**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Dec 1 00:00:09 2023 Dec 01 00:00:09 Arrogance was my downfall, Edward. Don't let it be yours as well. You are better than that. Dec 01 00:00:53 You may go to your wife now, Morgan Dec 01 00:02:05 Since I am still Veisgraf for right this minute... I'd like to see mother please Dec 01 00:02:36 She is in her morning room Dec 01 00:02:43 * Morgan nods Dec 01 00:02:48 Edward, would you accompany me? Dec 01 00:03:10 *Edward nods, going with him* Dec 01 00:03:21 * Morgan wanders along Dec 01 00:03:31 Have you realised it yet? That you don't hate me... Dec 01 00:04:01 *Molly is indeed in the hall, picking up broken pieces of ceramic* Dec 01 00:05:24 E: I do not hate you, I hate what you have done to us. Dec 01 00:05:34 * Morgan nods Dec 01 00:05:50 I meant what I said... I -am- sorry Dec 01 00:06:05 * Morgan moves to Molly, crouching to help her pick up the ceramic Dec 01 00:06:32 E: *he watches them* Schatzen, I told you to stay upstairs Dec 01 00:07:20 M: *she watches Morgan with a smile, thanking him quietly* Dec 01 00:08:12 * Morgan nods a little, putting all the pieces on the table Dec 01 00:08:24 Bit of filigree, that'll be fixed just fine Dec 01 00:08:55 M: *she blushes, speaking Avalonian* I break a lot of things, I’m very clumsy Dec 01 00:10:23 They're just things. They can be replaced, or mended. *he looks sad a moment* I wish you all the happiness in the world with my brother Dec 01 00:11:09 * Adalbrecht is now known as Molly Dec 01 00:11:32 * Molly watches him, empathetically mimicking his expression Dec 01 00:11:39 why do you look so sad? Dec 01 00:11:56 Because, I'm afraid I will not be there to see it Dec 01 00:12:23 oh, but I would like you to be. I’d like to get to know you Dec 01 00:13:04 That won't be possible. Unlike you, I broke something precious, something that cannot be fixed Dec 01 00:13:49 * Molly looks very affected by this and takes his hand Dec 01 00:14:05 Maybe it still can? Maybe there is hope? Dec 01 00:14:42 That is not up to me. I have accepted what must be done Dec 01 00:14:58 * Molly squeezes his hand Dec 01 00:15:05 I’m sorry Dec 01 00:15:23 * Morgan nods Dec 01 00:15:24 Me too Dec 01 00:15:38 * Molly looks up at Edward Dec 01 00:15:48 Can’t you do something?! Dec 01 00:16:08 E: I have already done more than most. Dec 01 00:16:13 * Morgan nods Dec 01 00:16:27 He is doing what he must to keep his people and home safe. Dec 01 00:17:23 * Molly lets go Dec 01 00:17:50 where are you going? Perhaps I could walk with you? Dec 01 00:18:15 I'm going to see my mother before I have to leave but... there's something I need to talk to Edward about Dec 01 00:18:29 * Molly nods, getting up Dec 01 00:19:06 I hope I’ll get to see you again... *she smiles shyly, flirtily even* Dec 01 00:19:44 Perhaps in time. It was nice meeting you Molly Dec 01 00:20:34 * Molly nods, searching his face like she can’t quite place him Dec 01 00:20:45 E: Are you done, Morgan? Dec 01 00:21:18 * Morgan nods, inclining his head to Molly before turning and moving away Dec 01 00:21:31 * Molly is now known as Edward Dec 01 00:21:37 * Edward walks beside him Dec 01 00:22:20 what is it you want to say to me? Dec 01 00:23:03 A few things. I understand your anger at me... I understand your taking pleasure in me losing my title, my home, my family... Dec 01 00:23:52 I do not take pleasure in it. I wish you had never set eyes on that girl and we were in a safer position than this. Dec 01 00:25:05 I cannot explain the depth of my love for her... but one day you will feel it. You won't agree with my actions, but you'll at least understand. Dec 01 00:25:11 * Morgan sighs Dec 01 00:25:27 I do wish I'd been a better brother, even before all this Dec 01 00:26:06 I will never love so recklessly. I love my family and our land above all Dec 01 00:26:46 * Morgan sighs heavily Dec 01 00:27:41 As did I. It tears at my conscience, what I brought you to do, what I caused you to endure. Dec 01 00:28:26 * Edward shrugs “I serve Sudlachenburg, no matter the costs” Dec 01 00:28:35 Yes. I know. Dec 01 00:28:45 * Morgan stops, gripping Edwards good shoulder firmly Dec 01 00:29:13 Wherever I am, I will always love you. I hope ,one day, you can forgive me. Dec 01 00:30:33 * Edward nods sadly “I hope I can too. I pray for it” Dec 01 