**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Nov 17 12:57:18 2024 Nov 17 12:57:18 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Nov 17 14:02:44 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 17 18:38:48 * MorganK (~MorganKoe@host81-129-176-108.range81-129.btcentralplus.com) has joined Nov 17 18:39:08 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Nov 17 18:39:38 Do I need to clean it or store it a particular way? Nov 17 18:39:38 [I think Mina and I are already finished, it doesn’t take long to understand her system] Nov 17 18:39:38 Just a quick dust now and then I think... I can't say we've had to clean ours at all.... And you need to store it carefully Nov 17 18:39:38 * DeeDee nods Nov 17 18:39:38 I will be very careful, my Lord Nov 17 18:39:41 * MorganK nods Nov 17 18:39:43 Perhaps it'd be worth you telling DeeDee exactly what it is you want to know once he arrives Nov 17 18:39:45 *Edward nods* I can do that. Do you need to go, brother? Nov 17 18:39:47 I think I shall, yes Nov 17 18:39:49 *Edward smiles* If you leave me the key I will lock up when we are done Nov 17 18:39:51 * DeeDee looks to Morgan “My Lord, If you see Madame Regenstag, could you let her know I would like to speak to her before I depart?” Nov 17 18:39:53 * MorganK nods Nov 17 18:39:55 I'll let her know Nov 17 18:39:57 Thank you Nov 17 18:39:59 *Edward holds out his hand for the key* Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do, brother. -Definitely- don’t do anything Zench wouldn’t do. Nov 17 18:40:04 * MorganK chuckles, handing him the key before nodding to them and letting himself out Nov 17 18:40:39 *The two women are still gossiping when he gets up there* Nov 17 18:40:58 Ladies... Nov 17 18:42:26 * Molly smiles warmly, surrounded by letters. Mina smiles too, standing up “I will let you enjoy the remainder of your Quiet Hour” Nov 17 18:43:27 I have something for you later... Nov 17 18:44:04 *they exchange a smirk before Mina says “Thank you, I look forward to it” Nov 17 18:44:19 * MorganK inclines his head, letting her go Nov 17 18:44:43 *Mina pulls the door closed behind her* Nov 17 18:45:30 * Molly stretches, smiling “I wasn’t sure if you would come” Nov 17 18:45:54 * MorganK shrugs Nov 17 18:46:07 It didn't take nearly so long explaining the mirror to DeeDee as it has to anyone else Nov 17 18:46:32 I suppose he rather had a crash course into the oddness of our lives, hmm? Nov 17 18:46:53 * MorganK nods Nov 17 18:47:03 Quite. Damn, I need to send a message to Claudia Nov 17 18:47:14 * Molly smiles slightly Nov 17 18:47:25 I believe she’s in Uinise’s room Nov 17 18:47:54 * MorganK nods, pulling a bell pull Nov 17 18:50:26 * Molly watches him a moment before looking over her letters Nov 17 18:50:38 So many new acquaintances... Nov 17 18:50:49 Oh? Nov 17 18:52:57 Ten are from the Freiarrins who attended the baptism. It seems it is the done thing for noble wives to send a letter thanking the hostess for the invitation and to begin correspondence Nov 17 18:53:16 I see... and the other two? Nov 17 18:54:24 Elsie, and Evie Nov 17 18:54:34 Oh? Nov 17 18:54:56 * MorganK sits down, taking his own letters out and opening one Nov 17 18:58:27 *The first is from Karlsruhe, the first page assuring him that everything is well at Hafenlohr, that HH’s house should be completed on the 10th, and work has started on the garden which needs clarification as to whether the tiny cottage in it needs heating Nov 17 18:59:02 Do we want heating in our garden cottage? Nov 17 18:59:11 * Molly giggles Nov 17 18:59:28 Will you not be seeing to it there? Nov 17 18:59:42 * MorganK nods Nov 17 18:59:51 Answers that then... just a fireplace... Nov 17 19:00:19 why might we need a fireplace? Nov 17 19:01:23 Might be cold Nov 17 19:01:52 * Molly nods Nov 17 19:02:15 We’ll have some nice warm blankets too? Nov 17 19:02:29 * MorganK nods Nov 17 19:02:35 I mean, I could just heat the air I suppose... Nov 17 19:03:33 * Molly nods, smiling Nov 17 19:04:02 That does seem