Apr 21 12:59:37 * Diana smiles shyly “Thank you. He’s such a nice man, but he’s very powerful” Apr 21 12:59:37 * Morgan nods Apr 21 12:59:40 I agree Apr 21 12:59:42 * Diana looks around when the door opens.

Adalbrecht has inserted himself and Verity into the conversation with Heidi and Zench* Apr 21 13:01:20 * Morgan shrugs a little, moving to Molly Apr 21 13:04:55 * Molly smiles when she sees him. Seb moves away over to his family Apr 21 13:06:48 * Morgan takes her hands, kissing her knuckles briefly Apr 21 13:06:51 My love... Apr 21 13:08:04 * Molly smiles warmly “Yes, my darling?” Apr 21 13:08:29 I missed you. The Eisenfurst was looking forward to seeing you... Apr 21 13:08:51 * Molly nods Apr 21 13:08:58 Now you have me Apr 21 13:12:32 well... maybe not -right- now Apr 21 13:14:19 * Molly smiles squeezing his hand and whispering “I wouldn’t take much persuading...” Apr 21 13:14:52 * Morgan blushes a little Apr 21 13:15:26 Lets get you to our guest... Apr 21 13:18:21 * Molly smiles, looking pleased with herself “Lead the way, my love” Apr 21 13:18:44 * Morgan nods, leading her toward the Eisenfurst Apr 21 13:19:26 *Adalbreecht is chatting happily with him about an event they both went to before the War* Apr 21 13:20:03 [oh he won't be happy if I interrupt him] Apr 21 13:22:49 [yes... but you -do- outrank him, and it -is- your home] Apr 21 13:23:07 * Morgan clears his throat, making his presence known Apr 21 13:28:08 *Adalbrecht does look a little disappointed, but Faulk looks delighted to see Molly* F: Our intrepid Ambassador returns! Apr 21 13:28:59 * Molly blushes, but curtsies appropriately “Your Grace, it has been an honour to represent the Konigsreich in this matter” Apr 21 13:29:49 * Morgan smiles Apr 21 13:30:10 She's worked extremely hard... made me prouder than normal to be Eisen... Apr 21 13:33:09 * Molly blushes even more, looking at him. She looks very touched Apr 21 13:34:02 F: A great success, and very profitable. The demand for more Capperlucian goods is very high, and I look forward to receiving the next shipment Apr 21 13:34:52 * Morgan nods Apr 21 13:35:06 Which reminds me... I have a small gift for you... not Capperlucian unfortunately... Apr 21 13:36:14 *Faulk nods* Thank you, Morgan Apr 21 13:36:28 * Morgan inclines his head Apr 21 13:36:31 Of course, your Grace Apr 21 13:39:13 Your Grace, have you been introduced to Uinise yet? Apr 21 13:39:30 I was waiting for you to return... Apr 21 13:40:11 * Molly nods Apr 21 13:40:49 I will find her and return Apr 21 13:41:35 * Molly leaves Morgan’s side. Faulk watches her, then looks to Morgan. “The voyage seems to have done her good” Apr 21 13:41:57 * Morgan nods Apr 21 13:42:21 She is so much more confident than she was... *he glances around* a small word of caution your Grace... Apr 21 13:45:31 * Molly is now known as Faulk Apr 21 13:45:33 Yes? Apr 21 13:46:52 Capperlucians are more... honest than you might expect... and much more direct. As my father and I can attest, if there's something Uinise doesn't like, including our behaviour, she'll tell you in a way that leaves no question to her views. Apr 21 13:47:07 * Faulk nods Apr 21 13:47:41 That will be refreshing, I am used to people dissembling Apr 21 13:52:44 * Morgan nods Apr 21 13:52:52 Even so, it can be surprising... Apr 21 14:00:13 * Faulk nods Apr 21 14:00:31 consider me forewarned Apr 21 14:00:59 She means no offence by it... just how they are Apr 21 14:01:10 * Faulk nods Apr 21 14:01:53 Her Excellency’s letter made some mention of their temperament Apr 21 14:02:12 * Morgan nods Apr 21 14:02:35 Can I recommend you don't visit the Empire? Its all sand and enormous spiders Apr 21 14:03:23 * Faulk nods Apr 21 14:03:52 I’ve never seen the appeal of the place Apr 21 14:04:25 I wouldn't have gone there, frankly, but... intelligence suggested the Capperlucian queen was there Apr 21 14:05:48 * Faulk nods Apr 21 14:06:06 I would have liked to meet their queen Apr 21 14:06:35 * Morgan smiles a little Apr 21 14:07:24 All our aims and whatnot aside... being able to reunite her with her family was very special