I was so shocked I practically threw myself off the bed in surprise Dec 13 20:10:38 * Edward chuckles Dec 13 20:10:38 At firs tI thought maybe she had kept it from me, to surprise me... then she thought I was saying she needed to bathe... I ended up having to tell her she should use her ability to check herself over Dec 13 20:10:38 * Edward nods Dec 13 20:10:38 I know discussions have been had about how one tells a husband they are increasing, and Molly had been adamant that you do not hide it Dec 13 20:10:41 * Morgan nods Dec 13 20:14:41 She was as stunned by it as I was Dec 13 20:14:49 Mina has something more romantic in mind, I believe Dec 13 20:14:57 Oh yes? Dec 13 20:15:58 * Edward smiles Dec 13 20:16:21 She will not tell me the details. I will have to wait and see Dec 13 20:16:40 * Morgan nods Dec 13 20:17:59 Was it a treasured moment? Dec 13 20:18:20 * Morgan nods Dec 13 20:18:45 She, at my request, altered my hearing... I could hear the heartbeat... Dec 13 20:20:30 * Edward looks impressed Dec 13 20:20:35 how was that? Dec 13 20:20:45 * Morgan smiles Dec 13 20:21:25 Once she was far enough along, I did that with Dietlinde... I could wile away hours listening to that sound, and I fully intend to this time as well Dec 13 20:22:47 * Edward nods Dec 13 20:23:20 You will be joined at the hip with Molly all summer? Dec 13 20:23:34 * Morgan sighs Dec 13 20:23:40 Unfortunately no... I will have work to do Dec 13 20:25:53 You can hire people to do the work, you can never get that time with your child back Dec 13 20:26:25 Its more preparing to take over... there are a great many worried people here Dec 13 20:28:03 Where is your man Karlsruhe? Dec 13 20:28:58 Busy making it known I won't tolerate any bullshit from the objectionists here Dec 13 20:29:50 * Edward nods Dec 13 20:30:13 It is important, of course. Dec 13 20:31:21 I'm hoping to put some minds at rest at the party, but that won't help the common folk much Dec 13 20:32:25 No, but make sure your marriage is also a priority Dec 13 20:33:19 * Morgan nods Dec 13 20:35:17 How is Molly doing with comparing herself now? Dec 13 20:35:40 better... our time in Graben was definitely a turning point for that Dec 13 20:37:20 * Edward nods Dec 13 20:38:02 good. this new situation you find yourselves in brings new opportunities for her to do so, that is all Dec 13 20:38:13 * Morgan nods Dec 13 20:38:17 I will keep it in mind Dec 13 20:39:24 * Edward nods Dec 13 20:39:53 Complicated creatures, aren’t they? Dec 13 20:40:48 Women? Absolutely Dec 13 20:40:57 * Edward nods Dec 13 20:41:16 I found them quite easy, until I owned one Dec 13 20:42:04 Not a phrase I'm particularly fond of... Dec 13 20:47:07 * Edward has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 13 21:02:11 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Dec 13 21:02:18 * Molly is now known as Edward Dec 13 21:04:25 Complicated creatures, aren’t they? Dec 13 21:04:25 Women? Absolutely Dec 13 21:04:25 * Edward nods Dec 13 21:04:25 I found them quite easy, until I owned one Dec 13 21:04:25 Not a phrase I'm particularly fond of... Dec 13 21:05:20 * Edward smiles faintly “No, it’s not consistent with your values” Dec 13 21:05:34 No... Dec 13 21:08:51 * Edward nods Dec 13 21:09:02 Rest assured, my wife would not be offended Dec 13 21:09:10 No? Dec 13 21:09:50 She doesn’t mind expressions of how she belongs to me Dec 13 21:10:03 She and Molly have that in common I think Dec 13 21:11:45 * Edward nods Dec 13 21:12:09 I am unsurprised by that Dec 13 21:12:27 whyso? Dec 13 21:13:24 They are both good at putting on a public face, but at their depths like to be looked after Dec 13 21:13:56 I suppose so Dec 13 21:15:53 That is how I prefer women Dec 13 21:16:07 * Morgan nods Dec 13 21:17:12 I, of course, am completely conventional... Dec 13 21:17:37 * Edward smiles faintly “are you?” Dec 13 21:17:59 That is the commonly held belief... Dec 13 21:19:46 * Edward nods Dec 13 21:19:52 looks can be deceiving Dec 13 21:20:21 * Morgan shrugs Dec 13 21:20:36 Stef thought rather differently Dec 13 21:22:12 * Edward nods “I get the feeling her quietness belies a rather more colourful character” Dec 13 21:24:11 Her quietness is a result of trauma... though since she and Colonel Fuchs have admitted and embraced their feelings for eachother, she seems less unsettled by loud noises Dec 13 21:24:29 * Edward nods Dec 13 21:24:42 I am glad to hear her pregnancy is going well Dec 13 21:24:59 * Morgan nods Dec 13 21:25:07 I pray it stays that way Dec 13 21:26:47 * Edward nods Dec 13 21:27:10 I believe she is due in July Dec 13 21:27:28 * Morgan nods Dec 13 21:29:15 All the best people are born in July Dec 13 21:30:27 You think so? Dec 13 21:31:04 Myself, Molly... Dec 13 21:31:25 Well, fifty percent hit rate isn't bad I suppose Dec 13 21:31:39 * Edward nods Dec 13 21:31:52 Mimi’s birthday is soon Dec 13 21:32:03 You have plans for it? Dec 13 21:33:27 Not yet. What date is Mattias’ baptism? ((May 3rd)) Dec 13 21:33:41 Third of may Dec 13 21:33:50 * Edward nods Dec 13 21:34:01 Her birthday is the fifth. Dec 13 21:35:04 * Morgan nods Dec 13 21:37:08 We will need to return to Graben before Zench’s