**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Aug 17 09:17:27 2024 Aug 17 09:17:27 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Aug 17 12:35:01 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Aug 17 13:33:59 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Aug 17 13:38:56 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Aug 17 13:40:25 * Morgan nods to them before heading outside Aug 17 13:40:25 *He finds Claudia outside swinging a sword around, and DeeDee stood watching her* Aug 17 13:40:25 * Morgan stops, standing utterly still as he watches them Aug 17 13:40:25 *Claudia seems to be showing off a little* Aug 17 13:40:25 * Morgan starts moving toward them Aug 17 13:40:26 *DeeDee inclines him head to Morgan* Aug 17 13:40:28 * Morgan nods to him Aug 17 13:40:30 * Nanette is now known as DeeDee Aug 17 13:40:34 good morning, my Lord Aug 17 13:40:36 Morning Aug 17 13:40:38 Are you well? Aug 17 13:40:40 * Morgan shrugs Aug 17 13:40:42 I've been better Aug 17 13:40:44 I could light some tobacco? Aug 17 13:40:46 * Morgan shakes his head Aug 17 13:40:48 I'll manage Aug 17 13:40:52 * DeeDee nods Aug 17 13:40:54 *Claudia comes to a stop* Aug 17 13:40:56 hey Aug 17 13:40:58 C: Hey. Training? Aug 17 13:41:00 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Aug 17 13:41:02 Yeah, go on then Aug 17 13:41:06 $want to show off your prowess a little bit?$ Aug 17 13:41:50 *Claudia smiles* $always$ Aug 17 13:44:27 * Morgan drops the cup, drawing his sword and attacking in one swift movement Aug 17 13:44:43 * Molly is now known as Claudia Aug 17 13:45:25 * Claudia easily rebuffs the advance, looking confident “No manners today then?” Aug 17 13:45:53 * Morgan smiles Aug 17 13:46:00 Just seeing if you're paying attention... Aug 17 13:46:12 * Claudia grins “Always.” Aug 17 13:46:26 * Morgan nods, saluting her before going back on the attack Aug 17 13:47:52 * Claudia does show off quite a bit, but she does an excellent job. About ten minutes passes before he hears someone approach Aug 17 13:48:35 * Morgan parries her stroke before dancing sideways out of reach before looking around Aug 17 13:50:18 *Edward has come to stand by DeeDee, who is watching the fight with a fairly stoic expression * Aug 17 13:50:58 * Morgan puts up his sword Aug 17 13:51:17 Claudia, perhaps you'd demonstrate to DeeDee that he was in the wrong service while I talk to my brother? Aug 17 13:51:43 * Claudia shrugs, looking at DeeDee “come on then” Aug 17 13:52:35 *DeeDee goes to her and salutes, with she returns. But he looks a little wary, cautious of causing her harm, perhaps* Aug 17 13:52:40 * Claudia is now known as Edward Aug 17 13:53:00 * Edward watches them a few moments before looking to Morgan Aug 17 13:53:33 Let us go the long way around. Aug 17 13:54:26 Via Innesbruck? Aug 17 13:55:43 * Edward blinks Aug 17 13:56:12 no, you and I through the gardens and around the back of the house to the graveyard Aug 17 13:56:35 * Morgan nods, starting to move Aug 17 13:56:38 You don't have to do this Aug 17 13:57:14 Yes, I do. Aug 17 13:57:40 For who? Aug 17 14:00:06 Everyone, but I am under the dear wish of my wife. Aug 17 14:00:48 I don't understand Aug 17 14:02:26 * Edward starts walking Aug 17 14:02:44 Mina insists that it is time for all of this to be finished Aug 17 14:03:00 She thinks will give you closure Aug 17 14:03:17 She thinks it will give -everyone- closure Aug 17 14:03:40 interesting... You will let me help you... *this is clearly not a question* Aug 17 14:03:56 * Edward smiles slightly Aug 17 14:04:26 We Koertig men are infamous for our capacity to do that(!) Aug 17 14:05:52 * Morgan nods a little Aug 17 14:06:56 I am expected to do my duty to Graben, and last night the conflict between you and I rendered that much more difficult. I have been instructed to resolve it Aug 17 14:07:09 Oh, Edward Aug 17 14:07:36 I do not want your pity, Mimi’s was bad enough. Aug 17 14:07:56 I'm not pitying you... Im feeling guilty Aug 17 14:08:32 The temper tantrum was mine, as my Schwesterlein informs me Aug 17 14:09:07 Yes, it was... Aug 17 14:09:27 * Edward nods “So your guilt is misdirected” Aug 17 14:09:57 * Morgan shrugs Aug 17 14:10:20 I had thought we had resolved it... Aug 17 14:11:50 * Edward shrugs Aug 17 14:12:00 It is done now Aug 17 14:12:29 Maybe you need a letter too... Aug 17 14:12:44 * Edward chuckles Aug 17 14:14:15 Using a letter would be the opposite of helpful in getting an heir, assuming you mean of the Montaigne variety **It’s unlikely that Morgan has ever seen one of the sheaths used for contraception that the term Montaigne Letter usually refers to* Aug 17 14:14:37 No, you pillock... Aug 17 14:14:50 * Edward smiles slightly Aug 17 14:15:11 * Morgan takes a note from his pocket, handing it to him (its the letter Edward dictated while they sailed for Capperlucia, saying they aren't at odds and Edward loves him) Aug 17 14:16:33 * Edward looks at it, nodding Aug 17 14:16:40 I would like that Aug 17 14:17:02 * Morgan nods Aug 17 14:17:06 Once we get back then... Aug 17 14:17:09 * Morgan puts it away Aug 17 14:18:25 * Edward nods, looking around the gardens as they go Aug 17 14:18:32 Are you apprehensive? Aug 17 14:19:04 Some... Aug 17 14:20:30 * Edward nods, meandering off the path to cut some flowers that look newly grown here. Aug 17 14:21:32 What are you most worried about? Aug 17 14:24:05 * Edward ponders as he cuts the purple hyacinths Aug 17 14:26:18 Facing it head on. Aug 17 14:26:46 You have not until now? Aug 17 14:27:17 Not as brutally Aug 17 14:27:58 * Morgan nods, rummaging in his pockets Aug 17 14:30:11 * Edward cuts deep pink rhododendrons too Aug 17 14:30:49 * Morgan looks round for some lily of the valley Aug 17 14:31:22 *he finds some at the base of some red roses* Aug 17 14:31:54 Edward... *he