Jun 20 19:27:00 Uhhh... the former I think Jun 20 19:27:00 * Molly nods Jun 20 19:27:00 As you’ve had both my rear and my hand, would you prefer something different this time? Jun 20 19:27:02 * Morgan blushes, nodding Jun 20 19:27:04 Alright... how about... *she moves, on the edge of the bed on all fours, her ass high, breasts against the sheets. she watches him with arousal and mischief Jun 20 19:27:08 * Morgan smirks Jun 20 19:27:08 Thats nice, but I don't see how that helps me... Jun 20 19:27:12 you are supposed to be behind me, my love... Jun 20 19:27:14 Oh... oh I see Jun 20 19:27:18 * Morgan gets up, moving behind her Jun 20 19:27:20 alright... now what? Jun 20 19:27:22 are you truly not sure, or do you simply desire me to talk dirty? Jun 20 19:27:24 Oh, definitely the latter Jun 20 19:27:26 interesting, you like that more than I expected. First you take off your clothes whilst you admire how I present myself for your perusal... Jun 20 19:29:25 *this progresses, her telling him what to do, how to do it, describing things. He’s just followed the instruction to make his first thrust right to the hilt when there’s a knock on the door* Jun 20 19:30:15 * Molly sighs, burying her face in the sheets to utters rude word Jun 20 19:30:36 * Morgan huffs Jun 20 19:30:38 Who is it? Jun 20 19:30:56 Varick: I had a nightmare...

Jun 20 19:33:55 V: I dreamt Lady Eldreich came back for me and she wanted to lock me in the cupboard Jun 20 19:34:19 * Molly is now known as Varick Jun 20 19:34:38 I see... we've got you, Varick, you're safe Jun 20 19:34:50 *the room is very dark, but he can hear Ballard in here snoring a little Jun 20 19:37:20 Ok. She’s dead now. Dead people can’t come back Jun 20 19:38:19 * Morgan sits on the bed, gently rocking him Jun 20 19:38:36 *Molly comes in behind them, barely any time after Jun 20 19:38:50 *Varick seems to be relaxing* Jun 20 19:39:32 M: *she speaks quietly as Emil is asleep in the crib* I’m here now, Mauschen Jun 20 19:40:09 [he dreamed Alarice was back from the dead and wanted to lock him in the cupboard] Jun 20 19:40:39 [I suppose we should have realised...] Jun 20 19:41:02 V: Okay Mama, I can get in bed now Jun 20 19:41:24 * Morgan nods, kissing the boys crown before putting him on the bed and standing up Jun 20 19:41:53 [I’ll be back when he’s asleep...] Jun 20 19:42:28 *Molly kisses Morgan’s cheek before sitting on the floor bedside Varick’s bed* Jun 20 19:43:28 * Morgan nods, leaving the room and heading back to his own Jun 20 19:44:39 *On the bed she’s left him Edward’s painting of her, a cream flannel, and one of those pink cloths which looks very slick and shimmery in the lamp light* Jun 20 19:45:32 * Morgan sighs, laying down and smelling the cloth Jun 20 19:46:29 *Unsurprisingly it smells good to him, of her, and her arousal, and her increasing. He hears nothing from her for ten minutes Jun 20 19:47:01 * Morgan sighs, getting the flannel and painting and setting about pleasuring himself Jun 20 19:47:47 *he’s quite close when she says* [I’m sorry, Emil is awake and feeding] Jun 20 19:48:19 [alright] Jun 20 19:48:51 [did you find what I left for you?] Jun 20 19:49:03 [I did... I was just... making use of it Jun 20 19:49:41 [mmhmm... I’ll leave you to that if you wish, and think fondly of it myself later.] Jun 20 19:51:11 [alright love] Jun 20 19:51:40 *she doesn’t interrupt him further* Jun 20 19:52:00 * Morgan carries on Jun 20 19:52:53 *he gets the required peace and privacy, helped along by the things she purposefully left out for him* Jun 20 19:54:34 * Morgan gets himself cleaned up afterwards Jun 20 19:55:56 *She isn’t even back when he’s finished that* Jun 20 19:56:14 [are you staying in there tonight?] Jun 20 