**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Nov 23 11:23:30 2023 Nov 23 11:23:30 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Nov 23 11:41:07 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Nov 23 11:41:32 * Molly is now known as Varick Nov 23 11:42:31 Vati, do you think Aurora is too big? Nov 23 11:42:31 Too big for what? Nov 23 11:42:31 She looks like she might go pop Nov 23 11:42:31 It looks like her foal is going to be a big one... Nov 23 11:42:47 * Varick nods Nov 23 11:42:55 what colour will it be? Nov 23 11:43:27 * Morgan shrugs Nov 23 11:43:35 I've no idea... a mix of the two perhaps? Nov 23 11:43:48 * Varick nods, coming to Morgan Nov 23 11:43:59 will we sell it? Nov 23 11:44:22 * Morgan shrugs Nov 23 11:44:29 I doubt your mama would want that Nov 23 11:45:34 someone said my first daddy sold horses, but I don’t remember *Though Morgan knows Varick himself had mentioned it last summer* Nov 23 11:47:48 well... Xantha's mine, Aurora is mama's... I think it'd be appropriate if their baby is yours when its old enough, don't you? Nov 23 11:48:09 * Varick nods, smiling Nov 23 11:48:30 then Emil Can has Krest, because I will be too big Nov 23 11:49:26 * Morgan nods Nov 23 11:49:33 Yeah, that'd be nice Nov 23 11:50:13 then Xantha and Aurora have to have another foal so Emil can have a horse and our next baby can have Krest Nov 23 11:50:45 We'll see as we go along, I think Nov 23 11:51:25 will we still live here then? Nov 23 11:51:52 * Morgan nods Nov 23 11:51:58 This is our home now... Nov 23 11:52:14 .(me smiles Nov 23 11:52:17 forever? Nov 23 11:52:56 Think it might be Nov 23 11:53:14 * Varick nods Nov 23 11:53:25 I like it Nov 23 11:53:33 * Morgan nods Nov 23 11:53:35 I do too Nov 23 11:54:28 when are all the people coming? Nov 23 11:54:58 Around the twenty third Nov 23 11:55:05 that is soon Nov 23 11:55:22 *the groom hands Morgan the equipment for the pony Nov 23 11:57:13 * Morgan thanks him, taking Varick in to get the pony saddled Nov 23 11:57:47 * Varick talks as he helps Nov 23 11:57:54 what will I wear? Nov 23 11:58:16 When they come? Nov 23 11:58:26 for for baptism? Nov 23 11:59:08 We'll talk to your mama later but... Sascha and Otto have made a sash for you to wear, and one for Emil... its got some material from Jana's gown Nov 23 11:59:40 * Varick nods Nov 23 11:59:47 that’s like she’s there too Nov 23 12:00:31 * Morgan nods Nov 23 12:00:38 You'll have that connection to her then Nov 23 12:01:02 * Varick nods Nov 23 12:01:30 what will Emil wear? Nov 23 12:01:40 He'll wear a gown I think Nov 23 12:02:01 I did that until I was three, then I became a boy Nov 23 12:03:25 * Morgan smiles, testing the straps Nov 23 12:03:30 And got the smart clothes Nov 23 12:03:36 * Varick nods Nov 23 12:03:44 how will I know when I am a man? Nov 23 12:04:41 Oh, thats really hard to answer Nov 23 12:05:05 how did you know when -you- were a man? Nov 23 12:06:03 * Morgan shrugs Nov 23 12:06:40 I don't know... I think it varies... Partly, I suppose, when people started looking to me for guidance... Nov 23 12:06:54 how old were you? Nov 23 12:07:49 * Morgan shrugs Nov 23 12:08:16 Twenty, maybe... I think its a little hard to say when we were sent to fight so young Nov 23 12:09:38 * Varick looks at the groom “Tebbit, how did you know when you were a man?” Nov 23 12:11:07 *The man with the limp says* Reckon it was when I went off to War. I didn’t know anyone, didn’t have my friends or family to rely on, I had to rely on myself for everything, my Lord Nov 23 12:11:15 * Varick considers this Nov 23 12:12:31 I couldn’t do that yet Nov 23 12:13:18 Hopefully