Or will you risk it?” May 13 20:27:01 Best have perfume May 13 20:27:03 * Molly nods May 13 20:27:05 You cannot trust yourself, hmm? *she puts some at her wrists* May 13 20:27:07 More planning to be able to concentrate when father starts berating me May 13 20:27:09 * Molly nods, putting some just behind her ears May 13 20:27:11 You think he will? May 13 20:27:13 Probably May 13 20:27:15 * Molly nods, putting some between her breasts May 13 20:27:17 That would be like him May 13 20:27:21 * Morgan nods May 13 20:27:23 Very much so May 13 20:27:25 * Molly nods, and comes to embrace him May 13 20:27:27 There, how do I smell now? May 13 20:27:29 *the pregnancy scent is still there, but it’s easier to concentrate on the rosewater* May 13 20:27:31 * Morgan nods May 13 20:27:33 wonderful May 13 20:27:35 * Molly nods May 13 20:27:37 Good May 13 20:28:09 * Molly smiles with mischief “Tonight, I will be on my best behaviour for you” May 13 20:28:19 I would appreciate that May 13 20:28:52 * Molly nods “I make not promises for tomorrow, or the day after, or the rest of our lives though...” May 13 20:30:05 That does not come as a surprise May 13 20:30:43 * Molly giggles, kissing his cheek before moving to the door “no... but you might!” May 13 20:31:03 * Morgan chuckles May 13 20:32:22 * Molly walks towards the dining room, not needing direction to navigate the huge house of his ancestors that she’d had when he brought her here almost exactly a year ago now May 13 20:33:15 * Morgan follows her quietly May 13 20:34:01 *when they get to the antechamber, Heinzharold and Inga are there alone. They’re all a little early* May 13 20:34:17 Wasn't sure if you'd be down to your Ma May 13 20:34:50 HH: I told her I was comin’ up the the Big Ouse where they can cook prop’ly May 13 20:35:32 And then you woke up from your dream? May 13 20:36:04 HH grins: yep, I wouldn’ dare May 13 20:36:12 * Morgan nods May 13 20:36:16 figured May 13 20:36:33 *Inga hugs Molly, looking concerned* how are you feeling now? May 13 20:36:54 HH watches them: $overdid it, huh?$ May 13 20:37:28 $a bit aye. She's okay$ May 13 20:37:38 I’m better than I was, not so tired. May 13 20:38:00 *HH hugs her too, and he can see her smile at it* May 13 20:38:47 I: Ma has heard you got faint earlier, your parents and Sascha and Otto are worried May 13 20:39:31 * Molly sighs “I’ll send someone to take a message” May 13 20:40:17 Good idea. Maybe once the telling off is over, we can get someone sent May 13 20:40:39 HH: who’s telling who off? May 13 20:41:18 I'm anticipating some ire from my father May 13 20:41:48 HH: whatcha been caught doin’? May 13 20:42:24 He wants us to remain here May 13 20:42:56 HH: Ah man, not good May 13 20:43:04 * Morgan nods May 13 20:44:21 I: *she looks concerned* will you be staying? May 13 20:46:10 Thats not the plan, no May 13 20:46:26 *Inga and HH both look relieved May 13 20:46:35 I: That’s good May 13 20:48:35 HH: still need that table makin’ May 13 20:48:40 * Morgan nods May 13 20:48:41 I know May 13 20:50:41 I want to be in my own home, with the children, for a little while at least... I feel a need for some normalcy May 13 20:50:52 *Inga and HH nod* May 13 20:52:00 * Morgan nods a little May 13 20:52:12 * Molly looks to him May 13 20:52:39 You wish that too? Just a bit of quiet, some rest? May 13 20:54:25 I can see arguments for both options May 13 20:54:50 HH: He’s always liked lounging around doing no work May 13 20:56:42 I: I don’t think he’ll get to do much of that! May 13 20:56:52 Not sure I know how to May 13 20:58:15 HH: Generally I just lie onmy back an’ tell her to get on with it May 13 20:58:20 I: Heinzharold! May 13 20:58:46 * Morgan glances over HEinzHarolds shoulder toward the door May 13 20:59:30 *there’s no one around, not even a servant May 13 21:01:21 * Morgan smirks a little May 13 21:01:57 * Molly smiles May 13 21:02:06 I think that could be arranged May 13 21:03:12 * Morgan rolls his neck May 13 21:03:31 HH: $whats up?