**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Apr 25 18:40:44 2024 Apr 25 18:40:44 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Apr 25 19:11:28 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Apr 25 19:14:18 It is something to consider. Ideally I would have him convert Apr 25 19:14:18 An argument could be made for a freiarr converting since a Grafdom is having to... or... an opportunity to be forward thinking and accepting... Apr 25 19:14:18 Perhaps Apr 25 19:14:18 *Morgan’s neck prickles* Apr 25 19:14:18 * Morgan looks toward Molly Apr 25 19:14:22 *she has her hand on Diana’s * Apr 25 19:14:24 We love and worship the same god... we just disagree on how to talk to Him Apr 25 19:14:26 * Faulk nods Apr 25 19:14:28 Yes we do Apr 25 19:16:42 *There’s laughter from by the fire. He feels like he is being watched Apr 25 19:17:00 * Morgan looks around slowly Apr 25 19:17:43 *Hannalore is watching him* Apr 25 19:20:04 * Morgan smiles a little at her Apr 25 19:22:09 *Hannalore smiles back warmly* Apr 25 19:23:47 Would you excuse me, your Grace? I think another of our guests wants my attention... Apr 25 19:24:59 *Faulk nods* Of course Apr 25 19:25:09 In a while I can tell you about the dragons Apr 25 19:27:44 Faulk: Yes, I’d like that Apr 25 19:28:03 * Morgan smiles a little before bowing his head and walking toward Hannalore Apr 25 19:28:54 * Molly is now known as Hannalore Apr 25 19:29:34 Good evening, your Excellency, I haven’t seen you yet properly Apr 25 19:30:12 Hannalore... how are you? Apr 25 19:32:01 I’m well. What about you? You look well Apr 25 19:32:16 * Morgan nods Apr 25 19:32:19 *He feels even more eyes on him this time* Apr 25 19:32:51 I'm alright. Enjoying settling into my home while also lamenting the lack of sailing... Apr 25 19:33:36 * Hannalore nods Apr 25 19:33:48 I’ve sailed more recently than for years Apr 25 19:34:21 * Morgan nods Apr 25 19:34:42 I've ticked off a few boyhood dreams in the last few months Apr 25 19:35:16 * Hannalore smiles Apr 25 19:35:37 Now you will have to start on your adult dreams Apr 25 19:35:52 * Hannalore blinks Apr 25 19:36:00 * Morgan smirks a little Apr 25 19:36:12 We'll pretend I heard that as you intended it, shall we? Apr 25 19:36:26 * Hannalore smiles, watching him Apr 25 19:36:54 I think that would be wise Apr 25 19:37:15 * Morgan nods, looking around Apr 25 19:39:21 I like your house, it’s similar to my former one in Rheinpfalz Apr 25 19:39:34 * Morgan nods Apr 25 19:39:59 It isn't so grand as my fathers house but... I don't know, it feels like a -home-, you know? Apr 25 19:41:32 * Hannalore nods Apr 25 19:41:46 I do Apr 25 19:43:35 * Morgan nods Apr 25 19:50:01 *She glances towards Claudia, who is sat with Uinise, HH, Inga, and Alice* Apr 25 19:50:13 Regrets, Hannalore? Apr 25 19:51:33 * Hannalore smiles “Who doesn’t have at least some regrets?” Apr 25 19:53:44 * Morgan nods Apr 25 19:53:49 True. Apr 25 19:54:47 Do you have any? Some former entanglements you didn’t make it work with? Apr 25 19:55:46 I have many regrets, but no entanglements to speak of, barring my wives Apr 25 20:00:59 * Hannalore nods “I was more miserable in my marriage than I could have pictured” Apr 25 20:01:25 So I was given to understand Apr 25 20:05:06 * Hannalore watches Claudia and Uinise. Claudia is smiling at something Uinise is animatedly saying Apr 25 20:05:10 Are they...? Apr 25 20:05:40 Is that any of our business? Apr 25 20:07:42 No... I suppose it’s not Apr 25 20:09:01 You cannot stand in the same river twice Apr 25 20:10:13 No, I learn that with Geralt Apr 25 20:10:17 learnt* Apr 25 20:10:32 * Morgan nods, frowning a little Apr 25 20:10:53 I'm sorry you had to endure that... it was not what any of us hoped Apr 25 20:12:54 * Hannalore nods Apr 25 20:13:20 We had both changed too much. The sweet innocence we had was gone Apr 25 20:14:53 * Morgan nods Apr 25 20:16:28 Its a pity Apr 25 20:17:47 * Hannalore nods “We have each had to move on to pastures new” Apr 25 20:18:25 * Morgan nods Apr 25 20:18:37 I was a little surprised when Sebastien asked to bring you Apr 25 20:21:01 He