I love carrying your baby] Jul 23 13:30:31 * Morgan smiles, going to find some clothes Jul 23 13:30:40 [It looks good on you] Jul 23 13:31:04 *some have already been laid out for him* Jul 23 13:31:35 [mmhmm... I’ll let you get dressed] Jul 23 13:31:44 * Morgan sets about getting changed Jul 23 13:32:17 *he’s fully dressed when she comes back to the room just in her robe* Jul 23 13:32:28 You look very handsome, my love Jul 23 13:33:33 You think so? Jul 23 13:34:16 * Molly nods, towelling her hair Jul 23 13:34:24 I do indeed, your Excellency Jul 23 13:34:59 * Morgan smiles, watching her Jul 23 13:36:12 * Molly continues rubbing it, smiling Jul 23 13:36:32 Do you see something to your liking, my Lord? Jul 23 13:36:47 I do... though I was actually thinking I could take care of that for you... Jul 23 13:37:49 * Molly nods Jul 23 13:37:55 I’d like that Jul 23 13:38:13 You realise I meant... *he wiggles his fingers at her* Jul 23 13:38:33 Oh... yes, that would be much quicker Jul 23 13:38:48 I'll towel it instead if thats what you prefer... Jul 23 13:39:03 I’d enjoy the closeness Jul 23 13:41:53 * Morgan nods, pointing to a chair Jul 23 13:43:45 * Molly sits, handing him the towel Jul 23 13:44:18 * Morgan concentrates, heating the towel before starting to gently dry her hair Jul 23 13:45:17 ohhhhhhh that’s so nice! Jul 23 13:46:50 * Morgan smiles Jul 23 13:46:51 good Jul 23 13:48:29 * Molly closes her eyes, tilting her head back. He’ll have to do this again sometime, because the warmth of the towel increases the scent from the roots of her hair Jul 23 13:48:48 it’ll make it much easier to style for dinner Jul 23 13:48:55 * Morgan nods Jul 23 13:48:57 I would imagine so Jul 23 13:51:46 * Molly shivers a little, letting him work Jul 23 13:52:00 Has Heinzharold told you why they were late? Jul 23 13:52:42 Because she had to go and wash her hair... Jul 23 13:54:26 yes, did he tell you why? Jul 23 13:54:35 No... -she- did though Jul 23 13:56:21 * Molly giggles Jul 23 13:56:35 Massively overshot his mark, I’m told Jul 23 13:56:56 * Morgan nods Jul 23 13:56:58 Sounds like it Jul 23 13:58:54 I think their evening alone did them good Jul 23 13:59:10 * Morgan nods Jul 23 13:59:13 It seems that way doesn't it Jul 23 14:00:56 We you envious, my love? Jul 23 14:01:00 were Jul 23 14:01:18 * Morgan shrugs Jul 23 14:01:20 A little perhaps Jul 23 14:03:10 You’d like a whole night to make love to me? Jul 23 14:04:35 * Morgan nods Jul 23 14:04:56 I'm not either of us could keep going the whole night though Jul 23 14:05:07 * Molly wiggles her fingers Jul 23 14:05:36 I think we could Jul 23 14:05:50 perhaps... Jul 23 14:06:16 Remember how exhausted you were after three hours though Jul 23 14:07:13 Yes, but I also remember how perfect and blissful that was Jul 23 14:07:34 * Morgan nods, moving to find a brush Jul 23 14:09:15 *he finds one, but it isn’t the special Vesten one* Jul 23 14:10:05 * Morgan comes back, starting to brush her hair Jul 23 14:11:11 * Molly sighs happily Jul 23 14:11:23 That’s very good too Jul 23 14:13:21 Not -as- good though Jul 23 14:13:46 sadly not Jul 23 14:13:59 I'm surprised you didn't bring it... Jul 23 14:15:14 Uinise still has it Jul 23 14:16:43 Ah, alright Jul 23 14:17:56 If I had known you’d be doing this, I’d have gotten it back Jul 23 14:19:04 * Morgan nods, absently plaiting her hair Jul 23 14:20:35 * Molly sits still Jul 23 14:21:10 I should get it this evening? Jul 23 14:21:39 Hmm? Oh, if you like love Jul 23 14:22:58 Is something wrong? Jul 23 14:23:35 No, love, not at all Jul 23 14:24:27 You sounded distracted? Jul 23 14:24:36 * Morgan looks down at her hair Jul 23 14:24:44 Huh... was just... daydreaming I suppose Jul 23 14:26:16 what about, liebling? Jul 23 14:26:40 * Morgan shrugs Jul 23 14:27:13 Babies... I find doing this... relaxing I suppose Jul 23 14:27:49 That is lucky, because I find it very relaxing to have it done. What about babies? Jul 23 14:28:41 Nothing in particular Jul 23 14:31:04 Has seeing Sascha made you broody? Jul 23 14:32:11 * Morgan shrugs, looking at her hair Jul 23 14:32:20 Thats... probably not what you had in mind for it tonight is it Jul 23 14:34:58 * Molly feels it with her hand Jul 23 14:35:13 That’s perfect, my love. I’ll wear it proudly Jul 23 14:35:24 Its fine, I can take it down Jul 23 14:37:20 No, I don’t want you to Jul 23 14:37:27 No? Jul 23 14:38:35 No. I like it... it’s... It’s like a mark of you upon me Jul 23 14:38:48 * Morgan nods a little Jul 23 14:38:51 Alright then Jul 23 14:39:17 * Molly nods, rubbing her stomach “Not quite so obvious as this one though* Jul 23 14:39:28 No... itisnt Jul 23 14:41:35 * Molly glances over her shoulder with a smile Jul 23 14:41:44 are you finished with me, my love? Jul 23 14:41:55 * Morgan looks at her hair for a moment before nodding Jul 23 14:47:26 * Molly nods, standing and kissing his cheek Jul 23 14:47:30 thank you Jul 23 14:48:00 * Morgan nods, packing the brush away Jul 23 14:49:54 Maybe the boys would benefit from a quick walk around the grounds before bed? Jul 23 14:50:04 * Morgan nods Jul 23 14:50:09 Probably, yes Jul 23 14:50:17 I've told Alice I'll show her the lake once it gets dark Jul 23 14:51:47 * Molly nods Jul 23 14:52:22 you could take her out in the rowing boat as you did me when we first came here Jul 23 14:52:36 You wouldn't be bothered by that? Jul 23 14:55:09 No, why would I? Jul 23 14:55:52 * Morgan shrugs a little Jul 23 14:56:34 I didn't know if you felt it was somewhat special... Jul 23 14:57:56 It was very sweet, but I imagine it wasn’t the first time you’d taken a girl out on the lake Jul 23 14:58:09 * Morgan nods Jul 23 14:58:11 It was Jul 23 15:01:28 oh... I just thought... Jul 23 15:01:58 No... Jul 23 15:03:44 * Molly nods Jul 23 15:04:20 I do not mind you taking Alice out there, but I am very touched that you did so with me Jul 23 15:04:36 * Morgan nods Jul 23 15:04:46 Maybe we can do it again before we leave... Jul 23 15:05:52 * Molly smiles Jul 23 15:06:45 yes, I’d like that. This time I’ll have the confidence to kiss you rather than spending much of the time trying to get up the nerve Jul 23 15:07:15 * Morgan nods Jul 23 15:07:23 We'll see, hmm Jul 23 15:07:43 * Molly smiles Jul 23 15:08:26 be careful what you wish for, it might get a little risky if I start grabbing your tiller... Jul 23 15:08:54 Not out there... Jul 23 15:09:26 * Molly giggles “-That- would definitely be the most risky place we’d made love” Jul 23 15:09:36 Dangerous, not risky Jul 23 15:13:31 mmhmm... dangerous sounds very hot... *she’s watching him as if she’s serious, but he knows that mischief in her eyes too well* Jul 23 15:13:54 Come on lassie, lets go get the boys for a walk Jul 23 15:16:05 * Molly smiles, gesturing to herself in her robe “Like this? were you hoping I’d give the monsters in the lake a little flash of bare thigh, my Lord?” Jul 23 15:16:29 No of course, I meant... get dressed... Jul 23 15:18:49 * Molly smiles “Are you sure, mon petit chou?” She starts to untie the tie “They might like it...” Jul 23 15:19:11 I mean, if you want Jacques getting an education while we take him for a walk... Jul 23 15:19:28 * Molly giggles Jul 23 15:19:51 Best not, he’s a little too young to be thinking things like that! Jul 23 15:19:56 Indeed Jul 23 15:20:45 * Molly kisses his cheek “You, my love, are plenty old enough to be thinking of me naked beside the lake though” Jul 23 15:20:55 * Morgan nods Jul 23 15:20:57 I'll do that then Jul 23 15:22:55 * Molly nods, smiling “I think that’s a good compromise. shall I meet you at the nursery?” Jul 23 15:23:13 * Morgan nods Jul 23 15:23:14 Alright love Jul 23 15:26:32 * Molly briefly wraps her arms around him before letting him go Jul 23 15:26:53 * Morgan kisses her cheek before heading back to the nursery Jul 23 15:29:00 *The boys are happily playing cards still* Jul 23 15:29:31 Right then boys... once Molly's dressed, boots on and we'll go for a walk in the grounds Jul 23 15:30:52 V: *he grins* can we show Jacques the maze? Jul 23 15:31:07 * Morgan nods a little Jul 23 15:31:17 I reckon so... if he wants to Jul 23 15:32:38 *Jacques nods. They both get their boots on* Jul 23 15:33:06 * Morgan looks to Alice Jul 23 15:33:11 I'll find a little boat for later... Jul 23 15:34:49 *She nods* Thanks Jul 23 15:37:50 * Morgan nods Jul 23 15:39:53 * Molly turns up soon after, wearing the green version of the dress that buttons snugly to her bump, a shawl over her arm Jul 23 15:40:00 I’m ready, my love Jul 23 15:40:08 * Morgan nods, calling to the boys Jul 23 15:40:09 Come on then Jul 23 15:40:18 Varick wants to show Jacques the maze Jul 23 15:40:36 Very well then, let’s do that Jul 23 15:41:50 * Molly pulls the shawl on when they get outside. It’s still going to be light a few more hours. Despite it being nearly bed time, the boys go running across the lawn Jul 23 15:43:00 * Morgan follows them at a walking pace Jul 23 15:45:57 * Molly walks beside him, looking around Jul 23 15:46:28 It’s been a long time since we’ve been here for more than just a night or two Jul 23 15:46:36 * Morgan nods Jul 23 15:46:44 Aye... and last time I was here was... fraught... Jul 23 15:46:50 * Molly nods Jul 23 15:46:56 how was it with your Father? Jul 23 15:47:31 fine... he seemed a little... preoccupied, but fine otherwise Jul 23 15:50:43 * Molly nods Jul 23 15:50:54 I am glad your fears have not come to pass Jul 23 15:51:05 * Morgan nods Jul 23 15:51:07 As am I Jul 23 15:53:14 * Molly takes his hand Jul 23 15:53:45 It’s been a whole year since we set of for Eisen to wed Jul 23 15:53:50 off* Jul 23 15:53:52 * Morgan nods Jul 23 15:53:55 Already Jul 23 15:54:01 * Molly nods Jul 23 15:54:09 we’ve been through so much Jul 23 15:54:16 * Morgan nods Jul 23 15:54:17 We have Jul 23 15:54:34 I only hope things get simpler now Jul 23 15:55:20 * Morgan nods Jul 23 15:55:22 Tat'd e nice Jul 23 15:57:10 * Molly nods, smiling Jul 23 15:57:42 I’d never have thought we’d have two sons and another on the way by now! Jul 23 15:58:31 No... well, realistically if it weren't for the adoption it couldn't be the case anyway Jul 23 16:00:17 * Molly smiles Jul 23 16:01:00 If we’d made love on the way to Carleon, I could have had twins in February and been pregnant already? Jul 23 16:01:14 just... maybe... Jul 23 16:02:53 * Molly nods Jul 23 16:03:19 Is Sascha awfully big? Jul 23 16:03:32 * Morgan nods Jul 23 16:03:42 