**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jul 16 19:24:31 2025 Jul 16 19:24:31 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Jul 16 19:26:36 Good Jul 16 19:26:36 * Connie yawns, putting her head on his shoulder. She’s heavier than that sense of Jana had been, but the love that’s in this hug is strong too Jul 16 19:26:36 * Morgan rocks her Jul 16 19:26:36 Come on love, time to get you to sleep Jul 16 19:26:36 I go sleep, Gorgon Jul 16 19:26:40 * Morgan nods Jul 16 19:26:42 Aye, lets get you to bed Jul 16 19:26:44 * Connie nods. Molly smiles “Should I do the same? will you be coming back?” Jul 16 19:26:46 I'll be back in a few minutes Jul 16 19:26:48 * Connie is asleep before he gets to the nursery room where her brother, his son now, is already asleep in the bed they share Jul 16 19:26:49 * Morgan gently puts her into bed Jul 16 19:26:51 *Her brother puts a protective arm over her even in his sleep. These two little children who knew of the beatings inflicted on their mother by their father look so peaceful here under his roof and protection, safe from ever seeing him lay a cruel hand on their Mama Jul 16 19:26:55 * Morgan sighs quietly, going back to the bedroo Jul 16 19:29:25 * Molly is undressing for bed. Those awful scars Jaeger gave her remain, probably not dissimilar to his own back. The cleaning he’d received had been agony, but lasted only a few weeks. The thought of how she’d been birched every six weeks for months on end is a painful one when he loves her so much. Jul 16 19:33:38 * Morgan frowns Jul 16 19:34:44 * Molly seems to detect being watched because she turns suddenly. Though she’s not very far along, her fourth pregnancy is already shaping her belly Jul 16 19:34:52 Oh! that was quick! Jul 16 19:35:54 * Morgan nods Jul 16 19:35:57 She was straight out Jul 16 19:36:04 * Molly nods Jul 16 19:36:12 Are you for bed? Jul 16 19:37:05 * Morgan nods Jul 16 19:37:08 I think so, yes Jul 16 19:39:30 * Molly nods, getting in and giving him time to prepare Jul 16 19:40:05 * Morgan gets ready for bed Jul 16 19:41:10 * Molly is waiting for him when he gets in, opening her arms Jul 16 19:41:38 * Morgan moves into her arms Jul 16 19:42:36 how was your night? Jul 16 19:44:01 Difficult sadly Jul 16 19:47:58 * Molly strokes his arm “you can tell me, I am here for you” Jul 16 19:48:15 Its... not natural Jul 16 19:49:21 Nor is what Connie could do, or her father Jul 16 19:50:13 * Morgan nods Jul 16 19:50:24 One of the guests can see and hear the dead... Jul 16 19:51:45 * Molly nods, still touching him Jul 16 19:54:20 Dietlinde and Jana had no passed over Jul 16 19:54:51 Oh, I am sorry Jul 16 19:56:26 * Morgan nods Jul 16 19:56:29 They have now Jul 16 19:58:17 * Molly nods, searching his expression Jul 16 20:00:08 * Morgan looks troubled Jul 16 20:00:43 Talk to me. What are you feeling? Jul 16 20:01:47 I don't know Jul 16 20:02:33 * Molly watches him compassionately Jul 16 20:04:57 They are at peace now Jul 16 20:05:20 Yes, they are. And that is good, but also like a fresh loss? Jul 16 20:06:58 * Morgan nods Jul 16 20:07:01 Yes, it is Jul 16 20:09:19 * Molly moves her hand to his cheek “It’s alright to be relieved for them and upset for yourself at the same time” Jul 16 20:09:46 * Morgan nods a little Jul 16 20:11:13 * Molly nods sadly “You can be upset to me, love. I am strong enough for it” Jul 16 20:12:03 I'm just... I don't know what to feel.. or how... Jul 16 20:13:43 * Molly nods Jul 16 20:14:18 