00:30:38 * Morgan nods Dec 01 00:30:51 Me too. In the meantime, might I offer a word of warning? Dec 01 00:30:56 yes Dec 01 00:32:06 Karsten.... Dec 01 00:33:26 what about him? Dec 01 00:33:33 He cannot be trusted Dec 01 00:33:44 * Edward laughs briefly Dec 01 00:33:48 I know that. Dec 01 00:33:58 How much do you know? Dec 01 00:34:17 That he is selfish and mercurial Dec 01 00:34:34 And... Dec 01 00:35:10 And what? Dec 01 00:36:08 Given my acceptance of the choices that must be made for Sudlachenburg, and my acceptance of the impact my actions... if I give you my word that I am telling the truth, will you believe me? Dec 01 00:37:11 Yes. You may have done something wholly against my principles, but you have never been a liar Dec 01 00:37:25 * Morgan nods Dec 01 00:37:56 Then I swear to you, I tell you the truth... Karsten is orchestrating an effort to annexe u... you. Dec 01 00:38:21 * Edward looks serious Dec 01 00:38:27 When? Dec 01 00:38:57 I don't know. Fairly soon I think but... I don't know for sure Dec 01 00:39:16 * Edward nods Dec 01 00:39:31 Does he have accomplices? Dec 01 00:39:55 * Morgan nods Dec 01 00:40:13 Maubourg.... Probably others but I have no information about any others Dec 01 00:40:48 * Edward nods Dec 01 00:41:10 I will see Father now. Can you manage to go to Mother alone? Dec 01 00:41:27 * Morgan nods Dec 01 00:41:52 I'll send a list of my things I would like to keep once I am cast out. Dec 01 00:42:17 * Edward nods “It will be seen to” Dec 01 00:42:29 * Morgan nods, hugging him suddenly Dec 01 00:42:34 Take care brother Dec 01 00:43:58 * Edward freezes a moment before hugging him back. He mumbles something Dec 01 00:44:05 Hmm? Dec 01 00:44:21 I said “Sorry she wasn’t higher born” Dec 01 00:44:54 * Morgan nods, backing up and squeezing Edwards neck a moment before tilting his head Dec 01 00:45:07 Go on, go do what I didn't and protect the people Dec 01 00:47:51 * Edward inclines his head before going at a jog down the hall. He looks so young, about to turn twenty Dec 01 00:48:12 * Morgan sighs, looking around before trying to wake up Dec 01 00:49:05 *Molly comes into the hallway looking for him just as he starts to wake* Dec 01 00:49:50 * Morgan abandons the effort, looking t her Dec 01 01:38:44 * Edward has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 01 01:53:47 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Dec 01 09:58:35 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Dec 01 09:59:26 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Dec 01 10:01:14 * Morgan nods, backing up and squeezing Edwards neck a moment before tilting his head Dec 01 10:01:14 Go on, go do what I didn't and protect the people Dec 01 10:01:14 * Edward inclines his head before going at a jog down the hall. He looks so young, about to turn twenty Dec 01 10:01:14 * Morgan sighs, looking around before trying to wake up Dec 01 10:01:14 *Molly comes into the hallway looking for him just as he starts to wake* Dec 01 10:01:16 * Morgan abandons the effort, looking t her Dec 01 10:01:37 * Molly watches him, frowning Dec 01 10:01:43 Is there a problem? Dec 01 10:01:56 I feel like I know you somehow Dec 01 10:02:02 That happens Dec 01 10:04:02 * Molly nods “It’s like you are the name on the tip of my tongue, just out of reach...” Dec 01 10:04:15 * Morgan nods Dec 01 10:05:03 * Molly moves closer Dec 01 10:05:10 it’s confusing Dec 01 10:05:23 * Morgan nodS Dec 01 10:05:26 I'm sure it is Dec 01 10:06:31 * Molly watches him intently “perhaps I have dreamt of you?” Dec 01 10:06:41 Or perhaps this is a dream Dec 01 10:07:21 * Molly looks thoughtful “would it seem so real though?” Dec 01 10:07:37 In my experience... Dec 01 10:07:52 * Molly thinks hard Dec 01 10:08:02 I suppose it is possible... Dec 01 10:08:22 * Morgan smiles, looking around Dec 01 10:09:12 *the house looks as it should* Dec 01 10:10:04 I suppose I could do something that I would never do if it was real? Dec 01 10:10:24 Ah but therein lies a risk, doesn't it... seeming so real, perhaps it is... Dec 01 10:10:51 * Molly nods, thinking again Dec 01 10:10:57 perhaps Dec 01 10:11:24 What we need, really... is a little redheaded girl who smells of snow and pine trees Dec 01 10:11:40 why would we need that?! Dec 01 10:12:01 Because, in my experience, she's the one who helps you realise when