If somethings bothering you... Jun 29 14:00:27 * Claudia shakes her head “No, nothing’s bothering me. It was a nice moment, you know?

Jun 29 15:52:03 Little bit Jun 29 15:53:43 V: I don’t like thunder Jun 29 15:55:19 I know, its why I came back so quickly Jun 29 15:56:05 *Varick sighs* Will it go away? Jun 29 15:57:48 Once the storms moved over, yes, just like always Jun 29 15:58:23 *Varick watches the windo warily* Jun 29 15:58:33 F: What doin, Ballhead? Jun 29 15:59:17 Nothing much sweetheart, just thought I'd come be with Varick until the storms gone Jun 29 16:00:37 F: Why? Jun 29 16:01:09 The thunder bothers him Jun 29 16:02:17 F: I not scared. Jun 29 16:03:01 I know sweetheart Jun 29 16:04:14 *Florrie goes to the window* It okay Varick. Not be scared, okay? Jun 29 16:04:27 * Edward watches her with pride Jun 29 16:05:33 * Morgan smiles a little Jun 29 16:06:56 *Varick nods. There’s another peal overhead* Jun 29 16:07:48 *Mina looks to Edward, who automatically offers her a hand up from the floor* M: I will f8nd a servant to have food brought for the children and coffee for the adults Jun 29 16:08:44 * Morgan nods Jun 29 16:08:46 Thank you Jun 29 16:09:43 M: Did you wish to escort me? Jun 29 16:10:58 * Morgan nods Jun 29 16:10:59 Alright Jun 29 16:12:18 * Edward is now known as Mina Jun 29 16:12:26 * Mina smiles, waiting for him Jun 29 16:12:51 * Morgan opens the door and offers his arm Jun 29 16:13:30 * Mina takes it. Her perfume smells nice, expensive Jun 29 16:14:57 * Morgan leads her out Jun 29 16:15:57 * Mina waits until they’re away from the others before taking a piece of paper from her pocket Jun 29 16:17:12 This it the letter? Jun 29 16:17:53 * Mina nods, smiling. It’s not so courtly as usual Jun 29 16:18:08 * Morgan takes it Jun 29 16:18:11 Am I going to blush? Jun 29 16:18:58 * Mina smiles “I hope so” Jun 29 16:19:46 * Morgan chuckles, reading it as he walks Jun 29 16:20:07 *it starts with regular greetings. The first cringey bit says ‘When the Almighty Maker made you, He left nothing out. ‘ Jun 29 16:20:49 Clumsy... Jun 29 16:22:01 * Mina nods Jun 29 16:22:04 read on. Jun 29 16:22:10 * Morgan nods, doing so Jun 29 16:22:16 *The next is “I long to visit the Redwood Forest again, rove amongst the bush, and bathe myself in its streams. “ Jun 29 16:24:07 * Morgan cringes Jun 29 16:24:53 * Mina giggles Jun 29 16:24:59 It’s awful Jun 29 16:25:36 Its exactly what you expect from a young man Jun 29 16:26:20 He was better a year later. Read on. Jun 29 16:27:03 * Morgan nods, doing so Jun 29 16:28:03 *the next is “Your eyes are like beautiful pools that I want to wash myself in. “ Jun 29 16:29:20 Wash himself?! Jun 29 16:29:53 * Mina nods, laughing “I’m not sure he meant that as awfully as it came out!” Jun 29 16:30:21 No... I would hope not anyway Jun 29 16:31:06 * Mina looks to him to see if he’s blushing Jun 29 16:31:49 * Morgan isn't Jun 29 16:33:16 *the next says Every guilder I save to see you, I imagine slipping it into your little silken purse Jun 29 16:33:25 * Morgan blushes Jun 29 16:33:27 God thats awful Jun 29 16:33:37 * Mina nods Jun 29 16:33:57 I’d be angry about it if it wasn’t so awful and embarrassing! Jun 29 16:34:29 * Morgan nods Jun 29 16:34:32 Its atrocious Jun 29 16:36:37 * Mina nods Jun 29 16:37:11 *the last bit says “With a kiss on your mouth, and one lower down… much much lower! Edward.” Jun 29 16:38:45 At least the last line was minimally cringeworthy Jun 29 16:39:26 * Mina nods Jun 29 16:39:38 At least he did not send it! Jun 29 16:40:29 Thankfully... I think he'd die from shame... Jun 29 16:41:39 * Mina nods Jun 29 16:42:33 He’s never written anything to me that was so ineloquent Jun 29 16:43:25 Should hope not Jun 29 16:43:49 * Mina smiles “they got much better... Still lewd though” Jun 29 16:45:30 * Morgan nods, smiling a little Jun 29 16:45:35 Couldn't be much worse Jun 