**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jun 13 08:03:12 2024 Jun 13 08:03:12 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Jun 13 10:50:26 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Jun 13 10:51:02 Morgan, are you coming? Jun 13 10:51:02 No, its just the way I'm floating Jun 13 10:51:02 * Morgan smirks, swimming a little closer to adjust himself before getting out Jun 13 10:51:02 * Edward laughs “It’s so cold out here it’d be impossible” Jun 13 10:51:02 Nonsense. Mind you... I prefer the cold Jun 13 10:51:05 * Edward nods Jun 13 10:51:07 Your coffee is cold Jun 13 10:51:09 * Morgan concentrates on it for few seconds Jun 13 10:51:11 Is it? Jun 13 10:51:13 * Edward looks at the steam coming from it Jun 13 10:51:15 Show off. Jun 13 10:51:17 * Morgan smiles, looking around to ensure they're alone before concentrating on heating the air around himself to dry off quicker Jun 13 10:51:19 -that- was showing off Jun 13 10:51:23 * Edward chuckles Jun 13 10:51:25 I suppose I could tolerate having such a gift Jun 13 10:51:27 * Morgan nods Jun 13 10:51:29 Its been useful. I'd. Still have preferred being able to move things with my mind Jun 13 10:52:04 Perhaps one of your children will be able to Jun 13 10:52:33 * Molly is now known as Edward Jun 13 10:55:30 Fair chance I'd say Jun 13 10:56:27 * Edward nods Jun 13 10:56:34 Could you dry me off? Jun 13 10:56:44 * Morgan looks at him Jun 13 10:56:54 You once told me never to do anything like that to you... Jun 13 10:57:58 Things have changed since then, I am more comfortable with it. Besides, I’d like my gingamebobs to return to the outside of my body. Jun 13 10:58:12 * Morgan smiles Jun 13 10:58:20 Stand still... Jun 13 10:58:28 * Edward does so Jun 13 10:58:38 * Morgan concentrates on warming the air around him a decent amount, warm but not hot Jun 13 11:01:28 * Edward smiles, nodding Jun 13 11:01:33 very good Jun 13 11:01:55 * Morgan stops once he's dryer Jun 13 11:02:56 Thank you, brother Jun 13 11:03:17 * Morgan nods, picking up his coffee Jun 13 11:03:20 Thank you for trusting me Jun 13 11:05:41 I’m impressed Jun 13 11:06:07 Why? Jun 13 11:06:58 it looks easy Jun 13 11:07:10 Its just practice Jun 13 11:12:21 * Edward nods, touching his hair “very well. Did you experiment with that with your wife as I first suggested?” Jun 13 11:12:34 A little, yes Jun 13 11:17:56 * Edward nods Jun 13 11:18:28 Good. Have you decided what you will do in regards to her riding? Jun 13 11:19:02 I don't wish her to. All it'd take is the horse to get spooked... if it were Aurora, -maybe- I'd let her... Jun 13 11:34:54 * Edward nods Jun 13 11:35:23 Mimi will not be riding during her pregnancies. Jun 13 11:35:32 * Morgan sniggers Jun 13 11:38:26 * Edward chuckles Jun 13 11:38:46 She will not be riding a horse. I would not be so cruel Jun 13 11:38:57 * Morgan nods Jun 13 11:42:39 I would imagine that is the most logistical option anyway *he puts the cloak on, and takes the lantern, starting to walk back to the house* Jun 13 11:43:18 Oh, not really... Jun 13 11:45:25 We will figure that out, when our time comes Jun 13 11:45:35 * Morgan nods Jun 13 11:45:41 I daresay there's drawings to refer to... Jun 13 11:49:43 * Edward nods “I’d imagine so” Jun 13 11:51:30 * Morgan nods, heading for the house Jun 13 11:53:57 * Edward goes to his room to get ready for breakfast and leaving. In Morgan’s room his travelling clothes have been left out, but everything looks to have been packed except the new hair brush, which he’d said he wanted to use this morning to do her hair with Jun 13 11:54:28 * Morgan gets changed Jun 13 11:54:35 Are you still wishing me to brush your hair? Jun 13 11:56:12 [I have done it already, tomorrow perhaps?] Jun 13 11:56:22 [yes aright. I'll pack the brush] Jun 13 12:00:27 [thank you] Jun 13 12:02:09 *soon he’s all ready to go with no idea when they’ll next sleep in this room, but knowing it won’t be pink at least. Out in the hall he can hear Florrie say “No! No shoes!” Jun 13 12:04:10 * Morgan smiles, carrying his kit bag out Jun 13 12:04:13 No shoes? Jun 13 12:04:48 * Edward is now known as Florrie Jun 13 12:04:54 * Florrie is bare foot Jun 13 12:05:00 No shoes, Ballhead! Jun 13 12:05:29 Why? Jun 13 12:07:35 Feel the grass Jun 13 12:07:49 That makes sense Jun 13 12:11:40 * Florrie nods. Alice follows her out, carrying a big bag Jun 13 12:11:50 A: Good morning, Morgan Jun 13 12:11:56 Morning love.. let me take that Jun 13 12:13:38 *Alice hands it over, and they start to make their way downstairs, Alice holding Florrie’s hand* Jun 13 12:13:49 A: I got the box, thank you Jun 13 12:14:10 The box... Jun 13 12:17:03 *Alice blushes* the replacement Jun 13 12:20:26 Yes, of course, sorry... good Jun 13 12:30:10 *Alice nods* Are you looking forward to the journey? Jun 13 12:32:15 Aside from having the wrong horse... yes I suppose I am Jun 13 12:32:51 * Florrie is now known as Alice Jun 13 12:33:37 Florrie and I have been here so long it seems like a while since we’ve travelled Jun 13 12:34:52 * Morgan nods Jun 13 12:34:57 Its been wonderful having you here Jun 13 12:37:06 You’ve made it so much easier for us with Edward and Mina Jun 13 12:38:20 * Morgan smiles Jun 13 12:38:23 I'm glad I could help Jun 13 12:40:26 * Alice smiles. When she picks up Florrie at the bottom of the stairs, it could almost be Dietlinde and Jana, though it’s hard to imagine she would want a house as big and busy with servants as this Jun 13 12:40:56 * Morgan looks away Jun 13 12:41:03 Are you anxious about being in Sudlachenburg? Jun 13 12:42:45 Less so now that we’ve already met Florrie’s grandparents Jun 13 12:43:27 * Morgan nods Jun 13 12:43:47 They adore her Jun 13 12:44:02 It is better than I thought it might be Jun 13 12:46:05 I must admit to being deeply impressed with my father Jun 13 12:46:46 I didn’t expect he would like children Jun 13 12:47:39 That wasn't my concern... he can be formal and distant but he is not unkind Jun 13 12:50:03 * Alice nods Jun 13 12:50:38 I didn’t find him that way Jun 13 12:50:53 * Morgan nods Jun 13 12:51:17 I was more concerned about his reaction to her abilities... but thankfully he surprised me Jun 13 12:53:50 * Alice nods Jun 13 12:54:10 I’m pleased you all love her just as she is Jun 13 12:54:45 * Morgan smiles Jun 13 12:54:48 Of course we do Jun 13 12:56:11 * Alice nods, heading into the breakfast room, which is empty aside from two footmen Jun 13 12:59:55 *They are joined quite soon by Molly who has Emil in the wrap on her hip, and then Edward who has barely sat before Florrie has demanded to sit in his lap. Edward looks delighted by her presence there, and makes her toast at her instruction. Molly and Alice eat breakfast too Jun 13 13:00:15 * Morgan eats quietly Jun 13 13:02:03 *Molly smiles at Edward* How was your swimming, Edward? Jun 13 13:02:36 Florrie looks at him: You go swimming in the lake? Jun 13 13:03:25 Edward looks a little more proud of himself than he had before, looking fondly at his daughter: Yes, my princess, I did. It was very cold Jun 13 13:03:53 * Morgan mouths at Alice "it wasn't cold" Jun 13 13:06:06 * Alice smiles, mouthing “Land-lubbers.” Jun 13 13:06:23 * Morgan smiles, eating his toast Jun 13 13:07:48 *florrie nods, stuffing her face* Jun 13 13:08:28 *Edward tells Florrie and Alice about the hot springs in Graben* Jun 13 13:09:28 Alice looks to Molly: You might want to go there when your baby is nearer, it’s murder on your back by then Jun 13 13:10:55 *Molly smiles* I suspect we simply won’t have the time, between Sascha’s delivery and then Heidi and Zench’s wedding Jun 13 13:12:17 *Edward nods* I heard our Mothers making plans for your birthday to be spent in Sudlachenburg ready for your confinement, Molly Jun 13 13:13:40 We'll see Jun 13 13:17:57 M: That could be almost two months before the child arrives... Jun 13 13:18:33 * Morgan nods Jun 13 13:20:09 * Alice smiles “I was working even in labour, I can’t think of much worse” Jun 13 13:21:17 Sounds miserable Jun 13 13:33:35 I’d rather that than how it is for noblewomen Jun 13 13:33:54 Ed: That is to protect the mother and child... Jun 13 13:34:18 It is -over- protective Jun 13 13:34:39 Ed: It is dignified Jun 13 13:35:54 M: *she looks to Morgan* I’m not staying for weeks on end in a dark room with all the windows shuttered. Absolutely not. Jun 13 13:36:15 I know Jun 13 13:36:49 Edward frowns slightly: That is how it is done Jun 13 13:38:31 *Molly looks cross* I am -not- doing it, Edward. I refuse to be trapped like that. I’d rather give birth in the middle of the town square with every man and his dog watching me! Jun 13 13:39:07 *he can hear the footmen fidgeting a little, likely trying not to laugh Jun 13 13:41:28 *Alice smiles, but Florrie looks confused. Edward inclines his head* A matter for your husband and yourself to discuss, schwesterlein Jun 13 13:41:57 I think thats enough on that matter Jun 13 13:42:59 * Alice looks to Morgan “Will Florrie and I need to keep a low profile in Sudlachenburg at first?” Jun 13 13:47:21 I'm afraid so... Sascha and Otto were adamant they do not want to see the two of you, so if you re to be in Sudlachenburg itself, we'll need to work something out. I daresay there'll be a lot of staring. Jun 13 13:48:55 *Edward frowns, his micro expressions protective* Jun 13 13:49:10 M: I think we should have a tenants meeting... Jun 13 13:49:22 Why? Jun 13 13:52:25 M: We have lots of news... Emil, the baby, Florrie... Jun 13 13:53:12 * Morgan nods Jun 13 13:53:16 alright Jun 13 13:53:43 *Edward nods* I will wish to prepare Mina for this Jun 13 13:55:17 * Alice nods “I think that’s sensible” Jun 13 13:55:53 *Molly gives Emil some toast* Jun 13 13:56:38 M: Everything is being loaded now, Karlsruhe is ready. Edward, are you riding today? Jun 13 13:58:33 *Edward smiles faintly* I was planning to, Yes Jun 13 14:05:03 *Molly nods. Once breakfast is finished and the last things seen to, she looks back up at the building as they’re stood by their coach which is going on it’s maiden voyage. Arendt and Mondel are on the doorstep, Karlsruhe in the drivers seat, and Tebbit holding Crusader and a horse for Morgan which must be on loan or bought from the village, a chestnut brown with a black mane and socks* Jun 13 14:05:55 Alright my love? Jun 13 14:06:33 *She nods* Yes, thank you. *Emil is in her arms and looks around before shouting “Bark!” Jun 13 14:06:52 * Morgan looks around Jun 13 14:07:31 *Molly kisses Emil’s crown* Varick is already there, little lamb Jun 13 14:08:09 *Edward puts Florrie in, and helps Alice too* Jun 13 14:08:24 Come on then love... time to go Jun 13 14:09:34 *Molly hands Emil in to Alice, then looks to Morgan* think of me when you’re riding, I’ll be missing it Jun 13 14:10:01 * Morgan nods Jun 13 14:10:02 I know love Jun 13 14:10:32 *She nods, climbing in. Edward has already mounted up* Jun 13 14:12:10 * Morgan closes the door behind her before climbing up onto his horse Jun 13 14:13:43 *Arendt and Mondel wave them off from the door step* Jun 13 14:13:47 * Alice is now known as Edward Jun 13 14:14:37 Lead on, brother *He notices Edward has his special new sword fastened on his belt, not due back to Hafenlohr any time soon* Jun 13 14:14:53 * Morgan smiles a little, nudging the horse onward Jun 13 14:16:38 *It seems well-trained enough, but it’s not Xantha. Edward beside him on the drive looks very relaxed on his own horse Jun 13 14:16:56 You and Crusader seem to have bonded... Jun 13 14:17:25 * Edward nods “I’ve always liked him, even when Karsten was alive” Jun 13 14:17:35 *the coach follows them* Jun 13 14:18:52 * Morgan nods Jun 13 14:19:03 I was a little surprised when Varick said he wanted you to have him Jun 13 14:19:10 * Edward nods Jun 13 14:19:15 I was grateful Jun 13 14:19:40 * Morgan nods, looking back at the palominos Jun 13 14:19:54 Have to admit... they look good, the horses and the coach... Jun 13 14:21:36 * Edward nods “Yes they do indeed. I