Huge... her hips hurt a lot Jul 23 16:05:22 I’d imagine they do. I can probably help that though Jul 23 16:06:06 * Morgan nods Jul 23 16:06:15 She's about ready for them to come now Jul 23 16:07:23 * Molly nods Jul 23 16:07:39 They should be safe to Jul 23 16:08:05 * Morgan nods Jul 23 16:08:08 They're very active Jul 23 16:09:54 That’s how they ended up with twins. *she watches him sidelong* Jul 23 16:10:26 * Morgan blushes Jul 23 16:10:30 Thats not what I meant Jul 23 16:11:43 * Molly giggles Jul 23 16:12:01 I know, my love. The babies are active. They don’t have much room Jul 23 16:14:16 No, they don't Jul 23 16:15:55 Do they have any feelings about the sexes? Jul 23 16:16:30 * Morgan shrugs Jul 23 16:16:35 I didn't ask Jul 23 16:17:42 * Molly nods Jul 23 16:20:06 Do you wish we were having that surprise? Jul 23 16:20:50 A little, if I'm honest Jul 23 16:23:31 I’m sorry Jul 23 16:24:20 * Morgan shakes his head Jul 23 16:24:30 It was not an option for you, and we do this together Jul 23 16:26:52 The only choice is that we do not try to check on their full health in advance Jul 23 16:27:45 That is not an acceptable choice Jul 23 16:28:10 I could still not tell you if you prefer Jul 23 16:28:20 no... we do this together Jul 23 16:28:55 * Molly nods Jul 23 16:29:13 I confess, I do hope to give you another daughter next time Jul 23 16:29:44 We shall see love Jul 23 16:31:10 what about you, my love? is that something your heart yearns for? Jul 23 16:31:25 * Morgan nods a little Jul 23 16:31:31 Its a little difficult but... yes Jul 23 16:33:39 our daughter will be Jana’s sister, my love, not her replacement Jul 23 16:34:32 * Morgan nods Jul 23 16:34:33 I know Jul 23 16:35:37 * Molly squeezes gently Jul 23 16:36:02 The next time we stay here so long it’ll be for Hirschen’s delivery Jul 23 16:36:35 * Morgan nods Jul 23 16:36:38 Yes, it will Jul 23 16:38:12 how do you feel about that? Jul 23 16:39:38 I'm not entirely sure actually Jul 23 16:40:54 do you wish we were settling here instead of Hafenlohr Jul 23 16:41:28 I just... I thought we would... Jul 23 16:41:43 * Molly nods Jul 23 16:42:39 it was what you hoped when you asked if I would be willing to marry here? Jul 23 16:42:47 * Morgan nods Jul 23 16:44:22 But at home you can swim and sail Jul 23 16:44:28 * Morgan nods Jul 23 16:44:29 Aye Jul 23 16:45:31 *they get to the maze where the boys are waiting outside the maze* Jul 23 16:45:55 Alright boys, we stick together in here... tis very easy to get lost Jul 23 16:47:43 *they nod, and so they all head in* Jul 23 16:48:34 V: *he has a good grasp of the layout* Vati, we should-not- bring Florrie here! Jul 23 16:48:53 No? Why's that? Jul 23 16:50:50 V: she could change the hedges! Jul 23 16:50:58 * Morgan nods Jul 23 16:51:03 That would make it much more difficult Jul 23 16:51:40 V: she could make a jail of brambles! Jul 23 16:52:22 * Morgan nods slowly Jul 23 16:54:01 *they follow it through* Jul 23 16:54:17 this is very complicated, my love Jul 23 16:55:02 The maze? Jul 23 16:55:09 yes Jul 23 16:55:49 * Morgan nods Jul 23 16:55:51 It is rather Jul 23 16:56:45 [a couple could easily get lost in here...] Jul 23 16:58:16 [Its a possibility,yes Jul 23 16:59:31 [mmm maybe we might be unlucky one day...] Jul 23 16:59:43 [perhaps love... ] Jul 23 17:02:43 *they make it out safely this time, and back to the nursery on time to get the boys ready for bed. once they’re tucked in, Varick asks for a story Jul 23 17:03:05 * Morgan sits on the edge of the bed Jul 23 17:04:56 * Morgan tells them the tale of Robin Hood Jul 23 17:06:27 * Molly watches him fondly. Varick is rapidly asleep. Jacques quietly says Goodnight, but in Montaigne. Jul 23 17:06:53 * Morgan smiles at him before quietly leaving the room Jul 23 17:12:04 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jul 23 17:20:17 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Jul 23 17:20:50 *they make it out safely this time, and back to the nursery on time to get the boys ready for bed. once they’re tucked in, Varick asks for a story Jul 23 17:20:50 * Morgan sits on the edge of the bed Jul 23 17:20:50 * Morgan tells them the tale of Robin Hood Jul 23 17:20:50 * Molly watches him fondly. Varick is rapidly asleep. Jacques quietly says Goodnight, but in Montaigne. Jul 23 17:20:50 * Morgan smiles at him before quietly leaving the room Jul 23 17:25:23 * Molly follows, talking to Maggie briefly before they head out. Claudia and Uinise are in the hall, Alice too. With some servants in place incase they need to be fetched, they go to the main house, Claudia walking beside Morgan Jul 23 17:25:28 * Molly is now known as Claudia Jul 23 17:25:31 Hey Jul 23 17:26:01 Hey. You okay? Jul 23 17:26:46 Yeah, you? Jul 23 17:27:15 * Morgan nods, sighing a little Jul 23 17:27:19 Yeah, mostly Jul 23 17:27:54 * Claudia falls back a little from the chattering women Jul 23 17:28:00 what’s wrong? Jul 23 17:28:31 Just a bit tough... carrying Florrie to Edward earlier, caught sight of myself in a mirror... saw what I -should- have seen, back then... Jul 23 17:29:04 * Claudia nods Jul 23 17:29:25 That sucks Jul 23 17:29:52 Yeah, it does a bit... I'll be alright Jul 23 17:30:07 * Claudia nods Jul 23 17:30:49 I’ve had a word with Uinise about keeping the noise down Jul 23 17:31:03 * Morgan nods Jul 23 17:31:13 I appreciate that... I don't really want -that- conversation again Jul 23 17:32:56 no. we’ve got separate rooms anyway Jul 23 17:33:07 * Morgan raises an eyebrow Jul 23 17:34:30 And the two of you are not happy about that... Jul 23 17:36:28 it’s fine, we’ll be spending time at the shack anyway Jul 23 17:36:47 * Morgan nods Jul 23 17:36:56 Let me know if you want me to meddle with the arrangements Jul 23 17:38:12 I think we’re good Jul 23 17:38:21 * Morgan nods Jul 23 17:38:22 Alright Jul 23 17:40:14 How did it go with her parents? Jul 23 17:40:50 Its always a bit raw but... it went really well.. they're thrilled for us Jul 23 17:41:06 * Claudia smiles Jul 23 17:41:32 They’d have to be cruel to not be Jul 23 17:41:39 * Morgan nods Jul 23 17:41:42 And they just aren't Jul 23 17:42:20 no Jul 23 17:43:07 * Morgan shakes his head Jul 23 17:44:00 Are you going public now? She’s obviously pregnant in that dress Jul 23 17:44:39 I had planned to announce it as soon as father can get a tenants meeting arranged... I think, though,I'll have a word with Reinhardt... Jul 23 17:47:19 * Claudia nods Jul 23 17:47:42 looks like she’s gotten the jump on you Jul 23 17:48:14 Hmmm? Jul 23 17:48:40 Molly’s dress announces it clearly Jul 23 17:48:48 * Morgan nods Jul 23 17:48:50 Yes it does Jul 23 17:51:35 Not my thing, but she looks glowing and happy like that Jul 23 17:54:28 * Morgan nods Jul 23 17:54:37 Yes she does... she's happy to be shouting it to the world Jul 23 18:04:34 You too, I’d wager. Jul 23 18:04:50 * Morgan nods Jul 23 18:04:59 I just... don't want it getting out before we can tell the villagers Jul 23 18:05:33 * Claudia nods Jul 23 18:05:58 Better get Reinhardt telling the staff to keep quiet Jul 23 18:06:07 * Morgan nods, keeping an eye out for him Jul 23 18:06:58 *He finds him just outside the dining room* Jul 23 18:07:51 * Morgan pulls him aside Jul 23 18:09:41 * Claudia is now known as Reinhardt Jul 23 18:09:56 * Reinhardt bows “your Excellency” Jul 23 18:10:38 Reinhardt... certain things are... obvious now... I don't want word reaching the villagers, when we are wanting to announce it ourselves... Jul 23 18:12:07 * Reinhardt nods, impeccably straight-faced “I will remind the staff that discretion is vital for those working here” Jul 23 18:12:24 * Morgan nods Jul 23 18:12:36 I would be grateful... I don't want the villagers feeling we are excluding them Jul 23 18:13:38 of course, your Excellency Jul 23 18:14:06 * Morgan thanks him before going back to the others Jul 23 18:19:18 *they’re in. Jarvie and Grendlik have arrived, Adalbrecht seats Verity, Edward for Mina. Claudia pulls out Uinise’s seat Jul 23 18:20:08 * Morgan smiles, seating Molly then Alice Jul 23 18:21:24 *Adalbrecht smiles at his son’s and daughters in law* Jul 23 18:23:10 Ad: Good evening to you all Jul 23 18:23:28 * Morgan moves to his own place Jul 23 18:26:07 *molly is next to Adalbrecht, then Morgan is between her and Uinise. across from him is Verity, then Edward, then Mina. Grendlik And Jarvie are next, leaving Alice between them and Claudia Jul 23 18:27:07 * Morgan inclines his head Jul 23 18:27:18 father... Jul 23 18:32:30 *they all greet him. Edward looks proud when he looks at Mina. Despite having loved her for more than six years, it is the first time he’s been able to bring her to his Father’s table* Jul 23 18:34:11 * Reinhardt is now known as Adalbrecht Jul 23 18:34:33 Your sons are asleep? Jul 23 18:34:59 * Morgan nods Jul 23 18:35:06 They are, yes Jul 23 18:36:20 * Adalbrecht nods, looking to the head footman. The staff serve up dinner, and Edward and Mina continue to look at each other with lovey-dovey expressions Jul 23 18:36:54 * Morgan watches them for a few moments Jul 23 18:37:26 [they look so happy] Jul 23 18:37:49 * Adalbrecht starts eating so the others can Jul 23 18:38:36 [they do... its the first time Edward has been able to bring her to my fathers table...] Jul 23 18:39:57 *Molly touches her knee to his* [he must have been dreaming of this for so long...] Jul 23 18:41:23 [I would say so] Jul 23 18:42:17 *the others chat about Matthias’ Christening tomorrow* Jul 23 18:42:35 [it is all thanks to you and the mercy you showed them.] Jul 23 18:42:52 [That would not have been needed if not for me] Jul 23 18:43:36 [Be kind to the man I love please. You could have chosen vindictiveness, and most would have.] Jul 23 18:44:14 * Morgan nods a little Jul 23 18:44:19 [I'll try] Jul 23 18:44:30 Father, have you given any thought to when you can call a meeting? Jul 23 18:45:21 * Adalbrecht nods Jul 23 18:45:36 I have . It will be tomorrow at nine Jul 23 18:46:13 * Morgan looks a little surprised, nodding Jul 23 18:50:27 I trust you can make it? We will come straight back for Matthias’ baptism Jul 23 18:50:49 Yes, of course... Jul 23 18:53:43 * Adalbrecht looks to the others Jul 23 18:54:23 I expect you all to attend, we will be introducing the people to all the recent developments of the family Jul 23 18:55:10 There've been developments? Jul 23 18:55:16 *Mina and Alice both look a little uneasy* Jul 