Aug 20 19:38:03 *they nod, and soon he’s on his way, having to either go past Claudia’s or past the clearing for his old house* Aug 20 19:38:40 * Morgan goes past Claudia's Aug 20 19:39:57 *The little shack looks tidier outside, with clothing hung on the washing line* Aug 20 19:40:23 * Morgan smiles a little, carrying on Aug 20 19:42:05 *There’s quite a few people in the village with their various stalls or shopping.

Aug 20 19:49:10 He’s been gone a while and there’s a lot for him to fix, but it’s not good for him to sits around on his backside Aug 20 19:50:39 * Morgan nods Aug 20 19:50:47 He needs something to keep him occupied Aug 20 19:51:08 * Ma nods Aug 20 19:51:14 Young men always do Aug 20 19:51:21 R: why do they? Aug 20 19:51:53 * Ma smiles a little at Morgan before she says “Never you mind, my girl” Aug 20 19:52:41 * Morgan chuckles Aug 20 19:52:46 I'll try to not disturb him Aug 20 19:53:28 * Ma nods “Inga is there, she can talk whilst he works” Aug 20 19:53:38 * Morgan nods Aug 20 19:53:44 Need me to take anything back with me?

She’d do a better job if she wasn’t eyeing up her husband Aug 20 19:59:53 * Morgan watches them for a moment, smiling Aug 20 20:00:17 * Ma is now known as Inga Aug 20 20:00:24 * Inga spots him Aug 20 20:00:33 Hello, Morgan Aug 20 20:00:42 Hello love... Aug 20 20:00:52 *HH splits another bit before looking over* Hey man Aug 20 20:01:06 * Morgan inclines his head Aug 20 20:01:12 Your Ma said she had you working Aug 20 20:01:17 * Inga smiles “Are you itching to take over?” Aug 20 20:01:41 I do enjoy it... Aug 20 20:02:12 *HH hands over the axe6 Aug 20 20:02:22 HH: Don’t tell Ma though Aug 20 20:03:00 * Morgan nods, hefting it a few times before setting to work Aug 20 20:03:03 Got a bit of problem Aug 20 20:03:39 HH: It’s not the size o’ the tool, it’s what you do with it, man Aug 20 20:03:44 You're a tool Aug 20 20:04:15 *HH grins* Massive tool, right, lil darlin? Aug 20 20:04:41 * Inga giggles, winking at Morgan “It’ll do.” Aug 20 20:05:40 * Morgan smiles a little, glancing around to make sure they're alone Aug 20 20:05:57 HH: Ooof! Thanks Inga(!) *they are* Aug 20 20:06:58 listen... Edward told me this morning that Mina thinks Inga is ancient... Aug 20 20:07:36 HH grins: She’s not wrong Aug 20 20:08:02 No... I was wondering if perhaps you'd like to let her in on that little secret... Aug 20 20:08:44 * Inga sighs “I don’t want to -lie-, but I wasn’t going to tell anyone yet” Aug 20 20:09:27 * Morgan nods Aug 20 20:09:30 If it were anyone else... Aug 20 20:09:55 HH: You reck’n we should tell her? Aug 20 20:11:13 * Morgan swings the axe, splitting some wood Aug 20 20:11:53 well... if it were the other way around, how would you feel? Aug 20 20:12:37 * Inga looks to HH “I think I’d be sad, but also I could respect that they wanted to keep it secret until the quickening” Aug 20 20:13:37 * Morgan splits another piece of wood before putting another log on the stump, looking at it Aug 20 20:14:25 HH shrugs: Mebbie it’s a woman thing, can’t say I’d be fussed Aug 20 20:16:31 * Morgan watches them for a moment, quietly putting the axe down Aug 20 20:17:21 * Inga nods “I don’t know how to handle it” Aug 20 20:17:34 Telling her? Or in general? Aug 20 20:17:46 Telling her Aug 20 20:21:19 * Morgan nods Aug 20 20:21:25 How would you wish to be told in her place? Aug 20 20:23:00 I don’t know really. I wasn’t really upset about not being pregnant yet, and then I just got pregnant Aug 20 20:23:50 Its