Feb 29 20:00:30 <Morgan>	 <Morgan> $Thought you'd like that$
Feb 29 20:00:31 <Morgan>	 <HH> $yep. hope I didn’t cockblock you earlier$
Feb 29 20:00:31 <Morgan>	 <Morgan> $No, too late for that. Edward nearly did though$
Feb 29 20:00:31 <Morgan>	 <HH> $you got bad luck with it, man$
Feb 29 20:00:32 <Morgan>	 * Morgan nods a little
Feb 29 20:00:34 <Morgan>	 <Morgan> $Yeah$
Feb 29 20:00:36 <Morgan>	 <HH> $I thought Molly was looking happy tonight!$
Feb 29 20:00:38 <Morgan>	 <Morgan> $Sated$
Feb 29 20:00:40 <Morgan>	 <HH> $bet you a guilder that doesn’t last until bedtime$
Feb 29 20:00:42 <Morgan>	 <Morgan> $Not taking that bet$
Feb 29 20:00:44 <Morgan>	 * HH chuckles, kissing Inga’s crown. He puts an arm round her shoulders so she can sleep on him
Feb 29 20:00:46 <Morgan>	 * Morgan looks to Edward
Feb 29 20:00:48 <Morgan>	 <Morgan> I did as you advised
Feb 29 20:00:50 <Morgan>	 <HH> E: Yes?
Feb 29 20:00:52 <Morgan>	 * Morgan nods
Feb 29 20:00:54 <Morgan>	 <Morgan> He tried to refuse payment for the drinks
Feb 29 20:01:30 <Molly>	E: They want to make a warm welcome so you keep coming
Feb 29 20:01:40 <Molly>	$sounds like our wives, man$
Feb 29 20:01:44 *	Morgan nods
Feb 29 20:01:47 <Morgan>	Suppose so
Feb 29 20:02:23 <Molly>	E: You insisted though
Feb 29 20:02:48 <Morgan>	I did, yes
Feb 29 20:03:03 <Morgan>	Though I did suggest that it would also look better for both of us if I did
Feb 29 20:03:25 <Molly>	*Edward nods* And  your patronage?
Feb 29 20:03:55 <Morgan>	Set to start once I take over as Graf
Feb 29 20:06:04 <Molly>	*Edward nods* I would make a point of attending now and then, to show your interest
Feb 29 20:06:14 *	Morgan nods
Feb 29 20:06:24 <Morgan>	I enquired about having them perform for my guests...
Feb 29 20:08:16 *	Molly smiles “Might they come for the baptism?”
Feb 29 20:08:50 <Morgan>	Not sure there's room for them
Feb 29 20:12:17 *	Molly giggles “to perform, my love, not to sleep”
Feb 29 20:12:42 <Morgan>	ah... that was my thought, yes... they have a version suitable for those of a more... delicate nature... but not children
Feb 29 20:14:33 *	Molly nods thoughtfully
Feb 29 20:14:53 <Molly>	Something for quiet hour perhaps?
Feb 29 20:15:08 <Morgan>	Since that likely won't be observed, yes
Feb 29 20:17:53 <Molly>	The children will still need a rest even if the adults don’t wish to... Umm...
Feb 29 20:18:00 <Molly>	*HH grins*
Feb 29 20:18:06 <Morgan>	$bang like a barn door in a storm$
Feb 29 20:20:12 <Molly>	$doing the blanket hornpipe$
Feb 29 20:20:26 *	Morgan sniggers
Feb 29 20:21:15 <Molly>	E: take a time out, yes.
Feb 29 20:21:46 *	Molly glances at Morgan before smiling at her brother in law “Yes, thank you Edward”
Feb 29 20:21:47 <Morgan>	Yeah, that
Feb 29 20:22:19 <Molly>	E: I’m sure a performance would go down well
Feb 29 20:24:36 *	Morgan nods
Feb 29 20:24:42 <Morgan>	Might be right
Feb 29 20:27:03 <Molly>	I think it’d be nice. We won’t be able to participate in Quiet Hour anyway, as host and hostess
Feb 29 20:27:25 *	Morgan nods
Feb 29 20:27:49 <Morgan>	I'll send a message to them tomorrow
Feb 29 20:29:44 *	Molly nods, holding his hand
Feb 29 20:29:57 <Molly>	E: Father will come tomorrow night
Feb 29 20:30:22 *	Morgan nods, becoming tense
Feb 29 20:30:25 <Morgan>	Yes...