quicker, unless the idea of making love beside the fireplace appeals? Nov 17 19:04:54 No, I think it'll be quicker if we don't bother with a fireplace and chimney Nov 17 19:05:08 * Molly nods Nov 17 19:05:19 We’ll want it ready as soon as possible Nov 17 19:06:16 * MorganK nods Nov 17 19:06:18 Alright then Nov 17 19:07:04 * Molly nods, smiling, and returns to her letters Nov 17 19:07:31 * MorganK opens the second Nov 17 19:08:09 * MorganK looks at the second page Nov 17 19:10:49 *It says that it will add a few days to the build, but without it they estimate it can be done by the 14th. He also says he has seen Lansdau who will write to Morgan, and received the many invoices from Freiburg, which have been resolved. At the bottom is a quote that looks to be from Karlsruhe ‘s book “ When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves” Nov 17 19:12:41 * MorganK smiles, sighing Nov 17 19:13:25 * Molly glances at h8m Nov 17 19:13:31 is something amiss? Nov 17 19:14:07 The invoices from Freiburg have arrived... Nov 17 19:15:30 * Molly nods slowly Nov 17 19:15:35 Oh? Have they? Nov 17 19:15:56 * MorganK nods, opening the second letter Nov 17 19:15:58 Indeed Nov 17 19:17:36 *she makes a non-committal* mmm Nov 17 19:18:19 * MorganK smiles a little, looking at the second letter Nov 17 19:20:53 *It’s from Lansdau, and makes his introduction, before explaining that matters had to be investigated that would affect the konigsreich as well as Morgan’s future Grafdom. This is where the first page ends Nov 17 19:21:29 * MorganK turns the page Nov 17 19:23:55 *He goes on the explain that poachers have been crossing the border from Wische, and taking animals from Gottkirchen, including the furthest reaches of Hafenlohr and selling them to establishments owned by the Graf of Baden Nov 17 19:24:20 hmmm... Nov 17 19:24:39 * Molly looks up enquiringly Nov 17 19:25:20 Poachers have been crossing the border, taking animals from Gottkirchen, even Haefenlohr, and selling them in places owned by Graf Baden Nov 17 19:25:39 * Molly frowns Nov 17 19:25:44 Well that must stop. Nov 17 19:26:12 Indeed Nov 17 19:27:32 Does the Graf know of this? Nov 17 19:27:59 Doesn't say... Nov 17 19:28:04 * MorganK reads through it again Nov 17 19:28:45 *It doesn’t say, just that action will be taken, unless word is sent to the contrary* Nov 17 19:29:43 Action will be taken unless word is received saying otherwise Nov 17 19:31:03 Oh... hmm... what action, and by whom, I wonder Nov 17 19:31:24 * MorganK sighs Nov 17 19:31:33 I suppose I'd best put some effort into finding out Nov 17 19:32:15 * Molly frowns a little Nov 17 19:32:44 You are going to leave... Nov 17 19:34:08 I was going to write actually... Nov 17 19:34:20 * Molly smiles Nov 17 19:34:24 Oh good! Nov 17 19:34:48 All being well my reply should be in his hand tomorrow evening Nov 17 19:36:17 You’ll send someone overnight through Bahnhof? Nov 17 19:37:03 I was thinking first thing tomorrow morning Nov 17 19:37:46 * Molly nods Nov 17 19:37:55 But you’ll not go yourself Nov 17 19:38:13 Not unless I have to Nov 17 19:38:53 * Molly nods Nov 17 19:39:03 Good... I’d miss you Nov 17 19:39:38 * MorganK nods Nov 17 19:39:40 I know love Nov 17 19:40:43 Will you send Heinzharold? Nov 17 19:40:53 I was thinking just a messenger... Nov 17 19:41:45 But if Heinzharold goes, he can take a mirror and then we can know what has happened since, and he can rely your orders Nov 17 19:43:06 I suppose so... Nov 17 19:43:25 Or Claudia? Nov 17 19:44:41 Cant really... her duty lies with Uinise... Nov 17 19:45:44 * Molly nods Nov 17 19:46:17 Edward will not want to leave Florrie, Alice cannot leave Florrie, DeeDee is needed to go to Graben... Nov 17 19:46:53 * MorganK nods Nov 17 19:46:58 Leaves either me or HeinzHarold Nov 17 19:47:10 * Molly nods Nov 17 19:47:38 which means either Inga or I are going to be very frustrated! *she smiles a little* Nov 17 19:48:26 * MorganK nods, sighing Nov 17 19:48:28 I suppose so Nov 17 19:50:34 Of course, you could send