**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Feb 14 19:38:07 2024 Feb 14 19:38:07 * Now talking on #7thsea Feb 14 19:38:13 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Feb 14 19:40:14 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Feb 14 19:40:24 HH: More like a gianthood, really Feb 14 19:40:24 * Morgan nods Feb 14 19:40:24 * Edward laughs “I wondered where I’d left that self-portrait!” Feb 14 19:40:24 Self portrait of a massive dick... sounds about right... Feb 14 19:40:24 HH grins at Morgan: Now I know he’s tryinna boast about his size, but that -does- sound a lot like he said he’s a massive dick. Feb 14 19:40:27 * Edward takes it with good grace, laughing “yes, I suppose it does” Feb 14 19:40:29 * Morgan chuckles Feb 14 19:40:46 * Molly is now known as Edward Feb 14 19:41:16 * Edward gently dismisses the two footmen so it’s just the three of them Feb 14 19:41:32 Are you seriously considering taking Molly to Capperlucia again? Feb 14 19:41:48 No Feb 14 19:42:07 How can you make a second trip then? Feb 14 19:42:29 I am capable of doing things on my own... Feb 14 19:42:45 *HH watches him too* You serious?! Feb 14 19:43:35 If his Grace insists upon it, what choice do I have? Feb 14 19:44:38 You cannot leave your pregnant wife for nearly three months. Feb 14 19:45:09 * Morgan closes his eyes, speaking evenly Feb 14 19:45:34 And what would the ramifications be, Edward, if I refused an Eisenfursts instructions? For me, for my Grafdoms? Feb 14 19:45:49 HH: He’d never ask that, surely? Feb 14 19:46:33 * Morgan shrugs Feb 14 19:46:36 I don't know Feb 14 19:47:17 You could miss the birth Feb 14 19:48:07 You haven't answered my question Feb 14 19:48:27 It doesn’t need answering, you already know. Feb 14 19:48:57 * Morgan nods Feb 14 19:50:31 HH: You talked to Molly about this? Feb 14 19:50:51 No, I haven't Feb 14 19:52:55 I think it is an awful idea and we should all encourage His Grace not to subject you to it Feb 14 19:53:19 HH smiles a little: She’s his wife, man, he’s gotta talk to her sometime Feb 14 19:54:04 * Edward smiles faintly “indeed” Feb 14 19:54:22 Its not like I -want- to go Feb 14 19:54:59 HH: Not without her an’ the kids, at least Feb 14 19:56:58 Even then... Feb 14 19:57:20 *HH nods thoughtfully * Got me more solution... Feb 14 19:57:24 one* Feb 14 19:57:37 Go on... Feb 14 19:57:53 HH: I go instead Feb 14 19:58:06 Nope Feb 14 19:59:14 HH: Make sense man. Go mid August, be back early November Feb 14 19:59:53 I appreciate it but... no, I'm not having you absent from your wife Feb 14 20:00:05 HH: Better me than you, man Feb 14 20:01:17 No, it isn't. Feb 14 20:03:08 HH: Yeah it is. You’re on a tight schedule. Feb 14 20:03:43 You assume his Grace would accept that Feb 14 20:05:01 HH: Mebbie Feb 14 20:05:18 You’re both assuming he won’t be compassionate Feb 14 20:05:54 We can hope... Feb 14 20:06:15 * Edward nods Feb 14 20:06:47 He’s a Father, he will understand the importance of not missing his child’s early days. Feb 14 20:07:22 *HH glances at Morgan $I actually feel a bit sorry for Edward$ Feb 14 20:07:31 $Because?$ Feb 14 20:09:33 We'll see Feb 14 20:09:44 $missed that with Florrie$ Feb 14 20:10:01 There’s little point worrying about it yet Feb 14 20:10:11 * Morgan nods a little Feb 14 20:12:34 How is Molly? Mina is still a little sensitive about it, so I do not want to ask her if she knows Feb 14 20:13:23 She is revelling in her condition Feb 14 20:13:51 * Edward smiles “I’m happy for her” Feb 14 20:15:22 * Morgan nods Feb 14 20:15:25 Not too long now Feb 14 20:15:44 it is going to seem like a very short pregnancy Feb 14 20:16:08 Thats not what I meant Feb 14 20:17:18 HH: Got a point though, missed all the early bit Feb 14 20:17:57 Yeah... I know Feb 14 20:18:29 What did you mean? Feb 14 20:18:59 I meant for Mina Feb 14 20:19:26 * Edward nods Feb 14 20:20:16 Yes, once she is no longer indisposed I will need to turn my energies to the succession Feb 14 20:21:07 $Romantic, right?