**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Jun 1 00:08:44 2024 Jun 01 00:08:44 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jun 01 00:49:23 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jun 01 09:41:27 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Jun 01 09:43:03 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Jun 01 09:44:36 *Mondel coughs quietly* Jun 01 09:44:36 *He feels Molly smile against his neck before she turns, using her body as a shield for Morgan’s modesty* Jun 01 09:44:36 Mondel... Jun 01 09:44:36 *Mondel turns, bowing* Excellencies Jun 01 09:44:36 * Molly presses her bottom back against him Jun 01 09:44:39 Mondel, good morning. I hope everything is going smoothly in the house Jun 01 09:44:41 *Mondel smiles* It is, my Lady Jun 01 09:48:01 * Molly smiles “Wonderful. Could you see to a tray for us for coffee? I think we’ll take it in Morgan’s office, but you can knock and leave it on the table outside, I know how busy these days are for you all Jun 01 09:48:32 /me continues to apply pressure to his crotch with her behind as she talks to their butler Jun 01 09:50:02 * Morgan remains stoic Jun 01 09:50:48 *Mondel inclines his head. If he notices anything he says nothing. Then he goes further into the house again, and they’re alone* Jun 01 09:54:36 That was cruel Jun 01 09:58:42 * Molly sighs sadly, moving away Jun 01 09:58:57 “alright, my love. I’ll not do it again” Jun 01 09:59:04 I didn't say that... Jun 01 10:01:40 oh... not properly cruel, like you cannot abide in people. Jun 01 10:04:56 No love, not at all Jun 01 10:05:34 * Molly looks relieved, then smiles Jun 01 10:05:42 Good... Jun 01 10:08:19 * Molly moves closer, backing him against the doorframe like she’ll kiss his passionately. Then she kisses him so lightly that it’s almost like a whisper of her lips to his Jun 01 10:09:14 * Morgan grabs her, pulling her harder against him Jun 01 10:10:24 * Molly smiles against his mouth before making a little whimper, a little plea for more Jun 01 10:13:09 * Morgan lets go, moving her to unlock the door Jun 01 10:13:40 * Molly watches him with a smile Jun 01 10:14:17 Are you enjoying your new home, my love? Jun 01 10:15:07 * Morgan nods Jun 01 10:15:11 Yes, I rather think I am Jun 01 10:15:30 * Molly goes inside. the curtains are open Jun 01 10:15:49 Not as much as you enjoy your youngest son’s home though? Jun 01 10:16:30 * Morgan blushes, closing the door behind her Jun 01 10:18:30 * Molly looks around. The room now has his shelves with his cups, swords on the wall as well as some art work of Florrie’s and Varick’s, his rank badges, the blue-topped deck with matching Captain’s chair, and the blue chaise. It’s really started to look like his space now Jun 01 10:18:58 It is better? Jun 01 10:19:05 * Molly nods, smiling Jun 01 10:19:13 It’s definitely getting there Jun 01 10:19:25 * Morgan nods Jun 01 10:19:30 What else does it need? Jun 01 10:22:08 Hmmm... The ship-half that Gottlieb made up for the storm dancer, and the drawing Zareen did of you Captaining the Star Jun 01 10:22:25 * Morgan nods Jun 01 10:22:27 Good idea Jun 01 10:22:47 * Molly smiles “mmhmm, my head is most useful to you” Jun 01 10:23:05 * Morgan nods Jun 01 10:23:06 quite Jun 01 10:23:17 Pull the curtains, my love Jun 01 10:23:48 * Morgan nods, moving to do so Jun 01 10:24:24 * Molly is stood leaning against the desk when he turns back to her, smiling Jun 01 10:24:32 well now, is that better? Jun 01 10:24:48 * Morgan nods Jun 01 10:24:51 Yes I think so Jun 01 10:26:34 * Molly moves to him, embracing him with her arms around his neck. Against her neck, she smells not just pregnant, but of that most intimate scent of her increasing at her core Jun 01 10:27:13 * Morgan gently kisses her neck Jun 01 10:28:14 * Molly sighs happily. She tastes of it too there Jun 01 10:29:35 * Morgan presses his nose to her neck, breathing in deeply Jun 01 10:29:56 * Molly says quietly “This is what you do to me...” Jun 01 10:30:15 Hmm? Jun 01 10:32:13 * Molly touches her neck as she whispers in his ear “This, is from the arousal you cause to me, how slick my body becomes for you...” Jun 01 10:33:07 * Morgan groans, suddenly licking her neck Jun 01 10:34:26 * Molly gasps, then moans in response. She tilts her head to make that easier. She tastes indescribable, familiar and yet still newly saltier Jun 01 10:35:01 * Morgan moves, lifting her onto the desk Jun 01 10:36:42 * Molly kisses him, parting her thighs so he can get close, easy in the modified trouser skirt with the lapped fabric between them that she’d sewn for his access Jun 01 10:38:15 * Morgan pulls her against him, kissing her hard Jun 01 10:39:52 * Molly deepens it, boldly pushing her tongue deeper into his mouth to dance sensually with his. She makes a little “mmm” and an “mmmhmm” sound Jun 01 10:41:05 * Morgan 's hands roam over her body, down to her belly Jun 01 10:42:16 *Unlike when she’s holding it in around others, that firmness feels prominent to his touch* Jun 01 10:43:12 * Morgan smiles against her, running his fingers across her belly Jun 01 10:44:51 * Molly moans. It’s not the sound of acknowledgement of the tender and sweetness of this touch, it’s the sound of greater arousal at him touching her there Jun 01 10:49:25 * Morgan roams his hand lower Jun 01 10:52:37 * Molly nips his lower lip, her hand sneaking beneath his so that he can feel how she parts the lapped fabric for him almost as if she was splaying herself more intimately, the fabric folds representing the softer ones within them Jun 01 10:53:42 * Morgan makes noise of enjoyment, running his fingers through her slickness Jun 01 10:55:38 * Molly is clearly extremely aroused, everything beneath his digits hot, flushed, and swollen. She pulls her mouth from his, her head thrown back as she rests her arms on the desk “oh yes...” Jun 01 10:57:00 * Morgan smiles, watching her as he pushes two fingers inside her Jun 01 10:59:02 * Molly makes half a sob of relief, bucking against his fingers, her eyes tightly closed and brows down “Please, I can wait no more” Jun 01 10:59:57 For? Jun 01 11:00:33 I need relief, my love... Jun 01 11:01:29 * Morgan hooks his fingers toward him Jun 01 11:03:00 yes... oh god... *she arches her back a little. There’s the sound of footsteps outside* Jun 01 11:03:30 * Morgan places his other thumb in her mouth, listening Jun 01 11:06:21 * Molly sucks on it eagerly. It sounds like Mondel Jun 01 11:06:39 * Morgan keeps making a come hither motion with the fingers inside her Jun 01 11:07:15 * Molly whimpers, watching him, rapidly gearing up Jun 01 11:08:21 * Morgan keeps going, holding her tongue down with his thumb Jun 01 11:11:04 *She watches him, her gaze becoming deeply submissive. There’s the sound of the tray being set on the table Jun 01 11:12:21 * Morgan smiles a little, moving his fingers more forcefully Jun 01 11:14:38 * Molly suddenly peaks, her tongue tensing even as her body does, her hot core gripping his finger. She makes a high but quiet moan Jun 01 11:15:01 * Morgan watches her intently, not slowing at all Jun 01 11:17:11 *there’s a knock as usual, one they always do to let them know coffee has arrived. But it doesn’t inhibit her, and she comes hard once more, watching him intently too with a mix of submission and desire Jun 01 11:21:43 * Morgan smiles, pulling his fingers from her before sucking on them Jun 01 11:23:23 * Molly ‘s eyes widen at this, and she grabs at his wrist, pulling his hand to her so that his thumb finds her tonsils. She keeps her eyes on