**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Nov 21 00:00:00 2023 Nov 21 00:00:00 * Morgan nods Nov 21 00:00:22 Didn't occur to me... when I turned up and there's clanging and the smell of the forge, it did rather freak me out to start with Nov 21 00:00:56 HH: sounds like the beginning of a scary story Nov 21 00:01:49 No... the scary part was being in the tavern and Grunhelm just sort of... appearing behind me, rumbling the words 'Not such a little rabbit anymore' Nov 21 00:02:35 *HH shudders, which makes the others laugh* Nov 21 00:04:02 Thats not far off my reaction Nov 21 00:04:54 Alice: I don’t get why two grown men would be scared of a man who I hear is geriatric Nov 21 00:05:19 *HH looks at Morgan* She just called Grunhelm geriatric... Nov 21 00:06:17 Any time we were up to mischief, Grunhelm caught us... worst, of course, being the tavern Nov 21 00:07:37 Uinise: What happened in the tavern? Nov 21 00:08:24 HeinzHarold and I were pushing our luck... we were... how old were we? Nov 21 00:08:40 HH: twelve Nov 21 00:09:43 Not really surprising then... we'd gone in the tavern and I went to great lengths explaining to the barkeep that, being the Veisgraf, I represent the Graf, and as such it was perfectly reasonable for us to request to be served... Nov 21 00:11:09 *Uinise nods p* Nov 21 00:12:13 It was going well, too, until Grunhelm is suddenly behind us, picking us up by our collars and saying... *he does a reasonable impression of Grunhelms timbre* not today little rabbits... and carried us to my father Nov 21 00:13:09 Uinise: Why did he do that? Nov 21 00:13:56 We really weren't acting on my fathers behalf, or anything like that... we were just trying to get ale, and thought we were being clever Nov 21 00:14:25 *Uinise looks to be struggling with this* But you said you were Nov 21 00:14:39 * Morgan nods Nov 21 00:15:36 We were trying to get something we weren't allowed to have, and were being... creative with the truth Nov 21 00:16:00 U: What is the difference between creative and lying? Nov 21 00:16:17 HH: $she’s so blunt, it’s hilarious$ Nov 21 00:17:39 Because... what I said wasn't -technically- untrue... Nov 21 00:17:49 Varick looks up from his plate: Creative is when you bend the truth, and lying is when you break it. Nov 21 00:19:10 *HH ruffles the boy’s hair* Already smart, this one Nov 21 00:19:22 * Morgan nods Nov 21 00:19:29 Gonn' keep me on m'toes Nov 21 00:19:56 * Molly smiles at him a moment before giving Emil more toast Nov 21 00:20:10 U: You bent it but got caught Nov 21 00:20:14 * Morgan nods Nov 21 00:20:20 Thats right Nov 21 00:20:33 U: Did you get spoken to harshly? Nov 21 00:20:43 * Morgan nods Nov 21 00:20:58 Oh yes Nov 21 00:21:24 V: Did you get spanked with a ruler? Nov 21 00:21:40 * Molly blushes slightly, buttering more toast Nov 21 00:22:05 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 21 00:22:14 No... bit big for it by then Nov 21 00:22:41 U: *she looks shocked* You were hit with things? Nov 21 00:23:15 Spanking children as a form of discipline is... unfortunately common Nov 21 00:23:42 U: *she looks very sad* Not at home Nov 21 00:23:52 No... and not in this household. Nov 21 00:24:32 V: When I lived with my old mother who wasn’t my real mother, she would make my governess hit me with a ruler Nov 21 00:25:20 $Takes a bit of following$ Nov 21 00:25:52 U: no one should hit children Nov 21 00:27:45 * Morgan smiles slightly Nov 21 00:29:07 *Varick agrees. Molly still doesn’t seem to have eaten anything* Nov 21 00:29:18 Are you not hungry love? Nov 21 00:29:49 not very, no Nov 21 00:30:13 [Are you alright?] Nov 21 00:30:16 [I’m too excited to be hungry] Nov 21 00:30:45 I need to do a little work in my office today... Nov 21 00:32:14 shall I join you? Nov 21 00:32:35 If you like love, but its not vey exciting... just a few touches to make it mine Nov 21 00:32:41 I: I can have the boys Nov 21 00:33:15 [now that does sound fun] Shall we do that before Reverend Loewe comes? Nov 21 00:33:56 * Morgan nods Nov 21 00:34:00 Aye, alright Nov 21 00:34:36 V, to Inga: Can we go and find wildlife for Uinise? Nov 21 00:35:56 *Inga smiles* If that’s alright with your parents Nov 21 00:36:17 * Morgan nods Nov 21 00:36:24 Thats fine, thank you Inga Nov 21 00:37:15 * Molly nods too Nov 21 00:37:30 it’ll give us chance to do what we need to Nov 21 00:38:00 * Morgan nods, stuffing some toast into his mouth Nov 21 00:40:26 *they finish breakfast, the older children excited about the hunt, Emil only interested in breasts, pulling at her top* Nov 21 00:40:53 HH: $thats what I’m gonna be like when they come home again $ Nov 21 00:41:07 $That surprises me not one bit$ Nov 21 00:42:23 HH: $as if you’ll be any better!$ Nov 21 00:42:34 $never said I would be$ Nov 21 00:43:13 * Molly starts to nurse the baby whilst the others finish up. She looks daydreams, happy Nov 21 00:44:34 $she doesn’t look very upset that they’re going!$ Nov 21 00:44:55 $No, she doesn't does she$ Nov 21 01:29:20 * Molly has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Nov 21 01:46:10 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 21 07:31:59 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Nov 21 09:04:24 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Nov 21 09:06:17 HH: $thats what I’m gonna be like when they come home again $ Nov 21 09:06:17 $That surprises me not one bit$ Nov 21 09:06:17 HH: $as if you’ll be any better!$ Nov 21 09:06:17 $never said I would be$ Nov 21 09:06:17 * Molly starts to nurse the baby whilst the others finish up.

