**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jun 24 18:35:40 2024 Jun 24 18:35:40 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Jun 24 18:37:26 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Jun 24 18:38:13 Just a bit of clove hitching here and there, and she’s good to go Jun 24 18:38:13 * Morgan shrugs Jun 24 18:38:13 Bit risky I'd have reckoned Jun 24 18:38:13 *Molly suddenly opens the sash window right up, as far as it’ll go Jun 24 18:38:13 * HH watches her, smirking a little Jun 24 18:38:14 Yeah, need it really good and secure... any better ideas? Jun 24 18:38:16 *Inga glances at Morgan, smiling* Jun 24 18:38:18 Ppfff, don't be daft Jun 24 18:38:20 I: Molly, are you getting a bit hot? Jun 24 18:38:22 * HH tries so very hard not to laugh, avoiding Morgan’s gaze a minute Jun 24 18:38:24 M: I... uhh... it’s a bit warm in here. Jun 24 18:38:26 *Inga is smiling, still watching Morgan Jun 24 18:38:30 Small room for so many people Jun 24 18:38:32 Yeah, we’ve had to jam in a bit Jun 24 18:38:34 *Molly squares her shoulders a little to find her composure* Jun 24 18:38:36 I: It is quiet tight! Jun 24 18:38:38 quite* Jun 24 18:38:40 * Morgan smiles a little, looking at the window Jun 24 18:38:42 * HH grins at Inga Jun 24 18:39:10 * Morgan just stares at the wall Jun 24 18:41:10 I’m ready to go to the village, are you all joining us? Jun 24 18:41:29 *Inga nods* Yes, that’d be nice Jun 24 18:41:52 *They go downstairs, but HH catches his arm Jun 24 18:41:55 * Molly is now known as HH Jun 24 18:41:58 you good? Jun 24 18:42:17 Hard to be... Jun 24 18:43:48 dream stuff or wife stuff? Jun 24 18:44:06 Wife stuff -now- Jun 24 18:44:43 * HH nods Jun 24 18:45:06 I reckon that’s the worst sorta stuff. You wanna borrow mine for a bit? Jun 24 18:46:33 What for? She won't tell me anything Jun 24 18:47:38 Mebbie Jun 24 18:49:05 * Morgan sighs Jun 24 18:49:14 I -really- thought we were past all that Jun 24 18:50:11 You heard her though, Stef reckoned being knocked up might make her a bit odd Jun 24 18:51:13 Yeah, I suppose so Jun 24 18:52:06 Summat unsettled her? Jun 24 18:52:22 I dunno... Jun 24 18:52:54 Yer mind is elsewhere with the nightmares, right? Jun 24 18:53:25 It is this morning yeah Jun 24 18:55:24 * HH nods Jun 24 18:56:00 She’s a big girl, man, mebbie just give it time to blow over? Jun 24 18:56:15 Maybe Jun 24 18:56:51 * HH pats his shoulder “best get off” Jun 24 18:57:07 * Morgan nods Jun 24 18:57:08 aye Jun 24 18:59:28 * HH heads down where he helps the ladies into their cloaks, and they set off for the village. Ruth looks most excited by it, and Molly has removed her cloak again My the time they’re half way there Jun 24 18:59:43 * Morgan moves beside her, taking her hand Jun 24 19:01:45 * HH is now known as Molly Jun 24 19:02:02 * Molly smiles, squeezing his Jun 24 19:02:26 I thought we might go to the market first, before visiting that family... Jun 24 19:02:34 * Morgan nods Jun 24 19:02:36 If you like Jun 24 19:03:50 * Molly nods Jun 24 19:04:00 Would you wish to go to the church alone? Jun 24 19:04:17 * Morgan shrugs Jun 24 19:04:20 It won't take long Jun 24 19:05:45 * Molly nods Jun 24 19:06:21 I will come with you then, it’ll be on the way Jun 24 19:06:34 * Morgan nods Jun 24 19:06:35 Alright Jun 24 19:07:50 * Molly smiles, just walking beside him. Ruth and Emmilene chat away at Heinzharold and Inga as they all make their way to the square Jun 24 19:08:11 I’m hoping to see signs that our people here are faring well Jun 24 19:08:27 I -really- hope so Jun 24 19:11:04 Me too. habit if they aren’t, we’ll just keeping trying to make it better Jun 24 19:11:20 * Morgan nods Jun 24 19:11:32 Yes, we will... we're close by now so its not so difficult Jun 24 19:13:19 * Molly nods, smiling Jun 24 19:13:55 It’s only one day here, then another to Koln. We can keep a much closer eye on things. It is only a pity I cannot ride Jun 24 19:14:09 * Morgan nods Jun 24 19:14:20 I'm sorry but I'm