**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Nov 28 00:00:37 2023 Nov 28 00:00:37 The horrific things I could do... Nov 28 00:00:58 that you won’t do, because yer you Nov 28 00:02:36 Its not even just... I mean, burning someone would be bad enough, but thats not the worst of it. Nov 28 00:02:44 what then? Nov 28 00:05:02 * Morgan sips his coffee Nov 28 00:05:57 A nightmare made me think of it.. but I reckon I could boil a mans blood... Nov 28 00:08:01 You could also cut out his tongue and stick it in his ass, but you’re not like that Nov 28 00:09:10 No... but that... revulsion, that fear... thats what my father felt... moreso when he realised that all the explosions and screaming he heard when we were attacked were my doing Nov 28 00:10:09 You saved all yer lives that night, man Nov 28 00:11:04 * Morgan nods Nov 28 00:11:17 And I cant help thinking he'd rather we'd all died if it meant me not having magic Nov 28 00:12:32 He’d probably prefer you didn’t swive your wife again until she’s churched. Just because he’s yer Da doesn’t mean he’s not a plank Nov 28 00:13:10 I know... just hard seeing it written on his face Nov 28 00:15:13 * HH nods Nov 28 00:15:28 he’ll come around eventually Nov 28 00:15:47 Maybe. Nov 28 00:17:30 ya know we don’t believe it, right? Nov 28 00:17:41 What? Nov 28 00:19:08 that it’s poison Nov 28 00:20:57 * Morgan sighs, nodding Nov 28 00:21:42 * HH nods Nov 28 00:21:53 yer Ma is gonna be over the moon though Nov 28 00:24:25 Oh yeah, absolutely Nov 28 00:24:36 King Eddie too Nov 28 00:24:47 * Morgan pulls a slight face Nov 28 00:25:00 I dunno... I think it'll be a bit close to home for him and Mina Nov 28 00:25:31 it’s not always instant though, they’ve only been married three and a half months Nov 28 00:26:58 I know... but its taking a toll on them, partly because Mina is trying to be helpful and missing her mark by a mile Nov 28 00:27:23 whatcha mean? Nov 28 00:28:52 She's hurting about Alice and Florrie.... She tries to avoid talking about it, but its not helping... she's terrified she can't have children, and has tried to mitigate the stress of it by keeping it to herself, but it takes up so much of her mind that to Edward, she is withdrawing, holding him at a distance. Nov 28 00:29:16 * HH sighs Nov 28 00:29:27 stress of it’s probably delaying them Nov 28 00:29:42 * Morgan shrugs Nov 28 00:30:06 maybe. Or its simply not time yet. But, by avoiding the subject with eachother, its driving that wedge deeper. Nov 28 00:30:13 * HH nods Nov 28 00:30:46 needs to come to a head? Nov 28 00:30:55 * Morgan shrugs Nov 28 00:31:51 Molly tried getting through to her, but thats when we thought Mina was just being stubborn and, frankly, petty. But its not that, she's scared. I've given her and Edward a little advice, but I've not spoken to him since he left Graben so I've no idea how its going past the letter he sent Nov 28 00:32:50 * HH nods Nov 28 00:33:01 hopefully he’ll turn up tomorrow Nov 28 00:33:10 * Morgan nods Nov 28 00:33:50 I'm going to drag him into my office and clear a few things up before he sees Florrie. If I can remove some of the stresses so he isn't preoccupied by them, I will do Nov 28 00:34:25 * HH nods Nov 28 00:35:12 makes sense man. Gonn be tough for him, first time away from her and he’s gonn have his mind on baby makin Nov 28 00:35:21 * Morgan nods Nov 28 00:35:57 Yeah. And then there's Alice... she's worried what it'll be like seeing him again, what he'll want with Florrie long term... Nov 28 00:36:07 * HH nods Nov 28 00:36:43 They got unlucky getting caught out like that. Lucky to have Florrie, but ya know what I mean Nov 28 00:36:58 * Morgan nods Nov 28 00:37:39 Yeah, I know. I'm thinking of transferring the deeds to the house they're in over to Alice... Nov 28 00:37:57 * HH nods Nov 28 00:38:05 stability Nov 28 00:38:35 She said her staying on the island is up to me... I want to remove that uncertainty from her life Nov 28 00:38:42 * HH nods Nov 28 00:38:47 good idea Nov 28 00:40:18 * Morgan inclines his head Nov 28 00:40:19 High praise Nov 28 00:41:09 * HH laughs Nov 28 00:41:15 doesn’t happen often Nov 28 00:41:38 No... Nov 28 00:42:51 Reckon they’ll still fancy each other? Nov 28 