23 18:55:54 Emil, Florrie, Matthias, and of course they have not met Mina. Jul 23 18:56:17 * Morgan nods a little Jul 23 18:56:32 And, uhhh.... *he hoiks a thumb at Molly* Jul 23 18:56:48 * Adalbrecht nods Jul 23 18:56:54 Yes, of course Jul 23 18:57:32 We'll discuss it in the morning? Jul 23 18:57:56 * Adalbrecht nods Jul 23 19:00:21 Molly, to Jarvie: When are you going to Freiburg? Jul 23 19:01:08 J: *she grins* Tuesday. I can’t wait. Jul 23 19:02:03 Grendlik: I want to take Matthias to the Orphange, the children want to see my son Jul 23 19:02:13 *the others nod* Jul 23 19:02:41 Uinise: That is the place all the unwanted children go? Jul 23 19:04:22 Grendlik: More often it is children whose parents have died or fallen on hard times, but sometimes we get newborns left on our doorstep Jul 23 19:05:25 Uinise frowns: At home we do not have Orphanages Jul 23 19:05:37 [oh dear...] Jul 23 19:05:54 [oh dear indeed] Jul 23 19:05:59 *Claudia is watching the conversation closely* Jul 23 19:07:42 Grendlik nods sadly: Believe me, my Lady, I wish they were not necessary. But children tend to come along unexpectedly, and many people in Eisen are extremely poor and can not afford to feed them Jul 23 19:08:27 A lingering effect of the war Jul 23 19:08:50 *Uinise nods* Your land is not as fertile anymore. Jul 23 19:09:47 No... and the population has been greatly harmed Jul 23 19:11:20 Uinise: Why are people who cannot afford their babies having them? Jul 23 19:13:01 *Mina looks to Verity, talking at just the right volume to give an out, but not so loud as to look rude* Verity, I wondered what colour you might wear for Lord Zenchlerin’s wedding? Jul 23 19:13:52 *Claudia whispers to Uinise quietly. Her smile to the Capperlucian is gentle, even soft* Jul 23 19:14:35 I'm still arguing to be allowed to wear my uniform Jul 23 19:16:01 V: Would that not be awkward, dear boy? Jul 23 19:16:31 No, it still fits quite well Jul 23 19:18:34 *they laugh* Jul 23 19:19:11 V: You look so handsome in it with your lovely rank bands Jul 23 19:19:29 * Morgan smiles a little Jul 23 19:19:35 I would've liked a couple more... Jul 23 19:21:06 V: We were always proud of you Jul 23 19:21:54 * Adalbrecht nods “I’d have liked you to have had the time to become a Sea Captain” Jul 23 19:22:17 * Morgan nods Jul 23 19:22:24 My own doing Jul 23 19:27:00 *Molly presses her knee to his again* Jul 23 19:28:08 Grendlik: I would have liked to be one too, but alas I never got promoted above the other men in my units, all of whom deserved that accolade *he smiles* Jul 23 19:29:53 * Morgan nods, sipping his drink Jul 23 19:33:39 Edward: I wanted to become a Commander and had my own unit, then gone further up. *he smiles slightly* Though I would have missed precious time spent with Mina had the War run on. Jul 23 19:34:55 *Mina smiles at this. Morgan notices her finger brush the side of her glass in that beckoning motion, and Edward inclining his head slightly to her* Jul 23 19:35:17 * Morgan smiles a little, looking at his father Jul 23 19:35:30 What about you, father? Did you wish to progress further? Jul 23 19:36:48 * Adalbrecht shakes his head Jul 23 19:37:27 No, what I wanted was to be the Graf of my ancestral lands without that distraction Jul 23 19:37:43 * Morgan nods Jul 23 19:39:51 Verity: That was why your Father retired once you were both at War. Jul 23 19:40:29 Oh, I thought perhaps he decided to leave the fighting to the experts... Jul 23 19:40:46 * Adalbrecht chuckles Jul 23 19:42:08 [Interesting that it took less than eighteen months from your Father leaving the War for it to be over, hmm?] Jul 23 19:42:55 [I might point that out] Jul 23 19:44:45 [brave, my love] Jul 23 19:45:16 [I've been known to take the occasional dangerous path...] Jul 23 19:47:10 [is that a euphemism, my love?] *she smiles slightly, sipping her wine* Jul 23 19:47:22 * Morgan blushes a little, looking down at his food Jul 23 19:47:38 [it wasn't] Jul 23 19:48:43 V: I was very relieved to have him home, but having my two boys somewhere out there facing all that danger was never easy Jul 23 19:51:27 * Morgan nods Jul 23 19:53:48 *Molly looks at her glass a few moments, but is soon distracted by the returning talk of what to wear to the wedding. Jul 23 19:55:05 V: You will want something lightweight, Molly dear. Being with child in the summer months is more difficult than through the Autumn Jul 23 19:56:19 *Molly nods* I was thinking of something very thin and cool, something with some movement to it so it will not feel too clinging Jul 23 19:56:29 C: $unlike you!