$ Feb 14 20:21:25 You might want to refrain from putting it like that Feb 14 20:24:09 $Inga loves it when I get my succession energies all over her.$ Feb 14 20:24:50 * Edward smiles faintly “My wife is quite delicate when it comes to talking about reproduction” Feb 14 20:25:11 I was more thinking framing it romantically... Feb 14 20:25:34 $So I'm told$ Feb 14 20:25:46 It does not always have to be romantic, brother Feb 14 20:26:23 * Morgan shrugs Feb 14 20:26:25 Suit yourself Feb 14 20:29:32 * Edward nods Feb 14 20:30:08 I have given Mina no indication that it is supposed to be this month. If I do anything extremely romantic, she will be suspicious Feb 14 20:30:55 I just think it a cold way to describe it Feb 14 20:31:51 * Edward smiles faintly Feb 14 20:31:59 what would you prefer? Feb 14 20:32:15 HH: Banging her like a barn door in a storm... Feb 14 20:32:38 * Edward snorts, laughing Feb 14 20:34:25 * Morgan rolls his eyes, sipping his drink Feb 14 20:37:15 Better than to “shoot ‘twixt wind and water” Feb 14 20:39:39 *Hh creases up* That’s the worst one I’ve ever heard! Feb 14 20:41:04 That is pretty terrible Feb 14 20:41:47 * Edward nods Feb 14 20:42:13 I think the optimal days fall around Mimi’s birthday Feb 14 20:42:41 Convenient Feb 14 20:43:52 * Edward nods “However, we are due to travel home in that time” Feb 14 20:44:51 Thats unfortunate, given you are not the sort to dally in the open air Feb 14 20:45:07 HH: $unlike you$ Feb 14 20:45:52 I would not want my child conceived up against a tree Feb 14 20:46:09 * Morgan shrugs Feb 14 20:46:21 I wouldn't care, so long as it was conceived Feb 14 20:48:05 We haven’t ventured outdoors, it is not in Mina’s nature Feb 14 20:48:26 No, nor mine Feb 14 20:51:16 * Edward laughs “And yet...” Feb 14 20:52:26 Circumstance conspired against me Feb 14 20:53:10 HH: Yeah... Molly Circumstance Koertig. Feb 14 20:53:30 * Edward chuckles at this too, taking a mouthful of port Feb 14 20:54:01 * Morgan nods Feb 14 20:54:02 quite Feb 14 20:55:24 HH: She looks like such a good girl too Feb 14 20:56:03 She has a proclivity for breaking rules Feb 14 20:56:19 * Edward nods “Sometimes their looks can be deceiving” Feb 14 20:58:05 * Morgan nods Feb 14 20:58:07 Yes indeed Feb 14 21:01:35 Potts had a mistress once who gave all indications in looks and behaviours of being a complete minx in the bedroom, but she was apparently the most shy and prudish woman behind closed doors. She insisted he withdrew, sensibly, and then finished the job himself into a handkerchief she would hold out for him Feb 14 21:02:20 * Morgan sighs heavily Feb 14 21:02:37 Its called a wankerchief, you uncultured swine Feb 14 21:03:03 *HH cracks up, and Edward joins him* Feb 14 21:03:19 Was not intending to say that Feb 14 21:03:37 *they both are still laughing* Feb 14 21:03:58 HH: oh man! Feb 14 21:04:53 It sounds like you have plenty of experience with that, brother Feb 14 21:05:08 In all honesty, no... Feb 14 21:05:41 HH: The fuck did she do with them afterwards? Saved them for sentimental value? Feb 14 21:07:16 * Edward shrugs, giving Morgan a sly glance “You would have to ask Potts, though women are indeed strange creatures, so perhaps she did” Feb 14 21:11:12 I don't suppose she also took bits of hair from him... or nail trimmings... Feb 14 21:12:16 * Edward looks a little more serious than he ought “Do you think she might have been a witch?” Feb 14 21:12:51 Given that he isn't a toad