you'll never have to Nov 23 12:13:44 when I go to Koln I will have to rely on myself Nov 23 12:14:04 * Morgan nods Nov 23 12:14:07 Thats not for years Nov 23 12:15:10 * Varick nods Nov 23 12:15:44 but I won’t be a man until I have responsibilities, and I can’t have responsibilities until I am a man Nov 23 12:16:13 You already have responsibilities, don't you? Nov 23 12:18:48 not really Nov 23 12:19:05 You don't think so? You're a big brother... thats a big responsibility Nov 23 12:19:15 * Varick smiles Nov 23 12:19:30 I don’t want him to get hurt Nov 23 12:20:26 As he gets older he'll be looking to you for how he should behave... you'll be the first friend he ever has... Nov 23 12:21:50 I am going to be the best big brother to all our babies Nov 23 12:25:47 * Morgan nods Nov 23 12:25:55 You get to teach Emil how to be a big brother to the others too Nov 23 12:27:30 * Varick nods Nov 23 12:27:35 I am the biggest Nov 23 12:27:38 * Morgan nods Nov 23 12:27:47 And of course there'll be HeinzHarolds children Nov 23 12:28:47 * Varick nods, stroking the pony Nov 23 12:31:20 Our house is going to be really fun Nov 23 12:31:37 * Morgan nods, moving to saddle Xantha Nov 23 12:31:48 I think so... I'll teach you to play billiards and things Nov 23 12:33:08 * Varick nods, holding the pony’s reins Nov 23 12:33:34 *Xantha looks at his saddle, then looks to Aurora Nov 23 12:34:11 Its alright, we're not going far, we'll be back in a bit Nov 23 12:36:33 *Xantha grudgingly allows it* Nov 23 12:36:47 I don’t think he wants to leave Aurora and his baby, Vati Nov 23 12:37:05 No, I know... we're not going far Nov 23 12:38:32 * Varick concentrates on the horse a few moments. Xantha becomes more compliant Nov 23 12:39:30 * Morgan works to get him saddled quickly, looking at the other horses in the stable Nov 23 12:42:51 *as all the others had been hired from Baden, there’s just these two and the pony* Nov 23 12:43:21 * Morgan leads Xantha and Varick outside, helping Varick into the saddle before hauling himself up Nov 23 12:44:40 * Varick looks really pleased Nov 23 12:44:49 I want to do this a lot! Nov 23 12:45:07 * Morgan smiles, setting Xantha at a walk Nov 23 12:45:40 I reckon we'll manage some of that. You're very good with Florrie Nov 23 12:50:07 I do love her, but she can be really bossy Nov 23 12:50:29 * Varick walks on Nov 23 12:50:40 Thats a natural part of growing up... and, her mind works a little differently to ours. She's not trying to upset you Nov 23 12:51:00 I know, Vati Nov 23 12:52:22 * Morgan nods, looking round Nov 23 12:52:26 Its a lot of land isn't it Nov 23 12:53:53 * Varick nods Nov 23 12:53:59 it goes for miles! Nov 23 12:56:05 * Morgan nods Nov 23 12:56:30 Some point while mama's away, if you can persuade Xantha to leave Aurora that long, we'll go for a ride round the whole estate Nov 23 12:57:06 and Heinzharold? Nov 23 12:57:37 I think he'll probably want to work on his house... but maybe Nov 23 12:59:24 what about Uncle Edward? Nov 23 12:59:53 I think he'll be busy with Florrie Nov 23 13:00:07 okay Nov 23 13:02:42 Hopefully it'll all go well Nov 23 13:03:29 why wouldn’t it? Nov 23 13:04:11 Florrie gets anxious around new people doesn't she Nov 23 13:04:30 but Uncle Edward isn’t new Nov 23 13:05:08 She's only seen him in the mirror... I don't know if it'll be different face to face Nov 23 13:05:40 are you worrying, Vati? Nov 23 13:05:54 A little bit... Nov 23 13:07:32 oh. should I be worrying? Nov 23 13:07:53 No, I don't think so... if it doesn't go well, we'll just try again next time Nov 23 13:08:36 * Varick smiles Nov 23 13:08:43 then you don’t