Jan 04 19:26:29 * Morgan nods Jan 04 19:26:31 When I was captured. That was supposed to be the end of me. Sewed it up after I escaped with the cord I use for my coat Jan 04 19:26:33 It was lucky you avoided an infection Jan 04 19:26:35 Extremely Jan 04 19:27:00 The world apparently wants you alive Jan 04 19:27:06 * Molly is now known as Edward Jan 04 19:27:19 * Morgan shrugs Jan 04 19:27:24 Theus has a task for me to complete Jan 04 19:28:17 * Edward nods Jan 04 19:28:50 Many would think you fortunate to be called to serve Him Jan 04 19:29:22 Many could spend years bearing nightmares and facing monsters and be asked if they still thought that Jan 04 19:32:28 that would depend on their faith, i think Jan 04 19:32:42 * Morgan shrugs Jan 04 19:33:14 Once they have felt abandoned by Him, I think their view would align with mine Jan 04 19:34:45 why would He abandon you if He requires your service now? Jan 04 19:35:06 * Morgan shrugs Jan 04 19:35:21 But thats what he did Jan 04 19:37:16 I do not think we will be able to resolve this difference in opinion Jan 04 19:37:44 You do not think he abandoned me... Jan 04 19:38:50 I do not know. He works in ways I cannot fathom Jan 04 19:40:26 * Morgan nods, rubbing absently at the scars on one forearm Jan 04 19:42:27 * Edward stands up Jan 04 19:42:59 If you’ll excuse me, I want to be the one to wake Florrie Jan 04 19:43:15 * Morgan nods Jan 04 19:43:18 Are we alright?

I imagine you’ve found much to do when not restricted by Quiet Hour, though I confessed I hoped to see you. Our travel is smooth, and Emil is spending much time wanting to walk around with us holding his hands. I do not think it will be long before he does so alone. we shall see which of your sons makes his milestone movement first, hmm? Perhaps we will speak tonight? I really am at your leisure! my love, MK xx Jan 04 19:53:33 * Morgan sighs, taking up some paper "I'm sorry my love, Edward had expressed a desire to get a proper look at my scarring and it seemed important. I will make sure I am around after nine thirty tonight to talk. I miss you all terribly. Edward sends his love to Mina. All my love" Jan 04 19:54:12 *nothing changes* Jan 04 19:54:31 * Morgan packs it away, checking the mirror for HeinzHarold Jan 04 19:55:28 *it says: All fine, no boars.* Jan 04 19:55:53 "I reckon it'll be the return journey. Stay safe, my love to Varick" Jan 04 19:56:58 *nothing changes here either.