a messenger, perhaps it is as simple as someone speaking to Baden and the Poachers Nov 17 19:51:14 Possibly Nov 17 19:52:14 * Molly leaves her letters, coming to rub his shoulder Nov 17 19:52:24 But you feel you should go, don’t you? Nov 17 19:52:42 * MorganK nods a little, sighing Nov 17 19:52:43 I do Nov 17 19:53:02 * Molly kisses his crown Nov 17 19:53:08 what about the babies? Nov 17 19:53:20 That's the problem Nov 17 19:53:49 * Molly nods. She smells very nice this close Nov 17 19:54:05 I am confident that I can handle almost anything Nov 17 19:54:29 I know you can but... Nov 17 19:54:42 but you wish to see them immediately? Nov 17 19:55:08 I do. Nov 17 19:55:32 I cannot take any steps to hold them off once they start coming Nov 17 19:56:07 No, and I would not ask you to Nov 17 19:56:38 * Molly nods, gently sitting on his lap Nov 17 19:56:56 But we do not know how long you might get tied up there Nov 17 19:57:08 No, we don't Nov 17 19:57:35 * Molly tucks herself beneath his chin Nov 17 19:58:14 The only choice if you wish to make a most informed decision is you or Heinzharold Nov 17 19:58:58 Aye, I know. I don' have to like it though Nov 17 19:59:26 * Molly nods Nov 17 19:59:32 As with much in life Nov 17 19:59:39 * MorganK nods Nov 17 19:59:40 Sadly so Nov 17 20:00:12 I wish you weren’t going to go Nov 17 20:01:20 Have we decided that I am? Nov 17 20:02:49 I know you, my love. I know how strong duty is in you, and that when Gottkirchen is involved, it is important to you to get off on the best footing Nov 17 20:03:04 * MorganK sighs Nov 17 20:03:07 My parents won't be happy Nov 17 20:03:34 No, but would you like to tell Ma that her roof is not getting any more fixed? Nov 17 20:03:46 *she smiles against his neck* Nov 17 20:04:12 * MorganK sigh Nov 17 20:04:13 No Nov 17 20:04:59 I will stand by you regardless. Perhaps you could discuss it with Heinzharold? Nov 17 20:05:29 * MorganK nods Nov 17 20:05:34 I suppose I probably should Nov 17 20:06:18 * Molly gently kisses his neck before pulling away Nov 17 20:06:50 Will you find him now, or will you wait until Quiet Hour is finished? Nov 17 20:07:16 I'll wait... he might not appreciate my interrupting Nov 17 20:07:25 * Molly nods Nov 17 20:07:55 It takes twelve hours each way, doesn’t it? Nov 17 20:08:09 About that, yes Nov 17 20:09:03 * Molly sighs Nov 17 20:09:54 I suppose if you left this evening and slept a few hours in an inn or on the road, you could be there by mid morning tomorrow Nov 17 20:10:43 Leave on Mina's birthday? Nov 17 20:11:42 Oh... maybe in the morning then? Nov 17 20:12:41 * MorganK sighs Nov 17 20:12:49 I'll talk with my father and Edward about it Nov 17 20:13:23 * Molly nods, shifting to look at him Nov 17 20:13:38 Maybe it wouldn’t take long Nov 17 20:14:09 No? Nov 17 20:15:10 Maybe you’d see Lansdau, have a nice swim, take a nap, and then come right on back to me before the babies even realise you’ve gone Nov 17 20:15:56 Wouldn't that be nice Nov 17 20:16:50 * Molly smiles Nov 17 20:17:23 A swim would be a lovely consolation prize for not being able to have me whenever you wish to? Nov 17 20:18:21 well... it'd be better than nothing Nov 17 20:19:09 * Molly smiles playfully, gently kissing him before saying “All cold and wet...” Nov 17 20:19:19 * MorganK smiles a little Nov 17 20:19:22 Sounds nice Nov 17 20:20:02 * Molly nods “All I can offer you here is hot and wet...” Nov 17 20:20:39 * MorganK smiles Nov 17 20:20:43 I don't want to go Nov 17 20:20:52 * Molly giggles Nov 17 20:20:57 No? Nov 17 20:22:29 No. I don't want to be parted from you, I don't want to miss the twins arriving... Nov 17 20:23:06 * Molly nods Nov 17 20:24:06 I don’t want to be parted from you either Nov 17 20:24:21 But you think it necessary Nov 17 20:24:41 I don’t know. Perhaps we are being paranoid Nov 17 20:25:30 maybe... Nov 17 20:25:50 * Molly nods, thinking Nov 17 20:26:48 we could ask Uncle Christopher, but it would be slower as he wouldn’t want to ride through Bahnhof Nov 17 20:27:34 No, I