**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Mar 10 00:14:54 2024 Mar 10 00:14:54 * Molly has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Mar 10 00:35:07 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Mar 10 18:16:15 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Mar 10 21:06:15 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Mar 10 21:10:46 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Mar 10 21:12:17 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Mar 10 21:13:59 * Molly nods “That I can function, at least, whilst I am tingling inside?” Mar 10 21:13:59 * Morgan nods Mar 10 21:13:59 indeed Mar 10 21:13:59 * Molly smiles Mar 10 21:13:59 I would not mind if you were a little distracted too Mar 10 21:14:01 * Morgan nods Mar 10 21:14:03 I usually am Mar 10 21:14:05 Because I am pregnant? Mar 10 21:14:07 Well, that does't make it any -less- Mar 10 21:14:09 * Molly smiles “I hadn’t realised. You are so busy with everything you need to worry about” Mar 10 21:14:11 * Morgan nods Mar 10 21:14:13 Yes, I am Mar 10 21:14:15 But you cannot help getting distracted regardless? Mar 10 21:14:17 Do rather Mar 10 21:15:54 * Molly kisses him gently again “you will want me to take it easy where I can this afternoon?” Mar 10 21:16:06 Yes, I do Mar 10 21:16:43 I’d imagine there’ll be no visitors until later on Mar 10 21:16:58 * Morgan nods Mar 10 21:17:02 I think mother wanted to talk to me Mar 10 21:20:37 * Molly nods “Alright, my love. how was Xantha?” Mar 10 21:20:52 Happier. He's so protective of Aurora Mar 10 21:22:29 * Molly smiles “A Koertig male strongly protective of his pregnant mate...” Mar 10 21:22:36 * Morgan nods Mar 10 21:22:37 Indeed Mar 10 21:24:33 Papa should be here tonight, perhaps he can look them over for you? Mar 10 21:24:47 * Morgan nods Mar 10 21:24:52 Could ask I suppose Mar 10 21:26:24 * Molly nods Mar 10 21:26:41 He does know what he is about when it comes to horses Mar 10 21:27:14 * Morgan nods Mar 10 21:27:25 I think your mother wishes to speak with you soon Mar 10 21:27:47 Will I get a lecture about taking care of myself? Mar 10 21:28:59 Possibly but that is not the main subject. Oh, and I found out why she looked so emotional in church Mar 10 21:29:27 why? Mar 10 21:30:04 A woman should learn to breastfeed from her mother... she didn't have that with you Mar 10 21:30:51 * Molly nods Mar 10 21:31:36 It was necessary... but also, if I had been with child when they kicked me out, I’d have had to learn alone anyway, and she was not so worried then. Mar 10 21:31:45 * Morgan nods Mar 10 21:32:00 I know. We discussed her apologising... Mar 10 21:38:20 * Molly nods Mar 10 21:38:53 They’ve apologised before, but I think there is still hurt there, now that I have a baby and another on the way Mar 10 21:39:36 They apologised while trying to tell you why they did it... which doesn't matter and negates the value of the apology Mar 10 21:42:14 * Molly nods Mar 10 21:43:03 But really, what I think irks me, is that my children only matter to them if they are born in wedlock to someone of gentry or above. Mar 10 21:43:23 Perhaps you should tell her that Mar 10 21:45:25 * Molly nods “Perhaps. But perhaps also I should just be less sensitive” Mar 10 21:46:23 No, I think not. Mar 10 21:48:05 * Molly nods Mar 10 21:48:56 I’ll consider it. I do not wish to cause trouble when we’re about to have a houseful Mar 10 21:49:28 No... but... better now than when we -have- a houseful Mar 10 21:50:25 I suppose so Mar 10 21:51:47 * Morgan nods Mar 10 21:53:51 * Molly smiles “I am