**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jan 10 20:37:23 2025 Jan 10 20:37:23 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Jan 10 20:44:57 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Jan 10 20:46:30 Youthful exuberance combined with youthful lack of sense... Jan 10 20:46:30 They’ll have to be wed Jan 10 20:46:30 *His neck prickles again* Jan 10 20:46:30 Will they? Jan 10 20:46:30 [how's it going?] Jan 10 20:46:32 *The woman nods* Everyone will know Jan 10 20:46:34 People are guessing, but thats about it Jan 10 20:46:36 [I should be able to get her off in just a few seconds] Jan 10 20:46:38 They have been sweet on each other a while Jan 10 20:46:40 Woman: I didn’t think they’d do this though Jan 10 20:46:42 Could have been worse Jan 10 20:46:44 Might still be, if she catches Jan 10 20:46:46 There's no point borrowing trouble right now Jan 10 20:46:50 *the woman sighs* Do you think she can help? Jan 10 20:46:52 * Morgan nods Jan 10 20:46:54 She wasn't exaggerating her studying alongside female doctors... the culture in capperlucia, they are much better versed in the female anatomy Jan 10 20:46:56 *the man looks very embarrassed by this* Jan 10 20:47:00 *The door opens, and Molly comes in, smiling “There we are, all done” Jan 10 20:47:02 *the woman and man both look shocked* Jan 10 20:47:02 That was quick! Jan 10 20:47:06 * Morgan smiles a little Jan 10 20:47:06 Told you... Jan 10 20:47:10 *They both thank Molly profusely, but she insists it was straightforward and just requires some breathing exercises and relaxation of muscles* Jan 10 20:47:11 Shall we return blossom? Jan 10 20:48:04 * Molly nods, smiling “Yes, liebes herz” Jan 10 20:48:32 * Morgan inclines his head to the man and woman before opening the door for Molly Jan 10 20:49:00 * Molly goes out into the sunshine Jan 10 20:50:32 * Morgan follows her out Jan 10 20:52:30 * Molly looks around. Heinzharold’s house is south of the Müllers, and then past that is woods until the shoreline. Morgan knows this land very well, as well as the shore route between Heinzharold’s house and the clearing where the Forresters now live Jan 10 20:53:48 We should probably tell the Graf its all dealt with... Jan 10 20:54:24 * Molly nods Jan 10 20:54:45 We should see if he’s at Church still, I suppose Jan 10 20:55:32 * Morgan nods Jan 10 20:55:38 Need to collect the boys before we go for lunch... Jan 10 20:56:01 Mama and Papa were going to take them there Jan 10 20:56:15 Oh... alright... Jan 10 20:56:28 * Molly nods slightly Jan 10 20:56:44 Right... back to the church then? Jan 10 20:57:55 You clearly object to that... Jan 10 20:58:01 * Molly smiles Jan 10 20:58:20 It doesn’t matter, my love. As you say, the Graf should know Jan 10 20:58:39 He'd be quite cross if we just wandered off and left him unknowing... Jan 10 20:58:49 * Molly nods Jan 10 20:59:01 Yes... it isn’t really the done thing Jan 10 20:59:07 No, it isn't Jan 10 20:59:16 * Molly smiles Jan 10 20:59:36 And it wouldn’t be like us to break social conventions... Jan 10 21:00:48 If he weren't already talking about how it shames us all if it gets out, I'd agree... Jan 10 21:01:08 * Molly offers him her hand Jan 10 21:02:10 back to church... unfortunately? Jan 10 21:04:59 * Morgan nods Jan 10 21:05:00 Indeed Jan 10 21:06:10 * Molly waits for him to take her hand before heading that way. it’s very quiet around here Jan 10 21:06:18 where would you rather be? Jan 10 21:07:30 Somewhere quiet with you Jan 10 