Adalbrecht and Verity have gone indoors Sep 04 20:36:53 * Morgan moves near Molly, watching the children Sep 04 20:36:55 *the breeze of the lake means the scent of her will be a problem if he stays this close. The children are rolling a ball to each other Sep 04 20:36:59 * Morgan moves a little Sep 04 20:37:01 *Edward notices this, frowning slightly as he watches both Morgan and Molly* Sep 04 20:37:03 * Morgan looks at him questioningly Sep 04 20:37:05 Ed: Is all well, brother? Sep 04 20:37:09 * DeeDee then looks up, concerned Sep 04 20:37:11 * Morgan nods it is Sep 04 20:37:13 [how do you feel now?] Sep 04 20:37:15 [calmer] Sep 04 20:37:17 [wonderful] Sep 04 20:37:19 [bit of a different challenge with him] Sep 04 20:37:21 *Emil comes over to Morgan, laughing when he gets to his legs* Sep 04 20:37:23 * Morgan smiles, picking him up Sep 04 20:37:25 Well hello little man Sep 04 20:37:27 *Emil grins, not even slightly burdened by the things that were burdening Morgan* Sep 04 20:40:59 *Jacques comes over to Morgan* Excuse me, my Lord Sep 04 20:41:36 Yes Jacques?

Sep 04 20:45:06 I wondered if I could leave a note for my father please Sep 04 20:45:16 Of course... is everything alright? Sep 04 20:46:21 * Jacques nods, smiling Sep 04 20:46:47 yes, my Lord, I want to tell him about how big the kitchens are and that I’m alright Sep 04 20:47:19 * Morgan nods Sep 04 20:47:21 Come on then lad Sep 04 20:47:29 [we're going to leave a note for Walder] Sep 04 20:49:41 * Jacques nods, walking slightly behind him Sep 04 20:49:51 [Yes, my love] Sep 04 20:50:00 * Morgan reaches back a little, pulling him level Sep 04 20:50:22 Are you enjoying yourself here? Sep 04 20:50:35 * Jacques nods, smiling “yes, my Lord” Sep 04 20:50:58 Nice to just be here, not working? Sep 04 20:51:32 Yes... Sep 04 20:51:46 But? Sep 04 20:52:02 I have always done work, my Lord Sep 04 20:52:18 You're feeling a little out of sorts because you're not used to it? Sep 04 20:53:32 * Jacques nods Sep 04 20:53:57 Yes, my Lord. I don’t know how to be a boy like Rickon and Varick are boys Sep 04 20:54:39 I can relate to that to a point.. Sep 04 20:55:23 how, my Lord? Sep 04 20:56:04 We were born into war... coming home when it ended, none of us really knew ho to be anything else but at war Sep 04 20:56:29 * Jacques nods, walking beside him Sep 04 20:56:34 what did you do? Sep 04 20:58:45 We just... we had to learn how to just be men Sep 04 20:59:14 * Jacques nods Sep 04 20:59:26 When will the tutor come, my Lord? Sep 04 21:00:07 I need to consult with Molly about that Sep 04 21:00:31 * Jacques nods Sep 04 21:01:26 One day I’d like to have a good job, like Heinrich Sep 04 21:01:42 You want to be an overseer? Sep 04 21:02:12 Or something like that, my Lord. Something that smart men do Sep 04 21:02:21 * Morgan nods Sep 04 21:02:30 Perhaps you and Varick will be friends like HeinzHarold and I are Sep 04 21:03:32 * Jacques nods enthusiastically Sep 04 21:03:49 And Rickon. We will be like the three wise men Sep 04 21:04:27 * Morgan smiles, nodding Sep 04 21:06:04 Varick wants to bring gold, I want to bring Frank’s incense, and Rickon wants to bring More Sep 04 21:07:40 * Morgan nods slowly Sep 04 21:07:46 I see Sep 04 21:08:52 * Jacques nods “Which would you bring?” Sep 04 21:09:14 * Morgan smiles a little Sep 04 21:09:24 Probably a bad attitude and a surprising amount of strength Sep 04 21:09:44 * Jacques looks thoughtful Sep 04 21:10:06 I don’t think the baby Jesus needed to first one Sep 04 21:11:58 No, he already had a donkey I suppose Sep 04 21:14:24 * Jacques nods. he is very good on the walk back to the Veisgraf Wing, and waits in the parlour whilst Morgan retrieves the mirror. When he gets into the bedroom, the dressing gown behind the door smells strongly of her Sep 04 21:14:58 * Morgan takes a moment before collecting the mirror Sep 04 21:15:32 * Jacques is waiting patiently at the table, not fighting as other nine year old boys would be Sep 04 21:16:47 * Morgan hands him some paper