't. Had the stone engraved without telling him Nov 18 11:26:18 did you? Nov 18 11:26:24 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:26:42 Just simple... it said 'For Da'. Nov 18 11:28:58 * Ma nods, swallowing hard “He’da loved that” Nov 18 11:29:29 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:29:44 Always gonn' be there with them now Nov 18 11:31:18 * Ma nods, taking a handkerchief and wiping her eyes Nov 18 11:32:10 Once the baptisms are all done, we're gonn' host Ruth for a little bit... gonn' get HeinzHarold to tell her all about Da Nov 18 11:32:43 * Ma nods Nov 18 11:32:54 It’s always been tough for her Nov 18 11:33:12 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:33:21 Think it'll do her good to spend some time with her brother Nov 18 11:35:44 * Ma nods Nov 18 11:35:56 She’s missed him, they all have Nov 18 11:36:20 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:36:32 He's not far now... there'll be time with him soon Nov 18 11:37:54 * Ma nods Nov 18 11:38:22 I hope Inga will take care of him right Nov 18 11:38:44 You don't need to worry. She loves him utterly Nov 18 11:39:06 I know, but no one ever loves a boy quite as much as his Ma Nov 18 11:39:21 I don't know about as much... but not the same, certainly Nov 18 11:39:38 * Ma nods Nov 18 11:40:03 what about your wife, how does she like having children? Nov 18 11:40:10 * Morgan smiles Nov 18 11:40:58 She loves it. They do these herbs in Capperlucia, so someone can make milk to feed the little ones... she's loving that, its created such a bond Nov 18 11:42:02 * Ma nods, smiling Nov 18 11:42:32 I miss nursing babbies Nov 18 11:42:46 You mean when they're quiet and not rebellious? Nov 18 11:43:07 it’s about the only time you know they’re not makin’ mischief Nov 18 11:43:38 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:43:45 Aye, thats true Nov 18 11:44:29 I suppose... I'd better tell you... Edward has a daughter from when he was off getting his nose fixed Nov 18 11:45:41 oh your Da must have gone mad! Nov 18 11:46:02 Apoplectic. And that was with me winding him up beforehand Nov 18 11:46:50 * Ma shakes her head “never make a mother of a woman ya wouldn’t make a wife of, Da always said” Nov 18 11:46:57 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:47:25 It wasn't intentional. But it is where we are now... the difficulty... is she is the spitting image of Jana Nov 18 11:47:57 * Ma nods sympathetically Nov 18 11:48:01 that’s hard Nov 18 11:48:05 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:48:10 You'll see her at the baptisms Nov 18 11:48:23 * Ma nods Nov 18 11:48:47 How have they decided to manage all that then? Is the mother out of the picture? Nov 18 11:49:43 Its complicated. I've set her up on an island I own... they're at Hafenlohr at the moment, so Edward can meet his daughter Nov 18 11:52:11 was she a working girl? Nov 18 11:52:52 No, just someone he met in a tavern... she is actually of noble birth but... she doesn't speak to her family Nov 18 11:54:47 what a mess! Nov 18 11:55:13 Just a bit. But we'll make it work Nov 18 11:55:54 And him newly married too! Nov 18 11:56:24 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:56:26 indeed Nov 18 11:57:19 there’ll be a lot of gossip Nov 18 11:57:43 Undoubtedly. We can only do what we can with that Nov 18 11:58:15 * Ma nods Nov 18 11:58:37 she must be a toddler now? Nov 18 11:59:07 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:59:23 Looks -just- like Jana. Its... difficult. Nov 18 11:59:49 do you feel jealous? Nov 18 12:00:04 Its hardly fair, is it Nov 18 12:00:13 no, it’s not Nov 18 12:01:02 * Ma smiles a little “Da used to say ‘life’s not fair, but you can be’” Nov 18 12:01:09 * Morgan nods Nov 18 12:01:13 That rather stuck with me Nov 18 12:01:19 * Ma nods Nov 18 12:01:39 I thought Sascha might have one that looked like Dietlinde Nov 18 12:02:20 I wouldn't be surprised... Nov 18 12:02:34 that won’t be quite so bad though Nov 18 12:03:05 No... I expect not Nov 18 12:03:25 it’d be a long time before you’d really be able to tell Nov 18 12:03:48 * Morgan nods Nov 18 12:03:55 Yeah, thats true I suppose Nov 18 12:04:52 People were really surprised she caught again after so long Nov 18 12:05:02 * Morgan nods Nov 18 12:05:05 So was I Nov 18 12:05:36 I thought Otto was much too sick Nov 18 12:07:31 * Morgan nods Nov 18 12:07:45 He got some treatment that seems to have turned it around Nov 18 12:09:54 * Ma nods Nov 18 12:10:13 I hope she gets through it. Twins can be risky Nov 18 12:10:47 Molly's coming back to help... Nov 18 12:13:04 has she helped at a lot of birthings? Nov 18 12:13:35 A couple, but she is an exceptional medic Nov 18 12:13:47 * Ma nods Nov 18 12:14:07 Any help is good, god knows they don’t call it labour for nothing Nov 18 12:14:16 * Morgan nods Nov 18 12:18:06 *He and Emilene talk a long time about their memories of Da, and of those days so long ago where Morgan was a child and he'd been welcomed in. He helps clean up after a very nice but simple dinner, and they drink a little whiskey. It's when she yawns that he realises he's been here hours longer than intended, and it's half after ten. Nov 18 12:18:50 I'd best be getting back Nov 18 12:23:48 * Ma nods Nov 18 12:24:08 it’s getting on a bit. I’ve enjoyed having you though Nov 18 12:24:16 * Morgan smiles Nov 18 12:24:22 I've really enjoyed this evening Nov 18 12:24:56 * Ma nods, going to open the door for him “I’ll see you for the baptisms if not before” Nov 18 12:26:04 * Morgan nods, kissing her cheek before starting to make his way back to the big house Nov 18 12:27:56 *it’s dark and drizzly now, and he passes through the town, people already home for the night. everything is so utterly familiar here that he could walk it with his eyes closed. The quicker route is the one with the turnings for his old home Nov 18 12:28:28 * Morgan goes that way Nov 18 12:29:27 *this way is still quiet, and when he catches a glimpse through the trees it’s the Forrester home he sees, no ruin anymore Nov 18 12:29:54 * Morgan sighs, looking at it for a moment before carrying on Nov 18 12:30:45 *the courtyard is quiet, the stables settled for the night. there’s the option of going to the graveyard or going straight to the Veisgraf Wing Nov 18 12:31:01 * Morgan heads for the house Nov 18 12:31:49 *When he gets upstairs there is a warm firelight from the parlour* Nov 18 12:32:02 * Morgan moves to the door, listening Nov 18 12:32:10 *it’s quiet Nov 18 12:32:18 * Morgan goes into the parlour Nov 18 12:32:24 * Ma is now known as Claudia Nov 18 12:32:33 * Claudia is sat reading alone Nov 18 12:32:46 Why aren't you in bed? Its late Nov 18 12:32:55 waiting to see you Nov 18 12:45:54 Shouldn't be wasting time you could have with Uinise Nov 18 12:48:52 shut up. whiskey? Nov 18 12:49:25 * Morgan nods Nov 18 12:49:26 yeah Nov 18 12:49:36 * Claudia pours him one Nov 18 12:49:44 how was his Ma? Nov 18 12:50:16 * Morgan nods, taking a mouthful Nov 18 12:50:22 She's good. Lonely I think Nov 18 12:50:41 * Claudia nods Nov 18 12:51:03 I guess so Nov 18 12:52:05 I think she's upset HeinzHarold isn't coming to live here Nov 18 12:52:56 let’s be honest, it looked like he was going to live with her forever Nov 18 12:53:06 * Morgan nods Nov 18 12:53:08 yeah Nov 18 12:54:10 * Claudia sits back down Nov 18 12:54:15 how you doing? Nov 18 12:54:25 I'm fine Nov 18 12:54:44 * Claudia nods Nov 18 12:55:04 dinner was tense Nov 18 12:55:46 * Morgan nods Nov 18 12:55:49 I'm sorry about that Nov 18 12:56:41 * Claudia shrugs Nov 18 12:56:49 is what it is Nov 18 12:57:13 He didn't give you any issues? Nov 18 12:57:42 no, barely spoke at all Nov 18 12:57:52 * Morgan sighs, nodding Nov 18 12:58:33 it was mostly Uinise and Jarvie chatting away Nov 18 12:58:49 Figured they'd get along Nov 18 12:59:11 they do, really well Nov 18 12:59:37 Suppose Jarvie is as close to Capperlucian as you can get really Nov 18 13:00:26 * Claudia nods Nov 18 13:01:19 she’d be a good ambassador Nov 18 13:01:54 Thats what I told the Eisenfurst Nov 18 13:02:05 * Claudia nods Nov 18 13:02:47 I told Uinise I think we’re still here until Tuesday Nov 18 13:03:12 * Morgan