21:08:27 * Molly smiles, blushing Jan 10 21:08:29 mmhmm Jan 10 21:11:03 * Morgan nods, looking round as he walks Jan 10 21:11:42 * Molly smiles, doing likewise before saying nonchalantly “Mine would be ‘on my knees’” Jan 10 21:11:50 Oh? Jan 10 21:11:57 * Molly smiles Jan 10 21:12:10 I think I shall leave the rest to your imagination... Jan 10 21:12:29 As you wish love Jan 10 21:13:52 That is rather the point you tell me what you’re imaging, mon petit chou! Jan 10 21:16:39 I wouldn't wish to put words in your mouth Jan 10 21:17:06 * Molly looks very amused Jan 10 21:17:12 Not -words-, no... Jan 10 21:17:25 * Morgan chuckles Jan 10 21:17:27 quite Jan 10 21:18:26 * Molly nods. She seems quite content holding his hand as they make their way back to the churchyard. People are stood around chatting, though fewer than before Jan 10 21:18:44 * Morgan looks around for his father Jan 10 21:19:14 *Adalbrecht is with Verity, Edward, and Mina Jan 10 21:20:37 how do you wish to handle it? Jan 10 21:20:45 quietly Jan 10 21:20:57 * Molly nods Jan 10 21:21:06 I’ll follow your lead Jan 10 21:22:05 * Morgan nods, heading toward them Jan 10 21:22:52 *Edward gives the faintest of smirks* Jan 10 21:23:12 E: There you are, we wondered where you’d gotten off to Jan 10 21:23:36 We were running an errand for the Graf Jan 10 21:25:08 *the others nod. Adalbrecht looks at Morgan* were you successful? Jan 10 21:25:37 Yes my lord Jan 10 21:25:53 *Adalbrecht nods* Thank you Jan 10 21:26:09 * Morgan inclines his head Jan 10 21:26:58 E: Brother, are you joining us for lunch? Jan 10 21:27:27 No, we've been invited to the Forersters Jan 10 21:27:55 *Edward nods* Should we expect you to come for Quiet Hour? Jan 10 21:29:09 * Morgan shrugs Jan 10 21:29:13 We'll have to wait and see Jan 10 21:29:54 [there’s a good chance we’ll end up trapped at my Parents’ house] Jan 10 21:30:12 Verity: We’ll see you later, dear boy Jan 10 21:30:16 [Aye that wouldn't surprise me] Jan 10 21:30:19 Yes mother Jan 10 21:30:37 [-that- will be a big problem] Jan 10 21:31:48 *his family get organised for their travel home. Martha and David seem to have gone already. HH is with Ma, Inga, Claudia, Uinise, and Ruth* Jan 10 21:32:26 Are you ready blossom? Jan 10 21:32:54 * Molly nods, smiling Jan 10 21:33:01 I am, yes. Jan 10 21:33:24 * Morgan nods, taking her hand Jan 10 21:33:26 Come on then Jan 10 21:33:32 *other people acknowledge them as they start to leave* Jan 10 21:33:43 * Molly whispers “Oh I’d love to!” Jan 10 21:34:23 * Morgan chuckles ,nodding to the people Jan 10 21:35:25 *HhH gestures * $are you good?$ Jan 10 21:35:52 $Yeah. Going for lunch$ Jan 10 21:36:12 HH: $see you tonight$ Jan 10 21:36:27 $Alright man$ Jan 10 21:37:45 *Soon they’re out of the churchyard. They can go south through the houses and along the shore, or follow the road west which will lead to the clearing turn off Jan 10 21:38:45 * Morgan heads for the shoreline Jan 10 21:39:23 * Molly walks beside him. The few people going this way soon peel off. She looks thoughtful Jan 10 21:40:42 Whats on your mind? Jan 10 21:42:12 I was thinking about that young couple Jan 10 21:42:49 Oh? Jan 10 21:44:24 If I could, I’d advise them to do other things and in more sensible locations, but that would become gossip in a minute Jan 10 21:45:28 * Morgan nods Jan 10 21:45:29 Yes it would Jan 10 21:45:56 It was quite easily fixed though Jan 10 21:47:20 * Morgan nods Jan 10 21:47:21 Good Jan 10 21:49:12 From what they said, they