**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Nov 14 18:54:42 2024 Nov 14 18:54:42 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Nov 14 18:56:22 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Nov 14 18:56:39 it’s -important- to make sure they have their children Nov 14 18:56:39 Are we going to have another argument like we did about Elsie? Nov 14 18:56:39 do we have to? Nov 14 18:56:39 Its not me pushing us in that direction... Nov 14 18:56:39 * Molly sighs Nov 14 18:56:41 I have to be careful Nov 14 18:56:43 Yes, you do Nov 14 18:56:45 I cannot save the world if I sacrifice myself for this Nov 14 18:56:47 You'd be sacrificing Hirschen Nov 14 18:56:49 And that I cannot do. I cannot give them another child if it means taking another from you Nov 14 18:56:51 * Morgan watches her, his face darkening Nov 14 18:56:53 * Molly looks sad Nov 14 18:56:57 I want them happy Nov 14 18:56:59 I know Nov 14 18:57:01 And I want you happy Nov 14 18:57:03 * Morgan nods Nov 14 18:57:05 I know that too Nov 14 18:57:07 I will be careful Nov 14 18:57:09 I'll be close enough to get back to you if you need to draw on my energy... Nov 14 18:58:22 I think I’m strong enough not to need it Nov 14 19:01:48 * Morgan shrugs Nov 14 19:01:53 Regardless, I'll be nearby Nov 14 19:02:46 * Molly nods Nov 14 19:02:49 thank you Nov 14 19:03:55 * Morgan nods a little Nov 14 19:06:29 I suppose we should join the others Nov 14 19:09:32 * Morgan nods Nov 14 19:09:34 Aye, we should Nov 14 19:09:48 * Molly smiles, kissing his cheek Nov 14 19:10:13 Will you manage until Quiet Hour now? Nov 14 19:11:22 * Morgan nods Nov 14 19:11:24 I imagine so Nov 14 19:13:05 * Molly smiles, smoothing the snug dress over her belly Nov 14 19:13:11 we’ll see, won’t we? Nov 14 19:13:50 * Morgan nods Nov 14 19:13:52 That we will Nov 14 19:14:31 * Molly smiles, moving away and putting cream cloths in each of her pockets Nov 14 19:14:38 Just in case... Nov 14 19:16:22 * Morgan blushes Nov 14 19:16:26 Probably wise Nov 14 19:16:30 * Molly nods Nov 14 19:17:06 Birthday parties can be... exciting... All that removing of ribbons and unwrapping the special gift within... Nov 14 19:17:46 uhhh... I hadn't considered it like that Nov 14 19:19:01 Mmhmm... *she sends him the image of her naked, a red ribbon tied around her hips and thighs, the bow at the point of her mound* Nov 14 19:21:00 * Morgan blushes Nov 14 19:21:24 * Molly smiles fondly Nov 14 19:21:34 Come on, mon petit chou... Nov 14 19:24:07 * Morgan nods Nov 14 19:24:09 Alright blossom Nov 14 19:27:57 *A servant arranges their breakfast, and they eat quickly without small hands taking any before going outside. The croquet set has been put up on the lawn, and the family (minus Edward and Mina) are playing. Everyone seems relaxed. HH has an arm slung over Inga’s shoulder, swinging the mallet idly in the other. She’s the first to notice Molly and Morgan, and she nudges HH in the ribs to draw his attention. He smirks* Nov 14 19:28:30 * Molly is intercepted by Emil who toddles towards her Nov 14 19:28:49 * Morgan looks down at the boy, watching him Nov 14 19:30:28 *Emil holds his arms up, so she picks him up. it’s getting more difficult for her to have him on her hip due to her belly. She speaks quietly* Nov 14 19:30:38 You’d like me to examine Inga? Nov 14 19:31:29 * Morgan nods Nov 14 19:31:32 Yes, please Nov 14 19:32:17 * Molly nods, offering Emil to him Nov 14 19:33:22 * Morgan takes him, looking at the boy Nov 14 19:33:24 Well hello Nov 14 19:33:31 *Emil grins* Nov 14 19:34:05 * Molly goes over to HH and Inga, and the two women go off a little. HH joins Morgan Nov 14 19:34:09 * Molly is now known as HH Nov 14 19:34:17 You’re welcome, man. Nov 14 19:34:37 * Morgan nods Nov 14 19:34:39 I know Nov 14 19:36:33 Hope it was worth