going to spend the afternoon with her and the boys then, and working on my dress” Mar 10 21:54:04 * Morgan nods Mar 10 21:54:07 Very good my love Mar 10 21:56:32 * Molly kisses his cheek then giggles “You may go now” Mar 10 21:56:45 * Morgan smiles Mar 10 21:56:48 I'll see you soon love Mar 10 21:58:32 yes liebl8ng Mar 10 21:59:49 * Morgan kisses her cheek before pulling his boots on and heading out toward the kitchen Mar 10 22:01:13 *It’s busy in here as the prep work is being done for the evening meal Mar 10 22:01:31 * Morgan stays out of the way, making himself coffee Mar 10 22:04:12 *Everyone smiles when they see him, even though they’re all at task. His presence seems automatically accepted* Mar 10 22:04:50 * Morgan smiles, sipping his coffee before leaving, heading to find his mother Mar 10 22:07:49 *Verity is found in the nursery with Alice and Florrie* Mar 10 22:07:59 * Morgan knocks on the doorframe Mar 10 22:09:06 *Alice calls for him to come in* Mar 10 22:10:44 * Morgan goes inside Mar 10 22:10:45 Hey Mar 10 22:10:56 * Molly is now known as Verity Mar 10 22:11:34 good afternoon, dear boy Mar 10 22:11:56 * Morgan moves to his mother, kissing her cheek Mar 10 22:12:02 Wasn't expecting to find you in here Mar 10 22:14:01 * Verity smiles “I was coming to get to know Alice better” Mar 10 22:14:27 Ah, I see... well, I'll not intrude Mar 10 22:16:35 No, dear boy, it’s fine. Are you well? Mar 10 22:16:49 * Morgan nods Mar 10 22:16:52 I think so, yes Mar 10 22:18:18 which of us were you looking for? Mar 10 22:21:42 You, mostly... we were going to talk about Teresa Loewe, but it can wait Mar 10 22:22:24 Shall we stroll in the garden? Mar 10 22:22:44 I don't want to take you from getting to know Alice or spending time with Florrie Mar 10 22:23:27 I will come back in a little while, Alice Mar 10 22:23:38 *Alice nods* Mar 10 22:24:34 * Morgan offers Martha his arm Mar 10 22:26:42 * Verity takes it, going with him Mar 10 22:26:56 * Morgan leads her into the gardens Mar 10 22:28:47 * Verity looks around Mar 10 22:29:02 Your gardens are nice, aren’t they? Mar 10 22:29:07 * Morgan nods Mar 10 22:29:10 I think so, yes Mar 10 22:31:01 * Verity nods Mar 10 22:31:16 It is very sad about Teresa Mar 10 22:31:51 Its sad they are estranged... she is, as you no doubt could see, quite happy Mar 10 22:33:24 * Verity nods Mar 10 22:33:37 People are talking about the family Mar 10 22:34:02 That is expected Mar 10 22:34:38 It’s taken a big toll on their reputation Mar 10 22:34:51 * Morgan nods Mar 10 22:34:55 Yes, it has Mar 10 22:37:04 I worry about what will happen to their contracts now, but I think that you are soon takin over will help that Mar 10 22:37:36 I'm not entirely sure it'll help at all Mar 10 22:38:59 whyever not? Mar 10 22:39:19 Because my reputation isn't exactly any better... Mar 10 22:40:50 I think you’d be surprised Mar 10 22:41:15 * Morgan shrugs Mar 10 22:42:06 Graf Maubourg could mitigate it by leaning into it, but... he is unwilling. Mar 10 22:42:43 He has strong ideas where this Grafdom is concerned, doesn’t he? Mar 10 22:43:40 * Morgan nods Mar 10 22:43:43 He certainly does Mar 10 22:44:54 I’m sure you can work on him Mar 10 22:45:24 * Morgan shrugs Mar 10 22:45:35 Im' trying to but... he is very fixed in his ways Mar 10 22:46:48 * Verity nods Mar 10 22:47:05 Many noblemen of a certain age are Mar 10 22:47:15 * Morgan nods Mar 10 22:47:17 I had noticed Mar 10 23:08:08 * Verity has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Mar 10 23:50:08 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