need to worry either Nov 23 13:09:38 * Morgan nods Nov 23 13:09:42 No, I suppose not Nov 23 13:11:03 * Varick nods. He’s a competent rider on the pony already Nov 23 13:11:51 Not gonn' be long before you're ready for a horse... Nov 23 13:13:44 * Varick nods Nov 23 13:13:56 I’m a good rider and swimmer Nov 23 13:14:13 * Morgan nods Nov 23 13:14:14 Yes, you are Nov 23 13:15:57 I’m like you Nov 23 13:16:35 * Morgan nods Nov 23 13:21:07 not like Uncle Edward Nov 23 13:21:21 No... he can ride, but he's never been good in water Nov 23 13:24:11 * Varick has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 23 13:33:01 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Nov 23 13:36:13 No... he can ride, but he's never been good in water Nov 23 13:37:08 can we help him some more? Nov 23 13:37:12 * Molly is now known as Varick Nov 23 13:37:58 I'd like to but.... It depends, I suspect he'll want to spend as much time with Florrie as possible. Nov 23 13:39:02 when is he going home? Nov 23 13:39:22 I'm not really sure Nov 23 13:39:46 will he go to Auntie Jarvie’s baby’s christening? Nov 23 13:40:09 I would think so Nov 23 13:40:57 Will you be his Godfather? Nov 23 13:41:46 They haven't asked me to be Nov 23 13:42:15 will I be someone’s Godfather one day? Nov 23 13:42:50 Quite possibly... maybe for your nieces or nephews, or your friends children... Nov 23 13:44:53 * Varick nods Nov 23 13:44:58 I will have a beard then Nov 23 13:45:23 Going for a beard, are you? Nov 23 13:45:42 I think a beard will come even if I don’t want one Nov 23 13:46:34 * Morgan nods Nov 23 13:46:42 You'll have to have your valet shave it Nov 23 13:46:58 you don’t though Nov 23 13:47:29 no... I prefer to do it myself Nov 23 13:48:25 will I be a man when I need to shave? Nov 23 13:48:49 *The lake looks pretty, reflecting the blue and white of the sky* Nov 23 13:49:16 You'll start getting fuzz on your face before that... Nov 23 13:49:46 * Varick nods Nov 23 13:49:56 what about when I can be a wolf? Nov 23 13:50:28 That'll start to happen around the same time I think Nov 23 13:52:17 what about that thing Ivan said about the dreams? Nov 23 13:52:29 * Morgan nods Nov 23 13:52:36 About then too... Nov 23 13:52:52 I still don’t understand what it meant though Nov 23 13:54:10 How do you mean? Nov 23 13:55:41 the wet dreams Nov 23 13:57:11 right... well... at some point, near then, you will have some dreams that will make your body think its time to...plant the seed... Nov 23 13:59:12 * Varick nods “will I dream of my wife I’m going to have?” Nov 23 14:01:52 Probably not, not Nov 23 14:03:58 I will just dream I want to make a baby? Nov 23 14:04:59 Probably, yes Nov 23 14:05:14 okay, what happens then? Nov 23 14:05:48 Your body will think its planting the seed, and... when you wake up, it will have tried and the bedclothes will be wet... Nov 23 14:06:15 the seed is in water? like pee? Nov 23 14:06:31 No, its... its thicker, slippery Nov 23 14:06:52 * Varick makes a disgusted face Nov 23 14:07:04 I don’t think I would like that in my bed Nov 23 14:07:50 No... it'll meant you need the bedclothes changing but... every boy goes through it Nov 23 14:08:59 it will happen to Rickon and Jacques too? Nov 23 14:09:28 At some point, yes... Nov 23 14:09:39 should I warn them? Nov 23 14:10:20 No, thats the sort of thing their fathers will do Nov 23 14:10:51 * Varick nods Nov 23 14:11:01 when does it stop? Nov 23 14:11:55 As you get a bit older Nov 23 14:13:43 that’s good, because I don’t want that forever! Nov 23 14:13:58 No, it would be quite impractical Nov 23 14:14:15 does it still happen to you? Nov 23 14:15:13 