not comfortable with that risk Jun 24 19:15:00 * Molly nods Jun 24 19:15:27 I understand. I do believe I am a good enough rider, but this is important to you Jun 24 19:16:10 Its not your skill that is the issue... if the horse gets spooked... hell, even I've been thrown a few times Jun 24 19:16:48 * Molly nods Jun 24 19:17:26 I never have, but again, I know you would struggle to forgive me if it happened and you’d already said no to it Jun 24 19:18:54 * Morgan frowns Jun 24 19:19:07 I'd be more upset that my wishes meant so little Jun 24 19:19:16 * Molly nods Jun 24 19:19:26 I won’t be doing any riding, I promise Jun 24 19:19:37 * Morgan nods Jun 24 19:19:38 Thank you Jun 24 19:21:25 * Molly nods, looking around as they get to the market place. Their friends all seem to have broken off in little groups or couples, and lots of the villagers are here. He sees Varick and Jacques over with Hildegarde, Rickon, and Heinrich. Unlike Molly, she isn’t dressed to hide her bump Jun 24 19:25:22 * Morgan watches them for a moment before sighing Jun 24 19:27:37 * Molly glances at him Jun 24 19:27:53 they look happy Jun 24 19:28:02 Hey do Jun 24 19:28:24 why do you sigh? Jun 24 19:28:43 Because I wish we could be like that, not hiding it... Jun 24 19:29:36 we will as soon as you’ve told Sascha and Otto? Jun 24 19:29:52 * Morgan nods Jun 24 19:29:55 Yes, I think so Jun 24 19:31:54 I’d like that Jun 24 19:32:06 * Morgan nods Jun 24 19:32:07 Me too Jun 24 19:33:21 * Molly looks around at the stalls Jun 24 19:33:51 Alright, my love, I am going to buy what I need to make dinner Jun 24 19:34:00 You're sure you want to cook? Jun 24 19:36:47 * Molly nods “Unless you think I should not?” Jun 24 19:36:54 * Morgan shrugs Jun 24 19:37:03 Just not sure I understand why you suddenly wish to Jun 24 19:39:43 It’s only one night, and I miss doing those sort of things sometimes. I’ve never even cooked for Emil, and he has been with us for months Jun 24 19:39:53 * Morgan nods Jun 24 19:39:55 Alright love Jun 24 19:42:00 * Molly squeezes gently Jun 24 19:42:25 I won’t be so much that you cannot join me if you want or need to Jun 24 19:42:33 * Morgan nods Jun 24 19:42:43 Do we need to talk about whats bothering you? Jun 24 19:44:04 * Molly looks caught off guard “nothing is bothering me, my love, just a little nosiness that doesn’t matter” Jun 24 19:44:37 If you're sure... Jun 24 19:44:53 * Molly nods, smiling “I am” Jun 24 19:45:17 * Morgan nods Jun 24 19:45:19 alright Jun 24 19:46:11 * Molly nods, kissing his cheek before heading off towards a butchers stall Jun 24 19:46:55 * Morgan stands still, looking around Jun 24 19:48:45 *He sees Claudia smiling as Uinise is admiring vegetables excitedly at a stall. Edward has Mina on his arm, and is looking at flowers with her. There’s a lot of people here, and the atmosphere is relaxed Jun 24 19:51:57 * Morgan looks around at the villagers Jun 24 19:52:54 *He’s vaguely familiar with almost all of them* Jun 24 19:54:13 * Morgan smiles a little, going to buy an apple Jun 24 19:56:49 *the woman on the stall seems very happy to be selling to him, and Inga comes up beside him* Jun 24 19:56:52 * Molly is now known as Inga Jun 24 19:57:08 Wow, that’s so big and red! Jun 24 19:57:31 * Morgan nods, smiling Jun 24 19:57:39 I reckon its gonn' taste wonderful Jun 24 19:59:42 * Inga nods, buying me herself and then sticking by his side until they’re away from the stall. Then she giggles Jun 24 19:59:49 Heinzharold dared me to Jun 24 20:00:01 * Morgan nods Jun 24 20:00:13 figures... the proper response was of course thats what she said Jun 24 20:02:11 * Inga nods, biting the apple Jun 24 20:02:45 * Morgan does likewise, chewing for a moment Jun 24 20:04:49 * Inga eats quietly, watching Molly talking with the butcher. He notices how she subconsciously touches her belly Jun 24 20:05:23 love... you're gonn give yourself away... Jun 24 20:09:04 * Inga moves her hand Jun 24 20:09:11 I can’t help it Jun 24 