Apr 21 14:08:44 After dinner I would like to hear all about the trip Apr 21 14:09:09 * Morgan nods Apr 21 14:09:44 I'm sure Molly will be pleased to tell you all Apr 21 14:10:36 * Faulk nods. Molly brings Uinise. Morgan can see Claudia keeping an eye Apr 21 14:13:13 M: Your Grace, May I introduce you to Uinise, Emissary of Capperlucia. Uinise, His Grace Fischler, Eisenfurst of the Konigsreich. Apr 21 14:14:00 *He inclines his head and she curtsies. They exchange pleasantries, and then she says “I thought you would have a crown” Apr 21 14:14:40 *Molly glances at Morgan, smiling slightly* Apr 21 14:15:15 [He'd like to hear all about the trip after dinner] Apr 21 14:18:30 [we can have stories around the campfire* Apr 21 14:19:17 [If you like, yes] Apr 21 14:19:23 * Faulk laughs “I thought you would be huge, taller than even tall men” Apr 21 14:20:33 U: I am short even at home. Many women are tall there Apr 21 14:20:42 * Morgan nods Apr 21 14:24:52 Your colouring is beautiful. The mother of my sons’ was similar Apr 21 14:26:10 U: Thank you. Your colouring is also beautiful, but I have no mother to my sons. Apr 21 14:26:44 *Molly bites her lip, trying not to laugh* Apr 21 14:27:09 * Morgan smiles a little, glancing around Apr 21 14:29:31 Do you have children, Uinise? Apr 21 14:29:59 [uh oh] Apr 21 14:30:05 U: No, I do not like men Apr 21 14:30:19 [oh dear lord] Apr 21 14:30:46 *the bell rings before Faulk has figured it out* Apr 21 14:31:13 The staff have been practicing preparing Capperlucian style dishes for your visit, your Grace Apr 21 14:32:20 * Faulk nods slowly, looking at Morgan “I look forward looking trying them *he offers Molly his arm* Apr 21 14:33:05 *Molly takes it with a briefly apologetic look to Morgan* Apr 21 14:34:33 * Morgan nods a little, his expression carefully schooled Apr 21 14:34:34 shall we, my dear? Apr 21 14:35:23 *Molly nods. The others are waiting to follow on* Apr 21 14:35:45 * Morgan offers his arm to Uinise Apr 21 14:39:10 *Uinise takes it* he’s not very tall for a king Apr 21 14:39:35 Eisenfurst,love... we don't have a king Apr 21 14:40:01 * Faulk is now known as Uinise Apr 21 14:40:12 he is the leader of your tribe Apr 21 14:40:18 Yes, he is Apr 21 14:44:23 *they go through. Uinise is sat between him and Faulk, Heidi and Zench next to His Grace, Molly, Adalbrecht and Verity on Morgan’s other side Apr 21 14:45:32 * Morgan waits for everyone to be present before seating his wife, then sitting himself Apr 21 14:51:04 *he can already smell the spices and pork of Capperlucia. The assorted guests look at the food that’s been laid out when the staff uncover it, chatting amongst themselves Apr 21 14:53:56 * Uinise does too Apr 21 14:54:11 Our food is good Apr 21 14:54:20 * Morgan nods Apr 21 14:54:39 Yes, it is... Apr 21 14:55:03 F: what are these white things? Apr 21 15:05:40 *Molly smiles* They’re parcels containing spiced pork and rice, they are delicious Apr 21 15:07:20 *everyone looks to Morgan, waiting for him to eat first* Apr 21 15:07:40 * Morgan does so Apr 21 15:09:10 *Everyone eats. Both Molly and Uinise look proud when everyone compliments the food and amazes over the new flavours and unfamiliar ingredients Apr 21 15:13:42 * Morgan smiles at them both Apr 21 15:16:02 *There’s not much chat other than about the food during the main course, though Edward’s cohort where he sits at the foot of the table amongst them is quite loud Apr 21 15:18:57 [are you alright, my love?] Apr 21 15:20:21 [So far, love, yes] Apr 21 15:27:28 *Molly looks around at the assembled guests, the Eisenfurst, her parents and the Rosenkrantzs who chat across the table, Edward and Mina at the other end, their assorted friends from Innesbruck and Sudlachenburg. She pauses in her eating, just watching them all Apr 21 15:27:59 [are -you- alright?] Apr 21 15:28:26 *She nods, biting her lip. Her eyes well up* Apr 21 15:28:51 [whats wrong?] Apr 21 15:29:42 [Look at all our family and friends, all together, after all the turmoil] Apr 21 15:30:46 * Morgan nods a little Apr 21 15:31:08 [We've come an awfully long way from running around