Nov 21 09:11:40 * Molly looks briefly sad before smiling Nov 21 09:12:01 I’m looking forward to seeing Mina and to going shopping Nov 21 09:12:50 I: I can’t wait to see all the beautiful dresses you might buy! Nov 21 09:13:36 * Molly nods a little, looking down at the nursing baby “there’ll be lots to look at Nov 21 09:14:02 $You're letting her buy some dresses too, right?$ Nov 21 09:14:58 $of course, gonna need dresses that can grow with her until December$ Nov 21 09:15:15 * Morgan nods a little, smiling Nov 21 09:15:43 I dropped off the furniture with Sascha and Otto... suffice to say it went down well Nov 21 09:16:51 * Molly smiles Nov 21 09:17:00 is she very big now? Nov 21 09:17:07 enormous Nov 21 09:17:37 * Molly smiles Nov 21 09:17:45 poor Sascha Nov 21 09:17:56 * Morgan nods Nov 21 09:18:26 Otto had a little hold of Matthias... it of a refresher to get him back in practice Nov 21 09:19:46 Inga: Is he sweet? Nov 21 09:19:57 * Morgan nods Nov 21 09:20:03 I've always thought so Nov 21 09:20:24 *Inga giggles* The baby! Nov 21 09:21:24 Oh... yeah, I suppose so... not much use at anything though, cant play cards or anything Nov 21 09:21:51 HH: Should be good company for ya Nov 21 09:22:13 Ouch, man Nov 21 09:23:58 *HH chuckles* You know I love you Nov 21 09:24:06 * Morgan nods Nov 21 09:24:09 I know Nov 21 09:24:25 I: is he small? Nov 21 09:24:35 Me nods Nov 21 09:24:37 tiny Nov 21 09:24:50 Can't reach to make a cup of coffee, its quite impractical Nov 21 09:27:11 I: I can’t wait to have a cuddle, I love babies *she and HH exchange a happy little smile* Nov 21 09:27:25 C $yuck. so soppy$ Nov 21 09:28:16 $You're a fine one to talk$ Nov 21 09:29:25 C: $shut up$ Nov 21 09:29:45 *HH doesn’t see it, too busy whispering to Inga* Nov 21 09:30:02 * Morgan sips his coffee Nov 21 09:30:06 * Molly watches the couple before smiling to herself Nov 21 09:30:47 V: We’re ready now! Nov 21 09:32:28 *Claudia, Uinise, Alice, and the children all get ready. Molly takes Emil from her breast, and Inga takes over with him. Kisses and reminders to listen to the grownups are given, and soon it’s just him and Molly whilst the servants pick up* Nov 21 09:35:20 * Molly pours more coffee “Shall we remove to your office?” Nov 21 09:35:36 * Morgan nods Nov 21 09:35:51 Aye. Got a few things I want to get done in there Nov 21 09:37:57 * Molly goes on through Nov 21 09:38:32 * Morgan follows her through Nov 21 09:38:36 it’s definitely in need of new furniture, this desk is not as nice as your blue one Nov 21 09:38:44 * Morgan nods Nov 21 09:38:51 Mother is arranging for that to be shipped Nov 21 09:39:03 * Molly smiles Nov 21 09:39:07 good Nov 21 09:40:00 * Morgan looks around for some shelves Nov 21 09:40:21 * Molly looks around too. There aren’t any Nov 21 09:40:37 ok... small book case too Nov 21 09:40:44 * Molly nods Nov 21 09:40:58 Need somewhere for my teacups Nov 21 09:41:22 I’ll ask Frau Arendt, there may be one in the store room. *she smiles* your collection, hmm? Nov 21 09:41:33 * Morgan nods Nov 21 09:41:47 Sword goes on the wall... -there-... Nov 21 09:42:10 * Molly nods, smiling Nov 21 09:42:23 it’s time to let it rest now? Nov 21 09:43:01 * Morgan nods Nov 21 09:43:38 I think so, yes... I've got my falchion.... And the other sword for things the falchion might not be suitable for Nov 21 09:45:43 * Molly nods, smiling Nov 21 09:46:13 I’m sure it won’t be long before you have everything just as you want it Nov 21 09:46:36 * Morgan nods Nov 21 09:47:08 perhaps. I think... I'm going to hang the zweihander too... but not as a permanent thing.. Nov 21 09:49:31 * Molly nods Nov 21 09:49:48 it might be practical, and it’ll keep it out of reach of the children Nov 21 09:50:10 * Morgan nods Nov 21 09:50:29 Aye... and, much as I'm loathe to use it as such, it hints at our status here Nov 21 09:51:45 * Molly comes to him, an arm around his waist Nov 21 09:52:04 it is an indicator of our responsibility to others, that’s all Nov 21 09:52:51 * Morgan nods Nov 21 09:52:58 Yes, it is Nov 21 09:56:04 * Molly leans her head against him Nov 21 09:56:10 how are you, my love? Nov 21 09:56:35 I'm good. How are you? Nov 21 09:56:58 happy, excited, shocked Nov 21 09:57:15 * Morgan nods Nov 21 09:59:27 I’m not even sure what to do with myself! Nov 21 09:59:45 * Morgan nods Nov 21 09:59:54 Feeling better about the dresses not fitting now? Nov 21 10:01:53 * Molly nods Nov 21 10:02:23 I’m going to need to keep that in mind when I shop Nov 21 10:02:29 * Morgan nods Nov 21 10:02:33 Without giving it away... Nov 21 10:03:36 * Molly nods Nov 21 10:03:46 that will be quite the challenge Nov 21 10:04:02 I must confess I'm not entirely pleased about that Nov 21 10:04:11 why, my love? Nov 21 10:04:49 They told us long before most would... I'm not comfortable that you think they only told us because they wanted your help. You are wrong in that. Nov 21 10:05:57 * Molly nods Nov 21 10:06:07 there is an additional complication... Nov 21 10:06:29 That being? Nov 21 10:07:35 given Mina’s upset, won’t she be hurt by both me and Inga being pregnant already? Nov 21 10:08:01 * Morgan nods, sighing Nov 21 10:08:19 Yes, I imagine so... and telling her what we know would probably anger Edward Nov 21 10:08:43 * Molly nods Nov 21 10:08:49 indeed Nov 21 10:09:15 if Inga knows, she has to keep her own secret and ours Nov 21 10:09:33 * Morgan nods, looking unhappy about it Nov 21 10:12:31 * Molly smiles Nov 21 10:12:52 you are so keen to share the happy news Nov 21 10:13:17 * Morgan nods Nov 21 10:13:19 I really am, yes Nov 21 10:14:02 * Molly goes on tiptoes to gently kiss him Nov 21 10:15:26 just with the two of them and Claudia, or do you wish to shout it from the rooftops? Nov 21 10:16:18 Just them... I want to tell Edward but I don't want to hurt him. I expect there will be some displeasure whatever way we go with them Nov 21 10:24:03 I agree Nov 21 10:24:38 * Morgan nods Nov 21 10:24:55 * Molly looks up at him Nov 21 10:25:13 Do you think it’s better to tell them? Nov 21 10:25:51 I don't know... I think we should think about it... on the plus side, I could find out Edwards wishes and let you know Nov 21 10:26:10 that’s a good idea Nov 21 10:26:21 * Morgan nods Nov 21 10:27:01 I suppose if Inga is already keeping one pregnancy secret, keeping another shouldn’t be too bad... Nov 21 10:28:18 probably Nov 21 10:29:54 * Molly giggles “Oh my goodness! it’s so surreal!” Nov 21 10:31:31 * Morgan nods Nov 21 10:31:33 It certainly is Nov 21 10:33:09 * Molly puts a hand on her stomach, smiling “There’s a baby in here” Nov 21 10:33:21 * Morgan nods, putting his hand over hers Nov 21 10:35:09 * Molly watches him so fondly Nov 21 10:35:34 I am so happy Nov 21 10:35:45 * Morgan nods Nov 21 10:35:47 As am I Nov 21 10:36:11 Our parents are going to think I lied to them... Nov 21 10:36:15 * Molly moves her hand from under his and lays it on top so his is against her body Nov 21 10:36:52 Our parents can be subjected to all the gory details of -why- we didn’t know, if they wish to be difficult Nov 21 10:37:09 * Morgan nods Nov 21 10:37:42 I'm more concerned my father will think I was lying to him when I was being honest with him about difficult subjects... Nov 21 10:39:17 My love, you are borrowing trouble. We will just be truthful that we had no clue until this morning, and that we would have no reason to lie about something so wonderful Nov 21 10:39:34 * Morgan nods Nov 21 10:41:10 * Molly kisses him, their hands still between them. The magic used to conceal the child must be strong, because now he knows he can definitely smell it noticeably this close Nov 21 10:41:52 * Morgan makes a noise of contentment Nov 21 10:43:54 I suppose... we should discuss my diminutive visitor this morning Nov 21 10:44:38 As opposed to our diminutive visitor who came in December? Nov 21 10:44:44 Quite so Nov 21 10:44:55 Though he was the subject of much of our conversation Nov 21 10:47:30 oh? *she moves away, sitting on the desk as she has always had a tendency to* Nov 21 10:50:44 * Morgan nods Nov 21 10:51:12 I know what month he will be born... I know he has magic and what it is... Nov 21 10:52:20 * Molly holds out her hand to him Nov 21 10:52:31 * Morgan takes it Nov 21 10:52:45 That’s practical for us to plan when we relocate to Sudlachenburg Nov 21 10:52:54 * Morgan nods Nov 21 10:53:10 My parents would want you there in two months, incidentally Nov 21 10:53:36 that is too soon Nov 21 10:54:01 * Morgan nods Nov 21 10:54:03 I agree Nov 21 10:56:01 * Molly smiles Nov 21 10:56:20 when will your heir come, my love? Nov 21 10:56:25 September Nov 21 10:57:21 * Molly smiles Nov 21 10:57:28 an Autumn baby Nov 21 10:58:37 * Morgan nods Nov 21 10:58:40 Yes indeed Nov 21 11:00:02 we will go to them at the very end of August then? Nov 21 11:00:19 Something like, yes... we can discuss it more Nov 21 11:02:02 * Molly nods, squeezing his hand Nov 21 11:02:07 what else did they say? Nov 21 11:02:41 He can vanish from sight... and, apparently, detection Nov 21 11:03:38 ohhhh Nov 21 11:04:34 * Morgan nods Nov 21 11:04:45 They don't believe you'll keep the ability once he is born... Nov 21 11:05:09 interesting... Nov 21 11:05:14 * Morgan nods Nov 21 11:05:16 I thought so Nov 21 11:05:29 I wonder if that will happen each time? Nov 21 11:05:41 I wouldn't be terribly surprised Nov 21 11:07:34 parenting a child who can disappear at will is going to be complicated! Nov 21 11:07:40 * Morgan nods Nov 21 11:07:45 I would suggest some bells Nov 21 11:07:50 * Molly giggles Nov 21 11:08:21 you have suggested that before with our children, to prevent them interrupting us during times we are intimate Nov 21 11:08:50 * Morgan nods Nov 21 11:11:56 do you have some concerns now that you will hurt the baby? Nov 21 11:12:08 Some, yes Nov 21 11:15:25 you needn’t, he’s well protected. Besides... everything we have done since December we have done whilst I was increasing. Nov 21 11:16:05 * Morgan nods Nov 21 11:16:07 I suppose so Nov 21 11:16:46 including you spanking me in Saarbrucke, and the westfelding... Nov 21 11:17:03 And several times since... Nov 21 11:18:16 * Molly nods Nov 21 11:18:53 I only stopped drinking and using the tobacco frequently because I was nursing... Nov 21 11:19:04 * Morgan nods Nov 21 11:20:03 And I went all that way up in the rigging! Nov 21 11:21:09 * Morgan nods Nov 21 11:21:12 Yes, you did Nov 21 11:23:16 You would not have permitted that if you’d known? Nov 21 11:23:54 No, I'm not sure I would have, much as I treasure you doing so Nov 21 11:24:16 * Molly watches him, smiling Nov 21 11:24:20 you did? Nov 21 11:24:54 * Morgan nods Nov 21 11:25:34 * Molly kisses his knuckles “Goodlier Nov 21 11:25:39 “good” Nov 21 11:26:35 * Morgan smiles a moment Nov 21 11:26:48 They... they cn see some paths again Nov 21 11:28:13 oh... I wonder if there’s a link Nov 21 11:29:30 I don't think so. They were, however, quite surprised... we are not on the path they expected... they didn't expect this little one to be here yet. They've suggested just... living our lives and not worrying about the paths Nov 21 11:30:21 * Molly smiles Nov 21 11:30:36 I think that is the best advice they’ve ever given us! Nov 21 11:30:56 * Morgan nods Nov 21 11:31:03 They offered their congratulations... Nov 21 11:32:27 that’s sweet Nov 21 11:32:53 * Morgan nods Nov 21 11:33:21 He was hiding from the dog... I suppose him barking like that in your face would be disconcerting Nov 21 11:33:32 * Molly nods Nov 21 11:33:43 They don’t know what a softie he is Nov 21 11:34:49 * Morgan nods Nov 21 11:34:54 He is very protective Nov 21 11:36:50 * Molly nods Nov 21 11:37:27 I have been getting to know him whilst you’ve been away. He likes to put his head on my lap Nov 21 11:37:48 * Morgan nods Nov 21 11:37:55 He is quite affectionate Nov 21 11:39:21 * Molly nods Nov 21 11:39:28 have you seen him run yet? Nov 21 11:40:10 * Morgan nods Nov 21 11:40:23 He isn't hobbling anymore Nov 21 11:40:32 * Molly nods, smiling Nov 21 11:40:45 he’s not pained now Nov 21 11:41:02 * Morgan nods, swallowing hard Nov 21 11:41:46 * Molly puts her hand to his cheek Nov 21 11:41:51 it’s alright, my love Nov 21 11:44:52 * Morgan nods, taking a deep breath Nov 21 11:45:10 Have you seen my new sword? Nov 21 11:46:02 No, but I am very much looking forward to seeing your original one soon! *she smiles* Nov 21 11:46:34 * Morgan frowns a moment Nov 21 11:46:53 But... you've seen it, you used it... Nov 21 11:47:15 I have indeed, and within a few months everyone else will see that too! Nov 21 11:47:26 * Morgan blushes Nov 21 11:47:35 Oh! I thought... nevermind Nov 21 11:47:44 * Molly giggles Nov 21 11:47:53 You have such a pure mind, my love Nov 21 11:48:17 Apparently so Nov 21 11:49:11 * Molly smiles Nov 21 11:49:19 show me your new sword Nov 21 11:49:56 * Morgan clears his throat, moving to fetch it from its hiding place Nov 21 11:51:26 * Molly swings her legs a moment, waiting Nov 21 11:51:46 * Morgan comes back to her, holding it up Nov 21 11:53:04 * Molly looks at it “wow! that’s nice!” Nov 21 11:53:21 * Morgan nods Nov 21 11:53:32 HeinzHarold managed to take a chunk of stone out of the wall with