Jun 25 17:53:18 * Morgan snorts Jun 25 17:53:18 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 25 17:53:18 * Inga giggles Jun 25 17:53:18 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 25 17:53:23 myself* Jun 25 17:53:25 * Morgan nods Jun 25 17:53:27 Once your house is ready, you can be as loud as you want... until the little one arrives Jun 25 17:53:29 Molly said she’ll watch him or her for a few hours at a time so we can...

Jun 25 17:54:23 * Inga nods, smiling “It was nice talking to you” Jun 25 17:54:25 * Morgan nods, smiling Jun 25 17:54:27 Likewise love Jun 25 17:54:29 * Inga goes, making a beeline for Molly Jun 25 17:56:53 HH gestures: $finished telling you off?$ Jun 25 17:57:54 $I think so$ Jun 25 17:58:19 HH: $what were you in trouble for?$ Jun 25 17:58:29 $eavesdropping$ Jun 25 17:58:58 HH smirks: $she forgets that’s how we helped in the War$ Jun 25 17:59:17 $Apparently so$ Jun 25 18:01:37 * Molly smiles when Inga gets to her and starts whispering. Then she suddenly blushes, looking surprised Jun 25 18:01:50 * Morgan raises an eyebrow Jun 25 18:01:58 HH: $my wife flirting with yours now?!$ Jun 25 18:02:07 $It does sort of look that way$ Jun 25 18:06:19 *Someone interrupts them, one of the villagers, and Molly nods, smiling before leading her to where Alice is holding Emil, and takes her baby back to show him off proudly* Jun 25 18:07:04 * Morgan smiles, watching Jun 25 18:08:34 *The woman and other villagers gather around. She’s given Inga her cloak, and he can see how the way she holds Emil on her hip rests his shin right against her growing bump Jun 25 18:12:37 Oh, they're gonn' figure that out Jun 25 18:14:47 * Molly is so busy chatting about Emil that she doesn’t notice Inga going over to HH and them chatting fondly and closely, his arm around her waist Jun 25 18:18:41 *He sees a couple of men he helped during the summer when they were here on honeymoon, he’d been barn-building with them Jun 25 18:19:21 * Morgan heads toward them, eating his apple Jun 25 18:22:12 * Molly is now known as Man Jun 25 18:22:23 * Man and his companion see him and bow Jun 25 18:22:30 * Morgan smiles Jun 25 18:22:39 Gentlemen... how are you both? Jun 25 18:29:35 good, Milord, thank you Jun 25 18:29:56 * Morgan nods Jun 25 18:30:18 Now... the barn I helped with... is the part of it I did still standing or did a moderate breeze blow it down? Jun 25 18:31:36 * Man and the other man laugh Jun 25 18:31:49 She’s all good, milord Jun 25 18:32:10 * Morgan smiles broadly Jun 25 18:32:16 Thats good. Jun 25 18:32:50 *other man grins* she only leaks a little... Jun 25 18:33:01 * Morgan laughs Jun 25 18:33:12 Thank god the ship I helped build doesn't Jun 25 18:33:49 hard work is ship building f’ sure Jun 25 18:34:13 * Morgan nods Jun 25 18:34:32 Came as quite the surprise to my brother... not so much as it did the nobles who helped dig trenches before my wedding though Jun 25 18:35:06 *both look astounded* how did that come about? Jun 25 18:36:18 Oh... umm... when we returned to Eisen, there were bandits on the outskirts of Sudlachenburg... we went to drive them out and round them up and it turned out they'd been hiding so long they had no idea the war had ended... can you imagine that? Jun 25 18:36:49 *both shake their heads* Jun 25 18:36:57 * Morgan nods Jun 25 18:37:53 My father and I decided it would be right for them to have a home, not wandering anymore, so work started on quite a few new houses. Didn't want them feeling it was temporary though, so we went with brother stone buildings, rather than timber, which are, as I'm sure you know, slower to build Jun 25 18:38:57 *they nod again. he sees Molly with many other women with babies in arms, looking very happy* Jun 25 18:39:10 * Morgan smiles a little Jun 25 18:40:50 We had a good number of noble guests to our wedding and I was out showing them around, explaining the expansion plans... the foreman was looking stressed, and it turned out a big storm was coming, which'd swamp the trenches and make getting the foundations in impossible, so I worked on persuading