trades in the town where I live now. He’s handsome, and understanding Apr 25 20:21:28 * Morgan nods Apr 25 20:21:36 He's a good man I think Apr 25 20:22:33 * Hannalore nods Apr 25 20:23:23 I believe him to be, yes. The townsfolk speak well of him, and in Vesten our communities are close Apr 25 20:24:46 * Morgan nods Apr 25 20:25:27 The people in insel love him, and his family... which reminds me, a Vesten woman there who helped me with *he points to his hair*, she gave me a bottle of... something... Apr 25 20:26:32 * Hannalore nods “Gotlandsdricka. Her name is Hema, wife of Bjorn.” Apr 25 20:27:00 * Morgan nods Apr 25 20:27:05 Yes, thats right Apr 25 20:27:27 * Hannalore nods “I’ve met her twice with Sebastian” Apr 25 20:28:34 She seemed very nice Apr 25 20:29:45 * Hannalore nods Apr 25 20:29:50 She had a daughter Apr 25 20:30:34 * Morgan smiles broadly Apr 25 20:30:40 fantastic Apr 25 20:30:46 * Hannalore nods Apr 25 20:31:21 They named her Fulla, like the Old Vesten Goddess of plenty Apr 25 20:31:47 * Morgan nods Apr 25 20:32:26 Eisen had a similar deity Apr 25 20:32:52 * Hannalore nods Apr 25 20:33:48 Many places in the world did, until we took up the mantle of the Vaticine Church Apr 25 20:35:40 * Morgan nods Apr 25 20:36:17 She braided your hair, she said Apr 25 20:38:51 * Morgan nods Apr 25 20:38:58 Its taken some getting used to... Apr 25 20:39:04 * Hannalore smiles Apr 25 20:39:28 I might be biased by my blood, but I think it makes you more handsome Apr 25 20:40:30 * Morgan inclines his head Apr 25 20:40:36 I think its probably the blood Apr 25 20:42:02 I could teach your valet to braid it? Apr 25 20:42:58 That'd be useful, actually Apr 25 20:44:12 * Hannalore nods Apr 25 20:44:36 I could do it for you tonight so it’s fresh for tomorrow... Apr 25 20:45:14 perhaps... I wouldn't like to neglect my guests Apr 25 20:46:17 Do you get up early? Apr 25 20:46:49 Before dawn Apr 25 20:47:05 * Hannalore nods Apr 25 20:47:19 I’m no stranger to early mornings Apr 25 20:47:32 No? Apr 25 20:48:23 I have chickens, and a cockerel Apr 25 20:49:35 Oh, yeah, that'd do it Apr 25 20:50:44 * Hannalore nods Apr 25 20:50:57 I can come to you, or you can come to me Apr 25 20:52:59 I'll be out here somewhere, watching the sunrise... perhaps the drawing room sometime after that? Apr 25 20:55:36 * Hannalore nods Apr 25 20:55:43 I’ll be there Apr 25 20:56:22 * Morgan nods Apr 25 20:56:26 Thank you... Apr 25 20:58:10 You’re welcome Apr 25 21:00:41 *Potts and Edward start laughing, and this catches her attention* Apr 25 21:01:12 They're just so... -loud- Apr 25 21:02:08 * Hannalore nods, smiling slightly Apr 25 21:02:28 They are Apr 25 21:04:47 Would you excuse me? I want to speak to my wife... and I might have the Gotlandsdricka fetched... Apr 25 21:05:22 * Hannalore nods Apr 25 21:06:01 * Morgan smiles a little, inclining his head before looking for Molly Apr 25 21:08:59 * Hannalore is now known as Molly Apr 25 21:09:07 * Molly is still with Diana Apr 25 21:09:40 * Morgan frowns a little, moving toward Edward and Potts, signalling a footman on the way Apr 25 21:10:45 *One comes to him* Apr 25 21:11:03 * Morgan gives him instructions on where to find the vesten drink Apr 25 21:12:14 *the man goes* Apr 25 21:12:40 * Morgan carries on towards Edward Apr 25 21:12:47 [would I be interrupting?] Apr 25 21:13:35 [no, it’s fine] Apr 25 21:13:56 *Edward smiles* Brother Apr 25 21:14:13 * Morgan stops, looking at him speculatively before speaking quietly Apr 25 21:14:35 When I was in Avalon... one of the ways I tried to stay incognito was by getting work with a farrier... Apr 25 21:15:07 *Edward looks like he’s trying to work it out* yes? Apr 25 21:15:27 Obviously, he asked if I'd ever shoed a horse... I had to admit I hadn't, but I have told a donkey to fuck off Apr 25 21:15:35 * Morgan turns and walks away toward Molly Apr 25 21:17:22 *Edward and Potts laugh like schoolboys at this* Apr 25 21:19:16 * Molly is smiling when he gets there. Diana smiles too Apr 25 21:19:26 Ladies... Apr 25 21:21:30 My Lord... Apr 25 21:22:31 *The fire crackles as more wood is