It will come, in time. Even now, my feelings about my former marriage can confuse me Jul 16 20:16:27 * Morgan nods Jul 16 20:18:06 * Molly gently kisses him Jul 16 20:19:33 It will get easier... Jul 16 20:20:43 I hope so Jul 16 20:21:18 *She smells nice, something he’s started to notice the last day or two, in the same when that Dietlinde had when increasing. Recalling the frequency of his interest then, often triggered by scent, it seems he may have the same problem again. She says “I believe it will” Jul 16 20:22:15 * Morgan nods Jul 16 20:22:17 Time will tell Jul 16 20:24:57 * Molly nods “Did you wish to sleep now, or...?” Jul 16 20:25:53 I think it'd be best if I tried to sleep Jul 16 20:26:57 * Molly nods sadly “Another night then?” Jul 16 20:27:47 * Morgan nods Jul 16 20:27:48 Yes love Jul 16 20:29:16 * Molly nods, slipping out of the bed “I’ll be back shortly” Jul 16 20:29:42 * Morgan frowns Jul 16 20:29:47 Where are you going? Jul 16 20:30:23 To the bathroom... I umm... I warned you how I am whilst increasing... Jul 16 20:30:47 I'll get out of your way, you can stay in bed Jul 16 20:30:55 * Morgan gets back up Jul 16 20:31:19 I don’t want to send you from your bed, love, not when you’re tired and upset Jul 16 20:31:45 It doesn't matter Jul 16 20:32:21 * Molly looks at him, decides he isn’t going to give in, and so gets back in to bed Jul 16 20:33:01 * Morgan pulls some clothes on Jul 16 20:33:05 I'll come back in a while Jul 16 20:33:58 * Molly nods Jul 16 20:34:08 I won’t need more than a few minutes Jul 16 20:35:00 * Morgan nods, quietly letting himself out Jul 16 20:36:53 *it’s quiet in the hall. For all the turmoil in his mind, there’s still a more cheering thought, that there is a beautiful, pregnant woman actively pleasuring herself from desire for him* Jul 16 20:37:05 * Morgan quietly walks the halls Jul 16 20:37:26 *A few minutes passes, then a few more* Jul 16 20:39:33 * Morgan goes back after quarter of an hour Jul 16 20:39:58 * Molly seems to be asleep Jul 16 20:41:49 * Morgan gets undressed, getting into bed quietly Jul 16 20:44:06 *the bed smells of her, of her warmth and arousal. This is definitely going to be a problem again for him in the months ahead, but from what she’s said and what she’s just done, it seems like it’s going to be a mutual problem! Jul 16 20:44:34 * Morgan sighs, settling to try to sleep Jul 16 20:46:21 *he manages it, waking suddenly in reality due to Molly pulling at his fingers. She sounds to be fully asleep when she murmurs “Let go!” Jul 16 20:46:43 * Morgan frowns, looking down Jul 16 20:47:36 *their only contact is his closed fists being pulled at by her fingers* Morgan! let go! Jul 16 20:48:30 * Morgan opens his hand Jul 16 20:49:58 *she still pulls at his hands* please! you’re going to pull us all in! Jul 16 20:50:42 * Morgan moves a little, breaking the contact before shaking her shoulder Jul 16 20:50:43 Molly... Jul 16 20:52:21 * Molly jolts awake suddenly Jul 16 20:53:08 Hey now, you're alright... Jul 16 20:54:40 * Molly draws a deep breath Jul 16 20:54:44 just a nightmare Jul 16 20:55:04 Tell me Jul 16 20:58:26 we were somewhere dark, there was a big hole in the floor. A rope extended over it, you were desperately trying to pull what was on the other side to you. But you were losing ground, and the children and I, Edward, the others... we were all tied onto the rope, and if you didn’t let go, you’d get us all pulled in to the pit with you Jul 16 20:59:25 * Morgan