points* Aug 17 14:31:58 Those... Aug 17 14:32:32 * Edward comes over with his bouquet in hand. He cuts some Aug 17 14:32:53 There is a legend in Graben about Lily Of The Valley... Aug 17 14:33:56 Oh? Aug 17 14:34:51 It supposedly first grew where a young man died trying to protect his sweetheart from a dragon possessed by legion Aug 17 14:35:13 right... Aug 17 14:36:40 it symbolises Remembrance, Solitude, and Grief to my people, though elsewhere it is the flower of Purity, Sincerity, and Humility Aug 17 14:37:05 I think... that is very fitting... in both respects Aug 17 14:37:13 * Edward nods Aug 17 14:37:20 A good choice, brother Aug 17 14:37:27 * Morgan shakes his head Aug 17 14:37:31 They were her favourite Aug 17 14:37:35 * Edward stands with the three flowers Aug 17 14:38:30 Will you take some red roses yourself? Devotion, passion, and true love? Aug 17 14:40:13 * Morgan nods, carefully cutting some Aug 17 14:40:39 * Edward nods Aug 17 14:41:03 Alright then, shall we proceed? Aug 17 14:41:09 * Morgan nods Aug 17 14:41:13 Do you want to use the balm? Aug 17 14:41:41 No, I will face into this as I should Aug 17 14:42:09 If that is your decision Aug 17 14:44:30 * Edward nods Aug 17 14:44:49 It does not do to avoid that which makes us uneasy Aug 17 14:45:53 Its not avoiding it... you're still facing winter, just with a warmer coat Aug 17 14:46:50 * Edward looks at him “No thank you.” Aug 17 14:47:08 I wasn't trying to convince you Aug 17 14:48:47 * Edward nods, walking on. It’s a surprisingly long trek around their ancestral home Aug 17 14:49:03 How -is- your wife this morning? Aug 17 14:49:20 asleep Aug 17 14:49:46 Are you over-taxing her? Aug 17 14:50:04 No, its just that I get up early... Aug 17 14:50:12 * Edward chuckles Aug 17 14:52:07 How's Mina? Aug 17 14:53:18 Tired, it was a very late night Aug 17 14:53:55 * Morgan nods Aug 17 14:54:09 May as well get used to that... once she's with child, she'll sleep a -lot- Aug 17 14:54:28 * Edward nods, smiling Aug 17 14:54:57 I look forward to spending the long cold days of winter joining her in many naps Aug 17 14:56:59 * Morgan nods Aug 17 14:57:08 It'll be enjoyable Aug 17 14:57:27 * Edward nods Aug 17 14:57:52 Mimi will be contented in a way that nothing else I give her can achieve Aug 17 14:58:22 * Morgan nods Aug 17 14:58:24 I imagine so Aug 17 14:59:26 * Edward nods Aug 17 15:00:13 I have asked the kitchen to make us up something like a child’s tea party of food for Mimi’s birthday tomorrow, as Joseff used to for her Aug 17 15:00:44 * Morgan nods Aug 17 15:00:48 I imagine it will be difficult for her Aug 17 15:00:55 * Edward nods Aug 17 15:01:13 She will, naturally, be the model of self-control and good grace... Aug 17 15:01:25 * Morgan nods Aug 17 15:01:32 She know she doesn't need to if she so wishes Aug 17 15:02:42 She does, but it is unnatural to her. Her manners have been long ingrained. It would be like asking you to go around in dresses as your youngest does Aug 17 15:06:11 * Morgan nods Aug 17 15:06:20 The important thing is that she -knows- it though Aug 17 15:07:01 * Edward nods Aug 17 15:07:04 She does Aug 17 15:13:19 * Morgan nods, pulling out a peppermint, offering one to Edward Aug 17 15:16:25 * Edward takes it Aug 17 15:16:41 Jarvie will be leaving as soon as she can Aug 17 15:16:55 * Morgan nods Aug 17 15:17:02 Aye... I want to speak to her before she goes Aug 17 15:17:18 * Edward nods Aug 17 15:17:51 I am glad we persisted in getting them married Aug 17 15:18:04 * Morgan nods Aug 17 15:18:07 They are well suited Aug 17 15:18:15 * Morgan puts a mint in his mouth Aug 17 15:46:22 * Edward has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Aug 17 15:48:13 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Aug 17 15:49:24 The important thing is that she -knows- it though Aug 17 15:49:24 * Edward nods Aug 17 15:49:24 She does Aug 17 15:49:24 * Morgan nods, pulling out a peppermint, offering one to Edward Aug 17 15:49:24 * Edward takes it Aug 17 15:49:26 Jarvie will be leaving as soon as she can Aug 17 15:49:28 * Morgan nods Aug 17 15:49:30 Aye... I want to speak to her before she goes Aug 17 15:49:32 * Edward nods Aug 17 15:49:36 I am glad we persisted in getting them married Aug 17 15:49:38 * Morgan nods Aug 17 15:49:40 They are well suited Aug 17 15:49:42 * Morgan puts a mint in his mouth Aug 17 15:49:53 * Molly is now known as Edward Aug 17 15:57:37 * Edward nods “They are” Aug 17 15:59:37 * Morgan nods Aug 17 16:00:52 * Edward heads towards the graveyard Aug 17 16:01:56 How do you intend to do this? Aug 17 16:03:18 I do not know, do you need to go ahead? Aug 17 16:04:01 And leave you alone to brood? I don't think so Aug 17 16:09:03 * Edward nods. The sun is just coming up when they enter through the stone archway into the space that holds so many of their departed kin. There’s a chill here deeper than the outside, though it’s quite likely just in his mind Aug 17 16:09:50 * Morgan shivers, moving toward the graves Aug 17 16:11:20 * Edward looks around Aug 17 16:11:42 I haven’t been here in years. Aug 17 16:11:47 * Morgan nods Aug 17 16:11:52 I come here every time I visit Aug 17 16:12:00 * Morgan points Aug 17 16:12:00 Of course. Aug 17 16:12:12 Vaughn is buried over there... he's where I get my love of the sea... Aug 17 16:13:13 * Edward nods, but says nothing, holding onto the flowers Aug 17 16:14:07 * Morgan glances at him Aug 17 16:14:18 I don't know how you want to do this... I generally just talk to them... Aug 17 16:16:15 * Edward nods. He looks tense, and grim. “We can be silent.” Aug 17 16:16:32 You wish me to be? Aug 17 16:16:48 Yes, I think so Aug 17 16:17:01 * Morgan stops him Aug 17 16:17:05 Wait here... Aug 17 16:17:10 * Edward does so Aug 17 16:17:24 * Morgan goes over to the graves, kneeling down and speaking quietly Aug 17 