**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jul 2 00:04:06 2024 Jul 02 00:04:06 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jul 02 18:42:07 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Jul 02 18:45:10 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Jul 02 18:45:24 * Morgan breathes out slowly Jul 02 18:45:24 I'll, ummm... see you in the morning... Jul 02 18:45:24 * Molly watches his mouth briefly as she nods “yes... I’ll be here...” Jul 02 18:45:24 * Morgan nods, licking his lip before moving away a little Jul 02 18:45:24 * Molly nods,sucking the centre of her lower lip as she moves further from the door Jul 02 18:45:26 Good night,sleep well. Jul 02 18:45:28 * Morgan nods Jul 02 18:45:30 You too... Jul 02 18:45:32 * Molly nods, putting her hand gently on the door, her hand sliding down the wood almost like a caress Jul 02 18:45:34 * Morgan licks his lip again as he watches her hand Jul 02 18:45:36 * Molly watches his eyes, then her own hand. She runs it down the edge of the door until it stops as about her mid hip hoeing. The angle at which she’s stood part behind the door makes it more central, as if her hand has reached the height the most intimate part of her Jul 02 18:45:40 * Morgan exhales, blushing Jul 02 18:45:42 * Molly inhales deeply, then holds it, just watching him Jul 02 18:45:44 * Morgan once more licks his lips, taking a step back Jul 02 18:45:46 * Molly gently brings the door closer, still watching him as she does so, even as the gap narrows their view of each other Jul 02 18:45:47 * Morgan swallows hard, watching her Jul 02 18:47:16 *she watches him, taking in his features. The sigh she makes is gentle, but almost wistful* Goodnight. Jul 02 18:52:17 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jul 02 18:53:23 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Jul 02 18:53:57 *she watches him, taking in his features. The sigh she makes is gentle, but almost wistful* Goodnight. Jul 02 18:54:44 * Morgan nods, taking a step away from the door Jul 02 18:56:05 *she takes a deep breath then gently shuts the door, but there's no turn of the key in the lock* Jul 02 18:56:47 * Morgan stands still, frowning at the door Jul 02 18:58:16 *Now he's left all alone with the cloak that smells like her, -and- memories of her aroused expressions as she'd listened to the couple. And the way her stomach had twitched at both the man's orgasm -and- Morgan’s gentle brush of her arm Jul 02 18:59:36 * Morgan scowls, going to sit on the bed Jul 02 19:00:14 *at first he hears her quietly go about preparing for bed Jul 02 19:00:33 * Morgan moves to sitting up in the bed Jul 02 19:01:03 *soon her room sounds not just quiet but silent, like someone is trying extremely hard to be noiseless. Jul 02 19:01:21 * Morgan sighs, closing his eyes Jul 02 19:02:25 *he is definitely going to find sleep extremely elusive after the events of the evening. Bad enough when it was just her in the wet shift, but now he's seen the way arousal fills her expression, how she manages it by pressing her thighs together, and how soft her lips had looked when she blew out a steadying breath. Jul 02 19:03:30 * Morgan scowls some more, sitting still Jul 02 19:04:09 *after about twenty minutes, he hears the noise of her moving around the room again Jul 02 19:05:06 * Morgan listens Jul 02 19:05:32 *it doesn’t last long before it’s all quiet again Jul 02 19:06:24 * Morgan huffs quietly, trying to sleep Jul 02 19:07:17 *it is difficult, as he expected, but he manages to get a few hours, waking around four, long before dawn* Jul 02 19:07:36 * Morgan yawns, getting up to get things ready for the day Jul 02 19:08:29 *he gets plenty of time for that, first hearing her get up at six* Jul 02 19:11:11 * Morgan listens for a moment before calling 'good morning' through the door Jul 02 19:11:45 * Molly calls back “good morning, I am just dressing” Jul 02 19:11:56 * Morgan nods, sitting on his bed Jul 02 19:12:48 * Molly calls about twenty minutes later “you can come now” Jul 02 19:13:05 * Morgan clears his throat, moving to open the door Jul 02 19:14:34 * Molly is fully dressed, including