**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jan 15 01:14:13 2025 Jan 15 01:14:13 * Now talking on #7thsea Jan 15 01:14:17 * logger (logger@my.server.name) has joined Jan 15 20:12:54 * MorganK (~MorganKoe@host81-129-176-208.range81-129.btcentralplus.com) has joined Jan 15 20:16:26 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Jan 15 20:16:40 [Love, I'll catch up with you if that's alright... looks like my father wants me] Jan 15 20:16:40 [yes, alright my love...] Jan 15 20:16:40 [you are sure?] Jan 15 20:16:40 [I only wanted to cuddle up with you anyway] Jan 15 20:16:40 [I won't be long] Jan 15 20:16:41 *Molly doesn’t look unhappy, because Inga has handed Emil over and is walking arm in arm with her whilst they whisper. Adalbrecht walks beside Morgan* Jan 15 20:16:45 * Edward is now known as Adalbrecht Jan 15 20:16:47 what was going on with your dog? Jan 15 20:16:49 There was a stag approaching... Ballard was protecting Molly Jan 15 20:16:51 * Adalbrecht smiles Jan 15 20:16:53 Very well. I doubt she was in any danger Jan 15 20:16:55 Probably not but... they can be unpredictable Jan 15 20:16:57 * Adalbrecht nods Jan 15 20:16:59 He is protective like you Jan 15 20:17:03 * MorganK nods Jan 15 20:17:05 Yes, he is Jan 15 20:17:29 * Molly is now known as Adalbrecht Jan 15 20:17:46 Edward informs me they will not be staying much longer Jan 15 20:19:04 * MorganK nods Jan 15 20:19:25 As much as we dislike it, its time Jan 15 20:19:45 * Adalbrecht nods Jan 15 20:20:01 I have become more accustomed to having Florrie here Jan 15 20:20:47 * MorganK nods Jan 15 20:21:02 We are all going to miss her terribly Jan 15 20:21:56 * Adalbrecht nods Jan 15 20:22:03 We are Jan 15 20:23:08 At least now you'll be able to talk to her once she's home Jan 15 20:23:40 * Adalbrecht nods Jan 15 20:23:55 It is still an unsettling sort of thing Jan 15 20:25:29 * MorganK sighs Jan 15 20:25:56 It is. Sadly its one of the easier things I've had to get used to Jan 15 20:26:02 * Adalbrecht nods Jan 15 20:26:19 I welcome keeping the connection with her Jan 15 20:28:03 * MorganK nods Jan 15 20:28:09 She has adjusted well to you... all of you Jan 15 20:28:32 * Adalbrecht smiles Jan 15 20:29:01 What initially seemed like a disaster for our family has slowly become a joy Jan 15 20:31:13 * MorganK nods Jan 15 20:32:44 This assumes that Sascha will have delivered within the week Jan 15 20:33:00 I think it will be... Jan 15 20:33:44 * Adalbrecht nods Jan 15 20:33:57 I suppose you’re keen to return to your own house Jan 15 20:34:49 Its... difficult. Jan 15 20:35:12 why is that? Jan 15 20:36:06 I sort of yearn to be in both places... we've missed a lot of time together Jan 15 20:36:53 * Adalbrecht nods Jan 15 20:37:30 Once you have gone home and Edward has gone on to Fischler, I wouldn’t expect we will have much time here again Jan 15 20:38:25 We didn't expect -this- time... Jan 15 20:39:22 * Adalbrecht nods Jan 15 20:39:28 That is true Jan 15 20:39:54 Besides, its not like we'll only have letters... we can still talk... Jan 15 20:41:01 * Adalbrecht nods Jan 15 20:42:06 Yes we can. We will see you at the wedding though, and I believe Edward plans to return in July, which would be a good time for Molly to come to us to await the baby Jan 15 20:42:36 We'll see Jan 15 20:43:17 She should be somewhere your mothers can keep an eye on her Jan 15 20:45:30 She is quite capable of keeping herself and the baby safe Jan 15 20:46:43 What about when you are seeing to problems in Gottkirchen, as this time? Jan 15 20:47:37 * MorganK sighs Jan 15 20:47:48 I'll discuss it with her... but she wants to spend some time in her home. Jan 15 20:48:09 * Adalbrecht nods Jan 15 20:49:09 She does seem to enjoy just spending time with the children Jan 15 20:49:37 * MorganK nods Jan 15 20:49:43 They are her sons... Jan 15 20:50:45 I am aware of that Jan 15 20:51:27 * MorganK nods Jan 15 20:53:15 * Adalbrecht looks quite happy walking through the familiar grounds. Molly is going to take the children with Alice upstairs, and this gives Morgan chance to speak to any of the others, or follow Jan 15 20:53:53 * MorganK just wanders along quietly Jan 15 20:58:07 *he ends up upstairs helping with the children. They’re fairly well-behaved, and the four of them gather in one room for stories, lying on the beds. Morgan has been left with them all Jan 15 20:58:18 * Adalbrecht is now known as Varick Jan 15 20:58:28 Vati, what’s in the