**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu May 9 00:12:08 2024 May 09 00:12:08 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) May 09 18:44:41 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined May 09 19:05:30 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined May 09 19:07:09 try keeping hold of his hands but lessening the support May 09 19:07:09 * Morgan glances at her before doing so May 09 19:07:09 * Martha looks back at him “you think I’m interfering” May 09 19:07:09 You ever had a dream thats so utterly vivid that the feelings linger once you've woken? May 09 19:07:09 * Martha nods May 09 19:07:12 several May 09 19:07:14 I had one... I was exceptionally angry with you... some of the irritation has lingered, thats all May 09 19:07:18 V: Why were you angry with Grandma? May 09 19:07:20 She'd done something that made me angry, but it was just a dream May 09 19:07:22 *Emil supports more of his own weight* May 09 19:07:24 * Morgan nods, reducing his support a little more May 09 19:07:26 *Emil looks a little off balance but manages it May 09 19:07:28 Thats probably about it... May 09 19:07:30 *Varick crouches down* Come on Emil, you can do it! May 09 19:07:32 * Morgan doesn't remove his support but doesn't help any either May 09 19:07:34 I think, though... mama will be upset if she misses him walking for the first time May 09 19:07:36 * Martha nods May 09 19:07:38 It’s very special the first time May 09 19:07:40 Lets wait for another time then Varick May 09 19:08:09 * Molly is now known as Martha May 09 19:08:54 V: Okay Vati. *he goes instead to wake Bir, who is asleep in the branches they’d brought off the ship* May 09 19:09:18 I thought I might help with the children so Molly can get ready May 09 19:09:29 * Morgan nods May 09 19:09:35 Sounds like a good idea May 09 19:11:48 * Martha smiles “It’ll give you time too” May 09 19:12:09 * Morgan nods May 09 19:12:16 How's David this morning? May 09 19:14:05 He was very tired May 09 19:14:27 * Morgan nods May 09 19:14:36 Sorry... I was in desperate need to help May 09 19:15:38 * Martha shakes her head May 09 19:16:05 The animals always have to come first, especially when there’s a youngling on the way May 09 19:16:27 I was completely out of my depth May 09 19:16:54 You did well to get them through it May 09 19:17:09 So I'm told May 09 19:18:35 I take it you won’t breed her this summer? May 09 19:19:40 Truth be told, we hadn't even intended this one... May 09 19:21:03 * Martha smiles “Horses catch easy, especially in the first three months after. David has joked before that I might be part Mare” May 09 19:21:33 So we need to be calling you Mare-tha? May 09 19:23:37 * Martha giggles. It’s rare to hear, but she sounds more like Molly May 09 19:23:49 That’s very quick May 09 19:24:14 I've been told I'm quite witty... only if I'm given a run up at it though May 09 19:26:43 * Martha smiles “Will you still take Xantha back to Sudlachenburg?” May 09 19:27:38 Much as I'm loathe to be without him, I don't imagine he'll tolerate being aware from his mate and child... May 09 19:29:34 It could be quite a while that you’re in Sudlachenburg for, Will you need to go back and forth? May 09 19:29:45 I'd imagine so, to be honest May 09 19:32:19 Babies come in their own time May 09 19:32:38 * Morgan nods May 09 19:33:04 I've been meaning to ask... how would David feel being left in charge of Sudlachenburg for a while? May 09 19:34:36 He’ll be fine, it’s well-known he’s essentially the Graf’s second in command May 09 19:35:14 * Morgan nods May 09 19:35:31 I'm hoping to send my parents to my uncles for their anniversary... its where they met May 09 19:39:03 * Martha nods May 09 19:39:09 I’m sure he won’t mind May 09 19:39:40 Obviously I'll be fairly close by May 09 19:41:50 * Martha nods May 09 19:41:58 It isn’t that far May 09 19:42:32 * Morgan nods May 09 19:42:34 quite May 09 19:43:52 I’ll be able to help with the children all the time May 09 19:44:43 I expect you'll be helping Sascha and Otto? I think they'll need it... May 09 19:45:28 * Martha nods May 09 19:45:47 Where will Molly have the baby? May 09 19:46:00 All being well, Sudlachenburg May 09 19:46:16 Wonderful, then I’ll be able to be there May 09 19:47:15 We'll see, mama... I don't know what the plans will be yet May 09 19:48:34 * Martha nods May 09 19:48:49 Shall I send for the children’s breakfast? May 09 19:49:33 If you would... I reckon we'll need to be leaving