her shoes. Her hair is tidily pinned up, make up done Jul 02 19:14:50 You look lovely Jul 02 19:14:57 * Molly blushes Jul 02 19:15:01 thank you Jul 02 19:15:53 * Molly picks up her bag “I am ready to go down for breakfast” Jul 02 19:16:17 * Morgan nods Jul 02 19:16:19 Alright then Jul 02 19:17:08 * Molly nods. She looks like she has no intention of mentioning what they overheard, or the struggles to part Jul 02 19:17:38 Will we take lunch with us? I do not believe we’ll arrive in Carleon until after that Jul 02 19:17:53 * Morgan nods, watching her Jul 02 19:17:56 Aye, best had Jul 02 19:18:02 * Molly nods Jul 02 19:18:36 Will you continue to teach me Eisen on the way? I feel like I might be getting to grips with it Jul 02 19:18:44 If you like... Jul 02 19:20:38 * Molly nods, smiling Jul 02 19:21:28 Thank you. It truly is difficult to pronounce some things, hard to wrap your tongue around with all the tch sounds Jul 02 19:21:41 * Morgan nods, blushing Jul 02 19:22:55 * Molly definitely doesn’t seem to notice the innuendos in her speech this morning Jul 02 19:23:00 Are you hungry? Jul 02 19:23:23 I could eat Jul 02 19:26:49 * Molly nods, heading downstairs to have food. It’s simply food, yet she makes a point of telling the maid how wonderful it was. They have to make a quick dash to the carriage through the rain, though as always he’d ideally ride. She sits facing backwards, shaking off Jul 02 19:27:05 All that running and I am still soaked! Jul 02 19:27:16 * Morgan nods Jul 02 19:27:32 Better than hail at least Jul 02 19:28:04 * Molly nods, removing her cloak and settling as they start moving Jul 02 19:28:12 Where were we? Jul 02 19:28:33 With... Jul 02 19:29:51 Learning Eisen Jul 02 19:31:28 Oh... ummm... Jul 02 19:31:35 * Morgan rattles off a few words Jul 02 19:33:37 * Molly works on it all day. She still doesn’t mention the previous night, and though she’s friendly as usual she definitely doesn’t stare at him like she had been before they’d retired. **They arrive in Carleon in the late afternoon as expected, and head for the doctors where Morgan had written in advance. The coach pulls up outside* Jul 02 19:34:08 * Morgan looks out of the window before getting out of the coach Jul 02 19:35:24 * Molly looks up at the building as she gets out Jul 02 19:36:33 Maybe our inn for the night will have a more discerning clientele... Jul 02 19:37:15 Than? Jul 02 19:38:18 Than last night’s. Shall we go in? Jul 02 19:38:45 * Morgan nods, moving to the door Jul 02 19:41:14 * Molly goes in. There’s a little bit of nonsense with the assistant and the doctor over whether Morgan has an appointment. She looks nervous in here. He had found the doctor abrasive and irritating, and letting Molly go into a private room with him didn't sit well in his gut. Jul 02 19:41:44 * Morgan stands in the waiting room Jul 02 19:43:28 * where in reality he'd been called by the assistant because she had fainted, this time the doctor himself comes to collect Morgan** Jul 02 19:45:58 doctor: If you will accompany me, my Lord. Jul 02 19:48:02 * Morgan frowns, nodding Jul 02 19:49:33 *he leads the way. Molly is already sat in a chair, hands primly in her lap and looking down, her cheeks flushed. The seat beside her is empty, and Doctor Trevithick sits behind his desk looking stern. Jul 02 19:50:44 Is there a problem? Jul 02 19:51:07 Dr: Upon examination, I have discovered that this girl no longer has her maidenhead intact. Jul 02 19:51:27 * Morgan frowns Jul 02 19:51:30 You are sure? Jul 02 19:52:45 *He nods* I have been in this profession for twenty years, and performed many examinations like this Jul 02 19:53:15 I see Jul 02 19:53:19 * Molly doesn’t even look up Jul 02 19:53:29 Dr: I would suggest that this happened very recently, within the last week. *they have been travelling for three days* Jul 02 19:53:45 because... Jul 02 19:56:04 Dr: Because it still looks freshly broken Jul 02 19:57:21 I see Jul 02 19:58:17 * Molly still sits silently, not engaging Jul 02 19:58:52 Dr: I can write the confirmation to this effect, it will only take a few minutes Jul 02 19:59:03 * Morgan nods slightly Jul 02 