16:19:22 Hello girls... I've brought you a visitor... he's going to be very angry with himself, and he's so very sorry... maybe you can find it in your hearts to let him know its okay to let go? I know you wouldn't want everyone hurting anymore. I miss you all terribly... I'll come back soon so we can have a proper talk Aug 17 16:20:59 *There’s already Lily Of The Valley here, and it reminds him that Molly had given the instruction many months ago that it must be planted and tended on their graves Aug 17 16:21:20 * Morgan smiles a little, picking at some grass before turning and beckoning Edward Aug 17 16:21:44 * Edward comes over slowly, head bowed Aug 17 16:23:17 * Morgan watches him from his place, kneeling on the ground Aug 17 16:25:36 * Edward stands still, looking at the graves that Heinzharold had dug, probably around the time Edward was hightailing it west to ruin his own future and that oaf the woman he loved. He doesn’t speak, just stands rigid and holds hi Aug 17 16:25:54 his flowers that were so carefully chosen Aug 17 16:26:44 * Morgan gently lays the roses on Dietlinde's grave Aug 17 16:28:44 *A gentle breeze picks up, yet Edward doesn’t comment on it* Aug 17 16:29:01 * Morgan looks up at him Aug 17 16:29:06 Come, brother, let me help you... Aug 17 16:29:55 * Edward looks resistant to this a moment, then he kneels, gently putting down the flowers Aug 17 16:30:39 * Morgan nods a little Aug 17 16:33:07 * Edward bows his head as if praying Aug 17 16:33:23 * Morgan watches him surreptitiously, waiting quietly Aug 17 16:35:52 *Bitter tears run down Edward’s cheeks, but he makes no effort to remove them. The Nieblungen’s nickname of Edward The Penitent seems more appropriate than ever* Aug 17 16:37:16 * Morgan shifts slightly, settling onto his heels Aug 17 16:40:58 * Edward stays like this a long time, the sun rising so the light fills the archway they came through. Edward leans forward to adjust the flowers to be more aesthetically pleasing, less haphazard and more artful. A few of the tears fall in the grass, and though Morgan cannot hear them, he does hear the sound of a wind chime Aug 17 16:41:52 * Morgan watches his brother Aug 17 16:44:10 * Edward looks to Morgan Aug 17 16:44:37 wh- *he clears his throat* what was that noise? Aug 17 16:44:45 Noise? Aug 17 16:45:52 it sounded like chimes Aug 17 16:46:15 * Edward copies Morgan, sitting back on his heels Aug 17 16:47:15 * Morgan watches him seriously for a moment Aug 17 16:47:21 Would you do something for me? Aug 17 16:48:22 * Edward nods “If I can” Aug 17 16:48:40 Oh, you can... *he holds out both his hands* Aug 17 16:48:51 * Edward takes them Aug 17 16:49:04 * Morgan bows his head and closes his eyes, quiet for a moment before speaking Aug 17 16:52:36 Our father, who art in heaven... we ask that you watch over our loved ones, both those with us and those who now sit at your side. Please help my brother find the forgiveness for himself that I, and those we visit here have found for him, so that the may go from this turning point without doubt of the man he is. We ask that you show your daughter Mina your all encompassing love and bless her with the first of their children so that she may also go into the fu Aug 17 16:52:36 ture with love and confidence. Aug 17 16:53:30 * Edward also has his eyes closed, letting Morgan go on Aug 17 16:57:41 Watch over Sascha and Otto, and keep them and their twins safe, they are so deserving of the love they will receive from the children waiting to come and meet us. We thank you for helping my father come to terms with the gifts you have given us, and for the blessing of my sons, both here and growing within Molly. Please give us strength to go forward in your service, and to lead our people to a better Eisen for everyone. Aug 17 16:58:45 * Edward doesn’t interject. Morgan doesn’t feel entirely alone Aug 17 17:00:33 * Morgan is quiet a moment before muttering "amen" Aug 17 17:00:44 * Edward says “Amen” Aug 17 17:01:11 * Morgan looks at Edward, gently letting his hands go Aug 17 17:01:27 Bit more than the brief muttered prayer I normally go in for... Aug 17 17:01:58 * Edward nods “It was very nice” Aug 17 17:03:16 How do you feel? Aug 17 17:05:46 * Edward draws a deep breath, then exhales, shoulders dropping. He nods “Yes... better, I believe” Aug 17 17:06:23 While we were praying, did you feel... watched? Aug 17 17:07:02 A little Aug 17 17:07:08 * Morgan nods Aug 17 17:07:10 Wasn't Aug 17 17:07:13 Isn't me* Aug 17 17:07:21 Wasn't me Aug 17 17:07:40 * Edward looks around Aug 17 17:08:18 *there’s definitely enough shadowy spots and tall headstones for hiding behind Aug 17 17:08:35 You're looking in the wrong places... Aug 17 17:08:48 * Morgan casts about with his magic for person sized heat sources Aug 17 17:09:35 *He finds one in the nearest shadowy spot, leaving him with a dilemma* Aug 17 17:09:44 * Edward nods Aug 17 17:10:01 Although... Aug 17 17:10:06 Are you thinking of Theus? Aug 17 17:10:08 * Morgan looks toward the shadowy spot Aug 17 17:10:20 I was, yes... I've felt it a couple of times... Aug 17 17:10:28 * Edward nods Aug 17 17:10:50 I feel it in Church frequently Aug 17 17:11:24 * Morgan nods Aug 17 17:11:41 I don't, generally speaking... He probably despairs of me looking for him in the rafters Aug 17 17:12:12 * Edward smiles faintly Aug 17 17:12:22 I am pleased to hear that quirk remains Aug 17 17:12:39 Its habit... Aug 17 17:16:41 * Edward nods, looking at the graves and nodding Aug 17 17:17:24 * Morgan rolls back onto his feet Aug 17 17:17:34 I'm going to look at something... I'll give you a minute Aug 17 17:17:46 * Edward nods Aug 17 17:17:57 * Morgan moves toward the shadowy spot Aug 17 17:18:14 * Edward is now known as Yensid Aug 17 17:18:23 * Yensid whispers “You need a bath.” Aug 17 17:18:50 * Morgan