its a dream Dec 01 10:12:38 * Molly looks him over, settling on his hand where his original wedding ring is Dec 01 10:13:42 you are happily married? Dec 01 10:14:15 In this life at this time, yes Dec 01 10:15:02 * Molly nods, then she moves and kisses him on the lips Dec 01 10:15:29 * Morgan pauses a beat before stepping back Dec 01 10:16:38 Of course, if its -not- a dream, there's all manner of trouble following doing that Dec 01 10:16:47 * Molly frowns “then this is real, because if it was just a dream you’d have no reason to pull away...” Dec 01 10:17:23 Or I know that sometimes you do not realise it is a dream and feel the consequences of the actions taken in it Dec 01 10:18:26 * Molly sighs frustratedly “how do I know what is real?! it felt familiar to kiss you” Dec 01 10:18:58 * Morgan nods Dec 01 10:19:12 Frustrating isn't it Dec 01 10:19:30 * Molly nods “yes!” Dec 01 10:19:37 * Morgan nods Dec 01 10:19:38 I know Dec 01 10:19:59 * Molly watches him Dec 01 10:20:13 do you feel like you already know me? Dec 01 10:20:30 Ah but I already know the truth Dec 01 10:20:37 which is? Dec 01 10:21:36 You are dreaming, in a bed in Baden with Emil, and our baby within you Dec 01 10:22:34 * Molly looks amused “we’re married, you and I?!” Dec 01 10:22:58 * Morgan nods Dec 01 10:23:41 Oh yes... we've just taken up residence in Hafenlohr but you're on your way to Freiburg for shopping Dec 01 10:24:40 * Molly nods thoughtfully Dec 01 10:24:48 And you love me? Dec 01 10:25:05 * Morgan nods Dec 01 10:25:10 Utterly. Dec 01 10:25:21 * Molly smiles, blushing Dec 01 10:25:49 So, if I believe this, will you kiss me? Dec 01 10:26:17 But if you believed it, you would not need to ask Dec 01 10:26:31 * Molly laughs Dec 01 10:26:44 ah you are too clever for me! Dec 01 10:27:18 I am used to how your mind works Dec 01 10:27:35 * Molly smiles Dec 01 10:27:57 I am going to have to discover it for myself? Dec 01 10:29:02 * Morgan smiles a little Dec 01 10:29:10 Its the only way, without Madchens help... Dec 01 10:29:49 that is a pretty name... *she moves closer again* Dec 01 10:30:01 * Morgan smiles, backing up another step Dec 01 10:30:04 It is Dec 01 10:30:38 * Molly looks amused, stepping forward again Dec 01 10:31:24 * Morgan steps backward again Dec 01 10:31:48 *he walks into a wall that doesn’t exist in reality* Dec 01 10:31:57 Now thats cheating Dec 01 10:32:27 I didn’t do anything... but was that wall there before? Dec 01 10:32:59 No, it wasn't Dec 01 10:34:09 hmm... I was thinking it would be unfortunate if you couldn’t keep running away Dec 01 10:34:32 * Morgan nods Dec 01 10:34:44 Mmhmm... and then there was a wall... Dec 01 10:35:12 * Molly nods, moving forward again Dec 01 10:35:33 that’s very odd Dec 01 10:36:12 * Morgan shrugs, stepping sideways Dec 01 10:36:19 There are two possibilities... Dec 01 10:36:33 * Molly does likewise Dec 01 10:36:35 oh? Dec 01 10:38:05 You either have very powerful magic which only just manifested itself... or... Dec 01 10:38:57 * Molly moves forward to be against him Dec 01 10:38:59 or? Dec 01 10:39:45 Or its a dream... blossom... Dec 01 10:40:16 * Molly nods subconsciously Dec 01 10:40:38 perhaps I am like Sleeping Beauty, locked in a dream? Dec 01 10:42:54 * Morgan steps sideways Dec 01 10:43:15 Indeed... awaiting guidance like... needing the north to your compass.... Dec 01 10:43:32 * Molly nods thoughtfully Dec 01 10:44:41 yes... *another wall appears behind her so that they’re in a small room that looks like a section of corridor, but without exits Dec 01 10:45:06 That is definitely cheating Dec 01 10:45:19 * Molly nods, smiling Dec 01 10:45:26 mmhmm... Dec 01 10:46:34 So... it appears you have me trapped Dec 01 10:46:43 * Molly nods Dec 01 10:47:03 If indeed it is a dream, why not take advantage of that? Dec 01 10:47:17 And how do you propose we do that? Dec 01 10:47:50 if it is just a dream, we could go anywhere, couldn’t we? Dec 01 10:47:56 * Morgan nods Dec 01 10:47:58 Yes indeed Dec 01 10:48:09 where would you like to be? Dec 01 10:50:09 Behind the waterfall by our house in Capperlucia Dec 01 10:50:34 I’m not sure where that is, but I will try Dec 01 10:50:47 * Morgan nods Dec 01 10:50:50 Its in there somewhere Dec 01 10:51:37 * Molly concentrates, and he hears the rushing of water before the scene around him changes, suddenly