Oh, sorry Jun 15 13:18:33 Its alright love... its time for me to go get Bir and meet Henning Jun 15 13:18:35 You can pity both Edward -and- I now, neither entirely at our own leisure... Jun 15 13:18:37 * Morgan nods Jun 15 13:18:39 Indeed I can Jun 15 13:18:41 * Molly smiles Jun 15 13:18:43 I’ll see you in a little while then, once this young man has let me get dressed Jun 15 13:18:45 * Morgan nods, getting up before moving to kiss her cheek, then Emil's Jun 15 13:18:47 I'll see you soon Jun 15 13:18:51 * Molly nods, blowing him a kiss as he goes Jun 15 13:18:53 * Morgan goes to fetch Bir before finding somewhere to wait for Henning Jun 15 13:19:08 /nick Henning Jun 15 13:19:52 * Molly has driven his cart up, and pulls into the yard. He inclines his head before getting down Jun 15 13:20:01 * Molly is now known as Henning Jun 15 13:20:15 Good afternoon, my Lord Jun 15 13:21:10 Henning, good to see you Jun 15 13:23:58 * Henning looks at Bir, looking intrigued Jun 15 13:24:06 She is huge! Jun 15 13:24:40 * Morgan nods, smiling Jun 15 13:24:49 She is... I thought perhaps you'd like to see her Jun 15 13:26:51 * Henning smiles, looking her over Jun 15 13:27:10 I didn’t know birds could be so beautiful Jun 15 13:27:31 * Morgan nods, tapping her beak gently before fanning out his fingers Jun 15 13:28:06 *Bir spreads out a multi coloured wing* Jun 15 13:28:17 * Henning marvels at it Jun 15 13:28:36 was she specially bred for the colour? Jun 15 13:28:50 * Morgan smiles, holding out a nut to her Jun 15 13:28:56 No no... she's wild... Jun 15 13:29:12 There's birds like her all over Capperlucia Jun 15 13:31:32 *Bir takes it with her claws and looks it over* Jun 15 13:31:49 it sounds like a magical place Jun 15 13:31:59 * Morgan nods Jun 15 13:32:08 Its fairly spectacular, yes... far too hot though Jun 15 13:33:09 * Henning nods Jun 15 13:33:26 Can she fly? She looks too big Jun 15 13:35:10 She can when she chooses to, better than you'd imagine... but aside from that, she's really very intelligent Jun 15 13:35:26 Bir: Bir fly Jun 15 13:36:16 * Morgan smiles Jun 15 13:36:20 You can fly if you want to Jun 15 13:40:37 *Bir hops down to the ground before taking off. She ascends, bright wings flapping. Henning watches on in amazement Jun 15 13:42:55 * Morgan watches her, smiling Jun 15 13:44:05 * Henning looks gobsmacked as she flies smoothly in the sky above Jun 15 13:44:14 It’s hard to fathom, my Lord Jun 15 13:44:37 * Morgan nods Jun 15 13:45:22 I think, in terms of things that fly, they might have a monopoly on impressive... they have dragons. Jun 15 13:45:43 Like in story books? Jun 15 13:45:56 * Morgan nods Jun 15 13:46:05 Rickon has a drawing I did of one... maybe he'd show you Jun 15 13:47:31 * Henning nods Jun 15 13:48:35 Walder said he was going to go to Heinzharold’s to let them know you’d arrived. I think Rickon will come back here if Freiarr Koln does, my Lord Jun 15 13:49:25 Lets hope then... as for Bir, she's remarkably clever... Jun 15 13:49:42 What can she do, apart from talk? Jun 15 13:50:22 She laughs like HeinzHarold... she can play games... Jun 15 13:51:11 * Henning looks impressed. Bir flies up to land on the stable roof Jun 15 13:51:19 what sort of games? Jun 15 13:52:00 There's a hide and seek one... like... finding a peanut under three cups, that sort of thing Jun 15 13:52:21 * Henning nods Jun 15 13:52:40 The village children would love to see that, my Lord Jun 15 13:53:30 * Morgan nods Jun 15 13:53:35 See what we can do before we leave Jun 15 13:55:55 * Henning smiles “Are you staying long, my Lord?” *today is Thursday 29th April, and the weddings/baptisms are Saturday, then Sunday they travel again for Mattias’ baptism on Monday 3rd. Edward was planning to leave on the 4th, Mina’s birthday is the 5th* Jun 15 13:56:42 Unfortunately only a few days... some of us are on our way on Sunday Jun 15 13:56:59 * Henning nods Jun 15 13:57:30 It must be busy, my Lord Jun 15 13:57:49 * Morgan nods terribly. I feel like I've not stood still for... well, years Jun 15 13:58:32 You’ll have time to in Sudlachenburg though, my Lord? Jun 15 13:58:44 * Morgan nods Jun 15 13:59:00 probably... though I imagine I'll have to travel a little bit to keep an eye on things Jun 15 13:59:43 * Henning nods Jun 15 14:00:17 We might see you again in Innesbruck soon then? Jun 15 14:00:59 Possibly, aye Jun 15 14:01:26 Is Her Ladyship well, My Lord? Jun 15 14:02:30 * Morgan nods, smiling as he looks up at Bir Jun 15 14:02:35 She is, very well Jun 15 14:03:22 * Henning nods “People here do wonder about your family when you’re away” Jun 15 14:03:34 * Morgan nods Jun 15 14:03:48 It was a long time journeying... we're going to be around a lot more now Jun 15 14:04:07 Are you not to go again? Jun 15 14:04:41 Not in the near future, no Jun 15 14:05:07 * Henning nods. Bir wolf whistles, then laughs like Heinzharold Jun 15 14:05:17 * Henning smiles Jun 15 14:05:39 * Morgan smiles Jun 15 14:05:46 She's a terror... Jun 15 14:06:14 She’s lovely, my Lord. I bet many nobles will want one Jun 15 14:06:43 Could be difficult... I wouldn't want to upset the queen by kid... birdnapping them Jun 15 14:06:56 * Henning laughs Jun 15 14:07:31 *He can hear running feet from just around the corner of the stable Jun 15 14:07:42 * Morgan looks around Jun 15 14:08:05 *Varick, Rickon, and Jacques come into view, obviously racing* Jun 15 14:08:25 * Morgan smiles Jun 15 14:08:33 Here comes trouble Jun 15 14:08:51 * Henning looks, smiling “Was there anything you needed, my Lord?” Jun 15 14:09:08 No, Henning, I just thought you'd enjoy seeing Bir Jun 15 14:09:31 * Henning nods “I have. Will you want your falcons now?” Jun 15 14:10:19 No point us having them until we've stopped moving around... they're better staying with you for the time being, if you've no objection... Jun 15 14:10:44 None at all. I exercise them every day, and they feed themselves, my Lord Jun 15 14:11:04 Could they be trained to ignore Bir? Jun 15 14:11:16 *Rickon is the winner of the racing, but there seems to be no sulking* Jun 15 14:11:43 * Henning nods “Likely. She’s too big and bright to be prey” Jun 15 14:11:51 * Morgan nods, smiling Jun 15 14:11:56 good. It was concerning me Jun 15 14:12:04 * Henning nods Jun 15 14:12:51 I can bring them to you when you wish Jun 15 14:13:20 * Morgan nods Jun 15 14:13:43 They'll probably help keep things in