puts his hand on the headstone, looking into the distance as he speaks very quietly Aug 17 17:18:56 What are you up to? Aug 17 17:19:12 Visiting, same as you Aug 17 17:19:30 Looks like you're hiding... who're you visiting? Aug 17 17:19:49 -Now- I’m hiding. Aug 17 17:20:04 And before, you were visiting... whom? Aug 17 17:20:25 * Yensid sizes him up Aug 17 17:20:41 A girl, from long ago Aug 17 17:20:51 In my family graveyard? Aug 17 17:23:45 * Yensid takes something out of his pocket, showing it to Morgan. It’s a wooden box about five inches long, two wide at the widest point, and an inch thick. It is coffin shaped, and has the name Jenny on it, followed by two dates only eighteen years apart. Aug 17 17:23:59 Not everyone has a family graveyard, my Lord. Aug 17 17:25:04 Your love? Aug 17 17:25:12 * Yensid nods Aug 17 17:25:39 Her real grave is somewhere on some former battlefield out there Aug 17 17:26:03 But you bring that here to visit her? Aug 17 17:26:38 I take it everywhere. Her hair is sealed in it. Aug 17 17:27:18 I was going to offer to ask father to have a headstone here so she has a permanent home... but it sounds like that would not be suitable for you Aug 17 17:27:30 * Yensid shrugs Aug 17 17:27:43 What are you pair doing out here? Aug 17 17:28:01 Visiting Dietlinde and Jana. Aug 17 17:28:12 * Yensid nods assessingly Aug 17 17:29:14 We seem to keep ending up in situations like this Aug 17 17:29:26 Oh? Aug 17 17:30:07 Up on the roof at Hafenlohr... though you’re a bit more exposed now than then. Aug 17 17:30:34 How do you figure? Aug 17 17:30:50 Confirmed something I’ve suspected for years. Aug 17 17:30:55 Whats that? Aug 17 17:31:16 Why you whacked Edward in the chops. Aug 17 17:31:29 That being? Aug 17 17:31:38 Because he did it Aug 17 17:34:03 Are you just fishing, Yensid? Aug 17 17:35:18 no, I heard and saw the pair of you just now Aug 17 17:39:56 I see Aug 17 17:42:09 * Yensid nods, putting the box away Aug 17 17:46:20 always wondered, see? Problem with the Quality People, they can never keep their mouths good and shut... Aug 17 17:48:17 I wouldn't necessarily agree Aug 17 17:49:28 If some prissy nobleman had given that order, he’d have boasted to someone about teaching you a lesson. It’d never have stayed silent Aug 17 17:49:55 I see... Aug 17 17:50:53 * Yensid nods Aug 17 17:51:20 Then there’s the big trouble with him and Old Graben, heard that from the staff Aug 17 17:54:08 * Morgan nods, glancing around Aug 17 17:54:10 Mother doesn't know Aug 17 17:54:31 And She’s never going to. Aug 17 17:54:36 * Morgan nods Aug 17 17:54:47 I know. You're an asshole at times, but you're not cruel Aug 17 17:55:04 * Yensid shrugs Aug 17 17:55:27 Not sure about that. I’m loyal to Adalbrecht, always have been. Aug 17 17:55:54 * Morgan shrugs a little Aug 17 17:55:59 We'll talk before I leave... Aug 17 17:56:26 Still want some more lessons on tying up that sexy wife of yours *he grins* Aug 17 17:57:21 Maybe. The offer stands... if you'd like her to have a permanent home... Aug 17 17:59:21 * Yensid nods Aug 17 17:59:28 I’ll think about it Aug 17 18:00:37 * Morgan nods, going back to Edward Aug 17 18:03:44 * Yensid stays in the shadows Aug 17 18:06:41 * Morgan looks at Edward Aug 17 18:06:50 Do you wish to stay longer? Aug 17 18:07:23 * Yensid is now known as Edward Aug 17 18:07:32 * Edward shakes his head Aug 17 18:07:38 No, thank you Aug 17 18:07:51 * Morgan nods, looking down at the graves briefly Aug 17 18:07:57 Come on then... we'll take the long way back Aug 17 18:08:20 I can go on if you need time here Aug 17 18:09:31 I spoke to them already. I'll come back later Aug 17 18:23:40 * Edward nods Aug 17 18:24:01 you’ll be expected by now? Aug 17 18:24:14 Soon... Aug 17 18:24:28 * Edward stands up, moving away from their graves Aug 17 18:24:38 * Morgan starts walking Aug 17 18:25:19 What do you think the chiming was? Aug 17 18:25:34 * Edward broods on it Aug 17 18:25:47 I have heard it before Aug 17 18:25:54 Really? When? Aug 17 18:26:39 when we spoke so openly in Starke, when I met Florrie, at my wedding Aug 17 18:26:56 interesting... Aug 17 18:27:38 I am led to wonder, does it happen when something important occurs... Aug 17 18:27:54 That'd make sense Aug 17 18:28:04 * Edward glances at him Aug 17 18:28:13 that’s very tiresome Aug 17 18:28:20 What? Aug 17 18:29:02 those non-committal responses Aug 17 18:29:21 I imagine it is... but it -would- make sense, since those -are- important events Aug 17 18:29:35 * Edward nods Aug 17 18:29:50 turning points... or achievements. Aug 17 18:30:08 * Morgan nods Aug 17 18:30:18 Indeed... Aug 17 18:31:00 I would wager a large amount of money that you’ll hear it on the birth of each of your children Aug 17 18:31:35 I'm not daft enough to bet against you with that... Aug 17 18:31:48 Though... I heard it when Molly felt the quickening... Aug 17 18:31:58 * Edward smiles Aug 17 18:32:13 has she felt it since? Aug 17 18:32:25 * Morgan nods Aug 17 18:32:27 frequently Aug 17 18:32:36 * Edward chuckles Aug 17 18:32:43 the movement. Aug 17 18:32:53 That -is- what I meant Aug 17 18:33:10 * Edward nods Aug 17 18:33:38 it should get more frequent as time progresses? Aug 17 18:33:57 * Morgan nods Aug 17 18:34:02 Until I am able to feel it Aug 17 18:34:17 how long does that take? Aug 17 18:34:53 Another few weeks now... Aug 17 18:35:25 * Edward nods, exiting the graveyard Aug 17 18:35:32 Are you excited? Aug 17 18:35:39 Of course Aug 17 18:36:11 Mimi thinks Inga may be enciente Aug 17 18:36:26 Oh? Aug 17 18:36:53 * Edward shrugs Aug 17 18:37:00 feminine intuition Aug 17 18:37:31 * Morgan nods Aug 17 18:37:41 Could it be she is just seeing what it is she wants? Aug 17 18:37:49 probably Aug 17 18:39:00 I wonder what makes her think that... Aug 17 18:39:21 I’m not sure Aug 17 18:40:19 * Morgan