19:59:05 Very well Jul 02 19:59:30 Dr: You may wait in the waiting room Jul 02 19:59:51 Your quill does not work when people can see it? Jul 02 20:01:36 *He looks a little put out, but starts writing* How many copies? Jul 02 20:02:35 One will suffice Jul 02 20:05:12 *He quickly does this and signs it, handing it over before looking at Molly with disapproval* Girls these days... I am sorry your trip was wasted, my Lord Jul 02 20:06:15 We required your expertise, not your judgement. That'll be all Jul 02 20:06:59 *the doctor shows them out, and then the assistant shows them back outside after taking the payment* Jul 02 20:08:10 * Morgan looks around Jul 02 20:08:32 *the carriage is waiting for them* Jul 02 20:10:21 Come on then... we'll go find a mirror Jul 02 20:11:03 * Molly just gets in, saying nothing, but she looks plenty embarrassed Jul 02 20:13:33 * Morgan climbs in, closing the door Jul 02 20:14:23 * Molly sits where she was before, but silent tears fall as she avoids his gaze Jul 02 20:15:04 Come here... Jul 02 20:16:00 * Molly moves to sit beside him Jul 02 20:16:18 * Morgan slowly puts his arms around her, pulling her against him Jul 02 20:17:32 * Molly puts her arms around his waist, tucking under his chin. He can hear her crying quietly Jul 02 20:17:55 Its alright.... Jul 02 20:19:24 He won’t want to marry me now Jul 02 20:20:51 If he finds out... Jul 02 20:21:32 * Molly pulls away Jul 02 20:21:44 You want to lie? Jul 02 20:22:05 I didn't say that... did you lie to me? Jul 02 20:24:03 * Molly shakes her head “No, I have never even been close to a man” Jul 02 20:25:46 How did it happen? Jul 02 20:25:52 * Molly blushes hard Jul 02 20:26:04 I uh... I don’t wish to say Jul 02 20:26:18 I rather think its necessary Jul 02 20:27:03 * Molly fidgets awkwardly, moving a little further back “It... no one did anything to me...” Jul 02 20:27:31 I'm afraid I don't understand then Jul 02 20:29:11 * Molly blushes more, not looking above the base of his throat Jul 02 20:29:20 I... I did it Jul 02 20:29:32 Why? Jul 02 20:29:42 By accident. Jul 02 20:30:06 I don't see how Jul 02 20:31:24 * Molly chews her lower lip, looking so embarrassed Jul 02 20:31:39 I... Please, please don’t hate me... Jul 02 20:31:51 * Morgan nods a little Jul 02 20:33:21 * Molly draws a deep breath, still not looking at him. The coach progresses slowly Jul 02 20:33:37 I was curious last night... Jul 02 20:36:46 Right... Jul 02 20:37:56 * Molly nods Jul 02 20:38:26 That is how it broke Jul 02 20:39:11 Because you were -curious-? Jul 02 20:40:01 * Molly looks really uncomfortable Jul 02 20:41:05 because I... *she wraps her arms around her waist, and turns her face away* ... touched, where I wasn’t supposed to. Jul 02 20:41:24 I see... Jul 02 20:42:50 * Molly nods, swallowing hard to try to hold back more tears Jul 02 20:47:22 * Molly doesn’t say anything Jul 02 20:47:57 We'll have to see what happens from here Jul 02 20:49:48 * Molly nods, still not looking at him. She doesn’t move from his side of the coach, but there’s no contact physically. This leaves him to his own thoughts Jul 02 20:50:27 * Morgan sits quietly, thinking Jul 02 20:52:28 * Molly leans her temple to the side of the coach, closing her eyes. That’s when the memory of how she’d done that listening to the couple outside as her toes had curled come back to him Jul 02 20:52:49 * Morgan blushes Jul 02 20:54:47 * Molly sighs heavily Jul 02 20:54:59 I shouldn’t have come Jul 02 20:55:08 Why? Jul 02 20:55:21 I’ve spoiled our friendship. Jul 02 20:55:40 I'm failing to see how Jul 02 20:56:44 Because I am embarrassed, and you must think so badly of me Jul 02 20:56:58 Well, one of those is true Jul 02 20:57:27 * Molly chews her lip Jul 02 20:57:37 You do not think badly of me? Jul 02 20:58:08 Why would I? Jul 02 20:59:32 It’s... it’s not what women should do Jul 02 20:59:59 * Morgan shrugs Jul 02 21:00:57 I imagine its similar to what young men have been doing for hundreds of years... Jul 02 21:01:21 /me looks even more embarrassed Jul 02 21:01:56 My Mother hit my brother on the back of the legs with a wooden spoon for that, and she would be so