frowns Jul 16 21:00:03 What was on the other side? Jul 16 21:00:17 I don’t know Jul 16 21:02:02 I don't.... I don't understand how my letting go would help if you were tied to the rope... Jul 16 21:03:27 It was only pulling back because you were pulling, I think Jul 16 21:05:02 * Morgan scowls Jul 16 21:05:28 I am sorry I woke you Jul 16 21:06:28 Its fine Jul 16 21:07:20 it’s still early, I think Jul 16 21:07:53 * Morgan tries to get an idea for the time Jul 16 21:08:25 *it’s only half before two* Jul 16 21:09:18 Aye, it is Jul 16 21:09:35 * Molly cuddles up Jul 16 21:09:53 Shall we sleep again...? Jul 16 21:11:00 Best had I suppose Jul 16 21:13:03 * Molly nods “goodnight then, my love” Jul 16 21:13:29 Goodnight blossom Jul 16 21:15:41 * Molly quickly sounds sleepy again “Dream of me, hmm? Something nice, please” Jul 16 21:15:56 * Morgan nods a little, trying to settle Jul 16 21:17:24 *with the warmth of her, that lovely pregnant scent, the now-familiar feel of her bump against him, he’s rapidly asleep once more* Jul 16 21:30:40 Molly> *he dreams further in that thread. He’d dreamt of him and Molly on a ship, travelling to an unfamiliar land. They’d been lying on a sunlit bed, both spent after he’d taken rear, as she’d mentioned Jaeger having wanted but she’d refused Jul 16 21:30:44 But in the dream within the dream, she hadn’t married Jaeger, he’d taken her away to Carleon after he’d saved her life from a pool accident and kissed her. When he wakes within the dream, it’s like he’s had a glimpse into an alternate life, where he is much more healed, a younger Varick adopted by him and Molly who had married years before she had Connie and Will. Jul 16 21:33:08 *he wakes beside his fiancee, who he hadn’t saved from Jaeger’s cruelty like in his dream. She’s turned so the early light reveals all those scars, and the bed still smells faintly of her arousal from last night’s self-pleasure* Jul 16 21:34:22 * Morgan yawns, trying to get an idea for the time Jul 16 21:34:50 *It’s about two hours before dawn* Jul 16 21:35:14 * Morgan climbs out of bed, getting dressed Jul 16 21:36:08 *she does not even stir* Jul 16 21:37:03 * Morgan quietly leaves the room, going to the kitchens to get coffee Jul 16 21:37:39 *he hears quiet laughter in one corridor, a woman and a man* Jul 16 21:39:04 * Morgan frowns, moving that way Jul 16 21:39:17 *it sounds like Karsten* Jul 16 21:40:31 * Morgan creeps to get closer Jul 16 21:40:55 *he’s kissing the neck of one of the maids* Jul 16 21:41:08 * Morgan moves into view Jul 16 21:41:17 You can return to work now Jul 16 21:42:22 *the maid scurries off. Karsten looks him over* Jul 16 21:42:27 * Molly is now known as Karsten Jul 16 21:42:54 If I had a wife like yours, I wouldn’t be out of bed this early. Jul 16 21:43:07 Ah... but you don't. Jul 16 21:43:45 Not yet. It’s customary to wait until an heir and a spare have been produced... Jul 16 21:44:48 * Morgan watches him levelly Jul 16 21:45:01 It must be upsetting, encountering someone not in the least intimidated by you Jul 16 21:45:35 * Karsten laughs “No, I’ve met many such fools” Jul 16 21:46:21 Think what you like, your opinion matters little Jul 16 21:47:23 Sudlachenburg needs Gottkirchen as an ally. Don’t go ruining your homeland’s reputation because you’re Cuntstruck, again. Jul 16 21:48:19 * Morgan laughs hard Jul 16 21:48:28 Oh dear lord, you're an idiot. Jul 16 21:52:00 * Karsten has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