19:56:34 [no, he’s just gone down, I’ll be done in a moment...] Jun 20 19:56:49 [alirght] Jun 20 19:56:57 * Varick is now known as Molly Jun 20 19:57:14 * Molly quietly comes in about a minute later Jun 20 19:57:19 I’m so sorry Jun 20 19:57:25 Its alright love Jun 20 19:57:53 * Molly starts to undress Jun 20 19:58:32 They will hopefully both sleep through now Jun 20 19:58:40 * Morgan nods, watching her Jun 20 19:59:09 * Molly gets into bed, gently kissing his cheek Jun 20 19:59:19 Are you ready to sleep, my love? Jun 20 19:59:35 * Morgan nods, yawning Jun 20 20:00:11 * Molly settles into the sheets “Goodnight, liebling” Jun 20 20:00:26 Goodnight my love Jun 20 20:01:26 * Molly says no more, and he feels himself rapidly falling asleep Jun 20 20:01:58 * Morgan doesn't fight it Jun 20 20:05:36 *He starts to dream, into the thread he’s been on. The light through the window in the tavern says it’s already dawn with he wakes with Mina in his arms. It’s hard to recall how long they’d made love for, but he’d fallen asleep spent and at ease. The flowery stockings hang haphazardly over a chair, her curls smell like honeysuckle under his chin* Jun 20 20:06:29 * Molly is now known as Mina Jun 20 20:08:39 Morgan, are you awake? Jun 20 20:09:39 Yes love Jun 20 20:10:36 Should we do something today? Jun 20 20:10:44 We should really Jun 20 20:11:12 I’m not sure I retain any more capacity for pleasure Jun 20 20:11:25 No? Jun 20 20:11:36 * Mina shakes her head Jun 20 20:11:58 I do not believe I have even the mildest of peaks left to hike Jun 20 20:12:31 * Morgan smiles Jun 20 20:12:36 You realise that sounds like a challenge? Jun 20 20:12:42 Does it? Jun 20 20:12:47 Little bit... Jun 20 20:14:01 I suppose one should always submit to one’s husband... *she smiles, her brown eyes fond and warm* Jun 20 20:14:31 * Morgan smiles Jun 20 20:14:46 If you are not wanting to, though... there is no pressure Jun 20 20:16:21 * Mina smiles “We can try that” Jun 20 20:16:57 * Morgan nods, kissing her gently Jun 20 20:17:11 *She kisses him the same. There’s a knocking on his and Mina’s door* Jun 20 20:17:19 * Morgan sighs Jun 20 20:17:21 Who is it? Jun 20 20:18:36 P: Petty Officer Ghant, Commander Koertig. Jun 20 20:19:12 Hang on Jun 20 20:19:28 * Morgan gets up, pulling his clothes on, speaking quietly Jun 20 20:19:32 I was expecting Mrs Danvers... Jun 20 20:20:16 * Mina smiles “You weren’t near the summit enough for her liking” Jun 20 20:20:40 * Morgan chuckles, making sure she's covered before moving to open the door Jun 20 20:23:05 *The young man looks very new, and more like Edward’s age than Morgan’s. He has two letters in his hands* Sorry to disturb you so early, Commander Jun 20 20:24:03 Was it your choice? Jun 20 20:24:14 * Mina is now known as Ghent Jun 20 20:24:28 No, Commander *he hands him a letter* Jun 20 20:24:33 * Morgan takes it Jun 20 20:24:49 Then you've nothing to be sorry for... who's the other letter for? Jun 20 20:25:14 For Colonel Fuchs, sir Jun 20 20:25:24 He's here?! Jun 20 20:28:08 No, sir, you have to take it to him Jun 20 20:28:31 Oh... right... *he opens his letter* Jun 20 20:31:50 *It says “Commander Koertig, it is requested that you return to Dorff immediately. You will be moving your unit with Colonel Fuchs’ to remove a target Vaticine unit. Further instructions will come from him. Command.” Jun 20 20:32:20 * Morgan sighs heavily, holding out his hand for the other letter Jun 20 20:32:23 alright Jun 20 20:33:33 * Ghent hands it over Jun 20 20:34:11 Thank you petty officer Jun 20 20:34:28 can I tell them you said you’ll go this morning? Jun 20 20:35:40 I'll be on the move as soon as I can Jun 20 20:37:09 * Ghent bows and leaves Jun 20 20:37:20 * Ghent is now