nods Nov 18 13:03:29 Mother was very firm that she didn't want me disappearing Nov 18 13:03:46 * Claudia nods Nov 18 13:04:02 you need it sorted before you go home Nov 18 13:04:16 * Morgan nods, downing his drink Nov 18 13:04:38 I've got a nasty feeling this is the last time I'll be here until I am Graf Nov 18 13:04:43 * Claudia pours him another Nov 18 13:07:08 At least you’ve got somewhere else to be Nov 18 13:07:36 * Morgan shrugs, slumping into a chair Nov 18 13:08:54 * Claudia gives him the glass Nov 18 13:09:10 * Morgan takes it, taking another large mouthful Nov 18 13:09:20 he’s not stupid enough to make a new rift, surely? Nov 18 13:09:38 Its a big issue Nov 18 13:10:56 * Claudia nods Nov 18 13:11:29 yeah, but he’s going to have to get used to it Nov 18 13:11:38 I'm not sure he will Nov 18 13:12:57 * Claudia drinks some Nov 18 13:13:04 might take time Nov 18 13:13:25 * Morgan shrugs, staring at his dink miserably Nov 18 13:15:30 * Claudia just sits quietly with him Nov 18 13:16:09 * Morgan sighs Nov 18 13:16:15 I'm dreading sleeping Nov 18 13:16:52 * Claudia nods Nov 18 13:17:03 excepting a rough one Nov 18 13:17:25 Yeah... Nov 18 13:20:25 but the sooner it’s done, the sooner we can get back to Hafenlohr Nov 18 13:20:42 * Morgan nods, sighing heavily Nov 18 13:20:47 Yeah... Nov 18 13:21:55 * Claudia nods Nov 18 13:22:07 wake me, okay? if you need company or anything Nov 18 13:22:22 * Morgan nods Nov 18 13:22:26 alright Nov 18 13:23:53 is it too late to speak to Molly now? *its about quarter after eleven* Nov 18 13:24:20 * Morgan shrugs Nov 18 13:24:29 I'll have a quick look before I try to sleep Nov 18 13:25:03 * Claudia nods Nov 18 13:25:12 Did you bring the tobacco? Nov 18 13:25:28 * Morgan nods Nov 18 13:25:32 I've got a little yes Nov 18 13:25:44 Enough to share? *she smiles* Nov 18 13:25:53 * Morgan nods Nov 18 13:25:59 Yeah, I'll get it Nov 18 13:26:28 *it’s in his bag with his things* Nov 18 13:26:37 * Morgan goes to get it Nov 18 13:27:05 *it’s easily found* Nov 18 13:27:37 * Morgan takes it back through, putting in in front of Claudia Nov 18 13:28:04 * Claudia gets it set up before holding it for him to light Nov 18 13:28:17 * Morgan does so Nov 18 13:28:36 * Claudia takes some before handing the pipe over Nov 18 13:29:09 * Morgan takes it, sighing before drawing on it and handing it back Nov 18 13:30:03 *the euphoria and pleasant buzz hits as usual* Nov 18 13:30:27 * Morgan sips his whiskey Nov 18 13:30:39 it’ll help you sleep Nov 18 13:32:14 * Morgan nods, finishing his drink Nov 18 13:32:19 I'm going to try to sleep Nov 18 13:32:43 * Claudia nods, taking more from the pipe between handing it over Nov 18 13:32:47 night, Morgan Nov 18 13:33:16 Night Claudia Nov 18 13:33:26 * Morgan takes the pipe, putting it out and going through to the bedroom Nov 18 13:35:54 *it’s quiet in here, the bed neatly remade. The nightmare trap has been moved to the window here instead Nov 18 13:36:18 * Morgan sighs, checking the mirror briefly Nov 18 13:39:45 *it says Four: I hope it wasn’t too bad. Please let me know. Six: I hope you’re just busy. Perhaps I’ll see you when you return from Ma’s. I love you xx. Ten: Thinking of you, my love, and praying you are well. Eleven: I miss you. I love you, no matter what has happened. Goodnight, my darling MKxx” Nov 18 13:40:39 * Morgan writes a note 'I'm sorry love, it went badly and I went into town. Its coming on for midnight and I'm only just now back. I'm going to try to sleep. I love you" Nov 18 13:41:41 *There’s no change or reply* Nov 18 13:42:10 * Morgan packs it away, getting undressed and into bed to try to sleep Nov 18 13:43:10 ((lots of pasting incoming)) Nov 18 13:43:41 *with the cloth that smells of her beside him on the pillow he eventually falls asleep. He dreams hazily. He's in his office at Hafenlohr, sitting at the desk waiting for Reverend Loewe to arrive. Molly is sat reading by the window, the light pretty. She looks so beautiful to him, peaceful, very feminine with her pale pink dress clinging to her bump. Nov 18 13:44:00 *she's radiant with it, her body so changed by that intense morning of passion seven months ago where he'd held her hands down and sucked and bitten her neck as he'd spilled himself into her with immense pleasure. Now she's cleaved to him, and the world can see his possession of her body Nov 18 13:44:23 *he's achingly hard beneath the desk. He doesn't have to be able to smell her, just the memory of the scent and new taste of her can do it. He'd really prefer to bend her over that chair and pound her, but there's no time. Nor does he want to be so frustrated. So he opens one side of his placket, puts his hand in, and begins stroking himself fast. Nov 18 13:44:45 *it's very enjoyable just being able to look at her breasts, stomach, and thighs whilst she's busy, and he's rapidly building. He'd only had her in their bed two hours ago, but he urgently needs to spend again. He works himself harder. Nov 18 13:45:04 *she glances over very briefly with a little smile before looking back at her book, smiling slightly “That's it, my love, grip your beautiful hard cock and rub it whilst you look at me. You want to cum before he comes” Nov 18 13:45:25 *he groans, manhood twitching in his hand. She still nonchalantly looks at the book, smiling slightly. He quietly says “more, please!” She licks her finger and then turns the page. “Tighten your fist, I want you to hold your prick like my stretched ass does.” Nov 18 13:45:48 **His pleasure builds rapidly at the extremely dirty words that come from her even when she looks so sweet and composed. He does what she says, making a quiet noise of enjoyment. “Now faster, liebling, as if you are fucking my rear roughly, stretching and filling me”. He does this too, fuck it's so good, precum coating his head. Nov 18 13:46:08 **”Moll, that's close!” His thighs rhythmically pull together, starting to swell a little. She smiles again “No. Hold off, breathe” He does so, it's so pleasurable but also difficult “I can't…!” He groans softly again, trying to breathe and let it build. Nov 18 13:46:32 **She nods “that's good… it feels so good to have your hard cock in your hand, doesn't it? You're arousing me greatly, my love” He gasps, gritting his teeth as the sensation gets stronger. He wants to cum, -needs- to cum, so badly. “Please, blossom!” Nov 18 13:46:57 *she turns another page, still not looking. She looks so very sweet and dignified gently rubbing her belly that it's hard to believe it when she says “Now, grip your gorgeous cock tighter, and jerk it as hard and fast as you can, we're going to make you pump that hot thick cum all over yourself whilst you spend for me”* Nov 18 13:47:24 *he does, urgently working his manhood in his fist, and then he swells, the sheer bliss of it taking him, grunting as it does, his gaze on her body as he peaks. She still looks at the book but he sees the flush on her chest that displays her arousal at talking dirty to him to get him off* Nov 18 13:47:48 *In the dream, he finally looses his load into his trousers, but in reality he wakes with just the pleasure of it, a mild version of the dry orgasm she'd given him the last time they were intimate, days ago now* ((done)) Nov 18 13:48:28 * Morgan breathes slowly, trying to calm down while he checks the time Nov 18 13:49:00 *it’s only about four o’clock* Nov 18 13:49:25 * Morgan rolls over, trying to go back to sleep Nov 18 13:49:49 *this is understandably rather difficult after his dream* Nov 18 13:50:03 * Morgan tries all the same Nov 18 13:52:02 *He starts to dream, following the red stag through the forest again, no gun, the leaves now gone. The stag stands still, watching him. He manages to only just touch his fur before the dawn watch chimes and it bolts for the trees. He realises he’s dreaming* Nov 18 13:53:40 * Morgan tries to wake Nov 18 13:54:15 *he manages this fine* Nov 18 13:54:48 * Morgan climbs out of bed, getting dressed quickly Nov 18 13:55:24 *he’s definitely going to feel the aching today, but it’s not horrendous* Nov 18 13:56:06 * Morgan goes to splash cold water on his face before leaving the suite and going