between rocks and the fall Dec 01 10:51:57 * Morgan looks round, impressed Dec 01 10:51:58 Well done Dec 01 10:52:07 * Molly looks around Dec 01 10:52:11 Oh! Dec 01 10:54:49 Well done Dec 01 10:55:36 * Molly smiles, nodding. Then she looks at him Dec 01 10:55:43 well, hello there Dec 01 10:55:59 All come together has it? Dec 01 10:56:51 * Molly nods Dec 01 10:57:35 I miss you Dec 01 10:57:56 * Molly wraps her arms around him Dec 01 10:58:02 you have me, for now Dec 01 10:59:41 * Morgan cuddles her Dec 01 10:59:56 * Molly sighs happily Dec 01 11:00:05 oh I’ve needed this all day! Dec 01 11:00:37 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:00:47 It is all well so far? Dec 01 11:01:26 yes, absolutely fine. I am going to send you something tomorrow before we get on the ferry Dec 01 11:01:38 * Molly gently strokes his back Dec 01 11:03:12 Oh? Dec 01 11:03:26 it’s a surprise Dec 01 11:04:16 Is it like the other surprise you left me? Dec 01 11:05:07 * Molly giggles Dec 01 11:05:11 no Dec 01 11:05:38 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:05:40 Alright love Dec 01 11:05:48 are you relieved by that? Dec 01 11:06:22 Yes and no Dec 01 11:06:52 why both? Dec 01 11:08:58 It made me miss you more but it was... enjoyable to have... Dec 01 11:09:07 * Molly nods Dec 01 11:09:32 I did wonder if you might find it a little too... crude, I suppose Dec 01 11:09:45 No love, I didn't Dec 01 11:09:55 just arousing? Dec 01 11:10:20 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:10:21 Indeed Dec 01 11:10:54 * Molly nods Dec 01 11:10:59 Good, I like that Dec 01 11:12:19 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:12:37 you did not...? Dec 01 11:13:11 No I didn't Dec 01 11:14:59 * Molly looks up at him with mischief Dec 01 11:15:06 Nor did I, for a change! Dec 01 11:15:15 Oh really? That is a surprise Dec 01 11:15:21 * Molly laughs Dec 01 11:15:28 You expect it from me? Dec 01 11:15:44 Somewhat aye Dec 01 11:16:05 I do not usually have to share a room Dec 01 11:18:03 No that is true Dec 01 11:18:28 I would have, had I been alone Dec 01 11:19:10 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:19:12 Thought you might Dec 01 11:19:32 * Molly smiles Dec 01 11:19:40 I blame you, my love, entirely Dec 01 11:19:49 Oh? Why's that? Dec 01 11:20:53 imagine walking around knowing you are suddenly much more irresistibly desirable to the person you yearn to be irresistibly desirable too Dec 01 11:20:57 to* Dec 01 11:22:15 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:22:20 That must be tough Dec 01 11:22:29 * Molly nods, smiling Dec 01 11:22:33 It is Dec 01 11:24:32 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:24:35 It does not bother you? Dec 01 11:24:41 what “ Dec 01 11:24:43 ? Dec 01 11:25:17 That it has that effect on me Dec 01 11:25:26 * Molly shakes her head Dec 01 11:25:47 oh no, I love it. It makes me feel more desirable, even in myself Dec 01 11:26:35 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:26:36 good Dec 01 11:26:50 does it bother -you-? Dec 01 11:27:49 uhhh... more that it worries me what others might think... Dec 01 11:28:44 like whom? it’s noone’s business Dec 01 11:29:47 Well, you, HeinzHarold, Inga... Dec 01 11:30:24 Inga is pleased because she knows I am pleased by it Dec 01 11:30:42 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:32:06 And Heinzharold, we’ll, no doubt he is ribbing you mercilessly Dec 01 11:32:22 Not as much as you might imagine... not that I see much of him Dec 01 11:32:37 he’s keeping himself busy? Dec 01 11:32:42 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:32:45 Aye, very Dec 01 11:32:53 * Molly nods Dec 01 11:33:38 from what Inga says he’s more amused that he didn’t realise last time that that was why you were often late for things Dec 01 11:35:14 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:35:21 Unusual for him to miss something like that really Dec 01 11:35:28 * Molly nods Dec 01 11:35:49 He just thought you were busy being soppy and planning for the baby Dec 01 11:38:13 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:38:19 A fair assumption for most I suppose Dec 01 11:38:31 * Molly nods Dec 01 11:38:52 he’ll be better prepared this time Dec 01 11:39:08 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:39:33 aye... he'll be too busy