don't think that's feasible Nov 17 20:27:51 * Molly nods Nov 17 20:28:00 Could your Father go? Nov 17 20:28:21 I won't reduce his time with Edward and Mina... or Florrie. Nov 17 20:29:53 * Molly nods Nov 17 20:30:27 Then I am afraid I am out of ideas. We can trust that a letter will suffice, you can go, or Heinzharold can go Nov 17 20:30:36 * MorganK nods Nov 17 20:30:45 Some thought to put into it I think Nov 17 20:30:52 * Molly nods Nov 17 20:31:02 Am I being a distraction in your lap? Nov 17 20:31:08 A little bit Nov 17 20:31:31 Should I get up? *she smirks* Or will you? Nov 17 20:32:14 * MorganK smiles, kissing her crown Nov 17 20:32:27 I think you'd best... I think I need to speak with Edward again Nov 17 20:32:42 * Molly nods, standing up Nov 17 20:32:47 Alright, my love Nov 17 20:33:31 * MorganK sighs, getting up and straightening himself Nov 17 20:33:44 I'll be back before long hopefully Nov 17 20:33:49 * Molly nods Nov 17 20:33:55 I’ll keep myself busy Nov 17 20:34:05 Alright love. I'll see you soon Nov 17 20:34:28 * Molly nods, kissing his cheek Nov 17 20:36:11 * MorganK does likewise before quietly letting himself out, going looking for Edward and a servant Nov 17 20:36:47 *He finds a servant very close to his parlour, carrying coffee on a tray* Nov 17 20:37:12 For my brother? Nov 17 20:37:45 *The servant says* Yes, your Excellency Nov 17 20:38:58 I'll take it, I need to speak to him. Have word taken to Claudia that Lieutenant Dieppe wishes to see her before he leaves please Nov 17 20:39:20 *the servant hands it over and bows before going* Nov 17 20:39:32 * MorganK moves toward the door, knocking with his foot Nov 17 20:40:16 * Molly is now known as Edward Nov 17 20:40:22 * Edward calls to come in Nov 17 20:41:39 * MorganK pushes the door open Nov 17 20:41:43 Am I interrupting? Nov 17 20:42:31 * Edward shakes his head Nov 17 20:42:40 I’ve only just arrived myself Nov 17 20:43:01 *Mina is dealing with her own letters Nov 17 20:43:27 I wanted to talk with you before I speak with father... Nov 17 20:43:46 * Edward offers him a seat Nov 17 20:45:01 * MorganK sits down Nov 17 20:45:12 I think... I'm going to have to leave for a while Nov 17 20:45:30 * Edward sits too. Mina pours the coffee Nov 17 20:45:32 why? Nov 17 20:46:00 * MorganK hands over the letter from Lansdau Nov 17 20:46:18 * Edward reads it slowly Nov 17 20:47:22 What do you know about Lansdau? (overseer chosen by Faulk to ensure everything was being done above board in Gottkirchen to prepare for the transition) Nov 17 20:49:22 Karlsruhe thinks he's a good man, if a little difficult to pin down... he's in place to make sure Maubourg doesn't do anything to make things difficult for the handover Nov 17 20:49:44 * Edward nods thoughtfully Nov 17 20:50:13 I cannot tell if he is making a mountain out of a molehill Nov 17 20:50:58 no... but I'm not sure waiting several days to find out is advisable Nov 17 20:52:09 You may go to Hafenlohr then? Nov 17 20:52:37 I'd like to get a report out of Lansdau Nov 17 20:52:48 * Edward nods Nov 17 20:53:03 I can understand that Nov 17 20:53:23 *Mina puts the coffee in front of Morgan* Will you take Molly? Nov 17 20:53:38 No... no, she'll be needed here in case the twins come Nov 17 20:54:50 * Edward nods “My concern would be that it could escalate between Maubourg and Baden, should the former find out” Nov 17 20:56:12 Indeed. I'd rather not be taking over a conflict Nov 17 20:57:15 Especially one across the lines of a Konigsreich boundary Nov 17 20:57:47 * MorganK nods Nov 17 20:57:50 You think I should go Nov 17 21:00:13 What troubles me is that I know nothing about Lansdau and whether he is politically savvy. We do not know if this is downplayed or inflated. It could be as simple as some greedy poachers making a quick Mark, with Baden unawares. Or it could be a systematic exploitation of Gottkirchen, and therefore Fischler. Nov 17 21:01:13 Mina: *she sips her coffee* also, Baden is a notably Objectionist Grafdom in an Objectionist