outside, going to stand on the shoreline of the lake Nov 18 13:56:51 *it’s dry, and the Sudlache laps at the bank quietly as the dark lifts towards half light Nov 18 13:57:11 * Morgan stares out at the horizon, just waiting Nov 18 13:57:42 *the dawn comes as the sun rises over the lake to the east Nov 18 13:58:37 * Morgan sighs heavily, moving from the waters edge to practice his drills from his academy days Nov 18 13:59:33 *There’s no sign of Claudia even by the time he is done* Nov 18 13:59:57 * Morgan goes back up to his suite to get washed Nov 18 14:00:47 *the women still aren’t up once he’s had chance for a quick bath* Nov 18 14:01:18 * Morgan listens briefly at the door for signs of life Nov 18 14:02:03 *the sounds are there, very quietly, but they do seem to be waking each other pleasantly* Nov 18 14:02:51 * Morgan goes back into the parlour, pulling the bell pull Nov 18 14:03:52 *it’s only a few minutes later that a maid appears “good morning, your Excellency” Nov 18 14:04:14 morning. Could you have some coffee sent up please, and some breakfast for me Nov 18 14:04:29 *She nods* Yes, your Excellency Nov 18 14:04:42 * Morgan thanks her, sitting to wait Nov 18 14:05:09 *he gets it a little while later* Nov 18 14:05:46 * Morgan takes it through to his room, checking the mirror while he eats Nov 18 14:07:09 *he sees the paper being pulled off by a tiny hand before he sees the twisting view as it falls towards the floor* Nov 18 14:07:28 * Morgan watches Nov 18 14:08:31 *It lands on the floor, thankfully safely* E: Bah! Bah! Nov 18 14:08:37 * Claudia is now known as Molly Nov 18 14:09:06 *from the bathroom she calls* Emil, what are you doing?! Nov 18 14:09:25 Dropping things on the floor Nov 18 14:09:47 *He sees Emil look over the edge of the bed, drooling* Bah! Vah-eee! Nov 18 14:10:03 Hello little lamb... stay there... Nov 18 14:11:10 * Molly comes in, he gets a brief view up under her towel of her soapy inner thighs Nov 18 14:11:24 You were fast asleep a moment ago! Nov 18 14:11:29 No I wasn't Nov 18 14:12:22 * Molly gently picks the mirror up, propping it up Nov 18 14:12:30 I’m sorry, my love Nov 18 14:12:41 * Morgan nods a little Nov 18 14:12:52 Its alright. Did make me feel a little dizzy mind Nov 18 14:13:07 * Molly gathers up the baby, sitting on the bed Nov 18 14:13:14 E: Bah! Nov 18 14:15:40 * Morgan looks at them Nov 18 14:15:42 How are you? Nov 18 14:16:13 *Emil starts agressively pulling at the towel* Nov 18 14:16:39 I’m, frankly, just extremely worried about you. He is apparently just hungry Nov 18 14:17:09 * Morgan nods Nov 18 14:17:20 * Molly lowers the towel, letting the baby have at her bare breasts Nov 18 14:20:13 what happened? Nov 18 14:20:21 * Molly gasps as he latches “gently, little lamb!” Nov 18 14:20:25 As expected, he went mad Nov 18 14:20:48 * Molly nods sadly Nov 18 14:20:59 Worse than anticipated? Nov 18 14:21:16 * Morgan shrugs Nov 18 14:21:30 About as expected. Nov 18 14:22:10 * Molly nods, holding the towel to the other breast as the let down hits Nov 18 14:22:26 where does it stand now? Nov 18 14:23:32 * Morgan shrugs Nov 18 14:24:33 I don't know. He went for a walk, I spoke to mother a little while and then went into town before going to Emilines... then I came back to the Veisgraf wing... I've been out for sunrise and practice but, as you can see, I'm having breakfast here Nov 18 14:24:48 * Molly nods Nov 18 14:25:11 first thing tomorrow you’ll be on the way home Nov 18 14:26:41 * Morgan nods Nov 18 14:26:51 I don't know if I can fix it Nov 18 14:27:24 * Molly nods sadly Nov 18 14:27:46 he’s always been so strongly against it Nov 18 14:28:15 * Morgan nods Nov 18 14:28:17 He has, yes Nov 18 14:29:18 Perhaps some focus on doing whatever other things you still need to finish there? Nov 18 14:29:30 * Morgan shrugs Nov 18 14:29:37 Aside from visiting the graves... Nov 18 14:29:53 You’ve finished seeing Sascha and Otto? Nov 18 14:30:14 I saw them yesterday Nov 18 14:30:31 * Molly nods Nov 18 14:30:57 Are there things from your old room you wish to bring? Or your Zweihander? Nov 18 14:31:20 * Morgan nods Nov 18 14:31:28 Probably best had. Not sure I'll be welcome here again Nov 18 14:32:10 * Molly sighs Nov 18 14:32:14 oh my love Nov 18 14:33:24 It is what it is Nov 18 14:33:39 I wish I was there to help Nov 18 14:33:55 Now amount of shouting at him would help Nov 18 14:34:38 Do you want to see if the Nibelungen could make him forget? Nov 18 14:35:09 No. Its a choice that will remain made. Nov 18 14:35:47 * Molly nods Nov 18 14:36:29 it’s unfair. we shouldn’t have to go through so much to save the world Nov 18 14:37:06 No. Its not fair at all but as has been proven, the person who could do something about it, show no interest. Nov 18 14:38:32 * Molly nods Nov 18 14:39:34 it’s difficult Nov 18 14:40:01 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Nov 18 14:40:35 how did you sleep? Nov 18 14:40:58 Not too badly. I used the tobacco before I slept Nov 18 14:41:07 * Molly nods Nov 18 14:41:12 that is good Nov 18 14:41:19 * Morgan nods Nov 18 14:41:43 everything is more bearable if you’re rested Nov 18 14:42:03 * Morgan nods Nov 18 14:42:05 I suppose so Nov 18 14:42:21 * Molly swaps him to the other breast Nov 18 14:42:32 we found frogs Nov 18 14:42:41 Oh? Nov 18 14:43:14 There’s many in the lake, the boys loved it Nov 18 14:45:07 * Morgan nods Nov 18 14:45:09 good Nov 18 14:45:28 when you’re home we’ll do it Nov 18 14:45:34 * Morgan nods Nov 18 14:45:39 alright Nov 18 14:46:18 we’ll be alright m my love Nov 18 14:46:38 * Morgan nods, sighing Nov 18 14:46:43 Aye we'll have to be Nov 18 14:46:53 * Molly nods Nov 18 14:47:06 we have our friends, the children, Edward Nov 18 14:47:14 * Morgan nods Nov 18 14:47:24 Assuming father doesn't forbid him from having anything to do with me Nov 18 14:47:40 I don’t think that would work Nov 18 14:47:55 * Morgan shrugs Nov 18 14:48:02 I don't know that would matter to him Nov 18 14:48:10 to Edward? Nov 18 14:48:30 My father. I don't know what Edward would do Nov 18 14:48:49 he seems at peace with our talents Nov 18 14:49:11 Yes but... he practically worships our father Nov 18 14:49:53 he does, but I don’t think that would matter Nov 18 14:50:02 * Morgan shrugs Nov 18 14:50:10 I'm not so sure Nov 18 14:51:15 we’ll cross that bridge if we get there Nov 18 14:51:52 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Nov 18 14:51:58 What do you have planned for today? Nov 18 14:52:53 * Molly rolls her eyes Nov 18 14:53:03 Maubourg is coming at two o’clock Nov 18 14:53:32 * Morgan nods Nov 18 14:53:38 Be nice, please Nov 18 14:53:45 * Molly frowns Nov 18 14:53:57 I’m not going to damage the relationship with him Nov 18 14:54:19 I know that. I wasn't suggesting you would Nov 18 14:54:37 * Molly nods Nov 18 14:54:48 this morning we are going to find the hollow tree Nov 18 14:56:55 * Morgan nods Nov 18 14:56:57 Be careful please Nov 18 14:57:19 you are fretting about us Nov 18 14:57:26 Of course Nov 18 14:57:55 we’re fine, my love, I can keep us safe Nov 18 14:58:02 * Morgan nods Nov 18 14:58:05 Alright love Nov 18 14:59:16 what will you do? Nov 18 14:59:35 Finish my breakfast, go and visit the graves... stay out of the way Nov 18 15:00:15 * Molly nods Nov 18 15:00:49 it will be good for you to go there I think Nov 18 15:03:13 * Morgan shrugs Nov 18 15:03:20 perhaps. Its been tougher being here than I expected Nov 18 15:03:36 like with the cup... Nov 18 15:04:09 * Morgan nods Nov 18 15:04:30 yes... everything here reminds me of her, of you, of the boys... Nov 18 15:04:42 * Molly nods Nov 18 15:05:05 it all reminds you of what you can’t have right now? Nov 18 15:05:16 I suppose so Nov 18 15:05:42 we miss you Nov 18 15:05:57 * Morgan nods Nov 18 15:06:08 I miss you too. Im looking forward to being back Nov 18 15:06:14 * Molly nods Nov 18 15:06:23 it will be extremely late tomorrow? Nov 18 15:06:56 * Morgan nods Nov 18 15:07:00 Aye it will Nov 18 15:07:25 * Molly nods, sitting Emil up to burp him Nov 18 15:09:25 the bed will be much warmer Nov 18 15:09:50 * Morgan nods Nov 18 15:09:53 aye Nov 18 15:11:14 *Emil burps before then leaning into her “Ee-bah” Nov 18 