his intently Jun 01 11:23:45 * Morgan moans, pulling his cleaned fingers from his mouth Jun 01 11:25:25 * Molly purposefully swallows so that he can feel her firm tonsils move, mischief in her gaze once more Jun 01 11:26:00 * Morgan smiles Jun 01 11:27:06 [you are very calm, my love...] Jun 01 11:27:44 [I am considering whether to have your nose pressed to my groin... but I'm not sure I have the self control... Jun 01 11:29:19 [oh? why is that?] *she pushes deeper so that his thumb nestles into the gap between her tonsils, squeezed in the heat Jun 01 11:30:05 [I don't know I'd have the self control to not just... take you... and I'd end up spending in buried in your throat] Jun 01 11:30:44 * Molly nods around his thumb Jun 01 11:31:06 [do to me as you will, I am at your mercy...] Jun 01 11:32:23 [those are not wise words right now] Jun 01 11:33:01 [yet they are from the heart.] Jun 01 11:33:35 [on the floor, on your knees... now] Jun 01 11:34:33 * Molly releases his thumb. As well as looking deeply aroused, she looks somehow peaceful Jun 01 11:35:05 * Morgan moves away so she can get down, undoing his placket Jun 01 11:35:34 * Molly kneels, looking up at his with open wanting Jun 01 11:36:29 * Morgan pushes his placket down, his erection springing free, moving closer to her Jun 01 11:37:41 * Molly looks at him manhood, and he sees how her pupils widen at the sight of it Jun 01 11:37:50 I love to see you so hard Jun 01 11:38:51 * Morgan smiles, caressing her cheek gently for a moment before moving to entwine his fingers in her hair, holding it firmly as he moves his manhood to her mouth Jun 01 11:39:12 * Molly opens for him eagerly Jun 01 11:40:19 * Morgan holds her head in place as he moves forward, inexorably until he's hilted in her throat, groaning for a moment before withdrawing then thrusting again Jun 01 11:41:21 * Molly strokes his legs, watching up at him with desire and delight, her mouth warm and wet as her core had been Jun 01 11:41:53 [I want what you want to give to me...] Jun 01 11:42:07 [I don't know you can handle that] Jun 01 11:42:58 * Molly flushes a little across her cheekbones as she shivers Jun 01 11:43:18 [it is my desire to serve you, my love] Jun 01 11:44:29 * Morgan groans, thrusting harder into her throat Jun 01 11:46:17 * Molly relaxes further to better accommodate him, jaw stretched wide to fit his girth. He can feel the soft roughness up the underside of his shaft where she curves it to maximise his pleasure Jun 01 11:46:41 [you are sure??] Jun 01 11:48:13 [yes. I am yours to have your pleasure within] Jun 01 11:48:43 * Morgan nods a little, thrusting in earnest while holding her head in place until he is simply fucking her face, groaning Jun 01 11:51:21 * Molly grips at the back of his thighs, pulling a little, encouraging him on. When he hears her voice in his head, it is so soft, so submissive, and grateful [thank you.] Jun 01 11:52:09 * Morgan grunts as his shaft swells, pulling back enough to spill his seed into her mouth Jun 01 11:53:26 * Molly lavishes his head with her nimble tongue, swallowing Jun 01 11:53:56 * Morgan gasps a little, moaning as his manhood pulses in her mouth Jun 01 11:54:58 * Molly sucks firmly, drinking him down, mouthful after mouthful Jun 01 11:55:49 * Morgan moans eventually Jun 01 11:55:52 Oh god Jun 01 11:56:28 * Molly continues gently licking and sucking, enjoying it Jun 01 11:57:14 * Morgan sighs contentedly, pulling away Jun 01 11:57:41 * Molly watches up at him, looking dazed and happy Jun 01 12:01:03 * Morgan blows out a breath, looking at her Jun 01 12:01:05 Alright? Jun 01 12:01:38 * Molly nods enthusiastically Jun 01 12:01:41 That was hot. Jun 01 12:01:48 * Morgan smiles, helping her up Jun 01 12:02:36 Yes, it was Jun 01 12:03:40 * Molly smiles fondly Jun 01 12:03:52 you feel much better now, my love? Jun 01 12:04:26 * Morgan nods Jun 01 12:04:30 I do... and you? Jun 01 12:05:05 * Molly nods Jun 01 12:05:31 Yes, very much so Jun 01 12:06:01 * Morgan nods, leading her to a chair before doing up his placket Jun 01 12:07:01 * Molly sits, watching him. She gently strokes her little bump Jun 01 12:07:16 Do you know what I’d like to do today? Jun 01 12:07:36 uhhh... no... actually I don't Jun 01 12:09:48 That, again. But in the entrance hall. *she stays completely straight faced* Jun 01 12:10:27 Why? Jun 01 12:10:33 * Molly giggles Jun 01 12:10:47 I was teasing, my love. Not in the entrance hall. Jun 01 12:10:58 Just as well I think... Jun 01 12:11:04 * Morgan goes to get the coffee Jun 01 12:12:44 * Molly is still sat there when he gets back “Are you disappointed?” *she smirks* “did you want to do it in the entrance hall?” Jun 01 12:13:04 just... a little surprised is all Jun 01 12:14:07 * Molly moves to the chaise after pouring, patting the seat beside her Jun 01 12:14:11 talk to me, my love Jun 01 12:15:33 * Morgan sits down, sipping his coffee Jun 01 12:15:36 Why did you thank me? Jun 01 12:15:58 * Molly blushes a little Jun 01 12:16:21 Because it was so arousing to feel you let yourself loose like that Jun 01 12:16:55 It wasn't too much? Jun 01 12:18:01 * Molly shakes her head vigorously Jun 01 12:18:05 Not even slightly Jun 01 12:18:17 * Morgan nods a little Jun 01 12:18:20 alright Jun 01 12:18:30 * Molly strokes his arm Jun 01 12:18:37 And you? Jun 01 12:18:48 What about me? Jun 01 12:18:56 it was not too much for you? Jun 01 12:19:04 I don't -think- so Jun 01 12:19:37 You’re feeling insecure? *she watches him with concern* Jun 01 12:19:44 Maybe a little Jun 01 12:19:56 why, my love? what has you unsettled? Jun 01 12:20:19 It was a bit more... forceful than normal... Jun 01 12:20:38 It was divine. Jun 01 12:21:23 * Morgan nods Jun 01 12:21:30 Certainly felt like it to me Jun 01 12:22:06 * Molly blushes, smiling Jun 01 12:22:24 It was what you hoped? It felt as good as you’d pictured? Jun 01 12:22:44 * Morgan nods Jun 01 12:22:45 Definitely Jun 01 12:24:11 * Molly smiles contentedly Jun 01 12:24:24 Good *she sips her coffee* Jun 01 12:25:34 * Morgan shifts, relaxing a little Jun 01 12:26:14 * Molly glances sidelong at him before she nonchalantly says “Would you like to fuck my throat like that again one day?” Jun 01 12:26:55 * Morgan blushes Jun 01 12:27:13 I... think that fairly obvious Jun 01 12:27:55 * Molly smiles “I like to hear such things nonetheless” Jun 01 12:28:27 * Morgan nods Jun 01 12:28:29 yes... I would Jun 01 12:29:07 * Molly nods Jun 01 12:29:11 As would I Jun 01 12:29:15 why Jun 01 12:30:54 I enjoyed it, being so at your mercy, seeing the intensity of your need and arousal *she shivers* mmhmm Jun 01 12:31:31 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Jun 01 12:32:27 * Molly relaxes, drinking hers too with a happy sigh Jun 01 12:32:45 I should imagine you will be sated all day now! Jun 01 12:33:06 That is a possibility, yes Jun 01 12:33:44 * Molly nods, smiling Jun 01 12:33:48 I want to swim Jun 01 12:34:09 Oh? Jun 01 12:36:08 I haven’t been able to to, because of my changing body. I no longer have to hide myself Jun 01 12:36:20 No... you don't Jun 01 12:36:42 * Molly nods Jun 01 12:36:47 So I want to swim Jun 01 12:37:04 * Morgan nods Jun 01 12:37:06 Very well my love Jun 01 12:37:57 * Molly rests her cheek to his arm Jun 01 12:38:14 Shall we have lunch at the lake, we can invite the others? Jun 01 12:38:27 * Morgan nods Jun 01 12:38:29 That sounds nice Jun 01 12:38:35 * Molly nods Jun 01 12:38:49 I’d just love a day to Be, you know? Jun 01 12:39:15 * Morgan nods Jun 01 12:39:17 Aye, I do Jun 01 12:40:00 Unless you