**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Dec 5 00:00:16 2023 Dec 05 00:00:16 * Morgan nods Dec 05 00:00:17 Even so Dec 05 00:00:37 * Edward nods Dec 05 00:00:46 A solution will be found Dec 05 00:01:42 * Morgan nods Dec 05 00:01:58 Rather puts you front and centre with his Grace... Dec 05 00:02:06 * Edward nods Dec 05 00:02:35 A happy solution will give me His Grace’s favour Dec 05 00:02:51 * Morgan nods Dec 05 00:03:25 That would be a satisfactory outcome Dec 05 00:03:34 * Edward nods Dec 05 00:03:55 You have given them separate bedrooms? Dec 05 00:04:04 Zench and Heidi? Dec 05 00:04:11 * Edward nods Dec 05 00:04:24 No, they've got a room with a big bed Dec 05 00:04:32 * Edward sighs Dec 05 00:04:40 That will not be suitable Dec 05 00:04:54 * Morgan smiles a little Dec 05 00:04:55 Twice Dec 05 00:05:20 * Edward rolls his eyes Dec 05 00:05:39 I don’t think we’ll be able to keep them full apart, of course Dec 05 00:06:01 I'm going to ask Heidi nicely Dec 05 00:06:23 * Edward laughs hard Dec 05 00:07:29 No one has ever tried that before (!) Dec 05 00:08:35 I will simply explain that it is an important occasion and that if she causes issues, it will hurt Molly and Varick,and that I am leaving it to her conscience as to whether she wishes to upset a child. Dec 05 00:08:58 * Edward nods Dec 05 00:09:34 They will have to be watched in Quiet Hour. You know how these young betrothed couples can be... Dec 05 00:10:02 I recall, yes. I might set Martha on her Dec 05 00:10:08 * Edward smiles Dec 05 00:10:37 I’d offer to help, but I will naturally be busy seeing to my own... succession. Dec 05 00:11:07 * Morgan nods Dec 05 00:11:26 Providing you aren't swimming her in the morning room and getting interrupted to be told the priest has arrived for your meeting early Dec 05 00:11:38 * Morgan sips his whiskey, looking up at the bookcase Dec 05 00:13:21 * Edward chuckles Dec 05 00:13:42 That’s a bit over-specific, brother Dec 05 00:14:02 I like to cover all eventualities Dec 05 00:14:11 * Edward laughs Dec 05 00:14:51 Unlike you did in my house, I will keep my marital assignations to my bedchamber Dec 05 00:16:11 * Morgan shrugs Dec 05 00:16:18 I mean... if you -want- to be boring, you go ahead Dec 05 00:16:26 * Edward chuckles Dec 05 00:17:24 Should I start knocking and waiting quite some time before opening any door? Dec 05 00:18:04 Lessons were learned about locks, thats all I'll say Dec 05 00:19:40 Her new maternal state has not put a stop to all that then? Dec 05 00:20:11 Uhhhh... no. It has quite the opposite effect Dec 05 00:21:01 Old wives tales suggest avoiding it for the early weeks Dec 05 00:22:03 *this would have meant not doing it in the brothel, behind the waterfall, or on the kitchen table in Capperlucia* Dec 05 00:22:33 It would seem that is not an issue Dec 05 00:23:24 The Capperlucians have made a lot of effort studying and learning about women's bodies, reproductive capabilities and pregnancy... if -they- said to avoid it, I would say its a good idea Dec 05 00:24:41 * Edward nods “This is just People, you know.” Dec 05 00:24:51 * Morgan nods Dec 05 00:26:23 So expect no help from you in Quiet Hour then Dec 05 00:27:00 I will have spent nine out of eleven days away from her... Dec 05 00:27:21 * Edward nods Dec 05 00:27:36 You will have a few days before everyone comes Dec 05 00:27:49 * Morgan sniggers Dec 05 00:28:12 I'll help if I can. We may have to rely on Potts, Witts and DeeDee Dec 05 00:28:39 Those limited to the solo shuffle in Quiet Hour anyway? Dec 05 00:28:46 Indeed Dec 05 00:28:59 * Edward nods Dec 05 00:29:18 Petra is visiting Graben Dec 05 00:29:34 Things are progressing with them? Dec 05 00:29:58 I don’t know. I’m not sure either of them have their hearts in it Dec 05 00:30:33 * Morgan nods Dec 05 00:30:44 Always a sad state. How is Wonks? Dec 05 