**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Mar 14 21:03:40 2024 Mar 14 21:03:40 * Now talking on #7thsea Mar 14 21:03:42 * logger (logger@my.server.name) has joined Mar 14 21:03:51 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Mar 14 21:05:33 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Mar 14 21:06:05 it is very powerful Mar 14 21:06:05 * Morgan nods Mar 14 21:06:05 Indeed Mar 14 21:06:05 * Verity nods “we’ve been very blessed” Mar 14 21:06:05 * Morgan nods Mar 14 21:06:08 Yes, we have Mar 14 21:06:10 * Verity smiles “shall we have a few more blueberries?” Mar 14 21:06:12 * Morgan nods Mar 14 21:06:16 Certainly Mar 14 21:06:18 *they do this, the bush plentiful, and then they each take an apple for the walk back. Despite everything, it’s very nice to be with the mother he always adored* Mar 14 21:08:02 *they head across the lawn and then over the little bridge towards the house. To their left, Heinzharold’s house is part Mar 14 21:09:38 partly constructed, giving an idea of its size. HH and Inga are stood by it, his arms around her from behind, and they’re chatting together, much too far away for him to hear. Verity smiles at Morgan Mar 14 21:09:42 * Molly is now known as Verity Mar 14 21:09:54 Heinzharold seems happy, dear boy Mar 14 21:10:04 * Morgan nods Mar 14 21:10:06 He is Mar 14 21:11:51 * Verity nods “I am glad you won’t be here alone Mar 14 21:12:10 * Morgan nods Mar 14 21:12:17 James and Elsie will be here too Mar 14 21:14:13 * Verity nods “That will be nice, won’t it? Emil will have a child close in age to play with” Mar 14 21:14:42 * Morgan nods Mar 14 21:14:48 Yes, he will Mar 14 21:16:38 it’s good for boys to have playmates of the same age Mar 14 21:16:45 * Morgan nods Mar 14 21:16:47 Did me good Mar 14 21:18:31 * Verity nods “Do you think Heinzharold and Inga would like children soon?” Mar 14 21:19:00 definitely. They've already said they wouldn't accompany us to Capperlucia again Mar 14 21:19:48 * Verity nods Mar 14 21:20:07 When are you thinking of going? Mar 14 21:20:19 I'd rather not go again if I'm honest Mar 14 21:22:00 But you have a contract Mar 14 21:22:06 Yes, I do Mar 14 21:22:55 It doesn’t do to break one’s word, dear boy Mar 14 21:23:04 No... it doesn't. Mar 14 21:24:48 It’d be nice to see you for Prophets Mass again Mar 14 21:25:27 * Morgan nods Mar 14 21:25:37 I've been giving that some thought, I must admit Mar 14 21:27:32 But if you must be away, we shall soldier on without you. Will you take the children, or Molly? Mar 14 21:28:23 Difficult, since she's the ambassador... but I don't want to drag the boys that far again, even though Varick would like to see Keilani again Mar 14 21:29:36 It is a very long way for children Mar 14 21:29:43 * Morgan nods Mar 14 21:30:12 Yes, it is... though quicker, given the Roses' predilection for deciding to sail herself at night Mar 14 21:31:28 * Verity nods Mar 14 21:31:53 We will happily look after the children in Sudlachenburg for you, Martha and I would enjoy that Mar 14 21:32:42 * Morgan nods, smiling a little Mar 14 21:32:54 I'd rather not put Molly through that much travel again Mar 14 21:33:57 * Verity nods Mar 14 21:34:07 she must be very tired from it all Mar 14 21:34:52 * Morgan nods Mar 14 21:34:57 She was exhausted while we were there Mar 14 21:36:09 * Verity nods Mar 