not... a particularly long time before they will catch pregnant... Aug 20 20:24:37 HH: yeah, but do they know that? Aug 20 20:26:14 well... sort of. He knows when the child will be born... he didn't want her to be told, but to reassure her I told her she'd know it before prophets mass... Aug 20 20:26:30 * Morgan mutters Aug 20 20:26:41 If she doesn't know it then, she's even less observant than I was Aug 20 20:27:07 HH: Hafta have a whole babe fall out of it to be worse than you! Aug 20 20:27:23 Pretty much Aug 20 20:28:06 * Morgan draws his dracheneisen sword, swinging it almost absently down at the log Aug 20 20:28:18 But it won’t be that long after ours, will it? Aug 20 20:28:41 Not terribly, no Aug 20 20:28:44 *it splits the log as easy as a sharp knife through silk* Aug 20 20:29:38 * Morgan shudders a little, putting the sword away Aug 20 20:29:54 * Inga and HH watch with surprise Aug 20 20:30:00 HH: Whoa! Aug 20 20:30:20 Feels sort of wrong it didn't take any effort... Aug 20 20:30:28 * Morgan picks the axe back up, placing another log Aug 20 20:30:51 *HH sniggers* That’s what she said Aug 20 20:31:01 Realistically, given the basic facts of what she knows, she could be thinking it'll take til November... Aug 20 20:31:21 That’s quite a while Aug 20 20:31:35 * Morgan nods Aug 20 20:31:36 Indeed Aug 20 20:32:58 HH: What d’ya reck’n, man? Aug 20 20:33:54 She's difficult for me to read... I'm not sure. Aug 20 20:34:23 what does Molly say? Aug 20 20:40:18 She said "Go ask Inga what she wants to do" Aug 20 20:40:59 Oh, I hoped she’d know what to do Aug 20 20:41:24 She wanted to talk with you about it, but she's with Mina... Aug 20 20:42:26 * Inga nods Aug 20 20:42:42 Maybe it’s easier just to be honest Aug 20 20:43:17 It wouldn't be a question if she wasn't a close friend... Aug 20 20:43:30 * Inga nods Aug 20 20:43:47 I don’t want to upset her, just like when we told you and Molly Aug 20 20:44:17 * Morgan nods Aug 20 20:44:38 Would she be more upset that you are and she is not yet... or that you had kept it from her? Aug 20 20:45:46 I don’t know Aug 20 20:46:58 * Morgan nods, swinging the axe at the wood Aug 20 20:47:32 *he can hear them talking quietly* Aug 20 20:48:13 You need me to give you some privacy? Aug 20 20:48:34 HH: Nah, just working out what to do Aug 20 20:50:04 * Morgan nods, going back to chopping the wood Aug 20 20:50:55 *He gets more done before HH says* What you got goin’ on today? Aug 20 20:51:50 Jarvie's gone... going to upset my father later by showing him the mirrors and pretending they weren't there already... Aug 20 20:52:52 HH: Was gonn’ suggest you take Inga up there Aug 20 20:53:15 If thats what you want Aug 20 20:54:25 I can talk to Molly and see what she thinks Aug 20 20:54:35 Have to pry her away from Mina... Aug 20 20:54:56 although... I can take care of that... Aug 20 20:55:56 * Inga smiles “Or maybe Edward could find something for her to do!” Aug 20 20:56:01 *Hh chuckles* Aug 20 20:56:27 * Morgan nods Aug 20 20:56:41 He's spending as much time as he can with Florrie before they head home Aug 20 20:57:25 * Inga nods “I’ll get my shawl” Aug 20 20:57:41 * Morgan nods Aug 20 20:57:42 Alright love Aug 20 20:58:26 * Inga goes inside to get it. HH watches her go Aug 20 20:58:44 * Inga is now known as HH Aug 20 20:58:57 Pretty sure you cockblocked me, man Aug 20 21:00:02 Think you'll find it was Molly and Mina, I'm just running the errand Aug 20 21:00:40 * HH nods Aug 20 21:00:49 You okay to take her?