a few that it would be the right thing for us to do to all roll up our sleeves, and show the newcomers that our care for them doesn't stop when it becomes inconvenie Jun 25 18:40:50 nt Jun 25 18:41:27 they did it?! Jun 25 18:41:36 * Morgan nods Jun 25 18:41:54 To be fair, its hard to refuse when your Eisenfurst gets down in the mud and starts working... Jun 25 18:42:11 *they nod* Jun 25 18:42:31 We got a better one than most Jun 25 18:42:38 * Morgan nods Jun 25 18:43:00 He's a good man... he just has a very fine balancing act to do Jun 25 18:43:39 I saw his daughter, she’s a beauty Jun 25 18:44:31 Heidi? She's certainly a character. Jun 25 18:45:00 I heard you adopted another child too, Milord Jun 25 18:45:13 * Morgan nods toward Molly Jun 25 18:45:19 That young man there. Jun 25 18:46:21 * Man looks “he’s dark, that’s good. Means he won’t get sun burned” Jun 25 18:46:36 * Morgan nods Jun 25 18:46:58 His birth mother was from Capperlucia... his birth father from the empire Jun 25 18:47:31 * Man nods Jun 25 18:47:52 My wife was wondering when you might have one of your own... Jun 25 18:48:23 * Morgan smiles a little Jun 25 18:48:46 He is mine... as is Varick... Jun 25 18:52:33 one that you... uhh... made, milord Jun 25 18:52:43 * Morgan chuckles Jun 25 18:52:51 Soon, I think Jun 25 18:54:09 * Man smiles Jun 25 18:54:56 I’ve got ten, another coming in September Jun 25 18:55:42 * Morgan reaches out to shake his hand Jun 25 18:55:44 Congratulations Jun 25 18:56:24 * Man looks surprised but shakes it “thank you, Milord. all boys, so we’re hoping this one’s a girl” Jun 25 18:57:33 * Morgan nods, smiling Jun 25 18:59:19 Its nothing like having boys... Jun 25 18:59:55 That’s right, you had a daughter, I’d forgot that Jun 25 19:01:36 * Morgan nods Jun 25 19:02:02 Jana. She was the sweetest little girl, usually covering me in jam at breakfast Jun 25 19:03:00 * Man smiles “I’m usually wearing a spoonful or two” Jun 25 19:04:02 * Morgan chuckles Jun 25 19:05:17 *the man’s wife is waving. Her bump is around the same size as Molly’s but not hidden away Jun 25 19:05:51 * Morgan smiles Jun 25 19:05:55 Your wife? Jun 25 19:06:57 * Man smiles Jun 25 19:07:16 yes, twenty years married, milord Jun 25 19:10:53 * Morgan smiles Jun 25 19:10:56 Thats nice to hear Jun 25 19:12:14 * Man nods “I’ll pray it’ll be you and your wife celebrating that in nineteen more years, milord” Jun 25 19:12:34 * Morgan looks touched Jun 25 19:12:37 Thank you... really... Jun 25 19:14:10 * Man smiles Jun 25 19:14:25 I’d best go see what she wants to spend my money on, milord Jun 25 19:14:33 * Morgan nods Jun 25 19:14:35 Its good to see you Jun 25 19:16:54 * Man bows again “and you, milord” Jun 25 19:17:04 * Morgan smiles, letting them go Jun 25 19:19:06 * Man is now known as Molly Jun 25 19:19:35 * Molly has taken Emil to choose vegetables, and he looks fascinated by this Jun 25 19:20:24 * Morgan wanders over to her Jun 25 19:22:46 * Molly is chatting away to Emil as if she is just another mother at the market with her son, not a duchess Jun 25 19:24:28 * Morgan moves beside her, kissing her head Jun 25 19:24:42 * Molly looks up at him, surprised Jun 25 19:24:56 Liebes herz, we weren’t expecting you Jun 25 19:25:15 *Emil waves a carrot around, grinning* Jun 25 19:25:32 * Morgan nods Jun 25 19:25:42 I gathered that... what've you got there young man? Jun 25 19:27:25 Emil grins: Vah-eee! Jun 25 19:27:43 *The man on the stall watches with a smile* Jun 25 19:28:28 * Morgan smiles, tickling under Emil's chin Jun 25 19:29:20 *Emil reaches the carrot out to Morgan’s face* Jun 25 19:30:26 * Morgan smiles Jun 25 19:30:31 Very kind of you, but I've just had an apple Jun 25 19:31:51 *emil tries to get to Morgan* Jun 25 19:32:21 * Morgan smiles, taking him Jun 25 19:33:55 *Emil then tries to stick it in Morgan’s ear whilst Molly deals with her purchasing* Jun 25 19:34:22 * Morgan holds Emil at arms length for a moment before pulling him close and blowing raspberries on his neck Jun 25 19:36:40 *Emil laughs loudly, and several villagers turn to look, smiling. He