Feb 29 20:31:05 *	Molly gently strokes his hand with her thumb
Feb 29 20:31:24 <Molly>	E: My friends should arrive then too
Feb 29 20:31:38 *	Morgan nods
Feb 29 20:31:57 <Morgan>	They can create a distraction for me if needs be
Feb 29 20:33:27 <Molly>	E: Heidi will struggle not to, little baggage that she is
Feb 29 20:33:33 *	Morgan nods
Feb 29 20:33:50 <Morgan>	I'm not dreading that at all...
Feb 29 20:35:43 <Molly>	Alice: Is she the princess?
Feb 29 20:36:48 <Morgan>	Uhhh... sort of...
Feb 29 20:38:55 <Molly>	She’s the Eisenfurst’s adopted daughter, so technically she is a princess
Feb 29 20:39:34 <Morgan>	Even though he isn't' a king
Feb 29 20:41:21 *	Molly smiles
Feb 29 20:41:30 <Molly>	Eisenfolk are just odd, hmm?
Feb 29 20:42:05 <Morgan>	Can't really argue with that
Feb 29 20:43:34 <Molly>	Alice: what is she like?
Feb 29 20:44:49 <Morgan>	Like a leprechaun
Feb 29 20:45:29 <Molly>	*Alice looks confused* she’s small?
Feb 29 20:45:41 <Morgan>	No, she's chaos incarnate
Feb 29 20:47:42 <Molly>	*the others, except the sleeping Inga, laugh at this*
Feb 29 20:50:01 <Morgan>	I've never seen anyone scare Edward like she did
Feb 29 20:50:46 <Molly>	E: *he nods* I do not scare easily
Feb 29 20:53:44 <Molly>	Alice: What did she do?
Feb 29 20:54:00 <Morgan>	She impersonated mother... exceptionally well
Feb 29 20:55:38 <Molly>	A: is she a talented mimic?
Feb 29 20:55:47 <Morgan>	From what Ive seen, yes
Feb 29 20:56:39 <Molly>	*Edwrad nods* She got him blacklisted from the gentleman’s club for gambling in his name whilst impersonating him
Feb 29 20:58:49 <Morgan>	When the Eisenfurst asked what I wanted as reward, I did not envision he'd do -that-
Feb 29 20:59:12 <Molly>	Alice: A reward for what?
Feb 29 20:59:55 *	Morgan blows out his cheeks a moment
Feb 29 21:00:37 <Morgan>	There was a plot... a power grab, really,  and...  well, you could say that we, Edward, myself and his friends, uncovered it and scuppered it just a little
Feb 29 21:02:42 <Molly>	HH: I didn’ even get to be a hero. Very disappointing. 
Feb 29 21:04:49 <Morgan>	But on the other hand, you didn't have to endure the effects of being drugged
Feb 29 21:06:29 <Molly>	HH: I woulda been fine
Feb 29 21:06:59 *	Molly smiles “Or he’d have giggled relentlessly like on the tobacco”
Feb 29 21:07:06 *	Morgan nods
Feb 29 21:07:11 <Morgan>	possibly
Feb 29 21:13:56 <Molly>	E: I would have accepted any help we could get
Feb 29 21:14:13 <Molly>	HH: What, even me?! Wow, thanks! 
Feb 29 21:14:29 *	Molly bites her lip, trying not to laugh
Feb 29 21:14:37 <Morgan>	We managed
Feb 29 21:15:06 <Molly>	E: only thanks to you, brother 
Feb 29 21:23:06 <Molly>	[and to Madchen?]
