**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Aug 12 19:25:40 2024 Aug 12 19:25:40 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Aug 12 19:26:09 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Aug 12 19:28:10 Yes, I think that is acceptable. You and Molly have your own rooms in the Veisgraf Wing, just as your Mother and I had in our early marital year’s Aug 12 19:28:10 * Morgan nods Aug 12 19:28:10 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 12 19:28:10 I think it is time we all retired if Jarvinia is so determined to leave very early Aug 12 19:28:10 * Morgan nods Aug 12 19:28:13 Yes father Aug 12 19:28:15 * Adalbrecht leads to the drawing room. Goodnights are said, and everyone goes their own way. This means Alice will be going with Molly and Morgan all the way back to the Veisgraf Wing. Molly smiles at him Aug 12 19:28:17 * Adalbrecht is now known as Molly Aug 12 19:28:19 [can you risk me on your arm, my love?] Aug 12 19:28:21 [I'll manage] Aug 12 19:28:23 * Molly takes his arm. It’s fortunate the women talk to each other, because she is definitely a distraction both in her scent and the way her dress sits Aug 12 19:30:07 Alice: *she looks to Morgan* did Edward like your sketches? Aug 12 19:30:32 Not... terribly. Aug 12 19:30:46 Alice: why not? Aug 12 19:31:50 He never knew my daughter... all he could see was what I lost Aug 12 19:32:25 * Molly subtly squeezes his arm Aug 12 19:32:38 Alice: That’s a shame Aug 12 19:32:48 * Morgan nods Aug 12 19:32:51 Yes, it really is Aug 12 19:33:50 Alice: He should try harder Aug 12 19:34:38 I'm sure he will Aug 12 19:35:45 *Alice nods* he should have that sense of Florrie Aug 12 19:36:20 That'd be the ideal but... its not entirely necessary, he already loves her Aug 12 19:36:42 *She nods* he does Aug 12 19:37:36 * Morgan nods Aug 12 19:38:36 *it takes a little while to get there, And then it’s time to say goodnight to Alice Aug 12 19:39:46 Sleep well love Aug 12 19:40:18 * Molly lets him go to hug Alice Aug 12 19:40:35 A: goodnight both of you Aug 12 19:41:19 * Morgan moves to hug her before letting her go Aug 12 19:41:49 *Alice smiles, going into her room Aug 12 19:42:36 * Molly looks at him Aug 12 19:42:51 Would you like to sit in the parlour and talk a while? Aug 12 19:43:01 If you like... Aug 12 19:43:44 Only if that is what you need right now? Aug 12 19:44:16 * Morgan shrugs a little Aug 12 19:44:52 * Molly offers him her hand Aug 12 19:45:01 Come, let me pour you a drink... Aug 12 19:45:45 * Morgan nods, taking her hand Aug 12 19:47:46 * Molly leads him into the parlour. There’s only one candle lit, no fire in the grate as it’s warm enough. She takes him to the couch and urges him to sit Aug 12 19:48:32 * Morgan sits down Aug 12 19:49:28 * Molly moves to pour him Drambuie before she brings it to him Aug 12 19:49:55 Thank you Aug 12 19:50:49 * Molly sits close beside him, and undoes her shoes Aug 12 19:50:57 It didn’t go well? Aug 12 19:52:02 * Morgan sighs Aug 12 19:52:05 No... no it didn't Aug 12 19:52:37 * Molly kicks them off before stroking his arm Aug 12 19:52:42 Are you alright? Aug 12 19:52:53 * Morgan nods a little, taking a mouthful of drink Aug 12 19:52:55 Aye Aug 12 19:54:38 * Molly watches him Aug 12 19:55:03 You are sure? It is alright not to be, my love. You’re safe with me. Aug 12 19:55:46 I so wanted him to see what a beautiful little girl Florrie was... Aug 12 19:56:20 * Molly nods Aug 12 19:56:30 Of course Aug 12 19:58:49 But he couldn't see it Aug 12 