Konigsreich, where as Gottkirchen is the opposite. Nov 17 21:01:37 * Edward smiles at her, then at Morgan “The Lady’s point is well-made” Nov 17 21:01:58 * MorganK nods, sighing Nov 17 21:02:00 Alright Nov 17 21:03:00 I would either go myself, or send a trusted intemidiary Nov 17 21:04:07 * MorganK nods Nov 17 21:04:24 But that'd mean telling Ma that the chores she's set HeinzHarold won't get done... Nov 17 21:05:01 Are you too busy or incompetent to do them in his place? Nov 17 21:05:28 I think... its more that she wants -him- there to do them... Nov 17 21:05:36 * Edward nods Nov 17 21:06:28 It is your decision, brother. I would offer to go in your stead, but there are some duties here that you simply cannot stand in for Nov 17 21:07:16 I would not allow you to go... Nov 17 21:07:37 * Edward nods Nov 17 21:07:53 M: What does Molly say, Morgan? Nov 17 21:08:19 That one of us will have to go and its most likely me Nov 17 21:09:07 M: She must be very sad about that Nov 17 21:09:43 Some, aye Nov 17 21:10:30 Our Duty to our lands is important... *he looks solemn* Nov 17 21:10:54 * MorganK nods Nov 17 21:10:55 It is Nov 17 21:11:21 * Edward nods Nov 17 21:11:36 What assistance can I give? Nov 17 21:12:27 None really, I just wanted your input Nov 17 21:13:24 I would be hard-pressed to decide whether to send Heinzharold or go myself Nov 17 21:13:38 * MorganK nods Nov 17 21:13:45 I think we all know it'll be me Nov 17 21:14:35 * Edward nods Nov 17 21:14:45 when would you be leaving? Nov 17 21:14:53 * MorganK sighs Nov 17 21:15:01 There is an argument for leaving this afternoon Nov 17 21:15:34 *Mina nods* You must not let me stop you doing your duty to the people Nov 17 21:16:27 I rather suspected you might say that... Nov 17 21:17:12 *Mina smiles* A noblewoman has her own duties to the people of Eisen Nov 17 21:18:08 * MorganK nods Nov 17 21:18:33 I was thinking... perhaps now might be a good moment to give you your gift... rather than in public... Nov 17 21:18:57 *Mina smiles* Thank you, that is very kind Nov 17 21:20:20 * MorganK takes out a wrapped package from his inside pocket, holding it out to her. Its about 8inches by 6 inches, rectangular, half an inch thick and rigid Nov 17 21:20:44 *She takes it carefully, gently opening it* Nov 17 21:22:42 *Its a framed, glass covered drawing of Mina and her father on her wedding day, facing each other holding hands. Its obvious an awful lot of time has gone into it* Nov 17 21:23:59 *Mina nods, looking at it. Her courtly composure is lost, her expressions revealing her joy and her sorrow. She looks to Morgan* Thank you, Morgan. I will treasure it Nov 17 21:24:16 * MorganK nods a little Nov 17 21:24:45 * Edward comes around behind her to look, hand on her shoulder Nov 17 21:24:54 That is excellent work, brother Nov 17 21:25:19 Its... -important-. Nov 17 21:25:57 *They both nod. Edward hands Mina a handkerchief, and she wipes her eyes, but she’s smiling too* Nov 17 21:27:13 * MorganK stands up Nov 17 21:27:25 I'll give you some privacy. I'd like to see you both before I leave Nov 17 21:27:46 *Mina stands, and embraces him* Nov 17 21:27:58 * Edward smiles, watching them Nov 17 21:28:11 * MorganK envelopes her in a gentle hug before kissing her cheek Nov 17 21:30:03 We will come to the Veisgraf Wing in half an hour, if that is enough time for you Nov 17 21:30:53 * MorganK nods Nov 17 21:31:10 I'll be around... I might leave speaking to father until -after- quiet hour though Nov 17 21:31:33 *Mina and Edward laugh at this* Nov 17 21:31:59 Yes, I would suggest making the best of your time, brother Nov 17 21:32:36 * MorganK nods, letting Mina go and moving for the door Nov 17 21:32:38 I'll see you soon Nov 17 21:32:52 *they let him go* Nov 17 21:33:49 * MorganK heads back to his rooms Nov 17 21:34:05 * Edward is now known as Molly Nov 17 21:34:26 * Molly is in their room, packing his bag Nov 17 21:34:50 * MorganK sighs as he closes the door Nov 17 21:35:14 * Molly glances at him Nov 17 21:35:38 Are Edward and Mina well?
