**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Feb 15 19:14:30 2024 Feb 15 19:14:30 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Feb 15 19:27:55 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Feb 15 19:28:46 HH: There’s the swiving outdoors... Feb 15 19:28:46 * Edward nods, conceding “I am not absolutely inexperienced there, but not greatly” Feb 15 19:28:46 HH: Then there’s this weird special thing she can do so he comes like a girl... Feb 15 19:28:46 There is... Feb 15 19:28:46 * Edward raises his glass in a mock toast “Alas, I have no experience in that” Feb 15 19:28:47 I don't have -much- experience in that... Feb 15 19:28:51 HH: Only because yer scared you’ll die of it Feb 15 19:28:51 You might have a point... Feb 15 19:28:55 * Edward chuckles Feb 15 19:28:57 It would be a good death Feb 15 19:28:57 I suppose so Feb 15 19:32:30 HH: I got this theory see... *HH launches into his Multiple-Orgasms-To-Make-Sex-Worthwhile-So-They-Keep-Doing-It-Despite-The-Horrors-Of-Childbirth idea* Feb 15 19:32:36 * Molly is now known as Edward Feb 15 19:32:57 * Edward goes from disbelieving to actually nodding along by the end Feb 15 19:33:27 * Morgan rolls his eyes, drinking his port Feb 15 19:35:06 The other idea would be that her ability to continue having and enjoying intercourse after her partner is done is so that she can receive the seed of several different men that her body can choose the best to father her child Feb 15 19:35:48 HH frowns: Huh... I don’t like it, but it ain’t a bad point Feb 15 19:36:24 * Morgan smiles a little Feb 15 19:37:15 HH looks at him: That doesn’t bother you? Feb 15 19:37:42 Why would it? Feb 15 19:38:22 HH: That yer wife could be wired to have sex with multiple men after yer spent Feb 15 19:38:42 * Edward smiles, sipping his port Feb 15 19:39:11 But she -isn't- doing that Feb 15 19:40:53 HH: Nope. She ain’t gon find anyone sexier than me anyhow Feb 15 19:41:45 Kitt... Feb 15 19:42:39 * Edward looks surprised “Your wife like women as well?” Feb 15 19:43:10 *HH shakes his head* Definitely not, an’ Kitt’s a boy anyhow Feb 15 19:43:46 He makes HeinzHarold look like a dowdy spinster Feb 15 19:44:29 And Potts? Feb 15 19:45:13 HH: Tough one Feb 15 19:45:22 * Morgan makes a pff noise Feb 15 19:45:47 Grendlik is also a handsome man Feb 15 19:46:40 I suppose so Feb 15 19:47:10 * Morgan smiles Feb 15 19:47:16 You should see him with his son Feb 15 19:47:39 I know he had looked forward to having a child Feb 15 19:48:33 Its even more special for him I think Feb 15 19:49:21 * Edward nods Feb 15 19:49:39 I imagine so Feb 15 19:50:21 [did you wish to sketch me tonight?] Feb 15 19:51:15 [Yes, I think so Feb 15 19:52:23 [then I must insist you come to rescue me. This isn’t the most comfortable of situations!] Feb 15 19:53:21 [oh dear. I'll bring reinforcements] Feb 15 19:54:22 [Alight, but they do not get to sketch me naked!] Feb 15 19:55:27 I think it best we go and interrupt the ladies... its not entirely comfortable in there Feb 15 19:57:42 Are you doing the head thing to Molly? Feb 15 19:57:51 No, that comes later Feb 15 19:57:59 HH sniggers: Not in a room full of women he’s not! Feb 15 19:58:03 * Morgan slaps a hand over his mouth Feb 15 19:58:17 *HH looks at Morgan, grinning* Great minds, man Feb 15 19:59:07 * Morgan nods, blushing a little Feb 15 19:59:16 * Edward rolls his eyes “Puerile minds” Feb 15 20:00:02 You're just jealous you didn't think of it... but yes... a good deal of the time I'm actually having more than one conversation at a time Feb 15 20:00:16 $Three, usually$ Feb 15 20:00:21 HH: ‘s why he talks so much nonsense Feb 15 20:00:31 No, thats time spent with you Feb 15 20:00:47 *they laugh* Feb 15 20:01:10 Is it not a distraction when you are talking to her that way? Feb 15 20:01:19 * Morgan smiles slightly Feb 15 20:01:30 Have you noticed me being distracted? Feb 15 20:01:36 HH: It’s when they’re being lewd that really