or done anything completely out of character, I doubt it Feb 14 21:13:49 * Edward nods “though he has been without a mistress since October...” Feb 14 21:14:18 * Morgan shakes his head Feb 14 21:14:30 My understanding is that particular woman can put you off for quite a time Feb 14 21:16:12 * Edward nods “Yes, that is true” Feb 14 21:16:47 $If Potts tries his luck with Alice, I'll separate his head from his body$ Feb 14 21:16:57 Nothing to worry about Feb 14 21:17:14 Would it be worth forewarning him about her attendance? Feb 14 21:18:07 $yeah, though I reckon she’d benefit from a good night. With a proper man, like us, not Lord Pottymouth$ Feb 14 21:18:19 * Edward nods Feb 14 21:18:37 Perhaps. My concern is more their reaction to Florrie Feb 14 21:19:59 To her or to your not telling them? Feb 14 21:21:30 Either... both. Feb 14 21:23:22 * Morgan shrugs Feb 14 21:23:56 If they listen long enough to hear your reasoning, they'll likely understand Feb 14 21:25:25 HH: *he nods* Feb 14 21:26:24 * Edward sighs “As to Hannalore, I will warn Potts at the first opportunity” Feb 14 21:26:43 * Morgan nods Feb 14 21:28:17 I dread to think how she'll behave Feb 14 21:28:35 HH: Gonna tell Molly not to shove her in the lake? Feb 14 21:29:19 Wasn't planning to Feb 14 21:29:34 Is there a specific grievance between them? Feb 14 21:30:28 Molly was threatened by her I think Feb 14 21:31:17 * Edward nods slowly “I can see no reason she ought to have been” Feb 14 21:31:27 HH: It’s the big bubbies. Feb 14 21:31:56 Sorry? Feb 14 21:32:09 * Edward opens his mouth then promptly shuts it Feb 14 21:32:34 HH: She’s quite petite with big bubbies. Makes the ladies insecure Feb 14 21:32:49 Inga doesn't have that effect on her and hers are enormous Feb 14 21:33:43 HH: Inga’s taller though. I dunno, you know how women are Feb 14 21:34:38 * Edward nods “They always have something they do not like about themselves. In my vast experience, those things are usually irrelevant” Feb 14 21:35:30 * Morgan nods, drinking his port Feb 14 21:36:34 HH: Sorry But I can’t picture Mina having any insecurities, she’s more poised than any other woman I’ve met Feb 14 21:38:21 * Edward smiles “several, actually. She doesn’t like her feet, for one” Feb 14 21:39:16 * Morgan frowns, absently fiddling with his cuffs Feb 14 21:39:56 HH: $are you about to announce that you have a thing for feet?$ Feb 14 21:40:19 $No. But... how can she not like her feet, they're in shoes...$ Feb 14 21:40:59 $Inga’s lovely bottom is in dresses all the time and she still doesn’t like it$ Feb 14 21:41:37 $Fair enough. She's mad, but fair enough$ Feb 14 21:41:58 HH: Inga thinks she’s not pretty enough, despite being told a lot Feb 14 21:42:14 She told me she thinks she's plain Feb 14 21:42:42 *HH nods sadly* Yeah, she says that Feb 14 21:43:26 * Morgan shrugs Feb 14 21:43:27 Women Feb 14 21:43:33 * Edward nods Feb 14 21:43:53 Indeed. But their charms are abundant Feb 14 21:44:04 HH: Inga’s definitely are! Feb 14 21:44:33 Used up a whole kohl stick on them... Feb 14 21:44:53 You drew on Inga’s breasts?! Feb 14 21:45:10 *Hh laughs* Feb 14 21:45:13 No... but I drew them... Feb 14 21:45:26 Why? Feb 14 21:45:42 * Morgan glances at HeinzHarold Feb 14 21:45:58 HH: What? you want me to fetch it? Feb 14 21:46:18 No, I don't think she''d appreciate that... I was just wondering where precisely we'd start with explaining this... Feb 14 21:47:12 HH chuckles: If you start it, you gotta tell him how Inga found out you weren’t Saint Morgan O’ Puritytown though Feb 14 21:47:23 But that was funny Feb 14 21:47:48 HH: oh yeah, apart from nearly leaving us both with blue balls Feb 14 21:48:20 * Edward tops up their port from the bottle on the