the naggin’ I got from yer Da Nov 14 19:36:41 Oh? Nov 14 19:37:15 Summat about everyone being too busy to spend the time as family Nov 14 19:37:48 Ah... well, we're here now Nov 14 19:38:07 * HH nods Nov 14 19:38:15 Here to whack some balls Nov 14 19:39:03 I beat the Eisenfurst at this... Nov 14 19:39:31 what, whacking balls? Nov 14 19:40:54 This game in particular Nov 14 19:43:54 *Alice makes an excellent shot. DeeDee grins, congratulating her as his teammate* Nov 14 19:44:11 He any good? Nov 14 19:45:27 Cant really say I've much to compare to, I've only played twice, and only finished the one game Nov 14 19:45:44 *his neck prickles. Emil immediately looks in Molly’s direction* Nov 14 19:46:22 wanna take Inga’s turn? She handles smaller balls better. Nov 14 19:46:55 Want to take this young man then? Nov 14 19:49:15 Come to your Godfather, wee’un Nov 14 19:49:25 * HH takes him Nov 14 19:49:36 * Morgan hands him over before going to take his turn Nov 14 19:49:54 [she’s fine, baby is getting bigger] Nov 14 19:50:09 [good] Nov 14 19:50:27 *it’s pretty straightforward, and his shot is solid* Nov 14 19:51:14 Ad: Heinzharold, you cannot upgrade your partner partway through! Nov 14 19:51:36 * HH smirks at Morgan Nov 14 19:52:27 HH: Guess yer disqualified then, man Nov 14 19:52:43 * Morgan nods Nov 14 19:52:45 Looks that way Nov 14 19:52:59 *the ladies are busy gossiping* Nov 14 19:53:25 Ad: *he looks at them, and sighs* I suppose we will have to allow it Nov 14 19:53:51 Very gracious of you my lord Nov 14 19:55:53 *Morgan gets to replace Inga, and Emil walks slowly over to the ladies. DeeDee says something quietly to Alice that makes her laugh. Christopher and Verity are on a team, and the score board says they’re ahead, but by the end of the round Morgan and HH win* Nov 14 19:56:56 I could grow to like this game Nov 14 19:57:20 HH: *he grins* Yer not bad at it Nov 14 19:57:34 *Adalbrecht comes to them* Well-played. Nov 14 19:58:05 * Morgan inclines his head Nov 14 19:59:42 Ad: What is taking your brother so long?! it is almost eleven, and he expressed a desire to go to church before lunch. Nov 14 20:00:32 Would you like me to go and find out? Nov 14 20:00:46 *Adalbrecht nods* Yes, go on Nov 14 20:01:02 Aye aye cap'n Nov 14 20:01:10 * Morgan moves off toward the house Nov 14 20:01:17 [I've got to go find Edward apparently] Nov 14 20:03:25 [good luck, my love!] Nov 14 20:03:58 * Morgan heads into the house to find them Nov 14 20:04:38 *he’s near their room when he starts to feel watched* Nov 14 20:04:57 * Morgan glances around Nov 14 20:05:03 * HH is now known as Yensid Nov 14 20:05:23 * Yensid is watching him Nov 14 20:05:50 What are you skulking about for? Aside from it being your natural state... Nov 14 20:06:09 wondered when you want to brush up your skills Nov 14 20:06:41 * Morgan nods a little Nov 14 20:07:12 I've been sent to find Edward, and I think my parents are wanting a day spent together so... either much later or tomorrow I think Nov 14 20:07:55 * Yensid nods Nov 14 20:08:21 Gonna want to bring your lovely wife as a canvas? Nov 14 20:08:47 Deeply unlikely Nov 14 20:09:18 Shame. Maybe I can get my hands on a tailors dummy Nov 14 20:10:37 I suspect thats well within your abilities Nov 14 20:12:01 * Yensid nods Nov 14 20:12:14 Anything in particular you want to be able to do? Nov 14 20:13:18 * Morgan shrugs Nov 14 20:13:32 All come to a bit of a halt while she's with child... Nov 14 20:15:44 Pity, I bet she’d look really nice all bound up *he gives a sleazy grin* Nov 14 20:16:28 Do you ever tire of it? Nov 14 20:17:15 Nope. None of the stuff I showed you before should hurt them if you’re doing it how I told you Nov 14 20:18:26 No, I meant this... this act... Nov 14 20:20:35 * Yensid shrugs Nov 14 20:20:41 Gets the job