need a little nap now, hmm? If you’re completely exhausted and drained, that is... Jun 01 12:40:51 I'm sure I can stay awake Jun 01 12:59:08 Awake but not Up, hmm? *she smiles, Jun 01 12:59:16 * Morgan nods Jun 01 12:59:18 quite Jun 01 13:01:41 * Molly drinks her coffee happily, looking at his wall Jun 01 13:02:27 what rank would have been next? Jun 01 13:02:54 * Morgan looks up at them Jun 01 13:02:56 Commander Jun 01 13:05:07 Like Dekker?! Jun 01 13:05:36 * Morgan shrugs Jun 01 13:05:46 Its a bit complicated, their ranks aren't the same as ours... Jun 01 13:06:15 what would you have been after that? Jun 01 13:06:37 * Morgan sighs Jun 01 13:06:39 Captain Jun 01 13:07:40 Like of a ship, or over a group of Commanders? Jun 01 13:07:49 * Morgan smiles Jun 01 13:08:04 Its more or less the same thing... you can be a captain without a ship, but you can't run a ship without being a captain Jun 01 13:08:16 * Molly smiles Jun 01 13:08:23 But you wanted a ship... Jun 01 13:08:28 * Morgan nods Jun 01 13:08:29 Of course Jun 01 13:10:11 * Molly nods Jun 01 13:10:20 would you have gotten to name her? Jun 01 13:10:41 No... I'd have been assigned a ship Jun 01 13:10:52 Captains still take orders Jun 01 13:11:09 * Molly kisses his cheek Jun 01 13:11:33 Especially from Duchesses, hmm? Jun 01 13:12:33 Admirals, actually, but they like to dress up in finery as well... Jun 01 13:13:12 An Admiral wouldn’t do for you what a Duchess does though... well, one would hope anyway! Jun 01 13:13:42 They tend to wear a lot of feathers in their hats, so I wouldn't like to speculate Jun 01 13:13:56 * Molly giggles Jun 01 13:14:06 And where do Colonels come? Jun 01 13:14:22 In Stef Jun 01 13:14:27 * Morgan slaps a hand across his mouth Jun 01 13:15:34 * Molly laughs hard Jun 01 13:15:58 See! Sailors with dirty minds and dirty mouths! Jun 01 13:16:45 Uhhh... anyway... Jun 01 13:17:55 yes? Jun 01 13:18:17 * Morgan puts his coffee down, going to get a book before sitting back down, opening it to a well thumbed page Jun 01 13:18:34 Colonels are not... usual... in the navy... Jun 01 13:19:00 Its actually an army rank... and commanders aren't generally seen in the army... Jun 01 13:19:30 * Molly smiles “oh! how confusing” Jun 01 13:19:36 * Morgan nods Jun 01 13:20:10 An army colonel holds the same... lets say authority as a naval captain... whereas army captains are equal to naval lieutenants Jun 01 13:20:50 * Molly nods thoughtfully Jun 01 13:21:01 So you were already Dekker’s rank? Jun 01 13:21:33 * Morgan shows her the page, listing ranks Jun 01 13:21:50 Not entirely sure where his would sit, being an army rank Jun 01 13:28:21 * Molly nods Jun 01 13:28:34 it’s a lot, isn’t it... Jun 01 13:28:50 * Molly smiles, looking it over Jun 01 13:29:10 What is? Jun 01 13:29:13 Oh! I think you could have gone much higher though... Jun 01 13:29:24 No... no, definitely not Jun 01 13:29:59 * Molly nods “Mmhmm... I think you’d be a wonderful -Rear- Admiral” *she giggles, watching him* Jun 01 13:30:37 Behave yourself woman... Jun 01 13:31:50 * Molly smiles “If you call me that, it is impossible!” Jun 01 13:34:32 * Morgan smiles, sipping his coffee Jun 01 13:35:53 * Molly finishes hers Jun 01 13:36:14 I should go and wash, here... *she touches her neck* Jun 01 13:36:33 * Morgan nods Jun 01 13:36:36 I suppose you should Jun 01 13:38:24 * Molly giggles Jun 01 13:38:35 We wouldn’t want Edward noticing, hmm? Jun 01 13:38:47 No... that would be quite awkward Jun 01 13:39:51 And you do need a rest Jun 01 13:40:20 * Morgan nods Jun 01 13:40:23 Yes, I do Jun 01 13:41:30 * Molly still leans closer to kiss his cheek so her smells her again before she stands up Jun 01 13:43:35 But I wouldn’t want you entirely not wanting me, naturally... Jun 01 13:45:23 Thats hardly likely Jun 01 13:45:48 Good Jun 01 13:50:20 I shall do that, and then I’ll get ready to swim, if you’d be so good as to ask them below to put some things in a hamper for us? Jun 01 13:52:22 * Morgan nods Jun 01 13:52:26 I'll go do that Jun 01 13:55:25 * Molly nods, putting her empty cup on the tray on the way out, smiling over her shoulder “You might want to open the curtains...” Jun 01 13:56:14 * Morgan nods, finishing his coffee before putting the book away with a sigh and opening the curtains Jun 01 13:59:08 * Molly has gone off ahead by the time he gets out there, and Mondel is coming along the hall Jun 01 13:59:55 Ah, Mondel... would you have some food put in a hamper? We're all going to have a picnic down by the lake Jun 01 14:00:32 * Molly is now known as Mondel Jun 01 14:00:43 Yes, my Lord Jun 01 14:01:44 Thank you... we'll be talking to everyone before long but in the meantime, would you make it known how grateful we are to the staff for how they handled the guests Jun 01 14:02:33 * Mondel nods Jun 01 14:03:12 I will let everyone know, my Lord. But we all know we’re appreciated, I assure you Jun 01 14:05:17 * Morgan nods, smiling Jun 01 14:05:33 good. I'm going to get something more... suitable for messing about in a lake on Jun 01 14:06:51 * Mondel nods Jun 01 14:07:42 The boats have been taken to the lake there for you Jun 01 14:08:45 * Morgan nods, thanking him again before setting off to find Edward Jun 01 14:10:35 *He hears Edward from behind the nursery door* And I’ll huff and I’ll puff, and I’ll -blow- your house down! Jun 01 14:10:48 Florrie: No! No blow, Wolfie! Jun 01 14:10:50 * Morgan smiles, quietly opening the door Jun 01 14:14:22 *Florrie is sat on the floor. Edward is laid on his back, two hands in the air, one holding a wooden pig, the other with the wolf puppet. Alice is sat in a chair holding Emil with is quietly playing with a teddy Jun 01 14:14:27 * Mondel is now known as Edward Jun 01 14:14:53 Oh yes! I will blow and blow until all the straw floats away! Jun 01 14:15:28 * Morgan stands in the doorway, watching Jun 01 14:19:21 Florrie: No! *she comes to Edward, sitting on his chest. Edward gets winded, half laughing* Wolfie, no! Leave pigs alone! Jun 01 14:21:58 *Alice smiles at Morgan, then blushes and looks away* Jun 01 14:22:26 * Morgan watches her for a moment with a mildly confused look on his face Jun 01 14:24:21 *then he remember the ‘dog toy’ Jun 01 14:25:01 * Morgan smiles, looking back to Edward Jun 01 14:25:30 *Emil spots him* Vah-eee! Jun 01 14:26:03 * Edward sits up, holding Florrie on his lap Jun 01 14:26:32 Brother Jun 01 14:26:44 * Morgan goes over to Alice, taking Emil and holding him high for a moment before bringing him down to blow a raspberry on his cheek Jun 01 14:26:47 Wolfie... Jun 01 14:27:32 Fl: Wolfie bad, Ballhead! Jun 01 14:27:48 *Emil cuddles up* Jun 01 14:27:51 Wolfies just hungry sweetheart Jun 01 14:30:57 *Florrie gets off Edward, and he stands up. He goes to brush off his trousers but then recalls the puppet, slipping it off Jun 01 14:31:10 How are you, brother? Jun 01 14:31:51 Pretty good... we're going to spend some time by the lake, take some food down, thought maybe you would all like to join us Jun 01 14:32:25 * Edward nods Jun 01 14:32:58 We will do that. Mondel told me you’d gone for a walk, so we kept Emil busy in the nursery Jun 01 14:33:25 * Morgan nods Jun 01 14:33:37 We are grateful for a little time to ourselves after the last few days Jun 01 14:34:23 * Edward smiles faintly “I’d imagine so” Jun 01 14:34:40 * Morgan looks to Florrie Jun 01 14:34:48 What do you say, sweetheart, picnic and a swim? Jun 01 14:35:26 Fl: I swim, Eel swim Jun 01 14:36:10 * Morgan bounces Emil Jun 01 14:36:18 I'm sure he'll enjoy a little splash around Jun 01 14:36:36 * Edward checks his pocket watch Jun 01 14:37:03 I’ll get ready then. I will meet you back here? Jun 01 14:37:11 * Morgan nods Jun 01 14:38:36 I need to get changed myself, but I just want a quick word with Alice... Jun 01 14:38:59 * Edward nods, going out. As soon as he’s gone she says Jun 01 14:39:02 * Edward is now known as Alice Jun 01 14:39:10 I am so sorry, Morgan! Jun 01 14:39:20 * Morgan smiles Jun 01 14:39:25 Thank god for HeinzHarold Jun 01 14:39:30 * Alice is bright red Jun 01 14:39:43 I didn’t know what to say or do! Jun 01 14:40:22 No, I cant say I did either really... tenacious little fella, for a half rat half dog cross breed Jun 01 14:40:58 * Alice nods Jun 01 14:41:27 I had to get up in a hurry, I didn’t have time... Jun 01 14:41:40 * Morgan looks at her seriously Jun 01 14:41:58 You're thinking I'm angry? Disappointed? Losing respect for you? Jun 01 14:42:50 Any of those would be reasonable, I almost humiliated you in front of the Eisenfurst and could have harmed your standing Jun 01 14:43:58 But you didn't. And I daresay, given those in attendance, we could probably have turned it into something funny... once we got my father off the ceiling Jun 01 14:44:43 * Alice grimaces “Oh don’t!” Jun 01 14:45:00 * Morgan smiles Jun 01 14:45:02 Come here please Jun 01 14:47:25 * Alice does so Jun 01 14:47:48 * Morgan wraps his spare arm around her, pulling her for a hug and kissing the side of her head Jun 01 14:47:53 Nothing has changed Jun 01 14:48:25 * Alice hugs him Jun 01 14:48:51 I’ve only ever been that mortified once before in my life Jun 01 14:48:56 Oh? Jun 01 14:49:02 * Morgan squeezes her before letting go Jun 01 14:49:18 When my Father made me wet myself in Church when I was nine Jun 01 14:49:44 * Morgan nods Jun 01 14:49:47 That was cruel Jun 01 14:49:56 * Alice nods Jun 01 14:50:16 Does everyone know now? Jun 01 14:51:32 Don't be absurd. I had to explain to Molly I had given one of them to you... aside from that... Jun 01 14:51:43 * Alice blushes again Jun 01 14:51:47 Alright Jun 01 14:53:14 Obviously Inga and HeinzHarold knew -what- it was, but none of them know where peaches got it from Jun 01 14:53:53 * Alice nods Jun 01 14:54:09 Is it ruined? Jun 01 14:54:57 I've no had much chance to check f I'm honest love... Jun 01 14:55:27 Maybe it’d be better if I look instead... Jun 01 14:56:03 * Morgan smiles Jun 01 14:56:14 We'll deal with it later, once the little ones are asleep Jun 01 14:57:09 * Alice nods Jun 01 14:57:18 Did they all get off okay? Jun 01 14:57:29 * Morgan nods Jun 01 14:58:00 After some hijinks from Heidi and the Eisenfurst waiting until Witts was already wedged into his coach before telling me he wants me to get him some whiskey... yes, they're all safely on their way Jun 01 14:58:44 What did Heidi do? Jun 01 14:59:14 Moaned in Zench's ear before he got in the coach... but not before practicing it on pretty much everyone else Jun 01 14:59:23 * Alice laughs Jun 01 15:00:31 I like her, but she’s quite a force of nature Jun 01 15:00:38 * Morgan nods Jun 01 15:00:47 That she is Jun 01 15:02:28 They seem to have accepted Florrie and I better than I expected Jun 01 15:03:03 * Morgan nods Jun 01 15:03:29 There was some shouting... they felt a little... betrayed, I suppose, by his not telling them... that seems to have all been sorted out Jun 01 15:03:48 * Alice nods Jun 01 15:04:11 I think maybe they’ve accepted that it could have happened to any of them Jun 01 15:04:51 Oh, I don't know they've got the sense to think that far through it Jun 01 15:05:11 * Alice smiles Jun 01 15:05:24 Did DeeDee say anything about me? Jun 01 15:05:49 We spoke about what happened, in a round about sort of way Jun 01 15:06:15 He won’t talk about it to anyone, will he? Jun 01 15:06:51 No, love, he won't Jun 01 15:07:26 * Alice nods “He’s handsome, and before Florrie...” Jun 01 15:07:58 * Morgan nods Jun 01 15:09:05 * Alice smiles tentatively “At least a full grown man can’t be dragged from under your pillow and dumped on the breakfast table” Jun 01 15:10:04 I met a man called the mountain that could manage to do that... but generally speaking, no... Jun 01 15:13:06 * Alice nods “Are you glad everyone’s gone, except us?” Jun 01 15:13:40 Mostly, yes... I'm glad the stress of it all is gone Jun 01 15:14:09 * Alice smiles “I never asked if you wanted us to go too, we could have done” Jun 01 15:14:38 * Morgan shakes his head Jun 01 15:15:01 No, its fine... and I rather suspect the little lady could do with a day or so without so many people around Jun 01 15:16:36 * Alice nods, watching Florrie with a smile as she plays Jun 01 15:16:42 She’s done so well Jun 01 15:16:53 * Morgan nods Jun 01 15:16:56 She really has Jun 01 15:18:35 with your parents, and with Edward too Jun 01 15:19:18 I'm a little surprised it went to so well with my father if I'm honest... Jun 01 15:19:32 * Alice nods Jun 01 15:19:59 He has a natural way with children. From everything everyone said about him, I didn’t expect it Jun 01 15:20:29 * Morgan nods Jun 01 15:21:09 He was really very angry with Edward... and with me... should've known better than to think he'd carry that into his interactions with her Jun 01 15:22:02 It’s how it should be. We adults erred, not her Jun 01 15:22:50 * Morgan nods Jun 01 15:23:08 It was quite difficult for... well, him and mother, seeing her that first time Jun 01 15:23:59 * Alice nods Jun 01 15:24:14 Your Mother said as much Jun 01 15:24:34 * Morgan nods Jun 01 15:24:36 They adore her Jun 01 15:25:21 * Alice smiles Jun 01 15:25:40 I’m glad, Florrie deserves it Jun 01 15:25:50 * Morgan nods Jun 01 15:25:52 Yes she does Jun 01 15:27:47 *Florrie comes to Morgan with some wooden fruits and vegetables* Jun 01 15:27:53 F: For Wolfie. Jun 01 15:28:45 Oh, thats very kind of you sweetheart. We'll put them aside for him shall we? Jun 01 15:29:20 *Florrie nods* Jun 01 15:30:17 * Morgan takes them, putting them on a table Jun 01 15:30:26 Best tell Vati, so he can make sure Wolfie knows Jun 01 15:30:35 Fl: where Vati? Jun 01 15:31:52 Just gone to get changed so we can go to the lake Jun 01 15:32:05 Fl: I get changed? Jun 01 15:32:15 * Morgan looks to Alice Jun 01 15:32:31 Probably a good idea... I need to, and get this little man ready as well Jun 01 15:34:05 * Alice nods “Go on in our room, Florrie” Jun 01 15:34:14 *Florrie does so* Jun 01 15:34:35 * Morgan smiles, watching her go Jun 01 15:34:43 I'm going to miss the two of you so much Jun 01 15:34:54 We aren’t going yet Jun 01 15:35:05 I know, I. know... but... I know its coming Jun 01 15:35:56 * Alice nods Jun 01 15:36:11 I’ve got things to do on Morgan’s Rock Jun 01 15:37:03 I know love Jun 01 15:37:17 * Alice nods Jun 01 15:37:40 Should I take it back now so you don’t have to carry it around? Jun 01 15:38:46 * Morgan nods, fishing it from his pocket Jun 01 15:39:21 * Alice looks really embarrassed. Emil, however, thinks it does indeed look like a toy, trying to grab it Jun 01 15:39:42 * Morgan chuckles, handing it to Alice Jun 01 15:41:15 * Alice slips it into her dress sleeve, significantly more suggestive than intended, and then she meets Morgan’s eye, laughing Jun 01 15:41:58 * Morgan chuckles Jun 01 15:42:31 It feels like it’s full of holes! Jun 01 15:42:58 Oh dear... I suppose... peaches is a biter... Jun 01 15:43:23 * Alice nods Jun 01 15:43:30 I think that was the end of that Jun 01 15:43:53 I think Molly mentioned a spare... we'll get Uinise to send a couple of replacements when she returns home Jun 01 15:44:29 * Alice shakes her head “It’s alright” Jun 