**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Nov 20 00:19:13 2023 Nov 20 00:19:13 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 20 08:01:49 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Nov 20 08:06:16 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Nov 20 08:06:51 Its been a stressful evening Nov 20 08:06:51 * Molly nods Nov 20 08:06:51 He has been difficult? Nov 20 08:06:51 * Morgan nods Nov 20 08:06:51 It got to the point at dinner that Uinise stood up, thanked them for the food but didn't want to eat at their table with his loaded words and walked out Nov 20 08:06:55 * Molly grimaces Nov 20 08:06:57 Oh dear! Nov 20 08:08:14 Claudia followed her out, obviously... I told my father he was behaving shamefully, being rude to everyone when its me he's angry with... then we went to his office and he shouted at me for a bit Nov 20 08:08:52 * Molly smiles “Which is far from new, is it?” Nov 20 08:09:03 * Morgan nods Nov 20 08:09:04 Indeed Nov 20 08:09:30 has he gotten it out of his system now? Nov 20 08:09:36 * Morgan shrugs Nov 20 08:09:40 Some. Nov 20 08:11:17 * Molly nods Nov 20 08:11:33 Are you still coming tomorrow ? Nov 20 08:11:46 * Morgan nods Nov 20 08:12:06 Much as I'd like to try to mend things a little more here... we'll be leaving early Nov 20 08:12:55 it won’t be long until he’s here. I’ve asked Reverend Loewe to come on Wednesday Nov 20 08:13:35 * Morgan nods Nov 20 08:13:49 alright. I need to get a message to Teresa, Maubourg daughter Nov 20 08:15:13 I’ll get some paper, shall I? Nov 20 08:15:25 * Morgan nods Nov 20 08:15:37 Its just that Maubourg still loves her. Nothing else. Nov 20 08:17:29 * Molly reaches over to get some, giving him the view of the curve of her covered bottom Nov 20 08:17:41 shall I sign it from myself? Nov 20 08:18:01 Not sure. I told Maubourg I would tell her discreetly Nov 20 08:18:54 * Molly sits back up Nov 20 08:19:24 perhaps it would be best for you to write it and give it to Reverend Loewe on Wednesday to take home? Nov 20 08:23:19 * Morgan nods Nov 20 08:23:27 Aye, I think you might be right Nov 20 08:23:56 * Molly nods Nov 20 08:25:31 Tomorrow I will be spending time with Frau Arendt looking at the guest list and where we will put everyone. Faulk intends to arrive the day before, as do the nearby Grafs Nov 20 08:25:44 * Morgan nods Nov 20 08:26:07 I'm starting to get a little... apprehensive... Nov 20 08:27:26 Yes. It will be a very full house, and a lot of social juggling, though I have sent to the innkeepers in Kempten to see if there is space for any of our guests who prefer something less formal Nov 20 08:27:52 * Morgan nods, smiling Nov 20 08:28:04 Fantastic idea... I wonder if our dear Maubourg would host anyone... Nov 20 08:28:31 Oh! that is an excellent idea. I’ll write and ask him in the morning Nov 20 08:29:36 * Morgan nods Nov 20 08:29:52 I think that might go some ways to strengthening our ties with him Nov 20 08:30:00 * Molly nods Nov 20 08:30:22 I think you’re right. And hopefully his little issue will be resolved by then Nov 20 08:30:44 * Morgan nods Nov 20 08:31:36 It was very difficult to stay straight faced Nov 20 08:33:26 * Morgan nods Nov 20 08:33:42 I've got to say I wouldn't want to play poker against him Nov 20 08:36:43 * Molly laughs Nov 20 08:37:01 I agree. I always wondered how he got so powerful, but I see it now Nov 20 08:37:19 * Morgan nods Nov 20 08:39:05 He said my father was always his rival for prestige and power, but he obviously cares for his people... Nov 20 08:40:02 * Molly nods Nov 20 08:40:23 I suppose so. Not in the personal way you do, but in an abstract way Nov 20 08:41:00 * Morgan nods Nov 20 08:41:01 aye Nov 20 08:43:12 I am not sure my mind won’t be on organising the baptisms the whole time I am away! Nov 20 08:44:00 No, I imagine it will be forefront Nov 20 08:46:42 * Molly nods Nov 20 08:46:58 did Jacques give you any mirrors so we can still talk? Nov 20 08:47:32 * Morgan nods Nov 20 08:47:38 Aye, he did Nov 20 08:48:26 * Molly smiles Nov 20 08:48:40 good, it’s far too long to be without you otherwise Nov 20 08:49:53 * Morgan nods Nov 20 08:50:36 Its going to be a tough few days Nov 20 08:50:49 * Molly nods Nov 20 08:51:12 it will hopefully be more relaxed for you than these though Nov 20 08:51:23 * Morgan nods Nov 20 08:51:25 We can hope Nov 20 08:53:21 * Molly nods Nov 20 08:53:42 I will be able to keep up with the preparations through you Nov 20 08:54:11 I don't imagine there's -that- much left to prepare Nov 20 08:56:04 the order of the service, the hymns, the food, stabling for all the horses, the extra laundry... there’s more than enough to keep busy with, I’m afraid Nov 20 08:57:10 * Morgan nods, sighing Nov 20 08:58:49 I have wondered if I should not go, but Mina needs me Nov 20 08:59:32 Indeed she does Nov 20 09:01:14 * Molly nods Nov 20 09:01:27 And Heinzharold would not let Inga go without me Nov 20 09:01:48 No, he wouldnt Nov 20 09:03:52 * Molly nods Nov 20 09:04:05 it is what it is. we are just very busy Nov 20 09:05:18 * Morgan nods Nov 20 09:05:22 It'll calm down eventually Nov 20 09:06:54 * Molly smiles Nov 20 09:07:12 I feel like we have been saying that all the time we have been together Nov 20 09:07:59 * Morgan nods Nov 20 09:08:11 But... we are coming to an end of all the running around Nov 20 09:09:06 * Molly nods Nov 20 09:09:45 soon it will be summer, and we can walk around the estate, write a few letters here and there, and just spend our time together? Nov 20 09:10:12 That is my hope, yes Nov 20 09:10:42 * Molly nods Nov 20 09:10:56 I look forward to that, my love Nov 20 09:11:34 * Morgan nods Nov 20 09:11:36 Me too Nov 20 09:12:52 The boys are so looking forward to your return Nov 20 09:13:30 A shame it'll be so late tomorrow Nov 20 09:13:37 * Molly nods Nov 20 09:13:43 they will long be in bed Nov 20 09:14:13 Rightly so Nov 20 09:14:19 * Molly nods Nov 20 09:14:33 depending on how late it is, so might I! Nov 20 09:15:16 * Morgan nods Nov 20 09:15:49 We'll make it as early as we can Nov 20 09:16:18 * Molly smiles “I’d rather you stay safe. Is it raining there yet?” Nov 20 09:16:52 Not so far, no Nov 20 09:17:25 it is heavy here, Heinzharold will be most put out if it continues Nov 20 09:18:50 * Morgan nods Nov 20 09:19:03 He can have it built quickly or well Nov 20 09:20:22 * Molly nods Nov 20 09:20:27 indeed Nov 20 09:22:15 * Morgan sighs Nov 20 09:22:23 I suppose I should try to sleep Nov 20 09:22:33 * Molly nods sadly Nov 20 09:22:41 Yes, I think that’s sensible Nov 20 09:24:32 * Morgan nods, glancing at the window briefly Nov 20 09:24:42 The next time we speak, it will be face to face Nov 20 09:24:56 *the first few spots of rain hit it* Nov 20 09:25:05 I desperately await that Nov 20 09:26:00 * Morgan nods Nov 20 09:26:11 Me too. I love you blossom Nov 20 09:26:26 I love you too, Liebes Herz, always Nov 20 09:26:35 I'll see you tomorrow Nov 20 09:26:59 * Molly nods, blowing him a kiss “Sleep well, my love” Nov 20 09:27:53 And you love... goodnight Nov 20 09:28:46 * Molly smiles, gently covering the mirror with the paper from before with his badly-written name on it Nov 20 09:29:31 * Morgan covers the mirror, packing it up safely before spending a few minutes preparing his things for the morning Nov 20 09:30:06 *the rain increases, turning torrential on the glass behind the nightmare trap Nov 20 09:31:39 * Morgan sighs, getting undressed and into bed Nov 20 09:32:13 *it’s very quiet, but he at least has the fabric that smells of her Nov 20 09:32:48 * Morgan looks around the room before