shrugs Aug 17 18:42:49 * Edward walks through the grounds of Die Dauerhaftigkeit Aug 17 18:43:18 What will you fill your time with today? Aug 17 18:44:28 Not sure really... Aug 17 18:45:12 * Edward nods “I wonder if Mimi could spend some time with Molly” Aug 17 18:45:53 Just Molly? Aug 17 18:46:36 No, not necessarily, but I want to spend time with Florrie Aug 17 18:47:07 * Morgan nods Aug 17 18:47:11 I'll see what I can do Aug 17 18:47:22 Perhaps... spending time helping with Emil might help her? Aug 17 18:49:24 * Edward nods Aug 17 18:49:55 I’d like her to gain some maternal skills, though she will have as many nursery nurses as she wishes Aug 17 18:50:14 * Morgan nods Aug 17 18:53:20 * Edward looks more relaxed Aug 17 18:54:02 I appreciate your support, brother Aug 17 18:54:55 * Morgan nods Aug 17 18:54:57 Of course Aug 17 18:56:34 * Edward nods. He seems quite introspective, but not upset or angry Aug 17 18:56:49 * Morgan walks quietly beside him Aug 17 18:57:38 *Edward will be going in the main door, with the entrance to the Veisgraf Wing further along* Aug 17 18:58:02 I will see you at breakfast, unless you are having it in bed? Aug 17 18:59:15 I wasn't planning to, no Aug 17 18:59:41 * Edward smiles “You’re wife may have other ideas?” Aug 17 18:59:57 Frequently does Aug 17 19:01:03 * Edward chuckles “until later then” Aug 17 19:01:34 * Morgan nods, inclining his head before carrying on Aug 17 19:02:51 *he isn’t interrupted, so he gets upstairs about half an hour before his family would normally wake* Aug 17 19:04:20 * Morgan sets about drawing a bath Aug 17 19:06:05 *he manages to get bathed in peace, and hears Molly moving around their room when he’s drying off* Aug 17 19:07:07 * Morgan wraps the towel around his waist, wandering into his room Aug 17 19:08:22 * Edward is now known as Molly Aug 17 19:08:56 * Molly is wrapped in a bedsheet, and she smiles upon seeing him Aug 17 19:09:11 Oh dear, we’re wearing the same outfit! Aug 17 19:09:19 What a disaster... Aug 17 19:09:26 * Molly nods Aug 17 19:09:43 Yours is lower than mine though Aug 17 19:10:03 Smaller, see Aug 17 19:10:38 * Molly lowers the sheet, tucking it so it’s sat on her hips below her bump Aug 17 19:10:45 There we are, equal... Aug 17 19:10:55 * Morgan smiles Aug 17 19:10:58 How did you sleep? Aug 17 19:11:27 Quite well, something about using my magic on pigeons Aug 17 19:12:06 You remember that? Aug 17 19:13:12 Only very vaguely Aug 17 19:14:13 * Morgan nods Aug 17 19:15:15 Did you see it? Aug 17 19:15:35 * Morgan nods Aug 17 19:15:36 aye Aug 17 19:17:00 I was good, I think? And blindfolded? Aug 17 19:17:09 * Morgan nods Aug 17 19:17:10 aye Aug 17 19:18:29 * Molly smiles “You can do that for me whenever you wish. How was -your- night?” Aug 17 19:18:45 * Morgan shrugs Aug 17 19:18:46 Troublesome Aug 17 19:19:55 * Molly nods sadly, pulling the sheet back up Aug 17 19:20:02 Do you wish to tell me? Aug 17 19:21:34 * Morgan shrugs Aug 17 19:21:49 First one I was with Madchen... saw Jana... its all starting... Aug 17 19:21:59 * Molly nods Aug 17 19:22:22 That’s both a benefit and a curse to see? Aug 17 19:23:10 * Morgan nods Aug 17 19:23:20 You woke me before I got to say goodbye to Madchen... Aug 17 19:23:45 Oh, I am sorry, my love Aug 17 19:25:01 * Morgan shrugs Aug 17 19:25:04 Its alright love Aug 17 19:30:31 you’ll see her again though Aug 17 19:30:43 * Morgan nods Aug 17 19:31:48 did you speak with Jana? Aug 17 19:32:06 briefly. They are aware they must make the most of every moment together Aug 17 19:32:14 * Molly nods Aug 17 19:32:29 As we all should, really Aug 17 19:32:34 * Morgan nods Aug 17 19:32:36 aye Aug 17 19:32:51 have you seen Edward? Aug 17 19:32:58 * Morgan nods Aug 17 19:33:09 Yes... he was wondering if Mina could spend some time with you today Aug 17 19:33:40 * Molly nods “yes, of course “ Aug 17 19:34:02 Perhaps with Emil and Varick... give her some practice... Aug 17 19:34:12 * Molly nods Aug 17 19:34:49 I imagine Varick will wish to be with Jacques though Aug 17 19:35:01 Ah, yes, of course Aug 17 19:35:16 * Morgan chews hislip Aug 17 19:35:27 * Molly watches this Aug 17 19:35:33 What’s wrong? Aug 17 19:35:40 Yensid knows what Edward did Aug 17 19:35:53 Oh! how?! Aug 17 19:37:05 He overheard us at their graves... but he's long thought something wasn't right... Aug 17 19:37:22 * Molly nods seriously Aug 17 19:37:34 Alright, what are we to do? Aug 17 19:37:43 Nothing. Edward doesn't know Aug 17 19:37:49 * Molly nods Aug 17 19:38:01 What did Yensid say? Aug 17 19:38:58 I told him that mother doesn't know... and he said she never will. Aug 17 19:39:20 * Molly nods Aug 17 19:39:29 that’s reassuring Aug 17 19:39:38 * Morgan nods Aug 17 19:39:40 Yes, it is Aug 17 19:40:04 are you troubled? Aug 17 19:40:27 Yes... but there is nothing I can do about it either way Aug 17 19:40:34 * Molly nods Aug 17 19:40:50 he shouldn’t have been eavesdropping Aug 17 19:40:59 * Morgan shrugs Aug 17 19:41:00 Its what he does Aug 17 19:41:21 I could do a much better job of it Aug 17 19:42:02 Oh? Aug 17 19:42:20 I can hide extremely well, for now Aug 17 19:42:40 * Morgan nods Aug 17 19:42:42 true Aug 17 19:42:52 * Molly smiles Aug 17 19:43:03 I could be anywhere, anytime Aug 17 19:43:20 I just have to rely on skill Aug 17 19:43:38 You have a great deal of it! Aug 17 19:44:44 * Morgan nods, getting dried Aug 17 19:44:46 I do Aug 17 19:45:14 I wonder what other little gifts I’ll get along the way Aug 17 19:45:24 * Morgan shrugs Aug 17 19:45:28 I've no idea Aug 17 19:46:11 Maybe I’ll be able to dramatically change my appearance... Aug 17 19:47:54 Why would you wish to?? Aug 17 19:48:37 * Molly smiles warmly Aug 17 19:48:45 I could be so much sexier... Aug 17 19:55:45 ummmm... no. Aug 17 19:56:23 No I couldn’t? Aug 17 19:56:28 * Molly smiles Aug 17 19:56:39 