00:32:19 They’re enjoying what they have. He is well, he has his new horse Dec 05 00:53:05 * Edward has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 05 01:33:25 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Dec 05 07:59:23 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Dec 05 10:13:45 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Dec 05 15:18:34 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Dec 05 16:37:12 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Dec 05 16:37:36 Those limited to the solo shuffle in Quiet Hour anyway? Dec 05 16:37:36 Indeed Dec 05 16:37:36 * Edward nods Dec 05 16:37:36 Petra is visiting Graben Dec 05 16:37:36 Things are progressing with them? Dec 05 16:37:37 I don’t know. I’m not sure either of them have their hearts in it Dec 05 16:37:43 * Morgan nods Dec 05 16:37:45 Always a sad state. How is Wonks? Dec 05 16:37:47 They’re enjoying what they have. He is well, he has his new horse Dec 05 16:37:49 * Morgan nods Dec 05 16:37:55 Excellent. He is in my thoughts often Dec 05 16:38:04 * Molly nods Dec 05 16:38:30 He called this one Valour after the last Dec 05 16:38:45 * Morgan smiles Dec 05 16:38:58 * Molly is now known as Edward Dec 05 16:39:03 I'm pleased he has one of his own again Dec 05 16:42:14 * Edward nods Dec 05 16:42:24 H’e very grateful to you Dec 05 16:43:17 He doesn't need to be, not at all Dec 05 16:44:15 * Edward sips the whiskey Dec 05 16:44:56 it is nice to have him there, though he is still giving me knowing looks about what I asked about on your behalf Dec 05 16:45:23 * Morgan blushes Dec 05 16:45:31 I'm sorry but... it was worth it Dec 05 16:47:31 * Edward chuckles Dec 05 16:47:51 I’ve yet to experience it, so I will bow to your greater experience Dec 05 16:48:47 * Morgan nods a little, sipping his whiskey Dec 05 16:49:56 I have an apple tree... Dec 05 16:51:16 * Edward nods, trying to figure out the link Dec 05 16:51:17 yes? Dec 05 16:52:49 Its the species uncle Christopher has an Foxcroft... Dec 05 16:54:55 * Edward smiles Dec 05 16:54:59 they are good Dec 05 16:55:52 * Morgan checks the time to make sure they have time before dinner before getting up Dec 05 16:55:56 Come on, I want to show you Dec 05 16:57:11 /me finishes his whiskey Dec 05 16:57:24 *They will have time* Dec 05 16:57:47 * Morgan empties his glass, getting up Dec 05 16:58:04 You can leave your sword in here... Mollys going to look for a scabbard for it Dec 05 16:58:28 unless... you wish to, for want of a better word, play with them... Dec 05 17:01:11 * Edward nods Dec 05 17:01:50 We will do that, brother. I will need to focus my energies on my daughter, I may not have time for it later Dec 05 17:02:21 * Morgan nods, carrying his sword, ushering Edward out and locking the door before heading out the side door and heading for the apple tree Dec 05 17:06:07 * Edward strolls through the estate comfortably, very familiar and at ease here Dec 05 17:09:06 * Morgan goes directly to the tree, looking up at it Dec 05 17:10:32 *There’s no apples at the moment Dec 05 17:10:39 * Edward looks at it Dec 05 17:10:52 It looks healthy Dec 05 17:11:41 * Morgan nods, pulling down the apple and handing it over Dec 05 17:13:07 * Edward takes it, rubbing it on his sleeve Dec 05 17:14:01 * Morgan puts his hand on the trunk of the tree, watching his brother Dec 05 17:17:51 * Edward bites it, chewing before nodding Dec 05 17:21:28 You recall Dekker having a tree of this species? Dec 05 17:21:42 * Edward shakes his head, swallowing Dec 05 17:21:52 No, definitely not Dec 05 17:23:07 I want you to understand something... you've seen some of what I can do... when we say Florrie can make flowers grow.... its the same as saying I can make an explosion, a gross understatement... Dec 05 17:24:02 * Edward nods, looking at the tree Dec 05 17:24:05 she made