it Nov 21 11:55:10 * Molly smiles, holding her hands out “Can I... Nov 21 11:55:38 Its ridiculously sharp... Nov 21 11:55:46 * Molly smiles Nov 21 11:55:48 * Morgan carefully hands the sword to her Nov 21 11:55:57 are you feeling overprotective today? Nov 21 11:56:13 * Molly holds it, testing the weight and balance Nov 21 11:56:14 Yes, but... I'd have warned you anyway, its... stupidly sharp Nov 21 11:56:31 it’s lovely, you are pleased? Nov 21 11:56:48 * Morgan nods Nov 21 11:56:53 I am, yes Nov 21 11:57:12 Need to make a scabbard for one Nov 21 11:58:39 * Molly nods, smiling Nov 21 11:58:54 you’ll have plenty of time on your hands the next few days Nov 21 11:59:29 * Morgan nods Nov 21 11:59:47 I want to give heinzHarold some help... I also don't want to neglect Alice and Florrie Nov 21 12:24:31 * Molly has quit (Ping Timeout) Nov 21 13:00:49 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 21 14:59:10 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Nov 21 14:59:18 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Nov 21 14:59:41 it’s lovely, you are pleased? Nov 21 14:59:41 * Morgan nods Nov 21 14:59:41 I am, yes Nov 21 14:59:41 Need to make a scabbard for one Nov 21 14:59:41 * Molly nods, smiling Nov 21 14:59:44 you’ll have plenty of time on your hands the next few days Nov 21 14:59:46 * Morgan nods Nov 21 14:59:48 I want to give heinzHarold some help... I also don't want to neglect Alice and Florrie Nov 21 15:00:38 take some leisure time, my love, it’s what we’ve worked for Nov 21 15:01:19 I know but... Nov 21 15:02:12 but it’s not in your nature? Nov 21 15:02:20 No, not really Nov 21 15:02:57 you won’t spend too much time worrying I hope Nov 21 15:03:04 I can't promise that Nov 21 15:03:22 I am very safe, my love Nov 21 15:03:46 I know... but you worry for me, regardless of how dangerous I am Nov 21 15:05:24 I do, of course Nov 21 15:06:42 * Morgan nods Nov 21 15:07:55 will my increasing make me being away tough? *she smiles* my increasing... wow! Nov 21 15:08:12 * Morgan laughs Nov 21 15:10:14 It might do Nov 21 15:10:39 not just in the worry, but in wanting me? Nov 21 15:10:56 mhmmm Nov 21 15:11:09 * Molly smiles Nov 21 15:11:52 I made sure I still put perfume on, I didn’t want to disrupt you whilst you’re still adjusting Nov 21 15:12:03 * Morgan nods Nov 21 15:12:11 I can tell Nov 21 15:12:29 the two scents are good together? Nov 21 15:13:26 * Morgan nods Nov 21 15:13:34 Fairly, yes Nov 21 15:13:55 * Molly smiles Nov 21 15:14:15 once you’re adjusted, I may not be quite so accommodating Nov 21 15:14:24 * Morgan nods Nov 21 15:15:30 after all, we’ve missed many months! Nov 21 15:16:06 * Morgan nods Nov 21 15:16:09 God knows how Nov 21 15:16:30 I think maybe he was hiding? Nov 21 15:17:15 Yeahhh. Yeah aybe Nov 21 15:17:47 you are less troubled by my ability to do so now? Nov 21 15:17:56 * Morgan nods Nov 21 15:18:02 Yes, absolutely I am Nov 21 15:18:09 * Molly nods Nov 21 15:18:17 and mildly envious? Nov 21 15:18:48 * Morgan nods Nov 21 15:19:02 Apparently my ability to sort of blend in is just a skill I have developed Nov 21 15:19:09 * Molly nods Nov 21 15:19:15 you are good at it Nov 21 15:19:43 * Morgan nods Nov 21 15:20:11 and apparently very good at getting me pregnant! Nov 21 15:20:40 So it seems Nov 21 15:20:54 * Molly smiles, shaking her head Nov 21 15:21:03 two days without the herbs! Nov 21 15:21:31 * Morgan nods Nov 21 15:21:33 jeez Nov 21 15:22:08 I think it might have beeen the first time we’d made love after I stopped them, we were rather busy! Nov 21 15:22:38 * Morgan nods Nov 21 15:22:53 Yeah, I reckon so Nov 21 15:22:59 * Molly smiles Nov 21 15:23:54 you’d dreamt in a thread where you were about to deflower me on our kitchen table because I was sparkly and you were possessive Nov 21 15:24:07 * Morgan nods Nov 21 15:24:28 * Molly smiles Nov 21 15:24:33 it was spectacular Nov 21 15:24:37 * Morgan nods Nov 21 15:24:39 It was Nov 21 15:24:56 * Molly smiles Nov 21 15:25:13 all this time, he’s been with us, a little stowaway Nov 21 15:25:59 * Morgan nods Nov 21 15:26:03 Cheeky little sod Nov 21 15:26:22 * Molly giggles Nov 21 15:26:46 indeed Nov 21 15:26:59 * Molly looks thoughtful Nov 21 15:27:14 * Morgan watches her Nov 21 15:27:16 What? Nov 21 15:29:15 * Molly shakes her head “just a thought I don’t want to spoil our day with” Nov 21 15:29:34 Come on Nov 21 15:29:41 * Molly sighs Nov 21 15:30:52 just that it would have been a horrible shock for the Sheik when I had a child that was clearly not his Nov 21 15:31:18 Ah, he wouldn't have lived that long anyway Nov 21 15:31:38 * Molly nods Nov 21 15:31:44 I miss my hair Nov 21 15:31:49 * Morgan nods Nov 21 15:32:03 Have you considered... trying to grow it... Nov 21 15:33:19 * Molly nods Nov 21 15:33:49 but hair is not alive tissue, so the impact would be minimal Nov 21 15:34:49 right... ok... Nov 21 15:35:56 I could make it grow a little quicker, but that’s all. I’m sorry Nov 21 15:36:41 Oh, I was suggesting it for your own sake love... you are gorgeous to me, short or long hair Nov 21 15:36:53 * Molly blushes Nov 21 15:36:57 thank you Nov 21 15:38:25 * Morgan nods, taking the sword and putting it under the desk Nov 21 15:38:42 * Molly watches him, smiling Nov 21 15:39:40 do you need to do some banging now? Nov 21 15:40:39 * Morgan chuckles Nov 21 15:40:44 Aye, best had Nov 21 15:41:49 the nails, of course Nov 21 15:42:14 Oh of course Nov 21 15:42:49 you bang them into the wall, not against it Nov 21 15:43:20 Ah, yes... thats the difference Nov 21 15:43:58 indeed. where is the necessary tool? *she smiles, looking to be enjoying this* Nov 21 15:44:55 Shush woman Nov 21 15:45:09 * Molly laughs Nov 21 15:45:10 * Morgan picks up the hammer and nails, kissing her cheek before moving back to the wall Nov 21 15:45:26 * Molly watches him Nov 21 15:47:46 * Morgan sets a nail in place, hammering it before moving to the next Nov 21 15:48:02 So... what are you thinking about telling HeinzHarold and Inga? Nov 21 15:49:53 I am thinking you are desperate to and I want to make you happy Nov 21 15:50:13 But what do -you- want? Nov 21 15:53:14 I can see arguments for both Nov 21 15:54:02 * Morgan nods Nov 21 15:56:08 will you feel more comfortable letting me go if you know Inga is aware of my situation and can keep an eye on me accordingly? Nov 21 15:56:21 I think I might be... Nov 21 15:57:51 * Molly nods Nov 21 15:58:17 And Heinzharold will be more able to understand you missing me so badly if he knows? Nov 21 15:58:24 * Morgan nods Nov 21 15:58:34 He's already said you seem much much happier