$ May 13 21:03:51 *He hears Edward and Mina approach* May 13 21:05:17 $Just not looking forward to it... mother and father have been arguing$ May 13 21:05:48 HH frowns noticeably, but the women are already chatting about whether the garden will be ready* May 13 21:06:05 $about you going?$ May 13 21:07:37 $yeah$ May 13 21:09:58 *Edward comes in, Mina on his arm. They look good together, very well dressed. This reminds him of Mina’s flower stockings, and in turn Molly’s ones that arrived earlier, followed by how they will look when she wears just them and smile, pregnant body displayed for him to sketch May 13 21:12:23 * Morgan looks away, concentrating on not blushing May 13 21:13:53 *Edwrad also asks Molly how she is, to which she replies she’s fine* Ed: I hope my brother has been taking good care of you May 13 21:13:59 * Molly smiles “Always.” May 13 21:15:23 * Morgan smiles a little May 13 21:16:06 *Edward kisses Molly’s knuckles before moving to Morgan and whispering “have you seen him yet?” May 13 21:16:34 * Morgan shakes his head slightly May 13 21:18:53 *Edward nods* Alice said she wanted to spend some time on planning for the next few months and will not join us for dinner May 13 21:19:06 Right... okay May 13 21:20:50 *there’s the sound of Christopher, Verity and Adalbrecht approaching* May 13 21:21:00 *Edward watches the doorway* May 13 21:21:25 * Morgan draws a deep breath May 13 21:23:14 *Adalbrecht has Verity on his arm, and they look at each other very fondly before he greets the others with a Good Evening May 13 21:23:46 * Morgan inclines his head to his parents May 13 21:26:30 *Adalbrecht seems more interested in looking Molly over. As she had that first day, being brought to this massive estate from their tiny four room cottage, she keeps her nerve admirably under the scrutiny of a Graf May 13 21:27:12 * Morgan waits quietly May 13 21:28:30 Ad: You have rested today, Molly? May 13 21:29:05 * Molly nods, smiling “I have, my Lord, thanks to the special care you’ve had the maids give me” May 13 21:29:36 *Adalbrcht nods, and then kisses Verity’s cheek before offering Molly his arm* May 13 21:29:59 HH: $gotta be a changeling, right?$ May 13 21:30:12 *Edward looks a little puzzled* May 13 21:30:38 $What the hell?$ May 13 21:32:15 * Molly smiles again, thanking him, and proceeds with him into the drawing room. Verity watches them go with a smile May 13 21:33:29 * Morgan moves to his mother, offering his arm May 13 21:33:53 *Verity smiles* Thank you, dear boy. How are -you-? May 13 21:34:02 * Morgan sighs May 13 21:34:08 I'm alright mother... you? May 13 21:36:10 *Verity smiles, nodding. It’s hard to tell, but the little smile is almost secretive, pleased* I am, thank you May 13 21:36:30 * Morgan nods slowly May 13 21:36:31 good May 13 21:38:28 *Edward escorts Inga in, and Mina must say something to Heinzharold quietly, because his best friend looks like he’s not sure if he’s heard an innuendo or not* May 13 21:38:46 * Morgan smirks slightly May 13 21:40:25 *Claudia and Uinise appear at the last minute, not quite late, and Christopher escorts the emissary to her seat* May 13 21:43:20 *Everyone gets settled in, and the meal begins once they are served and Adalbrecht has eaten the first mouthful, a job that will become Morgan’s in five days when he is at Innesbruck again* May 13 21:43:49 * Morgan eats quietly May 13 21:46:33 *The others talk amongst themselves. If Adalbrecht plans to berate him, there’s no sign of it when he addresses and converses with Morgan. He and Verity seem very happy, very much in accord. Edward looks slightly confused about this still May 13 21:46:49 HH: $is he flirting with her?$ May 13 21:46:58 $Looks that way doesn't it$ May 13 21:47:15 HH: $changeling. Gotta be.$ May 13 21:47:31 C: $What are you pair on about?$ May 13 21:49:14 $Mother and Father have been arguing, but look at them$ May 13 21:50:19 C: $huh$ May 13 21:50:31 $changeling$ May 13 21:50:38 HH: $Make up sex$ May 13 21:51:16 *Claudia looks briefly disgusted* $I’d prefer to think he’s a changeling$ May 13 21:54:31 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) May 13 21:55:12 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