extinguishing the lamp and trying to sleep Nov 20 09:34:32 *he manages this easily, hazily dreaming that they don’t have enough tea cups for the baptisms and he has to ride around the various estates he is connected to to gather up more and more, rain filling the tea cups in the back of the cart. The dawn watch wakes him* Nov 20 09:35:26 * Morgan gets up, dressing quickly and getting his things ready Nov 20 09:36:07 ((Leaves Verity’s mirror? leaves or takes nightmare trap?)) Nov 20 09:37:34 ((Takes the trap, taking the mirror to his mothers room)) Nov 20 09:40:13 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 20 09:45:19 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Nov 20 09:45:27 ((Takes the trap, taking the mirror to his mothers room)) Nov 20 09:46:30 *her maid is waiting beside the door incase he is needed, doing some sewing. She rises and curtsies to him* Nov 20 09:47:43 Morning... would you take this to the Grafin, and -these- *he gives her the five guilders and a rolled package* to Yensid Nov 20 09:48:14 *Nanette nods* Yes, your Excellency Nov 20 09:48:58 Thank you, Nanette Nov 20 09:52:07 *She goes about her business* Nov 20 09:52:50 * Morgan gets his things ready to haul down to the stables Nov 20 09:55:40 *Xantha seems happy to see him for a change, perhaps realising that the bag means it’s time to go home Nov 20 09:56:14 * Morgan leads him out, saddling him and mounting the bag before waiting for the others Nov 20 09:59:00 *they aren’t far behind, getting mounted up and ready to go quietly. it’s still drizzly, and there is a great deal of surface water Nov 20 09:59:35 * Morgan pulls himself into the saddle, looking back at the house with a sigh before starting Xantha moving Nov 20 10:01:11 * Molly is now known as Claudia Nov 20 10:02:09 * Claudia takes off her big waterproof hat, reaching over to put it on Uinise before pulling up her hood. She rides between them as the light starts to appear Nov 20 10:02:14 How are you doing? Nov 20 10:02:34 * Morgan shrugs Nov 20 10:02:47 Sad. It seems... final. Nov 20 10:04:56 It looked like you resolved it last night? Nov 20 10:05:11 More or less... work to do I think Nov 20 10:05:42 could have been worse then Nov 20 10:05:52 * Morgan nods Nov 20 10:05:57 Yeah, much Nov 20 10:06:31 * Claudia nods Nov 20 10:06:49 just having to admit Hafenlohr is where you live now? Nov 20 10:07:17 * Morgan nods Nov 20 10:07:29 This has always been my home, you know? Nov 20 10:07:51 except when you lived in the cottage Nov 20 10:08:45 * Morgan nods Nov 20 10:10:50 * Claudia nods Nov 20 10:11:05 you’ll get used to it Nov 20 10:12:28 * Morgan nods Nov 20 10:12:33 Yeah, eventually Nov 20 10:16:40 * Claudia nods. The sun comes up, and he knows full well it will have set before he reaches home. This is the route he took when leaving Sudlachenburg behind him after the fire, the quickest route to Hafenlohr, but not the easiest. The rain damage becomes apparent very quickly, having to slow to pick through the mud and flowing water. By the time they find an inn for lunch, they are all cold and wet, and behind schedule. They sit close to the fire in the litt Nov 20 10:17:12 This is taking longer than I hoped Nov 20 10:17:19 * Claudia nods Nov 20 10:17:40 There’s a risk we’ll have to overnight somewhere Nov 20 10:17:50 * Morgan scowls Nov 20 10:17:59 Maybe Nov 20 10:18:25 U: I have read of your rain, but it happens much more than I thought! Nov 20 10:18:36 * Claudia smiles Nov 20 10:19:40 Definitely the time of year for it Nov 20 10:23:16 *they get served hot food, and it is quite good* Nov 20 10:23:35 U: I think I was what you would call rude last night Nov 20 10:24:10 * Morgan shrugs a little Nov 20 10:24:50 They may have found it rude, but in your culture it is normal to express yourself like that isn't it? Nov 20 10:26:08 *Uinise nods* If I am unhappy with people’s behaviour, I should tell them so they can fix it Nov 20 10:26:44 * Morgan nods Nov 20 10:26:53 My father was being rude and unkind Nov 20 10:27:32 U: why was he being that way? Nov 20 10:28:19 You know when an animal gets scared, they lash out at anyone around them? Nov 20 10:29:52 U: *she nods* Nov 20 10:30:01 Its like that Nov 20 10:31:29 U: Why was he scared? Nov 20 10:32:13 Because he found out something that he was raised to believe was... evil. Nov 20 10:32:52 U: *she nods* okay Nov 20 10:33:45 His apology is sincere Nov 20 10:35:04 U: he had feelings but couldn’t express them properly like we do Nov 20 10:35:30 * Morgan nods Nov 20 10:35:32 I suppose so Nov 20 10:37:58 U: I liked my visit to Sudlachenburg. You have many trees Nov 20 10:38:08 * Morgan nods Nov 20 10:38:19 I'm not particularly keen on them Nov 20 10:39:03 U: why? Nov 20 10:40:15 There are some... horrific things live among the trees Nov 20 10:42:19 U: you are scared of trees Nov 20 10:42:38 * Claudia smiles, eating Nov 20 10:42:53 No... I'm scared of the things that live there Nov 20 10:46:23 U: what lives there? Nov 20 10:46:49 One of the things is called the Schattenmann... its... terrifying Nov 20 10:47:22 U: I have heard of him. what else? Nov 20 10:48:01 Giant spiders... Nov 20 10:48:52 U: I have heard of spiders but I have not seen one Nov 20 10:49:11 Hang on... you've never seen a spider? Nov 20 10:49:54 U: No. I have seen drawings Nov 20 10:51:00 See if we can find one for you... I'll let Varick do that Nov 20 10:51:38 U: *she smiles* thank you, I would like to watch their house building, it sounds very clever Nov 20 10:51:54 * Morgan nods Nov 20 10:51:58 It is, and quite pretty Nov 20 10:52:54 U: I have seen a butterfly already,they are pretty Nov 20 10:53:10 * Morgan nods Nov 20 10:53:15 Frogs? Nov 20 10:53:39 U: they are the green ones from the water? Nov 20 10:54:26 * Morgan nods Nov 20 10:56:45 U: I would like to see them also Nov 20 10:57:14 * Morgan nods Nov 20 10:57:20 See what we can do Nov 20 11:00:25 *Uinise lists many other another animals and birds she wants to see, some of which are impossible in Eisen, but she’s in good humour nonetheless. Claudia is less so when they get back into the rain, the conversation petering out as they just have to plod on and on Nov 20 11:01:57 * Morgan looks about as they ride Nov 20 11:02:12 *the sights on this road no longer bring the intense painful memories of when he came in December* Nov 20 11:02:57 * Morgan settles into the saddle, half dozing Nov 20 11:04:57 *this is surprisingly pleasant, until Claudia says “Fucks sake!” Nov 20 11:05:20 * Morgan looks round Nov 20 11:06:03 *there’s a downed tree in their way, a couple of locals trying to work out what to do with it Nov 20 11:06:16 we could probably just go around it. Nov 20 11:06:31 And leave them stuffed with it? Nov 20 11:07:11 * Claudia looks at him Nov 20 11:07:23 it could add hours to our travel Nov 20 11:09:41 Lash the horses to that end, drag it round so there's space to pass Nov 20 11:10:04 U: We should help, that is what we do for others Nov 20 11:10:27 * Claudia looks to Morgan Nov 20 11:10:34 She's right Nov 20 11:10:59 alright, let’s do it then Nov 20 11:11:36 * Morgan nods, moving forward and getting down to asses the situation and get to work Nov 20 11:14:39 *The men are grateful for the help, and it does take hours to fully remove the tree and get it ready to be chopped for drying and using, the men enthusiastic about the extra wood for their families. Uinise loves this endeavour, full of questions about their techniques and their lives Nov 20 11:15:15 * Claudia watches this just as they are done “she’s so eager to learn anything and