29 16:47:34 Were your own love letters to Dietlinde and Molly more dignified? Jun 29 16:49:28 I never wrote any... to either of them, for different reasons Jun 29 16:49:56 Why not? Jun 29 16:51:03 Dietlinde couldn't read... no matter how often I offered to teach her, she always said she knew what she needed to know... Molly... I'd never been ready to, and I'm really not any good at it Jun 29 16:51:40 * Mina looks surprised “I thought everyone knew how to read!” Jun 29 16:52:44 * Morgan shakes his head Jun 29 16:52:48 Not by a long way Jun 29 16:55:15 * Mina nods “Everyone should be able to read. I will speak to Edward about this” Jun 29 16:58:49 I agree Jun 29 17:00:10 * Mina nods Jun 29 17:00:28 why weren’t you ready to? Jun 29 17:01:14 Its been a difficult road to walk since the fire... Jun 29 17:01:43 could you expand upon that? Jun 29 17:02:45 I couldn't be... that vulnerable until fairly recently Jun 29 17:04:01 * Mina nods “That sounds like a lack of trust” Jun 29 17:04:41 Its not what it is, but I can appreciate it'd look like it Jun 29 17:06:46 * Mina nods “Perhaps Eddie would give you some tips” Jun 29 17:07:42 Its not -really- my sort of thing Jun 29 17:09:12 * Mina smiles “I’ve always treasured the notes and poems he sent to me” Jun 29 17:09:52 * Morgan nods a little Jun 29 17:09:56 That is plain to see Jun 29 17:11:55 * Mina smiles “It was confusing that he’d disappeared from my life when he’d seemed to love me so much” Jun 29 17:12:37 * Morgan nods Jun 29 17:12:41 Aye, I imagine it was Jun 29 17:14:26 Now we are united, in all ways Jun 29 17:14:37 * Morgan nods Jun 29 17:14:43 I am glad... it was hard won Jun 29 17:16:05 * Mina nods Jun 29 17:16:19 As was you and Molly, I think Jun 29 17:17:12 * Morgan nods Jun 29 17:17:16 Yes, it was Jun 29 17:18:03 You must have found your own ways to woo her Jun 29 17:18:37 * Morgan smiles a little Jun 29 17:18:41 Evidently Jun 29 17:20:31 * Mina smiles “Her stomach tells that tale now” Jun 29 17:21:52 * Morgan nods Jun 29 17:21:53 Oh yes Jun 29 17:22:20 It must make you feel great pride Jun 29 17:24:07 * Morgan nods Jun 29 17:24:11 It really does Jun 29 17:25:35 Edward will feel likewise, I think Jun 29 17:25:57 I've no doubt of that... he so desperately wants children with you Jun 29 17:26:04 * Mina nods Jun 29 17:26:10 And I with him Jun 29 17:27:22 * Morgan nods Jun 29 17:29:44 Next year... Jun 29 17:30:56 * Morgan nods a little Jun 29 17:30:56 Aye Jun 29 17:32:49 Edward will need your company Jun 29 17:33:08 * Morgan nods Jun 29 17:33:18 I don't imagine his friends being much use when the time comes... Jun 29 17:34:33 only at getting him drunk Jun 29 17:35:36 * Morgan nods Jun 29 17:35:37 quite Jun 29 17:36:41 He tells me that, like Molly, I will be forbidden from riding Jun 29 17:37:14 * Morgan nods Jun 29 17:37:16 good Jun 29 17:37:39 I think it unnecessary, but he is my husband Jun 29 17:38:31 Better safe than sorry Jun 29 17:39:07 why are you so adamant? Molly says you command her little Jun 29 17:39:57 It is an unnecessary risk Jun 29 17:40:27 but not swimming, nor dancing? Jun 29 17:41:18 * Morgan nods Jun 29 17:41:30 Neither of which makes you six feet off the ground to start with Jun 29 17:42:09 * Mina nods Jun 29 17:42:18 you are very protective Jun 29 17:42:50 * Morgan nods Jun 29 17:42:51 I am Jun 29 17:43:37 it’s a very attractive trait in a man Jun 29 17:44:18 Is it? Jun 29 17:44:35 Very much so. And self-discipline. Jun 29 17:45:10 I thought it was just rolled up sleeves Jun 29 17:45:26 * Mina smiles Jun 29 17:45:44 It is not just the sleeves, but yes, that is extremely attractive Jun 29 17:46:16 * Morgan makes a huh noise Jun 29 17:47:03 Molly has told you this, I am sure Jun 29 17:47:29 Might have mentioned it... being tender with babies, too, I'm told Jun 29 17:50:02 yes, to a degree at least Jun 29 17:50:07 Oh? Jun 29 17:50:37 I found