known as Mina Jun 20 20:37:29 * Morgan closes the door, turning to look at Mina Jun 20 20:37:46 * Mina watches him sadly Jun 20 20:38:09 I'm so sorry my love Jun 20 20:38:25 You have a duty to do Jun 20 20:40:33 * Morgan nods looking unhappy Jun 20 20:40:35 yes... I do Jun 20 20:41:11 * Mina smiles “I think we might manage a quick hack up to the summit before our trip is concluded” Jun 20 20:41:21 * Morgan nods, smiling Jun 20 20:41:29 I'm happy to scale that peak Jun 20 20:44:12 * Mina nods. She pushes off the sheets and beckons him over. it doesn’t take long for them to have him from his clothes, and when they make love it’s so tender and full of meaning that he sees the bittersweet tears in her eyes at the erotic farewell, ascending and arriving at the pinnacle together. They cuddle a few minutes with whispered reminders of love before he has to get dressed to go. Jun 20 20:44:51 * Morgan pulls his clothes on, checking his kit bag before looking at her Jun 20 20:44:56 I'll miss you terribly Jun 20 20:45:35 I’ll miss you too. I am going to stay on here a few days as we planned. I might see if Edward and his friends would like to come here for dinner again Jun 20 20:46:05 * Morgan nods a little Jun 20 20:46:15 I think my brother has a crush on you... not that I blame him of course Jun 20 20:46:22 * Mina smiles Jun 20 20:47:10 He’ll get over it, that is what happens with crushes Jun 20 20:47:34 * Morgan nods, moving to her to kiss her gently Jun 20 20:47:45 I'll write as soon as I know whats going on Jun 20 20:48:27 * Mina embraces him “It is only two weeks until the full moon, I will be thinking of you as we arranged” Jun 20 20:48:43 * Morgan nods Jun 20 20:48:46 As will I my love Jun 20 20:49:01 Be safe, Morgan. I love you. Jun 20 20:49:31 * Morgan nods, kissing her forehead before quietly leaving the room Jun 20 20:50:15 *He gets an odd feeling when he closes the door that it’s going to be a very long time before he gets to see her again* Jun 20 20:50:50 * Morgan sighs very heavily before moving away from the door Jun 20 20:54:16 *he gets everything he needs, and the time passes in a blur as slowly he leaves her behind. He stays in cheap inns, eventually arriving in Dorff, several days before he was due back. It’s early evening, and the camp is already quite cold except for near the big fires Jun 20 20:55:04 * Morgan trudges into the camp, going looking for the colonel Jun 20 20:58:21 *Colonel Fuchs is found checking over some horses with the farrier* Jun 20 20:58:48 * Morgan waits fora moment before clearing his throat Jun 20 20:58:53 Excuse me Colonel... Jun 20 21:00:41 * Mina is now known as Fuchs Jun 20 21:00:46 * Fuchs moves to h8m Jun 20 21:00:55 Why are you back already? Jun 20 21:01:19 Ordered by command, Colonel... *he holds out the letter for Fuchs* Jun 20 21:03:42 * Fuchs takes it, opening it and reading. In the background, he can hear a woman’s laughter, likely a follower of the drum or even a local working girl Jun 20 21:05:09 * Morgan waits quietly Jun 20 21:05:52 * Fuchs nods slowly Jun 20 21:06:12 Firstly, my congratulations on your promotion Jun 20 21:06:43 Thank you Colonel Jun 20 21:07:54 * Fuchs nods Jun 20 21:08:00 it is well deserved Jun 20 21:08:23 I just did what needed to be done sir Jun 20 21:08:57 * Fuchs nods Jun 20 21:11:20 We will be moving out tomorrow. Your unit should be able to make the trip. We are headed south for Elthenhal, from there we will be infiltrating a town ten miles away. The town has been taken over by force by a Vaticine Navy unit Jun 20 21:11:40 Infiltrating sir? Jun 20 21:12:59 * Fuchs nods Jun 20 21:15:06 We need to pick someone suited to a bit of espionage. There has been a trail of villages being