**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Nov 15 19:08:22 2024 Nov 15 19:08:22 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Nov 15 19:29:31 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Nov 15 19:30:44 * Alice comes back after a minute, and DeeDee offers his arm, which she takes Nov 15 19:30:44 I’ll see you all later Nov 15 19:30:44 * Morgan nods Nov 15 19:30:44 Alright love Nov 15 19:30:44 *Molly smiles* Enjoy your break, Florrie will be fine with us Nov 15 19:30:47 * 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 15 19:30:49 * Alice is now known as Molly Nov 15 19:30:51 I’m sure she’ll be fine, liebling Nov 15 19:30:53 * Morgan nods a little Nov 15 19:30:55 I imagine so Nov 15 19:30:59 * Molly smiles up at him, using the fan to good effect “I understand their reasoning, and if Alice was upset I’d intervene...” Nov 15 19:31:01 * Morgan nods Nov 15 19:31:03 aye Nov 15 19:31:05 But you are... worried? cross? You feel tense... *she gently squeezes the muscle at his flank* Nov 15 19:31:07 I don't ike her being excluded Nov 15 19:31:09 * Molly nods “I know, but softly softly catchy monkey, my love” Nov 15 19:33:01 * Morgan sighs Nov 15 19:33:04 I suppose Nov 15 19:36:48 *They get distracted by the four children, and start lunch when Adalbrecht arrives. Mina and Edward arrive ten minutes into the meal. They look tidy and smart, but Mina has on a fichu he hasn’t seen before, now something she often wears Nov 15 19:37:21 not* Nov 15 19:37:41 * Morgan watches them surrepticiously Nov 15 19:38:36 * Molly nudges Inga beside her before quietly whispering something to her that makes the blonde smile Nov 15 19:39:29 Ad: There you finally are. *he gets up and takes Mina’s hand* Happy birthday, Mina Nov 15 19:42:05 *Mina smiles, thanking him. She looks a little more subdued than usual. The others go to wish her a happy birthday, though Florrie is playing with Emil, putting his shoes on and off whilst he lies there chewing his rattle Nov 15 19:42:33 [a pretty fichu...] Nov 15 19:43:59 [quite so] Nov 15 19:44:30 * Molly smiles at him a little after passing on her congratulations Nov 15 19:44:44 [it’s very warm for it though...] Nov 15 19:44:53 [Yes, it is] Nov 15 19:46:41 [perhaps she’s as bruised as you.] *The bite marks he’d wanted the day before yesterday are still lingering beneath the neckline of his shirt* Nov 15 19:47:08 [I rather suspect its something along those lines] Nov 15 19:47:52 [Inga and I will find out!] Nov 15 19:48:22 [go gently love] Nov 15 19:48:39 *The newcomers get lunch, and explain that they decided to just go quietly to church after breakfast* Nov 15 19:49:02 [naturally, but she does like a little gossip herself] Nov 15 19:49:49 * Morgan nods a little Nov 15 19:50:46 * Molly sips her coffee [that doesn’t sound like a morning that would require a fichu!] Nov 15 19:51:21 [No...suffice to say they decided to air out their room...] Nov 15 19:52:05 [did something get spilled?] Nov 15 19:53:06 [oh definitely] Nov 15 19:53:38 *They all chat together easily. Despite her plans to be absent, Claudia is still here, sat beside Uinise. Molly gives him a little playful smirk* Nov 15 19:53:44 [was it paint?] Nov 15 19:54:33 [funnily enough...] Nov 15 19:55:32 * Molly smiles, letting Emil up into her lap [but no floors were licked?] Nov 15 19:56:06 [I wouldn't have thought so] Nov 15 19:56:23 HH takes a break from stuffing his face to gesture $your wife looks happy$ Nov 15 19:57:12 * Molly nods slightly, and undoes her dress for the boy Nov 15 19:57:32 $She's decided there may be gossip$ Nov 15 19:57:58 HH $this close to Quiet Hour?!$ Nov 15 19:58:59 *He hears DeeDee say to Edward* I can go this afternoon instead, I know a tavern I can stay at come nightfall Nov 15 19:59:14 * Morgan looks over Nov 15 20:00:12 *Edward nods* I’d appreciate it. I am keen to get a fresh report from Graben Nov 15 20:00:43 *Claudia is frowning a little* $I thought they were all going tomorrow?