Feb 01 19:47:49 He's feeling sore at being, as he put it, lambasted Feb 01 19:50:02 * Molly nods Feb 01 19:50:21 no one likes to have the failings pointed out publicly, do they? Feb 01 19:50:30 No... they don't Feb 01 19:51:52 * Molly takes a cloth from her pocket and dusts over the writing table idly Feb 01 19:51:58 does he need me? Feb 01 19:52:19 No, he's gone to put a smile on Minas face Feb 01 19:52:30 * Molly smiles Feb 01 19:52:41 oh really? how might he do that? Feb 01 19:52:58 No idea Feb 01 19:53:11 * Molly nods Feb 01 19:53:28 Are you feeling troubled that he is upset? Feb 01 19:54:03 Not especially... he's less upset now than before I went out there Feb 01 19:54:41 * Molly smiles Feb 01 19:55:00 That’s good. I will take anything that leads to you being more at ease Feb 01 19:55:22 * Morgan nods Feb 01 19:55:38 I need to see Alice... I don't know if HeinzHarold gave her any warning of what he was up to Feb 01 19:56:48 He did, my love, but if you need to go... Feb 01 19:57:09 In a minute Feb 01 19:58:33 * Molly smiles, opening her arms “You need comfort, my love?” Feb 01 19:59:15 Not exactly Feb 01 19:59:22 * Morgan moves to her, wrapping his arms around her Feb 01 20:01:56 * Molly holds him close, cheek on his chest Feb 01 20:04:06 * Morgan sighs contentedly Feb 01 20:04:19 That is what you needed? Feb 01 20:04:32 Yes, it was Feb 01 20:05:46 * Molly nods. Her hair smells very good, the roots of it being one of the places he can notice it most clearly Feb 01 20:08:56 That is -much- better Feb 01 20:09:52 * Molly nods, gently stroking his lower back Feb 01 20:09:57 yes, this is nice Feb 01 20:11:03 * Morgan nods, kissing her crown Feb 01 20:13:43 * Molly sighs happily, moving to gently kiss his neck Feb 01 20:15:13 Don't be starting something we can't finish Feb 01 20:15:26 * Molly giggles Feb 01 20:15:37 would I do such a thing? Feb 01 20:15:44 Yes, you would Feb 01 20:18:29 * Molly smiles against his skin, repeating something he said to her before they were married “Sometimes the anticipation can be just as exhilarating...” Feb 01 20:19:08 * Morgan shivers slightly Feb 01 20:21:44 * Molly gently licks his skin Feb 01 20:24:25 Alright, I think I'll take myself out of this situation before it gets out of hand Feb 01 20:26:58 * Molly nods, pulling away gently Feb 01 20:27:06 Alright, my love Feb 01 20:27:30 I don't imagine I'll be long Feb 01 20:29:11 No, I’ll let you know if he arrives Feb 01 20:29:30 * Morgan nods, kissing her suddenly before pulling away Feb 01 20:29:33 See you soon... Feb 01 20:30:32 * Molly smiles, looking a little surprised Feb 01 20:30:40 uh yes, I’ll be here! Feb 01 20:31:42 * Morgan nods, wandering off to go find Alice Feb 01 20:31:50 * Molly is now known as Alice Feb 01 20:32:03 * Alice is in the nursery with Florrie Feb 01 20:32:17 ... and what do you say? Feb 01 20:32:29 F: Please and thank you. Feb 01 20:33:01 Hey Feb 01 20:33:41 * Alice smiles Feb 01 20:33:56 is everything alright? Feb 01 20:34:17 * Morgan nods Feb 01 20:34:23 I think so love... you pair alright? Feb 01 20:35:07 F: I going to see Vati and shoe lady Feb 01 20:38:35 Are you? Thats good Feb 01 20:41:11 why don’t you get Aspen’s clothes ready to show them? Feb 01 20:41:24 *Florrie nods, going to do so* Feb 01 20:43:01 * Morgan watches her go, smiling before speaking quietly Feb 01 20:43:09 We weren't sure if you wanted me to be around with them Feb 01 20:45:02 I don’t think I need you to be, but what do you think? Feb 01 20:45:19 * Morgan smiles Feb 01 20:45:41 You've all come a long way. No... I think it'd be a good idea to let them have time together Feb 01 20:47:27 * Alice nods Feb 01 20:48:23 I think you’re right. I trust Edward with Florrie’s life Feb 01 20:49:56 Mina bears her no ill will... but I think we all understand each others positions Feb 01 20:52:07 * Alice nods Feb 01 20:52:33 I think maybe