Impossible, see Aug 17 19:56:51 * Molly comes to kiss his cheek Aug 17 19:56:57 You flirt... Aug 17 19:57:15 * Morgan shrugs Aug 17 19:57:17 Now and then Aug 17 19:57:34 it makes my heart happy Aug 17 19:59:37 * Morgan smiles a little Aug 17 19:59:38 Good Aug 17 20:00:14 * Molly kisses the other cheek before retreating Aug 17 20:00:21 And elsewhere, naturally Aug 17 20:01:31 One would hope so Aug 17 20:03:50 * Molly giggles “To he discovered later in the day, hmm?” Aug 17 20:03:54 be* Aug 17 20:03:58 Oh quite possibly Aug 17 20:04:15 * Molly starts to get dressed Aug 17 20:04:33 It’ll be time to see Jarvie off before long Aug 17 20:04:42 * Morgan nods, pulling some clothes on Aug 17 20:04:44 Yes, it will Aug 17 20:05:03 Should write to Betuana... Aug 17 20:06:33 * Molly nods “I have written to Catherine, Beth, Caro, Evie, and Maelwys to tell them our news, Jarvie says she’ll see it all posted” Aug 17 20:08:31 * Morgan nods Aug 17 20:08:32 good Aug 17 20:10:03 It’s time for the whole world to know I carry your child Aug 17 20:11:09 * Morgan nods, smiling Aug 17 20:11:25 Yes it is... which reminds me... Mina thinks Inga is pregnant Aug 17 20:11:49 oh dear! Aug 17 20:12:11 * Molly starts doing up her bodice over her shift Aug 17 20:15:23 * Morgan nods, pulling on a shirt Aug 17 20:15:27 Indeed Aug 17 20:16:12 I should speak to Inga and see what she wishes Aug 17 20:16:25 * Morgan nods Aug 17 20:16:27 I think so, yes Aug 17 20:18:26 * Molly nods Aug 17 20:19:14 how to do so though... *she tightens the laces* Aug 17 20:19:39 You say... Inga, Mina thinks you're pregnant... what should we do? Aug 17 20:20:56 No, you silly goose! *she smiles* Aug 17 20:21:39 I mean, how do I go to talk to Inga in private when I am supposed to be giving my company to Mina all day Aug 17 20:22:13 Ah. I don't know Aug 17 20:23:44 Unless you wish to speak with Inga? Aug 17 20:24:49 Me?! Aug 17 20:26:21 Yes, you are free to go down, I am not Aug 17 20:26:53 * Morgan nods, rolling up his sleeves Aug 17 20:26:57 Alright, I'll go ask Aug 17 20:28:18 * Molly watches this intently Aug 17 20:28:28 Hmm? oh, yes, thank you, my love Aug 17 20:28:54 * Morgan watches her for a moment before glancing at his forearms before rolling th sleeves back down Aug 17 20:28:57 Force of habit Aug 17 20:29:09 No! please, don’t do that! Aug 17 20:29:20 I don't wish my mother upset Aug 17 20:29:47 My love, it is time to accept it, for everyone. Aug 17 20:30:48 She'll be distressed Aug 17 20:31:37 Perhaps speak to her then? It’s a pity though, I do enjoy seeing your bare forearms Aug 17 20:31:45 * Morgan sighs Aug 17 20:32:16 I'll talk to her later... or... maybe you can... perhaps it'd help Mina... Aug 17 20:32:37 * Molly nods, pulling on her petticoat Aug 17 20:33:29 I will do that for you. *she looks at her hung up clothes* One of my maternity dresses, or something more concealing? Aug 17 20:34:00 That is entirely your choice Aug 17 20:34:22 I simply wish to know which will suit your mood today Aug 17 20:34:34 * Morgan frowns Aug 17 20:34:50 I have asked you to conceal your increasing for too long... Aug 17 20:36:45 But today you do not want the provocation of my noticeably belly? Aug 17 20:36:52 noticeable* Aug 17 20:37:00 I did not say that Aug 17 20:37:44 You seem withdrawn again, my love. Reticent. Aug 17 20:37:59 It wasn't an easy night Aug 17 20:38:14 because of seeing Jana? Aug 17 20:40:11 A bit... I had more of the path where I'd married Mina... I'd come home for a night... Aug 17 20:40:26 That was difficult? Aug 17 20:40:36 * Morgan nods Aug 17 20:40:40 All that pity... Aug 17 20:40:50 * Molly nods Aug 17 20:41:22 you missed that with losing Jana... Aug 17 20:41:37 * Morgan nods Aug 17 20:41:39 I did Aug 17 20:41:54 * Molly nods Aug 17 20:41:58 is it finished? Aug 17 20:42:37 * Morgan shakes his head Aug 17 20:42:38 no Aug 17 20:42:54 * Molly sighs Aug 17 20:43:02 Was Mina there? Did you...? Aug 17 20:43:17 * Morgan sighs Aug 17 20:43:19 No and no Aug 17 20:43:44 That must be a relief Aug 17 20:45:20 I suppose Aug 17 20:47:21 * Molly frowns Aug 17 20:47:25 isn’t it? Aug 17 20:47:52 The lack of guilt is somewhat overshadowed by the lingering feeling of losing a child... Aug 17 20:49:42 * Molly nods Aug 17 20:49:52 I’m sorry, that was tactless of me Aug 17 20:49:57 Yes, it was Aug 17 20:50:18 * Molly nods Aug 17 20:50:54 I do not understand what the point of the dream is, what there is to learn there Aug 17 20:51:05 no... nor do I... Aug 17 20:51:38 * Molly takes down a dress Aug 17 20:52:24 Perhaps it is time for me to say about taking a difficult one instead to spare you? Aug 17 20:52:52 No thank you. Not in your condition Aug 17 20:54:50 * Molly sighs Aug 17 20:54:57 I am strong enough, my love Aug 17 20:55:16 Even so Aug 17 20:55:35 You will consider a compromise? Aug 17 20:55:55 Such as? Aug 17 20:56:26 you will keep the balm and tobacco to hand, and you’ll let me help you with magic Aug 17 20:57:07 I will agree to the first two Aug 17 20:58:22 * Molly pouts Aug 17 20:58:40 I am not entirely satisfied, my love Aug 17 20:59:00 I'm sorry to hear that Aug 17 20:59:12 * Molly smiles slightly, watching his expression Aug 17 20:59:16 Are you really? Aug 17 20:59:23 A little Aug 17 20:59:32 * Molly giggles Aug 17 20:59:48 You are a terrible tease, mon petit chou Aug 17 20:59:58 I know, I never was any good at it Aug 17 21:01:16 * Molly smiles “I am going to finish getting dressed before I end up in a predicament! Aug 17 21:01:50 * Morgan nods Aug 17 21:01:54 I'll go find Inga Aug 17 21:03:53 What about breakfast? And Jarvie leaving? Aug 17 21:05:18 I won't be long, though I do need to speak to father first Aug 17 21:05:31 * Molly nods Aug 17 21:05:43 Alright, my love Aug 17 21:06:54 * Morgan nods, kissing her cheek briefly before leaving the room going