after Catherine] Apr 21 15:33:03 [So, so far.] Apr 21 15:34:41 * Morgan nods a little, eating Apr 21 15:35:21 *Molly presses her leg to his beneath the table* Apr 21 15:37:36 * Morgan smiles a little, watching Edward and his friends Apr 21 15:42:32 *they seem to be having a good time. Mina is very quiet compared to them, but looks alright* Apr 21 15:47:39 * Morgan concentrates on enjoying his food Apr 21 15:49:39 *it’s when they’ve finished the main course that Faulk stands, tapping his glass. Everyone pays attention* Apr 21 15:52:30 F: I would like to make a toast. To Duchess Koertig, for her success in completing an Accord with Capperlucia and making them our allies. To Molly! Apr 21 15:53:09 *Everyone makes the toast, but he can see the micro-expressions of embarrassment in her face* Apr 21 15:53:47 * Morgan makes the toast, reaching over to take her hand Apr 21 15:54:56 *Molly takes it, squeezing. Everyone watches her expectantly* Apr 21 15:57:50 M: I’d like to make a toast to my Husband. Through every step and every mile, he believed in me without wavering. I knew without a doubt that I had his pride and support, and he had mine. For looking after me and the boys, and of course, his massive ship *she waits a moment for the laugh to subside * I cannot thank him enough *she looks to him, smiling and saying something from his own wedding speech* I simply wouldn’t be here without you... Apr 21 16:00:03 * Morgan smiles, looking touched Apr 21 16:04:07 M: To Morgan! Apr 21 16:05:05 *Evryone makes this toast too, and there’s some gentle banging on the table from the far end, all good-natured* Apr 21 16:05:35 * Morgan gracefully inclines his head Apr 21 16:10:47 Thank you Apr 21 16:11:53 *The pudding is brought out, several cakes with little jugs of cream* Apr 21 16:16:17 Molly: The cake is made with dried coconut, which I have one of in the ballroom for you to see. Fresh they last for about six weeks, though dried they can be used for several months. I hope you’ll enjoy it Apr 21 16:16:40 * Morgan sighs very quietly before watching the others Apr 21 16:17:45 *the others get their cake* Apr 21 16:17:54 M: My love, do you want some? Apr 21 16:18:32 No, thank you my love Apr 21 16:21:55 *Molly has some. The reactions are mixed, but Faulk loves it* Apr 21 16:22:39 * Morgan sips his drink, smiling a little Apr 21 16:25:40 I was not fond of the coconut... Apr 21 16:26:28 F: why not? Apr 21 16:26:39 * Morgan shrugs Apr 21 16:26:45 Simply, I didn't like the flavour or the texture Apr 21 16:27:44 F: I like it. I want more of this on subsequent shipments Apr 21 16:28:34 I'm sure it can be arranged Apr 21 16:33:36 *Faulk inclines his head, helping himself to a second piece* Apr 21 16:33:58 [he’s as keen for that as I am for you.] Apr 21 16:34:16 [I would hope in a different way] Apr 21 16:36:54 [to have you in my mouth and then swallow the cream? no, it’s the same] *she sips her wine casually* Apr 21 16:37:30 [Pack it in] Apr 21 16:40:23 [This is somewhat too important a situation for that] Apr 21 16:40:53 *Molly frowns ever so slightly* Apr 21 16:42:29 *Christopher coughs to get attention, and a footman brings him a box* I brought something with me from Foxcroft, dear boy, and I thought you might like to share it *he passes the box down towards them* Apr 21 16:43:04 * Morgan waits until it arrives with him, leaning toward Molly to look inside as he opens it Apr 21 16:46:14 *what is in there is yellow chunks that look sugar coated* Apr 21 16:46:35 [reckon thats the pineapple Florrie planted?] Apr 21 16:50:09 [yes, I do] Apr 21 16:50:26 Verity: What is it, dear boy? Apr 21 16:50:45 * Morgan smiles Apr 21 16:50:53 I -think- its pineapple... sugar coated Apr 21 16:52:07 *Molly takes a little, trying it* Apr 21 16:52:30 * Morgan watches her before doing the same and handing the box to a footman to share it out Apr 21 16:54:18 *Molly smiles* That is wonderful. Thank you, Uncle Christopher Apr 21 16:56:36 * Morgan nods, watching the rest being shared out Apr 21 16:58:36 *Everyone tries it, and Faulk like this as well* F: Now this I also need.