control...the grounds of Hafenlohr are significantly larger than I expected Jun 15 14:13:56 * Henning nods Jun 15 14:14:01 They’ll enjoy that Jun 15 14:18:24 * Morgan nods Jun 15 14:18:32 I hope so Jun 15 14:18:49 * Henning bows Jun 15 14:19:03 I’ll leave you to your afternoon, my Lord Jun 15 14:19:22 * Morgan smiles, inclining his head Jun 15 14:19:29 Thank you, Henning Jun 15 14:22:24 * Henning gets back on his cart, setting off. The boys continue playing. Edward joins Morgan Jun 15 14:22:30 * Henning is now known as Edward Jun 15 14:22:55 * Edward looks cleaned up from the road and freshly dressed Jun 15 14:23:06 Your resolve held? Jun 15 14:24:39 * Edward smiles slightly Jun 15 14:24:52 Good afternoon to you also, brother(!) Jun 15 14:25:52 I'm sorry, my concern for you overtook my manners Jun 15 14:26:28 * Edward smiles “I don’t think anyone has ever asked me such a thing so quickly” Jun 15 14:27:17 * Morgan shrugs Jun 15 14:27:32 I figured Potts at least would've asked that long before breakfast at some point Jun 15 14:27:47 * Edward chuckles Jun 15 14:28:23 you aren’t wrong Jun 15 14:29:30 * Morgan nods Jun 15 14:35:33 The answer is yes, naturally. The succession depends upon my self-control. Jun 15 14:36:21 * Morgan nods Jun 15 14:36:26 Wouldn't want my sister to be upset Jun 15 14:36:57 * Edward smiles faintly “I cannot promise she won’t be this evening” Jun 15 14:37:56 Then I suggest you ensure she is sated before you consider taking part... Jun 15 14:38:43 Yes, that is my intention, though the provocation is extreme. Jun 15 14:38:59 Oh yes, no doubt she will gleefully test your resolve... Jun 15 14:39:29 Then her disappointment at my poor performance will be her own doing Jun 15 14:40:15 Ah but you'll still be angry with yourself for it... Jun 15 14:40:45 But significantly less frustrated. Jun 15 14:40:57 * Morgan shrugs Jun 15 14:41:02 Its your choice of course Jun 15 14:41:23 * Edward nods Jun 15 14:41:57 You have been spared from the pressure of creating an heir at an appointed time Jun 15 14:42:24 It hasn't been that simple Jun 15 14:42:32 no? Jun 15 14:43:31 Not knowing how it would affect your future... what the Eisenfurst might take from us... the pain each month of believing we were no closer to being able to even consider conceiving... Jun 15 14:46:05 * Edward nods Jun 15 14:46:24 I suppose so, brother Jun 15 14:47:05 * Morgan nods, watching the boys Jun 15 14:47:27 * Edward does likewise, then chuckles Jun 15 14:47:40 I cannot believe -you- asked that. Jun 15 14:48:09 I suppose... I cared enough to put my discomfort aside... Jun 15 14:49:18 * Edward nods Jun 15 14:49:27 That is what brothers do Jun 15 14:49:43 * Morgan nods Jun 15 14:49:58 Of course, HeinzHarold would've asked the second he caught sight of you... and not delicately. Jun 15 14:51:35 * Edward nods Jun 15 14:51:59 Potts likewise, though I would not have told him about Mina’s gift Jun 15 14:52:10 * Morgan chuckles Jun 15 14:52:17 Quite the test isn't it Jun 15 14:54:32 * Edward nods Jun 15 14:55:23 I admire your wife’s ingenuity whilst despairing for myself and all other men subjected to it when that option is not available to them Jun 15 14:58:30 * Morgan nods Jun 15 14:58:44 She is quite creative Jun 15 15:01:24 To your detriment, perhaps, as you have said before you do not participate in that behaviour Jun 15 15:01:57 I know men who do not drink but still enjoy the smell of whiskey Jun 15 15:03:55 * Edward nods Jun 15 15:07:08 Very true... *He’s watching where the group of adults is walking into the courtyard, HH, Inga, Claudia, Uinise, Ma, Ruth, Elsie, James, Theresa, and Walder. But it’s Mina who his eyes are on, in a summery dress of warm pink that suits her well. He notices how Edward puts his hands in his pockets Jun 15 15:07:32 Are you... -anxious-?! Jun 15 15:08:54 No... Jun 15 15:09:12 But... Jun 15 15:09:20 *They all come towards them* Jun 15 15:09:35 I am keen not to be on display to anyone but my wife Jun 15 15:10:32 * Morgan sniggers Jun 15 15:13:23 *Inga comes to hug Morgan. Edward inclines his head to the group, but he’s quickly busy making eyes at his wife* Jun 15 15:13:33 I: Did you have a good ride? Jun 15 15:13:56 HH: $not as good as Edward looks like he’s hoping to get!$ Jun 15 15:14:47 Love, it was so boring... but it went well. Has Varick behaved? Jun 15 15:15:03 $She was rather mean to him before she left$ Jun 15 15:17:56 I: He’s been fine, though he’s mostly played with the boys Jun 15 15:18:38 *Inga lets go so HH can hug him. When he lets go, he gestures $how’s that?$ Jun 15 15:18:59 $Scented cloth with instructions to keep his hands off himself$ Jun 15 15:19:21 * Edward , meanwhile, kisses Mina’s knuckles. They don’t speak, but they don’t seem to need to. Jun 15 15:19:33 $A what now?!$ Jun 15 15:21:00 * Morgan smiles at him slightly Jun 15 15:21:07 How's it been having a full house? Jun 15 15:21:37 HH nods slowly: Yeah... it’s been nice... Jun 15 15:21:57 $I have a bite mark I could do with a bit of Mollying$ Jun 15 15:22:55 *Ma and Ruth are chatting with Elsie. Walder has gone off to talk to the boys* Jun 15 15:23:59 $Savage little miss huh$ Jun 15 15:25:10 $Three o’clock and had to be really quiet$ Jun 15 15:27:31 * Morgan smiles, looking around at the others Jun 15 15:28:04 *the others come to say hello to Morgan, so he soon gets distracted by them, and by holding Thomas who is getting more awake and alert by the day, now nearly six months* Jun 15 15:28:41 * Morgan talks quietly to Thomas Jun 15 15:30:16 I: Where is Molly? Oh, where has Mina gone? Jun 15 15:31:32 * Morgan speaks quietly Jun 15 15:31:54 I suspect she's gone to lie down... Molly was having a nap with Emil, but she should be around... Jun 15 15:31:58 [where you love?] Jun 15 15:32:29 [just coming] Jun 15 15:32:38 * Morgan smiles at Inga Jun 15 15:32:40 On her way Jun 15 15:33:45 I: I could see if I could find some coffee and something to sit on? It’s still warm, and it’d be nice to sit out in the garden together Jun 15 15:35:33 * Morgan nods Jun 15 15:35:35 That'd be nice Jun 15 15:44:13 *This plan announced, the things are gathered and they all head out to the garden at the back. Alice and Florrie have joined them, as well as Molly and Emil. Varick has waved to Morgan, but is busy with his friends* Jun 15 15:44:34 * Edward is now known as Molly Jun 15 15:46:22 * Molly sits on a