He’d actually bought it in Vacha, the biggest nearby town out of the Grafdom, not wanting to risk word getting to his parents. He’d waited until two days before the wedding, and pretended to be on a mission for his noble employer* Jun 01 18:02:56 * Morgan keeps hold of it as he goes back to his fathers office Jun 01 18:03:31 *they seem to have just had coffee sent on a tray * Jun 01 18:04:18 * Morgan frowns, tapping on the door frame Jun 01 18:05:11 * Molly is now known as Adalbrecht Jun 01 18:05:15 come in Jun 01 18:06:13 * Morgan puts the keys on the desk Jun 01 18:06:43 Verity: did you go to write Emil on the tree?

Jun 01 18:15:03 * Morgan looks a little uncomfortable Jun 01 18:15:09 I've an errand with HeinzHarold Jun 01 18:16:13 V: If you’re going to the village, you may see your Uncle there, Uinise invited him to show her all the things that would be different in Avalon Jun 01 18:17:27 That'll be useful for her Jun 01 18:17:58 *they both nod* Jun 01 18:19:30 I'd best get on... I'll see you both in a while Jun 01 18:21:24 *They let him go. But he bumps into the gaggle of women and children exiting the Veisgraf Wing. Inga is carrying Emil, Mina has a parasol open.

He looks like he’s forcing a smile Jun 01 18:30:36 * Morgan makes his way over to him Jun 01 18:30:55 Hey man. I got a shovel. Been wracking my brain how best to do it Jun 01 18:31:16 You don't have to stay man Jun 01 18:31:42 I’m not leavin’. Jun 01 18:32:09 This is too much to ask, and its too painful for you Jun 01 18:32:36 * Adalbrecht is now known as HH Jun 01 18:32:49 You’d do it for me, so shut up Jun 01 18:33:07 * Morgan nods a little Jun 01 18:33:12 How far down? Jun 01 18:33:50 Her coffin? Jun 01 18:33:53 * Morgan nods Jun 01 18:34:32 * HH frowns “Six feet, man, as it’s sposed to be. I wasn’t doin’ half a job for them.” Jun 01 18:35:07 That's what I figured Jun 01 18:35:46 How far you want it? Jun 01 18:36:23 * Morgan shakes his head Jun 01 18:36:29 Six feet is perfect Jun 01 18:37:49 On top, or you aiming to get it in? Jun 01 18:38:29 Dig down beside, I'll make a small hole to put the ring through Jun 01 18:40:19 * HH nods Jun 01 18:40:36 You need to do this digging yerself? Jun 01 18:40:44 * Morgan nods Jun 01 18:40:46 yeah Jun 01 18:42:00 * HH nods, standing back Jun 01 18:42:06 okay, man Jun 01 18:44:08 * Morgan takes the shovel, carefully removing a section of topsoil before digging in earnest Jun 01 18:45:14 * HH watches him like a hawk Jun 01 18:45:21 Molly not wanna be here? Jun 01 18:45:33 She offered Jun 01 18:46:35 You said no, right? Jun 01 18:47:02 I said I didn't know Jun 01 18:47:10 She already had plans with the womenfolk Jun 01 18:49:30 * HH nods Jun 01 18:49:53 women... need to come with instructions Jun 01 18:50:00 * Morgan nods Jun 01 18:51:19 * HH keeps an eye on Morgan’s expressions Jun 01 18:51:25 You doin’ okay? Jun 01 18:52:37 Been better Jun 01 18:55:10 * HH nods. The digging is going to take a while. It’s hard not to think of HH here digging the grave alone having recovered them from the burnt cottage and gently cared for them without the help or support of him or Claudia Jun 01 18:55:55 * Morgan starts scowling as he digs Jun 01 19:00:58 * HH waits. It’s hard work, and takes a while until he sees the edge of the coffin. It all feels very viscerally real suddenly. Jun 01 19:01:29 * Morgan stops suddenly, slumping down to his knees Jun 01 19:03:21 * HH comes to sit on the edge, reaching down to put his hand on Morgan’s head Jun 01 19:03:37 You’re okay, man... Take a deep breath Jun 01 19:03:43 * Morgan starts sobbing Jun 01 19:05:47 * HH stays where he is, keeping his hand on Morgan’s head. This is as close as he’s been to them for more than three years, not since he kissed them goodbye as they went for their nap and he went to the market and to ask about resizing the ring he has in his pocket Jun 01 19:06:36 * Morgan crumples into a heap on the floor, crying hard Jun 01 19:08:07 * HH stays with him, not trying to hurry him or shush him Jun 01 19:08:22 * Morgan slowly calms, still sobbing now and then Jun 01 19:10:26 * HH says “You wanna call Molly, man?” Jun 01 19:11:13 * Morgan doesn't respond, just laying in the dirt Jun 01 19:12:46 * HH lets him do this for a few minutes, watching whether he seems to be recovering any Jun 01 19:13:46 * Morgan eventually quiets further but doesn't move Jun 01 19:14:30 What can I do for ya, man? Jun 01 19:15:06 * Morgan shrugs Jun 01 19:17:29 * HH nods, just letting him be Jun 01 19:18:58 * Morgan spends a good few minutes like this before fidgeting enough to be sat up, digging to the side of the coffin with his hands Jun 01 19:20:05 *the dirt is soft and cool. The wood itself is decent quality, but not fancy* Jun 01 19:20:15 You want a minute alone, man? Jun 01 19:21:00 * Morgan shrugs Jun 01 19:21:02 Can do Jun 01 19:21:24 * HH stays put Jun 01 19:22:45 Can you find me a... well, a stick, about an inch thick? Jun 01 19:25:08 * HH gets up, going to look Jun 01 19:25:37 * Morgan quietly takes a dagger, twisting it to create a small circular hole in the coffin big enough to get the ring through Jun 01 19:26:54 *he manages this. He doesn’t feel alone now, and he can smell lily of the valley* Jun 01 19:27:12 * Morgan runs his thumb over the ring Jun 01 19:27:32 I'm so sorry Schatzen... I let you both down so badly... I deserve to be here, not you Jun 01 19:28:09 *it’s all so quiet Jun 01 19:29:37 You've got a sister and a brother now... Jun 01 19:31:15 *that sense of presence continues Jun 01 19:32:08 God I miss you Jun 01 19:33:23 *he can still smell the lily of the valley* Jun 01 19:34:30 What am I supposed to do love? Jun 01 19:35:27 *there’s nothing but a very gentle breeze across his brow Jun 01 19:38:30 I'm sorry I kept this from you Jun 01 19:38:50 * Morgan gently kisses the ring before pushing it through the hole into the coffin Jun 01 19:39:12 *he hears, very faintly, what sounds like a windchime* Jun 01 19:39:51 * Morgan scowls, shaking his head a little Jun 01 19:42:39 *HH arrives again* Jun 01 19:42:40 hey Jun 01 19:43:18 hey Jun 01 19:44:16 got your stick Jun 01 19:44:27 * Morgan reaches for it Jun 01 19:45:18 *its just what he needs* Jun 01 19:45:53 * Morgan spends a few minutes cutting a plug for the coffin, making sure its just right before pushing it into place Jun 01 19:46:40 *it fits perfectly* Jun 01 19:47:35 * Morgan takes a bit of soil to pack tightly against it before standing and throwing the shovel up out of the hole Jun 01 19:48:48 * HH offers him a hand Jun 01 19:49:57 * Morgan takes it, hauling himself up and out Jun 01 19:50:37 * HH hugs him hard as soon as he’s up Jun 01 19:51:01 * Morgan holds onto him tightly Jun 01 19:51:57 * HH whispers “love you, man” Jun 01 19:52:34 Love you too Jun 01 19:53:03 Want me to finish it? Jun 01 19:53:58 * Morgan shakes his head Jun 01 19:54:00 no Jun 01 19:55:13 * HH nods Jun 01 19:55:21 Okay man. You got this. Jun 01 19:55:47 * Morgan nods, letting go and picking up the shovel to start filling in the hole Jun 01 19:59:47 *it’s much quicker to fill than it was to take out Jun 01 20:00:40 * Morgan carefully replaces the topsoil when he's done Jun 01 20:04:02 *he manages to make a good job of it. HH is stood there, watching. The expression on his face is sad, much like it was that day that Da was laid to rest. Despite the fourteen years that have passed, the memory of his best friend at thirteen and facing all the responsibility of having to support his mother and four sisters is strong Jun 01 20:05:13 * Morgan steps back, looking at the soil Jun 01 20:05:51 * HH nods Jun 01 20:05:58 Good job, man. Jun 01 20:06:13 * Morgan nods a little Jun 01 20:11:42 it was the right thing to do Jun 01 20:12:31 * Morgan nods, looking defeated Jun 01 20:13:03 whatcha wanna do? walk? drink?