$ Jul 23 19:57:16 [you wish me to be clinging?] Jul 23 20:00:23 [Oh I eagerly anticipate plenty of stolen moments with you...] Jul 23 20:00:41 * Morgan smiles a little Jul 23 20:01:21 *Verity nods* Alice, how did you manage with the heat? Edward and Florrie’s birthdays are only twenty days apart Jul 23 20:01:53 *Alice looks surprised* I didn’t know that. Jul 23 20:02:17 *Verity nods* And Molly’s is in between, of course. Jul 23 20:03:04 Adalbrecht: That might be a good time to gather together again Jul 23 20:03:29 [No Golden Lantern for my birthday this year, my love!] Jul 23 20:03:45 [no, it seems not] Jul 23 20:04:03 [Our garden should be ready in a few weeks though...] Jul 23 20:04:45 [hopefully, yes] Jul 23 20:05:16 *they discuss this possibility, though nothing is settled upon. Before long it is time for the ladies to withdraw. Verity stands* We will leave you gentleman to your port and cigars Jul 23 20:06:33 * Morgan stands Jul 23 20:08:17 *Molly goes with the others. Adalbrecht offers them cigars, but neither Grendlik nor Edward accept, and Adalbrecht looks surprised at the latter* Jul 23 20:08:47 Ed: I have given up the cigars, Father Jul 23 20:08:51 Why? Jul 23 20:09:05 Ed: Mimi asked that I would Jul 23 20:09:16 Pixies eat the ends of them, the mess is unbelievable Jul 23 20:09:37 *this makes them laugh* Jul 23 20:10:22 Why would you give them up just because she asked? Are you finding you also have a more spirited wife than you expected? Jul 23 20:12:41 * Morgan watches Edward Jul 23 20:14:34 Ed: Not at all. Mina is just as perfect as I pictured she would be as my wife and helpmeet. However, she brought her wish to me, and I had no good reason to turn down her request Jul 23 20:15:48 * Adalbrecht lights his cigar “I recall a time when ladies did not suggest their husbands changed their behaviours Jul 23 20:17:37 There was a time paying to be allowed to commit a sin was the standard view for everyone... Jul 23 20:20:09 * Adalbrecht inclines his head Jul 23 20:20:16 A fair point, my son Jul 23 20:20:43 [my love, Alice wondered when you want to take her out on the lake] Jul 23 20:21:38 Will you gentlemen excuse me? I promised Alice I would show her the lake Jul 23 20:23:56 * Adalbrecht nods Jul 23 20:25:50 [I'll show her now love] Jul 23 20:25:59 * Morgan inclines his head before heading off to find Alice Jul 23 20:27:04 *Alice is in the drawing room, and he collects her without incident* Jul 23 20:27:08 * Adalbrecht is now known as Alice Jul 23 20:27:38 * Morgan takes a circuitous route so Alice doesn't see the glowing lake through a window Jul 23 20:27:53 * Alice waits til they’re alone before she says “are you sure this is okay?” Jul 23 20:28:04 Why wouldn't it be? Jul 23 20:28:26 That’s a very tight dress your pregnant wife is wearing *she smirks* Jul 23 20:29:02 Don't remind me, I've been trying to ignore it... besides... the edge was taken off earlier... Jul 23 20:29:45 * Alice laughs Jul 23 20:30:13 how did you manage that? Jul 23 20:30:39 * Morgan smiles Jul 23 20:31:29 We stole away for a few minutes... Jul 23 20:31:47 * Alice nods Jul 23 20:33:15 what sort of boat is it? Jul 23 20:33:24 Just a little rowing boat Jul 23 20:36:08 * Morgan pushes his way through a door onto the grass, the glowing lake beyond it Jul 23 20:37:57 *What he also manages to do, aside from revealing the ethereal blue glow is to hit DeeDee in the face with the door Jul 23 20:38:09 Wow, it’s incredible! Jul 23 20:38:22 *DeeDee winces loudly* Jul 23 20:38:43 Damn... sorry DeeDee... are you alright? Jul 23 20:41:32 *DeeDee moves into the light, where Morgan can see his bottom lip is split and bleeding* Yes, my Lord, just a little knock Jul 23 20:42:05 Ah damn... Jul 23 20:42:42 * Alice is watching DeeDee “I think... do you need a ummm handkerchief?” Jul 23 20:44:09 *he gently touches his fingers to his lip, wincing again, then looks at the blood on them* Ah. No, I do have one somewhere... Jul 23 20:44:25 Go find Molly,she'll have that sorted quickly Jul 23 20:45:07 *DeeDee inclines his head* Will she be in the drawing room? Jul 23 20:45:13 She will, yes Jul 23 20:45:53 *DeeDee nods, going back out the way he came, which will get him there quicker than through the house* Jul 23 20:46:06 * Alice glances at Morgan briefly Jul 23 20:46:15 * Morgan looks toward the lake Jul 23 20:46:20 Do -you- need a minute? Jul 23 20:46:54 No, I’m... *she takes a deep breath* I’m fine. Let’s go Jul 23 20:47:14 * Morgan smirks at her before setting off for the shoreline Jul 23 20:47:23 * Alice follows Jul 23 20:47:41 I suppose that’s justice for needling you Jul 23 20:47:58 * Morgan chuckles Jul 23 20:48:01 Just a little, yes... Jul 23 20:49:06 * Alice nods Jul 23 20:50:53 The difference is that you can do something about it later Jul 23 20:51:11 Again... assuming she isn't asleep... Jul 23 20:51:58 why don’t you just wake her up with it? Sorry, that’s too personal Jul 23 20:52:50 Thats complicated... a part of it is knowing she needs her rest Jul 23 20:54:02 * Alice nods, heading towards the boat whilst looking at the lake Jul 23 20:54:11 It wouldn’t be welcomed then? Jul 23 20:54:30 Oh, it absolutely would... Jul 23 20:57:15 Sometimes something happens in a woman’s past that makes that sort of thing unpleasant Jul 23 20:57:36 You are speaking from experience? Jul 23 20:59:57 No, but I always carry a knife just in case Jul 23 21:00:24 Even here? Jul 23 21:03:34 I have it in my bag. I carry it when I travel, you just don’t know when you might find trouble Jul 23 21:03:51 * Morgan nods Jul 23 21:03:55 Thats very true... Jul 23 21:05:51 * Alice nods Jul 23 21:05:59 I haven’t had to use it often Jul 23 21:06:24 * Morgan nods Jul 23 21:06:33 That you've had to at all is terrible Jul 23 21:07:19 I could teach you a couple of things... Jul 23 21:08:24 * Alice smiles “I can give a good throat punch” Jul 23 21:08:57 * Morgan nods, touching his thumb behind his jaw bone Jul 23 21:09:35 Dig a finger in here, yank forward... it'll take them a good three or four hours for the pain to wear off and its... its quite debilitating Jul 23 21:11:10 * Alice nods Jul 23 21:11:20 I hope I never need to, but thank you Jul 23 21:12:15 * Morgan nods, looking at the lake Jul 23 21:12:40 This has been a fact of my life... but I'm still drawn to staring at it Jul 23 21:14:32 * Alice nods Jul 23 21:14:49 Hard to believe something like that exists. What causes it? Jul 23 21:15:06 No idea... probably something to do with the monsters in it Jul 23 21:17:21 What sort of monsters? Jul 23 21:17:39 [did someone hit DeeDee in the face?] Jul 23 21:17:42 * Morgan shrugs, getting to the boat and moving it further into the water Jul 23 21:17:47 [I might have] Jul 23 21:17:58 Something with tentacles probably Jul 23 21:19:20 [why?!] Jul 23 21:19:34 Are you sure it’s safe? Jul 23 21:19:40 [He was stood right behind the door I was opening] Jul 23 21:19:59 Long as you stay in the boat, aye... I wouldn't put you in danger Jul 23 21:20:07 [oh! I wondered if maybe he’d been kissing Alice again] Jul 23 21:20:24 [no, just an unfortunate bit of timing] Jul 23 21:20:30 * Alice nods, getting ready to get in Jul 23 21:20:43 [Alright, my love] Jul 23 21:20:57 *his neck prickles a little* Jul 23 21:21:19 * Morgan holds the boat steady for her Jul 23 21:22:41 * Alice climbs in easily, a sailor through and through Jul 23 21:23:18 * Morgan gets in, taking up the oars, setting them moving Jul 23 21:25:57 * Alice looks around Jul 23 21:26:17 the monsters are why you don’t swim in it? Jul 23 21:26:28 * Morgan nods Jul 23 21:26:57 Don't even paddle... bit unfair, isn't it? My love to sailing and swimming and there's this massive body of water that I cant even dip a toe in Jul 23 21:27:50 In the day time it looked perfect Jul 23 21:28:26 * Morgan nods Jul 23 21:28:39 Couldn't tell at all... its why the curtains are so heavy... Jul 23 21:50:17 * Alice has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jul 23 21:51:07 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Jul 23 21:51:42 Couldn't tell at all... its why the curtains are so heavy... Jul 23 21:52:02 * Molly is now known as Alice Jul 23 21:52:14 It’s look like an Aurora otherwise Jul 23 21:52:31 * Morgan nods a little Jul 23 21:52:34 I suppose it does Jul 23 21:52:41 * Morgan rows their way across the water Jul 23 21:54:11 * Alice leans back a little, looking up at the stars Jul 23 21:54:37 Some people do this and don’t start doing mathematics in their heads... Jul 23 21:54:55 So I'm told Jul 23 21:57:37 All the math I know came from my godfather teaching me to sail Jul 23 21:57:51 * Morgan smiles Jul 23 21:58:06 We had tutors but most of mine was taught at the academy Jul 23 22:00:20 * Alice nods Jul 23 22:00:35 I got a more hands-on education Jul 23 22:00:51 * Morgan nods Jul 23 22:01:07 Born into war, we were taught to fight early, amongst other things... Jul 23 22:02:05 * Alice nods “Will that be the end of it, or do you think the War could restart?” Jul 23 22:02:12 * Morgan shrugs Jul 23 22:02:40 I hope its the end of it.. there's still a lot of distrust and hurt though... hell, even I catch myself slipping into old prejudices now and then Jul 23 22:03:07 * Alice nods Jul 23 22:03:28 it’s hard to let go Jul 23 22:04:32 * Morgan nods Jul 23 22:04:57 It is. I'll draw you a map of the night sky in Capperlucia... it'll blow your stockings off Jul 23 22:05:52 * Alice laughs Jul 23 22:06:10 I don’t wear them anyway Jul 23 22:06:37 Cant say I'd noticed... Jul 23 22:08:26 * Alice laughs again Jul 23 22:08:44 I’d be worried if you did Jul 23 22:08:49 Oh? Jul 23 22:09:25 you’d have to be going around peeping up women’s dresses to notice that Jul 23 22:10:13 Much too shy and well behaved for that Jul 23 22:11:06 That’s good. Decent men are hard to find Jul 23 22:12:08 * Morgan shrugs Jul 23 22:12:17 I've been lucky in being surrounded by them my entire life Jul 23 22:13:23 * Alice nods Jul 23 22:13:38 A pity you’re all married! Jul 23 22:14:49 You'd have felt stifled by it all... your heart needs freedom Jul 23 22:15:48 * Alice nods Jul 23 22:16:07 it does Jul 23 22:16:23 * Morgan sighs Jul 23 22:16:58 My father likes to tell this story of when I was younger than Varick, clinging to the mainmast of a ship, screaming that I wanted to stay on board... Jul 23 22:17:38 * Alice nods Jul 23 22:17:46 it never leaves you Jul 23 22:17:53 No... it doesn't Jul 23 22:20:09 You’re always all welcome to come to Morgan’s Rock and I’ll help look after the children so you can sail a bit Jul 23 22:20:31 * Morgan smiles Jul 23 22:20:43 I appreciate that... I don't know it'll be possible though Jul 23 22:21:24 * Alice nods Jul 23 22:21:42 the offer’s always there Jul 23 22:22:32 /me nods Jul 23 22:24:24 * Alice sits quietly a little while, enjoying the movement of the water and the stars above Jul 23 22:30:32 * Morgan stows the oars, leaning back Jul 23 22:30:56 How are you feeling about tomorrow? Jul 23 22:32:25 * Alice sighs Jul 23 22:32:32 It’s going to be hard