20:01:18 What did he see? Aug 12 20:01:50 The earliest ones... then one later where she looked more like Florrie does now Aug 12 20:03:43 I meant what does he -see- when he looks at them Aug 12 20:04:25 He sees... a beautiful little girl he had murdered Aug 12 20:07:00 * Molly nods solemnly Aug 12 20:07:29 I can see why it would be hard to see past Aug 12 20:07:50 * Morgan nods Aug 12 20:07:52 aye Aug 12 20:10:50 he feels very guilty again tonight? Aug 12 20:11:22 * Morgan nods Aug 12 20:11:24 Yes, he does Aug 12 20:12:49 It’s hurting you? Aug 12 20:14:07 * Morgan nods a little Aug 12 20:14:10 I'll be alright Aug 12 20:16:21 I know you will, my love, but I yearn to understand you... what does his response make you think and feel? Aug 12 20:17:55 I just... I had hoped he could see the joy in it... Aug 12 20:18:30 * Molly nods Aug 12 20:19:03 That is understandable Aug 12 20:19:28 * Morgan nods Aug 12 20:19:29 Its sad Aug 12 20:20:02 * Molly nods Aug 12 20:20:11 He has got to let go. Aug 12 20:20:44 * Morgan nods Aug 12 20:20:47 Yes, he has Aug 12 20:21:56 He did something awful, but by not letting go he is harming everyone around him still. Hurting you more is not how he can absolve himself Aug 12 20:22:22 He didn't wish to hurt me... Aug 12 20:24:21 No, but sometimes our actions and our intentions do not align Aug 12 20:24:33 * Morgan nods Aug 12 20:24:34 Aye Aug 12 20:28:58 would you have me show him? Aug 12 20:29:36 I dont see why that would help Aug 12 20:31:41 Just to save you pain, my love Aug 12 20:32:34 Perhaps. I'll suggest it to him. Aug 12 20:32:51 * Molly nods Aug 12 20:33:08 what will you do about the graves? Aug 12 20:35:18 He still wishes to visit them Aug 12 20:35:41 is that wise? Aug 12 20:36:32 * Morgan shrugs Aug 12 20:36:38 It is his choice. He feels it important Aug 12 20:37:30 * Molly nods Aug 12 20:37:37 You’ll take him? Aug 12 20:38:07 * Morgan nods Aug 12 20:38:08 I will, yes Aug 12 20:42:01 * Molly nods Aug 12 20:42:13 Will you tell them about Hirschen then? Aug 12 20:43:29 * Morgan nods Aug 12 20:43:32 Yes, I think so Aug 12 20:43:49 You are reluctant? Aug 12 20:44:05 * Morgan shakes his head a little Aug 12 20:45:42 I still find it difficult to talk to them Aug 12 20:45:58 * Molly nods a little Aug 12 20:46:03 alright, my love Aug 12 20:49:26 * Morgan sighs, taking a mouthful of drambuie Aug 12 20:50:43 *It tastes as it always does, vaguely of her skin* Aug 12 20:50:59 Usually I take them flowers when we are here Aug 12 20:51:07 * Morgan nods Aug 12 20:51:12 I think I will do that Aug 12 20:52:51 * Molly nods Aug 12 20:52:58 That’d be nice Aug 12 20:53:12 * Morgan nods Aug 12 20:53:17 Aye Aug 12 20:55:33 * Molly nods Aug 12 20:55:43 Some roses, perhaps Aug 12 20:55:51 You think so? Aug 12 20:58:30 * Molly nods, smiling Aug 12 20:58:37 They symbolise love Aug 12 20:58:50 You would not find that painful? Aug 12 20:59:37 * Molly smiles, perplexed Aug 12 20:59:43 why would I, my love? Aug 12 20:59:49 * Morgan shrugs a little Aug 12 21:01:03 * Molly strokes his arm Aug 12 21:01:20 I’ve never asked you not to love them, nor would I Aug 12 21:02:02 * Morgan nods Aug 12 21:02:08 Sorry... its just a little... raw tonight Aug 12 21:02:22 * Molly nods Aug 12 21:02:45 It’s alright, my love Aug 12 21:05:46 * Molly watches him a moment before tentatively moving into his lap and embracing him Aug 12 21:06:07 * Morgan puts the drink down, wrapping his arms around her Aug 12 21:06:39 * Molly kisses his forehead and holds him tight Aug 12 