blanket beside him with her coffee. Emil crawls on the grass in the middle of them, and Florrie sits beside Thomas, showing him flowers Jun 15 15:48:44 *It’s only been two days since they saw them all setting off from Hafenlohr. The only ones who had come back with them but who are absent are Heinrich and Hildegarde. Edward and Mina still haven’t returned. Presumably Yensid, Jarvie, And Grendlik went on to Sudlachenburg with Verity, Adalbrecht and the Forresters Jun 15 15:49:30 [where is Mina, my love?] Jun 15 15:50:26 [probably having a lie down... ] Jun 15 15:50:35 *the others are talking about the plans for Saturday. James is sat holding Elsie’s hand Jun 15 15:50:57 *she smiles slightly* [and Edward?] Jun 15 15:51:11 [I daresay he's doing the same] Jun 15 15:51:27 [did he...?] Jun 15 15:51:39 [apparently not] Jun 15 15:52:12 * Molly leans her cheek to his arm [He did well then?] Jun 15 15:52:43 [Aye, though I don't know their rejoining will be anything tow rite home about] Jun 15 15:53:42 [no? why is that?] Jun 15 15:54:19 [I daresay it'll be over fairly quickly] Jun 15 15:57:31 * Molly is quiet a moment before she says to him [in the right circumstances I could see how that would be very sexy, actually] Jun 15 15:58:08 [oh?] Jun 15 16:00:20 * Molly smiles slightly again [well, if you’d been so desperate to have me when I came home, after having had such easy access to the scent of me and such a restraint, I can see how it would be very flattering] Jun 15 16:01:16 [I can see that I suppose Jun 15 16:04:11 * Molly suddenly jumps slightly Jun 15 16:05:05 Alright love? Jun 15 16:06:00 * Molly nods Jun 15 16:06:11 Yes... yes I am *she smiles* Jun 15 16:06:26 * Morgan nods, watching her fora moment Jun 15 16:06:56 [I wasn’t expecting him to move and it caught me by surprise] Jun 15 16:07:08 * Morgan smiles a little Jun 15 16:07:39 HH: Jarvie says she’ll see you at the church on Saturday Jun 15 16:08:19 They've gone on to Sudlachenburg? Jun 15 16:11:21 HH: Nope, they’re staying here in Jarvie’s house Jun 15 16:13:23 Oh.. alright Jun 15 16:14:01 Inga: I don’t blame them, they’ve lived in Die Dauerhaftigkeit since getting back from Graben, so they must want some time and peace Jun 15 16:14:13 * Molly watches Inga, who glances at HH Jun 15 16:14:33 [It sounds like our friends also want some peace!] Jun 15 16:14:43 [and a little medical attention] Jun 15 16:15:10 [oh really? I’ll need to find some time to catch up with Inga about... things] Jun 15 16:16:25 [oh really? And its HeinzHarold... he's suffered a nasty bite] Jun 15 16:18:20 [Oh Yes, I think I -definitely- need to talk to Inga!] Jun 15 16:21:00 * Morgan smiles a little, sipping his coffee Jun 15 16:22:41 *It’s very relaxed out here, though Claudia looks a little tense. Edward and Mina return, and sit in the space left for them. Mina smiles very politely, delicately pouring Edward some coffee* Jun 15 16:23:00 * Morgan watches Claudia Jun 15 16:23:05 $Whats wrong?$ Jun 15 16:26:07 C: $I’ve missed training, and DeeDee is around somewhere. It hasn’t gotten any better$ Jun 15 16:26:21 $You want to go train?$ Jun 15 16:28:20 C: $you’re happy here with your family, it’s fine$ Jun 15 16:28:36 Mina, to Morgan: How are you, Morgan? Jun 15 16:28:43 $You are my family, and you are not happy.$ Jun 15 16:29:00 * Morgan smiles Jun 15 16:29:29 I'm alright... the journey was tedious. How are you? Jun 15 16:29:58 C: $I’ll wait a little bit$ *Uinise is chatting away, and Claudia watches her fondly* Jun 15 16:30:13 $alright$ Jun 15 16:30:24 *Mina smiles* I am very happy to see all of you Jun 15 16:31:04 *Edward takes his coffee from her. He looks relaxed* Jun 15 16:31:12 * Morgan smiles Jun 15 16:31:56 * Molly is busy watching everyone in their group, but he can tell she’s burning to be off gossiping with Inga and Mina from the looks that pass between them Jun 15 16:32:34 Ed: I was explaining to Mina that our trip was very dull and how pleased we are to have arrived Jun 15 16:32:58 * Morgan nods Jun 15 16:33:17 *Mina smiles a little, nodding before sipping her coffee* It’s good that you’ve come Jun 15 16:33:48 * Molly draws a long deep breath through her nose, trying not to giggle Jun 15 16:34:09 *HH is smirking* $Yeah, -now- I see it$ Jun 15 16:37:27 * Morgan nods slightly Jun 15 16:37:58 *Edward just smiles, watching Florrie talk to the baby* Jun 15 16:38:26 Mina hands Edward a letter: Zench left this for you Jun 15 16:39:41 *Edward takes it and opens it, nodding slightly as he reads through, then smirking* I see. Thank you, Mina Jun 15 16:40:53 Mina watches him: There was a messenger when we got here who was bound for Hafenlohr, to see Potts Jun 15 16:41:38 Something amuses you brother? Jun 15 16:42:43 *Edward nods* Yes, it does, but it is mostly just Court gossip... Jun 15 16:43:12 Oh? Jun 15 16:43:53 *Mina smiles at Edward. Even with Florrie playing in the middle of the group and Alice sat across from them, she looks relaxed and loving towards her husband* Jun 15 16:44:23 *Edward makes the “private talk” gesture* Yes, brother Jun 15 16:44:43 * Morgan nods Jun 15 16:44:49 Any word on how DeeDee slept? Jun 15 16:44:52 HH: $you taught him that?!$ C: How does he know that?$ Jun 15 16:45:18 $I taught him just that. Its different enough that he won't recognise all this$ Jun 15 16:45:40 Mina: He slept well enough from what I heard Jun 15 16:46:11 HH: $probably best$ Jun 15 16:46:46 C: He said he slept well when I saw him this morning Jun 15 16:46:55 * Morgan nods Jun 15 16:46:57 good Jun 15 16:47:07 Ed: Where is he now? Jun 15 16:47:30 *No one seems to know* Jun 15 16:48:06 Maybe he's just enjoying having a wander about Jun 15 16:48:42 Mina: He does seem to enjoy the wilder parts in Graben Jun 15 16:49:11 I quite like the lake... Jun 15 16:49:40 Ed: It is a nice place to walk around Jun 15 16:50:21 [I liked the lake at midnight, and for the three hours afterwards...] Jun 15 16:50:33 * Morgan smiles a little Jun 15 16:50:43 Its particularly nice at night with a clear sky Jun 15 16:51:02 *Edward and Mina share a fond glance* Jun 15 16:51:16 Ed: Indeed it is, with the heavens above... Jun 15 16:51:30 * Morgan nods Jun 15 16:51:33 *Mina nods, sipping her coffee* Jun 15 16:51:55 HH: $looks like they need to get a room!