Dec 13 20:49:04 * Molly nods Dec 13 20:49:04 I’ll never... try to take... Dietlinde’s place... I promise. Dec 13 20:49:04 * Morgan nods Dec 13 20:49:07 I know Dec 13 20:49:09 * Molly nods Dec 13 20:49:11 I want... to travel... as soon... as we can Dec 13 20:49:13 * Morgan nods Dec 13 20:49:15 As soon as we can Dec 13 20:49:17 * Molly nods “On a ship?” Dec 13 20:49:19 We'll see Dec 13 20:49:21 I have never sailed Dec 13 20:49:23 * Morgan nods Dec 13 20:49:25 I have, quite a bit Dec 13 20:49:27 * Molly smiles, yawning with a wince Dec 13 20:49:29 “I’d like to go... with you” Dec 13 20:49:31 * Morgan nods Dec 13 20:49:33 Rest, blossom, we can talk about it later Dec 13 20:49:35 * Molly nods, kissing his knuckles once more before she settles back, closing her eyes. This gives him a chance to look at her without being seen Dec 13 20:53:16 * Morgan stands still, watching her for a few moments Dec 13 20:56:31 *She looks to fall asleep quickly. It’s a sight that as his mistress he might get to see very often* Dec 13 20:58:11 * Morgan draws a deep breath, quietly leaving the room Dec 13 20:58:44 *a maid is waiting outside* Dec 13 20:59:00 * Morgan looks at her Dec 13 20:59:03 Yes? Dec 13 20:59:38 M: I can wait here incase she needs owt, sir? Dec 13 20:59:46 * Morgan nods Dec 13 20:59:48 please Dec 13 21:00:38 * Molly nods, bobbing Dec 13 21:01:22 * Morgan goes to find Lady Torrington Dec 13 21:01:56 *Catherine is found in the library* Dec 13 21:02:15 * Morgan watches her for a moment before speaking Dec 13 21:02:18 She's sleeping Dec 13 21:04:36 * Molly is now known as Catherine Dec 13 21:04:39 * Catherine nods Dec 13 21:05:10 Does she know what will happen? Dec 13 21:05:24 * Morgan nods Dec 13 21:05:28 To a point Dec 13 21:06:22 And then what? Dec 13 21:06:38 I don't understand the question Dec 13 21:06:58 You’ve kept a very important truth from me. Dec 13 21:07:26 You wish me to leave Dec 13 21:07:57 That’s what you’d advise me to do with any other employee who had lied Dec 13 21:08:31 Did I lie? Dec 13 21:10:39 You lied by omission. You misrepresented yourself. You might not have said the words themselves, but you know the truth. You purposefully concealed it from me Dec 13 21:10:54 * Morgan nods slowly Dec 13 21:10:58 You're right. Good. Dec 13 21:11:34 good?! Dec 13 21:12:07 * Morgan watches her calmly Dec 13 21:12:47 You're asking the right questions, seeing things how they are. While I understand you are disappointed, -I- am proud of you Dec 13 21:15:29 * Catherine nods Dec 13 21:16:04 Has your identity put me in danger? Dec 13 21:16:23 Would I allow that? Dec 13 21:19:41 I also didn’t think you’d be hiding anything from me... Dec 13 21:20:09 * Morgan nods Dec 13 21:20:21 Fair enough. No, it does not Dec 13 21:21:34 * Catherine nods Dec 13 21:21:49 What would you do about this situation if you were me? Dec 13 21:22:48 What I would do is irrelevant. Dec 13 21:24:12 Why is it? Dec 13 21:25:21 Because we are very different people, from nose to toes Dec 13 21:26:37 You were leaving anyway Dec 13 21:26:48 * Morgan nods Dec 13 21:27:21 Yes, I was, and if not for the actions of Jaeger, no-one would've been any the wiser... until, perhaps, you turned up in Catterick... Dec 13 21:28:22 * Catherine nods Dec 13 21:28:34 I think you should still go Dec 13 21:29:11 Why? Dec 13 21:30:25 Molly’s reputation here will be damaged by this Dec 13 21:31:02 Doesn't really explain why -I- should still go Dec 13 21:33:02 * Catherine smiles “Because she is a housekeeper in a noble house, and you are beside yourself about her being hurt.” Dec 13 21:34:40 * Morgan looks at the floor Dec 