Whatever words come to mind, she doesn’t seem able to voice them Mar 20 18:42:28 * Morgan watches them for a moment Mar 20 18:42:38 okay. I'll see what I can do about it as soon as I can Mar 20 18:43:30 C: thanks Mar 20 18:44:05 * Morgan nods, finishing his drink Mar 20 18:48:39 Uinise: Will I be meeting many new people tonight? Mar 20 18:48:48 * Morgan nods Mar 20 18:49:27 Yes... though I don't want you getting overwhelmed Mar 20 18:51:00 Uinise smiles: I know I can leave when I wish Mar 20 18:51:19 * Morgan nods Mar 20 18:51:38 If you could let me know if you need to, just so I'm not wandering around looking for you, I' appreciate it Mar 20 18:57:36 Uinise nods: You don’t need to, Clowdia gives good care to me Mar 20 18:58:11 I know she does. But it also means I'm not looking for you to introduce you to anyone Mar 20 19:01:50 *She nods* yes Mar 20 19:02:09 * Morgan nods, smiling a little Mar 20 19:02:34 Alright... I suggest you both take some time together before people start arriving... it'll be tougher to achieve once they're here Mar 20 19:06:39 *Uinise stands, keeping Claudia’s hand* We will Mar 20 19:07:11 Good. Go on then Mar 20 19:11:02 *They go, but they have to part hands when they leave the sanctuary of his office in a way that he’d never have to do with Molly, nor HH with Inga Mar 20 19:11:25 * Morgan frowns before tidying up and locking the office as he leaves, going looking for Molly Mar 20 19:13:43 * Molly is found in their suite’s parlour, sat on the floor with Emil on her lap and Florrie and Varick sat with her. Mina, Alice, Verity, Martha, and Inga are all in here sewing Molly’s dress Mar 20 19:14:21 Looking industrious... Mar 20 19:15:42 *Everyone looks pleased to see him, especially Emil and Florrie* Mar 20 19:16:11 V: Dear boy, we were just talking about your friend Frau Fuchs Mar 20 19:16:19 Oh? Mar 20 19:18:27 V: her baby is due in July, isn’t it? we were talking about the perils of having summer babies Mar 20 19:18:58 * Morgan nods Mar 20 19:19:32 I do worry for her Mar 20 19:19:43 Do you? Mar 20 19:19:52 * Morgan nods Mar 20 19:19:59 Given their losses in the past... Mar 20 19:23:02 Martha: It’s always a risky business, but less risky by this many months Mar 20 19:24:06 * Morgan nods Mar 20 19:24:22 We'll have to wait and see Mar 20 19:25:38 Alice: I don’t envy her the heat Mar 20 19:25:52 * Morgan nods before smiling a little Mar 20 19:26:01 Its distinctly more comfortable than Capperlucia Mar 20 19:26:11 *Verity and Martha both nod* Mar 20 19:26:26 * Molly smiles ‘that was hot!’ Mar 20 19:27:02 V: Vati even had no shirt on sometimes, and that was brave because he doesn’t like his scars Mar 20 19:27:37 * Molly closes her eyes a moment, and Inga watches him with concern Mar 20 19:27:49 * Morgan takes a shallow breath, looking at the floor Mar 20 19:28:28 *Verity says nothing, but he knows her well enough to know she won’t forget* Mar 20 19:28:51 I: Heinzharold takes any excuse, he loved the sun Mar 20 19:29:03 * Morgan nods Mar 20 19:29:41 He's always liked showing off... he got switched on our first ship for swinging bare chested on a rope from one sail to another Mar 20 19:32:10 *the ladies laugh at this. Mina and Alice are sat as far from each other as they could Mar 20 19:33:06 * Morgan stretches round, scratching at the back of his neck Mar 20 19:33:28 [Edward is going to tell his friends about Florrie tonight... ] Mar 20 19:34:20 [that will be hard for him] Mar 20 19:34:38 [Yes it will. We're not sure if I will be able to support him] Mar 20 19:36:52 E: Vah-eee uh! Mar 20 19:37:04 * Morgan smiles a little Mar 20 19:37:07 Come here then... Mar 20 19:37:11 [why not?] Mar 20 19:37:23 [because we will have guests and you might need me] Mar 20 19:37:44 * Molly lifts him, then pretends to drop him, making the baby laugh Mar 20 19:38:20 * Morgan chuckles before taking him Mar 20 19:38:30 [We can see to that beforehand... no, I’m fine, my love] Mar 20 19:38:52 [I'll think about it] Mar 20 19:39:06 Now then, young man, what have you been getting up to, hmm? Mar 20 19:41:03 *Emil babbles to him, grinning* Mar 20 19:48:23 * Morgan chatters to him Mar 20 20:15:27 Mina: Has Edward gone to speak with DeeDee? Mar 20 20:16:13 * Morgan nods Mar 20 20:16:24 Yes, he has... he figured he might have some insight that I cannot help with Mar 20 20:19:05 V: Is Edward troubled, dear boy? Mar 20 20:19:43 * Morgan nods Mar 20 20:21:16 He is trying to work out how best to tell them about the little lady... Mar 20 20:22:51 V: *she nods* Poor Edward Mar 20 20:23:32 While I can give support, I don't know them like DeeDee does, so... Mar 20 20:23:43 *Mina is quite expressionless, Alice looks a little more wary* Mar 20 20:24:24 V: *she nods* He will be helpful, I’m sure Mar 20 20:24:48 * Morgan nods Mar 20 20:24:53 I imagine so. He's