$ Jun 15 16:52:27 $Fairly sure they've already dealt with that$ Jun 15 16:52:33 Ma, to Morgan: Does it glow? Jun 15 16:53:06 *HH smirks $it’s going to If he goes at it a second time so quick$ Jun 15 16:54:07 No, its just a normal, if very cold, lake Jun 15 16:54:44 C: $yuck.$ Jun 15 16:55:29 $Could use him as a beacon at night, glowing in the dark$ Jun 15 16:56:57 Mina: We also have pools fed from hot springs. They are smaller and very warm. Jun 15 16:57:15 And not to my tastes at all Jun 15 16:57:26 HH: $put him at the front, let him guide the way$ Jun 15 16:58:05 [not for when it comes to swimming at least] *she glances at him with an innocent smile* Jun 15 16:58:32 Ruth: That sounds nice Jun 15 16:58:45 * Morgan smiles a little before looking at Ruth Jun 15 16:59:09 Its... not bad. Jun 15 16:59:20 *Ruth suddenly seems to remember something, then blushes, looking away* Jun 15 17:00:15 *Varick comes over to hug Molly and Morgan, and the other boys come with him* Jun 15 17:01:40 * Molly smiles “Hello, Mauschen, have you had a nice time?” *he nods, starting to tell her about what they’ve done. Claudia says something quietly to Uinise before getting up and leaving* Jun 15 17:02:16 $I'm worried about her$ Jun 15 17:07:09 HH: $Yeah, she’s not quite right, but I’m juggling Inga the nymphomaniac, Ma who wants to redecorate my house, and Ruth who is feeling a bit sorry for herself, and the kids too$ Jun 15 17:09:12 Will you excuse me? I want to talk to Claudia about something Jun 15 17:10:28 * Molly nods “Of course, my love. It’ll be time for the children’s tea and bed for the little ones soon” Jun 15 17:10:55 HH: $hear that, man? bed for the little ones. Sounds like you’ll be able to get some.” Jun 15 17:11:12 * Morgan nods, kissing her cheek Jun 15 17:11:18 $Got plenty this morning thanks$ Jun 15 17:11:27 * Morgan excuses himself, going to catch Claudia Jun 15 17:12:36 * Molly is now known as Claudia Jun 15 17:13:20 * Claudia hasn’t gone far, just out of the way of the others. He can hear laughter and chatting from behind him Jun 15 17:13:56 * Morgan moves up beside her Jun 15 17:14:20 HeinzHarold says you're not quite right... Jun 15 17:16:53 * Claudia sighs Jun 15 17:17:10 I think I fucked up Jun 15 17:18:12 Why? Jun 15 17:19:13 That, back at Hafenlohr. It’s stuck in my head. And the nightmare of Erlangen was back last night, which always shits me up Jun 15 17:19:29 shit. I'm sorry. Jun 15 17:21:22 Not your fault. It was my choice Jun 15 17:21:36 Even so Jun 15 17:24:18 I don’t want to hurt her. Jun 15 17:24:28 I know you don't Jun 15 17:25:17 It feels like it’s getting out of control, and that scares me shitless Jun 15 17:25:31 * Morgan nods Jun 15 17:25:39 Yeah... I know that feeling Jun 15 17:26:51 You had that with Molly? Or Dietlinde? Jun 15 17:27:22 I had it with both but... it wasn't scary with Dietlinde... but after closing myself off, it was terrifying with Molly Jun 15 17:27:41 * Claudia nods Jun 15 17:28:15 If it wasn’t for Uinise, I’d just go away for a few weeks Jun 15 17:29:25 * Morgan nods Jun 15 17:32:42 But I can’t Jun 15 17:32:54 No, not really... Jun 15 17:33:48 * Claudia nods Jun 15 17:34:34 I don’t know how to handle it Jun 15 17:34:48 *she sounds uncommonly vulnerable* Jun 15 17:34:58 Can I hug you? Jun 15 17:37:37 yeah Jun 15 17:38:34 * Morgan moves to her, enveloping her in a hug Jun 15 17:39:19 I know its tough Jun 15 17:39:49 * Claudia hugs him Jun 15 17:39:59 tighter, okay? Jun 15 17:40:10 * Morgan nods, holding her tighter Jun 15 17:40:13 Whatever you need Jun 15 17:40:36 This fucking sucks, and I fucking hate it. I can’t keep going like this Jun 15 17:41:49 * Morgan nods Jun 15 17:41:52 I know Jun 15 17:45:35 * Claudia sighs Jun 15 17:45:53 Why can’t I stop it, Morgan? Jun 15 17:46:43 Because that isn't how it works Jun 15 17:48:51 Yeah, well. I have something so good with Uinise, I can’t ruin it. Jun 15 17:50:16 * Morgan nods Jun 15 17:50:22 Is it long term? Jun 15 17:52:48 I don’t know. I don’t know I can commit my future to someone or give up that control. But I can’t imagine living the rest of my life never having again what I have with her Jun 15 17:53:36 But... you could have that with someone else... Jun 15 17:56:19 What are the chances of meeting another woman who likes women and who doesn’t hide that, and who doesn’t want a man at all Jun 15 17:56:37 That isn't what I meant... Jun 15 17:56:42 what then? Jun 15 17:57:18 Maybe its time to accept that you could be happy with him... Jun 15 17:59:19 I don’t want to have a sex life with a man Jun 15 17:59:59 * Morgan lets her go, holding on to her hands Jun 15 18:00:15 Your head says that... Jun 15 18:01:18 * Claudia shakes her head Jun 15 18:01:31 My -body- says that. Jun 15 18:03:12 Seeing how you reacted to him... your body says otherwise... in his case at least Jun 15 18:04:43 Uinise and I have something that couldn’t be replicated with a man, it’s physically impossible Jun 15 18:04:57 What? Jun 15 18:07:01 multiple orgasms, for hours on end, together Jun 15 18:07:34 * Morgan blushes Jun 15 18:07:46 Okay, so -he- couldn't have them... but you still could Jun 15 18:08:15 * Claudia smiles slightly Jun 15 18:08:17 you asked. Jun 15 18:08:28 * Morgan nods Jun 15 18:08:34 I did. But I didn't shy away from it Jun 15 18:08:40 * Claudia nods Jun 15 18:09:04 It’s not enough for me. It’s not what I like Jun 15 18:09:18 * Morgan nods Jun 15 18:09:37 Alright. You do know that people are attracted to more than one person all the time, right? Jun 15 18:10:30 Except you *she smiles* Jun 15 18:11:49 Well, yeah, but we've established I'm not normal Jun 15 18:12:12 I’ll never admit I said it, but I think that’s sweet Jun 15 18:13:11 That Im not normal? Jun 15 18:13:28 That you’re so committed Jun 15 18:14:24 * Morgan smiles Jun 15 18:14:32 You wouldn't have stuck by me if I wasn't Jun 15 18:16:19 probably not. I like your loyalty, to everyone Jun 15 18:16:49 * Morgan nods Jun 15 18:18:18 Maybe I need them to get rid of it Jun 15 18:18:42 They are... reluctant Jun 15 18:19:23 why? Jun 15 18:20:20 Because... I have seen how... -happy- you can be with him. Jun 15 18:30:26 why do they even care? we aren’t part of this destiny shit Jun 15 18:31:45 Its... weird. They're taking more actions that serve no purpose for their grand plan... but because it will make someone happy. Jun 15 18:32:07 But it’s making me miserable-now- Jun 15 18:32:23 You recall how miserable it made me? Jun 15 18:33:16 you and Molly? Jun 15 18:33:21 * Morgan nods Jun 15 18:33:37 The struggles I had with feeling like I was betraying Dietlinde... all of it... Jun 15 18:35:24 Some. But wasn’t most of that before you were even here? Jun 15 18:36:01 So? The struggle is the same... but look at how -happy- I am now. Jun 15 18:43:26 But you -wanted- to be with her? Jun 15 18:44:47 To start with, no... or... I wasn't ready to admit it Jun 15 18:45:52 What about -Uinise-, Morgan? She’s -happy- now. She has had the best sex of her life, her words. Jun 15 18:47:19 I don't know... but what about once she goes home? What does that hold for the two of you? Jun 15 18:54:44 I don’t know, but if I’m sailing there we’ll still be able to see each other a few times a year Jun 15 18:55:00 Will that be enough for her? For you? Jun 15 18:55:11 I don’t know. Jun 15 18:55:48 * Morgan nods Jun 15 18:56:03 I think... taking it away is a mistake Jun 15 18:56:33 How the fuck did you come to terms with it with Molly? Jun 15 18:57:15 [my love, is everything alright?] Jun 15 18:57:26 [Just... some big feelings love] Jun 15 18:57:58 [hers? or are you unsettled somehow?] Jun 15 18:58:09 With time... and not being able to run away... and support. HeinzHarolds surprisingly good at helping you through it Jun 15 18:58:19 [hers, blossom. I'm alright] Jun 15 18:59:08 * Claudia nods Jun 15 19:00:53 Thanks, Morgan. Jun 15 19:01:48 * Morgan looks at her seriously Jun 15 19:01:49 always Jun 15 19:02:21 * Claudia nods Jun 15 19:02:25 I know Jun 15 19:02:51 [Oh... this is sweet...] Jun 15 19:02:58 [whats that?] Jun 15 19:03:12 * Morgan looks around Jun 15 19:03:23 Want to hear something less earthshaking? Jun 15 19:03:42 *she sends him the image. Florrie is sat on Edward’s lap, and Mina is sat beside them, not looking particularly tense* Jun 15 19:03:47 Go on Jun 15 19:04:55 The night everyone was camped out,I'm sat there and I got that feeling I was being watched, right... figured one of our little grey associates wanted something, so got up and walked toward where I thought the feeling came from... Jun 15 19:04:59 [oh that is lovely] Jun 15 19:05:40 Right? Jun 15 19:05:59 Wasn't one of them... was something else entirely... Jun 15 19:06:09 [it is. It’s been hard work, but I never imagined we could get even this far] Jun 15 19:06:17 what was it? Jun 15 19:06:27 A certain erstwhile goddess... Jun 15 19:08:58 Huh. Why? Jun 15 19:09:20 She wanted to give me something, a gift for the christening... for the children. Jun 15 19:09:30 what was it? Jun 15 19:09:48 Oh the usual, magic rock that repels supernatural things Jun 15 19:11:40 * Claudia nods Jun 15 19:11:44 Useful Jun 15 19:11:52 * Morgan nods Jun 15 19:12:04 You'd think I'd be used to seeing her... but in person... Jun 15 19:13:59 * Claudia nods Jun 15 19:14:08 it’s a bit more real? Jun 15 19:14:13 * Morgan nods Jun 15 19:14:19 Its a bit... shaking. Jun 15 19:15:28 * Claudia nods Jun 15 19:15:40 If she can visit, why can’t he? Jun 15 19:15:59 * Morgan shrugs Jun 15 19:16:07 I have no idea. I hold some resentment for that. Jun 15 19:17:29 * Claudia nods Jun 15 19:17:53 I get why you do Jun 15 19:18:09 * Morgan nods Jun 15 19:21:26 [we’re going to take the children in to feed them, my love, if you need me] Jun 15 19:21:53 [alright my love. I'll be in before too long.] Jun 15 19:25:13 [thats what he said...] Jun 15 19:25:32 You wanna train? Jun 15 19:25:38 * Morgan smiles Jun 15 19:25:40 Will it help? Jun 15 19:28:32 usually does, besides, when did you last do it? Jun 15 19:28:55 This mor... oh, you mean train... been too long. Jun 15 19:30:09 * Claudia laughs “No quiet hour on the road, I guess. We should be training more. If there’s a chance there’ll be more shift like the Ashkoven, we need to be ready” Jun 15 19:30:22 * Morgan nods Jun 15 19:30:29 You're right of course Jun 15 19:30:51 All of us. But I guess you’ll keep Molly out of it Jun 15 19:31:07 * Morgan nods Jun 15 19:31:21 Definitely. She has to be protected at all costs Jun 15 19:34:25 * Claudia moves into a clear space Jun 15 19:34:33 Is that chafing yet? Jun 15 19:34:40 What? Jun 15 19:34:52 For her, being told not to do things? Jun 15 19:35:05 Oh yeah, definitely. Particularly when I wouldn't let her ride here Jun 15 19:35:44 how are you going to handle it? Jun 15 19:36:05 With compassion and resilience. Jun 15 19:37:00 * Claudia nods Jun 15 19:37:13 No riding, no swords, no pistols? Jun 15 19:37:30 No pistols anyway, after last time... Jun 15 19:39:31 * Claudia nods, drawing her sword and looking it over Jun 15 19:39:45 Archery? She has a natural aptitude? Jun 15 19:40:26 * Morgan nods, doing likewise Jun 15 19:40:29 Worth considering Jun 15 19:43:06 It keeps her practicing -something-. Direct her energy into something else, and she might resent being constrained less Jun 15 19:49:07 * Morgan nods Jun 15 19:49:12 Thats a good idea Jun 15 19:49:31 * Claudia nods Jun 15 19:49:50 are you ready? Jun 15 19:50:15 * Morgan smiles, nodding Jun 15 19:50:17 aye... have at it Jun 15 19:50:44 * Claudia salutes before letting loose on him savagely Jun 15 19:51:12 * Morgan keeps up, letting her get her frustration out Jun 15 19:52:19 *this takes quite a while, but after half an hour she’s breathing hard and drenched in sweat, looking physically spent Jun 15 19:53:21 * Morgan lowers his sword, backing up Jun 15 19:53:22 Done? Jun 15 19:53:32 * Claudia nods Jun 15 19:53:38 yeah... done. Jun 15 19:53:59 * Morgan nods, putting away his sword Jun 15 19:54:09 * Claudia does likewise Jun 15 19:54:53 Thanks Jun 15 19:55:03 * Morgan smiles Jun 15 19:55:25 Pleasure... Jun 15 19:55:55 * Claudia nods, lifting her arm and sniffing Jun 15 19:56:11 okay, I’m going for a wash Jun 15 19:56:27 * Morgan nods Jun 15 19:56:38 Good idea... think I'll do the same Jun 15 19:57:14 * Claudia nods. As they’re heading in, they bump into Edward Jun 15 19:57:40 * Claudia is now known as Edward Jun 15 19:58:07 * Edward inclines his head to them. Claudia looks at Morgan “see you at dinner” Jun 15 19:58:20 * Morgan nods, letting her go Jun 15 19:58:48 Everything alright? Jun 15 19:59:15 Aye... more or less. Jun 15 20:00:21 * Edward nods “Good. I was looking for parchment and a quill Jun 15 20:01:14 * Morgan nods, leading him to the office Jun 15 20:02:05 * Edward sits at their uncle’s old desk, taking a sheet and undoing an inkwell Jun 15 20:02:32 Zench did indeed suffer Jun 15 