just catches one of them say “It’s nice, they’re like a normal family” Jun 25 19:40:00 * Morgan smiles, tickling Emil Jun 25 19:41:52 *Emil enjoys this. Molly eventually says “When do you wish to visit the family?” Jun 25 19:42:20 I have nothing pressing to do right now... Jun 25 19:43:55 * Molly smiles Jun 25 19:44:13 Did you wish to take Emil, or is he to stay with the others? Jun 25 19:44:40 Which would you prefer? Jun 25 19:45:21 * Molly smiles faintly “That depends on whether Inga was teasing me, I think” Jun 25 19:46:33 About... Jun 25 19:48:10 Whether you are finding things... frustrating. If you might need help, it might be better if he waits here Jun 25 19:48:21 Bit too risky for that Jun 25 19:48:41 * Molly smiles Jun 25 19:48:46 As you wish, my love Jun 25 19:50:30 * Morgan nods Jun 25 19:50:51 Might be best if he stays with the others... I've not heard how the children faired Jun 25 19:53:08 * Molly nods. They leave him with Inga, and make their way from the square north on a smaller path towards the house from before. It’s very pretty and tranquil, lots of bird song Jun 25 19:55:22 How are you, my love? Jun 25 19:55:48 I'm okay I think... you? Jun 25 19:57:11 * Molly smiles Jun 25 19:57:33 Yes, I am. It was nice to just be in the market and shopping Jun 25 19:59:14 * Morgan nods Jun 25 19:59:30 I saw a couple of the men I helped build a barn when we were here before Jun 25 20:00:15 * Molly nods, walking along beside him at ease Jun 25 20:00:21 I did see you talking Jun 25 20:00:44 It seemed the ladies were very taken with Emil Jun 25 20:03:16 * Molly smiles warmly Jun 25 20:03:32 They were saying how sweet he is, and what a happy baby he is Jun 25 20:03:51 * Morgan nods Jun 25 20:04:03 The woman who was waving to one of the men I was talking to is due around the same time as you Jun 25 20:05:38 * Molly smiles “That still catches me by surprise at times” Jun 25 20:07:21 Oh? Jun 25 20:08:31 I’m going to be having a baby in September, a tiny little person Jun 25 20:09:52 * Morgan nods Jun 25 20:09:54 Yes, you are Jun 25 20:10:13 * Molly smiles Jun 25 20:10:25 He’ll be so little... Jun 25 20:11:48 * Morgan nods Jun 25 20:11:58 Like Thomas was Jun 25 20:12:23 * Molly nods enthusiastically Jun 25 20:12:37 Oh he was just so small and curled up and precious! Jun 25 20:12:47 * Morgan nods Jun 25 20:12:48 He was Jun 25 20:13:33 * Molly sighs wistfully Jun 25 20:13:47 is it possible to be broody -whilst- pregnant?! Jun 25 20:14:36 Apparently it is... Jun 25 20:16:46 * Molly nods Jun 25 20:16:52 Are you broody too? Jun 25 20:17:00 * Morgan nods, smiling a little Jun 25 20:17:05 I am rather Jun 25 20:18:41 * Molly nods Jun 25 20:19:34 *they get to the house easily. It looks tidier than before* Jun 25 20:20:53 * Morgan knocks gently Jun 25 20:26:40 *The woman from before answers it, her name is Sarah. She looks well, but the house is noisy with children. She looks surprised to see them, curtsying before trying to shush the children Jun 25 20:30:09 * Morgan smiles Jun 25 20:30:22 Sorry, I know you weren't expecting us Jun 25 20:30:52 Sarah: I wasn’t, your Excellencies, but please, come in? Jun 25 20:33:50 If you're sure? We don't want to intrude Jun 25 20:37:37 *She lets them in. this is a house where there are lots of children. They all seem to remember him because they coming rushing over. The eldest says “are you going to tell us another story, milord?l Jun 25 20:38:21 How about we find somewhere and I tell you about... colourful birds and... dragons! Jun 25 20:39:37 *the four children nods eagerly. Sarah takes the now-four-month-old from her basket* Jun 25 20:39:59 Okay, lets find somewhere to sit to your mama can talk to Molly Jun 25 20:40:19 * Molly smiles, watching the baby. The children sit on the floor Jun 25 20:41:27 Blossom... do we have anything terribly pressing to do in a few hours? Jun 25 20:42:28 I have appointments with Elsie and Heinrich... Jun 25 20:44:20 * Morgan nods Jun 25 20:44:32 I was thinking perhaps the children would like to come and see Bir for a little bit... Jun 25 