like the idea of a bed that folds out” Jun 13 14:22:22 * Morgan nods Jun 13 14:22:29 It sounded practical Jun 13 14:23:24 * Edward nods Jun 13 14:23:43 especially as Molly gets bigger and sitting for so long is less comfortable Jun 13 14:24:01 * Morgan nods Jun 13 14:24:03 Quite so Jun 13 14:26:39 * Edward nods, settling in to the saddle Jun 13 14:27:03 I’d like to see an hour or two of progress before we need to stop Jun 13 14:27:24 * Morgan nods Jun 13 14:27:30 That'd be about right Jun 13 14:28:24 * Edward nods Jun 13 14:28:39 Would you prefer to be in the front or the back? Jun 13 14:29:10 * Morgan sniggers Jun 13 14:29:17 I'll lead for the first stretch Jun 13 14:29:31 * Edward looks uncommonly perplexed Jun 13 14:29:42 How is that funny? Jun 13 14:29:59 If I have to explain it, it won't be... bet you Heidi would've found it hilarious though Jun 13 14:31:21 Nothing would surprise me. *Edward drops his pace to go behind the carriage, and they turn out of Hafenlohr going south towards Innesbruck rather than north to Kempten and Kiev Jun 13 14:32:19 * Morgan sets a pace, keeping his attention on his surroundings as he rides Jun 13 14:35:20 *He last rode this way when going back to see his parents two weeks ago, before he knew Molly was increasing, and with Claudia and Uinise for company Jun 13 14:37:19 * Morgan sighs a little, getting comfortable Jun 13 14:39:17 They've been on the road for about a half hour when she says [I wonder how poor Zench fared on the journey!]. *she needs say no more, because no sooner than he recalls Heidi's trick on her fiancé he can almost hear Molly making a similar 2nd noise, a sharp inhale with teeth clenched followed by a whimper for mercy at the sensation, culminating in a groan of ecstasy from deep within her. Jun 13 14:40:04 [at least he wasn't in the saddle] Jun 13 14:41:04 [Oh Yes, I’d think that would be very uncomfortable for him] Jun 13 14:41:15 [oh yes] Jun 13 14:41:43 *he hears no reply* Jun 13 14:42:44 * Morgan glances around, once more on the lookout Jun 13 14:44:10 *There’s a few people about their business who bow and curtsy to him, a few they overtake. His horse is predictable, boring, and seems content just going along at the speed he is set to. The time seems to be passing slowly Jun 13 14:46:20 * Morgan sighs heavily Jun 13 14:46:54 *By the time an hour and a half has passed, he even starts missing Heinzharold’s bottle song, and hasn’t heard more from Molly* Jun 13 14:47:08 [is everyone in there alright?] Jun 13 14:48:00 [yes, we are. And with you?] Jun 13 14:49:05 [bored out of my mind] Jun 13 14:49:41 [shall we stop for a comfort break, Emil needs a change] Jun 13 14:50:44 [yes, I think we best had. I'll look for somewhere suitable] Jun 13 14:51:54 *His looking finds them a small clearing with a stream, vaguely reminiscent of last summer’s* Jun 13 14:52:30 * Morgan calls for a halt when they reach it Jun 13 14:53:18 *Karlsruhe pulls the carriage up, and Edward reins in beside Morgan* Jun 13 14:53:44 I suppose that is not bad time, considering we have women and children in tow Jun 13 14:54:06 Aye, it could be worse Jun 13 14:56:22 * Edward gets down, and Karlsruhe does likewise, opening the coach Jun 13 14:57:15 * Morgan climbs down, tethering the horse before moving toward the carriage Jun 13 14:58:02 *Ballard is the first out, keen for a run around, and Molly follows, Karlsruhe helping her down* Jun 13 14:59:48 * Morgan moves to stand beside her Jun 13 14:59:53 Everything alright love? Jun 13 14:59:58 * Edward nods Jun 13 15:00:05 * Edward is now known as Molly Jun 13 15:00:36 Yes, it is *she reaches in to take Emil and a bag. He’s grizzling a little Jun 13 15:00:59 Oh little lamb... Jun 13 15:01:56 He’s fine, he just needs changing Jun 13 15:02:22 * Morgan nods Jun 13 15:02:24 Alright love Jun 13 15:03:57 * Molly takes him over to the soft grass. Edward moves to the carriage, watching her briefly before beckoning Florrie to the carriage entrance and holding his arms out “Jump?” Jun 13 15:04:48 *Florrie looks a little unsure a moment. From inside, Alice says with a tone slightly admonishing “Edward...” Jun 13 15:04:57 * Morgan watches them Jun 13 15:05:29 *Edward smiles at Florrie, and she smiles back “Okay, catch me, no drop!” Jun 13 15:05:42 *Edwad nods “No drop.” Jun 13 15:06:19 *Florrie does jump, and he does indeed catch her. She laughs loudly* Jun 13 15:07:12 * Morgan smiles a little Jun 13 15:09:13 *Edward looks very happy, kissing her crown before holding out a hand to help Alice down. She rolls her eyes at him and shakes her head, but the smile confirms she isn’t actually troubled. He just chuckles before letting hand go when she’s safely down Jun 13 15:09:54 * Morgan moves about, keeping an eye to their surroundings Jun 13 15:11:41 *it looks safe. the stream babbles pleasantly, but he still here’s Molly say “hey, you come back here, young man!” Jun 13 15:13:27 * Morgan looks toward her Jun 13 15:14:46 *Emil has escaped her grip, toddling across the grass with his full regalia on display. Edward laughs, covering Florrie’s eyes, and even Karlsruhe starts chuckling Jun 13 15:16:16 * Morgan smiles, moving to catch him Jun 13 15:16:49 *Emil sees him, grinning* Jun 13 15:17:13 Where are you off to young man? Jun 13 15:17:38 *Molly folds up the old nappy cloth. Emil wriggles, trying to escape again Jun 13 15:17:57 * Morgan tickles him, holding him in place Jun 13 15:20:09 *Emil laughs* Vah-eee! Jun 13 15:21:17 *Alice takes Florrie into the bushes for privacy, and Edward finds himself a different spot* Jun 13 15:22:15 * Morgan takes him back to Molly Jun 13 15:23:16 * Molly takes him, lying him on the nappy cloth and pinning him with one hand Jun 13 15:23:23 I have him, my love Jun 13 15:24:35 * Morgan nods, letting him go Jun 13 15:26:19 * Molly gets to work at pinning the nappy and pulling his dress back down before covering his face in kisses, murmuring “you are a little menace, my sweet boy...” Jun 13 15:26:32 * Morgan nods Jun 13 15:26:34 That he is Jun 13 15:29:08 * Molly strokes the black hair from the smiley face, and when he says “bees”, she replies “soon...”