to notice anyway Dec 01 11:39:50 * Molly nods Dec 01 11:40:17 good, because I intend to make the best of it in the months we have left Dec 01 11:40:37 Oh really? Dec 01 11:40:42 * Molly smiles Dec 01 11:40:55 oh yes, I am looking forward to it greatly Dec 01 11:41:21 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:41:23 Alright then Dec 01 11:41:37 that surprises you? Dec 01 11:42:00 A little, yes Dec 01 11:42:05 whyso? Dec 01 11:42:17 well... its not... normal... is it Dec 01 11:42:32 isn’t it? or do we just not hear of it? Dec 01 11:42:51 No, I suspect its the former Dec 01 11:43:20 why does that trouble you? You are doing nothing unkind to anyone Dec 01 11:43:49 No, I know Dec 01 11:44:49 I think it’s nice. You are very much more attracted when I am carrying your child, and it is a time I feared would make you less so than usual Dec 01 11:45:15 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:45:22 Alright love Dec 01 11:45:36 * Molly kisses him gently Dec 01 11:46:32 you’ve nothing to be ashamed of. I think it’s when my body is at its most feminine and soft, how could that not be arousing? Dec 01 11:46:44 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:46:48 Aye, you're right Dec 01 11:46:57 * Molly nods Dec 01 11:47:37 And there’s a tender closeness to it, where we have been more fundamentally united than we could be in any other way Dec 01 11:47:55 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:48:02 Yes, there is Dec 01 11:48:24 * Molly nods Dec 01 11:49:00 it feels like a boundary has been overcome to me, like we are physically more at ease together. I adore that Dec 01 11:49:54 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:49:59 Good Dec 01 11:50:46 do you? does it feel different this way to you? Dec 01 11:51:18 Sort of, yes Dec 01 11:51:41 you will more so when we have spent more time together? Dec 01 11:51:49 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:51:51 Aye, I reckon so Dec 01 11:52:56 * Molly nods Dec 01 11:54:16 Are you struggling without me? Dec 01 11:55:39 I'm managing. Took the children for a swim today, spent some time talking with Alice... appointed a valet, sent an enquiry about getting a carriage. Dec 01 11:56:05 I meant in the bedroom, my love Dec 01 11:56:30 Oh... to a point, yes... though at the moment its more missing you... the bed feels enormous. Dec 01 11:57:07 * Molly nods Dec 01 11:57:26 I recall, though there I did not have to share a room, and so... Dec 01 11:58:01 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:59:01 * Molly holds him closer Dec 01 11:59:18 On Wednesday night I will lie there with you Dec 01 11:59:31 * Morgan nods Dec 01 11:59:46 It feels like forever Dec 01 12:00:45 * Molly nods Dec 01 12:00:57 Oh but how good it will feel... Dec 01 12:01:10 * Morgan nods Dec 01 12:01:11 aye Dec 01 12:01:25 Are you planning to tell Mina anything? Dec 01 12:02:12 I am undecided. What thinks you? Dec 01 12:02:27 Let me talk with Edward, see what he thinks... its his ship... Dec 01 12:04:18 * Molly nods Dec 01 12:04:28 That is a good idea, my love Dec 01 12:04:44 * Morgan nods Dec 01 12:06:26 I wonder if we could hear the baby here... Dec 01 12:07:46 * Morgan shrugs Dec 01 12:07:51 I've no idea Dec 01 12:09:49 would you like me to try? Dec 01 12:10:15 * Morgan nods Dec 01 12:10:16 please Dec 01 12:11:27 * Molly concentrates. The waterfall becomes static and silent, and then there is the quiet but fast sound of the heartbeat. She smiles at him Dec 01 12:17:17 * Morgan sighs happily Dec 01 12:17:20 God I love that sound Dec 01 12:25:27 * Molly smiles, looking around and making it louder Dec 01 12:25:33 your son Dec 01 12:26:05 * Morgan nods Dec 01 12:28:54 * Molly holds out her hand Dec 01 12:33:49 * Morgan takes it Dec 01 12:34:12 * Molly puts it on her belly Dec 01 12:35:10 * Morgan smiles, squeezing gently Dec 01 12:36:41 * Molly smiles “amazing to think we made a new person” Dec 01 12:36:57 * Morgan nods Dec 01 12:37:06 Who you'll feel move before too long Dec 01 12:37:17 * Molly nods Dec 01 12:37:24 I look forward to it Dec 01 12:37:34 * Morgan nods Dec 01 12:37:45 I'm looking forward to being able to tell our parents Dec 01 12:38:00 * Molly nods Dec 01 12:38:41 Would you be upset if it happens whilst I’m away? Dec 01 12:39:30 Id be... a little disappointed I