Feb 29 21:23:20 <Morgan>	[indeed]
Feb 29 21:24:52 <Molly>	[I wonder when we’ll see her again]
Feb 29 21:25:07 <Morgan>	[I've no idea love
Feb 29 21:26:14 <Molly>	*the time passes on the dark journey, everyone more tired now. Molly rests her cheek to his arm* [I’ll be glad to be home...]
Feb 29 21:28:39 <Morgan>	[me too]
Feb 29 21:30:08 <Molly>	[I think I didn’t end the magic to boost my supply as soon as I should have!]
Feb 29 21:30:30 <Morgan>	[oh dear]
Feb 29 21:31:55 <Molly>	[I will be alright, but I’ll need to express when we get there]
Feb 29 21:32:07 <Morgan>	[alright love]
Feb 29 21:32:34 <Molly>	[you were not in a hurry to retire?]
Feb 29 21:32:54 <Morgan>	[given tomorrow is likely to be difficult, I suppose I best had]
Feb 29 21:35:10 <Molly>	[I hate that things will be stressful for you again]
Feb 29 21:35:38 <Morgan>	[I'll be alright love]
Feb 29 21:36:47 <Molly>	[At least we had a most creative reprieve before we left!]
Feb 29 21:37:00 <Morgan>	[we certainly did. How are you feeling about that now?]
Feb 29 21:39:11 <Molly>	[I... I enjoyed it, but I am a little concerned]
Feb 29 21:39:31 <Morgan>	[why?]
Feb 29 21:41:23 <Molly>	[it was much more brazen than I’d usually be, and I ruined the rug]
Feb 29 21:41:41 <Morgan>	[we didn't like the rug]
Feb 29 21:41:48 <Molly>	$everything okay? she’s frowning$
Feb 29 21:41:59 <Molly>	[no, we didn’t]
Feb 29 21:42:01 <Morgan>	$Yeah, we're talking$
Feb 29 21:42:16 <Morgan>	[so... sod the rug. As for being brazen... why is that an issue?]
Feb 29 21:43:21 <Molly>	[it was... it was more than we’ve done before. I hope you didn’t find it too wanton, or too crude]
Feb 29 21:44:01 <Molly>	$okay, man, just protective of her, you know how it is$
Feb 29 21:44:14 <Morgan>	[You really do. Not need to worry about that]
Feb 29 21:44:38 <Molly>	[You enjoyed it?]
Feb 29 21:44:45 <Morgan>	[very very much]
Feb 29 21:45:09 <Molly>	[And you’d like to do similar again one day?]
Feb 29 21:45:24 <Morgan>	[Ifyou would]
Feb 29 21:46:54 <Molly>	[yes, I think I would]
Feb 29 21:47:16 <Morgan>	[but you are not sure]
Feb 29 21:47:41 <Molly>	[I am feeling a little self-conscious, that’s all]
Feb 29 21:51:03 <Morgan>	[you really do not need to my love]
Feb 29 21:52:42 *	Molly nods a little
Feb 29 21:53:27 <Molly>	[was it alright for you to feel that pleasure four times?]
Feb 29 21:54:16 <Morgan>	[oh it was tough,  but I'm not complaining this time]
Feb 29 22:01:27 <Molly>	[what makes it so difficult? It is just like second nature to me]
Feb 29 22:02:58 <Morgan>	[ah, well, its not for me at all. Its exhausting
Feb 29 22:04:04 <Molly>	[we needn’t do it again, my love]
Feb 29 22:06:13 <Morgan>	[I didn't say that]
Feb 29 22:07:41 <Molly>	[I do not want to exhaust you, only delight you]
Feb 29 22:08:25 *	Morgan nods a little
Feb 29 22:08:33 <Morgan>	[I know love]
Feb 29 22:13:57 <Molly>	Edward: How do you think Mother will have found the evening?
Feb 29 22:16:02 <Morgan>	I've no idea... hopefully she's enjoyed herself
Feb 29 22:19:25 <Molly>	E: *he nods* I hope Florrie has not been unsettled
Feb 29 22:19:50 *	Morgan nods
Feb 29 22:19:53 <Morgan>	I hope not