. If she is thinking of a similar sunlit clearing on a warm day eight months ago where he’d murmured it on the approach to his self-achieved release, her face doesn’t give it away Jun 13 15:31:29 * Morgan clears his throat Jun 13 15:31:33 I'll be back in a moment Jun 13 15:31:53 * Molly nods “of course, my love” Jun 13 15:32:17 * Morgan heads off to find somewhere to relieve himself Jun 13 15:33:58 *he gets a brief moment recalling the dream where he’d hurt his arms and then a comment about making him spend out there in the trees had made him too hard to pee. He’s going to have to hope she doesn’t remember it with mischief in mind* Jun 13 15:34:12 * Morgan frowns, sighing Jun 13 15:39:17 *He stirs a little, not unmanageably, and she doesn’t interrupt at all* Jun 13 15:39:31 * Morgan sorts himself out, going back to the others Jun 13 15:40:32 *Maggie has Emil, Molly is completely out of sight* Jun 13 15:40:41 [you alright love?] Jun 13 15:41:19 [yes, I am] Jun 13 15:42:38 * Morgan nods, going to tickle Emil Jun 13 15:43:32 *Emil looks at one point over in the bushes* Jun 13 15:43:57 Is that where mama is? Jun 13 15:44:33 E: Mama bees! Jun 13 15:44:52 * Morgan nods Jun 13 15:44:55 Soon little lamb Jun 13 15:45:13 *Edward then starts looking all around, frowning a little* Where is Molly, brother? Jun 13 15:45:52 Call of nature Jun 13 15:46:12 *Edward nods* Jun 13 15:46:38 * Morgan casts about with his magic, making sure where she is and checking for others Jun 13 15:47:03 *He can’t find her, but can easily detect everyone else* Jun 13 15:47:12 [Where are you?] Jun 13 15:47:24 [In the bushes, my love] Jun 13 15:47:35 [I can't... -feel- you] Jun 13 15:47:48 *he suddenly can feel her on his mental radar* Jun 13 15:48:19 [when I try to be concealed, I borrow his magic] Jun 13 15:48:34 [so I see] Jun 13 15:51:11 * Molly is soon back out, and goes to take Emil “We should be underway again, we still have far to go” Jun 13 15:51:18 * Morgan nods Jun 13 15:51:23 Aye, best had Jun 13 15:51:47 *Edward inclines his head to her* I think we are all ready Jun 13 15:53:05 *The women, children, and dog get back in the carriage, and Edward waits by his horse for Morgan Jun 13 15:53:14 * Molly is now known as Edward Jun 13 15:53:24 * Morgan looks around before going to mount up Jun 13 15:54:04 How are you finding it, brother? *he swings up into Crusader’s saddle* Jun 13 15:54:21 * Morgan climbs up Jun 13 15:54:32 boring. Xantha is much better at keeping me entertained Jun 13 15:55:02 * Edward nods, getting himself settled Jun 13 15:55:18 Is your wife not entertaining you? Jun 13 15:55:35 No, she isn't. Rather got her hands full Jun 13 15:56:12 * Edward nods Jun 13 15:56:24 Is all well between you? Jun 13 15:57:01 I believe so, yes Jun 13 15:58:08 * Edward nods “Good. Shall we? I know somewhere we can stop for lunch” Jun 13 15:58:13 * Morgan nods Jun 13 15:58:15 Lead on Jun 13 15:59:02 * Edward clicks his tongue and his horse sets off, Karlsruhe following with the coach Jun 13 15:59:58 * Morgan hangs back until he's at the rear, looking around Jun 13 16:00:21 *It all seems peaceful* Jun 13 16:03:57 *His ride gives him time to reflect on his dreams, firstly of Edward and his young friends, of Mina and those very pretty stockings, and then Molly’s dreams of the indoor boxing followed by the Grafin Metternich and her lover Julius who they’d protected from detection before continuing their own interlude* Jun 13 16:04:59 * Morgan frowns as he rides, looking around as usual Jun 13 16:07:30 *It seems he is doomed to see nothing more exciting than the rear of the carriage. He also gets time to think on how to manage the situation in Sudlachenburg, but before that he will be in Innesbruck a few days for the baptisms and weddings taking place in the Vaticine church there* Jun 13 16:08:12 * Morgan starts singing quietly to himself Jun 13 16:10:19 *This kills a few miles, but the absence of her voice in his head rings louder than the tunes therein* Jun 13 16:11:14 [is there a reason you are not talking to me?] Jun 13 16:14:36 [I am just a little out of sorts, my love, and also I do not imagine you would want the kind of thing at present] Jun 13 16:15:10 [what is on your mind love?] Jun 13 16:16:21 [I’m ill at ease is all. It’ll pass, I’m sure] Jun 13 16:16:43 [but -why-?] Jun 13 16:18:24 [Perhaps it is as it has been before... we were a little more adventurous today than before... I was a little more... blatant, with the mirror] Jun 13 16:18:39 [I see] Jun 13 16:20:14 [it will pass] Jun 13 16:20:50 [what do you need? What would help?] Jun 13 16:21:49 [In truth, I am unsure. Do not fret, my love, we are well] Jun 13 16:22:07 * Morgan sighs, frowning once more Jun 13 16:24:31 *The carriage rolls on. People who live beside the road come out to look at it, talking excitedly about the fine carriage and horses, and the children wave* Jun 13 16:24:57 * Morgan waves to them as he passes, greeting them when he can Jun 13 16:29:27 *there are more houses as they get closer to when they should stop for lunch, the little village of Frosch, one he’s ridden up and down through many times before, though the particular tavern Edward heads for is not one he knows. *Edward has already dismounted and hitched his horse by the time Morgan pulls up, and his brother goes into the tavern alone Jun 13 16:30:34 * Morgan climbs down, tethering the horse before going to the carriage Jun 13 16:30:55 *Ballard scratches at the door* Jun 13 16:31:09 * Morgan opens the door Jun 13 16:31:29 *he gets licked repeatedly by his dog* Jun 13 16:31:36 Whats gotten into you, hmm? Jun 13 16:31:36 F: No! No licking! Jun 13 16:32:31 Come on, down you get lad Jun 13 16:32:44 *Ballard jumps out, running around the coachyard Jun 13 16:34:26 *Alice hands Florrie out before getting out, followed by Maggie