today... Nov 21 16:01:39 That is mostly because you are home, my love Nov 21 16:03:23 * Morgan nods, stepping back to check the nails are level Nov 21 16:04:19 *they look good * Nov 21 16:04:39 if you would feel better telling them, it’s okay Nov 21 16:04:49 But you don't want to... Nov 21 16:05:18 I am torn, but I do think maybe it is the more sensible choice to Nov 21 16:06:10 You want to keep it a secret for us for a while Nov 21 16:11:14 I think we still should for other people until the quickening Nov 21 16:11:21 * Morgan nods Nov 21 16:11:22 ahe Nov 21 16:11:24 aye Nov 21 16:12:49 but if you want to tell them, we will Nov 21 16:14:24 * Morgan nods, drawing his straight sword and hanging it by the hand guards, point down Nov 21 16:14:36 * Molly smiles Nov 21 16:14:41 that looks good Nov 21 16:14:59 * Morgan nods, taking it down and sheathing it again Nov 21 16:15:28 Yep. So... book case for now, new chair, desk from Sudlachenburg Nov 21 16:16:45 * Molly nods Nov 21 16:16:58 You have a very nice desk ornament already? Nov 21 16:18:05 * Morgan nods Nov 21 16:18:08 I do Nov 21 16:18:23 * Molly smiles playfully Nov 21 16:18:34 it’s only going to get bigger and bigger Nov 21 16:19:03 * Morgan nods Nov 21 16:19:08 Good good Nov 21 16:20:34 * Molly rubs her belly slowly “That will suit you” Nov 21 16:21:36 * Morgan nods Nov 21 16:21:38 Yes, it will Nov 21 16:23:54 * Molly nods “I’ll have to sit here and look pretty and pregnant all summer, hmm?” Nov 21 16:24:02 * Morgan nods Nov 21 16:24:06 Yes indeed you will Nov 21 16:24:26 you’ll be a bit too busy to talk to me? Nov 21 16:26:34 Will I? Nov 21 16:26:51 mmhmm, spelling out the alphabet... Nov 21 16:28:14 * Morgan nods Nov 21 16:28:19 Oh yes Nov 21 16:28:32 * Molly smiles, watching him Nov 21 16:28:46 I think it would be a -very- good idea... Nov 21 16:29:04 * Morgan nods Nov 21 16:29:09 agreed Nov 21 16:29:52 ... if I go to see if Frau Arendt is free shortly *she grins* Nov 21 16:30:10 If you'd like... Nov 21 16:30:27 Why, my love, is there something you’d rather I do? Nov 21 16:30:59 There is, rather, but I'm not sure that desk is up to it Nov 21 16:31:08 * Molly smiles Nov 21 16:32:02 If your desk is already being sent, it should be here tomorrow. If this doesn’t survive, we’re only helping to break it down for firewood... Nov 21 16:32:41 I'm more concerned about it collapsing under our... efforts... Nov 21 16:33:32 * Molly nods “there’s always the table next door, or the chaise in the Main morning room...” Nov 21 16:35:44 * Morgan nods Nov 21 16:35:53 yes... lets go to the main morning room shall we... Nov 21 16:36:41 * Molly nods, taking his hand “it’s already affecting you?” Nov 21 16:38:25 Tough to say if its that or several days of dreaming about you... Nov 21 16:39:54 * Molly nods, leading through to the other room “I am not complaining at all, I am ready for it to be your hands and not my own!” Nov 21 16:40:42 * Morgan nods, locking his office and following her Nov 21 16:44:10 * Molly gets as far as locking the connecting door and also the main door before virtually throwing herself at him, kissing him passionately. The window that looks out east and that the builders will pass by is still uncovered Nov 21 16:44:56 * Morgan pulls away Nov 21 16:44:59 curtains... Nov 21 16:47:45 mmm... *she goes to do them before coming back* Nov 21 16:48:02 * Morgan kisses her hard Nov 21 16:49:06 it... is... urgent? *she kisses his neck, which makes the scent from hers more noticeable* Nov 21 16:49:47 * Morgan nods, biting her neck Nov 21 16:51:42 * Molly moans at this, moving backwards towards the chaise as she holds onto his shirt Nov 21 16:51:54 quickly then, and maybe longer next time? Nov 21 16:52:58 * Morgan nods Nov 21 16:55:46 * Molly kneels on the chaise, facing away, hurriedly pulling up her skirts “This will suit?” Nov 21 16:56:49 * Morgan nods, undoing his placket and moving behind her Nov 21 16:57:32 * Molly smiles at him over her shoulder “I definitely need this so much!” Nov 21 16:57:55 * Morgan nods, pressing himself into her, moaning deeply Nov 21 16:59:36 * Molly pushes back on him, grinding deeply, gasping at the feel. They move in sync, and she’s already close with him not far behind when there’s a knock at the door* Nov 21 17:00:24 fuck Nov 21 17:01:26 * Molly sighs, but still rolls her hips to slide up and down him Nov 21 17:01:39 *she calls* who is it? Nov 21 17:02:20 FA: It’s Frau Arendt, my Lady. There’s been a mix up with Reverend Loewe Nov 21 17:03:39 * Morgan grumbles quietly, slowing to a stop Nov 21 17:03:49 * Molly whispers “It’s okay, I can handle this, take what you need” Nov 21 17:04:07 * Morgan hesitates a moment before picking up his pace again Nov 21 17:04:18 What is the problem, Arendt? Does he need to... reschedule? Nov 21 17:04:55 * Molly glances over her shoulder, smiling as she tenses her muscles around him Nov 21 17:05:26 FA: He’s come an hour early, he thought he’d said half after -nine-, not ten Nov 21 17:07:39 * Morgan picks up his pace, getting close Nov 21 17:08:04 Could you see he has coffee, and we will be with him in ten minutes please. Nov 21 17:08:32 * Molly whispers “Yes, that’s it, fuck that’s good!” Nov 21 17:08:59 FA: Yes my Lady. *there are footsteps heading away from the door* Nov 21 17:10:48 Shit thats close Nov 21 17:13:28 Good, don’t stop! *She peaks with him when he does, head thrown back as she moans quietly* Nov 21 17:13:50 * Morgan lets out a quiet moan, spilling himself within her Nov 21 17:15:34 * Molly continues to move against him until she’s sure he’s done. She starts to giggle, an odd fluttery sensation around h8m Nov 21 17:15:38 oh my god! Nov 21 17:16:04 What... the hell is that... Nov 21 17:16:50 What? Nov 21 17:16:56 * Morgan withdraws gently Nov 21 17:17:27 we nearly got caught by a -Priest- on the first time we have intercourse knowing i am with child! Nov 21 17:19:21 * Morgan nods, doing up his placket Nov 21 17:19:33 Come on, we need to get sorted to see him Nov 21 17:20:43 * Molly nods, taking a cream cloth from her pocket to clean up between her legs with Nov 21 17:20:54 That was a close one! Nov 21 17:20:59 * Morgan nods Nov 21 17:21:02 Very much so Nov 21 17:22:15 * Molly puts it away, then stands to smooth her skirts Nov 21 17:22:36 I didn’t want to leave you frustrated and wanting all morning Nov 21 17:23:01 * Morgan nods Nov 21 17:23:04 I appreciate that my love Nov 21 17:23:24 This is the priest that Teresa Maubourg has married? Nov 21 17:26:02 * Molly smiles “I will endeavour to help you whenever you need to spend, my love, it’ll be