looking for his father Aug 17 21:07:53 * Molly is now known as Adalbrecht Aug 17 21:08:20 * Adalbrecht is found in his office, though the day is still quite young Aug 17 21:08:30 * Morgan taps on the doorframe Aug 17 21:09:03 come Aug 17 21:09:27 * Morgan goes in, looking at his father before throwing himself into a chair Aug 17 21:09:32 You're up early Aug 17 21:09:41 * Adalbrecht raises an eyebrow Aug 17 21:10:01 unlike your decorum. Coffee is coming Aug 17 21:10:15 * Morgan grins Aug 17 21:10:38 I don't know, it just gets into me to be a bit of an inconvenience some days Aug 17 21:11:51 * Adalbrecht nods, waiting until the maid who brings them coffee is gone Aug 17 21:12:19 Do you intend to remain an inconvenience for long? Aug 17 21:12:47 Tough to say really... though it could be seen as an indicator that I am at peace and comfortable... Aug 17 21:14:25 * Adalbrecht nods slightly Aug 17 21:14:36 It will be borne then. Until lunchtime. Aug 17 21:14:59 * Morgan smiles a little Aug 17 21:15:24 We'll see I suppose... maybe I'll have worn myself out by then Aug 17 21:16:49 * Adalbrecht nods, sipping his coffee Aug 17 21:17:20 Was I the first you’ve been a nuisance to, or have you been pestering your wife? Aug 17 21:17:28 * Adalbrecht then blushes slightly Aug 17 21:17:40 * Morgan laughs Aug 17 21:17:55 I do that occasionally, get all the way through a statement before realising what I've said Aug 17 21:18:06 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 17 21:19:02 * Morgan sips his coffee Aug 17 21:19:13 Actually, though... I am here for a couple of serious things... Aug 17 21:19:35 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 17 21:19:47 go ahead Aug 17 21:21:45 I joined Edward to visit Dietlinde and Jana... Aug 17 21:22:20 * Adalbrecht looks surprised Aug 17 21:22:24 Why? Aug 17 21:22:42 Because he wanted to... he felt it would give him some sort of... closure. Aug 17 21:23:38 * Adalbrecht looks serious Aug 17 21:23:44 And you went with him Aug 17 21:25:16 Yes. I did not want him facing that alone Aug 17 21:25:34 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 17 21:25:40 What happened? Aug 17 21:27:57 It was difficult, as you'd expect... he seems less burdened now Aug 17 21:28:42 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 17 21:29:08 good Aug 17 21:29:47 * Morgan watches him for a moment Aug 17 21:29:52 Yensid knows Aug 17 21:31:14 * Adalbrecht frowns deeply Aug 17 21:31:19 What?! Why?! Aug 17 21:31:44 Because... he's not stupid, has long suspected, and is the only man on Theah who's ever managed to sneak up on me Aug 17 21:32:09 * Adalbrecht frowns again, sipping his coffee Aug 17 21:32:12 I see. Aug 17 21:33:23 He says it made no sense that no one ever bragged about it... *he sighs* he's going to keep it to himself. I'm not entirely sure he'd even tell you he knows, but... I don't want to hide things from you Aug 17 21:34:54 * Adalbrecht nods thoughtfully Aug 17 21:35:03 He makes an excellent point... Aug 17 21:35:27 * Morgan nods Aug 17 21:35:49 Something to perhaps do something -about- in future Aug 17 21:37:22 Such as? Aug 17 21:37:38 A rumour... but I haven't gotten that far with that line of thought yet Aug 17 21:37:57 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 17 21:38:39 Pin it on someone dead and heirless Aug 17 21:39:23 Mmhmm... something to consider... Aug 17 21:39:57 Someone... detestable... possibly from... Mecklenberg? Aug 17 21:40:31 * Adalbrecht grins Aug 17 21:40:46 Yes... Dreiser would do nicely, in fact Aug 17 21:40:54 * Morgan frowns Aug 17 21:41:00 Did I just... politic? Aug 17 21:41:07 * Adalbrecht laughs Aug 17 21:41:16 I believe so Aug 17 21:41:20 * Morgan shudders Aug 17 21:41:23 I don't like it Aug 17 21:42:01 You don’t have to like it, you just have to do it. That is what my Father used to say about having lots of children Aug 17 21:42:18 * Adalbrecht rubs his forehead “oh...” Aug 17 21:42:18 * Morgan shrugs Aug 17 21:42:46 What else... oh, yes... do you know who Jenny was? Aug 17 21:42:57 * Adalbrecht nods solemnly Aug 17 21:43:01 Yes, I do Aug 17 21:43:12 * Morgan chews his lip a moment Aug 17 21:44:05 I'm sure its occurred to you but... I'm thinking, if he's willing, it'd be... -right- for her to have a headstone... somewhere he has a connection to... Aug 17 21:44:20 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 17 21:45:56 It had, but Yensid is... It is a difficult subject for him. For both of us, in fact. I offered to have her given a job here so she would be safe, they chose for her to stay following the drum. Things happened, and she died. Aug 17 21:46:22 * Morgan nods Aug 17 21:47:44 He is more complex than I ever gave him credit for... however, it is my belief that it helps to have somewhere to -go-, to have something tangible... I've suggested that you might be amenable to having a headstone for her placed in our graveyard, since he's nearly family... been with you, what, a hundred and thirty years or so? Aug 17 21:48:35 * Adalbrecht nods “It has been a lon... Not one hundred and thirty.” Aug 17 21:49:42 * Morgan chuckles Aug 17 21:50:01 He's said he'll think about it... whether or not he decides to is a little beside the point... Aug 17 21:50:48 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 17 21:51:50 He has his ways of remembering her. Deep in his cups, he once told me that love is an exchange. When they die, a piece of you goes with them, but a piece of them remains within you. Aug 17 21:52:25 * Morgan nods Aug 17 21:52:27 He is correct Aug 17 21:52:34 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 17 21:53:54 Anout half an hour later he urinated in his trousers and then asked me why his socks were wet. The optimal period of drunken Yensid wisdom is six and a half pints of blokners Aug 17 21:54:15 * Morgan