done Nov 14 20:21:39 * Morgan shrugs a little Nov 14 20:22:55 I can show you the intricate stuff that doesn’t put pressure on her belly, just makes it look sexy Nov 14 20:23:04 * Morgan nods Nov 14 20:23:09 I'd be interested in that Nov 14 20:23:15 * Yensid nods Nov 14 20:23:20 Tomorrow then Nov 14 20:24:24 * Morgan nods Nov 14 20:24:25 Alright Nov 14 20:25:38 * Yensid looks towards Edward’s door that’s slightly ajar Nov 14 20:25:51 what are you doing up here? Nov 14 20:26:57 My fathers sent me to 'find' my brother... he was meant to be taking Mina to church before lunch... Nov 14 20:27:52 * Yensid nods, heading towards the door Nov 14 20:28:12 I'll take care of it, Yensid... Nov 14 20:28:35 * Yensid grins again “Taking all the fun out of it” Nov 14 20:29:20 Sometimes, yes Nov 14 20:29:42 * Yensid inclines his head before heading down a different corridor Nov 14 20:30:57 * Morgan moves closer to the door Nov 14 20:31:27 *it all sounds quiet* Nov 14 20:31:45 * Morgan knocks quietly Nov 14 20:32:00 *there’s no answer, but the door is ajar Nov 14 20:32:21 * Morgan pushes it open a bit further Nov 14 20:33:45 *it’s empty, but he can smell that scent of sex, especially as he’s dreamt of making love to Mina himself. the bed is a mess, and one of her flower-embroidered stockings that he’d treasured in that dream is hung over the bedpost Nov 14 20:34:26 * Morgan backs out of the room, closing the door Nov 14 20:34:42 *he backs right into someone* Nov 14 20:35:28 * Morgan sighs quietly before turning Nov 14 20:35:42 * Yensid is grinning Nov 14 20:35:52 Can’t believe you fell for that Nov 14 20:36:02 For what, Yensid? Nov 14 20:36:18 That I was going away rather than being nosey Nov 14 20:36:53 I'm just quietly grateful it wasn't either of them Nov 14 20:37:47 * Yensid laughs Nov 14 20:38:08 Does look a bit like you were poking around in their lovenest Nov 14 20:38:44 * Morgan shrugs Nov 14 20:38:49 Just trying to find them Nov 14 20:40:05 * Yensid nods Nov 14 20:40:22 Maybe open a window, air it out Nov 14 20:41:09 * Morgan shrugs Nov 14 20:41:13 I'm not going back in there Nov 14 20:41:53 * Yensid chuckles Nov 14 20:42:17 I’d call you a prude, but we both know I know you’re not Nov 14 20:43:23 * Morgan shrugs a little Nov 14 20:43:37 Besides knowing my luck they -would- appear if I went in again Nov 14 20:44:33 * Yensid nods Nov 14 20:45:11 Want me to see where they are? I’ll start with that huge bathtub on the fourth floor, maybe I’ll get lucky Nov 14 20:46:11 Normally Id not be fussed about you embarrassing people but... she's a private person and bound to be struggling with dealing with her first birthday since her father passed Nov 14 20:46:37 I know that, I’m a pervert, I’m not dumb. Nov 14 20:47:30 I know... I was explaining -why- I wasn't wanting you to Nov 14 20:48:59 * Yensid shrugs Nov 14 20:49:09 Maybe they went to church already? Nov 14 20:49:25 perhaps... I'll check the bathroom I think Nov 14 20:49:39 * Yensid grins Nov 14 20:50:00 Plenty a room for a big belly in that Nov 14 20:51:41 * Morgan nods Nov 14 20:51:44 The thought had occurred... Nov 14 20:52:40 I heard you want to learn to box Nov 14 20:53:38 It seems... popular... Nov 14 20:54:45 * Yensid nods Nov 14 20:55:05 I can teach you, but expect bruises and split lips Nov 14 20:55:30 You'd have to be properly dense to not expect it Nov 14 20:55:37 * Yensid grins Nov 14 20:55:46 Your Father didn’t. Nov 14 20:56:04 Thats surprisingly disappointing Nov 14 20:57:03 * Yensid chuckles “We were twenty, and no one had ever clocked his chops before, especially a common rope-merchant’s son” Nov 14 20:57:24 * Morgan looks confused momentarily Nov 14 20:57:41 Ah... I suppose being born into war its not something I expected to avoid Nov 14 20:58:33 * Yensid laughs “Yeah, violence