01 15:44:40 You would prefer to be without it? Jun 01 15:45:51 *Almost as if her name has summoned her, Molly walks in as Alice blushes “It’ll be difficult to forget what happened on the table” Jun 01 15:47:13 * Morgan nods, glancing to Molly before smiling Jun 01 15:47:30 Quite awkward Jun 01 15:47:45 E: Mama! *he starts sobbing* Jun 01 15:48:02 * Morgan chuckles quietly, bringing him to Molly Jun 01 15:48:05 Overact... Jun 01 15:48:39 *Molly still looks concerned* Oh have I been gone too long. I’m so sorry... Jun 01 15:49:00 love... he's entirely manipulating you... mother explained that Jun 01 15:49:34 * Alice nods Jun 01 15:50:18 *Molly takes Emil to the chair, starting to undo her dress* I know, but it still feels in my body like he’s distressed Jun 01 15:50:29 * Morgan nods Jun 01 15:50:52 I'm going to go get changed... Edwards doing likewise... Jun 01 15:51:32 *both women nod* Jun 01 15:51:51 * Morgan inclines his head before exiting the room, going to get changed Jun 01 15:54:57 *his room is neat and tidy, though there are two negligees laid out on the bed, a white lacy one and a navy blue and one, neither that he’s seen before Jun 01 15:55:09 * Morgan looks at them for a moment Jun 01 15:55:16 [Are these new?] Jun 01 15:55:55 [yes they are, one was the one Edward ordered, the other I bought in Freiburg] Jun 01 15:56:23 [They are very nice] Jun 01 15:56:30 * Morgan gets changed Jun 01 15:56:51 [I am glad you think so] Jun 01 15:57:33 *He finds his swimming breeches easily* Jun 01 15:58:44 * Morgan changes into a loose shirt as well Jun 01 15:59:01 [I think I'm ready but I dont wish to interrupt whatever conversation you might be having Jun 01 16:00:49 [None. I do not really know what I would say. Besides, she is still changing] Jun 01 16:01:06 * Morgan makes his way back to the nursery Jun 01 16:01:22 * Alice is now known as Molly Jun 01 16:01:48 * Molly is still nursing, Emil’s tanned hand on her pale breast Jun 01 16:02:01 * Morgan comes over, kissing her crown Jun 01 16:02:28 * Molly smiles warmly, and whispers Jun 01 16:02:32 Are you well? Jun 01 16:03:13 * Morgan nods Jun 01 16:03:17 Fine love... are you? Jun 01 16:04:15 * Molly smiles Jun 01 16:04:22 I am. I felt him again Jun 01 16:04:28 Really?! Jun 01 16:04:35 * Molly nods Jun 01 16:04:41 As I was changing Jun 01 16:04:49 * Morgan smiles Jun 01 16:04:51 Excellent Jun 01 16:05:08 I think it will happen more and more now? Jun 01 16:05:28 * Morgan nods Jun 01 16:05:31 I would think so, yes Jun 01 16:05:47 * Molly smiles, stroking Emil’s hair Jun 01 16:06:15 And it should only be a few weeks before you can feel him too Jun 01 16:06:22 * Morgan nods Jun 01 16:06:27 I very much look forward to it Jun 01 16:06:32 * Molly nods Jun 01 16:07:02 Do you recall it, with Jana? ((there’s no cannon)) Jun 01 16:07:10 * Morgan nods Jun 01 16:07:12 Yes, I do Jun 01 16:12:54 * Molly watches him gently Jun 01 16:13:06 would you tell me, when you can? Jun 01 16:13:19 * Morgan nods Jun 01 16:13:22 Later, perhaps Jun 01 16:16:39 * Molly nods Jun 01 16:17:43 Did you prefer the white, or the navy? Jun 01 16:18:07 * Morgan smirks Jun 01 16:18:09 Navy... Jun 01 16:18:19 * Molly giggles Jun 01 16:18:31 Fit for a -Rear- Admiral... Jun 01 16:18:56 Indeed... Jun 01 16:19:31 * Molly smiles. She’s about to reply when Edward opens the door Jun 01 16:20:08 * Molly promptly closes her mouth, glancing at Morgan with mischief Jun 01 16:20:38 * Morgan smirks, turning to look at his brother Jun 01 16:20:49 *Edward looks at them both before smiling* I hope I am not interrupting Jun 01 16:21:17 Only mildly Jun 01 16:21:47 * Molly smiles “Saving my husband from my teasing, that’s all” Jun 01 16:22:35 *Edward nods* It seems to be going around today Jun 01 16:23:09 Oh? Jun 01 16:23:36 E: I can only surmise you escaped Heidi Jun 01 16:23:52 Quite the opposite Jun 01 16:23:53 * Molly smiles, holding Emil’s hand Jun 01 16:24:44 *Edward puts himself in a seat nearby, not even looking at Molly’s bare skin* Jun 01 16:25:04 Were you subjected to both noises, or just the one? Jun 01 16:25:24 *Edward grimaces* Both, unfortunately Jun 01 16:25:35 * Morgan nods Jun 01 16:25:38 same Jun 01 16:26:00 E: I do not see why the second was necessary Jun 01 16:26:33 * Morgan chuckles Jun 01 16:26:43 Taht says more about you than you might imagine Jun 01 16:27:12 E: She sounded pained more than... the other. Jun 01 16:27:31 * Morgan smiles Jun 01 16:27:39 No... she didn't Jun 01 16:29:04 Edward: I disagree, brother Jun 01 16:29:19 I could explain why she didn't but that'd give more information than you're ready for Jun 01 16:29:37 [because he cannot truly appreciate the ecstasy of that intensity as you can?] Jun 01 16:30:21 E: I suggested she stick to the first Jun 01 16:32:21 She did not. It was quite effective... I've been meaning to tell you something... Jun 01 16:33:55 *Edward shrugs slightly * I expect we will still see his frustration when we arrive in June. what was it? Jun 01 16:34:28 I imagine so... something father said... about how luck he is to be surrounded by such wonderful grandchildren... Jun 01 16:36:26 Edward smiles, nodding: He is indeed, with another in Autumn Jun 01 16:36:34 * Morgan nods Jun 01 16:36:54 I thought you might appreciate that he feels so, with all the children... Jun 01 16:38:11 *Edward nods* I do. Jun 01 16:38:23 * Morgan nods Jun 01 16:38:26 I was very pleased Jun 01 16:38:33 * Molly glances at Morgan’s expression, saying nothing Jun 01 16:38:42 Edward smiles: As am I Jun 01 16:39:07 * Morgan nods Jun 01 16:39:18 Florrie brought some food for Wolfie, since he's so hungry... Jun 01 16:40:33 *Edward laughs* That’s thoughtful of her Jun 01 16:41:31 * Morgan nods Jun 01 16:41:34 Yes it is Jun 01 16:43:18 *Edward smiles at Molly* How did you enjoy the spectacle this morning, schwesterlein? Jun 01 16:43:56 * Molly smiles “You’d have to remind me what you mean, my morning has been quite spectacular!” Jun 01 16:44:13 *Edward snorts then laughs, looking at Morgan* Jun 01 16:45:37 * Morgan smiles a little, moving to stroke Emil's hair Jun 01 16:46:39 * Molly glances up at her husband lovingly, so open with it Jun 01 16:47:26 A lots gone on, brother... Jun 01 16:48:54 E: It does look that way. I meant Peaches with Heinzharold’s unfortunate looking dog toy Jun 01 16:49:23 If I ask you not to mention that again without giving you an explanation... would you do that for me? Jun 01 16:49:54 E: Of course, but I am perplexed that you’d need to Jun 01 16:50:12 Its a delicate subject Jun 01 16:50:39 [I will tell him it is mine, if you wish? A novelty, symbolic item to increase fertility?] Jun 01 16:50:54 [if you wish] Jun 01 16:51:16 * Molly smiles, lying smoothly and easily Jun 01 16:52:08 It’s a novelty, symbolic item that I was given in Capperlucia to increase fertility, it is supposed to represent an erect penis. Jun 01 16:52:42 *Edward laughs again* It certainly does! Are you supposed to rub it?! Jun 01 16:56:02 * Molly ‘s lips quick with amusement “You can, but not for too long if pregnancy is your aim!” Jun 01 16:57:40 * Morgan blushes Jun 01 16:57:49 *Edward roars with laughter at this, grinning at Morgan* You have picked for yourself a most witty wife, brother Jun 01 16:58:07 * Morgan nods Jun 01 16:58:12 That I have Jun 01 16:58:26 E: She keeps you on your toes Jun 01 16:58:46 * Morgan nods Jun 01 16:58:51 Indeed she does Jun 01 16:59:38 [it’s mostly the other way around!] *she sends him the image of her on tip toes to kiss him in the entrance hall earlier* Jun 01 17:01:00 [You might