wedding, we ought to leave after that christening Dec 13 21:37:26 * Morgan nods Dec 13 21:37:35 Its a lot of travelling Dec 13 21:39:08 * Edward nods Dec 13 21:39:32 Yes, and I believe we have a special task to see to during that time Dec 13 21:40:40 * Morgan nods Dec 13 21:40:41 Indeed Dec 13 21:42:06 Which will be a challenge when we are on the road for the week Dec 13 21:42:36 For some, perhaps Dec 13 21:44:11 * Edward smiles Dec 13 21:44:37 Yes, I recall you mentioning you’d have certain matters attended to before you even arrived in Innesbruck! Dec 13 21:44:55 Might have... Dec 13 21:45:54 Mimi is not yet agreeable to such Dec 13 21:47:04 * Morgan nods Dec 13 21:49:36 I haven’t tried to lead her in that direction, and I might never do so, but I like to keep my options open Dec 13 21:50:11 * Morgan nods Dec 13 21:50:14 To each their own Dec 13 21:51:25 * Edward nods Dec 13 21:52:11 Quite. She likes the lakehouse, and that is more than enough for now, we are in no rush Dec 13 21:52:38 * Morgan nods Dec 13 21:52:46 We're having something similar built here Dec 13 21:55:08 * Edward nods Dec 13 21:55:58 It’s practical for swimmers, but it is at its best when there is a good campfire and warmed up furs to settled down in inside Dec 13 21:56:34 * Morgan nods Dec 13 21:57:10 Our evening in there was wonderful... the water was just the right temperature, and the cabin felt... intimate... Dec 13 21:59:12 * Edward nods, smiling Dec 13 21:59:36 It’s our starry bedroom, Mimi says Dec 13 21:59:47 Thats nice Dec 13 22:01:03 * Edward nods Dec 13 22:01:43 The heavens up above, and the heavens down below... Dec 13 22:02:21 That is remarkably rude for you... Dec 13 22:02:42 Though Mina did tell me your letters after a while were just obscene Dec 13 22:03:36 * Edward laughs Dec 13 22:03:45 That came from her mouth, not mine Dec 13 22:04:01 You would not suggest she is untruthful I'm sure... Dec 13 22:05:22 I meant about the heavens. I have written her many such letters, and will continue to do so. It isn’t enough to just marry her, you have to keep wooing her Dec 13 22:05:44 Indeed you do Dec 13 22:07:57 If you need some help in that, brother, I will aid you Dec 13 22:08:07 * Morgan nods Dec 13 22:08:17 I know you will. We're alright for the time being Dec 13 22:11:03 * Edward nods Dec 13 22:11:33 I am glad your marriage is going well Dec 13 22:11:55 * Morgan nods Dec 13 22:11:58 Its had its trials so far Dec 13 22:14:17 Did you really think it would not though? Surely when you proposed you were aware of some of the challenges? Dec 13 22:15:27 Inga put it quite nicely... whenever Dietlinde or Jana were even hinted at, it was like a massive hole opened up between us, and we stepped around it so carefully to not upset the other that we didn't -say- anything Dec 13 22:15:41 Though... the nightmares weren't anything like as bad as they became Dec 13 22:17:36 * Edward nods Dec 13 22:17:49 I had noticed that Dec 13 22:18:01 * Morgan nods Dec 13 22:20:12 When I spent that time with Molly in Atemlos, it seemed very much like it was painful for her to have that distance Dec 13 22:20:33 * Morgan nods Dec 13 22:20:57 The nightmares were awful then too... Dec 13 22:22:07 * Edward nods Dec 13 22:22:22 But the nightmare trap seems to do nothing for you? Dec 13 22:23:29 No... I'm not getting nightmares really at the moment, so it could be but... it didn't before, so I'm disinclined to think it is now Dec 13 22:23:41 * Edward nods Dec 13 22:24:10 it is fortunate when Molly is not here Dec 13 22:24:28 * Morgan nods Dec 13 22:24:39 Normally I am under strict instructions to wake her if I have bad nightmares Dec 13 22:26:43 * Edward nods Dec 13 22:27:14 I have given Mina the same one Dec 13 22:27:25 She gets nightmares? Dec 13 22:28:52 * Edward nods Dec 13 22:28:56 On occassion Dec 13 22:29:06 * Morgan nods sadly Dec 13 22:30:29 * Edward smiles Dec 13 22:30:59 She often has a nightmare that is is in a courtly setting but has somehow ended up there nude Dec 13 22:31:53 Interesting... potentially less embarrassing than one I had not too long ago Dec 13 22:34:07 I think it speaks to her formal facade and the walls she builds. What was yours? Dec 13 22:34:57 Oh I completely agree... first I dreamed that our parents walked in on us while I was using my mouth upon Molly... the nightmare that followed that was doing it again, but demonstrating for our father... Dec 13 22:36:06 * Edward laughs Dec 13 22:36:23 I think I would expire on the spot! Dec 13 22:36:34 * Morgan nods Dec 13 22:36:37 indeed Dec 13 22:38:40 I would hope Father is not quite that clueless... Dec 13 22:41:05 I wouldn't like to speculate Dec 13 22:42:07 * Edward nods Dec 13 22:42:33 I am going to get ready for breakfast with Florrie and Alice Dec 13 22:43:02 * Morgan nods Dec 13 22:43:12 I'll be along shortly... Dec 13 22:45:46 My love to Mimi, if you are leaving a note Dec 13 22:46:07 * Morgan nods Dec 13 22:46:08 Of course Dec 13 22:47:45 * Edward nods, inclining his head before going towards the house Dec 13 22:52:42 * Edward has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 13 23:53:24 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