14 21:36:37 Being a new mother and nursing is very tiring, and being on show like that too, it is a lot Mar 14 21:37:04 * Morgan nods Mar 14 21:37:10 It was long days, too... Mar 14 21:39:20 * Verity nods “Will it be so long next time?” Mar 14 21:39:33 * Morgan shrugs Mar 14 21:40:00 There'll be less distractions, won't be collecting Alice, visiting Uncle Christopher, that sort of thing Mar 14 21:40:56 * Verity nods Mar 14 21:41:17 Molly will cease nursing then if she is going away? Mar 14 21:41:40 Difficult to nurse from hundreds of miles away... Mar 14 21:43:30 * Verity nods Mar 14 21:44:07 Perhaps that is for the best when you would like children soon Mar 14 21:44:43 perhaps Mar 14 21:46:06 Edward did not come along until after you were weaned Mar 14 21:47:30 I'm told her nursing will not affect our ability to conceive Mar 14 21:48:43 I am glad, she does seem very committed to it Mar 14 21:49:13 * Morgan nods Mar 14 21:49:30 Even before Betuana agreed to let us adopt him, we were utterly in love with him Mar 14 21:50:40 * Verity smiles Mar 14 21:51:20 He is darling. I cannot wait for you to see him in the baptism outfit I made him Mar 14 21:51:28 * Morgan nods Mar 14 21:51:32 I'm looking forward to it Mar 14 21:53:05 * Verity nods Mar 14 21:53:35 It’s just like the one from the vault, but white and blue, not purple Mar 14 21:54:05 * Morgan nods Mar 14 21:54:17 I'm sure it will look wonderful Mar 14 21:55:19 * Verity nods Mar 14 21:55:48 You have the sashes Sascha made, don’t you? Mar 14 21:55:54 * Morgan nods Mar 14 21:55:56 I do, yes Mar 14 21:56:33 * Verity nods “Wonderful” Mar 14 21:58:23 * Morgan nods Mar 14 21:58:34 *HH and Inga are whispering, looking happy and in love* Mar 14 21:58:44 Sappy, the pair of them Mar 14 21:59:13 * Verity smiles Mar 14 21:59:52 I think it’s sweet, and they are somewhere quite private, so that’s fine Mar 14 22:00:31 * Morgan nods Mar 14 22:00:37 He's going to make a wonderful father... Mar 14 22:00:59 * Verity nods Mar 14 22:01:12 Yes he will, just like his father was Mar 14 22:02:04 * Morgan nods Mar 14 22:02:18 He has moments where he's just like him Mar 14 22:04:19 * Verity nods Mar 14 22:04:31 He was a lovely man Mar 14 22:04:45 * Morgan nods Mar 14 22:04:51 Yes...I still miss him Mar 14 22:06:20 * Verity nods Mar 14 22:06:58 Emmilene does too, I don’t think she will ever stop Mar 14 22:07:29 No... I don't think so Mar 14 22:10:01 * Verity speaks quietly “Between four eyes, I think she and Grunhelm are growing closer” Mar 14 22:10:28 * Morgan nods Mar 14 22:10:31 I suspected the same Mar 14 22:11:59 * Verity nods Mar 14 22:12:30 I wish them all the best, two lonely people should not have to be lonely if they can be happy together Mar 14 22:12:52 * Morgan nods Mar 14 22:12:53 indeed Mar 14 22:14:48 I don’t think Heinzharold is ready for that yet Mar 14 22:15:00 No... I've not mentioned it to him Mar 14 22:16:10 * Verity nods “I think that best” Mar 14 22:16:16 * Morgan nods Mar 14 22:17:47 Perhaps he'll have something to distract him soon Mar 14 22:18:18 How long will it be until it is finished? Mar 14 22:19:25 A while yet... though its come along quicker than I expected. Did I tell you HeinzHarold asked me to lay the first foundation stone? Since, his Da isn't here to... Mar 14 22:20:28 Yes you did, I do wish I’d seen it Mar 14 