messes him up Feb 15 20:01:46 * Morgan points briefly at HeinzHarold, nodding Feb 15 20:01:54 * Edward nods Feb 15 20:02:37 I have noted that previously. I am glad not to have inherited this, but I would use it to great effect upon Mimi Feb 15 20:03:29 * Morgan nods Feb 15 20:03:38 We can be quite merciless with it Feb 15 20:04:46 Do you do it often? Feb 15 20:05:48 ummm... I think often-ish- is the best answer to that Feb 15 20:06:46 * Edward nods Feb 15 20:07:17 You like to play the long game, I remember from our ride to Zweibrucke in the summer Feb 15 20:09:37 * Morgan smiles a little, topping up the drinks Feb 15 20:09:43 Come along then, lets go see them Feb 15 20:11:14 *The two others join him. The drawing room is only next door. A crackling fire keeps off the evening chill, and through the big windows Morgan can see a few stars already Feb 15 20:12:15 * Morgan glances at the window Feb 15 20:12:23 Edward... what colour would you say that sky is? Feb 15 20:12:54 * Edward looks out “indigo-navy” Feb 15 20:13:33 * Morgan nods thoughtfully Feb 15 20:14:28 Why? Feb 15 20:15:08 *HH has gone to sit next to Inga where she’s sat with Alice. Molly is sat with Martha, Verity with Mina* Feb 15 20:15:51 Clearly even Theus prefers the navy Feb 15 20:16:42 * Edward snorts Feb 15 20:17:29 I think not, brother Feb 15 20:17:42 * Morgan points at the sky Feb 15 20:17:49 Navy... I don't see any army colour skies... Feb 15 20:18:18 We wore black and red. Most of the night is black, dawn and sunsets often red Feb 15 20:19:47 exactly... you copied the colours... no, what I was -actually- thinking was that much as I might want to, I couldn't do that justice Feb 15 20:21:00 It is hard to do so without colour Feb 15 20:21:14 * Morgan nods Feb 15 20:21:18 aye Feb 15 20:28:01 * Edward goes to sit by Mina Feb 15 20:28:42 You could learn, brother. Some things are too beautiful to render any other way *he smiles at his wife* Feb 15 20:30:46 * Morgan nods Feb 15 20:30:49 I could try Feb 15 20:31:08 *Mina blushes a little* Feb 15 20:31:35 [oh dear I wonder what Edward has been painting!] Feb 15 20:32:49 [Her with his succession, it seems] Feb 15 20:33:57 [his succession?] Feb 15 20:34:25 [nevermind love, I'm being vaguely crude] Feb 15 20:34:25 *the others are chatting about artistic talents, though Alice is quite quiet* Feb 15 20:35:11 [I don’t mind that, though you can be as crude as you like if we retire. Are we to go to our room or the art room? Feb 15 20:35:58 [I think... maybe the art room, if the doors have bolts] Feb 15 20:36:58 [they do. They’d need to, considering what was drawn there!] Feb 15 20:37:29 [quite] Feb 15 20:37:39 Mother, do you know when father is arriving? Feb 15 20:39:32 V: Your Father is coming on Sunday Feb 15 20:40:16 * Morgan nods Feb 15 20:40:17 okay Feb 15 20:42:29 Ma: David is coming then too and Jarvie, Grendlik and Matthias will be coming. They’ll be coming through Innesbruck, so all of the people coming from there will also be coming at the same time Feb 15 20:42:47 HH: $that’s a lot of coming$ Feb 15 20:43:16 $I can come that much$ Feb 15 20:43:18 * Morgan nods Feb 15 20:43:23 Going to be busy all of a sudden Feb 15 20:44:54 *Molly smiles* We will be filled to the rafters on Monday night when His Grace arrives too. I’m not sure which day the Rosenkrantz’s will arrive too Feb 15 20:45:43 * Morgan shrugs Feb 15 20:45:47 Wait and see I suppose Feb 15 20:46:33 *Molly looks to Edward* When will Lord Potty-... Pottersdam and the others arrive? *she blushes* Feb 15 20:47:08 * Edward chuckles, watching her “Potts and the Jolly Boys will be here on Sunday I believe” Feb 15 20:47:55 Definitely going to be busy then Feb 15 20:49:58 V: How has your ballroom come along? Feb 15 20:50:23 Fairly well, I think Feb 15 20:51:55 *Molly nods* I have borrowed many chairs and tables from Graf Maubourg, but I would like help in arranging them. Also, flowers to decorate here and the