20:09:19 * Morgan nods Jun 24 20:09:28 I know. Jun 24 20:10:41 I don’t know how Molly manages not to! Jun 24 20:11:16 Conscious effort I think Jun 24 20:12:21 it probably saves you some blushing too? Jun 24 20:14:04 Not especially, no... the knowledge is there... Jun 24 20:15:33 * Inga nods, eating some more apple as she watches her friend Jun 24 20:15:51 I think she’ll be really glad when it’s not such a secret Jun 24 20:16:02 * Morgan nods Jun 24 20:16:21 We told the staff at Hafenlohr... she spent the day in a dress that really shows it off Jun 24 20:19:53 * Inga smiles “I remember her buying two like that in Freiburg and how excited she was that they’d be so fitted” Jun 24 20:20:06 * Morgan nods Jun 24 20:20:26 I don't suppose you'd like to tell me whats bothering her? Jun 24 20:22:10 I don’t think she’s really -bothered- as such Jun 24 20:22:25 No? Jun 24 20:23:27 Personally I think she’s just being a bit nosey and curious, but I don’t want her comparing herself Jun 24 20:23:36 To... Jun 24 20:23:45 * Inga looks at him Jun 24 20:24:14 To Dietlinde, and how things were when -she- was pregnant Jun 24 20:24:39 I see Jun 24 20:26:58 I don’t think she was worrying, but I have said to maybe just mind her business. There’s no need for everyone to know every little thing from before they came along Jun 24 20:27:47 * Morgan nods Jun 24 20:27:52 I think you're probably right Jun 24 20:29:17 * Inga nods Jun 24 20:30:40 I think maybe it’s because she didn’t have any experience before you that she doesn’t get that? Or that she knows Heinzharold and I have talked about it all. I don’t know. I thought you two were just asking each other anything and everything without hesitation now Jun 24 20:32:00 So did I Jun 24 20:33:19 * Inga eats some more apple Jun 24 20:33:36 I don’t understand it really Jun 24 20:34:17 No... nor do I Jun 24 20:37:55 * Inga sighs “sometimes I think maybe it’s that she’s hoping to hit on something really special and novel, you know? Like she’ll work out something new that will make you really happy” Jun 24 20:38:26 But she doesn't -need- to be doing that Jun 24 20:38:58 I know. But you know how she can be Jun 24 20:40:22 * Morgan nods, sighing Jun 24 20:42:51 I worry about that with her sometimes. It’s not just with you in the bedroom. It’s like the sliding rents here, being a duchess, the trade deal in Capperlucia... like she’s always trying to -excel- or prove her worth Jun 24 20:43:17 yeah... I think perhaps that goes back to her parents Jun 24 20:44:45 * Inga nods Jun 24 20:45:22 You could be right Jun 24 20:45:38 * Morgan nods Jun 24 20:46:13 that’s not an ideal way to be if people are relying on you though Jun 24 20:46:36 No... you need to be -steady- Jun 24 20:46:59 * Inga nods “And she’s more like the sea...” Jun 24 20:49:15 * Morgan nods Jun 24 20:49:16 I suppose so Jun 24 20:49:47 * Inga says quite nonchalantly Jun 24 20:50:00 Do you listen in on us often? Jun 24 20:50:26 Its not that I try... Jun 24 20:52:48 but you don’t avoid it if you hear it? Jun 24 20:54:18 Spend my days avoiding going anywhere? Oh, can't go upstairs, they might be talking... look... *he looks around to find someone who would be near the limit of his hearing before nodding toward them* see them? Can you hear them? Jun 24 20:54:37 * Inga looks Jun 24 20:54:41 not at all Jun 24 20:54:47 * Morgan nods Jun 24 20:55:21 She's telling him that they've only got two sausages left for the morning, and if he wants meat tonight he'll need to see what they can afford from the butcher... Jun 24 20:56:00 * Inga nods Jun 24 20:56:25 But if they were talking about something really private, wouldn’t you try not to listen? Jun 24 20:56:40 Well, yeah... Jun 24 20:57:21 * Inga nods Jun 24 20:57:37 But you find that difficult when it between me and Molly? Jun 24 20:57:57 * Morgan sighs Jun 24 20:58:01 Alright, you've made your point Jun 24 20:59:31 I’m not angry with you, it’s just that I’m sure there’s times you wouldn’t want Molly hearing what you say to your friends in confidence Jun 24 21:01:13 * Morgan frowns Jun 24 21:01:16 No... Jun 24 21:02:04 * Inga nods, eating some more apple Jun 24 21:05:18 *He spots HH surreptitiously watching them* $you okay, man?