Apr 21 16:59:11 C: Yes indeed Apr 21 16:59:28 * Morgan nods Apr 21 16:59:32 Its wonderful Apr 21 17:03:11 *Christopher smiles* I will make some more when more pineapples grow Apr 21 17:03:39 Faulk: When you do, I will happily buy it from you Apr 21 17:05:53 *Christopher smiles, looking to Morgan* I think you might need a big hot house, dear boy Apr 21 17:06:21 Its an idea I've been considering, truth be told Apr 21 17:09:00 F: This would be in great demand, I’ve no doubt Apr 21 17:11:17 * Morgan nods Apr 21 17:11:32 I imagine so... a little more palatable to most than coconut I think Apr 21 17:12:38 *Molly finishes her wine* If you’ll all excuse me, I am going to fetch the boys to take them to the camp Apr 21 17:13:17 Alright my love Apr 21 17:14:25 *Molly stands, the others doing likewise* Apr 21 17:15:04 F: You will take us there, Morgan? Apr 21 17:15:26 Yes, your Grace, providing my wife has no need of me Apr 21 17:16:09 *Molly shakes her head* I will meet you all there Apr 21 17:16:45 * Morgan nods Apr 21 17:16:50 Then I shall Apr 21 17:17:59 *the next twenty minutes is filled with everyone getting their coats and cloaks, and they leave the house en masse.

Apr 21 18:41:40 * Adalbrecht chuckles “True” Apr 21 18:42:26 If I'd waited until you were finished,I would've looked indecisive and lacking confidence... not traits his grace would want in a Graf Apr 21 18:42:43 Indeed Apr 21 18:45:00 * Morgan nods, smiling a little Apr 21 18:45:04 Thank you for understanding Apr 21 18:45:37 V: He seems very pleased with you both Apr 21 18:45:46 You think so? Apr 21 18:47:52 *Verity nods, as does Adalbrecht* V: we’re very proud of you, dear boy Apr 21 18:48:29 * Morgan smiles, looking pleased Apr 21 18:48:39 Are you looking forward to spending the night outside? Apr 21 18:50:35 Verity: I’ve never done it before, I hope it won’t be too cold Apr 21 18:51:06 I think... we can arrange for some hot stones to be brought out before you retire...

These new foods were surprisingly nice Apr 21 18:58:25 * Morgan nods Apr 21 18:58:37 Their spices are quite nice in Capperlucia Apr 21 18:59:07 Ver: Perhaps you could bring us some one day? Apr 21 18:59:22 * Morgan nods Apr 21 18:59:29 I'll have some brought on the next journey Apr 21 19:00:31 I would see if you can have that hot house built quickly, and start a good crop of the Pined Apples Apr 21 19:02:29 * Morgan nods, smiling a little Apr 21 19:02:32 pineapples... Apr 21 19:03:33 They were very popular... Apr 21 19:05:00 Ver: it’s both sweet and sour, isn’t it?

Apr 21 19:26:16 * Morgan nods Apr 21 19:26:49 The Rosenkrantz line comes from Lisette's twin...

I think Ruth and Ilena are becoming friendly Apr 21 19:30:05 * Morgan smiles Apr 21 19:30:08 Thats nice Apr 21 19:30:42 V: They are not too far apart in age Apr 21 19:31:38 No, not really Apr 21 19:32:17 Are you going to tell His Grace about Molly?