burned when the occupants wouldn’t convert, and Command suspects this is the latest. However, they’ve been here for weeks, and usually the destruction happens sooner. Jun 20 21:16:23 * Morgan frowns Jun 20 21:16:43 Somethings given them pause... or, at least, the commander... Jun 20 21:19:04 * Fuchs nods Jun 20 21:19:30 Command wants to know what that is Jun 20 21:21:35 * Morgan nods Jun 20 21:21:37 Yes sir Jun 20 21:23:13 * Fuchs nods Jun 20 21:23:29 I want you to think about whether that is a role that would interest you Jun 20 21:25:29 Espionage? Jun 20 21:26:55 On this mission, yes. In general I believe your aim is to be a Captain At Sea? Jun 20 21:27:36 * Morgan nods Jun 20 21:27:38 Yes sir Jun 20 21:29:26 * Fuchs nods Jun 20 21:30:44 We’ll be met in Elthenhal with greater detail from their reconnaissance. I’ll brief my men, I assume you’ll want to see yours yourself Jun 20 21:31:11 Might I ask some advice sir? Jun 20 21:33:00 * Fuchs smiles Jun 20 21:33:10 You may, as much as you wish Jun 20 21:33:20 How much should I tell them? Jun 20 21:36:33 That we are moving to another camp and we are likely to be there at least one week, with more instructions to follow when we get them Jun 20 21:37:28 I'll get my things stowed and talk to the men Jun 20 21:39:28 * Fuchs nods Jun 20 21:39:37 Make sure you eat Jun 20 21:39:52 * Morgan nods Jun 20 21:39:54 Yes sir Jun 20 21:41:44 * Fuchs nods, heading back towards the farrier before he looks back “Did you get to see her?” Jun 20 21:42:05 We got a night together sir Jun 20 21:44:14 * Fuchs nods, smiling “Good... good...” He continues on to the farrier Jun 20 21:44:55 * Morgan heads off to find a tente Jun 20 21:45:24 *His same tent is here where he left it* Jun 20 21:46:09 * Morgan stows his bag before going to find something to eat and see his men Jun 20 21:47:01 *As he’s stowing it he notices something in the side pocket he hadn’t noticed before* Jun 20 21:47:23 * Morgan frowns, taking it out Jun 20 21:47:42 *She’s somehow managed to sneak the flowery stockings in* Jun 20 21:48:46 * Morgan smiles, muttering ''you little minx', holding them to his lips for a moment before packing them again Jun 20 21:51:10 *there’s nothing else in there. He manages to find food, and his men are all up and able again after he’s been gone a week, all ten of them sat together. The brewer’s son is here again, hanging around and topping up tankards. He’s got to be the same age as Edward and his two friends who will probably have had Mina’s company each evening Jun 20 21:51:58 * Morgan pats his shoulder before sitting down Jun 20 21:53:31 *the men look pleased to see him, then one says* Hey! where’d you get those rank bands?! Jun 20 21:54:02 * Morgan glances around Jun 20 21:54:08 Pinched them from an admirals desk Jun 20 21:54:40 DeeDee: Uhhh are you allowed to do that, sir? Jun 20 21:55:14 I'm just joking... the admirals decided punching a wolf in the head is worthy of a promotion Jun 20 21:56:25 *There’s a cheer that starts up for Commander Wolfblood* Jun 20 21:57:21 * Morgan smiles, raising his hands Jun 20 21:57:42 The admirals... they've put me in command of a unit... Jun 20 21:57:58 man: which one? Jun 20 21:58:09 This one. Jun 20 21:59:12 *They all look pleased by this* Jun 20 21:59:23 Man: You might want a few more of us, sir Jun 20 21:59:40 * Morgan smiles Jun 20 22:00:22 We'll not be striking out just us for a while... the Colonel has a lot to teach me yet... I do, however, have my first set of orders to give you Jun 20 22:01:07 *they nod, and DeeDee gives him a tankard* Jun 20 22:02:05 Thank you, DeeDee... tomorrow morning we move out for another camp, where we'll be for at least a week Jun 20 22:02:38 Man: is it a