00:43:32 It is a concern Nov 28 00:44:46 * HH nods Nov 28 00:45:15 He wouldn’t cheat though... Nov 28 00:45:34 No, he wouldn't Nov 28 00:46:50 But if Mina picks it up, it’s gonn be trouble any’ow Nov 28 00:47:00 exactly Nov 28 00:48:00 Sometimes it doesn seem to matter to them what ya do and don’t -do-, it matters a lot what you do and don’t feel Nov 28 00:48:13 * Morgan nods Nov 28 00:48:22 Yeah. Which, really, isn't under anyones control Nov 28 00:49:39 Nope. That’s were most men just tell the necessary white lies Nov 28 00:49:50 * Morgan sighs Nov 28 00:49:55 Which doesn't sit well with me Nov 28 00:50:47 nope, but if you find another woman attractive, yer doing yerself no favours admitting it. Not like you were gonna do anything about it anyhow Nov 28 00:51:06 * Morgan nods Nov 28 00:51:17 Other problem there of course is he's -already- done it Nov 28 00:51:49 oh yeah, he’d be better to lie -a lot- Nov 28 00:59:17 * HH has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 28 01:57:09 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 28 07:45:06 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Nov 28 17:13:34 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Nov 28 17:13:40 * Molly is now known as HH Nov 28 17:13:47 Which doesn't sit well with me Nov 28 17:13:47 nope, but if you find another woman attractive, yer doing yerself no favours admitting it. Not like you were gonna do anything about it anyhow Nov 28 17:13:47 * Morgan nods Nov 28 17:13:47 Other problem there of course is he's -already- done it Nov 28 17:13:47 oh yeah, he’d be better to lie -a lot- Nov 28 17:13:54 * Morgan sighs Nov 28 17:14:00 Its so bloody complicated Nov 28 17:14:08 what,W Orkney?

Nov 28 20:57:43 Emil will be bored Nov 28 20:59:30 Possibly, but if he's being handed about he's quite happy, and there's a lot for him to look at, and there's Mina he hasn't met...

Nov 28 21:27:20 * Arendt nods Nov 28 21:29:39 She has, my Lord. I would recommend keeping Mondel, our Butler, and having Dresden as a valet. He was in charge of uniforms, banners, and flags in our unit Nov 28 21:36:57 * Morgan nods Nov 28 21:37:21 I'd like to speak to them both later... they are both on shift? Nov 28 21:39:46 They will be at dinner time. Dresden is just serving as a footman at present, but he was Mannfred’s valet Nov 28 21:41:19 * Morgan nods slowly Nov 28 21:42:09 Alright. I'll speak with them this evening but I'm inclined to trust your judgement. *he watches her for a moment* what's the general feeling among the staff now? How are we doing? Nov 28 21:42:30 * Arendt smiles Nov 28 21:43:01 Well, my Lord. Everyone finds your whole party very pleasant Nov 28 21:43:16 * Morgan smiles Nov 28 21:43:44 I'm glad. Is there anyone hereabouts that would be suitable to speak to about a carriage? Nov 28 21:48:32 * Arendt nods “There’s a few Coach-makers in Kiev. Might I make a suggestion?” Nov 28 21:48:41 Of course Nov 28 21:49:32 Send to Graf Maubourg, tell him you trust his judgement and local knowledge, can he recommend someone and point your footman in their direction” Nov 28 21:50:30 * Morgan nods thoughtfully Nov 28 21:50:37 I'm not used to not doing things myself Nov 28 21:52:10 it tells him you respect him, and tells the locals that things aren’t going to suddenly get upended because you’re here now Nov 28 21:54:06 * Morgan nods slowly Nov 28 21:54:51 I've already made overtures to that effect... alright, I'll write the missive now, would you see that it is delivered please Nov 28 21:54:59 yes, my Lord Nov 28 21:56:30 * Morgan nods, finding some parchment and writing a note to that effect, sealing it and handing it to her Nov 28 21:56:38 * Arendt nods Nov 28 21:57:03 thank you, my Lord Nov 28 21:57:22 I rather think its me needs to be thanking you Nov 28 21:58:56 * Arendt smiles Nov 28 21:59:06 I’ll see it’s done immediately Nov 28 21:59:12 * Morgan nods Nov 28 21:59:38 Thank you. I'm going to be taking a walk,I'll be back in a while Nov 28 22:00:51 * Arendt bobs again Nov 28 22:02:56 * Morgan smiles, inclining his head before going to find Alice and the children Nov 28 22:03:30 * Arendt is now known as Alice Nov 28 22:04:12 * Alice is playing tag with them. She looks more