this? Dec 05 17:24:10 * Morgan nods Dec 05 17:24:26 Its... close to the limits of what she can do... but she will only get stronger Dec 05 17:26:04 * Edward nods Dec 05 17:26:29 what are you saying, brother? Dec 05 17:28:06 That she is more amazing than even I realised. This wiped her out, she needed to sleep after it, or did until I showed her how to use the dracheneisen shard... I imagine one day she'll be able to raise orchards without so much as blinking Dec 05 17:29:04 * Edward nods, just looking at the tree Dec 05 17:32:01 * Morgan looks up at the tree Dec 05 17:34:34 I have come to a decision. I am concerned that, if overtures were made to having Florrie here more often, even inadvertently, Alice might feel concerned that their living arrangements are something we could use as leverage. She's already said that her staying on the island depends on me... if I decide I want the house back, or sell the island... Dec 05 17:35:26 * Edward nods Dec 05 17:35:35 She is fiercely independent Dec 05 17:35:50 * Morgan nods Dec 05 17:36:24 She captains her own ship and is, unconsciously perhaps, worried we will try to ground it. I'm going to remove that concern Dec 05 17:38:17 how? Dec 05 17:38:25 I'm giving her the house. Dec 05 17:41:56 * Edward nods Dec 05 17:42:43 I see, brother Dec 05 17:43:36 * Morgan nods Dec 05 17:44:26 Atop that, I will not accept anything from you towards it, should you decide you wish to. Dec 05 17:46:16 * Edward frowns Dec 05 17:46:25 No, I am not happy with that. Dec 05 17:46:55 * Morgan nods, moving to his brother and hugging him firmly for a moment before holding him at arms length Dec 05 17:48:24 She might see it that you are trying to buy favour... I will not allow the damage that will cause for your relationship with your daughter. Do you understand? Dec 05 17:48:37 I appreciate your view Dec 05 17:49:28 You object to not being the one to provide for your daughter Dec 05 17:50:31 wouldn’t you? Dec 05 17:50:48 * Morgan nods Dec 05 17:51:11 Absolutely. But what good is that if it sets back your progress with her? Dec 05 17:55:32 * Edward has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 05 17:58:51 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Dec 05 17:59:02 I appreciate your view Dec 05 17:59:03 You object to not being the one to provide for your daughter Dec 05 17:59:03 wouldn’t you? Dec 05 17:59:03 * Morgan nods Dec 05 17:59:03 Absolutely. But what good is that if it sets back your progress with her? Dec 05 17:59:03 * Molly is now known as Edward Dec 05 17:59:28 * Edward eats another bite of the apple before saying Dec 05 17:59:43 It is something to work through in the weeks ahead Dec 05 18:00:40 You have a trust for Florrie... Dec 05 18:03:40 Yes, I have started one, and my Will includes her. I have nominated you and Molly should Alice and I both die Dec 05 18:03:54 * Morgan nods Dec 05 18:04:37 So... put extra into it. I'm not providing for Florrie... I'm giving my friend a place of security so she can help her daughter know her father without worry. Dec 05 18:07:42 I will consider it. Dec 05 18:08:14 Or perhaps... view it as a gift to you Dec 05 18:08:55 * Morgan tilts his head, nodding slightly Dec 05 18:09:24 A token of my gratitude for helping me become who I am, for giving me the guidance to get my ship out of the shallows Dec 05 18:10:37 * Edward looks serious, and it’s so much like Adalbrecht’s serious expression Dec 05 18:11:10 I am still not certain, but I do appreciate your generosity Dec 05 18:12:10 It is not generosity. *he sighs* you save me from myself, Edward... Dec 05 18:13:31 * Edward at him Dec 05 18:13:52 I fail to see how. I made you the worst version of yourself. Dec 05 18:16:24 You did at one time, but lets not pretend I am innocent in that. You faced something you should not have had to at such a young age. My