battle? Jun 20 22:02:55 * Morgan shakes his head Jun 20 22:03:06 No, but we'll need to be ready just in case Jun 20 22:05:15 *The only one who looks disappointed about this is DeeDee* Jun 20 22:06:16 Man: I heard you might bump into your wife, sir Jun 20 22:06:48 I did, yes. I had planned to be away a few more days but... command had other plans Jun 20 22:07:18 *he hears someone murmur* cockblockers Jun 20 22:07:47 * Morgan shrugs a little Jun 20 22:07:58 The war doesn't stop just because I want to spend a few days with my wife Jun 20 22:10:29 *They start talking about the women they’ve left at home, mostly wives, some their sweethearts. It quickly moves on to ragging each other, which they seem happy to still include Morgan in. He wakes up in reality at the slightest movement of Molly getting back into bed* Jun 20 22:10:56 * Morgan yawns Jun 20 22:10:59 You alright love? Jun 20 22:11:05 * Fuchs is now known as Molly Jun 20 22:11:17 * Molly whispers “Sorry, I tried not to wake you” Jun 20 22:11:56 Its alright love... I suppose I'm just very aware of movement around me Jun 20 22:12:43 You didn’t feel me get up. It’s okay, go back to sleep liebling. I just didn’t want to disturb you Jun 20 22:23:08 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jun 20 22:25:27 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Jun 20 22:31:03 * mads (~mads@192.168.1.228) has joined Jun 20 22:31:20 * mads is now known as MorganK Jun 20 22:32:14 where were you? Jun 20 22:32:40 * Molly settles again “Just here, but sat in the chair by the fire” Jun 20 22:33:04 why? Jun 20 22:33:38 You weren’t the only one for whom the interruption was unpleasant and frustrating, my love... Jun 20 22:33:55 oh... I see... how long was I asleep? Jun 20 22:34:37 about two hours... I was hoping I could just fall asleep, but... well, you know. Jun 20 22:34:56 * MorganK nods Jun 20 22:34:58 sorry love Jun 20 22:36:17 It isn’t your fault, my love Jun 20 22:36:24 even so Jun 20 22:37:09 I hadn’t realised how much worse my need would be after encouraging you to... do that Jun 20 22:38:14 * MorganK blushes Jun 20 22:38:22 its not something I would normally have done... Jun 20 22:39:11 no... but you couldn’t be sure I would be back Jun 20 22:39:28 no... Jun 20 22:39:52 * Molly cuddles up Jun 20 22:40:01 that was not all of it? Jun 20 22:40:48 I just... its not common for me, its left me feeling a little... I don't know, like I've done something I shouldn't have Jun 20 22:41:00 * Molly holds him tightly Jun 20 22:41:27 Oh my love, you do not need to. You feel you have wronged me? Jun 20 22:41:47 yes... I suppose I do Jun 20 22:42:09 But you didn’t feel this when you did it whilst we spoke with the mirrors? Jun 20 22:42:34 no.. I dont think so Jun 20 22:42:57 * Molly nods Jun 20 22:43:24 You really needn’t feel bad, my love. You needed release, as you’d already said Jun 20 22:43:34 * MorganK nods Jun 20 22:43:41 but normally i wouldve just... endured Jun 20 22:43:58 what made you not do so? Jun 20 22:44:50 I don't know really Jun 20 22:47:49 perhaps because I’d given you the things to do so? we know those pink cloths are effective whilst I am increasing Jun 20 22:49:00 * MorganK nods, yawning Jun 20 22:49:02 that is true Jun 20 22:50:48 * Molly nods “I have no trouble with it, my love. I found it very arousing to know you’d wanted and needed me so much that you’d done so because you couldn’t wait any longer” Jun 20 22:50:55 * MorganK nods Jun 20 22:50:57 okay Jun 20 22:52:06 * Molly shifts to gently kiss his cheek “If it eases you at all, I held your cream flannel as I did the same for myself” Jun 20 22:52:36 really? Jun 20 22:53:17 * Molly nods, snuggling into him “You are surely by now aware this is