my pleasure. Yes, She is Teresa Loewe now” Nov 21 17:26:24 * Morgan nods Nov 21 17:26:30 I need some paper and some wax Nov 21 17:30:23 * Molly smiles, getting him some from the writing desk Nov 21 17:30:40 Should we go to your office? Nov 21 17:30:45 * Morgan nods Nov 21 17:30:48 It'll do I suppose Nov 21 17:34:03 * Morgan writes a note, using the wax to seal it Nov 21 17:34:26 Unless you wish to entertain a man of the church in plain sight of the chaise you just had me on? Nov 21 17:34:38 Tempting, but no Nov 21 17:34:58 * Molly smiles, kissing his cheek Nov 21 17:35:08 I really did need that Nov 21 17:35:45 * Morgan nods Nov 21 17:35:50 Me too... ready? Nov 21 17:39:46 * Molly nods, going with him to his office and ringing the bell Nov 21 17:44:42 *They have a few minutes to get settled before the Reverend is announced. He’s about Morgan’s height, mid thirties, blonde but quite plain. In his robes, he looks neat and unassuming. He bows deeply to them “Your Excellencies, a thousand apologies for my earlyness” Nov 21 17:45:22 * Morgan stands up to shake his hand Nov 21 17:47:08 *Rev Loewe looks surprised by it, shaking his hand* Nov 21 17:47:15 * Molly is now known as RevLoewe Nov 21 17:48:36 Don't fret at it, reverend, it happens. Have a seat... tea, coffee? Nov 21 17:50:00 Coffee please, your Excellency Nov 21 17:50:35 * Morgan nods, ringing the bell and arranging for coffee for them Nov 21 17:50:38 * RevLoewe waits for Molly to sit before he does Nov 21 17:50:42 How do you prefer to be addressed? Nov 21 17:53:18 Reverend is fine, your Excellency Nov 21 17:53:30 * Morgan nods, settling into his chair Nov 21 17:53:41 I understand congratulations are in order... Nov 21 17:55:03 * RevLoewe smiles Nov 21 17:55:12 Thank you, your Excellency Nov 21 17:56:45 * Morgan nods Nov 21 17:56:54 I have a message for your wife, if you wouldn't mind delivering it... Nov 21 17:57:52 of course, your Excellency Nov 21 17:58:35 * Morgan nods, handing him the note Nov 21 18:00:15 * RevLoewe takes it, holding it on his lap. the coffee arrives and gets distributed Nov 21 18:01:38 Our congratulations to you also, your Excellency Nov 21 18:02:04 For... Nov 21 18:02:08 *Molly glances at Morgan* Nov 21 18:02:28 For acquiring this fine property Nov 21 18:02:43 * Morgan nods Nov 21 18:02:57 Thank you... I think we will be very happy here Nov 21 18:08:47 * RevLoewe smiles Nov 21 18:08:59 A happy home is a gift from God Nov 21 18:11:03 * Morgan nods, glancing toward the window Nov 21 18:12:47 *a few workmen walk by* Nov 21 18:14:21 Down to business, hmm? Nov 21 18:16:31 yes, your Excellency Nov 21 18:29:28 *he sips his coffee, little finger sticking out, but still slurping it slightly. Molly gives Morgan a sidelong look, lips quirking with amusement* Nov 21 18:30:20 * Morgan smiles slightly Nov 21 18:31:31 Now then... what do we need to cover? Nov 21 18:33:41 Firstly, the parishioners noted that your Excellencies had moved in on Tuesday, but they did not see you at church. They asked me to extend a hand in the spirit of friendship and welcome to you, our fellow Objectionists Nov 21 18:34:06 * Morgan nods Nov 21 18:34:44 I had to travel to Sudlachenburg and was there for service... I felt it was more appropriate to wait until I could attend here for any of us to attend. I'm sure you understand Nov 21 18:36:50 * RevLoewe smiles, inclining his head. Of course. When might we expect your Excellencies to join us? Nov 21 18:37:27 My wife is away to Freiburg this week, but, all being well, I will be in attendance Nov 21 18:38:46 * RevLoewe nods “I will ensure your bench is ready. Will your children be in attendance also, your Excellency? Nov 21 18:39:19 My oldest son will be, yes Nov 21 18:39:47 * RevLoewe nods, smiling Nov 21 18:40:35 Is he ready for his baptism, or would he benefit from a visit to the church to prepare for it? Nov 21 18:41:00 I believe he's ready, but a visit wouldn't hurt I think Nov 21 18:43:14 * RevLoewe nods “I will put myself at your disposal, your Excellency” Nov 21 18:43:28 * Morgan nods Nov 21 18:43:43 I appreciate that Nov 21 18:48:00 If it is possible, I would be grateful if I could have a guest list for the service so that I can arrange seating Nov 21 18:48:56 Reverend... are you nervous about performing a service for the people we have invited? Nov 21 18:50:22 A little, of course, your Excellency, but I believe I am more than capable of doing it well Nov 21 18:50:31 * Morgan smiles Nov 21 18:51:15 I am sure you are. *he looks to Molly* do we have a guest list already? Nov 21 18:53:08 M: I am waiting upon the final few confirmations, but I can get a preliminary list to you tomorrow Nov 21 18:53:16 * RevLoewe smiles “thank you” Nov 21 18:55:29 What else needs to be covered? Nov 21 18:57:54 I note that there is no birth date for your younger son Nov 21 19:00:29 * Morgan nods Nov 21 19:00:34 It is difficult to pin down Nov 21 19:01:35 M: His birth mother knew it was in May, but not the precise date Nov 21 19:03:47 * RevLoewe nods “There should be a date for the baptism” Nov 21 19:04:16 Middle of the month then? Nov 21 19:06:31 *Molly nods* I am happy with that. Fifteenth or Sixteenth? Nov 21 19:07:34 Fifteenth Nov 21 19:08:41 *Molly smiles* May Fifteenth then, Reverend Nov 21 19:08:59 [I wonder what we were doing the day he was born] Nov 21 19:12:21 [I don't know love] Nov 21 19:13:44 * RevLoewe nods “I will see it is added, your Excellencies” Nov 21 19:14:41 * Morgan nods Nov 21 19:14:53 [I think it might have been the day we arrive at Die Dauerhaftigkeit, or very near it] Nov 21 19:16:16 [you could well be correct] Nov 21 19:17:31 Do you have godparents for both children? Nov 21 19:18:38 [Are we sticking to what we discussed?] Nov 21 19:19:49 [I think so?] Nov 21 19:21:01 [Edward, HeinzHarold and Inga for Emil, HeinzHarold, Edward and Mina for Varick?] Nov 21 19:22:26 [yes] Nov 21 19:22:35 * Morgan nods Nov 21 19:22:40 Yes, we do... Nov 21 19:22:54 * RevLoewe nods Nov 21 19:23:12 They are all baptised Objectionists themselves? Nov 21 19:24:17 * Morgan nods Nov 21 19:24:21 They are, yes Nov 21 19:25:59 * RevLoewe nods “two men and one woman for each, your Excellency?” Nov 21 19:26:19 * Morgan nods Nov 21 19:26:22 Yes, thats right Nov 21 19:27:55 * RevLoewe nods, again sipping the coffee in the odd way Nov 21 19:29:59 For Varick it'll be HeinzHarold Lehenstrue, Edward and Mina Koertig... for Emil, the same men but HeinzHarolds wife Inga Nov 21 19:30:59 * RevLoewe nods “Very good, your Excellency. Are there any hymns you would like?” Nov 21 19:31:10 *Molly sips her