15:11:39 Any idea? Nov 18 15:11:54 * Molly shakes her head Nov 18 15:12:21 sadly no Nov 18 15:14:42 * Morgan nods, sighing Nov 18 15:15:35 *Emil looks to the mirror* Vah-eee EE-bah Uhh gah! Nov 18 15:16:13 Something about... Inga? Nov 18 15:17:13 He does occassionally do it if she’s there, but it’s normally when hugging me. Maybe it is a mama hug? Nov 18 15:17:46 * Morgan sighs, shrugging Nov 18 15:18:36 *There’s noise from the other room* Nov 18 15:18:53 Oh! I need a robs *she’s still bare breasted* Nov 18 15:19:08 * Morgan nods Nov 18 15:19:12 Go on then Nov 18 15:19:39 * Molly props Emil up. He babbles away to Morgan happily Nov 18 15:20:23 * Morgan nods, talking to him Nov 18 15:21:21 *Emil chuckles, just so genuinely delighted to see Morgan* Nov 18 15:25:55 * Morgan pulls faces at him Nov 18 15:26:39 *Emil laughs more* Nov 18 15:29:20 * Morgan smiles, chatting with him some more Nov 18 15:30:23 *He manages to nudge the mirror and tip it, so he gets a view of her bare back and bottom* Nov 18 15:30:51 Oh Emil, you're a clumsy little lamb aren't you Nov 18 15:31:50 *Molly pulls a shift on, losing him his pleasant view* Nov 18 15:31:57 oh dear, what’s he done? Nov 18 15:32:17 Just knocked the mirror a bit Nov 18 15:32:41 * Molly turns to look, fully covered Nov 18 15:33:02 oh! did you see something you liked, mon petit chou? Nov 18 15:34:53 It wasn't something I disliked, certainly Nov 18 15:36:50 * Molly smiles, picking up the mirror and giving him a purposeful view down of her cleavage for a moment “a pleasant memory for when you’re more at ease” Nov 18 15:37:26 * Morgan smiles, nodding Nov 18 15:38:19 * Molly gets it propped up again just as Varick comes in in his nightgown Nov 18 15:38:24 V: Vati! Nov 18 15:39:20 Varick, good morning Nov 18 15:39:55 V: yesterday I counted twelve frogs, but they said they’re laying eggs soon Nov 18 15:40:21 So lots of frogs soon then Nov 18 15:41:44 V: *he nods* I told Ulysses not to eat them Nov 18 15:42:28 Good idea... that'd be sad Nov 18 15:43:41 V: Ballard sleeps here now Nov 18 15:44:04 * Morgan nods Nov 18 15:44:13 Mama showed me. I'm very glad Nov 18 15:45:04 V: he is happy now Nov 18 15:45:11 * Morgan nods Nov 18 15:45:20 Mama told me you helped her heal his scars.... I'm very grateful Nov 18 15:46:27 V: he had a lot of orchids Nov 18 15:46:33 ouchies* Nov 18 15:46:49 * Morgan nods Nov 18 15:46:52 Yes, he did Nov 18 15:47:30 V: now it doesn’t hurt Nov 18 15:48:33 * Morgan nods Nov 18 15:48:40 Good... I really am very happy about that Nov 18 15:48:53 V: *he nods* he runs really fast now Nov 18 15:49:20 Does he? Nov 18 15:50:41 *Varick nods* he’s faster than a bullet! Nov 18 15:51:04 Wow Nov 18 15:52:45 Mauschen, can you sit with Emil whilst I get dressed? Nov 18 15:53:04 *Varick nods, putting his arm around the baby* Nov 18 15:53:08 * Molly is now known as Varick Nov 18 15:53:15 when are you coming home? Nov 18 15:53:52 Tomorrow night all being well, but it'll be after you are in bed Nov 18 15:56:35 I wish you were coming today so I can climb the hollow tree Nov 18 15:56:56 * Morgan nods Nov 18 15:57:10 I know... there's some things I still need to do... its not too far away though Nov 18 15:57:51 * Varick nods Nov 18 15:58:04 I like it better when you’re here Nov 18 15:58:32 * Morgan nods Nov 18 15:59:07 I know. Soon. Nov 18 15:59:52 do you miss us? Nov 18 16:00:11 * Morgan nods Nov 18 16:00:13 terribly Nov 18 16:00:36 * Varick nods Nov 18 16:00:52 did you see my Grandmas and Grandpas Nov 18 16:01:05 * Morgan nods Nov 18 16:01:16 Yes , I have. They're looking forward to seeing you Nov 18 16:01:55 My baptism is soon! Nov 18 16:02:01 * Morgan nods Nov 18 16:02:19 Yes it is, very soon. I've spoken to Walder and Heinrich about having them come too Nov 18 16:02:47 * Varick nods excitedly Nov 18 16:03:03 Are Rickon and Jacques coming?! Nov 18 16:04:12 * Morgan nods Nov 18 16:06:39 Yes! Nov 18 16:07:19 * Morgan smiles Nov 18 16:07:23 Thought you'd be pleased about that Nov 18 16:09:11 I want to show them my frogs Nov 18 16:09:21 * Morgan nods Nov 18 16:10:13 They'll like that I imagine Nov 18 16:10:24 * Varick nods Nov 18 16:10:52 they will think my house is really good Nov 18 16:11:45 * Morgan nods Nov 18 16:11:48 I expect so, yes Nov 18 16:12:37 *he hears Molly sigh from the other room* Nov 18 16:13:30 You alright blossom? Nov 18 16:13:59 Mama is always sad when her dresses don’t fit. That’s why I am having a wolf wife Nov 18 16:14:19 *She calls* I’m fine Nov 18 16:14:41 It'll be alright Nov 18 16:15:49 I think Mama is perfect just like she is Nov 18 16:15:58 Me too Nov 18 16:19:29 *Varick chats about the lake some more. Emil is happily playing with the rattle. When Molly comes back in she looks happy enough Nov 18 16:19:34 * Varick is now known as Molly Nov 18 16:20:08 I’m afraid it’s time to get the children dressed and ready for breakfast before we all go out Nov 18 16:20:19 * Morgan nods Nov 18 16:20:21 Alright love Nov 18 16:20:54 will you be here for Quiet Hour, or should I not expect you? Nov 18 16:21:28 I wouldn't imagine so... I don't know for sure but... I've no idea how things will be today Nov 18 16:22:28 alright, I’ll find something to entertain myself with. Will you leave me a note about this evening? Nov 18 16:23:01 * Morgan nods Nov 18 16:23:04 Aye love Nov 18 16:23:22 take care, liebling, I love you Nov 18 16:23:31 And I you, all of you Nov 18 16:32:57 V: I love you Vati Nov 18 16:33:09 E: vah-eee Nov 18 16:33:26 * Morgan smiles, blowing them a kiss before covering the mirror Nov 18 16:34:27 *it seems very quiet comparatively Nov 18 16:35:21 * Morgan puts the mirror away, going back out to the parlour with what's left of his breakfast Nov 18 16:35:41 *Claudia comes out of the bed room* hey Nov 18 16:35:45 * Molly is now known as Claudia Nov 18 16:35:57 Hey Nov 18 16:37:32 how was it? Nov 18 16:38:15 Surprisingly, I've had worse nights Nov 18 16:38:53 no nightmares or paths? Nov 18 16:39:03 No, just dreams Nov 18 16:39:11 * Claudia smiles Nov 18 16:39:19 good, I’m relieved for you Nov 18 16:39:32 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Nov 18 16:41:31 I’m gonna get cleaned up Nov 18 16:41:44 * Morgan nods Nov 18 16:41:48 Alright Nov 18 16:44:36 * Claudia goes into the bathroom. A minute passes before Uinise leaves the bedroom after her, looking all mussed up and well-spent Nov 18 16:44:41 * Claudia is now known as Uinise Nov 18 16:44:49 Good morning Nov 18 16:45:29 Morning Uinise Nov 18 16:45:48 * Uinise smiles “It is. do you have coffee?” Nov 18 16:46:02 * Morgan nods, pouring some for her Nov 18 16:47:41 You are enjoying talking to my cousin? Nov 18 16:48:44 * Uinise sips some before making a sigh of pleasure “oh I needed coffee. I do, she’s very clever” Nov 18 16:49:31 * Morgan nods Nov 18 16:50:04 She is. She's a little unusual, as far as Eisen society is concerned Nov 18 16:51:24 I like her Nov 18 16:51:42 * Morgan nods Nov 18 16:51:51 Me too Nov 18 16:53:33 * Uinise smiles Nov 18 16:53:52 did you have a good dinner? Nov 18 16:54:42 * Morgan nods Nov 18 16:54:54 It was nice, I haven't spent time with Emiline in quite a while Nov 18 16:56:00 That’s Heinzharold’s mother? Nov 18 16:56:34 * Morgan nods Nov 18 16:56:35 Thats right Nov 18 16:57:23 how do your social rules work with her? It’s confusing Nov 18 16:57:51 * Morgan nods Nov 18 16:58:09 Its a bit tough to describe... socially speaking I shouldn't really have had anything to do with HeinzHarold or his family Nov 18 16:58:43 why do you? Nov 18 16:59:14 Because... my parents thought having a friend was good for me... and HeinzHarold and I have always been close Nov 18 17:01:29 * Uinise nods Nov 18 17:01:38 But that is not normal in your world Nov 18 17:01:57 No, it isn't. I was very lucky Nov 18 17:02:37 I like Heinzharold Nov 18 17:02:50 * Morgan nods Nov 18 17:02:54 He's a good man Nov 18 17:04:05 I like you too Nov 18 17:04:17 * Morgan smiles Nov 18 17:04:30 I'm glad. Your opinion of me matters a good deal Nov 18 17:04:53 * Uinise nods Nov 18 17:06:50 I like your family too, but I think there is a lot of not-talking talking going on Nov 18 17:07:00 * Morgan nods Nov 18 17:07:06 Yes, you