22:21:00 It wasn't anything much... just the two of us lifting a big stone into the foundation trench. I had it engraved, though Mar 14 22:22:53 What did it say? Mar 14 22:23:14 'For Da' Mar 14 22:24:28 * Verity smiles “That’s lovely, dear boy” Mar 14 22:25:23 It just felt... right. Mar 14 22:27:36 * Verity nods Mar 14 22:27:56 Will you build a house for Elsie, or will they live in yours? Mar 14 22:28:19 No, they're having their own house as well. Mar 14 22:30:17 * Verity nods Mar 14 22:30:48 Will Claudia live here too? Mar 14 22:31:07 She'll have a cottage but... she's happier at sea Mar 14 22:35:35 * Verity nods Mar 14 22:35:50 Is she well-likes in Capperlucia? Mar 14 22:37:07 She fits in. All the warriors there are women Mar 14 22:38:44 * Verity nods “She and Uinise seem like very good friends “ Mar 14 22:39:01 * Morgan nods Mar 14 22:39:28 Claudia's charged with protecting her, they've spent a lot of time together... its natural they'd grow close Mar 14 22:40:30 * Verity nods Mar 14 22:40:54 it’s nice that Claudia has a woman friend, rather than just you and Heinzharold Mar 14 22:42:02 Is it? Mar 14 22:43:35 Yes, perhaps it will open her femininity up Mar 14 22:44:14 I wouldn't count on it mother Mar 14 22:45:53 * Verity nods sadly. HH notices them, and gestures $all okay?$ Mar 14 22:46:57 $Fine$ Mar 14 22:47:09 She's happy as she is Mar 14 22:48:09 * Verity nods Mar 14 22:48:31 $Got a minute?$ Mar 14 22:49:23 $Sure$ Mar 14 22:50:45 *HH comes over, and smoothly gets Inga to head in with Verity so it’s just the two of them* Mar 14 22:50:59 Whats up man? Mar 14 22:53:23 * Verity is now known as HH Mar 14 22:53:28 * HH looks concerned Mar 14 22:53:41 just worried ‘bout yer wife, she okay? Mar 14 22:53:50 She assures me she is Mar 14 22:54:07 * HH nods Mar 14 22:54:13 -you- okay? Mar 14 22:54:54 Worried mostly Mar 14 22:56:24 need a hug? Mar 14 22:56:29 * Morgan nods Mar 14 22:56:47 * HH hugs him, putting a hand on the back of his neck Mar 14 22:57:11 * Morgan holds onto him for a moment, relaxing a little Mar 14 22:58:53 Ain’t no one in the world more likely to know if they’re really fine Mar 14 22:59:10 * Morgan nods Mar 14 22:59:20 But she didn't know she was with child... Mar 14 23:00:24 * HH nods Mar 14 23:00:42 Aye... only two people you could ask... Mar 14 23:01:30 Oh? Mar 14 23:01:43 short guys or yer dream kid Mar 14 23:01:51 * Morgan shrugs Mar 14 23:02:04 Nieblungen aren't known for being overly helpful Mar 14 23:04:03 * HH nods “better hope she shows up then. Been a while?” Mar 14 23:04:17 * Morgan nods Mar 14 23:04:18 yeah Mar 14 23:06:08 what ya reckon she is? Mar 14 23:08:14 Maybe... her power is being able to, I don't know, influence the past... why she knows what's coming... because for her its already happened. Mar 14 23:08:39 * HH nods slowly Mar 14 23:08:44 Hang on... Mar 14 23:09:10 if she can do that, could she have saved Molly from the ball at Pott’s duel? Mar 14 23:09:37 I don't know man, I'm grasping at things I don't understand here Mar 14 23:09:51 * HH chuckles Mar 14 23:09:56 that’s what she said Mar 14 23:11:22 * Morgan snorts Mar 14 23:11:24 Shut up Mar 14 23:11:56 * HH sniggers Mar 14 23:12:27 Once met a lassie who thought it was a magic trick Mar 14 23:13:03 Really? Mar 14 23:57:18 * HH has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