Apr 21 20:21:39 E: lake house Apr 21 20:21:49 That too Apr 21 20:23:22 I would ask Maubourg Apr 21 20:23:43 I don't think he'd know how to build Apr 21 20:26:06 For work crews, Morgan. Apr 21 20:27:08 * Morgan looks a little surprised Apr 21 20:27:37 Oh, you didn't mean for him to... whats it called when a carpenter does woodwork? Does he carpent? Apr 21 20:27:59 how much did you drink? Apr 21 20:28:18 * Morgan smiles a little Apr 21 20:28:45 Barely enough drink in the house to get me drunk... especially since a certain group. Of drinking it like water... Apr 21 20:29:43 Ed: They would show you the same hospitality Apr 21 20:29:54 * Morgan nods Apr 21 20:29:57 I imagine so, yes Apr 21 20:32:01 Ed: Are you happy with the evening? Apr 21 20:32:11 * Morgan nods Apr 21 20:32:16 So far, yes Apr 21 20:34:30 V: where are you sleeping? Apr 21 20:34:51 I haven't decided yet Apr 21 20:37:52 Ed: our last camping trip did not go well Apr 21 20:38:19 No... Apr 21 20:40:25 V: I’m sure this one will be nicer Apr 21 20:41:20 I would certainly hope so Apr 21 20:43:04 Mina: Have you and Molly camped together before? *They had, in the Empire, making love in their tent and trying to be extremely quiet* Apr 21 20:43:13 * Morgan nods Apr 21 20:43:20 In the Empire, we had to Apr 21 20:44:45 M: did you enjoy it? Apr 21 20:45:00 * Morgan nods Apr 21 20:45:13 Not as much as I enjoyed sleeping on the roof last week though Apr 21 20:46:15 M: with Molly? Apr 21 20:46:29 * Morgan nods Apr 21 20:48:40 Edward smirks slightly * Apr 21 20:50:03 Something you wish to say? Apr 21 20:51:39 E: It sounds like you saw lots of stars, brother Apr 21 20:52:25 * Morgan looks around Apr 21 20:53:41 *everyone is still walking in little groups* Apr 21 20:54:16 [Are you coming my love?] Apr 21 20:54:51 [yes, I am] Apr 21 20:55:34 * Morgan frowns slightly Apr 21 21:33:28 *He can see Molly then, carrying a single lantern, they must have left the building from the other door* Apr 21 21:35:17 * Morgan sighs quietly, looking back to where they're going Apr 21 21:37:15 *They all eventually converge. Positions are found around the fire, but Dekker and Grendlik are showing the boys around the camp enthusiastically Apr 21 21:37:47 I think they're enjoying this more than the boys... Apr 21 21:38:55 Ed: Dekker always did, but he plays with his boys more now that they have the new house and the children live with them Apr 21 21:39:19 * Morgan nods, smiling Apr 21 21:40:42 *He notices Diana looking around until she sees Molly. Both Claudia, who is with Uinise, Jarvie, HH, Inga, and Ma, and Potts, with Edward’s friends, Zench, and Heidi, are giving a wide berth to Hannalore, who is with Seb, the Rosenkrantzs and the Forresters Apr 21 21:41:53 I think perhaps Diana wants you] Apr 21 21:42:54 [I’ll find her] Apr 21 21:43:45 [Are you alright?] Apr 21 21:44:52 [Yes, I am, I want to get chance speak to every one of our guests] Apr 21 21:45:26 [alright] Apr 21 21:48:19 Are you going to be with His Grace? Apr 21 21:49:18 I think that would be appropriate Apr 21 21:51:11 * Adalbrecht nods “I will show your Mother our tent” Apr 21 21:51:21 *Edward smirks a little again* Apr 21 21:52:56 * Morgan smiles a little Apr 21 21:53:00 I'll catch up with you soon Apr 21 21:56:41 * Adalbrecht finds Verity, and they go off between the tents Apr 21 21:56:45 * Adalbrecht is now known as Edward Apr 21 21:56:53 * Edward glances at his brother Apr 21 21:59:34 I'm glad he and I are on better terms Apr 21 21:59:41 * Edward nods Apr 21 21:59:54 Has he taken an injury to the head Apr 21 22:00:17 Don't be daft Apr 21 22:05:29 I am glad you are on better terms too Apr 21 22:05:39 * Morgan nods Apr 21 22:05:52 I'd best go make myself available to the Eisenfurst Apr 21 22:08:27 * Edward nods. He takes Mina with him to sit with his friends, making sure she has a cushion to sit on Apr 21 22:09:40 * Morgan makes his way to Faulk Apr 21 22:12:48 *Faulk is getting a drink from a footman. It’s a bizarre combination of formal and