Oct 08 18:32:02 Oct 07 21:08:43 * Edward nods Oct 08 18:32:03 Oct 07 21:08:50 That was a possibility Oct 08 18:32:05 Oct 07 21:09:12 * Morgan nods Oct 08 18:32:06 Oct 07 21:12:35 I am glad every day that it did not come to that Oct 08 18:32:08 Oct 07 21:13:42 * Morgan nods Oct 08 18:32:09 Oct 07 21:13:54 I struggle, feeling how I did again Oct 08 18:32:11 Oct 07 21:16:20 * Edward nods Oct 08 18:32:12 Oct 07 21:16:47 I am sorry you’re feeling it.

I cant hide from it, from you... though the feelings are fresh, the -guilt- at it is worse Oct 08 18:32:15 Oct 07 21:19:43 why guilt? Oct 08 18:32:17 Oct 07 21:20:12 At the pain I caused... that I hated you that much... that you were put in that position Oct 08 18:32:19 Oct 07 21:21:26 we are alright, Morgan. I understand. Oct 08 18:32:21 Oct 07 21:22:17 * Morgan nods Oct 08 18:32:23 Oct 07 21:23:09 I know Oct 08 18:32:25 Oct 07 21:24:46 I do not want you feeling guilty Oct 08 18:32:27 Oct 07 21:26:05 Cant say I really want to but thats just how it is Oct 08 18:32:29 Oct 07 21:26:44 * Edward nods Oct 08 18:32:31 Oct 07 21:27:33 I hope you will still attend the festivities for Mimi’s birthday today Oct 08 18:32:33 Oct 07 21:28:54 * Morgan nods Oct 08 18:32:35 Oct 07 21:29:01 It is important Oct 08 18:32:39 Oct 07 21:30:25 it means a lot to me Oct 08 18:32:43 Oct 07 21:30:44 * Morgan nods Oct 08 18:32:45 Oct 07 21:33:55 We could still depart tomorrow Oct 08 18:32:47 Oct 07 21:34:16 If that is what you wish... I would rather you did not Oct 08 18:32:49 Oct 07 21:34:54 I would prefer to stay, but I do not want you to suffer Oct 08 18:32:51 Oct 07 21:35:09 I'm likely to tether you are here or not Oct 08 18:32:53 Oct 07 21:35:42 * Edward nods, sighing Oct 08 18:32:55 Oct 07 21:36:43 it seems so Oct 08 18:32:57 Oct 07 21:40:23 * Morgan nods Oct 08 18:32:59 Oct 07 21:40:25 It is what it is Oct 08 18:33:01 Oct 07 21:42:22 * Edward nods, putting a hand on Morgan’s shoulder Oct 08 18:33:03 Oct 07 21:42:30 I love you, brother. Oct 08 18:33:05 Oct 07 21:42:42 * Morgan bows his head briefly Oct 08 18:33:07 Oct 07 21:42:44 And I you Oct 08 18:33:09 Oct 07 21:44:01 * Edward nods, standing beside him whilst the lake still faintly glows Oct 08 18:33:11 Oct 07 21:46:16 God I could do with a swim Oct 08 18:34:41 * Molly smiles Oct 08 18:34:45 * Molly is now known as Edward Oct 08 18:34:57 The best I can do is the fourth floor bath... Oct 08 18:35:38 * Morgan shakes his head Oct 08 18:35:40 not the same Oct 08 18:36:40 * Edward nods Oct 08 18:36:52 I am still trying to tempt Mimi up there Oct 08 18:37:01 oh? Oct 08 18:38:30 She’s unsure that she wants the staff knowing we did so Oct 08 18:38:51 There's always the option to clean up after yourselves Oct 08 18:39:35 After hauling, heating, and bailing all that water? Oct 08 18:40:13 I didn't.... well, you don't need to worry about heating it... Oct 08 18:41:05 * Edward smiles Oct 08 18:41:15 I did wonder if you could be prevailed upon Oct 08 18:42:09 * Morgan nods Oct 08 18:42:10 reckon so Oct 08 18:42:26 I will speak to her. Have you taken Molly up there? Oct 08 18:42:34 * Morgan shakes his head Oct 08 18:42:36 