something I find arousing!” Jun 20 22:53:44 it still comes as a surprise I think Jun 20 22:54:07 A pleasant one though? Jun 20 22:54:36 * MorganK nods Jun 20 22:54:38 of course Jun 20 22:55:25 * Molly nods “So that was why I was up, and despite my best efforts to be quiet enough not to wake you, I have done so anyway” Jun 20 22:55:52 * MorganK shrugs, yawning Jun 20 22:55:54 its alright Jun 20 22:56:33 I am settled and relaxed enough to sleep now. You are still satisfied and not in need now? Jun 20 22:57:15 * MorganK nods Jun 20 22:57:19 I'm alright Jun 20 22:58:09 * Molly nods. She sounds a little amused when she says “But when you wake up in a few hours and recall what I have told you, you might have more of an issue on your hands, hmm?” Jun 20 22:58:21 * MorganK nods Jun 20 22:58:23 I may well Jun 20 22:59:02 * Molly kisses his chest where her head rests “I will let you sleep now, my darling” Jun 20 22:59:14 goodnight love Jun 20 22:59:37 * Molly seems to settle very quickly in his arms Jun 20 23:00:08 * MorganK tries to go back to slee Jun 20 23:05:15 *He manages this, and goes further ahead in the wolfblood thread. It hadn’t taken long to get to Elthenhal, and the men there to brief them in this town confirmed what Fuchs said; a Vaticine Navy unit suspected of burning villages and villagers that couldn’t be forcibly converted. The village of Unsensollen is a tiny place, a farming community that had originally converted by a public vote in Luther’s time, so small that their Freiarr hadn’t been inte Jun 20 23:07:21 The plan is that someone will need to go in in disguise, and live there until the information can be gathered about -why- the village is still occupied. It’s dangerous, and will require him to fit in with common folk. tHey’ve been briefed of all this when Fuchs pulls him aside Jun 20 23:07:26 * Molly is now known as Fuchs Jun 20 23:07:42 What are your thoughts on this? Jun 20 23:08:53 risky, sir. Going to be tough for anyone to fit in... Jun 20 23:09:17 Do you have anyone in your unit that you feel is able to do this? Jun 20 23:10:41 I think... it would be best if I volunteered sir Jun 20 23:11:06 Can you speak in a rural accent? Jun 20 23:12:03 Sir, I can pinpoint the accent to within about ten miles... I think it needs to be different enough to flag me as someone who doesn't live here, but not a complete outsider. Jun 20 23:12:32 That’s right. Too nearby and you would have mutual acquaintances Jun 20 23:12:58 * MorganK nods Jun 20 23:13:16 too easily outed if I tried to claim I was a member of the village, too. Jun 20 23:13:37 Yes. Why would you not be in service? Jun 20 23:14:23 * MorganK sniffs loudly Jun 20 23:15:23 m'father, sir, he got hisself hurt and the farm, well it don' run itself, so I do the labourin' while 'e looks after't books Jun 20 23:15:34 * Fuchs smiles Jun 20 23:15:55 Alright... why are you in Unsensollen? Jun 20 23:16:37 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jun 20 23:17:55 'eard there was troops 'n figured they might be int'rested in buying supplies... we got a good deal wit' local tanner, we c'n supply good quality coats and cloaks for't fraction of't traders prices... Jun 20 23:18:10 * Fuchs nods Jun 20 23:18:16 where are your wares? Jun 20 23:18:56 * MorganK looks sheepish Jun 20 23:20:31 well, see, tha's the problem, right enough... couple'a miles out, see, duncan, tha's my donkey, see, he gets spooked and took off like... well, like a spooked ass, sir Jun 20 23:20:42 * Fuchs laughs Jun 20 23:21:34 So you thought you’d continue on to the village without them? Are you there for a little sly drinking and wenching with your father’s money? Jun 20 23:23:17 don' make no sense to get so close n then turn