Adalbrecht watches Morgan “You just get on with it, and keep in mind the people you’re doing it for” Aug 16 20:47:02 * Morgan nods Aug 16 20:47:02 Yes, you do Aug 16 20:47:02 *He gets given his tea. It’s nice at home, but the day goes so quickly until it’s soon time for him to go to bed* Aug 16 20:47:03 * Morgan kisses his mothers cheek, bidding his parents goodnight Aug 16 20:47:05 *They say goodnight to him. His room is just as it was when he last stayed in it a long time ago now* Aug 16 20:47:08 * Morgan spends a few minutes writing to Mina, telling her how much he misses and loves her, hoping he will be able to see her soon and asking her to take care of herself before getting ready for bed Aug 16 20:47:11 *He finds himself very much at a lose end alone in his childhood bed with the blue glow from the lake illuminating his ceiling* Aug 16 20:47:16 * Morgan fidgets so he can see the lake Aug 16 20:47:18 *it looks quite still tonight. More than a week away from him, Mina must be settling down herself tonight in her own childhood bed, where he’s made love to her nowhere near as much as he wishes he could have done Aug 16 20:47:20 God I miss you Aug 16 20:47:43 *there’s nothing but silence* Aug 16 20:47:59 * Morgan tries to get to sleep Aug 16 20:49:52 *He manages it. When he wakes, he packs and rings for coffee. He doesn’t have too long before he has to say goodbye and leave, but he opts for a quick walk on the shore. He spots a lone figure by it* Aug 16 20:50:13 * Morgan frowns, heading toward them Aug 16 20:51:08 *the figure crouches, digging in the pebbles on the shore* Aug 16 20:51:25 * Morgan watches them as he approaches Aug 16 20:54:06 *It seems to be his just-turned-thirteen-year-old cousin Jarvie Aug 16 20:54:25 What're you doing Jarvie? Aug 16 20:54:57 * Molly is now known as Jarvie Aug 16 20:55:13 Hoping to find something Aug 16 20:55:30 like... Aug 16 20:55:36 * Jarvie shrugs Aug 16 20:55:50 Something interesting Aug 16 20:56:37 Best of luck with that... Aug 16 20:56:58 * Jarvie nods Aug 16 20:57:09 Are you escaping now? Aug 16 20:57:24 Not really an escape when its back to fighting Aug 16 20:58:01 At least you get to go anywhere and meet people Aug 16 20:58:20 Usually at the wrong end of a sword Aug 16 20:58:47 You got to go to the Academy. I get to come here or go to Alarice’s Aug 16 20:59:27 But you're -safe- Aug 16 21:00:03 And booooooored! I wish I could come with you and follow the drum Aug 16 21:00:20 * Morgan shakes his head Aug 16 21:00:21 Not happening Aug 16 21:00:40 * Jarvie nods Aug 16 21:00:50 knew you’d say that Aug 16 21:01:28 Got to keep you safe, cuz Aug 16 21:01:51 * Jarvie nods Aug 16 21:02:16 Alarice is pregnant. they told me not to tell you, but I think that’s stupid Aug 16 21:02:29 Oh... Aug 16 21:03:08 I thought you’d want to know rather than find out when she’s suddenly got a baby in a few months Aug 16 21:03:42 * Morgan nods a little Aug 16 21:03:47 Yeah, that'd be unpleasant Aug 16 21:03:52 * Jarvie nods Aug 16 21:04:08 They still want to treat you like a child, like they treat me Aug 16 21:04:19 They're just trying to protect us Aug 16 21:04:34 they’re controlling us Aug 16 21:07:04 * Morgan shrugs Aug 16 21:07:10 I remember thinking that Aug 16 21:07:36 They’re talking about marrying me off now I’m ‘a woman’ Aug 16 21:08:10 Oh? Aug 16 21:08:22 * Jarvie shrugs Aug 16 21:08:31 I’m -never- getting married Aug 16 21:09:14 Oh I dunno Aug 16 21:09:53 * Jarvie shakes her head “I want to live my own life” Aug 16 21:10:17 Rather think I am, being married Aug 16 21:10:54 you’re a boy Aug 16 21:11:05 So? Aug 16 21:11:28 you get to make decisions, not get commands Aug 16 21:12:04 Thats exactly what I do, all day every day Aug 16 21:13:02 I’m still never getting married. I don’t want to be a mother Aug 16 21:14:02 well... I wish you luck in that endeavour... Aug 16 21:14:16 * Jarvie nods Aug 16 