holding onto it was going to drive Molly from me... I would be alone now if not for you... if you hadn't worked so hard with me to be as we are -meant- to be. Dec 05 18:17:58 * Edward nods a little Dec 05 18:18:48 I am not sure she would have gone so quickly, but she deserved a ecstatic marriage, not just an okay one Dec 05 18:19:34 Yes, she does. And she has one now, because you didn't shrink for that challenge. God knows it would've been reasonable for you to choose not to... Dec 05 18:20:14 why? Dec 05 18:21:31 That level of involvement, given our past, could easily have been a point I would not accept. If a dog bites you, you don't put your hand near its mouth again... Dec 05 18:22:12 we have both had time to grow up Dec 05 18:22:56 indeed... but it was a risk nonetheless. Dec 05 18:23:27 it was a risk you took also, brother Dec 05 18:24:30 Perhaps. Dec 05 18:33:47 * Edward nods Dec 05 18:33:57 Why did they not stop me? Dec 05 18:34:30 Who? Dec 05 18:34:39 The Nibelungen Dec 05 18:36:07 Because what they call the convergence is -all- they care about. If it were not, Molly's sister would not have drowned. Besides... I've seen a path where Molly got murdered... they couldn't stop that. Dec 05 18:38:02 * Edward nods Dec 05 18:38:51 I suppose one could argue that about Theus also. Why did he not present other avenues even when I prayed on it so much? Dec 05 18:39:29 It is something I still struggle with. Dec 05 18:41:22 * Edward nods Dec 05 18:42:00 It is difficult Dec 05 18:42:44 * Morgan nods Dec 05 18:42:46 Yes, it is Dec 05 18:46:49 /me eats another bite of the apple before offering it to Morgan Dec 05 18:47:08 * Morgan takes it, biting it Dec 05 19:01:19 If He wanted us to know, He would tell us Dec 05 19:01:43 * Morgan shrugs Dec 05 19:01:45 Doesn't make it right Dec 05 19:02:05 * Edward shrugs Dec 05 19:02:25 will Alice be at dinner? Dec 05 19:03:08 Yes, she will Dec 05 19:04:07 I imagine you’ll want see her, check on her Dec 05 19:04:26 What a polite way of telling me to bugger off Dec 05 19:05:29 * Edward laughs Dec 05 19:05:40 We are beyond that, brother Dec 05 19:06:41 * Morgan nods Dec 05 19:08:01 I would tell you to go and be useful somewhere, as Father does Dec 05 19:08:24 * Morgan nods before looking a little sad Dec 05 19:09:16 It'll be well but... I never thought I'd see that anger again... or feel his mistrust... Dec 05 19:09:33 * Edward nods, hugging Morgan Dec 05 19:13:17 * Morgan leans his face to Edwards shoulder Dec 05 19:13:20 I had to tell Jarvie... Dec 05 19:13:32 About mine, that is Dec 05 19:15:57 * Edward smells of expensive cologne Dec 05 19:16:21 Was she more curious than horrified? Dec 05 19:16:36 It was like I'd told her I have freckles Dec 05 19:19:01 * Edward nods Dec 05 19:19:36 Jarvie has always been... quirky. If anything, she should have been a Hockridge, not a Koertig Dec 05 19:19:51 * Morgan nods Dec 05 19:19:59 Uinise described her as 'normal' Dec 05 19:23:59 * Edward laughs Dec 05 19:24:06 Normal?! Dec 05 19:24:21 She'd fit in in Capperlucia Dec 05 19:24:31 * Morgan lets go of Edward Dec 05 19:25:07 * Edward nods Dec 05 19:25:21 Father is hard to please, I know Dec 05 19:25:28 * Morgan nods Dec 05 19:25:43 It must be terrifying for him... its why I wasn't pushy like I can be Dec 05 19:27:22 * Edward nods Dec 05 19:27:35 You can be very bossy Dec 05 19:28:01 * Morgan nods Dec 05 19:28:22 Sometimes people have to be pushed to see things. Dec 05 19:29:40 * Edward nods Dec 05 19:29:56 That is something we do have in common Dec 05 19:31:03 * Morgan nods Dec 05 19:31:06 Indeed we do. Dec 05 19:33:14 Father will come round Dec 05 19:34:20 * Morgan nods Dec 05 19:34:40 I hope so. He needs to get used to the idea of magic before there are even more children Dec 05 19:35:06 * Edward smiles Dec 05 19:35:15 He hasn’t got long! Dec 05 19:35:40 