Not quite like that no Nov 23 14:16:20 so when I am old like you it will stop Nov 23 14:16:31 I'm not old... but... yes Nov 23 14:18:23 I will get fur in my bed and seeds in my bed. That’s going to be messy Nov 23 14:19:18 * Morgan nods Nov 23 14:19:25 Yes, it will be... but its alright Nov 23 14:21:08 girls don’t get that because they have no seeds? Nov 23 14:23:12 Not as far as I know... could be wrong though Nov 23 14:24:04 should I ask Mama? Nov 23 14:24:32 You can but... why do you need to know? Nov 23 14:25:21 * Varick shrugs Nov 23 14:25:25 I don’t know Nov 23 14:25:31 Just curious? Nov 23 14:27:02 * Varick nods Nov 23 14:27:35 * Morgan nods Nov 23 14:27:45 I understand... you can ask mama if you really want to know Nov 23 14:29:33 I don’t think I need to know Nov 23 14:29:43 * Morgan nods Nov 23 14:29:44 Alright son Nov 23 14:31:38 * Varick walks his horse around the lake Nov 23 14:32:00 Mama says we’ll put our summer house here Nov 23 14:33:45 * Morgan nods Nov 23 14:33:49 Its a good place for it I think Nov 23 14:35:57 * Varick nods Nov 23 14:36:10 But we have to wait until the houses are built Nov 23 14:36:39 * Morgan nods Nov 23 14:36:56 Aye, they deserve to have their homes before we have a summer house don't you think? Nov 23 14:38:51 * Varick nods Nov 23 14:39:07 will Jacques live here? Nov 23 14:40:10 I don't know... it depends whether or not Walder chooses to come and work here Nov 23 14:42:03 do you think he will? Nov 23 14:42:36 * Morgan shrugs Nov 23 14:42:39 I'm afraid I just don't know Nov 23 14:44:15 can I ask him when they come to stay? Nov 23 14:46:19 Let me take care of that son... I know you really want him here Nov 23 14:46:41 * Varick nods Nov 23 14:46:52 Would he have to work? Nov 23 14:47:00 Jacques? Nov 23 14:47:03 yes Nov 23 14:48:26 I don't know really... Nov 23 14:48:37 Maybe he should have lessons with you? Nov 23 14:51:04 * Varick nods “I think that because he helped us with the mirrors we should help him be a boy” Nov 23 14:51:18 * Morgan nods slowly Nov 23 14:51:21 Thats very good thinking Nov 23 14:51:46 Lessons wouldn’t be as boring then Nov 23 14:53:16 * Morgan nods Nov 23 14:53:24 I'll have a think about it, but it really depends on Walder now Nov 23 14:53:44 * Varick nods Nov 23 14:53:55 we would build him a house Nov 23 14:54:01 Wold we? Nov 23 14:55:06 where else would he live? Nov 23 14:55:26 There are staff houses... Nov 23 14:56:04 okay Nov 23 14:58:22 Heinrich has said you can go and stay with them before the baby is born, or in the winter Nov 23 15:00:07 what baby? Nov 23 15:00:14 Hildegarde is having a baby Nov 23 15:03:24 Rickon gets a baby?! Nov 23 15:03:59 * Morgan nods Nov 23 15:04:03 Yes, thats right Nov 23 15:11:08 when is his baby coming? Nov 23 15:11:39 August Nov 23 15:13:12 He is so lucky! Nov 23 15:15:13 It'll be our turn eventually Nov 23 15:16:55 * Varick nods, sighing Nov 23 15:17:15 Okay, Vati. I will show him how to look after a baby with Emil Nov 23 15:18:28 I'm sure he'd like that... and it won't be as long as you think before we have one Nov 23 15:19:56 I do already have Emil Nov 23 15:20:37 Yes, you do Nov 23 15:22:15 * Varick keeps riding Nov 23 15:22:22 do you want to see some frogs? Nov 23 15:22:31 * Morgan nods Nov 23 15:22:35 Yeah, why not Nov 23 15:25:10 * Varick takes him to the right spot before getting down and showing him some frogs in the reeds. It’s the closest Morgan has been to the lake so far* Nov 23 15:28:19 we have a lot of frogs Nov 23 15:28:34 * Morgan nods Nov 23 15:28:37 So it seems Nov 23 15:30:39 * Varick picks one up Nov 23 15:30:45 do you want to hold it? Nov 23 