Jun 13 16:34:41 * Morgan helps them down Jun 13 16:37:15 *Molly hands Emil out to Maggie. If he wants a moment with Molly he’s unlikely to get a better time than here in the carriage, especially once he can hear Edward telling Alice he’s secured them a private dining room and to follow him* Jun 13 16:37:36 Come on... lets stretch our legs Jun 13 16:39:00 *Molly gets out, brushing her skirt down. As she’d promised, it is one cut to cover her belly. The others go on to the tavern * Jun 13 16:39:37 * Morgan takes her arm, leading her away from the building to somewhere private Jun 13 16:41:43 *this is more of a challenge than he expects, but eventually he finds a little spot under the trees Jun 13 16:42:02 Alright... talk to me... Jun 13 16:42:54 * Edward is now known as Molly Jun 13 16:43:23 * Molly takes a deep breath, looking at the height of his top button Jun 13 16:43:45 I am uneasy... I was... far too wanton. Jun 13 16:43:56 You were -perfect- Jun 13 16:44:20 * Molly blushes, but still can’t seem to meet his eyes Jun 13 16:44:58 When I am aroused, I lose my inhibitions, far more than I ever intend to Jun 13 16:48:02 * Morgan takes her hands, kissing her knuckles Jun 13 16:48:19 The timing wasn't brilliant... but no harm was done Jun 13 16:49:11 * Molly nods slightly “I didn’t think, I am sorry.” Jun 13 16:55:02 No, its fine love Jun 13 16:57:09 * Molly nods “How are -you-? Your own boldness before dawn was more than usual” Jun 13 16:58:57 * Morgan looks troubled Jun 13 16:59:04 I... that bothers you? Jun 13 16:59:57 * Molly now meets his eyes, speaking softly “why do you think I was -still- so aroused?” Jun 13 17:00:30 * Morgan shrugs a little Jun 13 17:00:35 I assumed you dreamed more... Jun 13 17:01:29 No, I couldn’t get back to sleep for thinking of you Jun 13 17:01:42 * Morgan nods, leaning down to gently kiss her Jun 13 17:10:06 * Molly kisses him back, her arms coming around his neck. There’s no avoiding that lovely pregnant scent of her when her lips are locked to his and her body is soft and inline against him Jun 13 17:12:22 * Morgan sighs happily before pulling away Jun 13 17:14:04 * Molly strokes his face “I’m sorry to have brought you heartache. In some ways, I am still afraid of that part of myself” Jun 13 17:14:23 I know you are love Jun 13 17:15:31 * Molly frowns slightly “Are you scared by it too?” Jun 13 17:15:44 No, Im not Jun 13 17:16:33 No? But it is so strong, so vast... Jun 13 17:19:47 * Morgan shrugs a little Jun 13 17:20:08 It surprises me often but... it does not scare me Jun 13 17:20:44 * Molly nods Jun 13 17:21:29 And that part of yourself, in here? *she puts her hand over his heart* Jun 13 17:21:43 That -does- scare me a little Jun 13 17:22:36 why? Jun 13 17:26:26 The pain I've caused before because of my feelings is something I am always aware of Jun 13 17:27:35 * Molly frowns slightly “it still plagues you so?” Jun 13 17:27:54 * Morgan nods Jun 13 17:28:01 Yes... Jun 13 17:29:23 I’m sorry. But I would have you let that go. Our joy now is at a height we might never have reached had we not been through it as we did Jun 13 17:30:59 I know love, I know Jun 13 17:32:09 * Molly nods, taking his hand and placing a kiss in his palm Jun 13 17:32:33 Though it was not precisely your heart I was asking if you were scared by... Jun 13 17:32:45 Then what? Jun 13 17:33:55 Your desire... that passionate part of yourself Jun 13 17:34:56 Sometimes... I know the things I want are... unorthodox, and would be frowned upon Jun 13 17:36:25 * Molly nods slightly “And yet they are so delicious in their darkness... so secret and glorious...” Jun 13 17:36:43 * Morgan nods Jun 13 17:38:43 It is like I know I should not want such, and it makes me hotter for it, to go that far with you... *she watches up at him with a little desirous smile* ... to go that far -for- you Jun 13 17:39:05 * Morgan nods, swallowing hard Jun 13 17:39:48 * Molly watches this, looking a little rueful Jun 13 17:40:18 I have hurt you? Disgusted you? Jun 13 17:40:58 No... but... it would be wise not to talk any further about it, otherwise I'll not be fit to be in public... Jun 13 17:41:25 * Molly smiles, it grows slowly, and becomes mischievous Jun 13 17:41:34 You should not say such to me... Jun 13 17:42:36 Well, for now, it is best we heed it... we have much to do Jun 13 17:45:51 * Molly kisses him chastely on the cheek “That would be best... I suppose...” Jun 13 17:46:05 * Morgan nods Jun 13 17:46:06 It would Jun 13 17:48:22 * Molly kisses just below his cheekbone, still chastely, and then says quietly by his ear “And yet...” Jun 13 17:49:21 No, come on, we've not got time Jun 13 17:50:42 * Molly pulls back a little, looking at him solemnly “You are certain?” Jun 13 17:51:01 I am. We need to have some lunch then get moving again Jun 13 17:51:23 * Molly nods, moving away “yes, my love” Jun 13 17:53:14 * Morgan nods, taking her hand Jun 13 17:53:21 Lets join the others Jun 13 17:57:08 * Molly holds it, staying with him as they go into the tavern, where a barmaid is waiting to direct them to the small private room where Edward is already stood waiting so he can make that gesture about needing to talk Jun 13 17:58:18 Go on in, love, Edward wants to talk to me Jun 13 18:06:38 * Molly does so, and Edward steps out into the hall Jun 13 18:06:44 * Molly is now known as Edward Jun 13 18:08:07 Alice said Molly was subdued, and then you went off. Is all well? Jun 13 18:08:17 Yes, brother, everything is fine Jun 13 18:08:54 You have made sure she is well? Jun 13 18:09:20 * Morgan nods Jun 13 18:09:30 She's fine... just worrying over something that she didn't need to worry about Jun 13 18:10:46 Is it anything I can help her with? Jun 13 18:11:12 * Morgan shakes his head Jun 13 18:11:23 No, Edward. There's nothing to worry about Jun 13 18:13:06 * Edward nods, smiling Jun 13 18:13:39 Very well. Let’s have lunch, eating will make her feel better Jun 13 18:14:08 Probably, yes Jun 13 18:17:23 *Lunch is very simple