No, not at all... and this one's ability has already started to manifest Dec 05 19:37:23 what is it? Dec 05 19:37:41 Ask Molly to hide from you when she gets back... in a small room Dec 05 19:38:02 why would that work? Dec 05 19:38:09 * Morgan smiles Dec 05 19:38:10 Trust me Dec 05 19:40:35 * Edward nods Dec 05 19:40:56 I am sure you will be looking forward to her return Dec 05 19:41:02 * Morgan nods Dec 05 19:41:22 So much... we've barely spent any time together since we got home Dec 05 19:41:32 * Edward nods Dec 05 19:42:20 You always seem separated by circumstances, though you warned me that you are like rabbits if you’re in a house together any decent length of time Dec 05 19:42:50 * Morgan blushes Dec 05 19:42:52 Indeed Dec 05 19:45:36 * Edward smiles Dec 05 19:46:08 Just be careful, I do not relish explaining the birds and the bees to Father Dec 05 19:47:09 Well, see, when you want to have a baby the man has to plant a seed in the woman for it to grow.... Dec 05 19:48:41 * Edward chuckles Dec 05 19:49:09 I beg to differ. Dec 05 19:49:19 Oh? Dec 05 19:50:21 That is not how Florrie came into being Dec 05 19:50:37 A seed was planted and it grew Dec 05 19:50:51 Which, given her abilities, is the perfect explanation Dec 05 19:51:34 I think it’s more that a seed must have fallen out along the way, rather than being actively planted Dec 05 19:52:30 Might have a point there Dec 05 19:54:05 * Edward nods Dec 05 19:54:45 Apart from DeeDee, none of the others know Dec 05 19:55:38 * Morgan looks surprised Dec 05 19:55:44 Thats going to cause some questions Dec 05 19:57:31 * Edward nods Dec 05 19:57:59 I know, it seems cowardly, but I couldn’t put Mina through the scrutiny and pity when she is already suffering Dec 05 19:58:10 * Morgan nods Dec 05 19:58:14 understandable Dec 05 20:00:07 * Edward nods Dec 05 20:00:32 I will tell them, but my focus now is on Florrie, Alice, and Mina Dec 05 20:03:05 * Morgan nods Dec 05 20:03:19 I suppose... I'd best go check on Alice before dinner Dec 05 20:04:34 * Edward nods Dec 05 20:04:44 I’ll be in presently Dec 05 20:05:44 * Morgan nods Dec 05 20:05:51 Would you like me to lock your sword in my office? Dec 05 20:06:33 * Edward nods Dec 05 20:06:39 yes, thank you Dec 05 20:08:06 * Morgan nods, taking it from him, murmuring "got a dracheneisen sword" and wandering back to the house, to lock the swords away before going to find Alice Dec 05 20:13:28 * Edward is now known as Alice Dec 05 20:14:12 * Alice is coming out of the nursery when he gets there. She looks pretty, but not over done Dec 05 20:14:21 You look lovely Dec 05 20:15:51 I wondered if I might talk with you before dinner Dec 05 20:16:59 * Alice nods Dec 05 20:17:04 Of course Dec 05 20:17:37 * Morgan nods, leading her to the guest parlour Dec 05 20:19:32 * Alice looks around before taking a seat Dec 05 20:19:38 I something wrong? Dec 05 20:19:40 is* Dec 05 20:21:38 No, no, not at all... just... what you said about living on the island depending on me... it made me think about how... insecure that must feel Dec 05 20:23:22 Not as much as you’d think. Dec 05 20:23:38 No? Dec 05 20:25:44 I trust you, Morgan. Also, I have started establishing a community again on the island. In a year or two, that will bring you income Dec 05 20:27:15 * Morgan nods, leaning against the door Dec 05 20:28:50 I suppose... I'm concerned that you might feel that your life there could or might be... leveraged... Dec 05 20:29:37 I don’t think you ever would. You love Florrie too much Dec 05 20:31:46 I do... I would not blame you if you did worry that... coming here is a big step, and it is understandable that Edward will want more time with Florrie Dec 05 20:35:11 * Alice nods Dec 05 20:35:36 I don’t fell that pressure will come from you, even though he is your brother Dec 05 20:36:08 * Morgan smiles Dec 05 