church with. An eye to the menu would also be appreciated, and seating arrangements... Feb 15 20:52:13 V: Dear girl, we will all help, of course Feb 15 20:53:36 * Morgan smiles, sipping his port Feb 15 20:54:37 *Molly smiles* Thank you Feb 15 20:56:05 Mina: I enjoy seating arrangements and I know almost everyone on the guest list, I am happy to help with that Feb 15 20:57:49 *Molly nods* Thank you. Mama, would you speak to Frau Arendt about the menu, I know you like cooking *Martha nods* And Alice, Maybe you’d suggest some flowers and speak to a florist on my behalf? Feb 15 20:58:33 V: *she smiles when Alice nods* That should all be well then Feb 15 21:00:11 Sounds like its all in hand then Feb 15 21:00:57 $Like a bunch of sailors two weeks on the waves$ Feb 15 21:01:21 $god man$ Feb 15 21:02:32 $yep. think it’s my bedtime$ Feb 15 21:03:23 $I'd say so$ Feb 15 21:03:57 HH nudges Inga gently, then stands up: We’re retirin’. Night all Feb 15 21:04:52 V: I think that is a wise idea, we’ve had a long day, haven’t we, Martha? *Martha nods* Feb 15 21:05:20 *Alice looks a little uncomfortable* Feb 15 21:06:03 *Goodnights are said as Inga, HH, Ve, and Ma prepare to retire* Feb 15 21:07:06 [would you walk Alice up, my love? She’ll be the odd one out if she stays, but my Mother is still not her biggest fan, so it may be awkward for her to go with them] Feb 15 21:09:20 Alice, perhaps I could walk you to your room? Feb 15 21:10:02 *Alice looks relieved* Thank you, Morgan Feb 15 21:10:23 * Morgan nods Feb 15 21:10:24 * Edward gives him the barest of grateful head inclines Feb 15 21:10:27 Of course Feb 15 21:10:41 Have you all arranged a plan for mother meeting Florrie? Feb 15 21:11:45 *Verity, Alice and Molly both nod* V: yes we have, dear boy Feb 15 21:13:21 * Morgan nods, standing Feb 15 21:13:30 good Feb 15 21:14:11 *Only Molly, Mina, and Edward remain seated, the other four going ahead, Alice waiting for Morgan* Feb 15 21:14:26 * Morgan offers his arm, walking with her Feb 15 21:15:08 * Edward is now known as Alice Feb 15 21:15:21 * Alice speaks quietly as she takes him arm Feb 15 21:15:24 Thank you Feb 15 21:15:30 * Morgan smiles a little Feb 15 21:15:40 [I’ll meet you in the art room shortly?] Feb 15 21:15:43 My pleasure Feb 15 21:15:47 [yes love] Feb 15 21:15:56 Are you well? Feb 15 21:16:12 Mostly I think... you? Feb 15 21:17:59 * Alice nods Feb 15 21:18:10 It’s tense but not unbearable Feb 15 21:18:37 * Morgan nods Feb 15 21:18:49 Its not as bad as I feared, but not as good as I hoped... so far Feb 15 21:19:45 * Alice nods Feb 15 21:20:09 I am just trying to keep my head down and hope everyone becomes more at ease with me Feb 15 21:20:30 * Morgan nods Feb 15 21:20:39 It'll come, I think Feb 15 21:21:28 * Alice smiles Feb 15 21:21:35 hope so Feb 15 21:21:48 * Morgan nods Feb 15 21:22:35 * Alice says goodnight to him at the nursery door Feb 15 21:22:51 * Morgan hugs her briefly before bidding her goodnight Feb 15 21:23:42 * Alice goes in Feb 15 21:24:39 * Morgan sighs, going slowly to the art room Feb 15 21:25:30 *It’s all quiet in there, and he has to light the candles to illuminate the chaise in the middle of the room* Feb 15 21:25:54 * Morgan gets his supplies ready Feb 15 21:27:22 * Alice is now known as Molly Feb 15 21:27:33 * Molly lets herself in without knocking Feb 15 21:27:58 Sorry, my love, they were slower to get off than I expected Feb 15 21:28:19 God knows why, they were nearly getting off before dinner Feb 15 21:29:58 * Molly giggles Feb 15 21:30:01 They were? Feb 15 21:30:05 Looked to be Feb 15 21:30:48 did he have his hands in her bodice? I am told that’s how he pleases her during her course Feb 15 21:31:07 Might have done... didn't look too closely Feb 15 21:31:16 * Molly nods Feb 15 21:31:32 You saw enough in your dream of them, hmm? Feb 15 21:31:43 * Molly comes to sit on the chaise Feb 15 21:31:44 quite Feb 15 21:32:00 How undressed would you like me?