have a point there] Jun 01 17:01:24 * Molly smiles at him with mischief, but then looks back to the baby Jun 01 17:01:54 E: *he’s watching them* Are you doing that head thing to one another? Jun 01 17:07:42 * Morgan smiles a little Jun 01 17:07:56 Might be. Jun 01 17:07:58 [that was earlier.] Jun 01 17:08:12 * Molly smiles “It’s very useful” Jun 01 17:09:18 * Morgan nods Jun 01 17:10:42 *Edward smiles* You both look very happy Jun 01 17:11:00 * Molly smiles at Morgan Jun 01 17:11:03 Ah, well... there is more reason than you might think for that Jun 01 17:11:30 Edward: Oh? Jun 01 17:12:02 * Morgan nods Jun 01 17:13:35 Tell you once Alice is out here... don't want her feeling that we've excluded her Jun 01 17:16:09 *Edward nods. Molly finishes nursing and tucks away her reddened, elongated nipple before pulling up her dress and handing Emil to Morgan Jun 01 17:16:36 * Morgan puts him on his shoulder, patting his back Jun 01 17:16:51 *Edward smiles at the couple with their child* how long will you nurse for, schwesterlein? Jun 01 17:17:37 * Molly smiles warmly “For as long as I can” Jun 01 17:18:33 *Emil smells good, that faint, sweet, milky smell that he’s now familiar with* Jun 01 17:20:28 * Morgan smiles, kissing the boys head Jun 01 17:21:13 Edward: Mimi expressed concern that you do not have a wet nurse in place Jun 01 17:22:22 I am sorry that your wife is distracted from her daily concerns by thoughts of my bosom and its functions. Jun 01 17:24:13 * Morgan smiles a little Jun 01 17:24:19 *Edward chuckles at this* Jun 01 17:24:21 His Grace asked about it as well Jun 01 17:25:56 * Molly smiles “I hadn’t realised that those parts of me were of such interest to so many!” Jun 01 17:27:26 Edward: it is irregular for a noble woman to nurse her own children, especially into the time they are toddlers. Jun 01 17:29:39 * Morgan shrugs Jun 01 17:30:36 It’s also common for a noble wife to accept the attentions of other men after she delivers the heir and spare required of her Jun 01 17:31:43 Which would go -very- badly for those concerned Jun 01 17:32:08 * Molly glances at him, expression serious Jun 01 17:32:42 *Edward gives Morgan a look, a raise of eyebrows that conveys an “Uh oh!” Jun 01 17:33:28 What you're thinking... is not what I meant. I meant for those trying to -get- your attention... Jun 01 17:33:47 * Molly nods, looking back to Edward Jun 01 17:35:10 I will nurse every child myself, for as long as I can, with everyone that Theus grants us. If I need to, I will express and leave milk, as I had in Capperlucia, and Inga and I have discussed wet nursing for each other if it is ever needed Jun 01 17:36:23 *Edward looks intrigued* You would permit that, brother? Jun 01 17:36:35 Why would I not? Jun 01 17:37:37 Edward: I am not sure I’d want another person’s baby at my wife’s breast Jun 01 17:38:00 But you would happily have another womans breast t your childs mouth... Jun 01 17:38:48 Edward goes to say something, then stops, frowning: That is deeply illogical... Jun 01 17:39:00 True though... Jun 01 17:39:41 Edward: Yes... it is... Jun 01 17:40:08 * Molly looks to Morgan Jun 01 17:40:30 Would it have troubled you if I -had- wanted wet nurses only? Jun 01 17:40:44 * Morgan nods Jun 01 17:40:46 Yes, it would Jun 01 17:40:55 why? Jun 01 17:41:12 Because I don't believe it is the right thing to do Jun 01 17:41:42 Edward: But you are content to let Inga do so Jun 01 17:42:18 Thats different Jun 01 17:43:55 *Emil burps* Jun 01 17:44:56 * Morgan smiles Jun 01 17:44:59 Good boy Jun 01 17:46:19 *Alice and Florrie come in, saving further questions from Edward* Jun 01 17:46:27 A: Sorry, we’re ready Jun 01 17:48:13 * Morgan smiles Jun 01 17:48:27 Alright then... we'll go past the kitchen to get the hamper Jun 01 17:49:50 *Edward looks expectantly* Alice is now here, brother. Jun 01 17:50:36 Yes, I can see that Jun 01 17:50:43 * Morgan smiles a little Jun 01 17:51:27 * Molly smiles fondly at Morgan, nodding slightly Jun 01 17:52:02 We were laying out on the grass earlier, listening to the birds... Molly thought I was tickling her... but I wasn't touching her... Jun 01 17:52:36 *Edward looks confused, but Alice looks hopeful* Jun 01 17:53:13 I had a look, figured something was crawling on her, but there wasn't anything... Jun 01 17:54:31 E: What was it then? Jun 01 17:54:43 It wasn't -on- her tummy... Jun 01 17:55:14 Alice: You felt the quickening?! Jun 01 17:56:33 *Edward looks elated by this, but surprised. Molly nods, eyes filling up again* Jun 01 17:57:25 *Alice, despite being a ship captain, is not exempted from making that excited feminine noise when Molly stands so they can embrace* Jun 01 17:57:45 * Morgan smiles, rocking Emil Jun 01 17:58:00 Edward: Wonderful! Fantastic news! *he comes to hug Morgan* My congratulations, brother! Jun 01 17:58:25 * Morgan hugs him firmly Jun 01 17:58:30 Thank you... Jun 01 18:00:15 *Edward holds him tightly, past the normal point where one would pull away Jun 01 18:10:54 * Morgan doesn't pull away, whispering "are you alright?" Jun 01 18:11:24 *Edward whispers* Yes, my apologies *he pulls away* Jun 01 18:11:36 Florrie: Why hugging? Jun 01 18:11:52 * Morgan puts a hand on Edwards neck, looking at him seriously for a moment before looking to Florrie Jun 01 18:12:15 Because, sweetheart... Molly has a baby growing in her tummy and she has felt it move Jun 01 18:12:48 *Florrie looks at Molly’s stomach then says* No! No baby, got Eel! Jun 01 18:13:15 Its alright sweetheart, Emil will be the baby's big brother Jun 01 18:14:28 *Florrie looks unsure, putting her hand on Molly’s stomach, then nods* Okay, baby in tummy. Jun 01 18:15:06 *This is the thing that makes Molly suddenly burst into tears, huge sobs* Jun 01 18:15:23 Oh, my love... come here Jun 01 18:15:29 * Morgan holds his free arm out to her Jun 01 18:17:22 E: Here.... *Edward takes Emil from him* Jun 01 18:17:36 * Morgan smiles gratefully before pulling Molly into his arms Jun 01 18:18:01 * Molly comes into his arms, her tears hot against his neck, still sobbing Jun 01 18:18:21 Oh my love whats wrong? Jun 01 18:18:25 *Alice looks sympathetic, and picks Florrie up to hug her* Jun 01 18:19:06 [Jana... it should have been Jana and Dietlinde, for you.] Jun 01 18:19:28 * Morgan kisses her head Jun 01 18:19:33 Its alright my love... its alright Jun 01 18:19:36 Alice: We’ll fetch the hamper and meet you at the lake... Jun 01 18:20:07 And some blokners, please Jun 01 18:20:11 *Edward nods, putting Emil on his hip* Good idea Jun 01 18:20:33 * Molly continues to cry, and they quietly leave Jun 01 18:22:06 * Morgan waits until they have gone before speaking Jun 01 18:22:26 Its alright... Jun 01 18:23:01 * Molly shakes her head Jun 01 18:23:12 I... looked down... and... Jun 01 18:23:18 * Morgan nods Jun 01 18:23:25 Aye... I know Jun 01 18:24:19 * Molly sobs again “I’m so... sorry...” Jun 01 18:24:35 We've been over this... a hundred times... Jun 01 18:24:41 * Molly nods Jun 01 18:24:56 I know... but it feels... so... acute... Jun 01 18:26:18 * Morgan nods Jun 01 18:26:21 It does, I know Jun 01 18:28:24 * Molly nods, holding tightly to him Jun 01 18:28:33 it will pass... it must pass... Jun 01 18:28:37 * Morgan nods Jun 01 18:28:43 It will, love... it will Jun 01 18:29:44 * Molly nods, slowly quieting until she feels quite spent in his arms Jun 01 18:30:20 * Morgan kisses her head once more Jun 01 18:30:23 Its alright love Jun 01 18:31:55 * Molly nods, breathing slowly Jun 01 18:32:03 Oh god, I’ve embarrassed everyone Jun 01 18:32:40 No you haven't