everything” Nov 20 11:15:45 * Morgan nods Nov 20 11:15:49 She is indeed Nov 20 11:17:54 * Claudia smiles “She’s making me sentimental” Nov 20 11:18:00 Oh? Nov 20 11:18:14 I smile all the time. it’s disgusting Nov 20 11:18:24 Its lovely Nov 20 11:19:45 * Claudia looks disgusted Nov 20 11:20:10 it’s not. people aren’t scared of me as much Nov 20 11:20:52 So? If anything that makes you more dangerous Nov 20 11:21:10 * Claudia huffs Nov 20 11:21:11 maybe Nov 20 11:21:35 No-one could possibly be smiling as much as you and actually be dangerous... oh no... Nov 20 11:24:22 I suppose so. *she looks them over* I think we’re done here. We’re going to be riding well into the night though Nov 20 11:24:45 * Morgan nods Nov 20 11:24:55 Yeah... I know... but it was the right thing to do Nov 20 11:27:12 * Claudia grins “Maybe there’ll be bandits” Nov 20 11:27:28 * Morgan nods, pulling himself back into the saddle Nov 20 11:27:30 Aye, maybe Nov 20 11:28:19 we can hope Nov 20 11:28:40 * Morgan nods, looking round and waiting for them to be ready before setting off again Nov 20 11:30:53 *There are no bandits. There’s not much of anything that happens aside from more mud, more big puddles. These get harder to navigate in the dark even with the lanterns they took from the tavern when they had a rushed dinner. Nov 20 11:31:51 Morgan, there’s an inn over there. it’s got to be ten already. If we press on at this pace, it’ll be after midnight to hit Hafenlohr. What do you want to do? Nov 20 11:32:16 * Morgan scowls Nov 20 11:32:24 I want to go home. But this isn't safe. Nov 20 11:32:58 * Claudia shrugs Nov 20 11:33:43 we could get more lanterns, but it’s up to you. If you promised you’d be there tonight... Nov 20 11:34:23 * Morgan looks at Uinise Nov 20 11:34:30 Are you needing to stop for the night? Nov 20 11:35:39 U: No, I am warm enough and I have the big hat. I can travel more hours, like people do here Nov 20 11:36:02 * Morgan nods, looking to Claudia Nov 20 11:36:25 * Claudia nods “I’ve done worse with worse company” Nov 20 11:36:33 * Morgan nods Nov 20 11:36:41 Lets get another couple of lanterns Nov 20 11:39:26 *They do so, and some more food to eat on the way. Luckily it stops raining, and there are signs that locals have cleared other trees on the way. Nov 20 11:40:14 **Eventually they reach the turning off for Hafenlohr* Nov 20 11:40:28 U: I am happy to see this Nov 20 11:40:34 * Morgan nods Nov 20 11:40:35 Me too Nov 20 11:42:05 * Claudia yawns Nov 20 11:42:13 it’s been a long day Nov 20 11:42:38 * Morgan nods Nov 20 11:44:06 I'll stable the horses, you two get inside Nov 20 11:44:37 *They go with goodnights. The stables are barely lit, but Xantha looks very eager to get there* Nov 20 11:45:19 * Morgan leads them in, unsaddling Xantha first and letting him into his stall before moving on to the other horses Nov 20 11:46:02 *Xantha immediately goes to nuzzle Aurora, not even interested in the oats there* Nov 20 11:46:33 * Morgan smiles slightly, doing the same with the other horses, getting them safely into their stalls before moving to stroke Xantha's face Nov 20 11:47:09 *Xantha rests his head in Morgan’s hand a moment* Nov 20 11:47:32 Good lad... rest now, we're home Nov 20 11:47:56 *Xantha turns his attention back to licking the face of his mate* Nov 20 11:48:23 * Morgan hauls his things off the ground, carrying them to the house, going in through the main door Nov 20 11:50:55 *A tired looking footman offers to take his coat* Nov 20 11:51:23 * Morgan takes his coat off Nov 20 11:51:28 Get it hung and lock up and go to bed Nov 20 11:52:54 *The man thanks him gratefully* Nov 20 11:53:25 * Morgan takes his things, carrying them up to his bedroom Nov 20 11:53:34 *there's only an extremely dim lantern in their room, Molly fast asleep on her stomach, hair looking beautiful. The room smells wonderful, lavender, roses, and her. It smells like home.* Nov 20 11:54:13 * Morgan quietly puts his things down, going through to the bathroom to get washed and dried before getting ready for bed Nov 20 11:54:34 *she doesn’t wake whilst he does this* Nov 20 11:55:16 * Morgan pads back through, gently climbing into the bed Nov 20 11:56:42 *She simply fidgets a little in her sleep until her foot meets his shin, physical contact established* Nov 20 11:57:04 * Morgan lets out a slow breath, settling to sleep Nov 20 12:14:46 *the long, hard day means he’s asleep almost instantly. He’s walking in the woods of Hafenlohr, Ballard at his side. In the tree line he sees a red stag* Nov 20 12:16:05 * Morgan starts heading towards it Nov 20 12:16:31 *it walks on away from him Nov 20 12:16:41 * Claudia is now known as Ballard Nov 20 12:16:47 * Morgan follows it Nov 20 12:17:21 * Ballard walks beside Morgan, sniffing the air. The stag speeds up through the trees Nov 20 12:17:39 * Morgan starts moving faster Nov 20 12:18:25 * Ballard makes a quiet woof, trotting beside his owner Nov 20 12:18:42 What is it lad? Nov 20 12:20:00 * Ballard looks at him then the stag, running faster then coming back Nov 20 12:20:12 * Morgan nods, starting to run Nov 20 12:21:16 *the stag is so hard to track, and he often has to rely on Ballard’s nose to stay on his trail* Nov 20 12:21:37 * Morgan encourages the dog, following him Nov 20 12:22:47 *they find the majestic stag in a clearing, looking like the lord of the forest Nov 20 12:23:08 * Morgan approaches it slowly Nov 20 12:23:33 *it scents the air, but doesn’t move* Nov 20 12:24:05 * Morgan continues moving toward it Nov 20 12:25:05 * Ballard walks beside him. The stag stands still.

His beautiful browny-red fur shines Nov 20 12:29:07 Oh... aren't you beautiful Nov 20 12:30:16 *The stag watches him as if it understands Nov 20 12:30:45 * Morgan reaches out to touch the stags flank, slowly Nov 20 12:31:51 *It’s fur is rich and soft. It stays where it is, permitting the touch Nov 20 12:32:08 What're you doing out here, hmm? Nov 20 12:32:49 *It sniffs him* Nov 20 12:33:11 Its alright... I'm not going to hurt you Nov 20 12:33:41 *it moves closer, sniffing his hair* Nov 20 12:34:13 * Morgan lets it Nov 20 12:35:27 * Ballard looks around before woofing softly again Nov 20 12:35:48 * Morgan looks at the dog before looking round Nov 20 12:36:32 *There’s nothing to see, but it smells of pine trees and snow* Nov 20 12:36:54 * Morgan frowns Nov 20 12:36:56 Madchen? Nov 20 12:37:16 *there’s a giggling from the trees* Nov 20 12:37:28 Is that you young lady? Nov 20 12:38:25 * Ballard is now known as Madchen Nov 20 12:38:33 Maeshun tree Nov 20 12:38:41 You're a tree? Nov 20 12:38:53 Nooo Maeshun in tree! Nov 20 12:39:03 You're in a tree? Nov 20 12:39:08 yes! Nov 20 12:39:19 *the stag starts to pull away Nov 20 12:39:38 * Morgan looks at the stag sadly, nodding slightly Nov 20 12:39:54 *it turns to go* Nov 20 12:40:18 * Morgan sighs, looking at it before turning to go find Madchen Nov 20 12:40:48 *he spots her in a tree, only the red hair giving away her hiding place Nov 20 12:41:12 Could hardly see you Nov 20 12:42:07 Maeshun ee-bah Nov 20 12:42:32 Wait, what? Nov 20 12:43:05 * Madchen covers her eyes with her hands “EE-bah” Nov 20 12:43:57 But.. how? Why? Nov 20 12:44:23 * Madchen holds her arms out for him Nov 20 12:44:49 * Morgan picks her up Nov 20 12:45:22 * Madchen hugs him Nov 20 12:45:27 Hi Vati Nov 20 12:45:49 * Morgan hugs her Nov 20 12:45:52 Hello little lady Nov 20 12:47:35 Maeshun miss Vati Nov 20 12:48:41 I missed you too Nov 20 12:49:00 Vati Hafelor Nov 20 12:49:50 * Morgan nods Nov 20 12:49:53 Yes, I'm back now Nov 20 12:52:00 Vati happy?