$ Nov 15 20:00:57 *HH nods and gestures “me too” Nov 15 20:01:04 $plans have changed. My parents wanted them to stay longer$ Nov 15 20:01:43 C: $but not DeeDee? He’s going alone past where we saw the ice bastard?!$ Nov 15 20:02:24 *DeeDee nods* I’ll be underway within the hour then Nov 15 20:02:38 * Morgan looks at Edward before making a discreet gesture at him Nov 15 20:03:10 * Molly watches the out-loud conversation, but notes the gesturing going on amongst the others Nov 15 20:03:58 *Edward looks to Morgan* Brother, perhaps I could have a minute of your time? Nov 15 20:04:59 * Morgan nods Nov 15 20:05:00 Of course Nov 15 20:05:28 * Molly is now known as Edward Nov 15 20:05:56 * Edward kisses Mina’s knuckles then stands, walking towards the building Nov 15 20:06:05 * Morgan gets up, following him Nov 15 20:08:54 * Edward looks at him “What is the matter?” Nov 15 20:09:18 I think you should tell DeeDee about the mirrors... Nov 15 20:11:35 Why? Nov 15 20:12:12 You could get a much quicker report about whats going on there, and influence it as needed Nov 15 20:13:40 * Edward nods Nov 15 20:13:49 I think you might be right Nov 15 20:13:55 * Morgan nods Nov 15 20:14:03 He's already more accepting of that sort of thing... Nov 15 20:15:30 * Edward nods “Alright. How would you like to handle it?” Nov 15 20:15:41 well...where's yours? Nov 15 20:17:36 Locked inside a box, in a locked drawer, in my locked office Nov 15 20:18:22 right... that would've been the easiest solution really Nov 15 20:19:33 I have the key to the locked box my other keys live in Nov 15 20:20:00 You'd allow him to use it? Nov 15 20:20:26 * Edward looks unsure Nov 15 20:20:49 If he breaks it, my connection to you will be severed for several weeks Nov 15 20:20:59 * Morgan nods Nov 15 20:21:10 I can probably supply another to take with him... Nov 15 20:21:30 Yes, I think that is preferable Nov 15 20:21:49 * Morgan nods Nov 15 20:22:00 Alright, I'll arrange it before he leaves and show him how to use it Nov 15 20:23:06 * Edward nods Nov 15 20:23:26 Do I need to ask him to wait until after Quiet Hour to go? Nov 15 20:23:40 I think that would be best, don't you? Nov 15 20:24:05 * Edward smiles slightly “I had no plans for that hour” Nov 15 20:25:22 No? Nov 15 20:25:53 * Edward smiles “I could do with a few hours to replenish my stocks” Nov 15 20:26:04 Ah, I see Nov 15 20:26:31 However, I will suggest he waits, for yours and Molly’s sake Nov 15 20:26:40 * Morgan nods Nov 15 20:27:02 Perhaps you can use that time to demonstrate it and clarify what it is you want him to do or check on Nov 15 20:27:12 * Edward nods Nov 15 20:27:36 That is a good idea, brother Nov 15 20:28:01 * Morgan nods Nov 15 20:28:04 I have them occasionally Nov 15 20:28:25 * Edward nods Nov 15 20:28:51 We should finish eating first Nov 15 20:28:56 * Morgan nods Nov 15 20:28:57 Absolutely Nov 15 20:29:51 * Edward nods, wandering back over. He says to DeeDee that they’ll talk after lunch. The only one who looks particularly uneasy is Claudia Nov 15 20:30:38 $Whats wrong?$ Nov 15 20:30:59 C: Seems dangerous. Nov 15 20:32:28 *Molly, to Mina* I had twelve letters today. I have never had to keep a proper correspondence before. Perhaps tomorrow you would show me the best way? Nov 15 20:32:49 $Dangerous? Howso?$ Nov 15 20:33:26 *Mina smiles* Yes, I can. I might be able to make time this afternoon Nov 15 20:33:51 HH: $if you don’t want to lose Quiet Hour, you might want to intervene!$ Nov 15 20:34:27 [are you planning to have her show you during quiet hour?] Nov 15 20:34:46 C: *she frowns a little at HH* $Schneeskald, ice bastard... hell, ashkoven?$ Nov 15 20:35:08 [not if you would like my time and energies, my love...] Nov 15 20:35:34 [I think, given the occasion, I will manage] Nov 15 20:35:55 $How do you want me to try to make that better?