coffee* Nov 21 19:31:19 What do you think, love? Nov 21 19:31:55 M: *She suggests one he’s vaguely familiar with but doesn’t mind* Nov 21 19:32:39 [would you like Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind, so it is in common with Jana’s?] Nov 21 19:32:58 [Yes, I would] Nov 21 19:33:29 *Molly relays this, and the priest nods* Nov 21 19:33:47 Those are good choices, your Excellency Nov 21 19:36:03 * Morgan sips his coffee, watching the reverend Nov 21 19:37:12 * RevLoewe smiles, drinking some more Nov 21 19:37:27 Will you be regular attendees at church, your Excellency? Nov 21 19:37:45 That is the plan, yes... we will not be having a private chapel Nov 21 19:38:16 * RevLoewe smiles Nov 21 19:38:34 I am happy to hear that, your Excellency Nov 21 19:39:20 Is that eveyrthingyou needful the baptisms? Nov 21 19:40:38 It s, yes Nov 21 19:40:47 * Morgan nods Nov 21 19:41:05 So lets talk about Gottkirchen and its changing to an objectionist Grafdom... Nov 21 19:42:39 * RevLoewe looks a bit caught off guard by this Nov 21 19:42:58 [I almost feel sorry for him!] Nov 21 19:43:29 [You think that was cruel?] Nov 21 19:45:20 [no, my love] Nov 21 19:45:29 yes, your Excellency Nov 21 19:46:01 What do you envision the future being in that regard? Nov 21 19:48:01 I am not sure, your Excellency Nov 21 19:48:17 What would you like to see? Nov 21 19:50:25 More people to convert from choice, but a peaceful transition regardless Nov 21 19:50:48 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Nov 21 19:52:23 what are your intentions, your Excellency Nov 21 19:52:44 alright... I will be pushing for equity of support, so the objectionists in our populace are as supported in the future as the Vaticine here are... likewise, I have no intention of reversing the situation. Nov 21 19:53:32 * RevLoewe nods Nov 21 19:54:00 Are those changes to come before Graf Maubourg passes? Nov 21 19:56:24 Its something we will be working on together in the meantime. I would hope he does not pass any time soon, but either way, the Grafdom passes to me within the next three years. Nov 21 19:57:22 * RevLoewe nods Nov 21 19:57:53 I also hope he does not, for the sake of my wife Nov 21 19:58:07 * Morgan nods Nov 21 20:00:37 I am going to be working to assure the Vaticine of our people that the stories you hear when a Grafdom changes will not happen here... I have already started putting word out that any... reprisals by the objectionist will not be tolerated under any circumstances. I would hope that I can rely on you to help me stay in touch with the feeling of the objectionists under -our- care... Nov 21 20:01:09 * RevLoewe nods Nov 21 20:01:38 Yes you can, your Excellency. I take my duties to see to my flock very seriously Nov 21 20:02:21 * Morgan nods Nov 21 20:02:41 Your wife must be pained by the distance to her father... Nov 21 20:03:16 * RevLoewe nods Nov 21 20:03:40 She is, but she is also happy at the vicarage and helping the congregation Nov 21 20:07:17 I'm sure she is. I spoke with the Graf about it.. I am prepared to act as... a bridge, if you will, between them. Nov 21 20:10:16 * RevLoewe nods Nov 21 20:11:54 I am afraid to say that our marriage has not been met with approval from him, and though I wish it had been smoother, I am glad Teresa has converted and become my wife. I see much more contentment and peace in her than in her old life, your Excellency Nov 21 20:12:40 * Morgan nods Nov 21 20:14:27 I know he does not approve... but I also know the pain of not having a daughter in your life anymore, and I believe he will, eventually, take the opportunity work toward fixing their relationship Nov 21 20:17:51 * RevLoewe nods Nov 21 20:18:09 I hope he will pray on it and receive the wisdom of Our Lord Nov 21 20:18:22 * Morgan smiles a little Nov 21 20:18:30 We'll see I suppose Nov 21 20:21:41 * RevLoewe nods, slurping the last of the coffee Nov 21 20:22:03 I will look forward to seeing you on Sunday, your Excellency Nov 21 20:22:13 Likewise, reverend Nov 21 20:25:32 *Molly stands* Thank you for coming, Reverend Loewe. I will bring the list to the vicarage tomorrow myself on my way to Freiburg. Nov 21 20:25:47 * RevLoewe stands, bowing to each of them Nov 21 20:26:04 * Morgan stands up, offering his hand again Nov 21 20:29:04 * RevLoewe shakes it Nov 21 20:29:42 A good morning to you, your Excellencies Nov 21 20:30:47 And to you, reverend, thank you for your time Nov 21 20:33:16 * RevLoewe nods, going off happily with a footman when he’s out in the hall Nov 21 20:33:21 * RevLoewe is now known as Molly Nov 21 20:33:34 * Molly watches Morgan with a smile Nov 21 20:33:46 What? Nov 21 20:36:38 * Molly smiles Nov 21 20:36:42 he seems nice Nov 21 20:37:00 * Morgan nods Nov 21 20:37:05 Yes... he does Nov 21 20:38:39 * Molly comes to embrace him Nov 21 20:39:40 I need to go to see Frau Arendt. I will remember to ask about a bookcase for your collection Nov 21 20:42:45 * Morgan nods Nov 21 20:42:47 Thank you love Nov 21 20:44:49 * Molly smiles Nov 21 20:45:06 you can manage without me a couple of hours? Nov 21 20:45:34 ummm...probably. I'll make a start on a scabbard perhaps Nov 21 20:47:06 The building work might start again shortly also Nov 21 20:47:26 * Morgan nods Nov 21 20:47:41 I think I'll put a little time into a scabbard, then go help HeinzHarold Nov 21 20:48:11 * Molly nods Nov 21 20:48:37 I’ll see you at lunch then Nov 21 20:49:30 * Morgan nods Nov 21 20:49:34 Alright love Nov 21 20:51:30 * Molly kisses him softly before moving away “I’ll be thinking of you” Nov 21 20:52:19 Likewise blossom Nov 21 20:55:00 Oh I very much hope so! *she blows him a kiss before slipping out of the room* Nov 21 20:55:42 * Morgan leaves the room a couple of minutes later, locking it and slipping outside through the side door, going to look for a fallen tree branch Nov 21 21:00:06 *He can see the workmen getting started, HH with them. He’ll either need to pass them or go around the other side of the house towards the trees Nov 21 21:00:50 * Morgan heads towards them Nov 21 21:19:02 * Molly is now known as HH Nov 21 21:19:05 hey man Nov 21 21:20:07 Hey Nov 21 21:20:27 coming to work?

Already said we'd respect that Nov 21 21:42:59 be a nice surprise Nov 21 21:43:08 * Morgan nods Nov 21 21:43:18 I don't think thats a choice I'll have with any of mine Nov 21 21:43:28 no? Nov 21 21:44:03 No... Molly won't be able to not know, and I won't have her feeling she can't tell me... it just means I'll have that excitement earlier Nov 21 21:44:39 * HH nods Nov 21 21:45:05 feeling more broody from seeing Jarvie’s babe?