didn’t happen to the Quality Folks back then” Nov 14 20:59:08 What did he expect?! Bit of foot shuffling, a playful jab to the air and thats it? Nov 14 20:59:22 Like fencing but with fists Nov 14 20:59:35 * Morgan rolls his eyes Nov 14 20:59:41 Pouncing about then... Nov 14 21:00:44 Yeah, he got good quick though, we practiced all the time, especially when the other recruits were in the brothels Nov 14 21:05:30 * Morgan nods a little Nov 14 21:05:50 I'm not sure I'll be suited to it... I'm not used to a fight not being for defence... Nov 14 21:06:01 * Yensid nods Nov 14 21:08:07 I’m free tonight before ten... after that, I have a couple of lady friends to visit Nov 14 21:08:19 * Morgan nods Nov 14 21:08:25 I'll see whats happening Nov 14 21:08:48 * Yensid grins “Bit of a voyeur, huh?” Nov 14 21:09:03 Shut up Yensid Nov 14 21:09:46 * Yensid grins more “I’m going to church, you’re going to look at the bath big enough for two” Nov 14 21:11:43 * Morgan nods Nov 14 21:11:56 If you see Edward, tell him fathers getting...well, you now Nov 14 21:12:00 know* Nov 14 21:12:08 will do Nov 14 21:12:24 * Morgan nods, inclining his head before heading upstairs Nov 14 21:15:10 *He doesn’t see anyone on the way to the fourth floor bathroom where the six foot square tub awaits in a large bathroom. it has steps up to it, too risky to set into the floor at that weight. there’s a hearth to heat water, but it would take quite some time. It’s utterly impractical, and he’s never used it, but it would fit him and Molly very nicely, and Yensid’s mention of her belly fitting comes to mind Nov 14 21:16:08 * Morgan nods a little before heading back downstairs Nov 14 21:18:38 *Adalbrecht has gone to tend his correspondence by the time Morgan gets back, but everyone else is content playing and chatting. Molly comes over to him* Nov 14 21:18:43 * Yensid is now known as Molly Nov 14 21:18:53 Did you have any joy upstairs, my love? Nov 14 21:19:00 * Morgan rolls his eyes Nov 14 21:19:12 Bumped into Yensid. He's going to see if they're in church Nov 14 21:19:20 * Molly nods Nov 14 21:19:27 That saves you going Nov 14 21:19:34 Quite. Nov 14 21:20:00 * Molly smiles Nov 14 21:20:08 Which is greatly to my benefit Nov 14 21:20:27 I suppose so Nov 14 21:20:52 It is, because I get to see you Nov 14 21:21:55 * Morgan smiles a little Nov 14 21:22:03 I suppose I'd best read these letters Nov 14 21:22:17 * Molly smiles Nov 14 21:22:51 I should do likewise, but I think I’ll spend Quiet Hour on them Nov 14 21:23:02 There are quite a few... Nov 14 21:23:46 * Molly stretches up, kissing his cheek and whispering “good, when I am on them I’ll get few friction burns from the floor...” Nov 14 21:24:08 * Morgan looks confused Nov 14 21:24:59 * Molly sends him the image of the letters all spread out, and her naked, pregnant and spread on top of them Nov 14 21:25:08 * Morgan blushes Nov 14 21:25:11 oh... oh I see Nov 14 21:25:33 Mmmhmm... only an hour and a half... Nov 14 21:26:08 * Morgan nods Nov 14 21:26:09 Indeed Nov 14 21:28:59 *She gets called to play, and gets fully involved, partnered with DeeDee who seems to be coping well with her being so noticeably pregnant. She’s having fun, and the day is warm, soon using fan to cool off. By the time lunch is being set up on tables by benches nearby, she looks warm enough that it’s likely lucky that she’s on a different team and not stood by Alice as Morgan is. She watches Morgan looking at his wife with a smile Nov 14 21:29:31 * Molly is now known as Alice Nov 14 21:29:45 * Morgan glances at her sidelong Nov 14 21:29:51 You have something to say? Nov 14 21:30:31 That’s a tight dress Nov 14 21:30:44 Believe it or not, I had noticed Nov 14 21:30:59 Oh I’ll bet you did! *she smirks at him* Nov 14 21:32:01 *Molly laughs at something DeeDee