Jun 01 20:18:40 Yes? Jun 01 20:18:53 are you alright, my love? Jun 01 20:19:41 * Morgan sighs Jun 01 20:19:44 I don't know yet Jun 01 20:20:02 Would you like me to stay with you? Jun 01 20:20:16 I thought you were with the others and the children Jun 01 20:21:11 I made an excuse when Heinzharold arrived Jun 01 20:21:42 * Morgan nods, coming out of the bathroom Jun 01 20:22:23 * Molly watches him with concern Jun 01 20:23:57 * Morgan watches her for a moment, shoulders slumped Jun 01 20:24:14 * Molly opens her arms “come here please” Jun 01 20:24:55 * Morgan nods, moving to her Jun 01 20:25:49 * Molly goes on her tiptoes, arms around his neck Jun 01 20:26:39 * Morgan leans against her quietly Jun 01 20:27:32 * Molly holds him firmly Jun 01 20:27:42 I am so very proud of you. Jun 01 20:28:46 God knows why Jun 01 20:29:53 Because that was very brave of you. Jun 01 20:31:15 If you say so Jun 01 20:31:41 it was, liebes herz, and you’d think it were it anyone else Jun 01 20:31:50 maybe Jun 01 20:32:34 you will be gentle to the man I love please Jun 01 20:34:29 * Morgan shrugs Jun 01 20:34:36 I'll try but its difficult Jun 01 20:37:07 I know,but he is a good man, with so much love. And he truly means the world to me Jun 01 20:43:51 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jun 01 20:47:06 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Jun 01 20:49:27 * Morgan nods Jun 01 20:49:29 I'll try Jun 01 20:49:46 thank you. do you need some magic? Jun 01 20:50:08 * Morgan shakes his head Jun 01 20:50:13 I just feel numb Jun 01 20:51:50 * Molly nods Jun 01 20:52:07 of the grief, or in general? Jun 01 20:52:32 In general Jun 01 20:53:24 * Molly nods Jun 01 20:53:49 it will pass, my love Jun 01 20:55:37 At some point Jun 01 20:57:03 I have faith in you. You have beaten this before, and you will again Jun 01 20:58:07 I didn't beat it. I ignored it, while I waited to die Jun 01 20:59:40 And then you learned to walk beside it, and chose to live. Jun 01 21:00:52 * Morgan sighs Jun 01 21:00:53 Maybe Jun 01 21:01:56 * Molly leans back, looking at him Jun 01 21:02:04 I do not want to lose you. Jun 01 21:02:35 You're worried I'll snap as well Jun 01 21:28:40 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jun 01 21:36:07 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