love Jun 01 18:33:13 * Molly sighs Jun 01 18:33:24 It’s to be expected, I suppose Jun 01 18:51:49 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jun 01 19:05:14 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Jun 01 19:05:57 It will, love... it will Jun 01 19:05:57 * Molly nods, slowly quieting until she feels quite spent in his arms Jun 01 19:05:57 * Morgan kisses her head once more Jun 01 19:05:57 Its alright love Jun 01 19:05:57 * Molly nods, breathing slowly Jun 01 19:05:59 Oh god, I’ve embarrassed everyone Jun 01 19:06:01 No you haven't love Jun 01 19:06:05 * Molly sighs Jun 01 19:06:07 It’s to be expected, I suppose Jun 01 19:06:09 Aye, it is my darling Jun 01 19:06:45 * Molly looks up at him, tears on her cheeks Jun 01 19:10:05 I should've expected this... I'm sorry Jun 01 19:11:28 no, it’s silly that -I- am upset Jun 01 19:11:41 No, its really not Jun 01 19:11:52 I rather suspect you are not alone in it Jun 01 19:12:41 no? Jun 01 19:13:08 No... Edward held on longer than I exected Jun 01 19:14:24 oh, poor Edward Jun 01 19:14:49 * Morgan nods a little Jun 01 19:17:27 you are too? Jun 01 19:17:53 * Morgan sighs Jun 01 19:17:56 A little Jun 01 19:19:29 * Molly holds tight Jun 01 19:19:40 this time will be the hardest Jun 01 19:19:53 * Morgan nods Jun 01 19:19:58 Yes... it will Jun 01 19:23:25 we will weather it together, my love Jun 01 19:23:35 * Morgan nods Jun 01 19:23:38 Yes love, we will Jun 01 19:23:51 * Molly kisses him gently Jun 01 19:23:55 thank you Jun 01 19:24:54 Whatever for?! Jun 01 19:25:17 soothing me Jun 01 19:25:51 always Jun 01 19:26:03 and for loving me Jun 01 19:26:50 * Morgan smiles Jun 01 19:26:53 Ah well, thats easy Jun 01 19:27:26 Easy?! to love -me-?! Jun 01 19:27:31 * Morgan nods Jun 01 19:27:40 Comes as naturally as breathing Jun 01 19:29:37 * Molly blushes Jun 01 19:29:59 you could not -live- if you stopped breathing Jun 01 19:30:57 Precisely Jun 01 19:31:35 * Molly kisses him again, not with passion but with intensity Jun 01 19:32:19 * Morgan holds his lips to hers, holding onto her firmly Jun 01 19:37:06 * Molly says nothing to his mind, but lets her feelings flow through to him, how fundamental he is to her, Like he is the sun at the centre of an Orrory, all the planets spinning around it, like he is the main mast to which the boom and sheets are attached. The feelings are strong and vast Jun 01 19:37:40 * Morgan just holds her quietly Jun 01 19:39:14 [I love you so much it dizzies and dazzles me, like watching up at a night sky from the sea] Jun 01 19:39:58 * Morgan smiles Jun 01 19:42:32 Its... overwhelming at times Jun 01 19:43:00 * Molly looks at him Jun 01 19:43:04 My love is? Jun 01 19:43:31 The strength of my love for you... Jun 01 19:44:58 * Molly smiles, and it lights her up Jun 01 19:45:06 It still surprises you? Jun 01 19:45:14 * Morgan nods Jun 01 19:45:16 It does Jun 01 19:46:38 * Molly smiles Jun 01 19:47:13 Even in my wildest dreams, I never imagined it could be like this Jun 01 19:48:54 * Morgan nods Jun 01 19:50:37 * Molly takes a deep breath Jun 01 19:50:44 Are you ready to eat? Jun 01 19:52:02 * Morgan nods Jun 01 19:52:05 Or swim at least Jun 01 19:52:31 * Molly smiles, taking his hand Jun 01 19:52:41 shall we then? Jun 01 19:53:18 * Morgan nods Jun 01 19:53:25 I thin I might take Edward aside... Jun 01 19:54:45 * Molly nods Jun 01 19:57:05 It might be good to Jun 01 19:57:26 * Morgan nods Jun 01 19:57:29 Yes, I think so Jun 01 19:58:34 * Molly nods. She keeps his hand through their home and out to the lake. He can see Emil toddle between Alice and Emil Jun 01 19:59:15 well... he's going to be harder to keep up with now Jun 01 19:59:37 * Molly nods, smiling Jun 01 19:59:59 His first steps yesterday, and Hirschen’s first felt movement today Jun 01 20:00:10 * Morgan nods Jun 01 20:04:17 *Edward spots him, immediately making the Need To Talk gesture Morgan taught him* Jun 01 20:04:58 * Morgan nods a little Jun 01 20:05:05 I'll take Edward off for a talk Jun 01 20:05:31 * Molly nods “Alright, darling one” Jun 01 20:06:21 * Morgan lets go of Molly's hand Jun 01 20:06:31 We're going to grab some blueberries... we'll be back shortly Jun 01 20:07:00 * Molly nods, going to sit with Alice Jun 01 20:07:12 * Morgan tilts his head at Edward, starting to walk Jun 01 20:07:18 * Molly is now known as Edward Jun 01 20:07:26 * Edward walks beside him Jun 01 20:07:32 How is she, brother? Jun 01 20:07:50 She's... upset... but she's alright... how are -you-? Jun 01 20:08:56 * Edward nods Jun 01 20:09:05 I am alright, yes Jun 01 20:09:22 Would you like to try that again, but in a more convincing manner? Jun 01 20:10:03 I am fine now Jun 01 20:10:19 But you weren't... Jun 01 20:10:59 No, my guilt overwhelmed me a moment back there, I confess Jun 01 20:11:24 * Morgan looks at him a moment before putting his arm around his shoulder Jun 01 20:14:50 * Edward accepts it Jun 01 20:16:32 I am never going to complain at being held onto like that Jun 01 20:17:20 I see your joy now and feel guilty that you were denied such before Jun 01 20:17:57 * Morgan nods Jun 01 20:18:01 That is understandable Edward Jun 01 20:20:17 I also missed that with Florrie Jun 01 20:21:30 Yes... you did. Rarely, though, have I seen a man who obviously adoring of his child... Jun 01 20:21:40 * Edward smiles Jun 01 20:21:51 She is a treasure beyond all others Jun 01 20:22:57 * Morgan smiles Jun 01 20:24:47 She's a little darling Jun 01 20:24:56 * Edward nods Jun 01 20:25:26 What is troubling your wife? One moment you seem to be flirting, the next she is crying Jun 01 20:26:06 Something very similar that troubled you, actually... Jun 01 20:27:52 She is upset that this is not the first time you’ve had this joy, even though it is a first for her? Jun 01 20:28:21 No, no... she was upset that Dietlinde and I, and Jana, should've had this joy... Jun 01 20:28:55 * Edward sighs Jun 01 20:29:15 I understand Jun 01 20:29:44 We are where we are, and where we are is full of love and happiness. We have to keep that in sight Jun 01 20:30:01 * Edward nods Jun 01 20:30:21 I assume you’ve led your wife through it with reassurance? Jun 01 20:30:28 Of course I have Jun 01 20:30:40 I have listened to your lessons closely Jun 01 20:31:41 * Edward smiles, looking proud of himself Jun 01 20:32:47 That pleases you? Jun 01 20:33:27 Naturally it does, your relationship is to be envied Jun 01 20:34:01 It has been hard fought to get Jun 01 20:34:15 * Edward nods Jun 01 20:34:47 There seems to be a peace between you that there was not to the same degree in Graben Jun 01 20:34:57 * Morgan nods Jun 01 20:35:32 I started, finally, letting Dietlinde go... or, rather... rest Jun 01 20:36:05 * Edward nods Jun 01 20:36:33 Do you wish with hindsight you had done that before becoming involved with Molly? Jun 01 20:36:50 * Morgan sighs Jun 01 20:36:56 I wasn't capable of it then Jun 01 20:37:30 * Edward nods Jun 01 20:39:09 Do you feel now that she is fully at rest? Jun 01 20:39:51 They always were... they were loved so deeply they had no reason to remain... Jun 01 20:40:44 * Edward nods, but his shoulders are tenser Jun 01 20:41:09 Don't hide from me brother... we've fought too hard to lose ground on that now Jun 01 20:42:11 I wish I did not feel that wait upon me Jun 01 20:42:34 So do I Jun 01 20:44:06 For me I do not feel they are at rest from my soul. Perhaps I will never feel it, and perhaps that is what I deserve Jun 01 20:44:32 Why do you feel that? Jun 01 20:44:42 which part? Jun 01 20:44:59 Why you don't feel they are at rest... Jun 