20:47:54 * Molly nods, smiling Jun 25 20:48:36 *Sarah looks shocked* They’d go to your house, your Excellency?! Jun 25 20:49:27 Unless you don't wish them to... Jun 25 20:51:04 *she smiles* we’d be honoured, milord Jun 25 20:51:17 * Morgan nods, smiling Jun 25 20:52:16 Then they can meet Bir... Jun 25 20:52:26 * Morgan looks to the children before sitting on the floor with them Jun 25 20:55:49 Boy: who is that? Jun 25 20:56:03 * Molly asks if she can hold the baby Jun 25 20:57:40 So, we went to a far away land hundreds of leagues away... and one of the creatures they have there is a bird called a Nani bird... their feathers are all kinds of colours Jun 25 21:00:34 *A little girl says* Is this a pretending story? Jun 25 21:00:55 No, love, it isn't... its true... and later on, you can come see one Jun 25 21:08:58 *the children look excited. his neck prickles* Jun 25 21:10:30 Now, these birds are about... this tall *he holds his hand above the floor* and are shades of red and blue and green and yellow... Jun 25 21:11:45 *the children stare open-mouthed* Girl: I want to see one now! Jun 25 21:11:56 [she’s fine...] Jun 25 21:12:10 Later, love, you can come see the one we brought back... she's very clever Jun 25 21:12:34 Boy: Is she as clever as a crow? Jun 25 21:12:49 * Molly chats to the mother Jun 25 21:12:56 * Morgan smiles, leaning on his hand Jun 25 21:13:21 More... she can play games where she finds things... and if she's in the right mood, she can -talk- Jun 25 21:17:09 *There are several wows* Jun 25 21:17:45 *he hears Molly falter a little in her talking* Jun 25 21:18:40 [whats wrong?] Jun 25 21:18:47 * Morgan nods Jun 25 21:18:58 Shes -very- clever and very pretty Jun 25 21:21:04 [I... uhh... well, my breasts haven’t realised we aren’t going to be feeding this one, and the inside of my dress is a little wet now] Jun 25 21:21:23 girl: does she eat children? Jun 25 21:28:15 Nuts and fruit Jun 25 21:29:15 Boy: I like them Jun 25 21:30:15 Nuts and fruit? Jun 25 21:30:31 *the boy nods* Jun 25 21:30:48 *he notices Molly hand the baby back* Jun 25 21:30:52 * Morgan nods Jun 25 21:30:54 Me too Jun 25 21:31:08 [I thought perhaps something was wrong with the little one Jun 25 21:31:18 girl: Can we feed the bird Jun 25 21:31:40 Oh probably, we'll see how she's feeling Jun 25 21:31:46 [no, it’s all my overly-enthused breasts, I’m afraid!] Jun 25 21:34:04 [ah, alright] Jun 25 21:35:06 boy: I want to feed her first! Girl:No, me! Jun 25 21:35:26 If I can persuade Varick, maybe he'll show you the game they can play together Jun 25 21:35:40 * Molly looks around, then speaks to Sarah “They all look very well” Jun 25 21:35:59 Boy: Is that the boy who is the Freiarr, milord? Jun 25 21:36:32 S: They are. I can’t thank you enough for helping us that day, and Theus blessed us with their survival Jun 25 21:36:41 * Morgan nods Jun 25 21:36:44 Thats right, yes Jun 25 21:37:38 Girl: But he’s only a boy Jun 25 21:38:19 * Morgan nods Jun 25 21:38:30 Its alright, I'm helping him until he's older Jun 25 21:39:57 Boy: I don’t want to be a Freiarr, I want to be a wheelwright like my dad Jun 25 21:40:53 * Morgan nods Jun 25 21:41:18 I wanted to be a sailor like mine was Jun 25 21:41:38 Girl: Did you get to? Jun 25 21:41:43 * Morgan nods Jun 25 21:41:49 I did, yes, I was a sailor in the war Jun 25 21:42:28 *the girl nods* Milady, what did you want to be? Jun 25 21:42:53 * Molly smiles, glancing at Morgan “I wanted to be a wife and mother” Jun 25 21:44:10 Girl: I want to be a princess. Jun 25 21:44:40 Oh really? Jun 25 21:45:58 G: Then I would tell people what to do Jun 25 21:47:55 [I think I should head back to Emil, before I need to express a little off] Jun 25 21:48:12 [alright love] Jun 25 21:50:43 * Molly stands up, saying goodbyes. It’s arranged that Sarah will bring the children at three. They are left very excited and noisy as he and Molly leave. She smiles Jun 25 21:50:53 It’s good to see them all well Jun 25 21:51:06 * Morgan nods, smiling Jun 25 21:51:09 Yes, it was Jun 25 21:51:54 I need to be careful with rooting babies! Jun 