are quite right Nov 18 17:08:25 It’s very strange to me. It makes the air feel heavy, like a storm Nov 18 17:08:33 * Morgan nods Nov 18 17:08:59 Thats a very good description. Its sometimes referred to as atmosphere so thick you could cut it with a knife Nov 18 17:11:02 * Uinise shakes her head Nov 18 17:11:11 you can’t cut the air Nov 18 17:11:27 Its just an expression Nov 18 17:16:38 why don’t you all just be honest about how you feel? Nov 18 17:17:38 I don't see it'd do any good. My father is angry with me and nothing I say will change that Nov 18 17:19:34 * Uinise nods sadly Nov 18 17:19:53 what do people do to help others when they are sad here? Nov 18 17:20:15 It varies... some of us hug one another Nov 18 17:21:39 We always hug. shall I hug you? Nov 18 17:22:04 I know you aren't particularly keen on that Nov 18 17:22:53 I want to hug you so you feel happy Nov 18 17:23:06 * Morgan nods, getting up so she can Nov 18 17:25:13 * Uinise hugs him. She smells of that incense Nov 18 17:25:27 * Morgan hugs her gently Nov 18 17:26:56 Clowdia hugs harder than you Nov 18 17:27:07 * Morgan nods Nov 18 17:27:24 I'm being gentle. I didn't want to make you uncomfortable Nov 18 17:28:55 it’s okay, do you feel better? Nov 18 17:29:14 * Morgan nods Nov 18 17:29:17 A bit, thank you Nov 18 17:30:07 * Uinise smiles Nov 18 17:30:51 you must want to get home for the Toika e li Toika. Nov 18 17:34:20 The what? Nov 18 17:39:33 it is a thing that happens in Capperlucia, mostly if one partner has been away or they have been separated. You lie together naked and put your hearts next to each other so they can talk again Nov 18 17:41:08 I have not heard of that. Nov 18 17:41:37 It is nice. I did that with Clowdia Nov 18 17:42:06 Oh? When was that? I didn't think you'd been apart long Nov 18 17:43:09 No, you can do it to feel a heart connection too. it was at your home when there was the stick and ball game Nov 18 17:43:30 Ah... good Nov 18 17:45:28 It doesn’t have to be sexual Nov 18 17:46:00 * Morgan nods Nov 18 17:46:08 That sounds lovely Nov 18 17:46:16 * Uinise smiles Nov 18 17:46:23 you should do that Nov 18 17:46:28 * Morgan nods Nov 18 17:46:34 I will tell Molly about it when we return Nov 18 17:46:57 * Uinise smiles Nov 18 17:47:58 I think she would like that Nov 18 17:48:16 * Morgan nods Nov 18 17:48:19 I think you're right Nov 18 17:49:25 do you miss her? Nov 18 17:49:52 * Morgan nods Nov 18 17:49:58 Very much Nov 18 17:51:14 I hope we haven’t made you sad by having a room together Nov 18 17:52:12 No, you haven't. I'm happy that Claudia is happy, you know? Nov 18 17:52:28 * Uinise smiles Nov 18 17:52:46 She is wonderful Nov 18 17:53:18 * Morgan nods Nov 18 17:54:07 My heart is very strong for her Nov 18 17:54:17 * Morgan smiles, sitting down Nov 18 17:54:20 That is lovely Nov 18 17:54:31 * Uinise nods Nov 18 17:54:51 I like to make her happy Nov 18 17:55:10 * Morgan nods Nov 18 17:55:13 I've never seen her this happy Nov 18 17:57:08 * Uinise smiles “I am proud to do that. It is very different to feel like this in Theah Main” Nov 18 17:57:26 Is it? Because you can't be open with it? Nov 18 17:57:43 * Uinise nods Nov 18 17:58:13 At home we would hold hands in public and all the things you and Molly would do with each other Nov 18 17:58:40 * Morgan nods Nov 18 17:59:35 Realistically, even between Molly and I its... not common. Socially speaking, we touch more than is accepted Nov 18 18:01:07 it is very acceptable at home for two women to kiss and hold hands. I have always done so in my past relationships Nov 18 18:05:57 Its not even common for married men and women to do that here Nov 18 18:06:56 that is sad Nov 18 18:07:57 * Morgan nods Nov 18 18:08:00 I agree Nov 18 18:09:25 *Claudia comes in, smiling * bathrooms free, I’ve started the bath running Nov 18 18:11:26 * Morgan smiles, drinking his coffee Nov 18 18:11:54 how will I know how to switch it off? Nov 18 18:12:47 Hink you'll have to show her Nov 18 18:13:10 C: Yeah... Nov 18 18:13:36 * Morgan nods Nov 18 18:13:43 * Uinise smiles “and how will I know how to scoop the water out?” Nov 18 18:14:00 C: $I’m being played, right?$ Nov 18 18:14:13 $do you know, I'm not sure$ Nov 18 18:15:50 C: I can show you how to work both now Nov 18 18:16:03 * Uinise looks a little crestfallen Nov 18 18:16:46 C: $yep. being played$ Nov 18 18:16:52 $Don't be mean$ Nov 18 18:18:28 C: *she smiles* I think I’ll need to keep an eye on her... baths can be dangerous for the inexperienced Nov 18 18:18:37 * Morgan nods Nov 18 18:18:40 True Nov 18 18:19:53 I do take baths! Nov 18 18:20:51 Still a bit of work to do on understanding the way we think though... Nov 18 18:21:44 * Uinise nods Nov 18 18:22:09 C: *she holds out her hand* come on, before it floods Nov 18 18:23:52 * Morgan watches them Nov 18 18:26:01 * Uinise takes her hand, smiling at Claudia. He sees Claudia squeeze gently, watching her back. There’s a lot of fondness there Nov 18 18:26:25 * Morgan sips his coffee Nov 18 18:26:47 I'm going to pop out... lock the door til you're done Nov 18 18:28:38 *Claudia blushes at this* Nov 18 18:28:45 Okay, I’ll lock the door Nov 18 18:29:11 * Morgan nods, finishing his drink and getting up, pulling his coat on Nov 18 18:29:19 See you in a while Nov 18 18:31:24 * Uinise follows him to the door, smiling. She whispers “She held my hand, did you see? Nov 18 18:31:46 * Morgan nods, smiling Nov 18 18:33:21 * Morgan says 'have fun' before heading out the door, heading for the graves Nov 18 18:34:48 *it’s dried up a little, and he gets brief bows from the grooms as he passes on the way* Nov 18 18:35:06 * Morgan nods to them, not slowing Nov 18 18:36:42 *The graveyard is peaceful, the two familiar graves wait in the corner Nov 18 18:37:28 * Morgan goes to them, dropping to his knees as he reaches them Nov 18 18:38:40 What would you make of all this, hmm? Would you look at me like my father does now? Nov 18 18:43:10 *the lily of the valley is growing well, it smells so much like her perfume* Nov 18 18:44:21 I wish I had your... your calm, your peace. Nov 18 18:46:03 *A white butterfly comes to land on the flowers* Nov 18 18:47:21 * Morgan leans back, closing his eyes, trying to find some calm Nov 18 18:48:36 *he manages it, and he doesn’t feel entirely alone* Nov 18 18:50:35 I miss my little girl Nov 18 18:51:17 *it’s impossible to say how, but it feels like his words are heard* Nov 18 18:52:54 Its not fair. Too much is being asked of me Nov 18 18:55:07 *the sense of not being alone continues* Nov 18 18:55:57 * Morgan hangs his head Nov 18 18:57:36 How many more must I lose before its apparent Im not -strong enough- Nov 18 19:02:15 *he feels a sensation like a hand on his shoulder, supportive but firm, like that of older, stronger warriors from his first platoon* Nov 18 19:05:25 * Morgan sighs heavily, hanging his head Nov 18 19:07:28 *that presence and pressure continues. the name “broken warrior” pops into his mind* Nov 18 19:08:01 Not much bloody use, being broken Nov 18 19:08:40 *nothing more comes to him, and the feeling starts to wane* Nov 18 19:09:15 * Morgan sighs, opening his eyes Nov 18 19:09:56 *the butterfly is still there * Nov 18 19:10:47 * Morgan shuffles forward, putting the small cross he made in place Nov 18 19:12:10 *to get it to stay on, he’d need to melt the back. otherwise, he could hope it will just stay on one of the flat bits Nov 18 19:12:28 * Morgan concentrates, making it so it'll stay in place Nov 18 19:12:53 *it does so just as he wants it* Nov 18 19:13:52 I'm not normally like this. I'm normally stronger, more... settled. But I'm hurting right now Nov 18 19:15:08 *the presence is till there, just lighter* Nov 18 19:16:41 * Morgan puts a hand on each headstone, saying a prayer before saying 'I love you both' and getting up Nov 18 19:17:36 *the presence disappears* Nov 18 19:17:57 * Morgan 's shoulders slump as he turns to look at the house Nov 18 19:21:01 *The Big House is the same as it always was, high above the graves of so many Koertig ancestors, the only one he has any memory of being his grandfather Penn Nov 18 19:22:47 * Morgan makes his way through the grounds back to the lake, sitting