says, a hand to her lower back, which only draws more attention to her stomach* Nov 14 21:32:47 * Morgan glances at Alice before blushing Nov 14 21:32:49 Shut up Nov 14 21:33:51 keeping your mallet to hand for modesty? Nov 14 21:35:30 well... I -wasnt- Nov 14 21:36:40 * Alice laughs quietly “She does look happy though” Nov 14 21:36:58 Me nods Nov 14 21:37:06 Thats a fair assessment, aye Nov 14 21:37:33 happy and pregnant. *she smiles faintly* Nov 14 21:38:02 Funnily enough, I'd noticed that... Nov 14 21:38:15 * Alice nods Nov 14 21:38:51 I’m going to make myself absent for a while Nov 14 21:39:24 Why? Nov 14 21:39:54 Edward and I thought it might be easier for Mina if I sit out the birthday celebrations Nov 14 21:40:23 * Morgan frowns Nov 14 21:40:30 I understand the reasoning but I don't like it Nov 14 21:41:08 It’s fine. Florrie will be happy with you all Nov 14 21:42:05 * Morgan nods Nov 14 21:42:12 Where will you be if she wants you? Nov 14 21:43:31 In the nursery in the Veisgraf Wing Nov 14 21:43:40 * Morgan nods Nov 14 21:43:41 Alright Nov 14 21:43:54 [is everything well? you were frowning] Nov 14 21:45:02 [Fine... Alice is going to make herself scarce for the celebrations. I wasn't pleased about it Nov 14 21:45:14 [ah yes...] Nov 14 21:46:07 *Molly heads that way on DeeDee’s arm. He’s hit with a pang of possessiveness like he has had on occasion with Edward since Molly has been increasing* Nov 14 21:46:23 * Morgan looks at the floor, scowling briefly Nov 14 21:46:39 * Alice looks from them to Morgan Nov 14 21:46:53 What’s that about? Nov 14 21:47:41 * Morgan takes a deep breath, before looking at her Nov 14 21:47:58 Getting some really bad moments of possessiveness lately... not proud of it at all Nov 14 21:49:01 * Alice shrugs “If you’re much more attracted now she’s pregnant, maybe your head assumes other men are too?” Nov 14 21:49:11 Yeah, maybe Nov 14 21:50:07 *DeeDee looks to Alice when he gets there* My Lady, I am told you were going indoors, would you like an escort? Nov 14 21:50:50 * Alice smiles “Thanks, yes, that’s good” Nov 14 21:51:09 * Morgan glances at her briefly Nov 14 21:51:39 * Alice looks at more enquiringly Nov 14 21:51:44 Morgan* Nov 14 21:52:20 I'll leave you in the Lieutenants capable hands... Nov 14 21:53:26 * Alice looks like she’s trying not to smirk and inclines her head before going to Florrie a moment. Molly comes to stand right beside Morgan, fan still in hand, but it doesn’t look calculated* Nov 14 21:53:52 D: I will return for lunch, if Edward asks, my Lord Nov 14 21:54:09 * Morgan nods Nov 14 21:54:12 I'll let him know Nov 14 21:54:42 * Alice comes back after a minute, and DeeDee offers his arm, which she takes Nov 14 21:54:52 I’ll see you all later Nov 14 21:55:14 * Morgan nods Nov 14 21:55:16 Alright love Nov 14 21:55:19 *Molly smiles* Enjoy your break, Florrie will be fine with us Nov 14 21:56:17 * Alice nods, and her and DeeDee go. Molly slips her arm around Morgan’s back, the scent of her almost strong enough to make him miss how Claudia watches the two of them go Nov 14 21:57:13 * Alice is now known as Molly Nov 14 21:57:22 I’m sure she’ll be fine, liebling Nov 14 21:57:28 * Morgan nods a little Nov 14 21:57:30 I imagine so Nov 14 21:58:43 * Molly smiles up at him, using the fan to good effect “I understand their reasoning, and if Alice was upset I’d intervene...” Nov 14 21:59:16 * Morgan nods Nov 14 21:59:19 aye Nov 14 22:00:12 But you are... worried? cross? You feel tense... *she gently squeezes the muscle at his flank* Nov 14 22:00:40 I don't ike her being excluded Nov 14 22:02:15 * Molly nods “I know, but softly softly catchy monkey, my love” Nov 14 22:47:50 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 14 23:05:22 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