by ten May 09 19:50:52 * Martha nods May 09 19:51:04 I’ll see to that for you May 09 19:51:32 Thank you mama. I'll go check on Molly May 09 19:52:06 * Martha nods, taking Emil May 09 19:53:43 * Morgan tickles his chin before moving, listening at the door to make sure the coast is clear before going into his room May 09 19:54:05 * Martha is now known as Molly May 09 19:55:12 * Molly is sat at the dressing table. Her hair is done, complete with the tiara from Faulk, and she’s made up, but she’s just in her satin robe. She smiles May 09 19:56:10 Morning love May 09 19:57:23 Did you get your hair done? May 09 19:57:47 * Morgan nods, bowing his head so she can see it May 09 19:58:31 * Molly nods May 09 19:58:40 Nice and tidy again May 09 19:58:52 * Morgan nods, putting the brush on the dresser May 09 19:58:55 That thing is amazing... May 09 19:59:32 * Molly looks at it May 09 19:59:38 it’s a brush? May 09 19:59:52 * Morgan nods May 09 19:59:53 It is May 09 20:07:43 What’s so special about it? *she runs her thumb over the spikes* May 09 20:07:52 Its made with reeds, or something May 09 20:08:54 it’s very flexible May 09 20:09:06 * Morgan nods May 09 20:09:08 Yes, it is May 09 20:10:30 does it remove knots quicker? May 09 20:10:44 Mine wasn't particularly knotted, so its hard to say May 09 20:11:04 * Molly nods May 09 20:11:25 Tonight you may brush mine out, and we’ll see what happens May 09 20:11:51 * Morgan nods May 09 20:11:53 Alright love May 09 20:12:47 Are you well? May 09 20:13:02 * Morgan nods May 09 20:13:06 Tired, though... May 09 20:13:09 And you? May 09 20:17:15 * Molly smiles May 09 20:17:29 Excited, nervous, and I missed you last night... May 09 20:17:56 For the first part anyway May 09 20:19:31 Yes, it’s often the part that comes right before sleep that I miss most *she smiles at him* May 09 20:20:08 * Morgan smiles, blushing May 09 20:22:44 Have you eaten? May 09 20:23:12 No... I've been busy checking the horses, showing Varick, finding HeinzHarold... all that sort of stuff May 09 20:24:29 * Molly nods May 09 20:24:38 I think you should, my love May 09 20:24:49 Have -you- eaten? May 09 20:27:06 Yes, I have a little May 09 20:27:13 A little? May 09 20:29:49 I’ve had toast May 09 20:29:57 * Morgan nods May 09 20:30:04 alright... I don't want to risk you feeling faint... May 09 20:31:57 * Molly nods “I’ll keep something in the coach, don’t worry” May 09 20:32:18 * Morgan nods May 09 20:32:23 Good, thank you May 09 20:33:27 * Molly nods May 09 20:33:36 Did you need to listen to him? May 09 20:33:44 That'd be nice May 09 20:35:46 * Molly nods “Here, or the bed?” May 09 20:35:58 The bed I think May 09 20:37:17 * Molly gets up. She smiles at him as she sheds the gown, adorned only be the silver and diamonds in her hair, looking simultaneously regal and maternal May 09 20:37:29 * Morgan smiles, watching her May 09 20:38:04 * Molly lays on the bed but propped on her elbows instead of flat May 09 20:38:14 I have to be careful of my hair May 09 20:38:35 * Morgan nods, laying his head on her tummy May 09 20:38:39 Don't want to be ruining it May 09 20:39:07 until bedtime... May 09 20:39:23 indeed May 09 20:39:37 *he can just, very faintly, hear it without help May 09 20:40:40 * Morgan smiles, sighing contentedly May 09 20:41:57 * Molly gently strokes his hair. Her belly is warm, both soft and firm beneath his face May 09 20:44:07 Thats much better May 09 20:46:36 Can you hear him today? May 09 20:46:43 Just abouts May 09 20:47:02 that’s exciting, isn’t it? May 09 20:47:31 * Morgan nods May 09 20:47:33 It certainly is May 09 20:47:55 If I could only feel him move! May 09 20:48:58 * Morgan nods May 09 20:49:02 I know... May 09 20:50:20 * Molly stays quiet so he can keep listening. It’s hard to shut out the scent of her that he likes so much, but it’s almost certain they’re get interrupted today* May 09 20:53:36 * Morgan sits up after a few minutes May 09 20:53:52 I suppose I'd best go get something to eat, start corralling the others to getting ready May 09 20:54:41 * Molly sighs May 09 20:54:49 Yes you really should May 09 20:57:59 * Morgan nods, kissing her cheek May 09 20:58:22 * Molly smiles May 09 20:58:37 How is a Duchess supposed to survive in these conditions, hmm? May 09 20:59:21 Its unbearable really May 09 20:59:26 * Molly nods May 09 20:59:37 truly it is. it’s a torment May 09 21:00:16 * Morgan nods sympathetically May 09 21:01:28 You can see how I suffer! May 09 21:02:48 Not