01 20:46:08 Not literally, but as if I never walk fully alone. My guilt, the reminder of what I took, it endures Jun 01 20:46:43 Moreso at the moment? Jun 01 20:46:58 Yes Jun 01 20:47:24 That is understandable. Do you doubt they are at rest? Jun 01 20:47:39 No. I think you would know. Jun 01 20:47:54 * Morgan chuckles Jun 01 20:48:09 Oh yeah, with all the weird shit I go through, I'd be bound to know Jun 01 20:48:35 * Edward chuckles too Jun 01 20:49:53 quite, brother Jun 01 20:50:25 What troubles you -most- about it? Jun 01 20:50:59 It is -heavy-, and it seems I cannot loose it Jun 01 20:52:34 * Morgan nods thoughtfully Jun 01 20:52:57 Perhaps... a part of it could be eased? Jun 01 20:53:07 I am not sure how Jun 01 20:53:56 * Morgan looks at him speculatively for a moment Jun 01 20:55:08 How much of what troubles you is the pain you caused me, and how much is the pain you caused them? Jun 01 20:56:16 It is both Jun 01 20:57:44 okay... we've worked through our anger... our hurt together, have we not? Jun 01 21:00:25 Yes Jun 01 21:01:20 I think it is time you let that part go. Jun 01 21:03:25 I have been trying to, believe me Jun 01 21:05:01 I don't want you carrying this around anymore... Jun 01 21:05:29 * Edward nods Jun 01 21:05:35 I do know that, brother Jun 01 21:07:16 * Morgan nods, stopping and looking at him seriously Jun 01 21:08:01 As for how much you hurt them... it was intense but brief, fleeting. Over in barely an instant. Jun 01 21:10:31 * Edward flinches Jun 01 21:10:59 That is generous of you to say Jun 01 21:11:29 Like fuck it is. Or... it might be if I didn't know it to be true Jun 01 21:12:31 * Edward sighs Jun 01 21:12:37 You do not lie, I know. Jun 01 21:13:36 No... It did not last long... Jana wasn't even aware of what was happening... she wasn't scared. Jun 01 21:14:47 * Edward looks away, jaw turning rigid Jun 01 21:16:57 *And this begs a question... He’d been so sure he’d heard them scream for him. Had they? Or had he heard those sounds within the flames as a mix of the crackles and pops of his tortured house and his fear and imagination?* Jun 01 21:17:39 * Morgan frowns, pulling Edward to him, hugging him hard Jun 01 21:18:28 * Edward hugs him just as hard, as if he needs to crush them together to stop this topic ripping their bond apart Jun 01 21:19:16 * Morgan holds onto him, speaking quietly Jun 01 21:19:33 Its alright. We're okay... Jun 01 21:19:55 * Edward nods, but doesn’t seem to be able to speak Jun 01 21:20:08 Its alright... its just us here... Jun 01 21:22:08 * Edward nods. He can feel how Edward starts to cry Jun 01 21:22:21 * Morgan places a hand to the back of Edwards head Jun 01 21:22:28 Its alright, little brother, I've got you Jun 01 21:23:10 I cannot help but picture it happening to Florrie. Some nights recently it wakes me. Jun 01 21:23:18 * Morgan nods Jun 01 21:23:55 That is understandable. I've dreamed it, once... but not anything like where we are Jun 01 21:24:18 * Edward nods, pulling back and wiping his eyes Jun 01 21:24:32 I am sorry, today should be a joyous one Jun 01 21:24:58 It still is... don't -ever- apologise for needing to lean on me, or for sharing how you feel with me Jun 01 21:26:35 * Edward nods Jun 01 21:26:39 Thank you, brother Jun 01 21:26:55 * Morgan inclines his head, moving toward the blueberry bushes Jun 01 21:27:38 *The patch of bushes has spread and grown. There are a lot of them to pick* Jun 01 21:27:53 * Morgan throws some to Edward Jun 01 21:27:57 They'll make you feel better Jun 01 21:30:00 * Edward eats some, and then some more. And then a few minutes later, he flicks one at Morgan’s head Jun 01 21:30:13 dickhead Jun 01 21:30:20 * Edward laughs Jun 01 21:30:30 It was a fair shot Jun 01 21:30:42 It wasn't bad Jun 01 21:32:00 * Edward nods. The next one he manages to get down the back of Morgan’s collar Jun 01 21:32:19 I think thats enough blueberries for you Jun 01 21:32:25 * Edward smiles Jun 01 21:32:41 Will we take some back for our ladies? Jun 01 21:32:55 * Morgan glances at him Jun 01 21:32:57 Our ladies? Jun 01 21:33:52 Yes? Jun 01 21:34:00 I assume you mean Florrie... Jun 01 21:34:09 * Edward shrugs Jun 01 21:34:24 Alice is mine after a fashion at least Jun 01 21:34:39 I'd suggest keeping that line of thinking to yourself... Jun 01 21:35:30 * Edward waves a hand Jun 01 21:35:55 Not like that. I am faithful, and she is sworn off men anyway Jun 01 21:36:07 Is she? Jun 01 21:37:11 It seems so. Jun 01 21:37:35 What makes you think that? Jun 01 21:39:15 She has stated that interludes such as she and I had will never be repeated, nor does she want the control of a husband Jun 01 21:39:45 She values her freedom... I think that is an effect of her father... Jun 01 21:39:54 * Edward nods Jun 01 21:40:28 Quite. But if marriage is off the cards, and casual sex is off the cards, I can only conclude she has sworn off men Jun 01 21:42:31 * Morgan nods, moving back in the direction of the others Jun 01 21:42:38 Makes sense Jun 01 21:42:43 * Edward nods Jun 01 21:42:54 For Florrie’s sake, I prefer that Jun 01 21:43:08 She wouldn't let anyone endanger Florrie Jun 01 21:43:43 Of course, but I do not want another man standing in my shoes Jun 01 21:44:08 I can understand that Jun 01 21:45:12 * Edward sighs Jun 01 21:45:25 Tactless, Edward. Tactless. Jun 01 21:45:55 * Morgan shrugs Jun 01 21:46:13 It is what it is... a fact I simply must accept Jun 01 21:46:27 How have you found that with his presence here? Jun 01 21:46:44 Difficult, actually Jun 01 21:48:37 I am here for you in that, brother. I am not connected with him as Heinzharold, or Molly herself Jun 01 21:48:46 * Morgan nods Jun 01 21:48:58 I will confess I'm getting tired of hearing how good a man he is... Jun 01 21:49:18 * Edward nods Jun 01 21:49:57 I imagine they seek to reassure you for the safety and happiness of your wife and children, but it likely only antagonises you Jun 01 21:50:07 * Morgan nods Jun 01 21:50:40 quite. I've seen paths where he is not so good as Heinzharold thinks... but I cant tell him that Jun 01 21:51:37 * Edward nods Jun 01 21:51:53 Heinzharold would find it hard to accept Jun 01 21:52:12 Yes, he would Jun 01 21:52:34 * Edward nods Jun 01 21:53:05 Is it troubling you that you have foreseen him as a man unworthy of the blessings he would be given? Jun 01 21:54:09 yes... though I think it'd be different... in those other paths, one he was unfaithful but not unkind... the other... he was living a life where she was dreaming of me, of -this- life... it took its toll Jun 01 21:54:32 That’s confusing Jun 01 21:54:40 * Morgan nods Jun 01 21:54:42 Oh yeah Jun 01 21:55:09 Do these dreams cause the same strain between you and she now? Jun 01 21:55:42 No... Jun 01 21:55:55 * Edward nods Jun 01 21:56:07 Perhaps it is a warning not to let it? Jun 01 21:56:22 Perhaps. It probably helps that she doesn't remember them Jun 01 21:56:46 If they are at such odds, it is better she’s spared the pain Jun 01 21:56:55 * Morgan nods Jun 01 21:56:56 I agree Jun 01 21:58:20 But whether we like it or not, that is what must come to pass should you fall? Jun 01 21:58:49 Yes... it must Jun 01 21:59:47 * Edward nods “I will work to that, brother, but it will not bring me a moment’s joy” Jun 01 22:00:08 * Morgan nods Jun 01 22:00:19 She must be protected, at all costs Jun 01 22:01:04 * Edward nods, heading with him back towards the woman in question Jun 01 22:01:30 * Edward has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jun 01 23:01:29 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