fayre, but the children seem very hungry, and so they all eat. It’s like to be another four hours before they arrive, with an aiming of making only minimal stops. Molly changes Emil again just before they leave, and then sneaks a quick kiss on his neck before he helps her in Jun 13 18:18:35 * Edward is already mounted up when Morgan gets to his horse. He smirks “I saw that” Jun 13 18:19:21 * Morgan blushes a little, looking at his horse before climbing up Jun 13 18:19:25 Yes... well... Jun 13 18:19:35 well? Jun 13 18:20:41 Sometimes she gets the drop on me Jun 13 18:20:55 * Edward snorts then chuckles Jun 13 18:21:42 has she spent too much time with Heidi? Jun 13 18:22:15 [I hope you have a comfortable ride, my Lord] Jun 13 18:23:18 She's always been that mischievous... you just haven't seen it Jun 13 18:24:45 * Edward walks his horse on “She reminds me of Mimi to a degree, in that the face they present to the world is not the one they give to their husbands” Jun 13 18:25:27 * Morgan nods Jun 13 18:25:42 [I doubt it] Jun 13 18:26:46 [oh no, that is tragic, mon petit chou. Perhaps you need to order a softer saddle...] Jun 13 18:27:18 she likes to keep you on your toes? Jun 13 18:28:06 * Morgan nods Jun 13 18:28:07 She does Jun 13 18:28:29 [and a horse that isn't as dull as an Avalonian late autumn] Jun 13 18:28:46 [yes... I suppose so] Jun 13 18:30:04 * Edward smiles “Those sort of women are not restful enough for me,certainly not as a long term arrangement] Jun 13 18:30:49 Most of the time... its perfectly restful... Jun 13 18:32:16 * Edward chuckles Jun 13 18:32:52 It is the idle hands of a traveller that makes her less restful then? Jun 13 18:34:09 It would be ungentlemanly of me to comment on the cause Jun 13 18:36:21 * Edward nods, smiling “A lady’s secrets must be maintained at times” Jun 13 18:36:52 Indeed Jun 13 18:37:41 I could write several volumes worth... Jun 13 18:38:42 * Morgan nods Jun 13 18:38:49 I didn't realise you army boys could write Jun 13 18:39:18 Almost as well as we gather the secrets of Ladies, brother Jun 13 18:40:37 * Morgan smiles Jun 13 18:40:47 I'll ride at the rear again until our next stop Jun 13 18:41:20 * Edward nods Jun 13 18:41:37 That will spare me from your blushes Jun 13 18:42:12 * Morgan reaches over, thumping him before moving behind the coach Jun 13 18:45:06 *They progress on, and a nearby clock tells him it is one already, what should be Quiet Hour. The memory of their conversation beneath the trees comes back to him, how she’d described their most extreme acts as ‘so delicious in their darkness’ Jun 13 18:45:47 * Morgan smiles a little, looking around Jun 13 18:47:48 *the tedium of it continues, until she says [this quiet hour is extremely quiet] Jun 13 18:48:10 [it is] Jun 13 18:49:11 [everyone except me is sleeping...] Jun 13 18:49:28 [Why aren't you?] Jun 13 18:50:56 [I am not sure] Jun 13 18:58:47 [you should try. It will help pass the time] Jun 13 18:59:38 [I will try. we have certainly had much more enjoyable travels together] Jun 13 19:00:08 [yes, we definitely have] Jun 13 19:01:43 [are you truly managing? it has been many hours, and yesterday you were quite... enthused] Jun 13 19:02:00 [and this morning I was deeply sated] Jun 13 19:02:52 [it is likely to be more frequent if it is less satisfying?] Jun 13 19:03:53 [I couldn't say really] Jun 13 19:04:16 [no? why so?] Jun 13 19:05:59 [because it is always satisfying] Jun 13 19:06:59 [I suppose I could give a lacklustre performance, for an experiment] Jun 13 19:07:33 [I'd rather you didnt] Jun 13 19:08:18 [no?] Jun 13 19:09:29 [Why would be purposefully dampen our enjoyment?] Jun 13 19:10:55 [for the sake of curiosity? No, I jest. You could not give a lacklustre performance even if you tried] Jun 13 19:12:06 [I am glad you believe so Jun 13 19:13:56 [I do. Do you look forward to being in Innesbruck?] Jun 13 19:14:41 [To a point, yes] Jun 13 19:15:29 [only to a point? you can listen to our son there...] Jun 13 19:15:45 [Not as freely as I can at home] Jun 13 19:16:43 [Innesbruck is your house too] Jun 13 19:16:56 [I know but... its not the. Same is it] Jun 13 19:17:54 [why not?] Jun 13 19:18:14 [I don't know... it just doesn't feel the same] Jun 13 19:19:29 [before bed, you’ll hear this tiny little one who is again fluttering within me] Jun 13 19:19:40 [I look forward to it love] Jun 13 19:20:47 [As do I] Jun 13 19:23:24 * Morgan smiles, looking around Jun 13 19:30:04 *he hears no more from her. quiet hour ends, and he’s starting to want a comfort break of his own Jun 13 19:30:53 * Morgan calls forward to Edward to start looking for somewhere Jun 13 19:31:26 *they pull off a few minutes later* Jun 13 19:31:52 * Morgan dismounts, finding somewhere to tether the horse Jun 13 19:32:50 *he finds it easily* Jun 13 19:33:21 * Morgan goes to help the ladies out Jun 13 19:33:26 [are we stopping?] Jun 13 19:33:34 [I need a comfort break Jun 13 19:34:37 *Molly gets out, giving him a little smile [let’s hope you do not end up in a predicament!] Jun 13 19:35:45 [behave, thank you] Jun 13 19:36:32 *She smiles, looking much more cheerful* Jun 13 19:37:08 [I will try, mon petit chou, if you tell me what the consequences of it would be...] Jun 13 19:37:20 *everyone else gets out* Jun 13 19:37:34 [I think not because you will push for those consequences Jun 13 19:38:16 [only if they are desirable to me] Jun 13 19:39:16 [or if you would find them entertaining. I'll be back in a moment] Jun 13 19:39:54 [perhaps they’d serve as a reward for good behaviour...] Jun 13 19:40:08 [we'll see] Jun 13 19:41:30 *she doesn’t interrupt him* ((your call how likely his own mind would though!)) Jun 13 19:42:46 * Morgan breathes slowly as he takes care of business before tidying himself and going back to the others Jun 13 19:44:51 *Molly is waiting, smiling innocently as she watches him* Jun 13 19:45:16 * Morgan looks around Jun 13 19:46:26 *theres nothing going on* Jun 13 19:47:11 * Morgan nods slightly, getting