20:02:49 I am unsurprised... Jun 15 20:03:24 I doubt she’ll stop doing it Jun 15 20:03:55 * Morgan nods Jun 15 20:03:56 So do I Jun 15 20:04:28 * Edward starts writing Jun 15 20:04:40 Pott’s brother is injured Jun 15 20:04:50 * Morgan frowns Jun 15 20:04:54 Badly? Jun 15 20:05:12 No. It was just a duel to first blood Jun 15 20:05:59 Given their attitude towards him, will be bothered? Are -we- bothered? Jun 15 20:06:27 no, just amused he was stupid enough to get caught Jun 15 20:07:05 * Morgan nods Jun 15 20:07:07 Oh well then Jun 15 20:07:31 Fell foul of the Metternichs Jun 15 20:08:09 Just out of idle curiosity... his name wouldn't be something pretentious like... Julius? Jun 15 20:09:04 * Edward chuckles “Indeed. The Pottersdam children are called Aloysius, Julius, Amaryllis, and Matthias.” Jun 15 20:09:18 * Morgan nods, looking out of the window Jun 15 20:09:43 Didn't happen to be caught humping a Freiarrin in some gardens... Jun 15 20:10:41 She’s a Grafin, but yes. Suzanne gets caught humping her lovers at house parties with a disturbing frequency, almost always by her husband Jun 15 20:13:06 He's lucky he didn't get himself killed Jun 15 20:15:10 Metternich is an excellent duellist, and will cut you cleanly and with minimal pain Jun 15 20:16:03 Maybe he needs to make a few examples to warn others off... Jun 15 20:16:38 No... I know of at least ten, and there’s likely many more Jun 15 20:17:22 * Morgan shrugs Jun 15 20:17:28 Not something I would ever tolerate Jun 15 20:19:22 Your wife is not that sort of woman. Though I suspect she has a sensualist’s nature, she has a fiercely loyal heart, and that heart belongs to you alone Jun 15 20:19:39 * Morgan nods Jun 15 20:19:45 I know... I meant... in general. Jun 15 20:19:56 * Edward nods Jun 15 20:20:17 Truth be told, the rumours are that it is what keeps their marriage alive Jun 15 20:20:37 A pity that others keep being injured for that Jun 15 20:22:36 * Edward smiles Jun 15 20:22:49 It not as if they do not know she is married, brother. Jun 15 20:23:11 I know, I know... Jun 15 20:24:07 * Edward smiles faintly “Lusty young men make silly mistakes when faced with a very beautiful, experienced, and confident older woman” Jun 15 20:24:58 I wouldn't know Jun 15 20:26:37 /me chuckles Jun 15 20:26:48 Take it from one who does then Jun 15 20:27:14 * Morgan nods Jun 15 20:27:16 Fair enough Jun 15 20:27:33 * Edward folds the letter Jun 15 20:28:00 Do you need a confirmation that I have done my duty to our family name? Jun 15 20:28:48 No, Mina confirmed that Jun 15 20:31:17 * Edward smiles Jun 15 20:31:49 I was given my marching orders to get back to the guests so no one suspected... Jun 15 20:32:15 Oh but we all knew Jun 15 20:33:38 * Edward nods Jun 15 20:33:54 I am afraid duty must be done... Jun 15 20:34:05 Its a terribly task you've ad to endure Jun 15 20:34:14 * Edward nods Jun 15 20:34:51 I had suggested we would plead tiredness so I could have rested to recover Jun 15 20:35:24 And she refused... how cruel Jun 15 20:35:53 I know, especially after what I’ve endured for two days Jun 15 20:37:23 * Morgan nods Jun 15 20:37:26 Your poor thing Jun 15 20:38:48 Quite so. However, thanks to Molly’s advice, Mina is certain that it must not happen again until Saturday Jun 15 20:39:08 * Morgan nods Jun 15 20:39:12 It'll give the best chance... Jun 15 20:39:45 ... of my gingamebobs resembling the night sky. Jun 15 20:40:07 * Morgan laughs Jun 15 20:42:32 The days will come when we are no longer on a schedule. Jun 15 20:42:56 *he looks for a tinderbox to light the candle to melt the wax Jun 15 20:43:30 * Morgan watches him with amusement Jun 15 20:43:39 Aye, they will Jun 15 20:46:19 Mina does not seem to have been too perturbed that I was in Hafenlohr with Alice without her Jun 15 20:46:41 No, she seems quite relaxed... Jun 15 20:47:48 * Edward glances at him with a smirk Jun 15 20:48:15 Do you need to go and start a conversation with my wife to ask her if she’s behaved herself, brother? Jun 15 20:48:40 * Morgan shrugs Jun 15 20:48:46 Her behaving herself isn't necessary Jun 15 20:49:14 Which is fortunate Jun 15 20:49:25 *he keeps looking* Jun 15 20:49:37 * Morgan starts to chuckle Jun 15 20:49:45 what? Jun 15 20:49:52 What are you looking for? Jun 15 20:50:48 A tinderbox and a candle Jun 15 20:51:07 * Morgan points at the candle before it just lights Jun 15 20:52:33 * Edward nods, finding the wax Jun 15 20:52:36 thank you Jun 15 20:52:46 * Morgan rolls his eyes Jun 15 20:54:17 I don’t always think of it Jun 15 20:55:10 I suppose... I cant really comment since I still carry a tinderbox Jun 15 20:56:12 Sleight of hand is important Jun 15 20:56:28 *he seals the letter before standing* Jun 15 20:56:59 I have promised to put my daughter to bed Jun 15 20:57:04 * Morgan nods Jun 15 20:57:09 I'd best do the same with my sons Jun 15 20:57:35 * Edward nods “Are you announcing the quickening tonight?” Jun 15 20:58:16 We might... I'd rather word not get back to Sudlachenburg before we have chance to tell Sascha and Otto Jun 15 20:59:17 * Edward nods Jun 15 20:59:34 You wish me to withhold it from Mimi? Jun 15 20:59:55 I... maybe let Molly tell her... Jun 15 21:02:01 * Edward nods Jun 15 21:02:31 Alright Jun 15 21:04:15 * Morgan puts the candle out Jun 15 21:04:23 Come on then, lets get the children to bed Jun 15 21:05:06 * Edward goes on up, knocking on Alice’s door. It sounds like Molly is in Varick’s room Jun 15 21:05:18 * Morgan goes in Jun 15 21:05:26 Varick: But Mama, Jacques And Rickon get to stay up! Jun 15 21:05:32 * Edward is now known as Molly Jun 15 21:05:54 They are both older than you, and their parents are still working, that is why Jun 15 21:08:46 * Molly is knelt on the floor changing Emil, Varick is sat on his bed Jun 15 21:10:07 *Varick looks to Morgan* Vati, it’s not fair! Jun 15 21:14:41 I know it feels that way, but you have to have your sleep Jun 15 21:19:01 V: I want to play Jun 15 21:19:10 E: Ay! Jun 15 21:19:51 * Molly does up the pin Jun 15 21:20:40 You can play in the morning Jun 15 21:22:42 [have you told him about the quickening?] Jun 15 21:22:57 [I’ve told noone] Jun 15 21:23:27 [Edward asked if we're announcing it... but I think we should tell Varick. He'll be upset if he doesn't know before the others] Jun 15 21:24:02 * Molly nods slightly, picking up Emil Jun 15 21:24:46 Tell me, Varick... how have you