back, when I could be askin' fer interest, see, since I was most of the way there anyway... and I spect the troops, well, they'll prolly be in the tavern, so makes sense to go where't business is, my old dad says Jun 20 23:23:26 * MorganK sniffs Jun 20 23:23:43 and no point chasing duncan, e's got twice the legs I have so I'm not catching him Jun 20 23:23:51 * Fuchs laughs Jun 20 23:24:15 Yes, I imagine Duncan is something else’s dinner by now... Jun 20 23:24:37 * MorganK nods, looking a little forlorn Jun 20 23:25:07 he wasn' a bad donkey, sir... just... well, you could train a couple of planks of wood better... Jun 20 23:25:19 * Fuchs smiles Jun 20 23:25:49 Alright. The wedding ring will need to come off Jun 20 23:26:01 * MorganK nods, sighing Jun 20 23:26:41 I'll pack it away, sir, with my things here. I'll need... an old hat, a decent but patched coat and some knackered boots Jun 20 23:26:57 * Fuchs nods Jun 20 23:27:41 Easily found. The brothel may be a necessary evil if you can get no information elsewhere Jun 20 23:28:15 got a plan for that Jun 20 23:28:20 Yes? Jun 20 23:28:49 * MorganK glances around to check noones paying attention before looking decidedly shy and bashful Jun 20 23:29:03 * Fuchs watches him, but no one else is Jun 20 23:30:52 my old ma, may she rest, she was fearsome stric' when it come to matters of the marital, and I promised her, see, on pain of't belt, that I shan't go a girls bed if'n I ain't put some vows to 'er... Jun 20 23:31:54 * Fuchs chuckles, shaking his head “I think we’ve missed a trick keeping you out of espionage... alright, so why are you in the brothel?” Jun 20 23:32:13 * MorganK shrugs, one shoulder moving more than the other Jun 20 23:32:21 chickens follow the feed Jun 20 23:32:34 * Fuchs looks perplexed Jun 20 23:32:36 what? Jun 20 23:33:11 They go where the feed is... I'm looking to sell, I go where the trade might be Jun 20 23:33:38 * Fuchs nods Jun 20 23:33:54 What about getting information from the working girls? Jun 20 23:34:41 ah, well... I imagine if their affections can be bought, their ears can be too Jun 20 23:35:02 without raising suspicions? Jun 20 23:35:45 so, I'll change tack a bit... maybe I'll spend some time with them just talking... Jun 20 23:35:53 * Fuchs nods Jun 20 23:37:03 in a pinch, in similar situations, I have told them I like to watch, and then pretend to have had an unfortunate early arrival without undoing my placket at all Jun 20 23:37:28 * MorganK nods slowly Jun 20 23:37:33 duly noted sir Jun 20 23:38:09 that goes no further *he smiles* I do not want a nickname about it Jun 20 23:38:51 Are you sure? My men are quite creative... Jun 20 23:39:36 Thank you, but given what my surname sounds like in Avalonian, I’ll pass. Jun 20 23:40:05 I didn't like to mention that sir... I've been rather dreading telling my mother about you Jun 20 23:40:15 * Fuchs laughs Jun 20 23:41:20 fortunately few speak it, and maybe she will be too well-bred to see it Jun 20 23:42:34 I would think so sir. How long do you think I'll need to be there? Jun 20 23:43:42 it’s a shifting situation, it could be just a day or two depending on what you discover and whether they torch the village Jun 20 23:44:02 And my orders if they do? Jun 20 23:44:44 prevent as many innocent deaths as you can, these men must be stopped Jun 20 23:44:57 If I get chance to take out their commander? Jun 20 23:45:17 capture if you can, but if not, yes Jun 20 23:45:27 understood sir Jun 20 23:46:15 I want to know if this delay is a new tactic, or if it’s something specific to this village Jun 20 23:46:40 * MorganK nods Jun 20 23:46:43 I'll do my best sir Jun 20 23:47:05 * MorganK has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