didn't get to see your reaction, but that is possible even in the same house Dec 01 12:39:57 * Molly nods Dec 01 12:40:18 were you there with Jana? (no canon) Dec 01 12:41:12 We were in the garden, so I sort of caught the end of it Dec 01 12:41:44 * Molly smiles gently Dec 01 12:41:57 that must have been a happy day Dec 01 12:42:01 * Morgan nos Dec 01 12:42:04 Very Dec 01 12:42:32 * Molly nods, listening to the sound Dec 01 12:43:32 * Morgan strokes his thumb over her belly quietly Dec 01 12:47:32 *he suddenly wakes up* Dec 01 12:47:44 * Morgan looks around quickly Dec 01 12:48:29 *its all quiet* Dec 01 12:48:40 * Morgan frowns Dec 01 12:48:48 Was that you Hirschen? Dec 01 12:48:57 * Morgan checks the time Dec 01 12:49:10 *It’s only half after three* Dec 01 12:49:34 * Morgan sighs, getting the mirror out, uncovering it while he writes a note Dec 01 12:50:11 ((What does it say?)) Dec 01 12:51:06 "I'm assuming our little Hirschen has decided its time to hide. Please let me know you are ok as soon as you can. I love you" Dec 01 12:51:34 *Nothing changes* Dec 01 12:52:18 * Morgan sighs, getting out of bed to go and listen at the door to Varicks room Dec 01 12:52:33 *it’s all peaceful* Dec 01 12:52:58 * Morgan goes to look out of the window Dec 01 12:53:42 *The moon makes the lake sparkly* Dec 01 12:54:07 * Morgan watches for a few minutes before getting back into bed, packing the mirror away Dec 01 12:55:32 *It is even lonelier at this time of night* Dec 01 12:55:59 * Morgan grumbles for a moment before trying to settle again Dec 01 13:01:53 *he dreams of the day Dietlinde first felt Jana move, the excitement and joy that had led to an embrace, which in turn led to the scent of her arousing him, and taking her to bed. Their love-making had been gentle, sweet and loving as usual, and very special when they had just discovered their child was alive and growing strong within her. He is almost there in his dream when he wakes up very hard and aroused Dec 01 13:02:26 * Morgan grumbles again, searching for a cloth Dec 01 13:03:16 *there’s one in the drawer with the mirror and the parchment-wrapped cloth* Dec 01 13:03:48 * Morgan takes it, and the parchment, unwrapping it and pressing it to his nose before starting to rub himself Dec 01 13:04:15 *it still smells as good as yesterday* Dec 01 13:04:36 * Morgan starts rubbing himself harder, working towards orgasm Dec 01 13:05:43 *He must have knocked the cover off the mirror, because he hears a whisper of “Liebes herz? Are you there?” Dec 01 13:06:03 * Morgan covers himself, pulling the mirror onto the bed Dec 01 13:06:11 Are you alright? Dec 01 13:06:50 * Molly whispers again. There’s only a little moonlight illuminating her in a chair by the window Dec 01 13:07:12 I was going to leave you a reply, but it was partly uncovered Dec 01 13:07:25 * Morgan nods Dec 01 13:07:28 I just woke up Dec 01 13:07:34 * Molly nods Dec 01 13:08:13 Emil woke up thinking that the presence of my bubbies was a wonderful thing. I tried to get back to you by going back to sleep Dec 01 13:10:43 * Morgan nods Dec 01 13:10:50 I tried but it didn't happen, obviously Dec 01 13:10:58 * Molly nods Dec 01 13:11:20 I dreamt I was on a little boat, sailing peacefully beneath the stars Dec 01 13:11:31 * Morgan nods Dec 01 13:11:34 Thats a bit unusual Dec 01 13:11:42 * Molly nods Dec 01 13:11:46 relaxing though Dec 01 13:11:58 * Morgan nods Dec 01 13:12:09 I dreamed of when Dietlinde felt the quickening Dec 01 13:12:16 * Molly smiles Dec 01 13:12:19 That’s nice Dec 01 13:13:18 * Morgan nod Dec 01 13:13:19 aye Dec 01 13:13:39 I’m glad you did not have nightmares Dec 01 13:13:45 * Morgan nods Dec 01 13:13:49 Been a few days now Dec 01 13:13:57 * Molly nods Dec 01 13:14:13 are you going to return to sleep? Dec 01 13:14:22 * Morgan checks the time Dec 01 13:14:49 *it’s still about an hour before he’d usually wake Dec 01 13:15:27 I don't know... its still bit early Dec 01 13:15:40 * Molly nods Dec 01 13:15:51 you’re not usually up yet Dec 01 13:16:44 * Morgan nods Dec 01 13:16:49 O... Dec 01 13:16:51 No... Dec 01 13:17:59 A shame we cannot cuddle up together a while Dec 01 13:18:12 * Morgan nods Dec 01 13:18:20 Aye, it is. Its going to be a long few days Dec 01 13:19:17 * Molly nods, smiling Dec 01 13:19:35 Especially for me, until we get to Mina’s! Dec 