too much longer, hopefully May 09 21:03:11 Only until bedtime? May 09 21:03:46 * Morgan nods May 09 21:03:48 Most likely, yes May 09 21:05:35 * Molly watches him with mischief as she caresses a hand between her breasts, over her bump, and gently cups between her thighs “I’ll try to keep my eagerness to myself...” May 09 21:06:04 Best had, the place is due to be overrun with interlopers May 09 21:07:42 * Molly sniggers “I would hope not, my love! This particular place is only open for one man...” May 09 21:09:53 Well, if anyone happened to trespass, there'd be death... May 09 21:10:34 * Molly nods May 09 21:10:58 Perhaps you should -nail- a sign to the door, to be sure... May 09 21:11:41 Mmm, thats a possibility May 09 21:12:21 * Molly nods. She brings her hand back up, not looking away from him as she licks the tips of her fingers May 09 21:12:43 * Morgan blushes May 09 21:13:07 * Molly leans up, chastity kissing his cheek May 09 21:13:57 Menace. I'll see you in a little while love May 09 21:14:04 * Molly nods May 09 21:14:22 You certainly will. Dresden has hung up your clothes May 09 21:14:44 * Morgan nods, rolling his eyes briefly May 09 21:15:16 Breeches... I look forward to removing your stockings with my feet later... May 09 21:15:54 Very well my love May 09 21:16:42 * Molly gets up, picking up the gown May 09 21:17:30 we’ll have more time later May 09 21:17:47 Yes love, we will May 09 21:21:29 * Molly blows him a kiss as she covers her belly up and ties the gown May 09 21:21:42 * Morgan smiles before heading out to go get some breakfast and coffee May 09 21:25:12 *The kitchen is not the quiet space he’s used to, it seems to be all hands on decks, multiple tasks going on at once* May 09 21:25:35 * Morgan is careful to stay out of the way May 09 21:27:24 *there are some snappy remarks now and then, but Frau Arendt gets them all back in line right away May 09 21:29:06 * Morgan watches them impassively May 09 21:29:28 * Molly is now known as Arendt May 09 21:29:35 * Arendt comes over May 09 21:29:55 Sorry, my Lord, things are a little stressful today May 09 21:30:57 Not my first time in a kitchen when there's a sudden influx of nobility May 09 21:31:32 We just want to make it all go well May 09 21:31:48 * Morgan smiles May 09 21:31:59 I have faith in you all. May 09 21:32:39 * Arendt smiles May 09 21:32:49 Thank you, my Lord. Did you need s9methi;g? May 09 21:32:59 something* May 09 21:33:00 * Morgan lifts his cup May 09 21:33:07 Already got it. I'll get out of your way May 09 21:34:37 I hope it goes well, my Lord May 09 21:35:27 * Morgan nods May 09 21:35:41 Me too. Any problems, let us know... May 09 21:36:04 * Arendt nods May 09 21:36:07 I will May 09 21:37:05 * Morgan nods, inclining his head before leaving the kitchen and going out onto the lawn May 09 21:38:45 *It looks like every staff member who isn’t cooking has been set to putting out all the tables and chairs for the party afterwards. He also sees all of Edward’s friends pitching in May 09 21:40:37 * Morgan smiles briefly, drinking his coffee as he watches May 09 21:42:34 *Potts and Zench are in some sort of competition over who can carry the most chairs. DeeDee is stood talking to Claudia* May 09 21:42:47 * Morgan watches them May 09 21:44:54 *They seem to be deep in conversation* May 09 21:49:06 * Morgan mutters, watching their body language closely May 09 21:50:43 *it doesn’t look flirty nor like a conflict, but he can see the awareness they seem to have of each other* May 09 21:51:04 * Morgan sighs, finishing his coffee May 09 21:54:08 *Claudia spots him* $hey$ May 09 21:54:31 $You okay? Looks serious$ May 09 21:55:37 $telling me about his nightmares of the Ashkoven$ May 09 21:55:51 $ah shit$ May 09 21:57:24 $yeah$ May 09 21:58:56 $Need my help?$ May 09 21:59:16 $No...$ May 09 22:00:15 * Morgan shrugs slightly May 09 22:00:21 $As you wish$ May 09 22:01:17 $Do you think the Nieblungen could take them away?$ May 09 22:02:16 $Its possible. Want me to go find out?$ May 09 22:03:38 $See if they could take away his memories of killing that woman too?$ May 09 22:04:07 $And if it changes him entirely? Thats a fundamental thing for him$ May 09 22:06:22 $lessen it?$ May 09 22:06:43 $I can ask$ May 09 22:07:12 *Claudia nods slightly* May 09 22:08:19 * Morgan nods, trudging off toward the trees May 09 22:29:38 * Arendt has quit (Read error: EOF from client) May 09 23:15:21 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