back to her Jun 13 19:48:21 *she smiles, whispering* you see, I can be a good girl for you... Jun 13 19:49:08 * Morgan blushes Jun 13 19:49:12 menace Jun 13 19:50:08 Indeed... If you’ll excuse me? Jun 13 19:50:53 * Morgan nods Jun 13 19:50:55 Of course Jun 13 19:53:15 *molly sashays off happily to the bushes by herself. Edward, with Emil on his hip, comes to stand next to Morgan* Her spirits seem much replenished Jun 13 19:53:47 * Morgan nods Jun 13 19:54:00 Yes, they are... as is her mischievous nature Jun 13 19:55:35 * Edward smiles “You must have some heavy shot in your own arsenal, brother, why not play her at her own game?” Jun 13 19:57:30 And wind myself up before hours in the saddle?! Jun 13 19:59:20 * Edward raises his free hand in an ‘I don’t know’ gesture “There are ways around that, but I know you have said before they are not your ways” Jun 13 19:59:38 Indeed Jun 13 20:04:39 * Edward chuckles “Without knowing your wife as well, it is hard to advise. Depending upon whether she would be disgusted, I would consider telling her you want to get your revenge but the thoughts of her you’d need to have would be too arousing for you to bear without breaking that principle” Jun 13 20:07:46 Suck up Jun 13 20:08:26 * Edward laughs “By all means, sail your ship as you please” Jun 13 20:09:05 I'll take your suggestion under advisement Jun 13 20:10:37 * Edward nods, bouncing Emil Jun 13 20:11:11 We should be there in not much more than two hours Jun 13 20:12:14 Good. Lets see if we can make it without stopping again Jun 13 20:13:14 * Edward nods, going to get the others into the carriage. Molly comes out and makes her way towards it Jun 13 20:20:51 * Morgan moves to her, kissing her firmly Jun 13 20:21:56 * Edward doesn’t kiss him for a second from surprise, but then she returns it Jun 13 20:22:03 * Edward is now known as Molly Jun 13 20:22:08 * Morgan breaks away Jun 13 20:22:21 Enjoy the next couple of hours my love Jun 13 20:23:03 As much as I can when I cannot be on horseback Jun 13 20:23:27 But with the memory of what just occurred... Jun 13 20:23:41 * Molly smiles Jun 13 20:23:53 Yes, I will think of that fondly Jun 13 20:24:22 * Morgan smiles, leading her back to the coach Jun 13 20:24:40 * Molly squeezes his hand gently as she climbs in Jun 13 20:25:07 * Morgan checks they're all inside before closing the door and going to his horse Jun 13 20:26:36 *They are, and their party gets moving again Jun 13 20:29:14 * Morgan looks around idly as he rides Jun 13 20:31:28 *there’s still nothing interesting, and the hours wear on until they get to the village of Innesbruck itself, where they need to go a little to the west to his house, or they can go a little south to Heinzharold and Inga’s house Jun 13 20:31:59 [Do you wish to go straight to the house, or to Inga and HeinzHarold?] Jun 13 20:33:58 [I do not mind, though I imagine Edward will need to go straight to Mina!] Jun 13 20:34:35 * Morgan directs the convoy to the house Jun 13 20:36:48 *Walder is there waiting to take the horses, looking cheerful* Jun 13 20:37:20 * Morgan climbs down, patting the horse Jun 13 20:37:24 Walder... Jun 13 20:38:16 W: Milord, good trip? Jun 13 20:38:30 Tedious, you know how it is Jun 13 20:39:57 *Walder nods, and Edward hands the groom Crusaders reins. Edward looks very keen to be on his way to Mina Jun 13 20:40:27 * Molly gets out carefully Jun 13 20:40:50 Ed: Brother, I will see you later... Jun 13 20:41:53 Uh huh, it'll be quicker if you run... Jun 13 20:44:11 Walder: Uhhh, milord, Lady Koertig asked me to tell you that she was going to visit Lady Lehestreue this afternoon and would be back at dinner time Jun 13 20:44:40 *Edward sighs* Very we, thank you, Walder Jun 13 20:44:48 I believe that is payback... Jun 13 20:45:10 Payback for what, my love? Jun 13 20:45:29 The gesture he made to Mina before she left Jun 13 20:45:47 *Edward nods * Quite possibly Jun 13 20:46:07 * Molly smiles, taking Emil from Maggie Jun 13 20:46:46 It doesn’t take long to ride from here to there, perhaps you can find her? Jun 13 20:47:03 [maybe Heinzharold will lend them a room...] Jun 13 20:47:10 * Morgan sniggers Jun 13 20:47:54 Edward: No, I think I’ll go to wash up from the road Jun 13 20:48:38 * Molly smiles innocently “Oh! I’m sure if you can wait a quarter hour someone can heat up some water for you...” Jun 13 20:49:16 Edward: *he grumbles* Cold will be just fine. Jun 13 20:49:54 * Morgan sniggers before looking to Walder Jun 13 20:50:00 How soon could you get Henning here? Jun 13 20:50:25 Walder: half an hour, milord? Jun 13 20:50:38 * Morgan nods Jun 13 20:50:46 Do so please... I think he'd enjoy seeing Bir Jun 13 20:53:59 *Walder gets everyone else out, then takes the horses to the stables. Heinrich comes out to help with the luggage, and then Morgan is back in the eight bedroom house they had thought about living in for their three years of freedom, it’s clean and quiet Jun 13 20:54:57 * Morgan looks around Jun 13 20:55:01 This could've been home Jun 13 20:56:03 * Molly nods, carrying Emil up the stairs Jun 13 20:56:17 yes, it could Jun 13 20:57:03 * Morgan sighs, running his hand along the bannister Jun 13 20:57:34 Alice: This was your Uncle’s house, Morgan? Jun 13 20:58:38 * Morgan nods Jun 13 20:58:54 Yes, it was... Innesbruck is my Freiarrdom... Jun 13 21:00:32 F: Want flowers? Jun 13 21:00:58 Not right now sweetheart... I think we all need to get cleaned up after all that travelling Jun 13 21:01:11 F: Flowers tomorrow? Jun 13 21:01:40 * Molly opens a bedroom door for Alice and Florrie Jun 13 21:02:23 Maybe Elsie would like some flowers for her wedding... Jun 13 21:03:22 Here we are, Alice... Florrie, I would love for some help tomorrow with my cherry trees, would you like that? Jun 13 21:03:44 *Florrie nods* Okay Lee, I help you with lots of cherry trees. Jun 13 21:04:01 * Morgan smiles Jun 13 21:04:29 *Alice moves into the room, Florrie lingering in the hall. She looks up to Morgan “Cherries