we are at a truce now? Feb 01 20:53:07 I think so, yes Feb 01 20:57:06 * Alice nods Feb 01 20:57:17 It was uncomfortable but worth it Feb 01 20:58:32 * Morgan nods Feb 01 20:58:35 I'm glad you feel so Feb 01 21:01:10 what do you think? Feb 01 21:04:26 I don't know... Mina seems more... at ease. Edwards having a few issues but he'll get over it Feb 01 21:11:58 * Alice nods Feb 01 21:12:43 I’m sorry he is, but I didn’t think me defend8ng him would have gone well Feb 01 21:13:14 No... Feb 01 21:14:31 * Alice smiles “Is the priest still not here?” Feb 01 21:15:18 No... so far he hasn't managed to be on time Feb 01 21:16:53 * Alice nods Feb 01 21:17:21 We’re fine, you don’t need to worry Feb 01 21:19:00 I would like to spend some time with the little lady soon though... Feb 01 21:19:15 * Alice nods Feb 01 21:19:21 whenever you like Feb 01 21:21:27 What are you going to do while she's with her father and... Mina... Feb 01 21:22:19 I thought I’d borrow a horse and go for a ride, if that’s alright? Feb 01 21:22:42 * Morgan thinks a moment before nodding Feb 01 21:22:50 Don't even consider taking Xantha Feb 01 21:28:47 * Alice smiles “He’s a bit big for me anyway” Feb 01 21:29:13 He's a bit big for most and a -lot- aggro for everyone Feb 01 21:29:44 * Alice nods Feb 01 21:30:00 Just one of your carriage horses will be fine Feb 01 21:30:50 They're not mine, so have a care with them... they should be fine, Graf Maubourg doesn't like lively animals Feb 01 21:33:34 * Alice nods Feb 01 21:33:44 Thank you Feb 01 21:34:02 * Morgan nods Feb 01 21:34:26 Of course. Will you want someone to accompany you? Feb 01 21:34:56 * Alice shakes her head Feb 01 21:35:15 I don’t need anyone, I’ll stay on your land Feb 01 21:35:34 * Morgan nods Feb 01 21:35:49 Well, there's plenty of that to muck about in Feb 01 21:35:57 * Morgan looks just a little awestruck Feb 01 21:36:14 are you pleased with it now you’ve had more time to look around? Feb 01 21:36:32 * Morgan nods Feb 01 21:36:39 Still doesn't feel like my home though Feb 01 21:37:50 why not? Feb 01 21:37:57 * Morgan shrugs Feb 01 21:38:18 I don't know yet... Edward knows everyone here, has spent a long time here, as have all his friends... Feb 01 21:38:23 I feel a bit like an intruder Feb 01 21:38:40 That’s difficult Feb 01 21:38:44 * Morgan nods Feb 01 21:38:47 Yes, it is Feb 01 21:41:05 It doesn’t help that you’ve been in and out so much Feb 01 21:42:31 No... but.. it was necessary Feb 01 21:43:45 We’ll be leaving after the baptisms for Innesbruck for the wedding, won’t we? Feb 01 21:43:53 * Morgan nods Feb 01 21:43:58 To my other house... Feb 01 21:45:58 * Alice nods Feb 01 21:46:19 It sounds like a burden, I’m glad I could help by taking one off your hands. Feb 01 21:47:34 * Morgan smiles Feb 01 21:50:00 I don't really need to worry about any of them... you've got the island well in hand, Heinrich does a good job as overseer in Innesbruck... Feb 01 21:51:36 * Alice nods Feb 01 21:52:26 Maybe what you need is time here with no visitors, just you, Molly, and the children Feb 01 21:52:40 Thats unlikely any time soon Feb 01 21:55:08 * Alice nods Feb 01 21:55:48 We’ll get out of your hair once we’ve spent a few days in Sudlachenburg Feb 01 21:55:57 * Morgan looks sad Feb 01 21:55:59 You don't have to Feb 01 21:56:33 I have things to see to, and you need time with your family Feb 01 21:56:54 * Morgan nods, sighing Feb 01 21:58:33 [Reverned Loewe is here... Oh the compromising position he might have found us in!] Feb 01 22:00:54 I'd best get on, I think the reverend has arrived Feb 01 22:01:08 * Alice nods Feb 01 22:01:21 I’ll see you at lunch Feb 01 22:01:43 * Morgan nods Feb 01 22:01:45 Alright love Feb 01 22:02:48 * Alice lets him out Feb 01 22:53:56 * Alice has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Feb 01 23:03:21 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