Nov 20 12:53:52 * Madchen smiles “Surprise” Nov 20 12:55:17 * Morgan smiles, kissing her crown Nov 20 12:56:06 chimes coming Nov 20 12:56:13 * Morgan nods Nov 20 12:56:19 When are you coming home Madchen? Nov 20 12:56:32 one day Nov 20 12:56:55 * Morgan nods, kissing her forehead Nov 20 12:57:27 * Madchen kisses him, smiling “Pa wake up. Stay still. Magic listen feel. “ Nov 20 12:58:21 Okay... Nov 20 12:58:43 love Vati Nov 20 12:58:51 I love you Nov 20 12:58:57 *The dawn watch chimes* Nov 20 12:59:29 See you soon Nov 20 12:59:42 See soon Vati Nov 20 12:59:50 * Morgan nods, trying to wake up Nov 20 12:59:56 **he wakes up, curled behind Molly, his arm around her. It's dark and warm* Nov 20 13:00:10 * Morgan stays still, listening Nov 20 13:01:09 *it’s all quiet. His hand is on her lower belly. She firmer and fuller here than before** Nov 20 13:01:37 * Morgan frowns, trying to feel with his magic Nov 20 13:02:05 **he can magically sense that there is something within warmer than the rest of her body, not by much, but noticable** Nov 20 13:02:29 * Morgan puts his face to her, sniffing quietly Nov 20 13:03:05 * the scent of her hits him, something that's been lingering in his mind after dreams of her being with child for months, except now he knows he can actually smell it, has maybe even been smelling it all along** Nov 20 13:03:48 * Morgan makes a noise of surprise, springing out of the bed Nov 20 13:04:00 * Madchen is now known as Molly Nov 20 13:04:20 * Molly stirs only a little, murmuring “oh good, you’re home...” Nov 20 13:04:36 * Morgan just stands there, staring at her Nov 20 13:04:57 *there’s not much light to see by* Nov 20 13:05:16 * Morgan gets back on the bed, kneeling Nov 20 13:05:27 yeah... yeah,I'm home... Nov 20 13:05:40 * Molly sighs happily Nov 20 13:06:06 good... *she still sounds mostly asleep* Nov 20 13:06:28 Moll... is there... do you need to tell me something? Nov 20 13:06:38 hmm? Nov 20 13:07:23 I know... I know its early but... is there anything you need to tell me? Nov 20 13:08:28 * Molly rouses herself. She stretches, smiling “Good morning. Should I tell you I am very ready to be reunited? would you like to hear that?” Nov 20 13:08:47 * Morgan watches her Nov 20 13:08:52 Was fairly sure that already... Nov 20 13:09:01 * Molly smiles Nov 20 13:09:02 anything... -else-? Nov 20 13:09:17 * Molly shakes her head, looking confused Nov 20 13:09:29 I don’t think so? I am glad you are home? Nov 20 13:09:48 * Morgan nods, pulling her into a cuddle, sniffing at her neck quietly Nov 20 13:10:30 *She definitely smells pregnant. she makes a little sound of pleasure* Oh I’ve missed your touch greatly Nov 20 13:10:42 * Morgan leans back on his haunches Nov 20 13:10:51 well... shit. Nov 20 13:11:14 * Molly sighs “It’s too close to dawn?” Nov 20 13:11:32 You... smell different Nov 20 13:12:02 I have been using that perfume from the Empire? Nov 20 13:12:12 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 20 13:12:35 * Morgan uses his magic again, double checking Nov 20 13:12:38 * Molly sits up a little, propping a pillow behind her Nov 20 13:13:11 don’t you like it? Nov 20 13:13:14 **The warmer area is very low down, just above the crease at the top of her mound. It's about the size of a big apple. Nov 20 13:14:39 holy... shit. Nov 20 13:16:06 * Molly looks a little frustrated “My love... I’ve waited days for you, and now you do not like how I smell. If it would make you wish to be intimate with me, I will bathe whilst you watch the dawn” Nov 20 13:16:25 No... no you don't understand... Nov 20 13:16:39 * Molly sighs sadly Nov 20 13:16:58 you are still stressed, and you do not have those feelings. I’m sorry Nov 20 13:17:45 * Morgan closes his eyes for a moment, smiling Nov 20 13:19:45 * Molly watches him with a look of concern Nov 20 13:20:53 I think... perhaps... it would be worth checking yourself over... Nov 20 13:21:13 Why? I feel perfectly well Nov 20 13:21:27 Because I think you might realise we are not alone Nov 20 13:22:06 * Molly is clearly not getting it, looking around “I thought he was on his bed in the dressing room” Nov 20 13:22:24 * Morgan takes a deep breath, before looking at her Nov 20 13:22:36 But the baby in your belly is not Nov 20 13:22:48 * Molly looks puzzled Nov 20 13:24:06 that’s impossible. I am not sparkly until tomorrow, and my courses still come. If anything, they are getting even lighter every month, so the herbs are definitely still affecting me Nov 20 13:25:01 You are... firmer... in the belly... you -smell- pregnant... and there is something there, I can... I can feel it. Nov 20 13:25:52 * Molly nods slowly, a little stunned “I’ve gained another inch since I measured last week...” Nov 20 13:26:01 * Morgan nods Nov 20 13:26:37 * Molly concentrates, and his neck prickles Nov 20 13:28:16 *he can hear the ticking of the mantle clock* Nov 20 13:28:32 * Morgan glances at it Nov 20 13:29:06 *it says one minute before six. She draws a sharp breath* Nov 20 13:29:17 * Morgan looks back to her Nov 20 13:30:08 * Molly ‘s eyes are wide with shock, and she says so quietly, as if she might scare it away “I’m pregnant?!” Nov 20 13:30:24 * Morgan nods Nov 20 13:30:27 Smells like it to me Nov 20 13:30:51 * Molly looks to him, absolutely delighted “I’m pregnant!” Nov 20 13:31:00 * Morgan grins, pulling her to him Nov 20 13:31:23 * Molly starts to laugh, wrapping her arms around his neck Nov 20 13:31:57 * Morgan holds onto her Nov 20 13:32:07 I can’t believe it! Nov 20 13:32:50 I didn't... I had no idea Nov 20 13:33:10 * Molly shakes her head, squeezing him tightly Nov 20 13:33:34 Me either! And it’s big, it must have been months ago! Nov 20 13:33:48 wait... how far? Nov 20 13:33:57 * Molly shrugs Nov 20 13:34:11 I’m not sure yet! This is so exciting, I’m so happy! Nov 20 13:34:23 * Morgan nods Nov 20 13:35:05 * Molly pulls back so she can look at him, happy tears in her eyes Nov 20 13:35:09 Are you pleased? Nov 20 13:35:17 * Morgan nods, looking stunned Nov 20 13:35:22 I cant believe we didn't know Nov 20 13:35:33 * Molly smiles, kissing him a moment Nov 20 13:35:43 They’ve obviously been hiding away! Nov 20 13:36:20 * Morgan nods, gently putting a hand to her abdomen Nov 20 13:36:45 * Molly watches his eyes, breath catching Nov 20 13:37:31 Well... shit Nov 20 13:37:56 * Molly smiles, nods, tears running down her cheeks Nov 20 13:38:16 I dont’... think... we’re getting pregnant... in Autumn Nov 20 13:38:35 No... thats... confusing... Nov 20 13:38:47 * Molly shakes her head Nov 20 13:39:03 I think... we’re.... having... a baby... in Autumn! Nov 20 13:39:15 * Morgan laughs, kissing her Nov 20 13:39:53 * Molly kisses him hard a moment before she pulls back again, looking at him fondly Nov 20 13:40:00 we’re having a baby. Nov 20 13:40:08 * Morgan nods Nov 20 13:40:12 We are having a baby Nov 20 13:40:34 * Molly squeals excitedly “We’re having a baby!,” Nov 20 13:40:53 * Morgan puts his head to hers, shushing her Nov 20 13:40:58 Don't want to wake the boys Nov 20 13:41:07 * Molly giggles “Sorry” Nov 20 13:41:28 What are we going to do? Nov 20 13:41:35 * Molly laughs Nov 20 13:41:46 it’s rather a little late for all that, my love! Nov 20 13:42:05 I mean... a doctor? A midwife? Nov 20 13:42:17 * Molly shakes her head Nov 20 13:42:32 I’ll have another feel, in a minute... Nov 20 13:42:44 * Morgan nods Nov 20 13:43:16 * Molly kisses him softly “Come, lie beside me, I want to hold you” Nov 20 13:43:29 * Morgan nods, moving beside her Nov 20 13:44:46 * Molly lies with him, a leg over his shin, and her fingers weaved between his. She smiles, filled with joy “Welcome home, Vati...” Nov 20 13:45:25 * Morgan makes a noise, halfway between a laugh and a sob, pressing his face to her Nov 20 13:45:55 * Molly kisses his temple Nov 20 13:46:25 It should not be possible for anyone to feel this happy! Nov 20 13:47:02 Sort of feels... like you're going to burst Nov 20 13:47:16 Not for several months at least! Nov 20 13:48:11 * Morgan chuckles Nov 20 13:48:33 My god... how did this happen?! Nov 20 13:50:02 I'm fairly sure its from making love... Nov 20 13:50:46 * Molly smiles Nov 20 13:50:56 which we have practiced a great deal Nov 20 13:51:08 Quite so Nov 20 13:51:31 * Molly giggles again Nov 20 13:51:46 oh my god! I can’t believe it! Nov 20 13:51:52 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 20 