21:08:30 * Morgan sighs Aug 12 21:08:33 I'll be alright Aug 12 21:08:49 You will, my love, but this is as much for me as for you. Aug 12 21:09:02 * Morgan nods Aug 12 21:09:03 alright Aug 12 21:10:09 * Molly keeps cuddling him quietly before she makes a little “oh!l sound Aug 12 21:10:53 What? Aug 12 21:11:03 He’s moving Aug 12 21:11:15 * Morgan nods Aug 12 21:14:01 * Molly takes one of his hands, putting it on the lower centre of her stomach “just here” Aug 12 21:14:27 * Morgan nods, holding his hand there Aug 12 21:14:48 * Molly lays her hand over his Aug 12 21:14:53 Your son... Aug 12 21:15:09 * Morgan nods, rubbing his thumb over her belly Aug 12 21:15:45 * Molly smiles Aug 12 21:15:54 I can feel you move and him move Aug 12 21:16:16 * Morgan nods Aug 12 21:16:22 Sadly I cannot Aug 12 21:17:00 no... soon though. By the wedding, I’d think Aug 12 21:17:05 * Morgan nods Aug 12 21:17:08 I look forward to it Aug 12 21:21:00 me too, my love. Then we will spend lazy, happy hours in our garden whilst you play with your son Aug 12 21:21:10 * Morgan nods Aug 12 21:21:14 Aye Aug 12 21:23:28 * Molly nods, tucking her forehead against his neck Aug 12 21:26:22 * Morgan sighs Aug 12 21:26:59 how can I help you, my love? Aug 12 21:27:14 I'm alright love Aug 12 21:27:24 then why do you sigh? Aug 12 21:28:15 I'd just like it to be easy for a while Aug 12 21:28:32 * Molly nods Aug 12 21:28:50 I wish you could just live happily now Aug 12 21:29:39 * Morgan nods Aug 12 21:29:40 Me too Aug 12 21:30:16 * Molly nods, holding tighter Aug 12 21:31:03 Oh well... nothing can be done about it right now Aug 12 21:32:06 No, there is not Aug 12 21:34:11 * Morgan nods, resting his cheek on her head Aug 12 21:35:12 * Molly stays like that a few minutes before she says “I think I will retire, if you do not mind...” Aug 12 21:36:08 No, thats fine love Aug 12 21:36:32 Are you coming? Aug 12 21:36:49 * Morgan nods Aug 12 21:36:50 Aye Aug 12 21:37:11 * Molly nods, getting off him Aug 12 21:37:34 * Morgan finishes his drink before standing Aug 12 21:39:24 * Molly goes to prepare for bed. The curtains are open, and he can see the glow of the lake Aug 12 21:40:34 * Morgan watches the lake for a few minutes before undressing Aug 12 21:41:25 * Molly watches him, starting to remove the pink negligee she still had on from earlier Aug 12 21:41:56 * Morgan stretches, looking down at the scarring on his arms Aug 12 21:42:34 * Molly gets into the bed “Are they bothering you?” Aug 12 21:42:54 * Morgan shrugs Aug 12 21:43:04 Its just... being here I suppose, facing it all Aug 12 21:43:16 * Molly nods Aug 12 21:43:27 It was bound to be hard Aug 12 21:43:55 * Morgan nods, flexing the muscles in his forearms a moment before rolling his shoulders Aug 12 21:44:34 * Molly watches him, blushing a little. She covers herself with the sheets Aug 12 21:45:26 * Morgan sheds the rest of his clothes before climbing into bed Aug 12 21:46:18 * Molly turns to her side to gently kiss his cheek Aug 12 21:47:11 * Morgan takes a couple of deep breaths, closing his eyes Aug 12 21:47:38 goodnight, my love Aug 12 21:48:27 * Morgan nods a little Aug 12 21:48:31 I love you blossom Aug 12 21:48:43 I love you too, liebes herz Aug 12 21:48:58 * Morgan nods, putting his hand on her stomach, laying still Aug 12 21:49:13 * Molly tries to relax Aug 12 21:49:19 Shall I sing? Aug 12 21:49:25 * Morgan nods Aug 12 21:49:26 Please Aug 12 21:52:44 * Molly does so. He falls asleep quite quickly, and at first he dreams of their wedding