sideboard before regaining his seat Feb 14 21:48:30 Go ahead Feb 14 21:48:41 well... we took her to a brothel... Feb 14 21:49:31 The one in Jura where you and Molly...? *but it was actually the one in Paan, where Molly didn’t even ask to go along to* Feb 14 21:50:06 No... Paan... Molly stayed in our rooms... I went to make sure everyone behaved and was safe Feb 14 21:50:53 * Edward nods, making a Go On motion Feb 14 21:52:21 Inga and HeinzHarold were, lets say, getting handsy... nothing too lewd, you understand... but they were just completely lost in eachother, in themselves... it looked intimate and perfect... so, as a gift, I drew them Feb 14 21:54:02 * Edward nods “It is easy to get swept away in that atmosphere. Were you not bothered that he was drawing your wife’s breasts, Heinzharold?” Feb 14 21:54:23 HH: *he shakes his head* Nope, it’s Morgan. Feb 14 21:56:42 That sounds akin to “nope, he’s a eunuch.” Feb 14 21:57:26 *Hh chuckles* Nah, aside from him being Saint Morgan, he’s just a one woman man Feb 14 21:57:35 * Morgan nods Feb 14 21:57:49 * Edward watches Morgan Feb 14 21:58:14 There’s never been a time that more than one woman held your attentions at a time? Feb 14 21:59:54 * Morgan sips his port Feb 14 22:00:47 No... there was a girl before Molly but I had no idea that I cared for Molly at that point Feb 14 22:01:20 * Edward nods “Ahh the Innismore girl with the mace. I have heard of her” Feb 14 22:01:50 * Morgan nods Feb 14 22:02:47 HH: Weird that we know more about him through our wives gossiping than the man himself Feb 14 22:03:12 * Morgan shrugs Feb 14 22:03:21 I wouldn't say there's much to know Feb 14 22:03:50 HH: Yer wife thought you might marry her at one point Feb 14 22:04:56 Eiblinn?! No... it wasn't what it would have needed to be Feb 14 22:05:34 HH: Didn’t set yer energies to the succession, eh? *he grins* Feb 14 22:06:08 Shut up, Heinzharold. *he is smiling though* Feb 14 22:07:11 No, I didn't succession anywhere... we kissed, once... Feb 14 22:07:50 HH: Don’t laugh Edward, that’s more’an he ever did in the camps! Feb 14 22:07:57 I was not laughing! Feb 14 22:09:11 * Morgan shrugs Feb 14 22:09:14 I'm aware of my reputation Feb 14 22:10:35 HH: Yer wife thinks it was a lot more than once, inciden’ly Feb 14 22:11:04 * Morgan sighs Feb 14 22:11:09 She is incorrect Feb 14 22:11:25 I hope you did not bite her Feb 14 22:11:49 I'm sorry, what? Feb 14 22:11:55 *HH looks confused* why would he? Feb 14 22:12:48 * Edward drinks some port, smiling “I was somewhat intimidated when I first kissed Mina, and bit her lip by accident, enough to draw blood.” Feb 14 22:13:12 HH laughs: Oh man! You plank! Feb 14 22:14:25 He asked the Saint of Puritytowns advice when it came to bedding a virgin too... Feb 14 22:16:26 * Edward smiles “In that, and only in that, you had far more sexual experience than I” Feb 14 22:17:21 Only that... I daresay I could prove that statement wrong Feb 14 22:17:59 HH: There’s the swiving outdoors... Feb 14 22:18:36 * Edward nods, conceding “I am not absolutely inexperienced there, but not greatly” Feb 14 22:19:56 HH: Then there’s this weird special thing she can do so he comes like a girl... Feb 14 22:22:20 There is... Feb 14 22:22:24 * Edward raises his glass in a mock toast “Alas, I have no experience in that” Feb 14 22:23:26 I don't have -much- experience in that... Feb 14 22:23:44 HH: Only because yer scared you’ll die of it Feb 14 22:24:38 You might have a point... Feb 14 22:26:09 * Edward chuckles Feb 14 22:26:33 It would be a good death Feb 14 22:27:43 I suppose so Feb 14 23:21:01 * Edward has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Feb 14 23:28:25 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