13:51:57 No... me either Nov 20 13:52:15 * Molly kisses him again Nov 20 13:53:08 I had no idea Nov 20 13:53:32 So I gathered Nov 20 13:54:21 * Molly watches him so fondly Nov 20 13:54:29 I love you, so much. Nov 20 13:55:01 And I you, my love Nov 20 13:55:37 * Molly smiles again Nov 20 13:55:49 I am the happiest woman in the world! Nov 20 13:56:34 * Morgan just watches he, smiling faintly Nov 20 13:56:50 what, my love? what are you thinking? Nov 20 13:58:15 For once... I'm not Nov 20 13:59:11 * Molly nods, kissing him gently “Good” Nov 20 14:01:10 * Morgan takes a deep breath Nov 20 14:01:20 What will we tell HeinzHarold and Inga? Nov 20 14:01:30 nothing yet I think? Nov 20 14:02:50 Even though they told us? Nov 20 14:03:07 they needed my help Nov 20 14:03:23 You think thats why they told us? Nov 20 14:04:33 I think so, I think they would have waited a little longer if they’d needed to be sure Nov 20 14:05:37 No... the only reason they didn't tell us sooner was they didn't want us upset Nov 20 14:05:57 * Molly shrugs a little Nov 20 14:07:10 would you wish to work out a little more of the situation we find ourselves in? Nov 20 14:07:23 * Morgan watches her Nov 20 14:07:32 Their joy still upset you I think Nov 20 14:07:41 * Molly shakes her head Nov 20 14:07:51 no, I like having a secret with you Nov 20 14:08:50 * Morgan nods Nov 20 14:08:56 Alright love. Nov 20 14:09:05 * Molly smiles Nov 20 14:09:13 how much do you wish to know? Nov 20 14:09:36 About... Nov 20 14:09:45 * Molly smiles warmly Nov 20 14:09:56 about the baby within me Nov 20 14:10:02 * Morgan grins briefly Nov 20 14:10:05 All of it Nov 20 14:10:29 you wish to know what sex it is, and how developed it is? Nov 20 14:10:43 * Morgan rubs his chin Nov 20 14:10:57 What do you think? I suppose you'll -have- to know... Nov 20 14:11:45 I think I will, yes Nov 20 14:12:16 Then I would not have you being alone in that Nov 20 14:12:26 * Molly nods Nov 20 14:12:45 are you ready? Nov 20 14:12:55 * Morgan nods Nov 20 14:12:59 Yes, I am Nov 20 14:13:03 Oh! But what about dawn? Nov 20 14:13:52 Its worth missing it for Nov 20 14:14:33 * Molly kisses him softly a moments, the closes her eyes. His neck prickles Nov 20 14:14:51 * Morgan watches her Nov 20 14:15:04 A nice strong heartbeat... Nov 20 14:15:50 * Morgan nods Nov 20 14:15:50 arms and legs to the correct number... Nov 20 14:15:55 excellent Nov 20 14:16:06 fingers and toes too Nov 20 14:16:17 useful Nov 20 14:16:44 eye, nose, mouth, as expected... Nov 20 14:17:14 Good, good... Nov 20 14:17:55 * Molly keeps her eyes closed, but presses her hand firmer against his Nov 20 14:18:01 the size of my palm Nov 20 14:18:12 * Morgan nods Nov 20 14:18:21 Felt about the size of a big apple to me Nov 20 14:18:42 that’s about the same then... Nov 20 14:19:56 * Molly opens her eyes, smiling Nov 20 14:20:32 I will use the book from Capperlucia to check when the baby is likely to have been conceived, based on the size Nov 20 14:21:56 * Morgan nods Nov 20 14:21:57 Alright Nov 20 14:22:09 * Molly smiles Nov 20 14:22:43 Your child seems strong and healthy to me, and my body is looking after them well Nov 20 14:23:29 * Morgan nods, looking relieved Nov 20 14:23:32 good Nov 20 14:24:00 I can easily tell the sex, this is the last chance for you not to know Nov 20 14:24:11 No love, we do this together Nov 20 14:24:32 * Molly nods, watching him Nov 20 14:25:12 Then might I introduce you to the future Veisgraf Gottkirchen and Sudlachenburg... Nov 20 14:25:30 A boy... Nov 20 14:25:36 * Molly nods, smiling Nov 20 14:25:38 yes Nov 20 14:25:50 * Morgan grins, kissing her Nov 20 14:26:04 * Molly kisses him Nov 20 14:27:02 well... shit Nov 20 14:27:07 You are happy with that, my love? Nov 20 14:27:29 To have another son? Of course I am Nov 20 14:27:39 * Molly nods Nov 20 14:28:13 I thought I’d just eaten too much recently! Nov 20 14:28:54 * Morgan nods Nov 20 14:29:02 I know... Nov 20 14:29:20 * Molly smiles Nov 20 14:29:41 I thought you would find my body less desirable Nov 20 14:30:10 I did not... I do not. Nov 20 14:30:19 * Molly nods Nov 20 14:30:28 I am glad. Nov 20 14:31:09 * Morgan nods, holding her to him Nov 20 14:31:30 * Molly cuddles up to him Nov 20 14:31:39 would you pinch me? Nov 20 14:32:00 * Morgan does so Nov 20 14:32:10 ouch! thank you Nov 20 14:32:14 I've been keeping an eye to things turning blue... Nov 20 14:32:22 shall I pinch you? Nov 20 14:32:34 * Morgan nods Nov 20 14:33:01 * Molly pinches him firmly. It hurts Nov 20 14:33:10 * Morgan nods Nov 20 14:33:47 I think it’s not a dream then! Nov 20 14:35:22 * Morgan nods Nov 20 14:35:25 Thank god for that Nov 20 14:35:33 * Molly giggles Nov 20 14:35:59 definitely Nov 20 14:36:56 My parents will be thrilled.... Nov 20 14:37:26 * Molly nods Nov 20 14:37:31 They will Nov 20 14:37:41 And yours Nov 20 14:37:52 * Molly nods Nov 20 14:38:00 And -Varick- Nov 20 14:38:14 * Morgan nods Nov 20 14:38:25 Oh... I have made a discovery I don't yet understand... Nov 20 14:38:32 * Molly smiles Nov 20 14:38:42 Another one? Nov 20 14:38:58 * Morgan nods Nov 20 14:39:09 Ee-bah... Nov 20 14:39:18 oh? Nov 20 14:39:26 Madchen says its her Nov 20 14:39:49 That is very confusing Nov 20 14:40:12 I -did-say I don't understand it Nov 20 14:40:21 * Molly nods Nov 20 14:41:37 he somehow knows she will come? Nov 20 14:41:45 * Morgan shrugs Nov 20 14:41:47 I don't know Nov 20 14:41:59 what else did she say? Nov 20 14:43:07 The red stag was a surprise... I. Caught up with it, touched it, when Madchen made herself known... Nov 20 14:43:39 * Morgan frowns Nov 20 14:43:53 She's more confusing than most adults Nov 20 14:44:23 * Molly nods thoughtfully Nov 20 14:44:46 You have been seeing it for weeks, getting closer? Nov 20 14:44:55 * Morgan nods Nov 20 14:44:56 yes Nov 20 14:45:09 and you finally caught it... Nov 20 14:45:51 * Morgan nods Nov 20 14:45:53 I did Nov 20 14:46:05 and it is a surprise... Nov 20 14:47:38 * Morgan nods Nov 20 14:47:39 indeed Nov 20 14:48:00 * Molly moves his hand to her lower belly Nov 20 14:48:04 like this one Nov 20 14:48:24 * Morgan nods, squeezing gently Nov 20 14:48:41 * Molly smiles Nov 20 14:49:38 Perhaps he will be Hirschen, *Avalonian* little stag? Nov 20 14:49:49 * Morgan nods Nov 20 14:49:52 I like that Nov 20 14:49:58 * Molly nods Nov 20 14:50:08 me too Nov 20 14:51:53 * Molly spends several minutes just stroking his arm, his face, and looking blissfully happy Nov 20 14:53:26 alright... I think... I'm going to do something unusual and have a bath Nov 20 14:53:35 * Molly nods Nov 20 14:53:57 of course, my love. I want to find my book and my diary Nov 20 14:54:32 * Morgan nods, kissing her and rolling out of bed to get his bath started Nov 20 14:55:50 * Molly pulls on a gown, getting up. He notices from the window that the sun is almost up Nov 20 14:57:17 * Morgan stops, watching through the window as he waits for the bath to fill Nov 20 14:57:52 *the sun comes up just as the bath fills to the level he wants Nov 20 14:58:25 * Morgan stops it, climbing in and sinking so his nose is just above the water Nov 20 14:59:17 * Molly doesn’t interrupt him Nov 20 15:00:25 * Morgan gets himself clean, getting out and start the bath draining as he dries off Nov 20 15:01:38 * Molly is sat on the made bed with paper, a pencil, the book, and her diary Nov 20 15:02:10 *He can smell the difference having been in the other room with the steam* Nov 20 15:02:52 * Morgan nods to himself Nov 20 15:03:17 * Molly doesn’t look up Nov 20 15:04:40 * Morgan finds some clothes Nov 20 15:04:42 You alright? Nov 20 15:04:48 yes... Nov 20 15:04:53 * Morgan looks at her Nov 20 15:04:55 You're sure? Nov 20 15:05:42 yes... it’s just... looking at the sizes in the book, I am already four months pregnant Nov 20 15:05:53 * Morgan blinks Nov 20 15:05:56 I'm sorry? Nov 20 15:06:07 * Molly nods Nov 20 15:06:15 four months. Nov 20 15:06:37 I don't see how Nov 20 15:07:25 well, it looks like we must have conceived immediately after I ended the herbs, in Graben. Nov 20 15:07:35 That makes no sense at all Nov 20 15:08:20 That was the morning we were intimate three times. Do you recall, the draw had changed? Nov 20 15:09:15 * Morgan thinks Nov 20 15:10:42 *That time was December 28th, two days after she’d finished the herbs. Where before he had wanted her intensely, that time there was also a very strong desire to spend