no, not yet Oct 08 18:43:22 * Edward nods Oct 08 18:43:50 Are you also worried about the servants knowing? Oct 08 18:44:07 * Morgan smiles slightly Oct 08 18:44:16 Trust me when I tell you the staff know -everything- Oct 08 18:46:07 * Edward nods Oct 08 18:46:21 I try not to think of that Oct 08 18:47:04 It doesn't bother me... we just have not had opportunity... there's been a lot weighing on me Oct 08 18:47:13 * Edward nods Oct 08 18:47:47 Until Sascha’s babies arrive safely I would imagine that will continue Oct 08 18:48:03 * Morgan nods Oct 08 18:48:06 I would imagine so Oct 08 18:49:06 If there is anything I can do... Not with the births, of course Oct 08 18:49:21 God, you'd be awful Oct 08 18:50:02 * Edward nods Oct 08 18:50:23 I would be unconscious for most of it Oct 08 18:50:29 * Morgan nods Oct 08 18:50:37 Edward, could you hand me the... oh, he's fainted Oct 08 18:50:43 * Edward nods Oct 08 18:51:05 I am hoping to have seen the last of -that- for some time. Oct 08 18:51:20 * Morgan smiles a little Oct 08 18:51:23 we can hope Oct 08 18:51:33 * Edward nods Oct 08 18:51:51 I need to find a suitable opportunity today to that end Oct 08 18:52:12 * Morgan nods Oct 08 18:52:56 What do you have planned for her today? Oct 08 18:53:56 Breakfast in bed, then we will go to church. We will return for lunch. Late afternoon we’ll have a tea party on the lawn with gifts and cake Oct 08 18:54:12 best arrange a gift then, huh Oct 08 18:54:25 * Edward frowns Oct 08 18:54:31 You have not already? Oct 08 18:54:44 Sometimes, brother, you are -far- too easy a mark Oct 08 18:56:06 * Edward pushes him gently Oct 08 18:56:46 Its not much though... Oct 08 18:58:42 Yes, but you cannot help that, brother *he smiles* Oct 08 18:59:59 * Morgan shrugs Oct 08 19:00:02 I've had no complaints Oct 08 19:00:16 * Edward smiles Oct 08 19:00:26 two happy customers... *he chuckles* Oct 08 19:01:08 quite Oct 08 19:02:51 * Edward nods “I would be unable to count, though certainly none from the most important one” Oct 08 19:03:05 * Morgan nods slowly Oct 08 19:03:07 Potts... Oct 08 19:04:15 Close as we are, neither of us are that way inclined. Oct 08 19:04:51 * Morgan nods a little Oct 08 19:05:10 I don't judge... unless you're from Vodacce... Oct 08 19:06:52 * Edward laughs Oct 08 19:07:06 They have some very beautiful ladies Oct 08 19:07:22 I think most of them try to be beautiful ladies... Oct 08 19:09:41 * Edward smiles Oct 08 19:09:52 All women everywhere, I think Oct 08 19:10:19 I was referring to the -entire- populous of Vodacce... Oct 08 19:12:26 Ah yes Oct 08 19:12:44 what have you got for her? Oct 08 19:15:53 A matching set of earrings, necklace, and bracelet set in rose gold with diamonds Oct 08 19:16:23 * Morgan blows out his cheeks Oct 08 19:16:33 Impressive Oct 08 19:19:06 * Edward nods Oct 08 19:19:36 I saw it several years ago in Neptunbrunnen Oct 08 19:20:37 * Morgan nods slowly Oct 08 19:21:42 * Edward smiles Oct 08 19:22:01 I am pleased to finally share her birthday as my wife Oct 08 19:22:26 * Morgan nods Oct 08 19:22:32 Its been a long time coming Oct 08 19:24:15 * Edward nods, looking out east