day, being so nervous that he’d not even gotten within her before spending all over her womanhood, and the white sheet that everyone is waiting to see with the proof of her lost virginity on it. He wakes with that anxiety and embarrassment Aug 12 21:53:30 * Morgan frowns for a few moments before checking the time Aug 12 21:54:09 *he’s only been asleep an hour. Molly is asleep on her side, they must have rolled away from each other* Aug 12 21:54:28 * Morgan sighs, curling up behind her, trying to get back to sleep Aug 12 21:55:36 * Molly sighs happily, pressing back against him Aug 12 21:57:39 * Morgan smiles a little, trying to go back to sleep Aug 12 21:59:23 *He manages it, slipping into her dream. He sees her in the gardens at Insel, the grey in her hair the same as in the frequent thread he’s seen here. She’s stood in an open space, blindfolded Aug 12 22:00:05 * Morgan looks down at his hands Aug 12 22:01:14 *He can’t see himself, as is normal here* Aug 12 22:01:43 * Morgan nods, looking around Aug 12 22:02:08 *Seb calls to her from behind a wall* Ready, Elritzelein? Aug 12 22:02:40 * Molly smiles, calling that she is Aug 12 22:03:41 * Morgan watches her, confused Aug 12 22:04:19 *there’s a clacking, and several pigeons are released into the sky* Aug 12 22:04:40 * Morgan looks up at the pigeons Aug 12 22:05:32 *They fly in different directions before one by one they drop dead from the sky* Aug 12 22:05:42 woah Aug 12 22:05:58 * Molly is now known as Madchen Aug 12 22:06:09 * Madchen touches his leg Aug 12 22:06:20 * Morgan smiles, looking down Aug 12 22:06:26 Se; Excellent! Good girl! Aug 12 22:06:47 *Madchen smiles* Hi Vati Aug 12 22:06:59 Hello my darling Aug 12 22:09:18 *Madchen lifts up her arms. In his peripheral vision, he sees Seb approach Molly, who is still blindfolded Aug 12 22:09:46 * Morgan picks her up, kissing her cheek Aug 12 22:09:51 Missed you little lady Aug 12 22:10:39 *Madchen smiles* Miss you, Vati Aug 12 22:11:34 * Morgan holds one of her hands in his, looking at her closely Aug 12 22:12:42 * Madchen looks pleased to see him. in the background, Seb gets to Molly, a hand on her lower back Aug 12 22:13:01 They seem happier Aug 12 22:13:38 * Madchen nods, looking just in time to see Seb kiss her Aug 12 22:13:42 happier. Aug 12 22:14:57 * Morgan nods Aug 12 22:15:29 Practicing Aug 12 22:15:47 * Morgan nods Aug 12 22:15:49 Thats important Aug 12 22:16:13 *But it doesn’t look like practicing out in the garden, it looks like the infidelity has been well and truly put aside* Aug 12 22:16:34 Shall we go for a walk little one? Aug 12 22:16:44 * Madchen nods Aug 12 22:17:07 Go walk, want see Jana? Aug 12 22:17:24 * Morgan nods a little Aug 12 22:17:28 I think so Aug 12 22:18:05 All got to stay away when Mama practice with birds Aug 12 22:18:24 Too dangerous to be nearby huh Aug 12 22:18:33 * Madchen nods Aug 12 22:18:39 Mama very strong Aug 12 22:18:48 * Morgan nods Aug 12 22:18:50 Doesn't surprise me Aug 12 22:20:08 * Madchen directs him around the house. He sees Jana and Tomas playing with little Heinzharold, Morgan, and Sonnenshien, who is now a toddler here Aug 12 22:21:05 * Morgan sighs Aug 12 22:22:06 They happy. They practice too Aug 12 22:22:31 Oh? Aug 12 22:23:03 Boys do water. Aug 12 22:23:11 * Morgan nods Aug 12 22:23:19 Thought so when I saw them in the bath one time Aug 12 22:43:48 * Madchen has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Aug 12 23:26:47 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