13 21:34:54 I'm not always honest, but what I say is the truth Dec 13 21:35:30 It’s still deception. Dec 13 21:36:51 Part of your job as a land owner is to make sure you get the information you need, not the information others want you to have Dec 13 21:37:29 * Catherine nods Dec 13 21:37:34 I won’t forget that Dec 13 21:38:20 * Morgan raises his eyes to meet hers Dec 13 21:38:47 I lost my wife... I ran from my home and I just wanted to exist quietly, doing what I failed to do for them... keeping someone safe. Dec 13 21:39:58 * Catherine nods solemnly “You have done that” Dec 13 21:40:35 I imagine you are feeling betrayed... despite how I may seem, I -am- sorry for that Dec 13 21:41:04 I am, yes. But you’ve got bigger concerns now Dec 13 21:41:30 * Morgan nods, looking saddened Dec 13 21:42:46 I can find a new master-at-arms. You have someone else to protect now Dec 13 21:44:12 You'll want an estates manager as well... I've been carrying the duties of both roles Dec 13 21:45:09 * Catherine nods. There’s the sound of yelling from the driveway Dec 13 21:45:38 * Morgan watches her for a moment Dec 13 21:46:33 It may be worth considering telling people you always knew who I am, that we were up to something... saves you losing face. If you'll excuse me, I think Mr Jaeger has returned Dec 13 21:47:06 * Catherine moves towards the window, then laughs Dec 13 21:47:18 He has, after a fashion Dec 13 21:47:47 If you'll excuse me, my lady... Dec 13 21:47:56 yes, of course Dec 13 21:48:14 * Morgan moves to the door Dec 13 21:48:25 I meant what I said... advice or aid, you need just ask Dec 13 21:48:40 Thank you Dec 13 21:48:54 * Morgan nods, leaving the room and heading toward the driveway Dec 13 21:51:17 *He gets to the courtyard just as Evie rounds the corner, mace in hand and Jaeger slung over her shoulder, berating him loudly about what a fecking disgusting little worm he is Dec 13 21:51:45 * Morgan looks her over, looking vaguely impressed Dec 13 21:53:04 *Evie sees him, and makes a beeline for him* Where do you want this fecker? Dec 13 21:53:39 I don't want him bleeding all over the carpets, so outside Dec 13 21:53:44 *jaeger sounds muffled when he tries to complain* Dec 13 21:53:52 * Catherine is now known as Evie Dec 13 21:54:29 * Evie sets him none too gently on the ground. He appears to have had his mouth stuffed with a woman’s sock Dec 13 21:55:24 * Morgan leans down, pulling out the sock Dec 13 21:56:46 J: Get that harridan away from me! Dec 13 21:57:29 * Evie swings her mace around a few times like she’s trying to get blood back into her shoulder Dec 13 21:57:37 * Morgan watches him Dec 13 21:57:50 Lady Torrington has offered to have you charged with attempted murder... Dec 13 21:59:28 *what gives Jaeger away is how he pales at the word attempted* I have done nothing! Dec 13 21:59:49 * Morgan crouches down Dec 13 22:00:17 Ah, thought you'd finished the job and gotten away with it... that before or after your got your kicks over her? Dec 13 22:01:06 * Evie is now known as Jaeger Dec 13 22:01:20 * Jaeger looks haughty Dec 13 22:01:32 I don’t know what you are talking about. Dec 13 22:02:20 Cowardly to the last... very well. She figures there's no point charging you since your family will just put up a fuss about it and you'll. End up walking away from it all Dec 13 22:04:54 * Jaeger nods very very slightly, like this was exactly his plan “Then why have you had this guttersnipe run me down like a fox?” Dec 13 22:05:23 Oh, no, I had her bring you back to face justice and since that'll only happen if someone calls you out... Dec 13 22:07:11 There is no one here