roughing it out here, but the night is warm and pretty, and there’s plenty of laughter Apr 21 22:13:28 Can I offer you some whiskey, your Grace? Its... lets say special. Apr 21 22:14:27 * Edward is now known as Faulk Apr 21 22:14:33 Yes please Apr 21 22:15:18 * Morgan nods, collecting a glass and pouring some of the very good whiskey from his flask Apr 21 22:16:43 I've a small bottle of this for you... Apr 21 22:16:49 * Morgan hands him the glass Apr 21 22:17:10 * Faulk takes it and sips it Apr 21 22:17:37 Now that is an -excellent- whiskey. Where did you get it? Apr 21 22:18:07 I acquired it in the highland marches... its Innish whiskey... Apr 21 22:20:09 * Faulk nods, sipping it again Apr 21 22:20:24 I’m very impressed Apr 21 22:21:01 I'm not sure there'd be much demand for such an expensive one... but I have one a little more reasonable but still very good... Apr 21 22:22:54 * Faulk nods Apr 21 22:23:22 Could you get me more? Apr 21 22:23:39 Yes... but it won't be cheap Apr 21 22:24:27 * Faulk waves that away Apr 21 22:24:42 I’d like ten bottles, if you are able Apr 21 22:25:40 I'll see what I can do... I've got a full bottle of the highland whisky for you, you can try that later if you like Apr 21 22:27:53 I don’t want to keep you up when it is a big day for you tomorrow Apr 21 22:28:06 * Morgan smiles a little Apr 21 22:28:33 It is... though sleep is not really much of a friend to me Apr 21 22:29:51 Her Excellency will need her rest though, I imagine Apr 21 22:30:20 I think she's rather excited to have so many guests... Apr 21 22:32:14 * Faulk smiles, watching she and Diana stood quite far aside from the others Apr 21 22:32:43 I was surprised to learn you had another child Apr 21 22:32:52 * Morgan nods Apr 21 22:32:57 It certainly wasn't the plan Apr 21 22:34:08 What will it mean for your future travels? Do you have a team of nannies and wet nurses? Apr 21 22:34:36 Emil travelled just fine... Apr 21 22:34:55 Did you contact the explorers guild as I suggested? Apr 21 22:35:16 I did indeed, and your cousin is highly recommended Apr 21 22:35:33 * Morgan nods Apr 21 22:35:39 Doesn't surprise me in the slightest Apr 21 22:37:53 * Faulk nods, just sipping the whiskey Apr 21 22:38:59 * Morgan smiles a little Apr 21 22:39:06 Uinise thinks Jarvie is utterly normal Apr 21 22:39:45 * Faulk smiles “Are her people like Jarvie?” Apr 21 22:40:35 Very much so... confident, skilled... and, obviously, being matriarchal the women are in charge of everything Apr 21 22:41:01 It must have been a shock to your system Apr 21 22:41:09 * Morgan nods Apr 21 22:41:49 It was quite the change... while Molly was. Running herself ragged trying to be the perfect ambassador and secure the trade, I spent my time looking after the boys, exploring... Apr 21 22:43:10 Time spent with one’s sons is always well-invested Apr 21 22:43:18 * Morgan nods Apr 21 22:43:22 Made a bit of history as well Apr 21 22:47:58 Oh? Apr 21 22:48:14 * Morgan nods Apr 21 22:48:44 Uinise is the curator of their museum... there's an exhibit about me... Apr 21 22:50:38 why! Apr 21 22:51:14 They have climbing walls... there's one thats never been conquered by an outsider... and only conquered twice by locals, and noone has ever managed it twice... Apr 21 22:52:32 I did not realised you climbed Apr 21 22:52:39 * Morgan smiles Apr 21 22:53:20 As often as possible... my parents had to chop down a tree when I was very young because I'd climbed out of the window... and it helped, being a sailor Apr 21 22:55:43 * Faulk laughs Apr 21 22:55:59 I know Colonel Fuchs climbs well Apr 21 22:57:23 Doesn't -really- surprise me... most sailors do Apr 21 22:57:40 * Faulk nods Apr 21 22:57:56 They send their apologies and regards Apr 21 22:58:04 * Morgan nods Apr 21 22:58:22 I'd have liked to have seen them, of course but... I wouldn't even consider asking Stef to travel Apr 21 23:49:06 * Faulk has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 21 23:59:45 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