Nov 21 21:48:58 that’s good, won’t have too big a gap then Nov 21 21:49:50 except... the dreams wrong... I mean, yours, yeah, should be right, and according to Madchen and the Nieblungen, Mina should be well on her way by then... Nov 21 21:50:44 * HH nods Nov 21 21:50:58 mebbie because you warned me I’d get swindled? Nov 21 21:51:10 * Morgan shrugs Nov 21 21:51:37 You still made the pendant the same, with the same reasoning... just avoided an unnecessary step Nov 21 21:51:44 * HH opens the door to get inside the house Nov 21 21:52:08 yeah. bit confusing Nov 21 21:52:19 * Morgan nods Nov 21 21:52:39 [you sure I can tell him?] Nov 21 21:53:13 [yes, my love, if it will make you happy] Nov 21 21:53:33 But... yeah, with you lot I think it'll be right...

Its... its fine. Nov 21 21:57:32 * HH nods, letting him go but putting a hand to the back of his neck like Da did “You’ll get there, kid. Sometimes just takes a while” Nov 21 21:58:01 * Morgan hugs him, speaking quietly Nov 21 21:58:10 Wouldn't want her getting knocked up so quick again anyway Nov 21 21:58:28 eh? Nov 21 21:58:42 * Morgan lets him go, walking slowly Nov 21 22:00:15 shit. Did you lose one?! Nov 21 22:00:24 No man Nov 21 22:00:42 whatcha mean ‘again’ then? Nov 21 22:01:16 Have you noticed she's eating less but still isn't fitting into her dresses... if anything they're fitting less... Nov 21 22:01:56 No...? Nov 21 22:02:08 * Morgan nods Nov 21 22:03:00 wait... how many times have you swived her since you got home? Nov 21 22:03:19 From Sudlachenburg? Nov 21 22:03:24 yep Nov 21 22:03:41 Once... just before the reverend arrived Nov 21 22:03:49 * HH frowns Nov 21 22:04:11 I don’t get it then, Sounded like you were hinting she might be increasing... Nov 21 22:05:13 I suppose it did a bit Nov 21 22:05:32 * HH still looks to be puzzling Nov 21 22:07:09 * Morgan looks around Nov 21 22:07:23 *The corridor looks empty Nov 21 22:09:09 * Morgan looks at him, waiting Nov 21 22:09:36 * HH looks at him Nov 21 22:09:48 Nooooooo....! Nov 21 22:09:53 * Morgan shushes him Nov 21 22:10:53 -noone- knows... and it needs to stay almost completely that way Nov 21 22:11:00 Are you shitting me?! Nov 21 22:11:08 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 21 22:12:09 * HH looks elated for him, grabbing his head and kissing his forehead before whispering “fucking yes! well done!” Nov 21 22:12:20 * Morgan grins, hugging him hard Nov 21 22:12:41 Awww man! Nov 21 22:13:14 * Morgan lets him go Nov 21 22:13:32 * HH is grinning Nov 21 22:13:38 Y’ kept that quiet! Nov 21 22:14:02 Ah... yeah... Nov 21 22:15:21 See...

Nov 21 22:24:22 you never lie though Nov 21 22:24:39 Nope. Unless its funny... or tactical... that was neither Nov 21 22:24:52 what the hell? Nov 21 22:25:39 Go on... ask me how long I've known... Nov 21 22:26:17 how long have you known? Nov 21 22:26:30 * Morgan glances at a clock, counting on his fingers Nov 21 22:26:40 About.. seven hours Nov 21 22:28:00 * HH laughs Nov 21 22:28:02 how?! Nov 21 22:28:56 * Morgan shrugs Nov 21 22:29:31 Little bugger already has magic and can hide... and Molly thought the lack of a proper course was down to the herbs not being out of her system... Nov 21 22:29:49 huh... Nov 21 22:32:52 * HH looks to him Nov 21 22:32:58 how you feeling, man? Nov 21 22:33:12 uhhh... stunned?

Nov 21 22:37:36 She thought she was just gaining weight... and that it was the herbs, right... I've been dreaming a lot of her being, y'know, lately, and this... this dream about a red stag... last night, I caught up with it, and Madchen was there... told me to sshhh, magic listen feel... Nov 21 22:38:25 * HH nods, trying to keep up Nov 21 22:38:28 right? Nov 21 22:39:28 So... when I woke up, I was laying behind her, a hand on her tummy... felt... firmer... so, I had a feel *he wiggles his fingers* and there was something there, a warm spot that isn't normally in people... I could sense it -move- man Nov 21 22:39:52 * HH grins Nov 21 22:39:58 whoa! Nov 21 22:44:01 * Morgan nods Nov 21 22:44:09 Yeah.... yeah. Nov 21 22:44:20 you felt yer baby...

Nov 21 22:45:43 * Morgan nods Nov 21 22:45:48 Nearly halfway there... Nov 21 22:46:05 fucking hell, man Nov 21 22:46:49 * Morgan nods Nov 21 22:47:01 Yeah... so... I'm sorry I didn't tell you but I really did have a good excuse Nov 21 22:47:07 * HH nods Nov 21 22:47:19 being clueless herself Nov 21 22:47:24 yerself* Nov 21 22:47:30 * Morgan nods Nov 21 22:47:33 Nothing new there Nov 21 22:47:39 * HH chuckles Nov 21 22:47:47 how’s Molly taken it? Nov 21 22:47:52 You saw her man Nov 21 22:47:59 * HH nods Nov 21 22:48:07 Was woken a bit rudely when I realised and sprang off the damn bed Nov 21 22:48:14 * HH laughs Nov 21 22:48:26 musta been hilarious Nov 21 22:48:46 I thought maybe she knew... poor lass was clueless Nov 21 22:49:04 Molly wouldn’ta kept it from you Nov 21 22:49:39 No, as a surprise maybe once she knew... but... she had no idea. I know what it'll be too...Molly had to know, so... Nov 21 22:51:06 * HH nods Nov 21 22:51:16 what’s having? Nov 21 22:52:03 A baby Nov 21 22:52:30 * HH chuckles Nov 21 22:52:42 would hope so Nov 21 22:53:04 * Morgan checks the coast is clear again Nov 21 22:53:12 *it still is* Nov 21 22:53:21 We'll be having a future Veisgraf Nov 21 22:53:34 yes! that’s great, man Nov 21 22:53:54 * Morgan smiles Nov 21 22:54:16 Just as well I asked, first words out of the Nieblungens mouth were basically 'congrats on having a son on the way' Nov 21 22:54:29 * HH nods Nov 21 22:54:35 that’s what was out there? Nov 21 22:54:40 * Morgan nods Nov 21 22:54:45 Scared shitless by Ballard Nov 21 22:54:53 what?! why? Nov 21 22:55:03 Because that dog is almost head height to them Nov 21 22:55:18 * HH chuckles Nov 21 22:55:23 oh yeah Nov 21 22:55:44 * Morgan nods Nov 21 22:56:25 They can see the paths again... I got the impression they had that feeling like when you come into a clearing and go 'holy shit, we're here already?' Nov 21 22:57:20 think yer feeling that a bit too, right? Nov 21 22:57:32 Yeah, that is a fair statement Nov 21 22:57:52 * HH grins Nov 21 22:58:00 really pleased for you, man Nov 21 22:58:13 * Morgan smiles, putting his arm around HeinzHarold Nov 21 22:58:18 Come on, I'm bloody starving Nov 21 22:58:33 * HH grins Nov 21 22:58:41 not as much as yer wife probably is!