$ Jun 24 21:05:28 $Think I'm getting told off Jun 24 21:05:49 $if you’re not sure, you’re probably not!$ Jun 24 21:06:36 $Maybe$ Jun 24 21:07:36 I wasn’t trying to hurt Heinzharold last night. I know you think I’m a savage, but it’s not like that Jun 24 21:07:50 * Morgan looks at her Jun 24 21:08:27 Oh love... no, I don't really think that at all... I was... making fun of you I suppose, but I hadn't intended to be unkind Jun 24 21:08:35 * Inga nods Jun 24 21:09:03 I just don’t want it looking like I don’t love him or take good care of him Jun 24 21:09:47 * Morgan hugs her firmly Jun 24 21:10:07 No-one ever thinks that... sometimes the sensations are just overwhelming and you have to do -something-, right? Jun 24 21:10:15 * Inga nods Jun 24 21:11:57 It’s like I have to show him how it feels, and keep him as close to me as I can. It’s like I just need to possess him sometimes. Jun 24 21:12:27 * Morgan nods, letting her go Jun 24 21:12:58 I was trying to be playful... I'm sorry I made you think I thought you are a savage or don't love him Jun 24 21:13:47 I’m just a bit sensitive about it, I find it difficult to see what I’ve done to him Jun 24 21:15:46 You do realise he wears it like a badge of honour, right? Jun 24 21:15:52 God knows I would Jun 24 21:16:12 * Inga blushes Jun 24 21:16:25 do you think so? Jun 24 21:17:05 Oh yes... its proof that he made you feel so good you couldn't stop yourself, you had to mark him... Jun 24 21:17:11 HH is smirking: $you flirting with my wife?$ Jun 24 21:17:31 $Don't think so... we're talking about you$ Jun 24 21:17:37 * Inga smiles bashfully “he does, all the time” Jun 24 21:18:07 * Morgan nods Jun 24 21:18:58 Trust me, he absolutely loves having those marks... Jun 24 21:20:15 * Inga smiles, shrugging shyly “if you think so...” Jun 24 21:20:44 HH: $looks like you’re warming her up for Quiet Hour for me!$ Jun 24 21:21:04 I really do Jun 24 21:23:39 * Inga smiles Jun 24 21:23:49 thank you Jun 24 21:25:10 * Morgan nods, biting the apple Jun 24 21:26:36 what will you do about Molly? Jun 24 21:26:54 I don't know... feel a little like whatever I do will be wrong Jun 24 21:27:23 * Inga nods Jun 24 21:27:32 I want to help Jun 24 21:28:46 I think just being there for her will help... though I do wonder if you telling her she has to stop trying to prove herself all the time would be better Jun 24 21:30:00 Do you think I should be more blunt? Jun 24 21:30:15 maybe... I don't know Jun 24 21:30:46 I could try it, if you like Jun 24 21:31:13 Just... do what you think is best, love. Jun 24 21:32:08 * Inga nods Jun 24 21:33:50 I’ll tell her that I think she’s only going to disrupt the amazing progress you’ve both made by trying to pry like that Jun 24 21:34:30 * Morgan nods Jun 24 21:34:32 Alright love Jun 24 21:37:07 * Inga nods “You have done really well, but I really think it’s time you both let go of how things were before Jun 24 21:37:32 I don't really think its me holding onto it... Jun 24 21:39:39 * Inga nods Jun 24 21:40:19 You seem to b-... That’s what she said! *she grins excitedly* Jun 24 21:40:39 * Morgan laughs Jun 24 21:40:49 You were about to say? Jun 24 21:41:52 You seem to be all in this with Molly now Jun 24 21:42:08 * Morgan nods Jun 24 21:42:10 Of course Jun 24 21:43:54 * Inga nods Jun 24 21:44:01 it’s good Jun 24 21:44:15 * Morgan nods Jun 24 21:44:19 I thought so, aye Jun 24 21:46:58 * Inga eats some more apple before smiling “Maybe she’s not as good at that as I thought...” Molly has her cloak over her arm between her bump and her hand, but to those in the know she’s definitely touching it Jun 24 21:47:30 I think seeing Hildegarde has made that more difficult... Jun 24 21:49:10 * Inga nods Jun 24 21:49:28 I can’t wait