where it’s getting lighter Oct 08 19:24:30 we would not be here if it wasn’t for you Oct 08 19:24:54 You'd have been here sooner if not for me Oct 08 19:27:21 Perhaps, but would I have appreciated her as much? Oct 08 19:28:02 * Morgan shrugs Oct 08 19:28:05 impossible to say Oct 08 19:29:51 I would not have appreciated you as much. Oct 08 19:30:40 that, I think, is accurate Oct 08 19:31:48 * Edward nods Oct 08 19:32:18 We have come a long way Oct 08 19:32:24 * Morgan nods Oct 08 19:32:26 we really have Oct 08 19:34:36 * Edward watches the sun start to rise. Ballard comes to Morgan’s side Oct 08 19:35:32 * Morgan leans down, stroking the dog Oct 08 19:35:46 I've got a concerning feeling she will be disappointed with what I have for her Oct 08 19:37:11 What is it? Oct 08 19:37:38 just a drawing Oct 08 19:39:37 * Edward smiles Oct 08 19:39:47 She will like that Oct 08 19:39:53 * Morgan shrugs a little Oct 08 19:39:57 maybe Oct 08 19:42:06 One hopes it is nothing too rude for Father Oct 08 19:42:22 * Morgan sighs Oct 08 19:42:29 I could probably draw some clothes on it this morning Oct 08 19:44:34 * Edward chuckles Oct 08 19:46:10 I’d like to see it before you do Oct 08 19:46:23 why? Oct 08 19:47:43 Curiosity Oct 08 19:48:14 hmmm... I'm not sure Oct 08 19:49:31 You’re too prudish to draw naked pictures Oct 08 19:50:13 that is not true... but... I was more thinking I'd like you both to see it together Oct 08 19:50:24 * Edward nods Oct 08 19:50:30 Very well, brother Oct 08 19:51:52 *Ballard moves to sniff Edward’s hand, and he pats the dog idly* Oct 08 19:52:05 just... try not to be too disappointed, yeah? Oct 08 19:52:49 * Edward nods Oct 08 19:53:00 I’ll do my best Oct 08 19:53:46 * Morgan nods, looking around Oct 08 19:55:54 *its all peaceful. The sun comes up as it usually does* Oct 08 19:56:11 I've got a drawing for you... Oct 08 19:58:34 Yes? Oct 08 19:59:01 * Morgan nods, taking a small roll of paper from his pocket and handing it over Oct 08 20:00:22 * Edward opens it Oct 08 20:02:44 *its a drawing of Florrie sat on Mina's lap from a few days before Varick and Emil's baptism* Oct 08 20:03:47 * Edward nods, staring at it. He coughs briefly “Thank you, Morgan” Oct 08 20:04:33 * Morgan nods a little Oct 08 20:05:56 It is beautiful. I will have it framed Oct 08 20:06:30 * Morgan nods Oct 08 20:06:44 I remember how... earth shaking it was Oct 08 20:07:52 * Edward nods Oct 08 20:08:00 I want Mimi to love her Oct 08 20:08:28 * Morgan nods Oct 08 20:08:29 I know Oct 08 20:10:04 * Edward looks at it a little longer before rolling it up again Oct 08 20:10:08 thank you Oct 08 20:10:14 of course Oct 08 20:11:05 * Edward looks to the sky Oct 08 20:11:12 If you’ll excuse me... Oct 08 20:11:17 * Morgan nods Oct 08 20:11:20 of course Oct 08 20:11:30 * Edward goes back to the house Oct 08 20:12:12 * Morgan waits a few minutes more before heading back to find Molly Oct 08 20:13:23 * Edward is now known as Molly Oct 08 20:13:39 * Molly is awake but still in bed Oct 08 20:14:05 * Morgan sighs, moving to sit on the end of the bed Oct 08 20:14:16 * Molly watches him Oct 08 20:14:27 what’s wrong, my