01 13:19:46 * Morgan blushes Dec 01 13:19:49 Ah, yes Dec 01 13:20:47 I imagine I’ll not be there long at all before... *she smiles* Dec 01 13:21:30 Ah, bit of relief... Dec 01 13:21:50 * Molly nods Dec 01 13:22:32 I will no doubt wish to immediately go to my room to get cleaned up from the trip Dec 01 13:22:41 * Morgan nods Dec 01 13:22:50 I... was considering doing something like that... Dec 01 13:23:01 * Molly smiles warmly Dec 01 13:23:04 oh really? Dec 01 13:23:13 * Morgan nods Dec 01 13:23:19 aye Dec 01 13:23:59 * Molly smiles “leaving you the pink fabric really was an inspired idea of mine, hmm?” Dec 01 13:24:17 * Morgan blushes, picking it up Dec 01 13:24:25 aye... its certainly inpisiring... Dec 01 13:24:36 * Molly looks very happy Dec 01 13:24:47 I am very glad you find it so Dec 01 13:24:58 * Morgan nods Dec 01 13:26:01 should I let you go so you can do so? Dec 01 13:26:14 uhhh... you don't -have- to go... Dec 01 13:27:01 * Molly glances over her shoulder a moment before nodding Dec 01 13:27:17 I shall stay, if that would please you? Dec 01 13:27:31 Unless you wish to sleep a bit more... with all the travelling... Dec 01 13:27:41 * Molly shakes her head Dec 01 13:28:41 No, we’ll be on the ferry at ten, and then have twenty four hours of nothing to do... perhaps we will take it in turns for having a nap or taking Emil for some fresh air... Dec 01 13:29:03 * Morgan nods Dec 01 13:29:06 Alright then Dec 01 13:29:11 * Molly smiles Dec 01 13:29:27 What you and I both know is now unlikely to be a nap, hmm? Dec 01 13:29:47 * Morgan nods Dec 01 13:29:48 Indeed Dec 01 13:31:08 * Molly gets comfortable in the chair quietly before pushing the shift down so more of her cleavage is on show Dec 01 13:32:26 * Morgan shifts, rearranging the pillows to prop up the mirror before uncovering himself Dec 01 13:33:06 * Molly ‘s brows raise, smiling “Oh I do miss that” Dec 01 13:33:24 Oh? Dec 01 13:34:34 * Molly licks her lower lip Dec 01 13:34:48 I miss you with my hands, and with my mouth... Dec 01 13:35:05 * Morgan nods, stroking himself to his full hardness Dec 01 13:36:56 * Molly bites her lip, watching his hand and manhood raptly. She nods, smiling Dec 01 13:37:20 * Morgan brings the fabric to his nose again, stroking himself faster Dec 01 13:40:15 * Molly ‘s lips part, looking him over “Oh fuck! I feel like I could explode just watching you!” Dec 01 13:40:26 * Morgan nods, inhaling deeply Dec 01 13:40:40 I daresay it won't be long before exploding of my own happens Dec 01 13:42:00 * Molly nods “That’s right, my love. Enjoy it, let yourself revel is the scent of me and make yourself feel good. I am enjoying this immensely.” Dec 01 13:42:51 * Morgan groans quietly, rolling his hips as his hand moves faster Dec 01 13:43:47 My god, that is so arousing! I will picture this when I can finally do likewise! Dec 01 13:44:04 * Morgan nods, breathing slowly Dec 01 13:44:09 Oh... nearly... Dec 01 13:45:34 * Molly nods, smiling. She pushes the shift down, revealing her breasts “Yes, my love. Imagine it here...” Dec 01 13:46:16 * Morgan grunts, his back arching as he holds his breath for several seconds before exhaling explosively, his seed being propelled in high arcs Dec 01 13:47:13 fuck, yes! Dec 01 13:47:31 * Morgan slowly lowers himself back to the bed, breathing heavily Dec 01 13:47:52 Oh... that was good Dec 01 13:48:00 * Molly ‘s pupils are massive, sucking her lower lip Dec 01 13:48:16 I can feel the arousal in my feet that was so good! Dec 01 13:48:37 * Morgan nods, exhaling slowly Dec 01 13:48:48 Oh man... you're in so much trouble once you get home Dec 01 13:48:57 am I? Dec 01 13:49:04 * Morgan nods Dec 01 13:49:20 I don't -do- this... imagine what I'll be like once you get back from such a time away Dec 01 13:49:35 * Molly tilts her head Dec 01 13:49:41 in what way, my love? Dec 01 13:49:56 I rather think I'll be fucking you senseless Dec 01 13:50:08 * Molly whimpers quietly Dec 01 13:50:20 I cannot express how badly I need that now! Dec 01 13:50:35 * Morgan smiles a little, fishing for the cloth Dec 01 13:50:39 Its only a few days Dec 01 13:51:34 My fingers will be so tired, especially these *she holds up the middle and ring fingers of her right hand* Dec 01 13:52:02 * Morgan nods Dec 01 13:52:08 They can rest once you get back Dec 01 13:52:21 I will hold