done at keeping the baby a secret? Jun 15 21:25:03 V: it is reeeeeeally hard! Jun 15 21:25:21 You're so happy about it, huh Jun 15 21:25:53 *Varick nods* I will have two baby brothers then Jun 15 21:26:51 You think it'll be a boy? Jun 15 21:27:44 *Varick nods* Mama is still pretty, and people say if you’re still pretty it’s a boy Jun 15 21:27:55 * Molly smiles Jun 15 21:28:10 Thats very sweet Jun 15 21:30:03 V: what do you think it is? Jun 15 21:31:21 Probably a baby Jun 15 21:32:12 V: it would be funny if it was a foal! Jun 15 21:32:56 [having seen the size of horses aroused, I’ll pass, thank you!] Jun 15 21:33:22 [and here I was feeling quite confident in that regard] Jun 15 21:33:30 We'll be able to tell people very soon Jun 15 21:33:44 * Molly smiles, kissing Emil’s crown Jun 15 21:35:05 [you are perfect, I like to be stretched, not torn!] Jun 15 21:35:24 Varick: when? Jun 15 21:36:28 -very- soon Jun 15 21:37:10 *Varick lies down. Molly undoes her dress to nurse* Jun 15 21:37:24 V: How soon is very soon, Vati? Jun 15 21:37:43 Well, you know what we're waiting for? Jun 15 21:37:52 V: no Jun 15 21:38:33 So, we're waiting for mama to be able to feel the baby move... it'll be quite a while after that before we can feel it, but she'll feel it much sooner Jun 15 21:38:48 V: okay Jun 15 21:39:25 Once she feels that we can start telling people... but we'll want t keep it a bit quiet, so we can talk to Sascha and Otto about it Jun 15 21:41:02 *Varick nods, smiling* okay, because they might feel sad? Jun 15 21:42:03 I don't think they will... but I'm not completely sure Jun 15 21:45:47 *Varick nods* When will she feel it? Jun 15 21:46:26 * Morgan glances at her Jun 15 21:46:29 Yesterday? Jun 15 21:47:15 * Molly nods, smiling Jun 15 21:47:34 *Varick looks excited* what does it feel like?! Jun 15 21:48:09 It’s like someone is gently tickling you, or like a tiny flap of butterfly wings Jun 15 21:48:21 *Varick looks to Morgan* That’s our baby! Jun 15 21:48:54 * Morgan smiles, nodding Jun 15 21:50:25 tomorrow we’ll see if you can hear the baby, alright? But only if you try to go to sleep Jun 15 21:50:38 *Varick nods* Yes, Mama, I will! Jun 15 21:51:16 Good lad Jun 15 21:53:03 *Varick gets the bear to cuddle, and closes his eyes tight shut, Molly smiles at Morgan whilst she feeds Emil Jun 15 21:53:23 * Morgan smiles, gently stroking his forehead Jun 15 21:54:51 *Varick does seem to drop off easily, fully asleep by the time Molly transfers Emil from her breast to the crib* Jun 15 21:56:21 * Morgan takes her hand Jun 15 21:57:34 * Molly smiles, trying to do up her dress with her left Jun 15 22:00:13 [I think they’ll be fine] Jun 15 22:01:43 [alone?] Jun 15 22:02:57 [Neither usually wakes, and Varick is grown up enough to find us in a house he knows well] Jun 15 22:03:10 * Morgan takes a deep breath, nodding Jun 15 22:03:14 [alright then] Jun 15 22:03:50 * Molly leads out into the hall and then to their room before saying “it makes you nervous?” Jun 15 22:04:13 A little, yes Jun 15 22:05:58 I suppose I could stay with them Jun 15 22:06:36 No, love... Jun 15 22:08:13 * Molly sits at the dresser “would you please get the brush from the trunk?” Jun 15 22:08:29 * Morgan nods, going to get it Jun 15 22:10:35 * Molly watches in the mirror as she undoes her hair Jun 15 22:10:42 How are you, my love? Jun 15 22:11:21 I'm alright... just wondering about telling the others you've felt the quickening... Jun 15 22:14:00 * Molly holds her hand out for the brush “I’m sure they’d understand to say nothing yet” Jun 15 22:14:13 * Morgan nods, sighing Jun 15 22:14:15 I suppose so Jun 15 22:16:56 I don’t mind, my love. it can be our secret a little longer if you wish Jun 15 22:17:31 You do to wish me to brush your hair? Jun 15 22:19:01 I would like it, but it seems your mind is elsewhere Jun 15 22:23:27 Just thinking about telling people, thats all Jun 15 22:23:31 * Morgan moves to stand behind her Jun 15 22:24:51 * Molly smiles at him in the reflection “Are you excited to?” Jun 15 22:24:57 * Morgan nods Jun 15 22:25:01 Definitely Jun 15 22:25:42 * Molly nods Jun 15 22:25:50 me too, my love Jun 15 22:26:20 * Morgan nods, undoing her hair Jun 15 22:27:36 * Molly sighs, he can see the tension drop out of her shoulders Jun 15 22:27:59 * Morgan fans her hair out before starting to brush it Jun 15 22:28:03 Did you wish to tell me about Claudia, or were you hoping for a sweet, romantic moment? Jun 15 22:29:36 The latter I think Jun 15 22:29:45 * Molly nods, smiling Jun 15 22:30:02 that is what you shall have, my darling. whatever you wish Jun 15 22:31:27 *her hair smells good, just as it has been doing when he’s woken with his face in it dreaming of her pregnant. she makes a little mmm as the brush goes through it* oh, that’s nice... Jun 15 22:31:45 * Morgan nods, smiling Jun 15 22:32:11 So... what shall we do? Tell them with instructions its to go no further until I've spoken to Sascha and Otto? Jun 15 22:34:30 mmmmm... yes... Jun 15 22:34:48 * Molly has her eyes closed, smiling Jun 15 22:35:04 * Morgan nods, continuing Jun 15 22:35:06 Alright then Jun 15 22:35:33 ohhhh... tonight? *she shivers* Jun 15 22:36:43 * Morgan nods Jun 15 22:36:46 Yes I think so Jun 15 22:37:38 okay... *she draws a deeper breath, tipping her head back a little* this feels wonderful Jun 15 22:41:36 * Morgan chuckles Jun 15 22:41:47 I'm glad you think so Jun 15 22:45:51 mmmhmmm... *she fidgets* do you... will you keep going? Jun 15 22:46:02 If you'd like Jun 15 22:46:58 Oh yes, please. Like you did yesterday? Jun 15 22:47:08 * Morgan nods, doing so Jun 15 22:49:29 * Molly clearly enjoys this greatly, as she had before, and he can see how that sensation builds for her as she holds the edge of the dressing table. her eyes still closed. Jun 15 22:50:04 * Morgan watches her, smiling as he drags the brush across her scalp Jun 15 22:51:27 * Molly makes a purring sort of sound, biting her lip before saying “nearly... so nearly...” Jun 15 22:51:40 * Morgan nods, not stopping Jun 15 22:51:41 Mmhmm Jun 15 22:53:40 oh! mmhmm... right there! Jun 15 22:54:13 * Morgan smiles, doing it again Jun 15 22:56:03 * Molly shivers hard with a little moan as his brushing brings her to orgasm Jun 15 22:58:20 There we go my love.... Jun 15 22:58:45 oh god that’s so good Jun 15 22:58:53 * Morgan chuckles Jun 15 23:00:09 * Molly smiles, exhaling “that