Jun 07 13:12:08 * Molly leads him from the parlour Jun 07 13:13:33 *they find the others all out on the lawn. Claudia looks bored, but Uinise seems happy to be chatting with Christopher* Jun 07 13:13:51 * Morgan finds somewhere to sit quietly Jun 07 13:14:48 *Emil immediately toddles to him, holding something out* Jun 07 13:15:10 What've you got there little man? Jun 07 13:16:04 *its a blue feather from Bir* Jun 07 13:16:45 Oh, where'd you get that from? Jun 07 13:17:39 *Emil babbles, rubbing it on Morgan’s face with an excited noise* Jun 07 13:17:53 Oh is it tickle? Jun 07 13:20:44 *Emil laughs. Ballard is beside Molly, his head on her lap, and she strokes his head as she talks. He seems to have welcomed her easily, as if there’s no conflict for him that Molly is here and Dietlinde isn’t Jun 07 13:21:08 * Morgan tickles Emil gently Jun 07 13:22:00 *Emil laughs, plonking on his lap. Jun 07 13:22:20 Mina: I am unsure what to wear Jun 07 13:22:49 clothes Jun 07 13:23:16 *this makes Mina blush, but Edward smirk* Jun 07 13:25:39 * Morgan cuddles Emil to him Jun 07 13:25:57 Verity: I have a peach dress that I’ve never worn, it’s a little too short for my liking Jun 07 13:27:06 *He remembers a peach dress being in the pile taken that morning and handed over to Dietlinde. Maybe it was due to be shortened... but if it was, he’d soon forgotten anything but her* Jun 07 13:28:38 * Morgan stares at the ground, rocking Emil gently Jun 07 13:29:22 *Emil snuggles up, chatting away* Jun 07 13:30:53 Mina: Thank you, that would be lovely Jun 07 13:31:33 Inga, sat on the grass beside HH and leaning against him: What will you wear Molly? Jun 07 13:32:39 hmmm... My choices are becoming quite limited. I think my black and gold might still fit Jun 07 13:34:12 HH: $ruining your wife’s wardrobe, man$ Jun 07 13:34:41 * Morgan blinks, nodding a little Jun 07 13:35:04 Claudia: $whats wrong?$ Jun 07 13:36:06 $Rough day$ Jun 07 13:37:09 C: $anything I can do?$ Jun 07 13:39:50 $Not really. Much as I want help, there's nothing to be done$ Jun 07 13:41:05 C: $could get some training done?$ Jun 07 13:43:02 * Morgan nods a little Jun 07 13:44:55 HH: $I’m up for it, could invite King Edward$ Jun 07 13:45:38 * Morgan nods a little Jun 07 13:45:43 $yeah okay$ Jun 07 13:46:00 HH: Right, I’m gonna go train.

They fight in pairs first and then move onto 3 against 1 rotating around. Jun 07 14:04:13 * Morgan concentrates as he fights, not letting his mind wander Jun 07 14:05:19 *this is extremely helpful for his mental state* Jun 07 14:10:33 * Morgan fights as long as they want to Jun 07 14:17:06 *They all seem fine to keep going. But after nearly an hour he spots Uinise watching them all* Jun 07 14:17:17 * Morgan speaks quietly Jun 07 14:17:20 We are being observed Jun 07 14:20:14 *Edward looks over, then smiles before inclining his head. Uinise only has eyes for Claudia, who is comparing her arm muscles with HH’s* Jun 07 14:20:51 Yes its very impressive, but show muscles are no good when you encounter an immovable force... Jun 07 14:22:13 Edward: are you implying we’re all weak? Jun 07 14:24:17 * Morgan shrugs Jun 07 14:24:42 I've already shown -you- can't shift me... just before Heidi scared us witless Jun 07 14:25:14 *Edward chuckles* Jun 07 14:30:08 * Morgan looks over at Claudia and HeinzHarold Jun 07 14:31:10 *Theyre still comparing, shoulders now. Uinise looks happy. Edward watches her* Does she fancy Heinzharold? Jun 07 14:31:28 Everyone else does Jun 07 14:33:36 Ed: I don’t Jun 07 14:34:13 You know what I mean Jun 07 14:36:00 * Molly is now known as Edward Jun 07 14:36:20 I do. The ladies are excited about tomorrow night Jun 07 14:39:02 It certainly seems so Jun 07 14:40:11 they’ll enjoy the together before we go Jun 07 14:40:49 * Morgan nods Jun 07 14:40:52 I imagine they will yes Jun 07 14:42:36 how are you all today? Molly looks well Jun 07 14:43:55 * Morgan smiles weakly Jun 07 14:44:05 She's fine. I am having a difficult time of it Jun 07 14:44:32 * Edward nods him away from the others Jun 07 14:44:36 what ails you? Jun 07 14:45:00 Several things... I've not felt this bad for a long time Jun 07 14:46:12 Let’s walk. Jun 07 14:47:01 * Morgan nods a little Jun 07 14:48:27 * Edward starts to walk Jun 07 14:48:35 what has happened? Jun 07 14:49:06 For a start... nightmares... Jun 07 14:49:55 * Edward nods Jun 07 14:50:03 They seem to come and go Jun 07 14:53:35 It was particularly brutal Jun 07 14:54:27 what was it? Jun 07 14:55:13 The annexation... Jun 07 14:55:44 * Edward nods seriously Jun 07 14:55:54 I’ve had such nightmares Jun 07 14:58:43 * Morgan nods Jun 07 15:02:14 They'd all been killed... I'd seen HeinzHarold and Claudia hanging...they'd killed our parents, the staff... murdered baby Hope and raped Molly... Jun 07 15:03:28 * Edward looks disgusted Jun 07 15:06:26 horrible, brother Jun 07 15:29:04 * Edward has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