love? Oct 08 20:14:50 rough night Oct 08 20:15:21 Magic? Oct 08 20:15:57 no... no thank you, I'll be alright Oct 08 20:16:40 Would you like to hear him? Oct 08 20:16:56 * Morgan nods Oct 08 20:17:01 he is alright? you are? Oct 08 20:17:42 * Molly nods Oct 08 20:18:21 we are absolutely fine *she pushes the sheets down, revealing her belly* Oct 08 20:18:38 * Morgan nods, moving to put his ear to her belly Oct 08 20:20:05 *he can hear the little sound right away, and smell that scent strongly* Oct 08 20:20:37 * Morgan closes his eyes, listening Oct 08 20:21:18 *the heart sounds steady and strong* Oct 08 20:21:46 * Morgan listens for a couple of minutes before sitting up Oct 08 20:23:50 * Molly smiles, rubbing her bump Oct 08 20:23:55 better, love? Oct 08 20:24:08 * Morgan nods Oct 08 20:24:11 aye, much Oct 08 20:26:20 wonderful Oct 08 20:27:01 * Morgan nods, stretching his shoulders Oct 08 20:27:08 Could be a tough day Oct 08 20:28:45 * Molly sighs Oct 08 20:28:53 It often is, isn’t it? Oct 08 20:29:37 Mina's birthday... her first without her father... Oct 08 20:30:15 * Molly nods Oct 08 20:30:26 She will be sad Oct 08 20:30:38 * Morgan nods Oct 08 20:30:51 I think Edward intends to keep her mind occupied Oct 08 20:32:07 * Molly smiles slightly Oct 08 20:32:16 Yes... they are not on rest day today Oct 08 20:33:12 no, apparently not Oct 08 20:34:15 Perhaps today will be the day your nephew or niece is made Oct 08 20:35:29 that'd be nice Oct 08 20:36:29 * Molly smiles, looking at her stomach Oct 08 20:36:45 Your cousin, little Hirschen... Oct 08 20:37:18 * Morgan smiles, putting a hand to her belly Oct 08 20:39:25 * Molly smiles, watching him fondly, her skin warm, body firm Oct 08 20:39:56 not too long now Oct 08 20:40:48 until? Oct 08 20:41:13 Our son arrives... only a few months Oct 08 20:42:13 yes... it is. Oct 08 20:42:49 lets hope the twins don't decide to make their appearance today Oct 08 20:44:04 That would be most impractical. Perhaps I should go down and check? Oct 08 20:44:19 might be an idea actually Oct 08 20:45:53 * Molly nods Oct 08 20:46:06 I’ll do that after breakfast, I think Oct 08 20:46:15 * Morgan nods Oct 08 20:46:23 I believe Edward is taking Mina to church... Oct 08 20:46:41 would you rather come with me? Oct 08 20:47:17 Tough one... I'd rather, yes, but... will we be expected to be there Oct 08 20:48:14 I don’t know, liebling Oct 08 20:48:21 * Morgan shrugs Oct 08 20:48:25 we'll find out I suppose Oct 08 20:49:36 * Molly nods. She sits up so she can gently kiss him Oct 08 20:49:56 * Morgan sighs contentedly Oct 08 20:52:19 * Molly brings a hand gently to his cheek “Everything is alright, my love. You can feel how much he is making me grow” Oct 08 20:52:26 * Morgan nods Oct 08 20:52:32 just... a path, but it was horrible Oct 08 20:53:14 do you want me to to tell you, or would you prefer to be kissed again? Oct 08 20:53:29 do you want to tell me* Oct 08 20:53:50 'll tell you, in case it sparks anything Oct 08 20:54:17 Go on Oct 08 20:58:29 * Morgan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Oct 08 21:11:55 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