right on the shoreline, turning a stone over in his hand as he thinks Nov 18 19:27:09 *Out in the lake, he sees movement beneath the surface* Nov 18 19:27:22 * Morgan stares at it Nov 18 19:28:24 *the movement stops before appearing further out at speed Nov 18 19:29:32 * Morgan moves to being on one knee, watching the movement closely Nov 18 19:31:04 *it moves again. whatever it is is fast* Nov 18 19:32:39 * Morgan stays still Nov 18 19:33:13 *it continues to move about out there* Nov 18 19:33:34 Yeah, you're fast. Nov 18 19:35:40 *it moves towards the shore, though still far enough out to be impossible to properly see* Nov 18 19:35:55 I'm not scared of you Nov 18 19:37:00 *whatever it is seems to move in a circle before disappearing below Nov 18 19:37:42 * Morgan nods slightly, standing up and starting to walk back to the house Nov 18 19:39:23 *he’s not interrupted* Nov 18 19:40:13 * Morgan finds his way to his old room, collecting up his rank markers and sketch books, carrying them back to his suite in the Veisgraf wing Nov 18 19:42:18 *these are the sketch books that contain pictures of Jana, and also the ones of Dietlinde in the doorway the day they met, by the window in labour, and their wedding day. There’s a loose sheet tucked in the back Nov 18 19:42:50 * Morgan slows enough to look at it Nov 18 19:44:08 *Though the full sketch had been destroyed in the fire, the preliminary sketches for the time she’d posed nude for him are still easy to see on these scraps* Nov 18 19:44:38 * Morgan tucks them back inside, carrying on to his rooms Nov 18 19:45:03 *The door is unlocked when he gets there* Nov 18 19:45:13 * Morgan enters Nov 18 19:46:03 * he can hear laughing and smell coffee Nov 18 19:46:24 * Morgan takes his things into his room, packing them before checking the mirror Nov 18 19:46:55 *There’s no further message, she must have taken the boys out* Nov 18 19:48:03 * Morgan packs it away, moving through to the parlour Nov 18 19:48:45 *Claudia and Uinise are playing cards. Uinise’s hair is wet but combed through Nov 18 19:49:08 * Morgan sits down Nov 18 19:50:21 C: $sorry, we pushed you out$ Nov 18 19:50:38 $its fine. I needed to go visit Dietlinde and Jana anyway$ Nov 18 19:50:49 $you okay?$ Nov 18 19:51:01 $Been better$ Nov 18 19:51:36 *A maid comes in* Your Excellency, the *rafin wishes you to go to her morning room immediately Nov 18 19:52:10 * Morgan nods, standing up Nov 18 19:52:14 Thank you Nov 18 19:53:24 * Morgan excuses himself, making sure he's smart and presentable as he makes his way to his mothers morning room, knocking once he arrives Nov 18 19:53:35 * Uinise is now known as Verity Nov 18 19:53:39 Come in Nov 18 19:53:49 * Morgan enters the room, closing the door behind him Nov 18 19:54:07 * Verity is stood, and looks serious. She’s all alone Nov 18 19:54:15 You sent for me Nov 18 19:54:18 Thank you for coming so quickly. Nov 18 19:54:43 * Morgan nods Nov 18 19:55:04 This has nothing to do with your Father Nov 18 19:55:23 * Morgan looks confused Nov 18 19:55:58 I’m afraid it is something of an indelicate nature Nov 18 19:56:20 What do you need of me mother? Nov 18 19:58:24 One of the maids came to take your breakfast plate about an hour ago and found your suite locked. She heard what sounded like... an act of Congress. *she looks very serious, pained* I find it impossible to believe, but I need to ask... Are you being intimate with Uinise? Nov 18 19:58:53 * Morgan looks hurt Nov 18 19:59:02 mother... I thought you thought better of me Nov 18 19:59:11 I do! Nov 18 19:59:28 Doesn't much sound like it Nov 18 20:00:06 It must be that the maid is mistaken. Nov 18 20:00:41 In Uinise's culture it is quite normal to... deal with matters themselves... Nov 18 20:01:32 * Verity blushes bright red Nov 18 20:01:52 Ah. I think we need to speak no further of it then. Nov 18 20:02:05 * Morgan nods Nov 18 20:02:15 If you could ensure the maids also speak no further of it... Nov 18 20:02:32 They will not, don’t worry Nov 18 20:03:13 Staff gossip mother. Sunrise, death, taxes and staff gossiping... the four inescapable truths of life. Nov 18 20:03:33 * Verity comes to embrace him Nov 18 20:03:42 And a mother’s love for her son. Nov 18 20:03:53 * Morgan nods, hugging her Nov 18 20:04:01 I was visiting Dietlinde and Jana Nov 18 20:04:10 I’ll make that known Nov 18 20:04:32 * Morgan nods Nov 18 20:04:51 Could you have someone bring my zweihander from the vault? Nov 18 20:08:13 I will need to get the key from your father Nov 18 20:09:00 * Morgan nods Nov 18 20:09:07 I wish to take it home with me Nov 18 20:09:39 * Verity nods Nov 18 20:09:46 I will see to it Nov 18 20:09:51 * Morgan nods Nov 18 20:09:59 Thank you. I'll return to the Veisgraf wing Nov 18 20:10:24 * Verity sighs Nov 18 20:10:44 He’s very angry right now Nov 18 20:10:48 * Morgan nods Nov 18 20:11:07 Thats why I'm giving him space in his house. Nov 18 20:11:32 will you come to dinner? Nov 18 20:12:05 I don't see that I am welcome mother. Nov 18 20:12:41 if I can get him to agree, of course Nov 18 20:13:19 * Morgan nods Nov 18 20:13:27 As you wish mother Nov 18 20:14:39 * Verity nods Nov 18 20:14:52 I’ll send word with the zweihander Nov 18 20:15:00 * Morgan nods Nov 18 20:15:02 Thank you mother Nov 18 20:15:16 * Verity nods Nov 18 20:16:20 * Morgan looks at her sadly before quietly leaving the room, making for the Veisgraf wing again Nov 18 20:16:36 *the others are just as they were* Nov 18 20:17:04 * Morgan goes into his bedroom, closing the door and sitting on the bed Nov 18 20:17:53 *they give him privacy* Nov 18 20:18:31 * Morgan stays in there for half an hour, staring up at the ceiling before finally coming back into the parlour Nov 18 20:19:06 * Verity is now known as Claudia Nov 18 20:19:15 Poker? Nov 18 20:19:32 sure Nov 18 20:19:55 * Claudia deals him in Nov 18 20:20:02 all good? Nov 18 20:20:12 You two need to be quieter. Nov 18 20:20:53 Sorry Nov 18 20:21:23 I'm not fussed about being woken up... but my mother has just asked me if Im being intimate with Uinise. Nov 18 20:22:43 fuck Nov 18 20:23:02 U: That’s ridiculous, I do not like men! Nov 18 20:23:22 I am aware. They are not. Nov 18 20:24:43 I’m really sorry, I figure the bathroom door and the main door would be more than enough Nov 18 20:24:50 figured* Nov 18 20:25:08 * Morgan nods Nov 18 20:25:13 A little more care if you would Nov 18 20:25:21 Absolutely Nov 18 20:25:33 U: I am sorry. I will be quiet Nov 18 20:25:36 * Morgan nods, folding Nov 18 20:27:00 * Claudia deals the next few hands. The servant brings the zweihander not long after Morgan has taken the deal. Nov 18 20:27:49 * Morgan gets up, taking the massive sword Nov 18 20:28:55 Is there any message? Nov 18 20:29:19 Servant: The Graf says your are all expected at dinner at seven as usual Nov 18 20:29:41 * Morgan nods, thanking the servant Nov 18 20:30:29 * Claudia watches Morgan Nov 18 20:30:36 *the servant goes* Nov 18 20:30:42 what do you make of that? Nov 18 20:30:52 Its mothers doing Nov 18 20:31:28 U: Your Mother is in charge in the relationship? Nov 18 20:32:13 Its complicated... my father will do almost anything for her if not doing it would upset her... this is a bit of a reach though Nov 18 20:33:45 At least you know he’ll see you before we go Nov 18 20:34:06 * Morgan nods, looking unconvinced Nov 18 20:35:30 * Claudia shrugs Nov 18 20:35:46 you playing, or taking that outside? Nov 18 20:35:56 I'm taking this outside Nov 18 20:37:04 * Claudia nods Nov 18 20:37:26 U: I have seen them in books Nov 18 20:38:27 What? A zweihander? Nov 18 20:38:45 *Uinise nods* Nov 18 20:39:28 Molly gave me her book about Eisen Military History Nov 18 20:39:42 * Morgan nods Nov 18 20:40:01 I know the one. Don't think it really conveys quite how dangerous they can be thouogh Nov 18 20:40:18 U: can you show me? Nov 18 20:40:34 If you like Nov 18 20:41:01 *Uinise nods. they all gather up coats* Nov 18 20:41:54 * Morgan leads the way out of the building and into the grounds, somewhere with a lot of space Nov 18 20:42:59 *The big courtyard around the back where they had had their polterabend is the best one* Nov 18 20:43:28 * Morgan looks at