to go around like that where everyone can see it Jun 24 21:49:37 * Morgan nods, smiling Jun 24 21:49:40 I'm looking forward to it Jun 24 21:51:17 * Inga smiles Jun 24 21:51:41 Will you be disappearing off together a lot then? Jun 24 21:52:35 What, when you're able to show it? Jun 24 21:53:06 I thought you meant Molly Jun 24 21:53:32 * Morgan shakes his head Jun 24 21:53:47 We do a fair bit of disappearing off but it will only get worse... Jun 24 21:54:03 when will it be the worst? Jun 24 21:54:48 * Morgan shrugs Jun 24 21:54:57 Its pretty much constant now Jun 24 21:56:04 * Inga giggles Jun 24 21:56:38 maybe someone here sells longer shirts and waistcoats... Jun 24 21:57:05 * Morgan nods Jun 24 21:57:08 Might be an idea Jun 24 21:57:58 I still think it’s sweet Jun 24 21:59:40 Its a nuisance Jun 24 21:59:45 why? Jun 24 22:00:49 Its just a constant thing now... being near her makes it worse, being able to smell it... Jun 24 22:01:28 * Inga glances at him Jun 24 22:01:40 ... talking about it...? Jun 24 22:02:22 * Morgan blushes, nodding a little Jun 24 22:03:08 * Inga whispers “Heinzharold is watching us” Jun 24 22:04:14 He was a little while ago too Jun 24 22:05:37 * Inga nods, smiling “Unfortunately you can’t really be ‘making hay while the sun shines’ at the market” Jun 24 22:06:26 No, not really... though you'd be surprised... my nightmare, though, has dampened my spirits some Jun 24 22:07:15 That’s a shame, but then she does seem like she’ll be busy today anyway Jun 24 22:07:33 * Morgan nods Jun 24 22:07:45 Planned activities right through quiet hour... she wants to cook tonight Jun 24 22:08:44 That wouldn’t stop Heinzharold at all! He’d just make sure I wouldn’t get burned, and then get down to business Jun 24 22:08:54 Really? Jun 24 22:09:01 * Inga smiles Jun 24 22:09:45 Mixing and stirring can wait, but he’s say his desire for me couldn’t Jun 24 22:12:14 * Morgan nods Jun 24 22:12:16 smooth Jun 24 22:13:38 * Inga nods Jun 24 22:13:53 But now you’ll never want to eat at our house again? Jun 24 22:14:05 * Morgan snorts Jun 24 22:14:30 I think we're long past being bothered by thought of the two of you having sex... especially with how often you show me your bite marks... Jun 24 22:14:56 * Inga giggles Jun 24 22:15:59 I don’t mind them when they’re on me, but it is frustrating after that night we had in the tavern that was also a brothel in Freiburg where I could just be my Jun 24 22:16:05 myself* Jun 24 22:16:28 * Morgan nods Jun 24 22:16:56 Once your house is ready, you can be as loud as you want... until the little one arrives Jun 24 22:17:30 Molly said she’ll watch him or her for a few hours at a time so we can... Jun 24 22:18:22 Bang like a barn door in the wind? Jun 24 22:19:01 * Inga nods Jun 24 22:19:14 That would be nice Jun 24 22:19:29 * Morgan nods Jun 24 22:19:59 We'll make sure to arrange many play dates Jun 24 22:20:07 * Inga smiles Jun 24 22:20:19 You’ll have calmed right down by then anyway Jun 24 22:21:07 Wasn't -that- calm to begin with Jun 24 22:21:41 That’s good Jun 24 22:21:50 * Morgan nods Jun 24 22:21:52 I suppose it is Jun 24 22:22:18 I think that suits you both Jun 24 22:22:25 * Morgan nods Jun 24 22:22:32 Yeah, you're probably right Jun 24 22:23:24 * Inga finishes her apple Jun 24 22:23:39 I’m going to try to talk to Molly Jun 24 22:23:48 * Morgan nods Jun 24 22:23:49 Alright love Jun 24 22:24:22 I’ll tell her you were getting all hot and bothered talking about her. Jun 24 22:25:16 * Morgan nods Jun 24 22:25:21 If you want to... Jun 24 22:26:14 I think she’d like that Jun 24 22:26:19 * Morgan nods Jun 24 22:26:22 Then by all means... Jun 24 22:28:11 * Inga nods, smiling “It was nice talking to you” Jun 24 22:28:43 * Morgan nods, smiling Jun 24 22:28:45 Likewise love Jun 24 22:29:29 * Inga goes, making a beeline for Molly Jun 24 22:51:11 * Inga has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jun 24 23:30:05 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