will do, my love” Jun 15 23:00:26 * Morgan nods, putting the brush sideband kissing her crown Jun 15 23:00:32 Time to get ready then love Jun 15 23:01:55 * Molly turns on the stool, resting her cheek to his heart “There’s nothing you need?” Jun 15 23:02:31 I can wait... we need to get ready for dinner don't we Jun 15 23:03:04 * Molly shrugs “I suppose so...” Jun 15 23:03:48 You don't wish to? Jun 15 23:04:48 * Molly smiles up at him “my thoughts are far from eating, that is all” Jun 15 23:04:56 Oh? Jun 15 23:06:01 I’ve had little to do all day but think of what we did this morning, and how you kissed me when we were stopped. But you wish to wait, and I will respect that Jun 15 23:08:38 * Morgan checks the time Jun 15 23:08:58 *it’s twenty past six Jun 15 23:09:41 We've probably got time Jun 15 23:11:06 But you do not need me? Jun 15 23:11:29 I always need you... Jun 15 23:11:48 * Molly smiles Jun 15 23:12:22 I meant in bed, my love... *she strokes his flanks* Jun 15 23:13:02 Yes, I know Jun 15 23:13:30 * Molly nods “What would delight you?” Jun 15 23:14:13 I don't really know... Jun 15 23:15:04 * Molly brings her hands to his waistband Jun 15 23:15:37 when it comes to you, I have more ideas for sexual pleasure than one mind should be able to hold... Jun 15 23:15:58 Oh really? Jun 15 23:16:31 * Molly smiles, undoing one side of his placket “you did not know?” Jun 15 23:16:56 I was just wondering what some of those ideas might be Jun 15 23:17:22 * Molly undoes the other side Jun 15 23:17:55 You could take me against the door... Jun 15 23:18:13 Mmhmm, I could Jun 15 23:18:37 * Molly undoes the button that holds the waist band closed Jun 15 23:19:51 you could sit me on the dressing table... part my thighs as you sit on the stool... and make love to me with your mouth... Jun 15 23:20:21 * Morgan nods Jun 15 23:20:23 I could Jun 15 23:20:38 * Molly pushes his trousers down, assessing his response Jun 15 23:20:59 * Morgan is fairly hard Jun 15 23:21:20 you could bend me over the dressing table... have me from behind as you watch my face in the mirror... Jun 15 23:21:32 * Morgan nods Jun 15 23:21:37 Thats a good idea Jun 15 23:21:56 * Molly wraps her hand around his cock gently Jun 15 23:24:16 I could kneel down and open my mouth with my tongue out... you could see me in the reflection as well as gaze down at me as you bring yourself off on my face... Jun 15 23:24:29 * Morgan throbs gently in her hand Jun 15 23:24:46 * Molly smiles, stroking him Jun 15 23:25:24 You see, my desires are a veritable menu that I can bring to you and you can order whatever seems most delicious... Jun 15 23:25:43 * Morgan nods, moaning quietly Jun 15 23:27:07 I could take off my dress, sit here and put oil on my breasts... Jun 15 23:27:27 * Molly strokes him a little tighter and faster Jun 15 23:27:34 * Morgan nods Jun 15 23:27:45 That sounds intriguing but... I doubt we have tie for that Jun 15 23:29:39 we may have to reserve that for your next visit... what else... *she takes her hand right to his base and grinds her little finger and side of her palm against his groin Jun 15 23:30:02 * Morgan moans again Jun 15 23:32:16 You could sit here upon the stool... I could face away, and still ride your manhood... at the right angle I think you could watch me in the mirror as I do... Jun 15 23:32:36 * Molly brings her hand back up him snugly Jun 15 23:32:45 * Morgan nods Jun 15 23:32:48 mmhmm Jun 15 23:35:07 * Molly speeds a little “or we could lie side by side and pleasure each other with our mouths... I could be on all fours on the edge of the bed... “ Jun 15 23:36:19 So many choices... Jun 15 23:36:30 * Molly nods Jun 15 23:36:48 So many illicit thoughts of you that plague me relentlessly... Jun 15 23:37:24 * Morgan nods, tilting his head back Jun 15 23:39:12 Or... I could pull my dress right up and lie back, you could make love to me and then pull out to stroke yourself until you release on my belly... *she watches his expression, still stroking him firmly* Jun 15 23:40:23 * Morgan blushes, moaning Jun 15 23:41:39 * Molly smiles “Yes, I find that one particularly arousing too... if not today, then one day.” Jun 15 23:41:50 * Morgan nods Jun 15 23:41:53 definitely Jun 15 23:42:37 * Molly tightens her grip further, going a little faster Jun 15 23:44:05 I wanted you today, outside that tavern, my skirts hitched and... *she bites her lip a moment, watching his eyes as she blushes, smiling* ... and fucked hard against that tree... Jun 15 23:44:19 * Morgan moans deeply Jun 15 23:45:37 I could picture it as we were stood there, the feel of your hips as my legs wrapped around you... *she doesn’t let up in the movement of her hand* Jun 15 23:45:52 God that feels good Jun 15 23:47:10 Good... it felt good in my imagination when your body held mine to the bark and you fumbled between us to free -this-, so beautifully hot and hard... Jun 15 23:47:29 * Morgan nods, swallowing hard Jun 15 23:47:49 * Molly keeps the pace steady and regular Jun 15 23:48:59 But it would have felt even better when you’d lined yourself up to me, notching your tip against my soft sweet heat... Jun 15 23:49:23 * Morgan gasps, biting his lip Jun 15 23:50:59 *there’s a knock at the door. She rolls her eyes, standing up, and murmurs “Stay where you are...” Jun 15 23:52:16 * Morgan looks dubious but nods Jun 15 23:52:24 *Inga says from the other side* Molly, are you decent? Jun 15 23:53:45 * Molly continues stroking him “No, don’t come in. is everything okay?” *then She uses her other hand to gather up her overskirt, handing it to him as she whispers “hold this”* Jun 15 23:54:22 * Morgan looks confused, but holds it Jun 15 23:54:31 I: I wanted to see if you could look at Heinzharold before dinner, that’s all Jun 15 23:56:49 *With the top skirt out of the way, it’s only her petticoat at risk of getting wet. She strokes him faster and tighter as she whispers “It’d have felt so blissfully good as you hilted yourself right into my core out there in the open...” *Louder she says to Inga “I’ll be ready in ten minutes” Jun 15 23:57:17 * Morgan tries to modulate his breathing Jun 15 23:58:51 * Molly watches this with interest, pupils so wide “You’d have taken hold of my hair, holding me in place so you could fuck me so deeply...” Jun 15 23:59:06 Inga: Thank you, we’ll come then Jun 15 23:59:29 * Morgan holds his breath, swelling in her hand