Feb 15 21:39:32 * Molly smiles Feb 15 21:39:46 you’d like to undo it yourself? Feb 15 21:40:33 No, I was thinking I might draw you in that... Feb 15 21:41:26 * Molly holds it against her bump “I thought this was the object of your artistic desires...” Feb 15 21:42:19 Well... yes... Feb 15 21:44:04 * Molly smiles Feb 15 21:44:15 I am at your command, my love Feb 15 21:45:31 * Morgan nods, moving to position her on her knees, looking down with the shift still on Feb 15 21:45:52 * Molly smiles Feb 15 21:46:05 I should just stay like this a while, yes? Feb 15 21:46:31 Yes please Feb 15 21:46:44 My hair still up?

Feb 15 22:02:18 * Molly nods, going still again. Another ten minutes later she’s fidgeting again, exhaling slowly Feb 15 22:03:26 * Morgan watches her Feb 15 22:04:00 * Molly refocuses, going still again Feb 15 22:04:17 * Morgan carries on, humming a tune she doesn't know Feb 15 22:04:27 what is it? Feb 15 22:04:35 Its a drawing... Feb 15 22:04:48 no... the thing you are humming Feb 15 22:04:57 Oh, see, thats called a tune... Feb 15 22:05:06 oh, I see Feb 15 22:05:25 * Molly fidgets slightly again Feb 15 22:06:34 * Morgan glances at her Feb 15 22:06:45 Its one of a few I've put to paper recently... Feb 15 22:07:39 Will you play it for me? Feb 15 22:07:44 Now? Feb 15 22:07:55 No, you’re busy right now Feb 15 22:08:01 Yes, I am Feb 15 22:08:53 * Molly nods. She’s still a while again, then fidgets, inhaling slowly Feb 15 22:09:09 You're going to keep doing that... Feb 15 22:09:16 hmm? Feb 15 22:09:33 You make nearly ten minutes before you start fidgeting again Feb 15 22:09:51 I’m sorry, I’ll try not to Feb 15 22:10:03 I'm not sure you can help it Feb 15 22:10:14 * Molly nods slightly Feb 15 22:10:29 I do not want to spoil your drawing. I’ll be fine Feb 15 22:11:29 I think I can manage Feb 15 22:11:53 * Molly shakes her head “No no, let’s get it right...” Feb 15 22:12:13 * Morgan nods, going back to humming as he works Feb 15 22:12:27 what... what is it about? Feb 15 22:19:53 Its one of a couple I've done about a soldier... he's questioning his place and his job... Feb 15 22:20:23 Oh? that sounds intriguing Feb 15 22:21:34 He's trying to reconcile the things he's had to do and wondering if the cause was right... Feb 15 22:22:03 * Molly nods, fidgeting a little again “Does that come from yourself, from the War?” Feb 15 22:22:21 I suppose... you right from your experiences... Feb 15 22:22:59 * Molly nods Feb 15 22:23:02 indeed Feb 15 22:25:01 Its... questioning is position... Feb 15 22:25:42 * Molly nods “I look forward to hearing it” Feb 15 22:26:49 * Morgan nods, changing the tune as he draws Feb 15 22:27:34 * Molly soon fidgets again before asking “another new song?” Feb 15 22:27:41 * Morgan nods Feb 15 22:27:48 I've got four... and one I'm working on Feb 15 22:28:02 goodness me, you are a busy boy!

Feb 15 22:33:58 You clearly cant Feb 15 22:34:24 * Molly nods “I can hold it a bit longer, it’s fine” Feb 15 22:34:57 * Morgan shrugs a little, picking up the charcoal again and working Feb 15 22:35:48 * Molly smiles, staying very still from now on, only the slightest of fleeting fidgets occassionally Feb 15 22:36:31 * Morgan nods, finishing up Feb 15 22:37:17 * Molly waits patiently Feb 15 22:38:52 alright... finishing touches I can do tomorrow Feb 15 22:39:29 * Molly nods Feb 15 22:39:37 You are finished for tonight? Feb 15 22:40:44 I think so, yes Feb 15 22:41:30 * Molly blows out a breath “Okay, that’s good...” Feb 15 23:26:21 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Feb 15 23:42:49 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