within her and make her pregnant* Nov 20 15:11:22 * Morgan nods Nov 20 15:11:25 yes... yes I recall Nov 20 15:11:32 * Molly nods Nov 20 15:13:22 I do recall a specific desire to make you pregnant... Nov 20 15:13:48 Yes, it was strong, wasn’t it? And then in January my course was lighter, but I put it down to the after effects. My breasts were sore, but I thought that was from having to keep the Queen Anne’s lace... Nov 20 15:14:07 * Morgan nods Nov 20 15:14:10 indeed Nov 20 15:14:24 When... when would the quickening be? Nov 20 15:15:04 *she looks at the diary, then the book, and then back* Any time in the next month Nov 20 15:15:34 * Morgan nods Nov 20 15:15:38 god Nov 20 15:15:44 * Molly nods Nov 20 15:16:33 There was more too. I had leaking, I thought I needed extra Queen Anne’s Lace. I was emotional, but I thought it was from wanting Emil, and then from nursing... Nov 20 15:16:44 * Morgan nods Nov 20 15:16:46 Mmhmmm Nov 20 15:17:53 And I was tired... I thought that was nursing too. And then in Capperlucia, I was exhausted, I was forever falling asleep or needing a nap! I assumed I was overdoing it, but Inga was fine Nov 20 15:18:17 * Morgan nods Nov 20 15:18:25 But it was... no morning sickness... Nov 20 15:19:27 I had some times I felt queasy in Capperlucia, but I thought it was the heat, and then on the way back whilst you were Captaining, I just put it down to all the strain of the time there and the nursing Nov 20 15:20:00 Not just my captaining... Nov 20 15:20:07 * Molly giggles Nov 20 15:20:14 no, you did well Nov 20 15:21:12 Oh! And last month you’d said the energy from the sparkliness hadn’t been as intense Nov 20 15:21:37 * Morgan nods Nov 20 15:21:39 That is true Nov 20 15:22:44 And last month my course lasted barely a few hours, do you recall how upset I was that there had been no return to fertility despite it being the end of the third clear month? Nov 20 15:23:25 * Morgan nods Nov 20 15:23:27 I do indeed Nov 20 15:23:36 * Molly smiles, blushing Nov 20 15:23:43 I am such an idiot Nov 20 15:24:17 No... given the information at hand, your conclusions were perfectly reasonabe Nov 20 15:24:47 but there were so many little signs that I ascribed to other things Nov 20 15:25:07 That could easily have been ascribed to those things, otherwise someone else would'e pointed them out Nov 20 15:25:52 Inga did say in Capperlucia she was worried about my tiredness, but I don’t think she was considering this! Nov 20 15:26:02 No... indeed Nov 20 15:26:20 * Molly goes through the diary, counting Nov 20 15:26:58 It looks like he is due to come from the final week in August through to the end of September Nov 20 15:27:15 autumn... just... Nov 20 15:27:26 * Molly looks up at him “My god, it’s already April!” Nov 20 15:27:35 * Morgan nods, looking troubled Nov 20 15:27:45 what is wrong? Nov 20 15:27:51 My dream... thats now how it was Nov 20 15:28:34 but we’re having a baby earlier, is that a problem Nov 20 15:28:36 ? Nov 20 15:28:54 It throws the other things into doubt Nov 20 15:28:59 such as? Nov 20 15:30:26 Mina was pregnant... HeinzHarolds little one had not long been born... Mina had accepted Florrie... Nov 20 15:31:13 Maybe those things will happen still, just on a different schedule Nov 20 15:31:48 * Morgan nods Nov 20 15:31:51 I hope so... Nov 20 15:33:22 please... just for now, let’s focus on the joy, not everything else? *she watches him* Let’s just have the precious moments others have? Nov 20 15:33:40 * Morgan nods Nov 20 15:33:41 Sorry Nov 20 15:33:59 * Molly nods, holding out her hand Nov 20 15:34:18 * Morgan takes it Nov 20 15:34:28 you can feel him with your magic? Nov 20 15:35:37 Sort of, yes Nov 20 15:36:37 * Molly lies back, parting the robe a little Nov 20 15:36:41 come and feel Nov 20 15:37:53 * Morgan looks at her, kneeling beside her Nov 20 15:37:55 How? Nov 20 15:38:26 put your hand on my belly and feel with your magic, like with that Vesten ship? Nov 20 15:38:57 * Morgan nods, putting his hand where she instructed, reaching out with his magic Nov 20 15:39:27 **he senses the warmer spot within her move to one side a little, then back, but Molly hasn't moved* Nov 20 15:39:56 * Morgan nods Nov 20 15:40:03 I feel him Nov 20 15:40:52 * Molly watches him fondly Nov 20 15:40:55 you do? Nov 20 15:41:16 * Morgan nods Nov 20 15:41:22 He's fidgeting Nov 20 15:41:49 * Molly ‘s eyes widen Nov 20 15:41:57 you can feel him move?! Nov 20 15:42:33 With the magic Nov 20 15:42:44 * Molly watches his face Nov 20 15:42:49 how do you feel? Nov 20 15:43:41 elated Nov 20 15:44:25 * Molly nods Nov 20 15:44:35 me too Nov 20 15:45:04 * Morgan smiles, rubbing her belly Nov 20 15:45:34 * Molly sighs happily Nov 20 15:45:57 I am going to require you to rub my belly like this very frequently Nov 20 15:46:12 * Morgan nods Nov 20 15:46:14 gladly Nov 20 15:46:39 * Molly smiles “And lower, once you are less stunned!” Nov 20 15:47:12 * Morgan nods Nov 20 15:47:17 Yes, indeed Nov 20 15:48:02 * Molly smiles, but there is a hint of uncertainty there “And you do like how I smell?” Nov 20 15:48:47 * Morgan nods Nov 20 15:48:50 Very very much Nov 20 15:49:34 * Molly looks relieved Nov 20 15:49:47 How on Theah have we missed it? Nov 20 15:50:20 I've been having more dreams of it lately... Nov 20 15:51:44 *Thinking on it, every time he has dreamt of her pregnant for months he has either woken with his face against her hair, on her pillow, or with the fabric that smells of her like when he dreamt a few nights ago of her pregnant and them waiting for the priest to come* Nov 20 15:51:47 you have Nov 20 15:52:19 And every time I've been able to smell you... how did I not realise? Nov 20 15:52:42 * Molly shakes her head Nov 20 15:52:57 I have no idea, it’s almost like... Nov 20 15:53:25 Like? Nov 20 15:53:31 like magic Nov 20 15:54:08 * Morgan nods, sighing a little Nov 20 15:54:22 * Molly watches him Nov 20 15:54:27 why do you sigh? Nov 20 15:54:41 I'm a little... perturbed by that Nov 20 15:55:11 it’s odd, combined with my new ability to disappear Nov 20 15:55:18 * Morgan nods Nov 20 15:55:20 Yes, it is Nov 20 15:56:11 * Molly pulls him down to briefly kiss him “Do you know what I -really-, -really- need now?” Nov 20 15:56:30 I don't Nov 20 15:56:47 something hot and steamy... Nov 20 15:56:54 Ah, a bath Nov 20 15:57:25 and coffee... and later, you. Nov 20 15:57:32 * Morgan nods Nov 20 15:57:49 Alright. I'm going to get my things stowed Nov 20 15:57:55 * Molly nods, smiling Nov 20 15:58:19 You’ll wish to go and get some fresh air, walk Ballard and mull things over Nov 20 15:58:30 Probably a good idea, yes Nov 20 15:58:38 * Molly nods Nov 20 15:59:09 I will see you in a while then, father of my three sons... Nov 20 16:00:28 * Morgan nods, kissing her before picking up his things from the corner of the room, carrying them down to his office Nov 20 16:02:15 *it’s quiet in the house, but staff still go about their work. His office, however, is silent* Nov 20 16:02:42 * Morgan puts a few things away, locking the door before trotting back upstairs, quietly calling the dog Nov 20 16:04:10 *he can hear Molly singing in the bathroom, the door closed. Ballard comes to him* Nov 20 16:04:30 Come on boy, lets go for a.... Walk! Nov 20 16:05:17 *Ballard looks very excited, running out of the room and down the hall before turning to see if Morgan is following* Nov 20 16:06:26 * Morgan walks quickly along down to the main door, fetching a coat and opening the door Nov 20 16:07:00 *staff all bow and curtsey to him, but no one interrupts* Nov 20 16:07:32 * Morgan says good morning to each of them, turning straight for the gardens once outside Nov 20 16:07:43 Lets find you a stick... Nov 20 16:08:03 *There are plenty around* Nov 20 16:08:30 * Morgan picks one up, teasing the dog a moment before hurling it into the distance Nov 20 16:09:04 *Ballard goes running for it. From behind him he hears Nov 20 16:09:09 * Molly is now known as HH Nov 20 16:09:23 where were you this morning, eh? Nov 20 16:09:37 You know what time I got back? Nov 20 16:09:42 yep Nov 20 16:10:01 I wanted a bath Nov 20 16:10:21 * HH sniggers “That what we’re callin it now?” Nov 20 16:10:53 apparently Nov 20 16:11:27 * HH offers him the cup of coffee he’s holding Nov 20 16:11:42 glad to be home? Nov 20 16:11:50 * Morgan nods Nov 20 16:11:56 Yeah, for the most part Nov 20 16:12:07 Cept for me?

