Dec 12 19:49:22 He ran away. Dec 12 19:49:24 * Molly smiles, looking relieved Dec 12 19:49:26 He'll pay for this Dec 12 19:49:28 * Molly nods solemnly Dec 12 19:49:30 * Molly puts her hand on his Dec 12 19:49:32 thanks. Dec 12 19:49:34 * Morgan gently strokes her hand Dec 12 19:49:38 *Catherine returns with water and two maids* Dec 12 19:49:40 C: We’ll help her get dressed Dec 12 19:49:42 * Morgan nods Dec 12 19:49:44 Then we need to talk Dec 12 19:49:46 *Catherine nods* You can go Dec 12 19:49:48 * Morgan nods, going to the door Dec 12 19:49:50 I'll be nearby Dec 12 19:49:52 *Molly and Catherine both nod Dec 12 19:49:54 * Morgan goes out Dec 12 19:49:56 *He’s now left all alone, not knowing what other wounds she might have, what pain she’s in, whether this help will be humiliating. There’s no distraction for him from those thoughts, or from the thoughts of what he’ll do to Jaeger when he gets hold of him Dec 12 19:52:01 *he hears Molly cough hard before making a noise of pain* Dec 12 19:52:34 * Morgan scowls, bunching his fists Dec 12 19:53:04 *Catherine comes out two minutes later* Dec 12 19:54:27 * Morgan looks at her solemnly Dec 12 19:54:49 C: you want to talk to me? Dec 12 19:55:13 * Morgan nods, moving into an empty room Dec 12 19:55:25 *the nearest room is his own Dec 12 19:55:36 * Morgan goes in, holding the door open Dec 12 19:55:47 *She goes in* Dec 12 19:56:39 * Morgan closes the door, looking at her Dec 12 19:56:44 What are you going to do about this? Dec 12 19:57:11 * Molly is now known as Catherine Dec 12 19:57:22 It’s an attempted murder, isn’t it? Dec 12 19:57:27 And rape. Dec 12 19:59:48 * Catherine nods “I’m not sure he did that” Dec 12 20:00:15 * Morgan frowns Dec 12 20:00:16 Why? Dec 12 20:01:17 It’s quite a delicate thing to explain Dec 12 20:01:37 * Morgan just watches her Dec 12 20:01:52 * Catherine sighs Dec 12 20:02:39 It appears Molly is in her week of bleeding, and the cloth women use did not seem to have been disturbed at all Dec 12 20:03:02 * Morgan nods slowly Dec 12 20:03:04 alright. Dec 12 20:04:42 I can choose to have him hanged, but his family will likely appeal to Queen Elaine, on account of his nobility Dec 12 20:05:10 Then... he'll need to be called out Dec 12 20:05:26 Yes, that would be preferable Dec 12 20:05:33 Very well Dec 12 20:05:44 By a nobleman. Dec 12 20:06:00 God forbid a commoner hold him accountable Dec 12 20:06:20 You know that is how things are Dec 12 20:08:41 Its not right. Very well, he will be called out Dec 12 20:10:45 Maybe my cousin will attend for us. Or I could ask Bran Priam Dec 12 20:11:08 No... its right that he faces me Dec 12 20:12:50 It has to be a nobleman. Not a nobleman’s very distant relative Dec 12 20:15:07 * Morgan watches her Dec 12 20:15:16 I did not say how distant a relative he is... Dec 12 20:18:15 * Catherine frowns “Yes, you did...?” Dec 12 20:19:02 No, my lady, -you- did. I simply stated he is a relative Dec 12 20:19:22 Morgan... are you a nobleman?! Dec 12 20:21:02 * Morgan draws a deep breath, letting it out slowly Dec 12 20:21:13 I was born to noble parents Dec 12 20:23:02 * Catherine looks shocked, looking around the room “so why do you live like this?!” Dec 12 20:23:54 Its honest work Dec 12 20:24:48 You can’t marry a housekeeper! Dec 12 20:25:05 Again... -you- said marriage... I did not Dec 12 20:25:33 Then what? Dec 12 20:25:42 * Morgan sighs Dec 12 20:26:03 Its complicated. Dec 12 20:27:00 why? Dec 12 20:27:24 Because I didn't even think I'd ever care for anyone again... I'm still finding my way Dec 12 20:28:28 Have you been married already? Dec 12 20:29:11 * Morgan 's expression slides into being impassive Dec 12 20:29:12 I was Dec 12 20:29:25 Did she die? Dec 12 20:29:32 * Morgan nods a little Dec 12 20:32:20 