disgusted with me today Jul 02 21:02:28 Best hope she never goes on a ship then Jul 02 21:03:13 why on a ship? Jul 02 21:03:26 Because sailors are awful for it Jul 02 21:04:01 * Molly smiles slightly despite herself Jul 02 21:04:03 really? Jul 02 21:06:12 * Morgan nods Jul 02 21:06:19 In my experience, aye Jul 02 21:06:29 do you know many sailors? Jul 02 21:07:05 I... used to. Jul 02 21:08:11 * Molly blushes hard, then her brows raise Jul 02 21:08:20 Used to know many sailors... Jul 02 21:08:34 * Morgan watches her Jul 02 21:09:35 I... sorry. You meant knowing sailors. Jul 02 21:09:55 * Morgan starts to look confused Jul 02 21:10:39 * Molly shakes her head Jul 02 21:10:48 Please, tell me about the sailors. Jul 02 21:10:56 What did you think I meant? Jul 02 21:11:06 * Molly blushes again Jul 02 21:11:14 I don’t think it’d be right to say Jul 02 21:11:27 You thought I meant knowing in the biblical sense? Jul 02 21:11:40 * Molly looks shocked Jul 02 21:11:44 No! My god! Jul 02 21:11:52 Then -what-?? Jul 02 21:12:11 That you have done what you said they do Jul 02 21:12:23 Very very rarely Jul 02 21:13:04 * Molly drops her gaze so it is less clear in her expression, but he sees how her thighs come together Jul 02 21:13:10 oh. Jul 02 21:14:18 Your mother would be swinging a spoon constantly on a working ship Jul 02 21:14:57 * Molly nods Jul 02 21:15:20 Thank you. You are being so kind about this Jul 02 21:16:18 * Morgan shrugs Jul 02 21:16:33 Its a complication, its not the end of the world Jul 02 21:17:31 * Molly nods, and surprisingly reaches for his hand Jul 02 21:17:54 * Morgan looks surprised but gently takes hers Jul 02 21:18:32 * Molly squeezes gently “You’re a good friend to me, dear heart” Jul 02 21:19:32 * Morgan shrugs a little Jul 02 21:19:40 Not so good as you deserve Jul 02 21:20:09 why would you think that? Jul 02 21:20:54 Because I know the sort of man I am Jul 02 21:21:14 * Molly watches him Jul 02 21:21:25 what sort of man -are- you, Morgan? Jul 02 21:22:26 Not one who deserves your friendship Jul 02 21:23:07 /me looks deeply concerned Jul 02 21:24:30 why? you are here alone with me far from home, and you have done nothing that many men would *he sees it, so very briefly, a tiny flicker of disappointment before she simply looks compassionate* Jul 02 21:26:02 * Morgan watches her Jul 02 21:26:18 Why the disappointment? I mean... I'm used to seeing it, don't get me wrong but... not in you... Jul 02 21:26:55 * Molly blushes hard Jul 02 21:27:07 oh god... how did you see that?! Jul 02 21:27:30 I'm not bad at seeing what people are trying to hide... Jul 02 21:30:49 * Molly frowns, watching him nervously. Whatever she says he misses, because it’s her right hand she holds his hand with, and she’s right handed. In combination with what she’s confessed to having done last night, his mind suddenly puts two and two together that her hand in his was the reason for the trouble at the doctor’s* Jul 02 21:32:06 * Morgan blushes a little Jul 02 21:32:09 Sorry? Jul 02 21:33:14 I... *she chews her lip, looking unsure* ... I shouldn’t tell you this, but... If only things were not as they are, I would be so very fond of you Jul 02 21:34:02 * Morgan looks surprised Jul 02 21:34:03 Me?! Jul 02 21:35:07 * Molly blushes Jul 02 21:35:18 Sorry, sorry... I should have said nothing Jul 02 21:36:19 No its... its fine Jul 02 21:37:59 * Molly nods slightly “I... I felt relieved when he said he couldn’t verify me...” Jul 02 21:38:13 because... Jul 02 21:39:31 I dn’t want to marry Curtis. Jul 02 21:40:15 Why? Jul 02 21:41:06 * Molly bites her lip Jul 02 21:41:22 Because I cannot imagine any of -that- with him Jul 02 21:41:32 * Morgan nods a little Jul 02 21:41:33 Nor can I Jul 02 21:42:57 * Molly giggles Jul 02 21:44:01 *she settles down before she says* I... I didn’t think of him a single moment last night, Jul 02 21:44:16 That would be an issue for your marriage... Jul 02 21:45:58 * Molly nods Jul 02 21:46:52 That is awful, is it not? A man wants to be thought of by his woman in such times, if he can abide it at all Jul 02 21:47:17 I would say so Jul 02 21:48:27 * Molly nods Jul 02 21:48:42 