Nov 20 16:14:43 There was a risk of it for a while Nov 20 16:14:56 Went to see Da... told him about Inga... Nov 20 16:15:50 * HH grins Nov 20 16:17:02 tell him I get to be a Da too, did ya?

Nov 20 16:19:41 * HH nods Nov 20 16:20:49 Molly said July or August time Nov 20 16:21:16 * Morgan nods Nov 20 16:21:21 Not too long then Nov 20 16:21:27 * HH nods Nov 20 16:21:40 Will fly by when th’ house needs doing Nov 20 16:21:56 *Ballard comes back with the stick* Nov 20 16:22:11 * Morgan nods, pulling at the stick Nov 20 16:22:28 Once the baptism's done, we're gonn have Ruth come and stay Nov 20 16:22:33 *The dog enjoys the game* Nov 20 16:22:45 why, what did I do wrong?!

I just said she was wrong, and that taking matters in hand, so to speak, is entirely normal and accepted in Capperlucia Nov 20 17:14:51 * HH laughs so hard he grasps at his groin Nov 20 17:14:57 you said that to a maid?! Nov 20 17:15:10 Oh, no, it wasn't a maid that asked me... I was summoned by the Grafin... Nov 20 17:15:56 you said it to your Ma?! holy shit! Nov 20 17:16:07 In more delicate terms...

Us though, apparently we don’t need them as much! Nov 20 17:32:34 Seems unfair... Nov 20 17:33:13 * HH nods Nov 20 17:33:32 Damn straight, I didn’t get me a wife to have no bubbies for a week! Nov 20 17:33:43 Apparently though... you did Nov 20 17:34:33 best part of a fortnight for you, ain’t it?

Nov 20 22:18:39 * Morgan nods Nov 20 22:18:42 He's a -massive- tit Nov 20 22:18:44 Yep Nov 20 22:18:46 looking forward to seein him?

Nov 20 22:26:54 I dunno.... c'mon Nov 20 22:27:01 * Morgan starts towards the dog at a trot Nov 20 22:27:30 * HH jogs over too. Ballard looks to be guarding Nov 20 22:27:40 What you got there boy? Nov 20 22:28:04 * HH looks around. Ballard is staring fixedly at one wide tree Nov 20 22:28:16 * Morgan looks at it Nov 20 22:28:50 *he sees a little movement from behind it. Ballard makes a threatening growl Nov 20 22:29:00 Ballard, down Nov 20 22:29:16 *the dog does what he is told* Nov 20 22:29:46 * Morgan moves toward it, stepping around to give himself some space Nov 20 22:30:16 *A Nibelungen is stood behind the tree, looking surprisingly wary Nov 20 22:30:38 * Morgan looks at it Nov 20 22:30:48 What brings... no... why are you here? Nov 20 22:31:03 * HH has stayed with the dog Nov 20 22:31:10 * HH is now known as Nibelungen Nov 20 22:31:14 to talk to you Nov 20 22:31:27 * Morgan nods, calling back to HeinzHarold Nov 20 22:31:37 Take him inside please man... I'll be along soon Nov 20 22:32:25 *HH shouts “No problem. C’mon fur face, race you to bacon!” the dog seems happy enough going with HH Nov 20 22:32:46 * Morgan looks back to the Nieblungen Nov 20 22:32:49 Yes? Nov 20 22:33:11 We have been able to see some paths again Nov 20 22:33:29 That is good? Nov 20 22:33:58 yes. But this path here is far from the path we expected to still be on Nov 20 22:34:16 Go on... Nov 20 22:34:45 We did not expect a convergence of your bloodlines this soon Nov 20 22:35:00 No... no-one did it seems. Nov 20 22:35:40 we will watch the paths Nov 20 22:35:58 This one we're on now... what can you tell me about it? Nov 20 22:36:57 The child has magic. He will be born in the month of September Nov 20 22:37:16 What sort of magic? When will it manifest? Nov 20 22:37:25 it already has Nov 20 22:37:58 I don't understand Nov 20 22:38:17 The child has the magical ability to hide Nov 20 22:38:39 -thats- why Molly can do it... will she retain that once the child is born? Nov 20 22:38:52 We d not believe so Nov 20 22:39:53 This path... it leads to the confrontation quicker? Nov 20 22:40:19 That is far away. We do not see that far still Nov 20 22:40:50 * Morgan nods Nov 20 22:41:04 I am told my brother will have a child in February... can you see that? Nov 20 22:41:31 That still looks very likely Nov 20 22:41:50 God I hope so Nov 20 22:43:07 * Nibelungen looks to be awaiting more questions Nov 20 22:43:34 * Morgan sighs Nov 20 22:43:42 Alright, what else? What else can you tell me? Nov 20 22:45:04 that for what we can foresee, you should just live your life for now without trying to adhere to a path Nov 20 22:45:53 I will do what I will do... Nov 20 22:46:04 * Nibelungen nods Nov 20 22:46:08 yes Nov 20 22:46:43 * Morgan nods Nov 20 22:46:47 You're scared of my dog Nov 20 22:46:59 They are bigger to us than to you Nov 20 22:47:20 * Morgan nods Nov 20 22:47:50 Alright. The swords will be ready soon Nov 20 22:48:00 yes soon Nov 20 22:49:33 * Morgan nods Nov 20 22:49:35 I appreciate that Nov 20 22:49:51 * Nibelungen nods Nov 20 22:50:12 We congratulate you on converging your lines. Nov 20 22:50:21 * Morgan looks surprised Nov 20 22:50:28 Thats... thoughtful of you. Thank you Nov 20 22:50:37 * Nibelungen nods Nov 20 22:50:45 was there more? Nov 20 22:50:59 Not that I can think of right now Nov 20 22:51:17 * Nibelungen nods Nov 20 22:52:31 I'm pretty good at hiding in plain site... when Molly started doing it, I wondered if maybe... its a form of magic that I use... but its not, is it Nov 20 22:52:51 no, it is not magic, it is skill Nov 20 22:53:00 * Morgan nods Nov 20 22:53:05 Alright, thank you. Nov 20 22:53:52 Only the boy Emil can see through the child’s magic that we know of Nov 20 22:54:16 Is that why he keeps saying EE-bah? Nov 20 22:54:35 Yes. He sees the hiding magic being used Nov 20 22:55:10 Why the EE? Normally he just gets excited Nov 20 22:55:31 We don’t not know Nov 20 22:55:41 * Morgan nods Nov 20 22:56:12 For future reference... I would prefer you refer to him as my son, as with Varick and my future sons... and the girls will be my daughters... alright? Nov 20 22:56:51 your son Emil Nov 20 22:57:37 Thank you. It means a great deal to me Nov 20 22:57:45 * Nibelungen nods Nov 20 22:57:59 I rode a dragon Nov 20 22:58:12 we have seen that Nov 20 22:58:26 Are they a relation of the drachen? Nov 20 22:58:37 yes and no Nov 20 22:58:43 Explain Nov 20 22:59:16 they come from the same family but they are not closely related Nov 20 22:59:35 like... different types of fish, both fish but not both carp... Nov 20 23:00:33 like two people draw a fish. both drawing of fish, not same drawing Nov 20 23:00:55 Thats a good analogy. Are you Syrnith? Nov 20 23:01:13 * Nibelungen looks surprised, for the first time Nov 20 23:01:43 why do you need to know? Nov 20 23:02:07 Well, its not so I can use it against you if thats what concerns