you to that! Dec 01 13:52:47 * Morgan nods Dec 01 13:52:53 I look forward to it Dec 01 13:52:58 * Molly nods Dec 01 13:53:10 Me too. How do you feel now? Better? Dec 01 13:53:23 * Morgan nods Dec 01 13:53:25 I do, yes Dec 01 13:54:32 * Molly smiles Dec 01 13:54:44 I know you usually don’t, but... wow. Dec 01 13:55:43 Oh? Dec 01 13:57:15 * Molly smiles Dec 01 13:57:21 That was wonderful Dec 01 13:57:42 * Morgan smiles Dec 01 13:57:49 I'm glad you enjoyed it... god knows I did Dec 01 14:00:12 It’s never been that good before? Dec 01 14:01:20 Not that I recall Dec 01 14:01:33 * Molly smiles Dec 01 14:01:50 I am very glad you enjoyed it so much Dec 01 14:02:13 * Morgan nods Dec 01 14:02:24 And I you... I'd best let you try to get some sleep Dec 01 14:03:33 * Molly smiles Dec 01 14:03:50 I’m afraid that is going to be almost impossible now! Dec 01 14:04:25 Perhaps you could use your ability to... expedite the process? Dec 01 14:05:30 of going to sleep? Dec 01 14:05:56 no... Dec 01 14:07:49 oh... I don’t know... Would you wish me to try? Dec 01 14:08:59 It might make the rest of the night easier for you... Dec 01 14:11:42 * Molly nods propping the mirror up on table and trying to focus, eyes closed. he can’t feel the magic from there, but he sees how she suddenly blows out a steady quiet breath “I think... I could... with a bit more” Dec 01 14:11:52 * Morgan nods Dec 01 14:11:57 Okay my love, do that Dec 01 14:13:26 * Molly nods slightly, concentrating again before her brows suddenly come together and he can see her body tense, biting her lip hard. She stays silent for a change Dec 01 14:13:50 Thats it my love... Dec 01 14:14:23 * Molly draws a quiet deep breath after quite a long peak Dec 01 14:14:41 was... that... what you... wished? Dec 01 14:15:01 * Morgan nods Dec 01 14:15:03 Yes, it was Dec 01 14:16:11 * Molly smiles Dec 01 14:16:43 good... I feel better, but I suspect I won’t feel entirely spent until we make love Dec 01 14:16:50 * Morgan nods Dec 01 14:16:54 It only takes the edge off Dec 01 14:17:18 * Molly nods “Like when you bank a fire, the embers stay hot” Dec 01 14:17:51 * Morgan nods Dec 01 14:17:52 aye Dec 01 14:18:34 I have some more scraps of fabric, would you have me send you another? Dec 01 14:19:07 * Morgan nods Dec 01 14:19:08 Please Dec 01 14:19:48 I wonder whether the scent would be even clear if you gently heated them with magic... Dec 01 14:19:57 clearer* Dec 01 14:21:06 possibly... I'll find ut later Dec 01 14:23:07 * Molly smiles Dec 01 14:23:20 once you are replenished?

Until later xx** Dec 01 22:45:17 * Morgan leaves a reply "I will be here with Varick and ten to one. All my love" Dec 01 22:48:39 *There’s no reply.

Dec 01 22:57:59 *Maggie nods* I sleep in the chair when they’re asleep Dec 01 22:58:07 * Morgan looks at the chair Dec 01 22:58:26 *It doesn’t look comfortable to sleep in Dec 01 22:58:34 * HH is now known as Maggie Dec 01 22:58:40 Alright... we're getting a more comfortable one Dec 01 22:59:03 V: There’s space for another bed, Vati Dec 01 22:59:38 * Morgan nods slightly Dec 01 23:00:18 Alright...

Dec 01 23:04:18 * Maggie nods “Notmally children sleep in the nursery and there are staff rooms there, my Lord” Dec 01 23:04:53 That is true... something we need to consider in the long term I think Dec 01 23:05:59 * Maggie nods.

I'll need to speak to him first anyway Dec 01 23:18:28 *Alice nods* I wish to see him before she does too Dec 01 23:18:44 Ground rules?

There’s a tap at the door, and Frau Arendt comes in “My Lord, might I have some of your time at ten?” Dec 01 23:27:28 Is that time particularly important? Dec 01 23:28:59 FA: It fits with the chores, my Lord Dec 01 23:29:32 * Morgan nods Dec 01 23:29:39 Alright.

His time at the building site it short, but the work is going well outside, the men working hard on the foundations. He’s getting properly stuck in when the clock over the main door chimes for quarter to ten Dec 01 23:40:11 * Morgan grumbles, calling to HeinzHarold that he needs to go and calls Varick to him Dec 01 23:43:00 * HH is now known as Varick Dec 01 23:43:06 * Varick looks at him Dec 01 23:43:18 Do I have to go indoors now?

Dec 01 23:56:42 * Morgan nods Dec 01 23:57:07 Yes, I'm happy to have them continue in their roles as you suggested Dec 01 23:58:15 * Arendt nods, crossing through this