Tell me truthfully... what should I do? Jul 02 21:49:39 * Morgan sighs Jul 02 21:50:22 I'm afraid I don't know... even if the results had been different, I'm not sure it would be a good idea... but then... my ideas of what things should be are not as widely accepted Jul 02 21:50:43 * Molly frowns Jul 02 21:51:03 So you think I should not marry him? Jul 02 21:51:41 I'm not sure the two of you would be well suited Jul 02 21:52:41 * Molly nods slowly and thoughtfully Jul 02 21:52:59 Yes... I just... I don’t feel anything for him at all Jul 02 21:53:15 * Morgan nods Jul 02 21:53:22 Not sure I blame you there Jul 02 21:54:48 * Molly nods, biting her lip Jul 02 21:55:04 I should stop this before it goes too far Jul 02 21:55:51 He'll be annoyed, no doubt Jul 02 21:56:28 * Molly nods Jul 02 21:56:49 Would I still have your friendship, and your protection from him? Jul 02 21:57:00 * Morgan nods Jul 02 21:57:01 Of course Jul 02 21:57:54 * Molly smiles, squeezing again Jul 02 21:58:02 thank you, dear heart Jul 02 21:58:36 * Morgan nods, rubbing his thumb across her knuckles Jul 02 21:58:40 You don't have to worry about him Jul 02 21:59:52 * Molly blushes, pupils widening. She must realise her expression gives it away, because she glances away Jul 02 22:00:21 yes... Jul 02 22:00:51 * Morgan looks down at their hands Jul 02 22:00:58 I'll think about how best to handle the situation Jul 02 22:03:14 * Molly looks back, then looks where he’s looking. She brushes the pad of her thumb down the side of his index finger Jul 02 22:05:09 * Morgan shivers a little before glancing at her Jul 02 22:05:17 We need to fin somewhere to get a mirror Jul 02 22:05:46 * Molly watches him, her pupils even wider. She does the same thing with her thumb again Jul 02 22:05:49 yes... Jul 02 22:06:30 * Morgan shivers again Jul 02 22:08:51 * Molly licks then bites her lip. Like last night, he can see the way the deep breaths make her chest rise and fall above the neckline of her dress Jul 02 22:09:16 * Morgan blushes, glancing at her before looking away Jul 02 22:10:57 * Molly holds her breath and strokes his index finger again, a little more firmly Jul 02 22:11:16 * Morgan licks his lip, not looking at her Jul 02 22:12:42 * Molly does it again, but says very softly “tell me to stop...” Jul 02 22:13:07 * Morgan opens his mouth but doesn't speak Jul 02 22:14:44 * Molly fidgets a little beside him, but it doesn’t stop her thumb again, which moves this time to the underside of his finger where it’s more sensitive Jul 02 22:15:06 * Morgan shivers, running his thumb over her knuckles Jul 02 22:16:01 * Molly makes a quiet soft sigh of enjoyment, and strokes his finger again Jul 02 22:17:18 * Morgan does it again Jul 02 22:17:40 you... should tell me... to stop... *she sucks the middle of her bottom lip* Jul 02 22:17:52 That is what you wish? Jul 02 22:18:23 * Molly takes her thumb up into his palm, stroking there Jul 02 22:18:55 no, but... I cannot stop myself... Jul 02 22:20:20 * Molly watches him, gaze all over his face Jul 02 22:20:54 * Morgan watches her before bringing her hand to his face, pressing his lips to her knuckles Jul 02 22:21:53 * Molly gasps, eyes closing and her brows coming together Jul 02 22:21:57 oh my... Jul 02 22:22:12 I'm sorry... that was too far... Jul 02 22:23:00 * Molly opens her eyes, shaking her head. She gently brushes her knuckles along his lips “Not too far.” Jul 02 22:23:45 No? Jul 02 22:24:24 * Molly shivers at how his mouth moves on her skin “I like it.” Jul 02 22:24:54 * Morgan nods a little, doing it again Jul 02 22:25:50 * Molly nods, blushing. She moves a little closer so her knee touches his “please, continue, if you wish it.” Jul 02 22:26:44 * Morgan opens his mouth a little, capturing a knuckle just between his lips briefly Jul 02 22:27:39 * Molly shudders, watching his mouth as he does it “ohh...” Jul 02 22:48:31 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jul 02 23:28:24 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jul 02 23:37:54 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Jul 02 23:39:22 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