to do so Dec 13 22:07:20 No? Why's that? Dec 13 22:07:29 It has to be a noble Dec 13 22:07:41 * Morgan nods, getting close enough to whisper Dec 13 22:07:47 Veisgraf Sudlachenburg at your service... Dec 13 22:08:04 *in the background, Evie says* Oooh feck! Dec 13 22:08:25 * Jaeger suddenly looks white as a sheet Dec 13 22:09:20 * Morgan stands up, pulling a glove from a pocket and dropping it in front of Jaeger Dec 13 22:09:27 Untie him please Eiblinn Dec 13 22:09:50 *Evie does so, roughly* Dec 13 22:10:07 You have the hands of a man! Dec 13 22:10:21 You have the spine of a jellyfish, whats your point? Dec 13 22:11:17 E: If the hands of a man do what yours have done to Molly, I definitely don’t. You’re a creep and a monster. Dec 13 22:11:53 * Jaeger looks angry, getting to his feet Dec 13 22:12:31 Fetch me a sword, you inbred wench Dec 13 22:13:04 *Evie looks to Morgan* Does it really -have to- be a noble? Dec 13 22:13:16 * Morgan nods Dec 13 22:13:36 It does... its in some rulebook somewhere to stop wastrels like him being shown up by farmers Dec 13 22:13:48 *Evie sighs* I’ll get him a fecking sword Dec 13 22:14:18 * Morgan nods, just staring at him impassively Dec 13 22:14:33 *she goes* Dec 13 22:15:10 Perhaps I will end your broken life for you. Dec 13 22:15:58 Oh, good, you wish to fight to the death Dec 13 22:16:23 I’d expect nothing less from a man of your character Dec 13 22:16:34 * Morgan raises his hands Dec 13 22:16:57 Wasn't me tried, and failed, to kill a girl then stroked myself stupid over her before running away and getting dragged back by another girl... Dec 13 22:18:33 * Jaeger is an idiot, and swings for him Dec 13 22:18:50 * Morgan sways back a little Dec 13 22:19:00 I thought you wanted a sword, little lordling... Dec 13 22:20:09 * Jaeger only gets crosser, throwing himself at Morgan Dec 13 22:20:50 * Morgan takes the opportunity to throw a punch as hard as he can, aiming just left of his nose at the lower part of his eye socket Dec 13 22:22:37 * Jaeger screams, collapsing to the ground in agony and futile fury Dec 13 22:22:58 * Morgan nudges him with his foot Dec 13 22:23:02 Come on, I don't have all day Dec 13 22:23:33 *he tries to get back up, but it’s very slow. Evie arrives with the sword* Dec 13 22:24:25 * Morgan glances at Evie Dec 13 22:24:30 He got excited I think... Dec 13 22:25:10 *Evie nods, shoving the sword in Jaegers hand* Dec 13 22:25:44 *staff are starting to congregate* You’re the bastard she is leaving me for?! Dec 13 22:27:00 My parents were married, and I'll thank you not to cast aspersions about them Dec 13 22:28:09 * Jaeger wipes off the blood with his sleeve “I don’t blame you, she’s got nice breasts. You’ll always know my hands were on them first” Dec 13 22:28:53 * Morgan smiles, drawing his sword and holding it at his side Dec 13 22:29:34 * Jaeger tries to plunge the sword into Morgan’s stomach Dec 13 22:30:17 * Morgan steps sideways, flicking his sword round so the blade slams into Jaegers wrist, severing it Dec 13 22:30:23 -that- hand? Dec 13 22:32:14 * Jaeger screams loud enough that it startles two crows from the roof. The staff cheer for Morgan. It’s quite disgusting, blood spurting from the severed artery Dec 13 22:32:50 * Morgan stands still, watching him Dec 13 22:34:20 * Jaeger picks up the sword with his other hand, staggering slightly Dec 13 22:34:56 * Morgan shrugs Dec 13 22:34:58 Alright then Dec 13 22:35:42 * Jaeger tries to slice across Morgan’s body Dec 13 22:51:43 * Jaeger has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 13 23:36:59 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