lets out a low whistle Aug 17 21:54:26 impressive... could nearly keep up with me Aug 17 21:55:21 * Adalbrecht smiles “Allegedly his mother drank a pint of it a day in her pregnancy for the iron” Aug 17 21:55:42 That'd do it alright Aug 17 21:56:15 * Adalbrecht nods “He also claims this pickled him and explains his looks” Aug 17 21:56:35 * Morgan laughs Aug 17 21:57:06 He continues to surprise me Aug 17 21:57:11 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 17 21:57:52 He is careful about how he presents to the world Aug 17 21:58:25 You're not telling me thats an... not an act... a performance?! Aug 17 22:00:27 * Adalbrecht shrugs “Pretend to something long enough and it becomes who you are. At his core, he’s just a man very talented at sneaking, eavesdropping, wheedling, tracking, manipulating, intimidating, and irritating people” Aug 17 22:01:08 * Morgan starts to frown Aug 17 22:01:14 That sounds... worryingly familiar Aug 17 22:01:20 * Adalbrecht laughs Aug 17 22:01:47 He does, however, delight in houses of ill-repute, and that is -nothing- like you Aug 17 22:02:08 No... I only go in those if I have to Aug 17 22:02:46 In the course of the business as a Freiarr or Graf, that happens on occasion Aug 17 22:03:04 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee before sitting up straighter Aug 17 22:03:11 I... have a request Aug 17 22:05:48 Are you going to ask me to extend your allowance past September? I did say I would continue it until Molly gives us an heir Aug 17 22:06:02 * Morgan shakes his head solemnly Aug 17 22:06:24 No... it'd be nice, but... thats not what I'm asking Aug 17 22:07:21 Yes? Aug 17 22:07:54 My lord... I request that Molly and I have your permission to utilise our... talents... within your Grafdom, and your home... Aug 17 22:08:24 * Adalbrecht sips his coffee, looking at his desk Aug 17 22:08:40 You will be careful not to get caught. Aug 17 22:08:54 * Morgan nods Aug 17 22:09:35 Absolutely. Its... mostly for Molly... so she can help Sascha... and if anyone here gets hurt, Varick, for example... or... so she can help me when I wake from my nightmares Aug 17 22:10:26 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 17 22:10:55 As long as she harms no one in treating them, which I imagine could occur. Aug 17 22:11:23 In the same way any other medic could Aug 17 22:11:37 * Adalbrecht nods slightly Aug 17 22:11:48 I think you know that is not something she would do... Aug 17 22:12:02 Of course not, don’t be ridiculous. Aug 17 22:12:30 Perhaps then your condition was unnecessary? Aug 17 22:13:11 * Adalbrecht huffs Aug 17 22:13:38 Stop being difficult. I am allowed to set stipulation and air concerns 8n my own home Aug 17 22:14:28 Is it a concern? Aug 17 22:16:13 I know she would not choose harm to anyone Aug 17 22:18:01 I'm trying to understand... you are worried she will lose control of it? That I will? Aug 17 22:18:22 Either Aug 17 22:18:36 * Adalbrecht shrugs “both?” Aug 17 22:18:53 * Morgan nods slowly Aug 17 22:19:52 Alright... it was a concern for us... we have trained and practiced, as you would with a weapon, so that we are not at risk of that... Aug 17 22:20:20 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 17 22:20:33 good Aug 17 22:20:45 * Morgan nods, watching him sadly Aug 17 22:22:27 I have given my ascent, do not silk Aug 17 22:22:31 sulk* Aug 17 22:23:09 Oh father, I am not sulking... not at all... I am saddened for you to be in such a place as to need to worry about your own son like that... Aug 17 22:23:57 As would you have had your sons developed these abilities Aug 17 22:24:24 Please, I am not -attacking- you... Aug 17 22:24:31 Nor am I you Aug 17 22:24:51 I'm afraid... it sounds very much like it... Aug 17 22:25:57 Well I am not Aug 17 22:26:07 * Morgan nods Aug 17 22:26:37 It came as a surprise to me, y'know... hearing where my... ability comes from... Aug 17 22:27:21 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 17 22:27:56 There has been no sign of it all this time Aug 17 22:28:03 * Morgan shakes his head Aug 17 22:28:20 I learned it the same time you did... I thought perhaps it was the Nieblungen... Aug 17 22:28:31 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 17 22:28:52 They are bizarre people... creatures? Aug 17 22:29:18 Ever had one of those things that if you think about too hard, it gives you headache? Aug 17 22:30:42 on occasion Aug 17 22:31:22 They are that subject for me a lot of the time... along with how fast my ship moves Aug 17 22:33:15 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 17 22:33:36 -That- is very unsettling Aug 17 22:33:49 * Morgan nods, shuddering slightly Aug 17 22:33:55 still... she got us all home Aug 17 22:34:32 Fairly sure we could plow her into Montaigne, and Montaigne would come off worse Aug 17 22:35:14 Tempting... Aug 17 22:35:49 * Morgan nods Aug 17 22:36:01 but... it'd be sloppy docking, and we do not do that Aug 17 22:37:36 No, we do not Aug 17 22:38:22 * Morgan finishes his coffee Aug 17 22:38:37 You can trust us, y'know... with the *he wiggles his fingers* Aug 17 22:40:10 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 17 22:40:45 do you think I should ask Jarvinia to stay longer? Aug 17 22:41:16 I'm not sure she would.. she has wanderlust worse than I ever did Aug 17 22:42:57 No... your mother will miss them terribly, and naturally that pains me too Aug 17 22:44:18 I think... it would be best to ask, but not be offended if she refuses... would you like me to do that, on your behalf? Aug 17 22:46:43 * Adalbrecht nods Aug 17 22:46:47 thank you Aug 17 22:47:07 * Morgan finishes his coffee Aug 17 22:47:09 I'll do it now Aug 17 23:09:12 * Adalbrecht has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Aug 17 23:49:01 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