at first his tenderness with her difficult Jun 29 17:52:03 That is understandable... Molly first mentioned it while I was holding Emil, and then Thomas... Jun 29 17:53:30 * Mina nods “I know it is something of a priority for her, that you are a very tender and involved Father” Jun 29 17:54:29 * Morgan nods Jun 29 17:54:30 aye Jun 29 17:55:35 It is a priority for me that Edward can lead with good judgement Jun 29 17:56:16 You are doubting it? Jun 29 17:56:58 * Mina shakes her head Jun 29 17:57:02 No, I am not Jun 29 17:57:39 * Morgan nods Jun 29 17:57:40 Good Jun 29 17:58:31 Do you feel you are that sort of man? Jun 29 18:02:29 Thats... a difficult question to answer Jun 29 18:19:45 why is it? Jun 29 18:20:26 Because my judgement hasn't exactly always been stellar... Jun 29 18:20:51 but that is the man you aspire to be now? Jun 29 18:22:56 No but... what if my intentions are good, but misguided? Jun 29 18:37:07 I think you’ve learned from the past Jun 29 18:38:34 * Morgan shrugs Jun 29 18:38:35 Maybe Jun 29 18:40:05 Isn’t it difficult not to trust yourself when your family rely on you? Jun 29 18:40:27 * Morgan nods Jun 29 18:40:30 Intensely difficult Jun 29 18:41:26 * Mina nods Jun 29 18:41:57 Edward will always be willing to help you Jun 29 18:43:30 * Morgan nods Jun 29 18:43:31 I'm sure Jun 29 18:46:40 I think in time you’ll come to trust yourself, when you see your family grow strong and safe Jun 29 18:46:59 I hope so Jun 29 18:49:02 *they see a maid* Jun 29 18:49:55 * Morgan tries to catch her attention Jun 29 18:50:42 *she curtsies* Jun 29 18:51:28 Could you arrange food for the children please, and some drinks for the adults in the nursery Jun 29 18:52:09 Maid: Alcohol? Jun 29 18:52:53 No, tea and coffee please Jun 29 18:55:02 *the maid curtsies again and goes. Mina smiles at Morgan. For a brief moment, it’s with that informality that he’d seen in his Wolfblood dream, where she’s his wife, and they’re both young and naive about the pain coming for them* Jun 29 18:55:38 * Morgan hand her the letter Jun 29 18:57:07 * Mina takes it, putting it in her pocket Jun 29 18:58:03 Shall we go back? Jun 29 18:59:07 * Mina nods, taking his arm Jun 29 18:59:22 * Morgan starts moving back toward the nursery Jun 29 19:00:59 It is strange that Emil and Adalbrecht have birthdays a day apart Jun 29 19:02:08 We had to choose Emil's birthday... Zareen only knew what month it was Jun 29 19:03:18 * Mina smiles Jun 29 19:03:31 So you chose the day before your Fatherks birthday? Jun 29 19:04:13 Middle of the month Jun 29 19:04:34 * Mina nods Jun 29 19:04:45 it’ll be a nice end to our trip here Jun 29 19:06:07 * Morgan nods slowly Jun 29 19:06:11 I'm going to miss all of you Jun 29 19:06:58 * Mina nods Jun 29 19:07:11 It won’t be long until you see us again Jun 29 19:09:29 * Morgan nods Jun 29 19:09:31 I suppose not Jun 29 19:11:40 it will be difficult for Edward to say goodbye to his daughter Jun 29 19:11:48 *there’s a boom of thunder* Jun 29 19:12:10 * Morgan glances toward a window Jun 29 19:12:17 Yes it will, incredibly Jun 29 19:13:46 Will you also? Jun 29 19:14:23 * Morgan nods, moving a little quicker Jun 29 19:14:26 Yes, I will Jun 29 19:16:30 * Mina nods. They get back to the nursery. Florrie and Varick are stood by the window holding hands Jun 29 19:16:43 * Morgan lets out a breath gently Jun 29 19:19:09 *Molly is sat playing with Emil, but she’s watching him with a raised eyebrow* [is all well?] Jun 29 19:19:27 [Just worried about Varick with the thunder] Jun 29 19:21:59 [I’ll make him unable to hear if he needs it, but they’re okay for now] *there’s another rumble. Varick flinches, But Florrie says “It okay, just a noise, not hurt you” Jun 29 19:22:52 * Morgan watches him closely Jun 29 19:24:46 *He looks tense, but bearing up* Jun 29 19:25:14 * Morgan nods a little Jun 29 19:28:10 *the thunder continues whilst