Sudlache? Jan 15 20:58:40 Fish... and... things... Jan 15 21:00:52 What things? Jan 15 21:00:59 Florrie: Plants? Jan 15 21:01:47 No, not plants... I don't really know what's in there Jan 15 21:03:01 I think it’s big whales... Remember those ones we saw that were black and white and they had a baby and they liked us on our dead grandmother ship and they liked it when you whistled and then they did the whistle too? Jan 15 21:03:24 * MorganK nods Jan 15 21:03:29 Orca's, yes I remember Jan 15 21:04:28 * Varick yawns “maybe there’s orcas” Jan 15 21:04:36 Florrie: Orchids? Jan 15 21:04:47 *Emil says* Id. Jan 15 21:05:39 Orca, Florrie... its a type of whale, bit black and white things Jan 15 21:06:53 Florrie: No! no whale. Lake got orchids. Jan 15 21:08:07 I don't think Orchids grow underwater sweetheart Jan 15 21:08:28 *Florrie pouts* I grow orchids in lake! Jan 15 21:08:44 I'm sure you could sweetheart, but not -that- lake Jan 15 21:08:56 Florrie: Grow! Jan 15 21:09:07 Emil copies: Oh! Jan 15 21:10:32 What stories would we like today? Jan 15 21:11:03 Florrie: Rumplestilskin! Jan 15 21:11:35 * MorganK nods, quietly talking his way through the tale Jan 15 21:12:56 *The children gradually fall asleep, except Emil who is just playing with his feet Jan 15 21:13:50 * MorganK picks him up, rocking him gently Jan 15 21:15:20 *Emil grins away. it’s unusual for Morgan to have much time just with Emil lately* Jan 15 21:16:53 * MorganK smiles at him, gently stroking his hairline Jan 15 21:18:14 *Emil watches him with that special fondness, the one that had made Morgan realise Emil’s bond with him, and that in turn reminds him of Jana, though it’d be hard for them to look any more different* Jan 15 21:20:01 * MorganK carries on rocking him quietly Jan 15 21:20:50 *Emil is still smiling as he starts to fall asleep* Jan 15 21:21:24 * MorganK smiles, waiting until he's asleep before gently putting him into bed Jan 15 21:21:59 *Florrie has to be moved too, but soon they’re all asleep* Jan 15 21:22:31 *Maggie is here to supervise. Alice is sat at the table with coffee Jan 15 21:22:57 * MorganK watches Alice for a moment Jan 15 21:23:01 You alright? Jan 15 21:23:34 * Varick is now known as Alice Jan 15 21:24:01 I’m fine, just catching up on some plans for when we go home Jan 15 21:24:41 Oh? Jan 15 21:25:57 I am going to have the blessing collect us,and then we’ll take Christopher as far as Insel Jan 15 21:27:07 You don't wish me to take you? Jan 15 21:27:28 I wouldn’t think you’d want to leave Molly again Jan 15 21:28:40 Its difficult to contemplate yes but... Jan 15 21:29:54 What were you think8ng? Jan 15 21:30:35 Molly has suggested previously I take you home... she's also suggested taking you as far as the port, so that's not much help Jan 15 21:31:47 We should take Christopher too Jan 15 21:32:59 That'd make sense regardless Jan 15 21:33:26 * Alice nods Jan 15 21:33:54 Why don’t you discuss it with her? We can manage though Jan 15 21:34:15 * MorganK nods Jan 15 21:34:21 Aye I will do Jan 15 21:35:20 * Alice nods “How are you doing?” Jan 15 21:36:00 Difficult to say... Jan 15 21:37:36 Difficult being back here? Jan 15 21:39:02 Some, yes... much more than I expected, actually Jan 15 21:41:02 * Alice offers him some coffee and a seat Jan 15 21:41:22 I’ve got time Jan 15 21:41:49 * MorganK sits down, sipping the coffee Jan 15 21:42:16 I've had a bit of difficulty with how they accepted Florrie... Jan 15 21:43:15 Is that because they didn’t accept Jana? Jan 15 21:43:20 * MorganK nods Jan 15 21:43:29 She deserved better Jan 15 21:44:50 * Alice nods Jan 15 21:45:22 No child deserves to be shunned for choices made by their parents. It’s not like she had any say in it Jan 15 21:45:42 * MorganK nods Jan 15 21:46:31 Its been a bit disorienting too... Jan 15 21:46:50 * Alice nods Jan 15 21:47:08 Did you ever bring Jana here? Jan 15 21:47:52 * MorganK shakes his head Jan 15 21:47:56 We weren't welcome Jan 15 21:49:07 I think they all regret it now Jan 15 21:50:17 I've no doubt Jan 15 21:51:09 It brings up a lot of old resentment though, when you go back somewhere Jan 15 21:51:19 * MorganK nods Jan 15 21:51:25 It really does. I feel bad about that... Jan 15 21:52:17 I hated going back to Knaresborough the first time after I was disowned Jan 15 21:53:22 * MorganK has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jan 15 22:13:38 * Alice has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