for Arold?” Jun 13 21:05:11 Yes, he can have cherries sweetheart Jun 13 21:05:51 F: No apples Arold. Jun 13 21:06:44 * Morgan smiles, kneeling down to kiss her forehead Jun 13 21:07:01 Its alright to share those apples sweetheart. I don't mind. Jun 13 21:07:18 F: Okay Ballhead. One apple Arold. Jun 13 21:08:11 * Morgan nods, smiling Jun 13 21:08:14 Good girl Jun 13 21:08:46 *Florrie follows Alice in. Maggie stands on the stairs unobtrusively* Jun 13 21:10:00 * Molly smiles warmly, opening another door “Maggie, this room is for you” Jun 13 21:10:35 Maggie looks surprised: My Lady, I sleep in the servants quarters or in the nursery Jun 13 21:11:00 Not here you don't Jun 13 21:11:56 *Maggie blushes, looking in* It’s too nice! Jun 13 21:13:24 * Molly smiles “You are an excellent nursery maid, Maggie, and here Varick is already used to his room. Emil’s crib will be in there, but... *she looks at Morgan* I think we might benefit from a few days living quite simply, don’t you, my love? Jun 13 21:15:39 * Morgan nods Jun 13 21:15:41 I do Jun 13 21:17:16 * Molly nods “For the most part Maggie, you’ll be taking a well earned rest. There are so many of our beloved friends and family here that the boys will always have someone to look after them Jun 13 21:17:36 *Maggie looks surprised and pleased* Thank you My Lady, My Lord Jun 13 21:18:45 * Morgan smiles Jun 13 21:18:54 Move about as you please, alright? Relax. Jun 13 21:19:10 *Maggie smiles, curtseying* Jun 13 21:19:49 *Molly nods* We’ll leave to get settled in Jun 13 21:20:19 you* Jun 13 21:20:41 * Morgan inclines his head, moving away Jun 13 21:21:19 * Molly takes Emil across the hall to the room that says Varick on the door. She runs her fingers over the word, then smiles at Morgan Jun 13 21:21:32 We’ll need a new name added... Jun 13 21:21:44 * Morgan nods Jun 13 21:21:48 Yes, we will Jun 13 21:22:12 * Molly puts that hand on her stomach “and then another...” Jun 13 21:22:39 * Morgan nods Jun 13 21:22:46 aye Jun 13 21:35:24 * Molly goes in, showing Emil the crib made up in there. it has a teddy in it, and he’s happy to sit in there playing. Molly wraps her arms around Morgan’s neck “Did -you- enjoy -your- journey, after what happened?” Jun 13 21:35:59 My mind was kept occupied... Jun 13 21:36:14 Oh yes? Do tell *she smiles* Jun 13 21:37:49 But aside from that, it was... tedious... Jun 13 21:38:00 * Molly nods Jun 13 21:38:29 Dreadfully so. But it could be much worse... Jun 13 21:39:19 Yes I suppose it could Jun 13 21:40:00 You could be in Edward’s situation Jun 13 21:40:07 * Morgan chuckles Jun 13 21:40:14 I'd imagine now is the most difficult part Jun 13 21:41:08 Whyso? Jun 13 21:41:27 I imagine he's been anticipating some sort of... relief... and how he has to wait even longer Jun 13 21:41:37 Yes? Jun 13 21:42:16 Well if she isn't back until dinner... it'll be much later before his... tension... can be relieved. Jun 13 21:43:39 Mmhmm? Jun 13 21:44:02 * Morgan watches her for a moment before shrugging Jun 13 21:44:04 Suit yourself Jun 13 21:45:02 I just wanted to see if you’d say why this particular time, here alone whilst waiting, but having promised to be primed for breeding, would be so challenging... Jun 13 21:47:11 * Morgan shrugs Jun 13 21:48:28 * Molly kisses his cheek “I’ll torment you no more” Jun 13 21:48:51 * Morgan inclines his head Jun 13 21:48:54 Thank you Jun 13 21:50:17 * Molly nods “we should get cleaned up” Jun 13 21:50:31 * Morgan nods Jun 13 21:50:34 Aye, best had Jun 13 21:53:23 * Molly picks up Emil, and takes him to their room. They have to juggle watching him whilst getting cleaned up after the trunk is brought. Emil is toddling around the room. She pulls off her shift, briefly bare whilst she looks for another Jun 13 21:55:11 * Morgan smiles, following Emil about Jun 13 21:55:28 * Molly pulls it on Jun 13 21:56:16 If I let him nurse, he may stay still long enough for you to hear the baby Jun 13 21:56:33 * Morgan nods Jun 13 21:56:39 I don't have long before Henning arrives Jun 13 21:57:46 That is good, because it will help prevent you getting distracted Jun 13 21:57:56 * Morgan nods Jun 13 21:58:01 Possibly Jun 13 21:59:54 * Molly gets in place, Emil saying Bees as she raises the hem and lowers the neckline so they can both have access to the parts they’re interested in Jun 13 22:00:37 * Morgan smiles, laying down to listen to his child Jun 13 22:01:30 *he hears that little heart quietly but immediately Jun 13 22:01:50 * Morgan smiles, listening quietly Jun 13 22:03:47 *It is difficult to ignore the scent of her, partly no doubt the consequences of him kissing her at their rest stop Jun 13 22:04:56 * Morgan closes his eyes, focussing Jun 13 22:06:22 *it’s quite peaceful.mHe notices her heartbeat slow, she must have rioted off Jun 13 22:06:28 drifted * Jun 13 22:06:39 * Morgan keeps an eye to the time Jun 13 22:08:20 *He has about ten minutes until Henning is due. Emil is still happily half sprawled on her, nursing. He watches Morgan with her nipple in his mouth Jun 13 22:08:46 * Morgan smiles, stroking the little boys face Jun 13 22:11:39 *He gets a sweet moment of bonding with both his youngest children at once* Jun 13 22:12:02 * Morgan waits a couple of minutes before sitting up and gently rousing her Jun 13 22:13:47 Hmm? Oh, sorry Jun 13 22:14:00 Its alright love... its time for me to go get Bir and meet Henning Jun 13 22:15:43 You can pity both Edward -and- I now, neither entirely at our own leisure... Jun 13 22:16:08 * Morgan nods Jun 13 22:16:10 Indeed I can Jun 13 22:17:36 * Molly smiles Jun 13 22:18:02 I’ll see you in a little while then, once this young man has let me get dressed Jun 13 22:18:48 * Morgan nods, getting up before moving to kiss her cheek, then Emil's Jun 13 22:18:51 I'll see you soon Jun 13 22:20:08 * Molly nods, blowing him a kiss as he goes Jun 13 22:39:26 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jun 13 23:21:50 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