15:31:43 * Morgan nods, holding out his hands Nov 23 15:33:35 * Varick gives it to him. The small green frog just sits there Nov 23 15:34:05 This isn't something I ever got to do as a boy Nov 23 15:35:50 why? Nov 23 15:36:26 Oh, you don't mess with things in the Sudlach Nov 23 15:37:33 * Varick nods Nov 23 15:37:41 but here we can Nov 23 15:38:13 * Morgan nods, gently stroking the food Nov 23 15:38:15 Yes, we can Nov 23 15:39:41 *It seems pretty relaxed, not going anywhere* Nov 23 15:39:51 what else did you want to do as a small boy? Nov 23 15:41:49 I think we've mostly achieved everything I wanted to do... I've got a dog, I've got a ship, I've captained a ship... Nov 23 16:08:45 what about being Graf? Nov 23 16:09:15 No... thats just something I was always going to be... Nov 23 16:10:31 what about being a husband? Nov 23 16:13:06 No, actually, that wasn't something I thought about when I was your age Nov 23 16:15:24 but you had to have heirs, Vati. That’s what we have to do Nov 23 16:16:04 * Morgan nods Nov 23 16:16:16 Yes, I know... but I wasn't thinking about that... I just wanted to sail Nov 23 16:17:53 * Varick nods Nov 23 16:18:07 I still might like to be a coachman Nov 23 16:18:15 Oh? Nov 23 16:19:04 I could take people important letters Nov 23 16:19:19 * Morgan nods Nov 23 16:19:29 I suppose that could be fun... lots of travelling Nov 23 16:24:54 * Varick nods Nov 23 16:25:09 But maybe I’ll just be a Freiarr Nov 23 16:25:21 * Morgan nods Nov 23 16:27:00 *the frog hops off and back into the water Nov 23 16:28:22 * Morgan washes his hands Nov 23 16:28:42 Uinise was very pleased to see the frogs and spiders Nov 23 16:31:19 * Varick nods Nov 23 16:31:27 She really likes spiders Nov 23 16:33:40 * Morgan shudders Nov 23 16:33:44 To each their own I suppose Nov 23 16:33:51 she8s not a spider Nov 23 16:35:30 * Morgan smiles Nov 23 16:35:35 No... thats not what it means Nov 23 16:37:53 oh, okay Nov 23 16:38:42 It means that everyone can have their own preferences... Nov 23 16:39:55 * Varick nods Nov 23 16:39:59 I like all animals Nov 23 16:40:42 * Morgan nods, pulling a long reed out Nov 23 16:40:54 I like most of them... Nov 23 16:43:54 what don’t you like? Nov 23 16:44:01 *he watches Morgan* Nov 23 16:44:09 Spiders Nov 23 16:44:52 just spiders? what about snakes? Nov 23 16:45:17 * Morgan shrugs Nov 23 16:45:32 Only ever seen... what are they, grass snakes? And slow worms Nov 23 16:47:12 I would like to see big snakes one day, but they’re only in the Empire Nov 23 16:47:28 * Morgan nods Nov 23 16:47:36 They've got horrid spiders there Nov 23 16:48:37 why? Nov 23 16:49:13 I don't know, I don't think they import them, so I assume they just live there Nov 23 16:51:11 why are they horrid? Nov 23 16:51:21 * Morgan shudders Nov 23 16:51:31 They're enormous, and ugly, and make a horrible noise, and they bite Nov 23 16:54:49 I don’t think I’d like them Nov 23 16:55:36 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 23 16:55:42 I got bitten by one... horrible thing Nov 23 16:59:09 were you really sick, or was Mama there? Nov 23 16:59:38 No, I was on my own... I felt really tired and started seeing things that weren't there Nov 23 17:02:16 like water? that happens in a desert to people? Nov 23 17:02:35 Sort of... but in my case, I saw HeinzHarolds daddy Nov 23 17:03:58 why?

Nov 23 21:07:55 No, of course not Nov 23 21:08:26 * HH nods Nov 23 21:09:03 Da would say mebbie if it’s that day it’s a sign Dietlinde and Jana are watching over you, help yer babe come safely Nov 23 21:09:30 * Morgan glances at him Nov 23 21:09:37 Yeah maybe he would Nov 23 21:09:42 what?