25 21:52:10 * Morgan chuckles Jun 25 21:52:13 Apparently so Jun 25 21:52:17 * Molly smiles Jun 25 21:52:32 It amuses you when I lose control like that? Jun 25 21:53:45 well... it was funny... Jun 25 21:54:00 * Molly smiles Jun 25 21:54:46 I doubt it’ll go away. it does get frustrating though Jun 25 21:55:22 Does it? Jun 25 21:55:31 * Molly nods Jun 25 21:56:07 It is like that feeling of needing to sneeze, with the built up pressure and that tingling, but it my chest Jun 25 21:56:21 * Morgan nods Jun 25 21:56:30 Yes, I can see that'd be frustrating Jun 25 21:56:43 * Molly nods Jun 25 21:56:54 That’s why I was considering expressing some Jun 25 21:57:05 * Morgan nods Jun 25 21:57:08 Probably a good idea then Jun 25 21:57:21 * Molly looks around Jun 25 21:57:45 I suspect off the path is probably private enough for it Jun 25 21:57:56 * Morgan nods Jun 25 21:57:59 Alright... Jun 25 21:58:13 Are you waiting here, or...? Jun 25 21:59:01 II'll come stand guard Jun 25 21:59:32 * Molly nods, moving into the trees away from the path Jun 25 22:00:00 It doesn’t need to be too much, just to take the edge off it Jun 25 22:00:29 * Morgan nods Jun 25 22:00:30 Aye Jun 25 22:00:53 * Molly finds a tree, and then looks around before undoing her dress Jun 25 22:01:07 * Morgan smiles, watching her Jun 25 22:01:32 * Molly smiles “You’re enjoying this, my love?” Jun 25 22:01:56 * Morgan smiles Jun 25 22:01:58 Of course Jun 25 22:03:38 * Molly nods, getting the dress just parted enough that both breasts are exposed, the sunlight on them looking warm and pretty. She tucks the volume of her skirt between her legs Jun 25 22:04:36 I haven’t had to do this outside before Jun 25 22:04:41 no... Jun 25 22:06:17 * Molly braces her left hand on a tree so she can then lean forward, using her right hand to stimulate the right breast Jun 25 22:06:42 We’ll see how much I get all over myself and my boots, hmm? Jun 25 22:06:57 I imagine quite a bit Jun 25 22:08:49 * Molly nods, still applying that pressure behind the nipple. The morning sun catches the first drop, so shiny as it falls. She looks like she’s concentrating, her breathing slow and steady as she works at this Jun 25 22:09:05 * Morgan looks around Jun 25 22:09:32 *They’re plenty secluded, more chance of being seen by wildlife than people* Jun 25 22:10:50 * Molly draws a sharp breath which is followed by a longer exhale as the milk lets down in several tiny streams Jun 25 22:11:19 * Morgan smiles Jun 25 22:11:21 Better? Jun 25 22:12:22 mmmhmm... *she leans a little more to keep the milk from her clothes, bringing it out to fall on the grass and leaves at the foot of the tree* Jun 25 22:12:40 * Morgan watches her Jun 25 22:13:19 * Molly keeps doing this with a little shiver, watching him with a smile “Don’t worry, I won’t be long” Jun 25 22:13:39 * Morgan shrugs Jun 25 22:13:41 alright Jun 25 22:14:11 You are eager to get back to what we need to do? Jun 25 22:14:35 We have quite a bit to do Jun 25 22:14:55 * Molly ‘s fingers are getting wet, but she’s doing well with keeping her milk from her clothes and boots Jun 25 22:15:00 we do. Jun 25 22:16:09 * Molly moves her hand to the other breast, pinching and rolling the nipple a moment Jun 25 22:16:44 Not sure -that- is quite necessary... Jun 25 22:17:12 * Molly smiles “It just helps make the milk come...” Jun 25 22:18:19 Uh huh... Jun 25 22:18:36 * Molly smiles, moving her hand to the right position Jun 25 22:18:47 was it making it hard for you to stand guard? Jun 25 22:19:22 A bit, yes Jun 25 22:20:15 You could, I suppose, have turned your back... *she squeezes to start the streaming milk from this breast too* Jun 25 22:20:32 I suppose I could have Jun 25 22:21:08 mmhmm... I guess you just like to watch, hmm? *she keeps going, as does the flow* Jun 25 22:21:20 * Morgan shrugs a little Jun 25 22:21:23 I suppose so Jun 25 22:21:59 * Molly says no more, just finishing up before starting to redo her dress Jun 25 22:46:44 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jun 25 23:24:42 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