a good man Mar 20 20:28:27 *There’s a quiet hush falls over the room, and then Emil fills is by saying “Bees! Mamam bees!” Mar 20 20:28:59 * Morgan chuckles a little, handing him back to Molly Mar 20 20:29:05 bees... Mar 20 20:33:30 * Molly stands up wit Mar 20 20:34:08 with him, looking to the others “I’ll be back soon. My love, I think he needs changing too...” Mar 20 20:34:58 * Morgan nods Mar 20 20:35:00 Alright blossom Mar 20 20:40:36 [If you needed to join me...] Mar 20 20:40:58 Will you all excuse us? I'm going to help change my son Mar 20 20:44:05 *As they go out, he hears Martha say “David used to avoid that whenever he could” Mar 20 20:44:36 * Morgan quietly closes the door Mar 20 20:47:42 Tense in there... Mar 20 20:49:15 * Molly nods Mar 20 20:49:22 Oh yes Mar 20 20:49:53 * Morgan sighs Mar 20 20:49:57 pity Mar 20 20:52:11 why, my love? *She hands him the baby* Mar 20 20:53:08 I'd really have liked it to be a bit more settled Mar 20 20:55:47 * Molly nods sadly Mar 20 20:56:00 Me too. Mar 20 20:56:47 * Morgan bounces Emil Mar 20 20:56:53 Nothing we can do about it Mar 20 21:02:37 No, we can only try to be happy and peaceful ourselves Mar 20 21:02:46 * Morgan nods Mar 20 21:02:49 indeed Mar 20 21:07:01 * Molly gives him the things to change the baby Mar 20 21:10:05 * Morgan takes them, setting to it Mar 20 21:12:10 * Molly starts undoing her dress once she’s sat in the rocking chair Mar 20 21:12:23 How are you otherwise? Mar 20 21:12:50 Alright, I suppose. It was difficult not letting on to mother earlier Mar 20 21:16:39 Was she asking? Mar 20 21:16:54 *Emil coos away, lying still* Mar 20 21:17:17 No, not exactly... Mar 20 21:17:28 * Morgan gets him cleaned and changed, blowing raspberries on his tummy Mar 20 21:18:15 *Emil laughs, grabbing Morgan’s hair* Mar 20 21:18:23 what was she saying, my love Mar 20 21:18:34 * Morgan shrugs Mar 20 21:18:52 We were talking about Edward and Mina not being with child yet... Mar 20 21:20:59 * Molly nods Mar 20 21:21:16 she is sad neither of us are? Mar 20 21:21:42 * Morgan nods Mar 20 21:21:45 Yes Mar 20 21:22:18 * Molly nods sadly Mar 20 21:22:33 it must be hard not to be lying about it Mar 20 21:22:47 I'm not lying... I'm just... avoiding it entirely Mar 20 21:23:11 I know you aren’t, but it must be getting harder Mar 20 21:23:30 * Morgan nods Mar 20 21:23:32 Yes, it is Mar 20 21:25:22 * Molly sighs “It’s not easy” Mar 20 21:26:03 No, it isn't Mar 20 21:27:33 not much longer Mar 20 21:27:42 E: bees Mar 20 21:28:03 * Morgan nods, picking him up and taking him to Molly Mar 20 21:28:54 * Molly smiles, taking him “Now my little lamb, let’s get you fed” Mar 20 21:30:44 * Morgan sits down, watching them Mar 20 21:34:21 * Molly gets Emil into position across her lap, and then latched. She watches him lovingly as she strokes his hair Mar 20 21:34:58 Mother and Florrie seem to be getting along Mar 20 21:41:29 * Molly nods Mar 20 21:41:51 Florrie is a little shy still with everyone, but better than I had feared Mar 20 21:42:31 * Morgan nods Mar 20 21:42:40 I imagine she'll withdraw some in the next few days Mar 20 21:44:47 * Molly nods Mar 20 21:45:12 We should ensure she has time outside away from the guests Mar 20 21:46:09 * Morgan nods Mar 20 21:46:35 Edward wants Alice and Florrie to remain in the nursery for dinner... let the shock of their existence settle in his friends minds before meeting them... Mar 20 21:48:58 * Molly frowns Mar 20 21:49:11 It seems unfair to Alice Mar 20 21:49:19 Yes, it does... Mar 20 21:51:15 * Molly thinks Mar 20 21:51:32 Maybe Heinzharold and Inga would stay upstairs with her Mar 20 21:51:48 * Morgan nods Mar 20 21:51:51 I would imagine so Mar 20 21:54:57 * Molly nods Mar 20 21:55:10 I would do so, but I’m rather needed downstairs Mar 20 21:55:41 * Morgan nods Mar 20 21:55:49 I imagine I am expected to be present Mar 20 21:57:36 * Molly nods Mar 20 21:57:51 You are the man of the house, my love Mar 20 21:58:00 * Morgan nods Mar 20 21:58:03 That I am Mar 20 22:00:14 Everyone wants you at the head of the table... *she smiles a little* Mar 20 22:00:43 I'm impressed you could make even -that- rude Mar 20 22:02:57 * Molly giggles Mar 20 22:03:13 when it comes to you, my imagination is expansive Mar 20 22:03:41 * Morgan nods Mar 20 22:03:42 Evidently Mar 20 22:06:48 * Molly nods “You are very fortunate “ Mar 20 22:07:13 * Morgan nods Mar 20 22:07:15 I am rather Mar 20 22:09:32 * Molly nods “how is Edward?” Mar 20 22:09:51 Anxious. He's terrified of his friends reactions Mar 20 22:10:43 They could be quite angry Mar 20 22:11:06 * Morgan nods Mar 20 22:11:10 They will feel betrayed I'm sure Mar 20 22:11:55 * Molly nods Mar 20 22:53:34 * Molly has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Mar 20 23:12:40 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