$ Nov 15 20:36:47 [alright, I’ll spend a little time with Mina, and then if I need it, some time with myself...] *she smiles faintly whilst she tells Mina that would be lovely* Nov 15 20:37:02 * Morgan nods a little Nov 15 20:37:08 C $maybe someone should go with him$ Nov 15 20:37:17 $Who?$ Nov 15 20:37:32 C: $I don’t know$ Nov 15 20:38:34 HH $no way of doing that without looking over-protective. Besides, he might have brothels to stop at, or ladies to visit$ Nov 15 20:39:13 *Claudias micro expression shows unease, but she just shrugs* Nov 15 20:39:41 $Or maybe someone should tell him they care about him and ask him to be careful$ Nov 15 20:41:06 *Hh smirks $you know what, I’ve known him a while, I reckon he and I are ready to take that step together$ Nov 15 20:41:47 C: $Shut up, Heinzharold...$ Nov 15 20:41:59 * Morgan smiles a little, eating Nov 15 20:44:10 *the others don’t notice, still eating. By quarter before two, it’s gotten hotter, and Molly says “My love, would you help me find a parasol? I do not want more freckles!” Nov 15 20:45:02 * Morgan nods Nov 15 20:45:04 Of course love Nov 15 20:45:42 * Edward is now known as Molly Nov 15 20:47:01 * Molly excuses them from the coffee-drinking-and-chatting that’s going on. Emil is being cuddled by Verity, and Varick and Jacques are playing with Ballard. Florrie is quietly playing with her doll Nov 15 20:47:26 * Molly heads towards the nearest door Nov 15 20:47:49 * Morgan follows her Nov 15 20:48:53 * Molly glances around the tiny corridor when they get in and the heavy door has been closed behind them before she presses herself to him and kisses him soundly Nov 15 20:49:29 * Morgan wraps his arms around her, kissing her firmly Nov 15 20:50:06 * Molly makes a little mmhmm before pressing her bump against his body as she deepens the kiss Nov 15 20:50:28 * Morgan moans quietly Nov 15 20:51:29 * Molly pulls away, checking again that they’re alone, though she keeps her body to his Nov 15 20:52:03 risky Nov 15 20:52:11 * Molly smiles warmly Nov 15 20:52:20 yes, that’s what makes it so delicious Nov 15 20:53:22 You are struggling? Nov 15 20:54:12 * Molly speaks quietly “I am coping, but I want to ensure you cannot forget me whilst I am out of sight...” Nov 15 20:54:37 Never -ever- going to happen Nov 15 20:56:00 * Molly kisses him again after another glance around, pressing him gently back against the wood panelling, her mouth warm and tasting of his favourite coffee Nov 15 20:56:43 * Morgan makes a quiet noise of enjoyment Nov 15 20:58:45 * Molly reflexively does likewise, her hands on his flanks. She breaks the kiss enough to whisper “Imagine you could have me here, just like this, hidden away for mutual pleasure as the world goes on around us unawares...” Nov 15 20:59:30 We'd definitely get caught Nov 15 21:00:53 * Molly places a quick soft kiss to his lips “You’d have to listen out, and I’d have to keep my moans of ecstasy quiet and against your neck...” Nov 15 21:01:07 We both know that doesn't work Nov 15 21:01:16 Do we? Nov 15 21:01:24 * Morgan nods Nov 15 21:01:29 You cant help but make noise Nov 15 21:02:32 mmm, it is you that makes me make noise with your skills... *she licks his lower lip* when I touch -myself-, I can be as quiet as a church mouse... Nov 15 21:03:29 * Morgan nods a little Nov 15 21:04:26 * Molly watches him a moment before kissing him more chastely “I should desist?” Nov 15 21:04:44 Really, yes you should Nov 15 21:04:59 If that is your wish, my love Nov 15 21:05:45 Best had love Nov 15 21:06:19 * Molly nods with a little sigh “Pity. We should look for a parasol” Nov 15 21:06:48 * Morgan nods Nov 15 21:06:51 Yes, we should Nov 15 21:07:22 * Molly takes a deep breath, and smooths the fitted dress down over her stomach Nov 15 21:08:34 Alright then... Nov 15 21:09:00 * Morgan gently takes her hand Nov 15 22:01:40 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 15 22:09:31 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