added, and the orange glow makes her hair look redder* Apr 25 21:23:08 Diana, would you mind excusing us for a moment? I need to talk to Molly... it won't take long Apr 25 21:25:15 *Diana nods, going back to Dekker who is stood with Witts and Zench. He casually puts his arm around her Apr 25 21:25:41 * Morgan watches them a moment before turning to Molly and gently taking her hands, bringing her knuckles to his lips Apr 25 21:25:46 I owe you an apology Apr 25 21:27:18 * Molly shakes her head Apr 25 21:27:22 No, you do not. Apr 25 21:27:40 Yes, I do. I snapped at you, and it was wrong. Apr 25 21:28:00 The error was mine, it is right to correct me. Apr 25 21:28:37 Stop it please... there was no error,I was just... I was anxious Apr 25 21:28:46 * Molly frowns slightly Apr 25 21:28:51 You were?! Apr 25 21:29:23 The Eisenfurst was sitting eating dinner in -our- house... of course I was Apr 25 21:29:33 * Molly nods Apr 25 21:29:36 I’m sorry Apr 25 21:29:45 You've no need to be Apr 25 21:31:58 It was poorly done of me. Another time, of course. Apr 25 21:32:20 * Morgan kisses her knuckles again Apr 25 21:32:46 * Molly turns her hand to gently cup his cheek Apr 25 21:34:23 * Morgan smiles a little Apr 25 21:35:10 I've had to tell his grace that you will not be sailing to Capperlucia this time... Apr 25 21:35:50 * Molly nods, chewing her lip a moment with a little worry Apr 25 21:35:55 how did he take it? Apr 25 21:36:34 I had to explain -why-. He is concerned for our endeavour, but very happy for us... he was asking how long before you could go again... Apr 25 21:37:57 I’m not. Not unless all our children are old enough to safely go Apr 25 21:38:45 I think that is a conversation we need to have. Jarvie I imagine, won't be quite ready to go this time... I think perhaps... sending a mirror would satisfy him Apr 25 21:39:12 how would we explain it? Apr 25 21:39:26 To him? I've already taken care of that Apr 25 21:42:14 * Molly nods Apr 25 21:42:30 And we will be safe, despite it. And Jacques? Apr 25 21:42:49 What about him? Apr 25 21:42:59 he will be safe? Apr 25 21:43:20 I don't see why not... I've not given any real details about how or what... just that its... possible. Apr 25 21:43:33 * Molly nods, relieved Apr 25 21:43:39 Alright... good... Apr 25 21:43:56 What were you doing with Diana? Apr 25 21:46:04 * Molly checks again that they can’t be overheard Apr 25 21:46:23 You told her I am an excellent medic, she needs some help Apr 25 21:46:39 Oh? Is she alright? Apr 25 21:47:18 She has been married more than six years without even a hint of a child, and her husband has previously had three Apr 25 21:47:31 I see... Apr 25 21:49:34 The problem I have is that she is fine, as far as I can sense Apr 25 21:49:50 * Morgan frowns Apr 25 21:49:54 thats... peculiar... Apr 25 21:50:00 * Molly nods Apr 25 21:50:16 Yes, it is Apr 25 21:50:18 Oh... I can see an awkward conversation on the horizon then... Apr 25 21:50:30 howso? Apr 25 21:50:59 Because either -he- cannot get her pregnant, which given his children is unlikely... -or-... Apr 25 21:51:06 Or? Apr 25 21:51:15 He is somehow actively avoiding it Apr 25 21:51:27 * Molly shakes her head Apr 25 21:51:53 They are intimate Apr 25 21:52:16 Yes but... what if its not being done to the appropriate conclusion... Apr 25 21:52:34 * Molly frowns Apr 25 21:52:50 Either she does not know what should happen, or he is faking it? Apr 25 21:52:59 Either is possible Apr 25 21:53:06 * Molly nods Apr 25 21:53:16 yes... yes it is. Apr 25 21:53:53 Maybe we can make that Stef and Colonel Fuchs problem? Apr 25 21:54:22 * Molly looks thoughtful, then smiles at him “And miss the chance to solve a mystery, my love?” Apr 25 21:54:31 Ah dammit Apr 25 21:54:36 * Molly giggles Apr 25 21:55:12 You, mon petit chou, are becoming an easy mark Apr 25 21:55:26 * Morgan frowns Apr 25 21:55:33 Best be changing that then Apr 25 21:55:59 And have you less susceptible to my feminine wiles? No, thank you Apr 25 22:47:33 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Apr 25 22:58:40 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