the maid sets up the snacks and drinks. Florrie abandons Varick to watch Mina pour, and he watches the sky warily alone Jun 29 19:28:46 * Morgan goes to sit by the window beside him Jun 29 19:31:41 *Varick hugs him* Jun 29 19:31:58 * Morgan cuddles him Jun 29 19:32:02 How you doing kid? Jun 29 19:32:32 *Varick sighs* I don’t like it Jun 29 19:33:06 I know... lots of people don't Jun 29 19:34:04 * Mina is now known as Varick Jun 29 19:34:06 why? Jun 29 19:34:38 Some people are just frightened of the loud noises Jun 29 19:36:11 Are you? Jun 29 19:36:30 No, but I'm scared of other things Jun 29 19:38:45 Like spiders, forests, and losing me and Mama? Jun 29 19:39:04 exactly Jun 29 19:40:14 *there’s a flash, and he holds tighter* Jun 29 19:40:28 Its alright, I've got you Jun 29 19:41:34 * Varick nods Jun 29 19:41:52 I was locked in the cupboard Jun 29 19:42:16 During a storm? Jun 29 19:43:02 * Varick nods Jun 29 19:43:53 * Morgan nods, stroking his hair Jun 29 19:43:59 I'm sorry that happened to you Jun 29 19:45:17 * Varick nods “I was scared” Jun 29 19:46:35 * Morgan nods Jun 29 19:46:38 Thats understandable Jun 29 19:48:12 * Varick flinches again at the boom Jun 29 19:49:35 Did you know Uinise had never seen a storm? Jun 29 19:50:19 not ever?! Jun 29 19:51:24 No... she thought the sky was angry Jun 29 19:51:52 * Varick smiles Jun 29 19:51:56 that’s funny Jun 29 19:52:27 * Morgan nods Jun 29 19:52:42 When she heard the thunder this time, she got excited because the lights might come again Jun 29 19:55:20 I wish it was just the lights Jun 29 19:57:12 * Morgan nods Jun 29 19:57:13 I know Jun 29 19:59:47 *the storm intensifies over the next half an hour, the rain pounding down. Varick stays close to Morgan* Jun 29 20:00:13 * Morgan stays in contact with him Jun 29 20:02:05 * Varick eventually goes to the food and joins in the card game going on, even though the thunder continues. Molly comes to bring Morgan some tea Jun 29 20:03:37 Thank you Jun 29 20:04:43 * Varick is now known as Molly Jun 29 20:05:14 * Molly leans her cheek to his arm, speaking quietly “our poor boy” Jun 29 20:05:25 * Morgan nods Jun 29 20:05:27 aye Jun 29 20:06:15 he’s so brave Jun 29 20:07:14 * Morgan nods Jun 29 20:07:16 He really is Jun 29 20:09:51 * Molly looks up Jun 29 20:09:58 he gets that from you Jun 29 20:10:39 No, thats all his Jun 29 20:11:35 you are a good role model Jun 29 20:12:40 I hope so Jun 29 20:13:44 I know so Jun 29 20:14:39 * Morgan nods a little Jun 29 20:16:03 *HH and Inga come in* Jun 29 20:17:45 HH: We still going tonight? Jun 29 20:18:26 * Morgan looks out the window Jun 29 20:18:32 [what do you think?] Jun 29 20:18:43 [I want to] Jun 29 20:19:40 probably Jun 29 20:21:42 *HH nods* Reck’n we’d better take the carriage so th’ ladies don’t get wet Jun 29 20:22:29 * Morgan nods Jun 29 20:22:30 Definitely Jun 29 20:23:32 Inga: Molly, can we talk to you a minute? Jun 29 20:23:53 * Molly nods, leaving Morgan’s side “of course” Jun 29 20:24:39 * Morgan watches them, face impassive Jun 29 20:26:07 *the three of them talk quietly in the corner* Jun 29 20:28:39 * Morgan watches them from the corner of his eye Jun 29 20:29:00 *they all seem happy and relaxed enough to imply nothing is wrong* Jun 29 20:36:27 * Morgan sips his tea Jun 29 20:37:23 * Molly comes to him a few minutes later Jun 29 20:37:33 My love, I’m going to examine Inga Jun 29 20:37:41 Right...

Jun 29 20:40:53 * Molly kisses his cheek. She smells nice, but is not close long enough to frustrate him, just enough to make him want more contact with her Jun 29 20:42:25 * Morgan sighs, sipping his tea Jun 29 20:42:53 * Molly and the others leaving the room Jun 29 20:47:59 * Morgan looks back to Varick Jun 29 20:48:48 *He’s playing cards with Edward* Jun 29 20:49:19 * Morgan nods a little to himself Jun 29 21:12:47 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