20:36:25 You understand that I will advocate for whatever I think is best for Florrie? Dec 05 20:39:59 Even if that was moving to Eisen? Dec 05 20:40:26 I would not force the issue, of course, but that is the advice I would give if I felt it best for her Dec 05 20:43:11 * Alice nods Dec 05 20:43:28 I don’t think that’s best for her Dec 05 20:44:31 * Morgan shrugs Dec 05 20:45:55 I don't know. Things are too unsettled to really understand the impact of it if you moved here. Dec 05 20:47:41 I don’t want to Dec 05 20:48:05 * Morgan nods Dec 05 20:48:08 I know love Dec 05 20:49:16 * Alice nods Dec 05 20:49:39 is Edward planning to push me? Dec 05 20:51:00 God no. He just wants to be in Florries life. It'll pain him being so far apart, as it will me, but our interests are entirely her wellbeing. From a selfish point of view, I'd like you both in Eisen... I love having you both near enough to actually see, you know? Dec 05 20:53:58 * Alice nods Dec 05 20:54:09 I do Dec 05 20:54:29 * Morgan nods Dec 05 20:55:50 It will not affect my counsel, though Dec 05 20:56:22 thanks Dec 05 20:57:10 You are always welcome here, -wanted- here. Dec 05 20:58:18 * Alice smiles Dec 05 20:58:47 thank you, Morgan. You don’t owe me anything Dec 05 20:59:36 Perhaps not. But we are family and we love you and Florrie. Dec 05 21:01:06 I had no idea that sleeping with the charming man with the broken nose would give me a loving, non-judgemental family Dec 05 21:01:37 * Morgan beams, moving to hug her Dec 05 21:01:46 * Alice stands to hug him Dec 05 21:03:23 I would like to ask... why you do not want to live in Eisen... is it the weather? Its the rain isn't it Dec 05 21:05:11 * Alice laughs Dec 05 21:05:34 it’s all the blonde pretty men, I prefer brunettes. Dec 05 21:05:52 * Morgan chuckles Dec 05 21:08:56 I just like Avalon, and the sea Dec 05 21:09:05 * Morgan nods Dec 05 21:09:09 Me too... Dec 05 21:10:31 * Alice nods Dec 05 21:10:52 Is he nervous? Dec 05 21:11:05 * Morgan nods Dec 05 21:11:25 He wasn't pleased when I told him he had to wait til tomorrow but he accepted its for the best Dec 05 21:13:27 * Alice nods Dec 05 21:13:48 I think it”s better if he and I meet without her too Dec 05 21:13:57 * Morgan nods Dec 05 21:14:06 He'll be at dinner... it'll just be the four of us Dec 05 21:15:40 * Alice nods Dec 05 21:16:16 It’s almost time Dec 05 21:16:29 * Morgan nods Dec 05 21:17:06 Then I'll get to the reason I came... Dec 05 21:18:59 Its occurred to me that if I say I believe it best for Florrie to be here more often or permanently, or, just because I want the two of you around, there is pressure there put on you by the person who owns your home... Dec 05 21:19:36 * Alice nods Dec 05 21:19:37 yes Dec 05 21:20:05 That is not acceptable. I am going to make it so that is not a consideration you have to have Dec 05 21:21:40 alright? Dec 05 21:22:18 I'm transferring the ownership of the house to you Dec 05 21:23:40 * Alice looks surprised Dec 05 21:23:45 you don’t have to do that Dec 05 21:23:50 No, I know Dec 05 21:26:36 * Alice smiles Dec 05 21:26:39 thank you Dec 05 21:26:47 * Morgan nods Dec 05 21:27:20 My advice will only be in Florries best interests as I see it, you have my word Dec 05 21:29:25 * Alice nods, smiling Dec 05 21:29:34 I believe you Dec 05 21:29:47 * Morgan nods Dec 05 21:29:53 May I escort you to dinner? Dec 05 21:31:08 * Alice nods Dec 05 21:31:11 you may Dec 05 21:34:26 * Morgan offers his arm, waiting until they're walking before speaking again Dec 05 21:34:32 I have a stipulation with the house Dec 05 21:36:13 yes? Dec 05 21:36:58 If you should marry, when you pass even if your spouse is still alive, the house is hers. Dec 05 21:38:43 * Alice nods Dec 05 21:38:51 I’ll see to that Dec 05 21:39:13 * Morgan nods Dec 05 21:39:26 My mother and father know about Florries abilities... Dec 