you Nov 20 23:02:26 yes Nov 20 23:04:10 * Morgan looks at the Nieblungen closely Nov 20 23:04:21 We are allies, are we not? Nov 20 23:06:21 yes Nov 20 23:07:01 I am not in the habit of betraying my allies. Nov 20 23:07:46 * Nibelungen nods Nov 20 23:08:32 we are secretive Nov 20 23:09:04 I had noticed... the problem is that makes people like me suspicious Nov 20 23:09:11 It makes me feel like... you don't trust me Nov 20 23:10:11 we do Nov 20 23:10:56 * Morgan shrugs Nov 20 23:11:27 I'll take your word for that... I wanted to know because I am curious, finding things out is in my nature, thats all. Nov 20 23:11:49 That is how you are supposed to be Nov 20 23:13:25 * Morgan nods Nov 20 23:13:47 I'm going to assume your are Syrnith for the time being... Nov 20 23:13:54 yes Nov 20 23:14:53 Why does raw dracheneisen sink? Nov 20 23:15:04 because it is raw Nov 20 23:15:25 So? Worked dracheneisen doesn't... Nov 20 23:15:38 because it is worked Nov 20 23:15:49 * Morgan nods Nov 20 23:16:03 Fair enough. Alright, I've nothing more to ask for now Nov 20 23:16:19 * Nibelungen steps behind the tree and disappears Nov 20 23:17:32 * Morgan grunts, heading out of the trees and back to the house Nov 20 23:18:27 *more staff are moving around. It’s already after eight Nov 20 23:18:42 * Morgan wanders up to his room, humming Nov 20 23:18:58 *his room is empty* Nov 20 23:19:15 [Is it time for breakfast?] Nov 20 23:19:39 [I am just brushing Varick’s hair and we’ll come down] Nov 20 23:19:51 * Morgan moves through to the boys room Nov 20 23:21:16 *Varick pulls away from the brush to run to him, and Emil crawls in that direction. Molly is in her white and blue Montaigne-style dress, her hair all up and styled. She smiles warmly Nov 20 23:21:22 * Nibelungen is now known as Molly Nov 20 23:21:41 V: Vati! I missed you! Nov 20 23:21:50 I missed you too my lad, so very much Nov 20 23:21:58 * Morgan picks him up to hug him Nov 20 23:22:25 *Varick hugs him tight* We can show you the tree and the frogs! Nov 20 23:23:20 * Morgan nods Nov 20 23:23:27 Uinise wants to see frogs and spiders Nov 20 23:23:42 V: I can do that! Nov 20 23:23:47 * Morgan nods Nov 20 23:23:50 I knew you could Nov 20 23:24:03 *Emil tries to pull up to standing with Morgan’s trousers Nov 20 23:24:27 * Morgan crouches down, picking him up in his other arm Nov 20 23:24:31 There's my bosy Nov 20 23:24:45 [two out of three...] Nov 20 23:24:55 [I've had a little visit] Nov 20 23:24:57 E: vah-eee Nov 20 23:25:07 Little lamb Nov 20 23:25:18 [oh, do we need to chat?] Nov 20 23:26:06 [A little bit but nothing major] Nov 20 23:26:19 [after breakfast?] Nov 20 23:27:12 * Morgan nods slightly Nov 20 23:27:33 I have a suspicion I'll have three children in my lap for breakfast Nov 20 23:28:00 * Molly comes over with the brush, finishing Varicks hair. She smells of rose water and more. Nov 20 23:28:08 Florrie has missed you too Nov 20 23:28:13 * Morgan nods Nov 20 23:28:16 Thought she might Nov 20 23:28:29 * Molly looks at their eldest Nov 20 23:28:49 There we are, all ready. Are you ready, my love? Nov 20 23:29:58 * Morgan nods Nov 20 23:30:00 Aye, I am Nov 20 23:30:57 * Molly smiles sweetly Nov 20 23:31:02 shall we go down then? Nov 20 23:31:08 * Morgan nods Nov 20 23:31:10 Aye, lets Nov 20 23:32:26 * Molly heads into their parlour and down to the breakfast room where everyone else has congregated, fewer of them now. HH, Inga, Claudia, Uinise, Alice, and Florrie are already eating Nov 20 23:32:56 HH: I told em to get started, figured you wouldn’t get in between hungry people and food Nov 20 23:35:25 No... Nov 20 23:36:14 * Molly takes Emil so Morgan can sit with Varick beside him Nov 20 23:37:02 HH: $get sorted?$ Nov 20 23:37:25 $Yeah$ Nov 20 23:38:31 *Molly looks very cheerful arranging food on plates for the boys. Florrie comes to Morgan* Nov 20 23:38:40 F: Where been Ballhead? Nov 20 23:39:00 I've been to see my mother and father Nov 20 23:39:21 F: Stay now?

Molly smiles watching this, and then kisses Emil’s face with a smile* Nov 20 23:43:18 alright... lets try this again shall we.... Nov 20 23:43:32 * Morgan holds Florries hands helping her get the jam on the toast Nov 20 23:43:51 *Florrie looks satisfied with this* Nov 20 23:44:25 HH: $your wife looks much happier this morning$ Nov 20 23:44:36 $Thats the effect my being home has$ Nov 20 23:45:05 HH: $got a very good morning then!$ Nov 20 23:45:43 * Morgan eats some toast Nov 20 23:45:54 Whats on the docket for today?

Nov 20 23:49:51 we have our meeting with Reverend Loewe at half after ten. But before that I need to see Frau Arendt, if you would like to have the afternoon together Nov 20 23:50:44 * Morgan nods, fishing in his pocket, pulling it out with a leather thong sticking out the top of his hand Nov 20 23:50:50 I have this for you... Nov 20 23:51:02 * Molly looks Nov 20 23:51:20 * Morgan is holding something in his fist, waiting for her to hold her hand out Nov 20 23:51:37 * Molly does so, looking puzzled Nov 20 23:51:59 * Morgan drops the small silver heart into her palm, a leather thong wrapped through it Nov 20 23:52:12 We can get a chain for it Nov 20 23:52:25 * Molly smiles warmly Nov 20 23:52:35 it’s beautiful my love! Nov 20 23:52:48 I'm glad you like it... Nov 20 23:52:59 * Molly nods, watching him fondly Nov 20 23:53:22 I do, very much [like a little heart beating...] Nov 20 23:53:33 * Morgan nods Nov 20 23:53:57 Its not as good as HeinzHarold could make, of course, but... its been a long while since I've used a forge Nov 20 23:54:10 you made it, for me? Nov 20 23:54:16 * Morgan nods Nov 20 23:54:34 HeinzHarolds Ma gave me guidance and instruction, but I made it Nov 20 23:54:50 * Molly nods, smiling Nov 20 23:54:58 would you put it on me? Nov 20 23:55:17 Florrie, sweetheart, will you hope down a minute? Nov 20 23:55:39 *Florrie takes her toast, going back to Alice Nov 20 23:56:01 * Morgan moves over, taking it and tying it gently about her neck Nov 20 23:56:59 *even with having bathed, he can smell that wonderful intoxicating scent from her hair* Nov 20 23:57:22 It’s lovely Nov 20 23:57:35 * Morgan smiles, moving back to his chair Nov 20 23:57:58 HH: waaaaaait. whose forge did ya use?!

Nov 20 23:59:19 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 20 23:59:28 I think she goes in there to feel close to Da... Nov 20 23:59:50 *HH nods* Yeah, best place to do it