carefree than the hardworking captain he first met back in October Nov 28 22:05:15 * Morgan smiles, making his way toward them Nov 28 22:05:43 V: *he runs towards Morgan* Nov 28 22:06:24 * Morgan steps to the side, catching the boy and throwing him into the air before catching him Nov 28 22:06:40 *Varick laughs* Nov 28 22:06:52 F: No throw! get hurt! Nov 28 22:07:10 * Morgan gently puts Varick down Nov 28 22:07:18 Its alright sweetheart, I got him Nov 28 22:08:21 *Florrie nods* Seeds now? Nov 28 22:08:49 Lets head down to the trees, see if we can find somewhere for them Nov 28 22:11:18 *they do so. the children spend quite a while trying to find a spot where the soil is good and the birds won’t peck the apples to pieces before harvesting Nov 28 22:12:42 * Morgan watches them, handing over a few seeds when the spot has been decided Nov 28 22:13:26 *They are content digging at the ground with stones they find* Nov 28 22:13:36 This is a great way to keep them busy! Nov 28 22:13:48 * Morgan nods Nov 28 22:14:21 Its something of a boon for me too... These apple trees are the ones from Catterick, nicest apples I've ever tasted Nov 28 22:14:41 * Alice looks around Nov 28 22:15:06 it’s a good job they’ve chosen somewhere far from the house, it’d look suspicious Nov 28 22:15:31 Thats why I said down here, already have trees that no-one really pays attention to Nov 28 22:16:30 * Alice nods, watching them Nov 28 22:17:12 it’s good for Florrie to have a companion Nov 28 22:17:21 * Morgan nods Nov 28 22:17:30 They definitely care a great deal for one another Nov 28 22:18:22 * Alice nods Nov 28 22:18:42 she can be very loving Nov 28 22:18:55 * Morgan nods Nov 28 22:18:57 Oh definitely Nov 28 22:21:20 *It takes about half an hour before they agree they are happy with the digging * Nov 28 22:22:30 * Morgan watches them Nov 28 22:22:35 Ready to put the seeds in? Nov 28 22:23:57 *the children nod* Nov 28 22:24:17 * Morgan hands them some Nov 28 22:24:18 Go on then Nov 28 22:24:52 *Florrie and Varick argue like a little old married couple until Florrie says* I not tell you how to animals! Nov 28 22:25:10 * Alice glances at Morgan, trying not to laugh Nov 28 22:25:34 * Morgan bites his lip, looking over at Alice, purposefully not looking at the children Nov 28 22:26:27 * Alice only looks to be getting closer to it. Like this, full of humour and at ease, it’s easy to see how she’d have caught Edward’s eye during his misery Nov 28 22:27:13 *Varick puts the seeds in like Florrie demands of him* Nov 28 22:27:30 * Morgan slowly breathes out quietly before looking back to the children Nov 28 22:27:43 *They’re working together now* Nov 28 22:29:03 * Morgan whispers to Alice Nov 28 22:29:05 That was close Nov 28 22:29:53 * Alice nods Nov 28 22:29:55 it was Nov 28 22:30:24 Adorable though Nov 28 22:30:58 * Alice nods Nov 28 22:31:18 She’s getting more outspoken Nov 28 22:31:31 * Morgan nods Nov 28 22:31:37 Its wonderful to see Nov 28 22:32:18 * Alice nods. They fill in the soil Nov 28 22:34:07 F: make grow? Nov 28 22:35:03 * Morgan looks around before nodding Nov 28 22:36:04 *Florrie touches the ground, concentrating. It doesn’t take long for the sapling to come up Nov 28 22:36:26 * Morgan smiles Nov 28 22:36:31 Never going to not be amazed by that Nov 28 22:38:08 * Alice nods Nov 28 22:38:30 I’ve seen it h7ndreds of times, butit’s still beautiful. it’s like watching time sped up Nov 28 22:38:54 * Morgan nods Nov 28 22:38:57 I suppose it is, yes Nov 28 22:40:35 F: How big? Nov 28 22:41:05 How big do you think you can do it? Nov 28 22:41:21 F: really big Nov 28 22:41:29 * Morgan nods Nov 28 22:41:34 Can you make it full grown? Nov 28 22:42:10 *Florrie gets up, moving away from the emerging tree* Varick, move Nov 28 22:42:35 We have to say please, sweetheart Nov 28 22:43:12 *Varick comes over to Morgan’s. Florrie touches the ground* F: Varick move please sweetheart Nov 28 22:43:54 *Varick does what he’s told* Nov 28 22:44:03 * Morgan chuckles quietly, glancing at Alice Nov 28 22:44:32 * Alice smiles, again trying not to laugh Nov 28 23:27:47 * Alice has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 28 23:46:05 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