21:14:46 I just have to tell a priest it’s against my will and eventually they’ll give up and let me go travel Aug 16 21:16:47 Thought you were brighter than that Aug 16 21:16:56 * Jarvie shoves him Aug 16 21:17:03 shut up. that’s the rules. Aug 16 21:18:12 * Morgan shrugs Aug 16 21:18:18 I met one of those fate witches... Aug 16 21:18:45 that’s much better than being here! Aug 16 21:19:12 She said you were going to marry Grendlik Aug 16 21:19:41 * Jarvie laughs Aug 16 21:20:05 No way! He’s handsome, and I’m just tall Aug 16 21:20:16 Handsome eh? Aug 16 21:20:30 * Jarvie blushes Aug 16 21:20:36 shut up. Aug 16 21:20:49 Maybe I should have asked to bring him with me... Aug 16 21:21:02 No! I don’t want to get married! Aug 16 21:21:28 But he's handsome... Aug 16 21:21:54 Everyone says it Aug 16 21:22:15 Everyone else saying it wouldn't get you blushing... Aug 16 21:22:46 why are you picking on me? Aug 16 21:23:22 * Morgan smiles, moving to put his arm around her Aug 16 21:23:29 Its distracting me from leaving Aug 16 21:23:46 * Jarvie nods Aug 16 21:24:02 you want to stay and I want to go Aug 16 21:24:08 * Morgan nods Aug 16 21:24:45 Its not all its cracked up to be Aug 16 21:25:24 Is the War going to be over soon? Aug 16 21:25:43 Cant say it looks like it from where I am Aug 16 21:26:06 * Jarvie nods Aug 16 21:26:39 They won’t let me go anyway until it’s done Aug 16 21:26:48 No...it isn't safe for you Aug 16 21:27:30 I’m going as soon as I’m old enough. I’m going to ride and sail and explore the world Aug 16 21:27:46 * Morgan nods, sighing Aug 16 21:27:48 Sounds wonderful Aug 16 21:28:29 You won’t do that 5hough, you’ll just go to Graben and I won’t see you for years Aug 16 21:29:31 You -can- visit... Aug 16 21:29:52 * Jarvie smiles Aug 16 21:30:03 Can we go to the mountains?

Aug 16 21:33:46 * Jarvie nods “I have coats” Aug 16 21:35:01 * Morgan nods Aug 16 21:35:07 Lets hope all this nonsense ends soon then Aug 16 21:35:19 * Jarvie nods Aug 16 21:35:46 Edward’s there now, maybe they’ll call a truce so they don’t have to put up with him anymore Aug 16 21:36:16 * Morgan nods Aug 16 21:36:24 Thought he'd be back to the academy... Aug 16 21:37:00 he’s -just- old enough. What’s a brothel? Aug 16 21:38:05 A type of tavern Aug 16 21:38:25 oh Aug 16 21:38:44 Why? Aug 16 21:38:58 Karsten and Alarice were arguing about it Aug 16 21:40:26 Oh? Aug 16 21:41:02 She said he shouldn’t have taken Edward to it Aug 16 21:42:10 Oh.. I see. Aug 16 21:43:02 Is it dangerous? Aug 16 21:43:51 What? Aug 16 21:44:08 the brothel tavern Aug 16 21:44:20 In... in a way Aug 16 21:44:36 * Jarvie nods Aug 16 21:44:42 He shouldn’t go then Aug 16 21:45:29 No, I agree Aug 16 21:45:39 Do you go there? Aug 16 21:47:32 * Morgan shakes his head Aug 16 21:47:35 No, I dont Aug 16 21:48:00 You need to get right though the War, okay? Aug 16 21:48:59 Going to try my very best... Aug 16 21:49:03 * Jarvie nods Aug 16 21:49:18 You can’t leave me with the rest of them, they’re too normal Aug 16 21:50:57 Hang on, you're saying I'm -not- normal?! Aug 16 21:51:04 * Jarvie nods Aug 16 21:51:20 No one knows it except me though Aug 16 21:51:40 How'd you figure?

Aug 16 22:33:32 * Nanette smiles “This is the only one we have” Aug 16 22:35:27 * Morgan nods, setting about making the coffee Aug 16 22:37:05 *He’s not interrupted* Aug 16 22:37:23 * Morgan nods to them before heading outside Aug 16 22:38:23 *He finds Claudia outside swinging a sword around, and DeeDee stood watching her* Aug 16 22:38:50 * Morgan stops, standing utterly still as he watches them Aug 16 22:39:21 *Claudia seems to be showing off a little* Aug 16 22:40:40 * Morgan starts moving toward them Aug 16 22:41:19 *DeeDee inclines him head to Morgan* Aug 16 22:42:38 * Morgan nods to him Aug 16 22:43:02 * Nanette is now known as DeeDee Aug 16 22:43:07 good morning, my Lord Aug 16 22:43:14 Morning Aug 16 22:44:29 Are you well?