I’m sorry, that’s sad Dec 12 20:32:31 * Morgan nods a little Dec 12 20:33:01 It was my own fault. Nevertheless, Lord Hockridge is my uncle and I believe I have enough title to call Jaeger out Dec 12 20:35:00 who are your parents? Dec 12 20:35:50 * Morgan watches her for a moment Dec 12 20:36:37 My father is Adalbrecht Koertig... my mother was Lady Verity Hockridge... Dec 12 20:37:56 He’s a Lord? Dec 12 20:38:06 * Morgan draws a deep breath Dec 12 20:38:25 -Graf-Adalbrecht Koertig, and -Grafin- Verity Koertig... Dec 12 20:38:35 * Catherine looks shocked Dec 12 20:38:37 Noooo! Dec 12 20:38:47 * Morgan just watches her Dec 12 20:38:56 You outrank me?! Dec 12 20:39:15 * Morgan watches her seriously Dec 12 20:39:27 Have I ever made you feel such? Or that I looked down on you? Dec 12 20:40:53 No, but it’s still a shock Dec 12 20:42:09 I imagine so. If not for his actions, I wouldn't have mentioned it Dec 12 20:42:56 * Catherine nods Dec 12 20:43:15 You can call him out Dec 12 20:43:33 I've sent Eiblinn to bring him back Dec 12 20:47:08 * Catherine nods Dec 12 20:47:26 You’ll want to see Molly before that Dec 12 20:47:42 * Morgan nods Dec 12 20:47:45 Yes, I will Dec 12 20:50:44 * Catherine nods Dec 12 20:51:11 the maids shou”d be done now Dec 12 20:51:59 * Morgan nods Dec 12 20:52:04 Thank you for your assistance my lady Dec 12 20:55:02 * Catherine nods, going to the door “We can talk more later about what this means for working here” Dec 12 20:55:34 It means I am keeping your secret... I would ask you keep mine Dec 12 20:58:22 * Catherine nods Dec 12 20:58:39 I don’t intend to tell anyone Dec 12 20:59:15 * Morgan nods, thanking her Dec 12 21:00:00 * Catherine nods, going out Dec 12 21:01:01 * Morgan takes a couple of deep breaths before going to the door and knocking quietly Dec 12 21:02:40 *A maid lets him in* Dec 12 21:03:04 How is she? Dec 12 21:05:17 *She nods* She’s okay, she’s drank a little, and I’m going to make her some tea and soup Dec 12 21:05:45 * Morgan nods Dec 12 21:05:50 I'll keep her company Dec 12 21:07:51 *tHe maid bobs and goes* Dec 12 21:08:29 * Morgan moves closer to the bed Dec 12 21:08:35 How are you doing blossom/ Dec 12 21:10:08 * Catherine is now known as Molly Dec 12 21:11:10 * Molly has been put in a clean shift and into bed, her hair in one long braid over her shoulder. She looks much better, but the bruising on her neck is darkening Dec 12 21:11:34 *quietly* It’s very sore, but I’m alright Dec 12 21:11:48 * Morgan nods a little Dec 12 21:11:50 I'm sorry Dec 12 21:14:20 * Molly holds out her hand “You did nothing” Dec 12 21:15:51 * Morgan takes her hand gently Dec 12 21:15:58 If not for me you would not have been hurt Dec 12 21:16:52 * Molly gently kisses his knuckles Dec 12 21:18:30 If not... for you... I’d have been... married before... I saw him. Dec 12 21:19:26 * Morgan sighs, just holding her hand Dec 12 21:21:12 if... your feelings... have changed... Dec 12 21:21:40 Not an ounce Dec 12 21:23:56 * Molly smiles Dec 12 21:23:58 good Dec 12 21:26:36 * Molly turns his hand, resting her cheek in his palm “nor have mine” Dec 12 21:26:54 * Morgan nods Dec 12 21:26:55 I'm glad Dec 12 21:29:05 * Molly nods “What now?” Dec 12 21:29:25 Eiblinn's gone to find him, then I'll deal with him. You just need to rest Dec 12 21:30:51 What will... you do? Dec 12 21:31:06 He is going to face justice Dec 12 21:33:40 * Molly nods solemnly Dec 12 21:34:38 was angry Dec 12 21:35:33 And soon he will be very -very- scared Dec 12 21:39:44 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 12 21:41:52 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Dec 12 21:42:04 And soon he will be very -very- scared Dec 12 21:42:20 * Molly watches him Dec 12 21:42:36 do you want...to scare... him?