Claudia Nov 18 20:43:43 Want to take me on, or am I just going through the motions? Nov 18 20:44:17 show off a bit first Nov 18 20:44:58 * Morgan nods, unsheathing the sword and moving away, moving around in the various drills, slowly Nov 18 20:47:16 *Uinise and Claudia watch this from a safe distance. By the time he’s done, Grendlik and Jarvie are there with the baby too* Nov 18 20:49:38 * Morgan goes back over to them Nov 18 20:50:19 G: That’s an impressive weapon, my Lord Nov 18 20:51:34 Its entirely impractical except in certain situations Nov 18 20:53:04 J: I have my Father’s in the dower house in Innesbruck Nov 18 20:53:46 Its daft... but I love this thing. Its one of the few things I have that is simply for showing off Nov 18 20:54:22 U: I think it’s very impressive Nov 18 20:54:47 I think... thats the point of it... Nov 18 20:56:01 shall we do it? Nov 18 20:56:09 If you're ready Nov 18 20:57:46 * Claudia nods, saluting him Nov 18 20:58:20 * Morgan does likewise with the huge sword before taking up a stance Nov 18 20:58:50 * Claudia unleashes the dancy style on him Nov 18 20:59:43 * Morgan pauses a moment, defending against her for a couple of minutes before it becomes apparent that where he is very dangerous with a sword, he is exceptionally dangerous with a zweihander Nov 18 21:00:11 * Claudia steps back, calling a halt Nov 18 21:00:20 * Morgan immediately stops Nov 18 21:00:38 I’d like my torso and legs to stay joined, thanks Nov 18 21:00:50 They are Nov 18 21:01:06 $You want to show off your sexy sword work?$ Nov 18 21:01:16 $yep$ Nov 18 21:01:56 * Morgan puts up a finger a moment, going to put the zweihander away, coming back and drawing his falchion Nov 18 21:02:29 * Claudia salutes before showing off shamelessly Nov 18 21:02:58 * Morgan goes along with it, working with her to best show off her style Nov 18 21:04:00 *By the time they are done, Uinise looks extremely impressed, and Jarvie and Grendlik are surprised by it too* Nov 18 21:04:43 * Morgan puts up his sword, moving back to pick up his zweihander Nov 18 21:06:50 * Claudia goes back to stand with the others Nov 18 21:08:40 * Morgan spends a couple of minutes swinging the sword in such a manner only an idiot would stand against it before sheathing it and coming back to the others Nov 18 21:10:23 *the others congratulate him. From the woodland is a loud boom* Nov 18 21:10:36 shit! Nov 18 21:11:03 * Morgan closes his eyes a moment, dropping the zweihander and setting off at a run toward the sound Nov 18 21:11:41 *Claudia and Grendlik follow* Nov 18 21:12:24 * Morgan runs hard toward the sound Nov 18 21:13:18 *Yensid is stood with the blunderbus pointed into the trees* Nov 18 21:13:38 What the hell Yensid?! Nov 18 21:13:52 Y: Saw a stag Nov 18 21:14:19 My father is with you? Nov 18 21:16:28 Y: No, no idea where he is Nov 18 21:18:13 I think maybe he could use his friend right now Nov 18 21:19:15 *Yensid glances around* You have to let him burn himself out first, don’t you know? Nov 18 21:20:03 I know. God know I've wound him up to bursting so he's a bit calmer when he gets the bad news enough times but... what colour was the stag? Nov 18 21:20:45 V: light brown Nov 18 21:20:52 Not... red? Nov 18 21:21:01 Y: nope Nov 18 21:21:07 Did you get it? Nov 18 21:21:31 Y: would I be stood talking if I had? Nov 18 21:21:40 * Morgan shrugs Nov 18 21:21:46 You're weird, I wouldn't know Nov 18 21:22:30 * Morgan looks at Grendlik and Claudia Nov 18 21:22:42 Go on back, I don't want the others worrying Nov 18 21:23:02 $might be a good time to destroy it?$ Nov 18 21:23:15 $How?$ Nov 18 21:23:32 $I don’t know$ Nov 18 21:23:44 I need to talk to Yensid about something Nov 18 21:23:51 *grendlik and Claudia go* Nov 18 21:24:46 Can I trust you, Yensid? Nov 18 21:25:13 * Claudia is now known as Yensid Nov 18 21:25:51 I tied a woman to a bed for you, so probably. Nov 18 21:26:19 Thats not exactly what I wanted to hear... are you this ornery with my father? Nov 18 21:26:33 * Yensid shrugs Nov 18 21:26:37 generally worse Nov 18 21:28:07 * Morgan sighs Nov 18 21:28:12 You're a strange man Nov 18 21:28:20 * Yensid nods Nov 18 21:29:01 what do you need doing? More tying up, is it? thought I taught your wife pretty well Nov 18 21:29:14 * Morgan looks away Nov 18 21:29:48 I discovered some... intimate drawings in my new house... I'm told they are saleable... Nov 18 21:29:58 * Yensid laughs Nov 18 21:30:08 discovered them, did ya? Nov 18 21:30:58 Yes. They are... quite detailed. It was suggested you might know of someone who could sell them on Nov 18 21:31:06 * Yensid nods Nov 18 21:31:09 easily Nov 18 21:31:42 * Morgan nods Nov 18 21:31:54 I have them in the house... I can leave them with you to deal with? Nov 18 21:32:02 * Yensid nods Nov 18 21:32:15 Got an idea how much you want for them? Nov 18 21:32:40 No, I've no idea. I would't know what they're worth either. Nov 18 21:33:30 I’ll get you a good price. fifty-fifty. Nov 18 21:34:04 Don't be absurd Nov 18 21:34:36 You want to do it yourself? What’s a hundred percent of nothing? Nov 18 21:35:18 Forty Nov 18 21:35:35 pretty sure I said fifty. Nov 18 21:35:45 * Morgan looks at him Nov 18 21:36:03 Forty each, the last twenty goes to the orphanage Holzheim supports Nov 18 21:36:15 * Yensid nods Nov 18 21:36:17 done Nov 18 21:36:28 * Morgan nods Nov 18 21:36:32 Reckon I have been Nov 18 21:36:39 Lets have a look at that cannon Nov 18 21:36:40 * Yensid grins Nov 18 21:37:15 be a sad day if anyone didn’t feel they’d been had after negotiating with me Nov 18 21:37:23 * Yensid hands it over Nov 18 21:39:26 * Morgan nods, holding it at the butt and barrel, concentrating on where the hammer meets the plate beneath it and the screw, trying to fuse them Nov 18 21:39:45 I don't think you're as bad as I thought Nov 18 21:40:12 *it feels like it works* Nov 18 21:40:25 You’re probably wrong Nov 18 21:40:50 No... or you'd not have agreed to less once the orphanage gets some... could probably hole a ship with this thing Nov 18 21:41:45 could be I just wanted to screw you out of the ten percent Nov 18 21:42:06 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 18 21:42:12 I don't think so Nov 18 21:43:40 * Yensid grins “you need more rope? I got some green now” Nov 18 21:44:02 * Morgan glances at him Nov 18 21:44:04 How long? Nov 18 21:44:30 thirty feet Nov 18 21:44:39 * Morgan sighs Nov 18 21:44:41 How much? Nov 18 21:45:24 * Yensid grins “For the joy of making ya admit you want it, five guilders” Nov 18 21:50:32 * Morgan sighs, nodding Nov 18 21:50:34 Alright Nov 18 21:51:33 * Yensid nods, grinning “I’ll get it to you in the hour, but I gotta wonder which of you it is likes to do the tying” Nov 18 21:52:40 Feel free to continue wondering Nov 18 21:53:16 * Yensid gives a decidedly sleazy grin “I will, don’t you worry” Nov 18 21:53:49 * Morgan rolls his eyes Nov 18 21:54:06 Why is it you enjoy making people so uncomfortabel? Nov 18 21:55:01 you’d be amazed what secrets people will spill to avoid feeling more uncomfortable Nov 18 21:55:44 * Morgan nods Nov 18 21:55:52 Its why I stare at people Nov 18 21:56:13 * Yensid nods Nov 18 21:56:27 works Nov 18 21:56:43 * Morgan nods Nov 18 21:56:50 People will fill a silence, too Nov 18 21:57:02 * Yensid nods Nov 18 21:59:55 You ever miss sailing? Nov 18 22:00:21 not really Nov 18 22:00:39 * Morgan nods Nov 18 22:00:56 You heading back to the house? Nov 18 22:01:29 Eager for it, are you? Nov 18 22:01:39 Just curious... Nov 18 22:01:47 * Yensid nods Nov 18 22:01:49 * Morgan takes hold of the grip, testing the hammer Nov 18 22:02:04 *it does whatever he intended* Nov 18 22:02:07 What the hell did you use to fire this thing? The hammer won't move Nov 18 22:02:25 what? give it here Nov 18 22:02:31 * Morgan hands it over Nov 18 22:03:29 *he tries it* shit biscuits. Nov 18 22:04:59 Saw that happen to a rifle once... Nov 18 22:05:17 * Yensid looks genuinely disappointed Nov 18 22:05:20 yeah? Nov 18 22:05:44 * Morgan nods Nov 18 22:06:22 Yeah, wrong mix of gunpowder Nov 18 22:06:41 * Yensid sighs “Damn” Nov 18 22:06:54 Fixable Nov 18 22:07:11 I’ll take it to a gunsmith Nov 18 22:07:27 * Morgan nods Nov 18 22:08:54 Got