Jul 23 22:32:59 * Morgan nods Jul 23 22:33:13 Yes, it is... a lot of the people knew my daughter and will likely find it... difficult Jul 23 22:34:46 * Alice nods Jul 23 22:34:56 And Florrie will find the attention tough Jul 23 22:35:32 * Morgan nods Jul 23 22:35:47 Aye, she will... she'll probably want the rest of the morning just quiet... Jul 23 22:36:48 I’ll see how she is Jul 23 22:37:12 * Morgan nods Jul 23 22:37:39 The Veisgraf wing will be fairly quiet afterwards Jul 23 22:38:39 * Alice nods Jul 23 22:39:02 I don’t look forward to the way people will judge me Jul 23 22:40:01 Well... my father has it in mind to describe you as an ex mistress I think... not exactly uncommon... Jul 23 22:40:23 * Alice nods Jul 23 22:40:52 I can go along with the ruse, but I’ll still be judged Jul 23 22:41:26 I'm sorry. I imagine, though, the worst will be Martha... she has very... firm beliefs Jul 23 22:42:36 * Alice nods Jul 23 22:42:50 She made it clear at Hafenlohr that she doesn’t approve of me Jul 23 22:43:12 * Morgan nods Jul 23 22:43:18 I did tell her to keep it to herself Jul 23 22:44:14 * Alice nods Jul 23 22:44:47 thanks Jul 23 22:45:49 I love her dearly but she can be a right judgemental baggage Jul 23 22:46:19 * Alice laughs Jul 23 22:47:05 I’ll just stay out of her way where I can Jul 23 22:47:50 Probably easiest... *he sighs* I'm finding it a little difficult... Jul 23 22:48:48 Me having had sex with your brother? Jul 23 22:49:02 * Morgan blinks, lifting his head to look at her Jul 23 22:49:08 Why would I be finding that difficult? Jul 23 22:50:28 I don’t know, that’s just what we were talking about Jul 23 22:51:09 * Morgan smiles a little, laying his head back Jul 23 22:51:45 No... having Florrie here... I caught sight of myself carrying her to Edward earlier... looking as she does in the house that Jana was never accepted in... it... hurt. Jul 23 22:52:48 Have you forgiven them all for it? Jul 23 22:53:05 * Morgan nods Jul 23 22:53:28 I have... we all could have done things differently, and I know they regret it all... Jul 23 22:56:18 That’s something at least Jul 23 22:56:46 * Morgan nods Jul 23 22:57:08 My friend Stef says sometimes the grief creeps up on you Jul 23 22:57:49 * Alice nods Jul 23 22:58:30 I’d say she’s right Jul 23 22:58:46 * Morgan nods Jul 23 22:58:48 She usually is Jul 23 23:01:21 I could take Florrie somewhere else if you need me to Jul 23 23:02:39 Absolutely not. I'm not having her feel pushed out after she's come so far Jul 23 23:03:52 * Alice nods Jul 23 23:03:56 Alright Jul 23 23:04:29 Besides... its nice having someone around who understands my love of sailing Jul 23 23:05:41 * Alice nods Jul 23 23:05:50 Molly’s cousin gets it too Jul 23 23:05:58 * Morgan nods Jul 23 23:06:19 Yes... but, aside from being quite alike, we aren't... we aren't as close as you and I Jul 23 23:07:45 no, true Jul 23 23:08:36 * Morgan smiles, sitting up Jul 23 23:08:43 I half expected you to contradict me there... Jul 23 23:09:03 Why? Jul 23 23:09:45 I don't know... maybe you don't feel we are particularly close... Jul 23 23:10:45 I do Jul 23 23:11:03 * Morgan smiles Jul 23 23:11:20 I'm glad... god knows I'm not this open with many... and even thats a new thing Jul 23 23:12:39 * Alice nods Jul 23 23:13:16 Me either. Jul 23 23:13:40 Why me? Jul 23 23:15:43 Because of how you are with Florrie Jul 23 23:16:04 I don't understand Jul 23 23:16:39 I knew I could trust you because you were so good with her Jul 23 23:17:18 I'm glad you feel that way Jul 23 23:18:06 I do. I trust you a great deal Jul 23 23:18:33 * Morgan smiles, looking touched Jul 23 23:19:56 I hope you feel the same Jul 23 23:20:10 * Morgan nods Jul 23 23:20:12 I absolutely do Jul 23 23:20:38 * Alice smiles “Even that I won’t be going looking to see if DeeDee is still bleeding?” Jul 23 23:21:03 If the fallout wouldn't be so bad, I'd say all bets were off... Jul 23 23:21:13 * Alice laughs Jul 23 23:21:35 If he wasn’t my daughter’s father’s friend... Jul 23 23:22:06 * Morgan nods Jul 23 23:22:33 He's a handsome man... and a very -good- man... Jul 23 23:23:02 * Alice nods Jul 23 23:23:35 But because of Edward, we’d both regret it the next morning Jul 23 23:23:43 * Morgan nods Jul 23 23:23:46 Yes, you would Jul 23 23:24:24 Between you and I... he's had a thing for Claudia for years Jul 23 23:26:30 * Alice nods “I’ve seen him looking at her on occasions. I wouldn’t want to get in the way of anything. I don’t really want an actual relationship right now...” Jul 23 23:26:46 * Morgan opens his mouth before slamming it shut Jul 23 23:27:24 * Alice laughs Jul 23 23:27:50 Just good sex, is that what you were going to say? Jul 23 23:28:10 No... I was going to say something about a barn door in a storm... Jul 23 23:28:57 * Alice nods Jul 23 23:29:08 That’d be great. Jul 23 23:29:16 * Morgan laughs, blushing Jul 23 23:31:29 * Alice laughs Jul 23 23:32:18 Sometimes I even think I should have accepted Edward’s proposal just for that Jul 23 23:33:49 Not sure it'd have been worth shackling yourself to him for that... Jul 23 23:34:43 Oh I don’t know about that... *she chuckles* Jul 23 23:55:14 * Alice has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