and a pencil Sep 04 21:19:10 * Jacques starts to write quite smoothly for a boy who has been a servant since toddlerhood Sep 04 21:19:56 * Morgan watches him Sep 04 21:20:17 *He appears to be writing in Montaigne* Sep 04 21:21:06 I recall you telling me Walder can only read in Montaigne? Sep 04 21:22:36 * Jacques nods “Yes, my Lord, but Theresa is teaching him Eisen too” Sep 04 21:22:49 * Morgan nods Sep 04 21:22:51 That'll be useful Sep 04 21:23:23 * Jacques nods Sep 04 21:23:43 My mother taught him to read and write in Montaigne Sep 04 21:24:07 * Morgan nods Sep 04 21:24:18 Aye, I remember Sep 04 21:25:15 * Jacques checks his letter Sep 04 21:25:25 Her family were nobility Sep 04 21:26:00 Oh? I don't think I knew that Sep 04 21:27:11 * Jacques nods Sep 04 21:27:29 They mostly got their heads cut off. Sep 04 21:28:01 * Morgan nods Sep 04 21:28:05 unfortunate Sep 04 21:28:11 * Jacques nods Sep 04 21:28:38 He saved her, but he doesn’t tell people incase they think he’s prideful Sep 04 21:29:14 He should be. Saving someone is an achievement he should be proud of Sep 04 21:29:26 * Jacques nods Sep 04 21:29:38 I think maybe he would if she hadn’t died Sep 04 21:29:48 * Morgan nods, sighing Sep 04 21:29:50 It changes a man Sep 04 21:30:29 * Jacques nods Sep 04 21:31:12 He saved her, but then she died having me, and she wouldn’t have had me if he hadn’t rescued her Sep 04 21:31:33 * Morgan nods Sep 04 21:31:58 Its a difficult thing, feeling that sadness and joy about two parts of the same event Sep 04 21:33:49 * Jacques nods Sep 04 21:34:27 I don’t blame him, but I think maybe a man might blame himself if his wife dies having their baby, my Lord? Sep 04 21:35:00 * Morgan nods Sep 04 21:35:10 Yes, he does Sep 04 21:37:20 * Jacques hands over his note Sep 04 21:37:42 * Morgan uncovers the mirror to check for a note before placing Jacques' note on it Sep 04 21:41:04 *It is also in Montaigne m the writing less smooth. It says “I am glad you’re having a good time and being good. We miss you here at home, I’ll check later. Love, Father.” Sep 04 21:41:18 * Morgan shows it to Jacques Sep 04 21:49:04 * Jacques smiles Sep 04 21:55:30 I think he’ll like my letter Sep 04 21:55:44 * Morgan nods, putting it on and wrapping it up Sep 04 22:00:24 Thank you, my Lord Sep 04 22:00:30 * Morgan smiles Sep 04 22:00:32 Of course lad Sep 04 22:06:56 * Jacques looks towards the hallway as there’s the sound of running feet. It sounds like Varick and Florrie Sep 04 22:09:08 I wasn’t allowed to run when Freiarr and Freiarrin Eldreich were in Innesbruck Sep 04 22:09:45 * Morgan nods Sep 04 22:10:04 Things are different now... Sep 04 22:11:15 * Jacques nods Sep 04 22:11:38 It8s nicer to work there now, my Lord Sep 04 22:12:19 *The children seem to have gone in the nursery, but Molly comes into the parlour, smiling gently* M: Is everything well? Sep 04 22:13:04 * Morgan nods, leaning against the table Sep 04 22:13:13 You don't work there now Jacques... you can just be a boy Sep 04 22:15:11 * Jacques nods “Yes, my Lord” Sep 04 22:17:10 * Morgan nods Sep 04 22:17:15 Want to go join the others and play? Sep 04 22:18:06 * Jacques nods “yes please” Sep 04 22:18:46 Off you go then Sep 04 22:19:53 * Jacques does so Sep 04 22:19:57 * Jacques is now known as Molly Sep 04 22:20:38 * Molly gently shuts the door behind him Sep 04 22:20:46 Are you alright, my love? Sep 04 22:21:35 * Morgan nods, sighing Sep 04 22:21:57 aye... think Jacques is finding the transition from staff to just being a boy difficult Sep 04 22:22:29 * Molly nods Sep 04 22:23:13 It’ll take some time, just like going from being a farmer’s daughter to a maid to a Veisgraf’s intended did Sep 04 22:23:27 * Morgan nods Sep 04 22:23:29 Aye, I know Sep 04 22:25:40 * Molly comes to embrace him Sep 04 22:25:52 I am sure he’ll be fine, my love Sep 04 22:26:04 * Morgan nods, hugging her Sep 04 22:50:49 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Sep 04 23:34:16 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