05 21:42:55 Are they going to be hostile? Dec 05 21:43:30 No. I gave my father something bigger to be unhappy about and made it clear none of us will tolerate any... nonsense. Dec 05 21:44:51 * Alice nods Dec 05 21:45:14 Are they keen to meet her? Dec 05 21:45:31 * Morgan nods Dec 05 21:45:48 My mother especially... she's Avalonian so the magic hasn't phased her at all Dec 05 21:48:04 * Alice nods Dec 05 21:48:15 Florrie doesn’t harm anyone Dec 05 21:49:16 She could defend herself quite easily... Dec 05 21:51:14 I’m not sure how Dec 05 21:51:24 * Morgan smiles Dec 05 21:51:32 Ever fallen into a thicket of thorns? Dec 05 21:54:04 * Alice nods Dec 05 21:54:09 Point taken Dec 05 21:54:48 * Morgan nods Dec 05 21:55:24 And that stuff is strong too Dec 05 21:56:50 * Alice nods Dec 05 21:57:38 She’d need some seeds to start though Dec 05 21:57:48 For now Dec 05 22:00:01 * Alice nods Dec 05 22:02:00 who knows what will happen when she’s older Dec 05 22:02:38 I know she will be deeply, -profoundly- loved by her family Dec 05 22:04:41 * Alice nods Dec 05 22:05:09 I hope so. I won’t put her in the position of being ostracised because she doesn’t fit. Dec 05 22:05:48 * Morgan smiles a little Dec 05 22:05:58 All of my children will have some sort of magic Dec 05 22:08:04 * Alice nods Dec 05 22:08:12 because you both do? Dec 05 22:08:49 * Morgan shrugs Dec 05 22:09:12 Edward doesn't, you don't, so that assumption doesn't hold true Dec 05 22:11:10 * Alice nods Dec 05 22:11:25 Do you mind it? Dec 05 22:12:00 It is something I have grown used to... my time in Avalon made it a little easier, though even now sometimes I wish it was something else Dec 05 22:14:17 * Alice nods Dec 05 22:14:43 what will your children’s be able to do? Dec 05 22:15:31 Varick can speak to animals... and when he's older he will be able to shape shift... one will be able to hide in plain sight... another will have power over water... aside from that I'm not sure Dec 05 22:16:52 * Alice nods Dec 05 22:17:00 how do you know already? Dec 05 22:17:27 One of my... quirks... is I have dreams that give me minor insight Dec 05 22:19:19 * Alice nods Dec 05 22:19:30 is it useful? Dec 05 22:20:18 Sometimes, yes, very. Saved the Rose from an awful collision because of it... Dec 05 22:22:53 * Alice nods Dec 05 22:23:06 Do you miss her? Dec 05 22:23:15 The Rose? Dec 05 22:25:59 * Alice nods Dec 05 22:26:12 * Morgan nods, sighing Dec 05 22:26:14 Aye, I do Dec 05 22:27:52 * Alice nods I miss the Blessing too Dec 05 22:28:25 * Morgan nods Dec 05 22:28:39 Do you miss it even when you're at home? Dec 05 22:29:21 * Alice nods Dec 05 22:29:22 Always Dec 05 22:30:59 * Morgan nods Dec 05 22:31:03 That makes me feel a little better Dec 05 22:33:02 * Alice nods, giving him a gentle smiles Dec 05 22:33:10 Mariner’s Curse Dec 05 22:33:47 * Morgan nods Dec 05 22:34:20 Yeah... Dec 05 22:36:28 it’s just how it is. I don’t miss the fish or the workload Dec 05 22:37:00 I sort of do... but before long I'll have as much, if a different type, of work here Dec 05 22:39:05 * Alice nods Dec 05 22:39:12 less fish though Dec 05 22:39:26 * Morgan nods Dec 05 22:39:30 That is a benefit of it Dec 05 22:41:39 * Alice nods, they get to the top of the stairs Dec 05 22:42:05 I know we’ve been speaking for months, but I still don’t know how to handle this Dec 05 22:42:32 * Morgan nods Dec 05 22:42:58 Its a difficult situation. But he loves Florrie. Thats the place to start. Dec 05 22:44:33 * Alice nods Dec 05 22:49:19 It’ll get easier after this first meeting Dec 05 22:49:38 * Morgan nods Dec 05 22:49:40 I imagine so Dec 05 22:51:37 * Alice nods, going with him towards the breakfast room where they commonly eat nowadays Dec 05 23:12:26 * Alice has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 05 23:55:06 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