lucky... could've blown your hand off Nov 18 22:09:06 * Yensid nods Nov 18 22:09:09 damn right Nov 18 22:09:44 May as well get you sorted before lunch. You need some tips for tying up? Nov 18 22:10:10 Much as I hate to admit it... Nov 18 22:10:20 admit what? Nov 18 22:10:35 That I need some tips for tying up Nov 18 22:10:43 * Yensid grins Nov 18 22:11:23 Come with me, I’ll show ya how to do it so she’s secure but safe and comfortable Nov 18 22:11:36 You'll keep it between us? Nov 18 22:12:13 Yep. Rigger’s honour. Nov 18 22:12:27 * Morgan nods Nov 18 22:12:46 Alright. I'll need to let Claudia know to take my sword back to my room Nov 18 22:13:05 * Yensid nods Nov 18 22:15:56 * Morgan nods Nov 18 22:15:59 Come on then Nov 18 22:16:26 * Yensid goes with him. The others are waiting in the courtyard Nov 18 22:17:33 All good... I'm going to go and talk to Yensid about a few things... Claudia, can you take my zweihander back to the suite? Nov 18 22:19:08 *Claudia takes it, and they go back. Yensid heads into the building, taking a route through it that Morgan had no idea even existed despite his childhood exploration Nov 18 22:19:36 * Morgan scowls Nov 18 22:21:30 * Yensid leads him to a guest room and lets him in. Where one would expect it to be dirty and messy, the possessions Yensid has seem to be laid out neatly with a military sort or presicision Nov 18 22:24:04 * Morgan glances round out of habit Nov 18 22:26:49 *There’s nothing shocking. He pulls a bag out from under the bed, taking out a green silky rope that looks to be about the right length. he puts it on the bed Nov 18 22:27:36 Right then. I’m gonna assume you’ve dabbled a bit, and know a good range of nautical knots Nov 18 22:28:43 I was a -very- good sailor... Nov 18 22:28:48 * Yensid nods Nov 18 22:29:14 what do you reckon the single most important thing you need is to tie a woman up is? Nov 18 22:29:48 We talking... physically or... Nov 18 22:30:00 absolutely anything Nov 18 22:30:09 Trust Nov 18 22:31:01 Not far off, yeah. You need her -consent-. Not drunk, not “maybe”, not “if you like”, but enthusiastically wanting it Nov 18 22:31:11 * Morgan nods Nov 18 22:31:13 Alright Nov 18 22:34:52 Then vigilance. Never, ever leave someone tied up alone. If you like to play with that, blindfold her and make it sound like you’re gone, but never do it Nov 18 22:35:08 okay Nov 18 22:35:47 Then trust, like ya said. Decide well in advance what you can do to her and what you can’t Nov 18 22:38:06 Right... Nov 18 22:39:01 You need a good sharp knife, one sided only Nov 18 22:39:15 To get her out in a hurry if needed? Nov 18 22:39:19 * Yensid nods Nov 18 22:40:48 Always be prepared. Could be interrupted, could knock a candle over, she could just urgently need to pee. Sure, your rope is shorter, but it’s just rope Nov 18 22:41:06 Rope can be replaced Nov 18 22:41:15 * Yensid nods Nov 18 22:41:20 Trust can’t Nov 18 22:41:32 * Morgan nods, looking a little sad Nov 18 22:41:36 Yeah, okay Nov 18 22:42:04 I’ll get ya a release hook, but I don’t keep one myself Nov 18 22:42:58 A what? Nov 18 22:44:26 It’s like a blunt-tipped metal hook, but the inside curve is a blade. it hangs onto the bed head. in an emergency, she can get the rope over the hook, pull down, and cut the rope herself Nov 18 22:44:49 * Morgan nods Nov 18 22:44:59 Alright. Nov 18 22:46:27 you’ve got to keep your mind to her safety, especially if her hands are tied and she’s moving around. Face to floor accidents can happen Nov 18 22:48:39 Right... that makes sense Nov 18 22:50:29 Biggest issue aside from that is nerves. Not yours, hers Nov 18 22:50:47 How so? Nov 18 22:52:34 it’s really easy to pinch nerves to bones in certain places. You don’t want her getting injured, so do a good safe job. I’ll show you where and how, yeah? Nov 18 22:52:55 * Morgan nods Nov 18 22:52:56 okay Nov 18 22:56:33 * Yensid takes him through body parts like wrists, ankles, knees, explaining where to tie and where not to, how to lay the ropes and knot, how to check for tingling, numbness, external signs. he uses some of the rope to demonstrate on his own body* Nov 18 22:56:59 * Morgan watches it all closely, taking note of everything Nov 18 22:59:28 * Yensid moves on to showing him how to anchor simple ties of the bed, and this gives Morgan a really solid but safe method to tie all four limbs down Nov 18 23:00:17 If you want her simply immobilised, that’ll do Nov 18 23:00:34 * Morgan nods Nov 18 23:00:36 right Nov 18 23:03:54 Other one that’s really useful is a double limb tie. Trust me? Nov 18 23:04:30 Thats.... yes. Nov 18 23:04:46 * Yensid pulls a smaller rope from the bag Nov 18 23:04:58 stick your arms out in front Nov 18 23:05:07 * Morgan does so slowly Nov 18 23:06:52 * Yensid lays the middle of the rope over his arms after bringing them about six inches apart. He talks Morgan through wrapping the ends around both wrists like winding wool, it’s loose and makes no sense Nov 18 23:07:25 * Morgan frowns Nov 18 23:07:29 I don't see how this works Nov 18 23:07:36 * Yensid smiles Nov 18 23:07:38 you will Nov 18 23:08:27 * Yensid turns the ropes ninety degrees to cinch the first loops, working out to his wrists and then back before tying Nov 18 23:10:05 *it’s firm but not pressing anywhere, really even and tidy. With his magic, he’s perfectly safe, but it’s definitely a level of restraint he’s rarely experienced Nov 18 23:13:57 * Morgan tests it Nov 18 23:14:24 *it’s very secure, and doesn’t get any tighter or looser Nov 18 23:14:34 * Yensid is busy watching Morgan Nov 18 23:14:37 Huh... okay Nov 18 23:15:39 you can do that any point you have two limbs. wrist to wrist, ankle to ankle, wrists to thighs... Nov 18 23:16:42 * Yensid undoes it Nov 18 23:20:03 Thats... effective Nov 18 23:20:50 yeah. once you can single and double limb tie you can fasten them up most any place, as long as you’ve got some imagination Nov 18 23:21:13 * Morgan nods Nov 18 23:22:03 wrists two feet apart please Nov 18 23:22:42 * Morgan moves them that distance apart Nov 18 23:23:15 * Yensid grabs the longer rope. he does just the same, the perpendicular cinching running out and back. this creates a bar of rope that prevents him closing his wrists Nov 18 23:23:43 * Morgan looks impressed Nov 18 23:23:55 * Yensid grins Nov 18 23:24:46 useful for binding elbows behind the back, but great at the ankles or knees if you like keeping her spread Nov 18 23:24:59 * Morgan nods, blushing Nov 18 23:25:00 I see Nov 18 23:25:08 * Yensid undoes it Nov 18 23:27:06 That’s the basics. There’s lots of fancy shit you can do, but it depends on what ya like. if it’s intricate and you get the enjoyment out of the tying and the look of it, I can show you more li’e that sometime. If the main aim is getting her in your control and submissive, you should be good to go Nov 18 23:27:25 * Morgan nods Nov 18 23:27:35 The intricate stuff, I am interested in... next time? Nov 18 23:27:43 * Yensid nods Nov 18 23:28:11 Go make some notes on this, next time I see you we can do that Nov 18 23:28:42 * Morgan nods Nov 18 23:28:46 Thank you, Yensid Nov 18 23:28:57 * Yensid rolls up the rope, handing it over Nov 18 23:29:26 I'll pass you the money with the drawings later? Nov 18 23:29:49 yeah that’s good for me Nov 18 23:30:23 * Morgan nods, inclining his head Nov 18 23:30:38 * Yensid lets him out Nov 18 23:30:58 * Morgan heads back to the Veisgraf wing Nov 18 23:43:35 * Yensid is now known as Claudia Nov 18 23:44:38 * Claudia , Uinise, Grendlik, Jarvie, and the baby are all in his parlour looking at maps Nov 18 23:50:32 hey Nov 18 23:50:50 *everyone greets him Nov 18 23:51:15 $since when are you so friendly with him, you’ve been gone ages$ Nov 18 23:53:03 $He's my fathers friend$ Nov 18 23:53:24 $you used to call him a weasel$ Nov 18 23:53:50 $He was damn helpful tracking down Dau$ Nov 18 23:54:31 $true$ Nov 18 23:54:55 * Morgan nods slightly, going through to his room and stuffing the rope in his bag Nov 18 23:59:04 *there is footsteps coming to his door Nov 18 23:59:19 * Morgan closes the bag, heading back to the door Nov 18 23:59:42 * Claudia is now known as Jarvie Nov 18 23:59:57 * Jarvie has the baby