couldn’t go anywhere else, and it was the first time. She got scared by a noise, and everything tensed up, like when your leg goes into spasm Jan 10 21:49:53 unfortunate Jan 10 21:50:58 * Molly nods Jan 10 21:51:21 So he was trapped. From what I could tell, there -should- be no conception Jan 10 21:52:11 We'll have to wait and see... they were talking about having to marry them... Jan 10 21:53:23 * Molly nods Jan 10 21:53:59 I wasn’t sure whether to contrive some ruse, but I don’t think the parents would believe it Jan 10 21:54:13 To what end? Jan 10 21:54:29 *They’re near the trees now that separate the southernmost houses from the shore Jan 10 21:55:33 To reduce the gossip. Two young people who were concerned about being stuck together in a marital and spiritual sense, rather than a physical one. That it was a miscommunication Jan 10 21:55:56 Bit of a reach Jan 10 21:57:30 * Molly nods Jan 10 21:57:33 Indeed Jan 10 21:58:24 *it’s quiet on the shore, no one is here to fish on a Sunday Jan 10 22:01:20 * Molly smiles, watching the lake Jan 10 22:01:49 Though it is awful for them, it is a little funny... Jan 10 22:02:58 * Morgan nods Jan 10 22:03:00 Yes, it is Jan 10 22:03:14 * Molly giggles Jan 10 22:03:35 Can you imagine Heinzharold’s face if it happened to him?! Jan 10 22:05:01 Strange mix of delight and fear I imagine Jan 10 22:05:10 * Molly laughs Jan 10 22:05:30 I rather think it unpleasantly cuts off sensation for the gentleman Jan 10 22:07:09 Oh probably Jan 10 22:08:20 * Molly smiles, leaning her cheek to his arm fondly. The scent from her crown catches his attention “Very naughty though, misbehaving in a church...” Jan 10 22:08:49 * Morgan nods Jan 10 22:08:50 Quite so Jan 10 22:09:41 How are you feeling about having lunch with my parents? Jan 10 22:09:49 * Morgan shrugs Jan 10 22:09:54 I'd rather not be... Jan 10 22:10:17 * Molly glances up at him Jan 10 22:10:24 what would you rather be doing? Jan 10 22:11:55 Being alone somewhere, taking the edge off before spending a few hours with you and our sons Jan 10 22:12:17 mmmm... I rather like hearing you say that Jan 10 22:13:16 Oh? Jan 10 22:13:32 I enjoy when you are frank about your desire Jan 10 22:14:05 * Morgan nods Jan 10 22:14:12 I may have noticed that Jan 10 22:14:22 * Molly smiles Jan 10 22:14:31 It’s the same for you? Jan 10 22:17:04 * Morgan nods Jan 10 22:17:07 Aye, it is Jan 10 22:17:45 I do desire you, liebes herz, so much that it’s driving me mad. Jan 10 22:19:50 And yet we've got to go and sit with your parents Jan 10 22:21:00 I know. If we were anywhere else I would see to it before we got there! Jan 10 22:21:34 * Morgan nods Jan 10 22:21:35 I know love Jan 10 22:21:52 * Molly looks around Jan 10 22:22:12 A pity, I suspect there’s plenty of privacy in the trees, but... Jan 10 22:23:45 *Otto’s house is on the other side of the trees, and the clearing not too far away. He walked this way many, many times during the two and a half years they lived in the cottage Jan 10 22:24:05 but... Jan 10 22:24:28 I don’t know it would feel appropriate here Jan 10 22:25:04 * Morgan nods Jan 10 22:25:06 I agree Jan 10 22:25:40 Just as if I was staying with my parents, it wouldn’t feel right to share a bed with you there, even if you could bear to stay Jan 10 22:26:29 Hang on, you'd want separate beds?! Jan 10 22:28:00 * Molly looks serious “I wouldn’t like it, but I don’t know it’d feel appropriate there. It would feel... disrespectful, I suppose” Jan 10 22:28:13 * Morgan frowns hard Jan 10 22:28:15 I see Jan 10 22:28:36 You do not agree? It is rather a moot point anyway.. Jan 10 22:29:03 * Morgan shrugs, looking out across the water Jan 10 22:29:18 * Molly sighs Jan 10 22:29:54 I’ve hurt you. Jan 10 22:30:02 Forget it Jan 10 22:30:52 * Molly stays quiet a little bit further, only the crunching of the shale under their boots. Then she says Jan 10 22:31:10 I wish we were not going to be tense with each other around them Jan 10 22:31:23 I'm afraid thats just tough Jan 10 22:33:44 * Molly nods, staying quiet. The bit that he always used to cut through from the cottage to the shore is still there, and well-trodden. The clearing looks different now, David’s plants flourishing here, like their own little farm. Varick and Jacques are helping David with the vegetables Jan 10 22:34:11 V: *he waves* Vati! There are little cabbages here! Jan 10 22:35:16 Are there indeed? Jan 10 22:36:28 *David looks over* Emil is with your Mother, she thinks he wants feeding Jan 10 22:37:01 * Molly looks to Morgan “I should go” Jan 10 22:37:31 * Morgan nods Jan 10 22:37:32 Alright Jan 10 22:38:00 * Molly takes a deep breath and then lets go of his hand, heading towards the house Jan 10 22:38:49 * Morgan shifts to watch Varick Jan 10 22:40:19 *Varick beckons him over, pointing out the growing cabbages* Jan 10 22:41:26 * Morgan goes over to him Jan 10 22:41:45 *David joins them* Jan 10 22:41:50 * Molly is now known as David Jan 10 22:42:11 The soil is good here, they will be big in no time Jan 10 22:42:30 * Morgan nods Jan 10 22:42:35 It always was Jan 10 22:42:51 V: what did you grow here? Jan 10 22:43:34 Potatoes, carrots, parsnips... a -lot- of flowers Jan 10 22:44:27 V: Florrie would like it here! Jan 10 22:44:45 * Morgan nods Jan 10 22:44:47 Yes she would Jan 10 22:44:51 * David smiles “She and Alice are welcome to visit us” Jan 10 22:45:01 * Morgan shakes his head a little Jan 10 22:45:06 Too close for Sascha and Otto Jan 10 22:46:00 Could arrangements not be made? Or perhaps just after the babies are born, when they will be at home Jan 10 22:46:07 maybe Jan 10 22:46:42 V: *he grins* I would really like that, Vati. We could show her all the different plants Jan 10 22:47:28 I'll see what we can do Jan 10 22:48:21 V: Maybe she could stay the night with me and Jacques! Jan 10 22:48:37 We'll see Jan 10 22:48:57 * David smiles, tidying up some tools “Go and wash up for lunch, boys” Jan 10 22:49:17 *Varick and Jacques go into the house, and David smiles* Jan 10 22:49:27 They remind me of my own children Jan 10 22:49:42 Do they? Jan 10 22:49:52 * David nods Jan 10 22:50:03 I like having children around Jan 10 22:50:34 * Morgan nods Jan 10 22:50:46 How are you both? Jan 10 22:51:32 * Morgan shrugs Jan 10 22:51:43 We'll be better when things are a little calmer Jan 10 22:51:52 * David nods Jan 10 22:52:55 I have noticed that she’s got a shorter temper now with being in foal Jan 10 22:53:50 Has she? Jan 10 22:54:41 * David nods Jan 10 22:54:47 Her Mother was no different Jan 10 22:55:53 * Morgan nods Jan 10 22:55:57 Sounds about right Jan 10 22:56:18 * David nods, looking around with satisfaction Jan 10 22:56:35 Are you hungry? I imagine Molly is Jan 10 22:58:20 I'd imagine so Jan 10 22:59:31 * David leads the way to the cottage that isn’t in the same place as before. Where Morgan’s own cottage stood there’s now flowers and fruit trees Jan 10 23:18:47 * David has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
