Jul 26 15:19:28 * Morgan looks out toward the water Jul 26 15:19:35 Was it less his forge when you were working it? Jul 26 15:22:19 Wasn’t doing much more than tinkerin’ though, she’s gonna be runnin’ it for makin’ money Jul 26 15:23:13 * Morgan glances at him Jul 26 15:23:36 Is she... or is she going to be doing the little things that help people, like he did? Jul 26 15:24:39 * HH shrugs Jul 26 15:24:52 pretty sure it’s the first. There’s more folks here now Jul 26 15:26:50 * Morgan rummages in his pocket before handing HeinzHarold a cloak clip Jul 26 15:27:17 * HH takes it, looking it over Jul 26 15:31:33 I got that in Tannen... managed to break the pin, and took it to Da, asking for a new one... charged me a few marks to mend this one instead... Jul 26 15:32:02 * HH nods Jul 26 15:32:12 Yeah, he was good like tha’ Jul 26 15:32:41 Mmhmm... could've charged me more to make a new one which would've been easier... Jul 26 15:35:10 * HH nods “yeah... but he was ‘onest, top to toe” Jul 26 15:36:52 I think you're missing the point... it wasn't about making the money... it was about the fixing... Jul 26 15:39:12 * HH nods Jul 26 15:39:21 yeah Jul 26 15:39:49 I reckon that's what you Ma will be doing... Jul 26 15:43:09 Maybe...

Jul 26 15:53:25 * HH frowns Jul 26 15:53:48 come on, man, that’s a low blow Jul 26 15:54:25 It really isn't... because thats what you need to be asking yourself, isn't it... Jul 26 15:57:37 I don’t want her to be miserable, man, but it’s like I’m watchin’ his space left in our lives getting filled up Jul 26 15:59:28 * Morgan sighs Jul 26 15:59:44 How often do you think about him? Jul 26 16:00:20 Every day Jul 26 16:01:07 And how will your Ma running the forge for little things change that? Jul 26 16:01:58 it won’t Jul 26 16:04:03 So is the space he left in our lives really getting filled? I'm walking -miles- for a tradition for -him- from his family... hell, your sister barely even remembers him but the smell that calms her most is of him...

She looks to be hiding, keeping a lookout around the tree Jul 26 21:30:04 * Morgan slows, watching her Jul 26 21:34:20 * HH is now known as Molly Jul 26 21:34:43 * Molly is stood very still, clearly not noticing his approach Jul 26 21:35:10 * Morgan moves silently until he's stood almost beside her Jul 26 21:36:13 * Molly still doesn’t notice Jul 26 21:37:28 * Morgan clears his throat Jul 26 21:38:50 * Molly jumps, then turns Jul 26 21:38:53 my love! Jul 26 21:39:16 * Morgan smiles a little Jul 26 21:40:40 Sorry Jul 26 21:42:05 * Molly smiles Jul 26 21:42:41 Didn’t anyone teach you not to sneak up on unsuspecting young ladies in the woods, hmm? *she looks relaxed and playful* Jul 26 21:42:57 * Morgan looks to think Jul 26 21:43:56 Poems, swordplay, maths, history, sailing... no, not sneaking up on unsuspecting young ladies wasn't on my lesson schedule Jul 26 21:45:42 * Molly smiles “A young woman might suspect the intentions of a gentleman coming close to her somewhere so unwatched!” Jul 26 21:46:41 * Morgan nods Jul 26 21:46:42 Reasonable Jul 26 21:49:40 * Molly nods, smiling “but I needn’t worry about my virtue with you, hmm?” Jul 26 21:49:58 Simply because we're married Jul 26 21:51:11 Not that you wouldn’t want to steal a kiss then? Jul 26 21:51:28 Not at all Jul 26 21:52:33 * Molly nods “best take your opportunity before the children happen upon us?” Jul 26 21:54:27 * Morgan nods, kissing her firmly Jul 26 21:55:38 * Molly kisses him back, keeping her hands to herself for a change Jul 26 21:57:36 * Morgan pulls away after a few moments Jul 26 21:57:40 Where are the boys?

Jul 26 22:01:41 * Morgan shrugs Jul 26 22:01:43 A little perhaps Jul 26 22:02:52 * Molly looks undecided a moment, and then says “shall we find the boys?” Jul 26 22:03:54 What is it? Jul 26 22:05:34 I do not wish to be more playful than you would enjoy, that’s all Jul 26 22:07:22 * Morgan sighs, nodding Jul 26 22:08:02 So, the boys... Jul 26 22:09:51 * Morgan nods, looking toward the summer house Jul 26 22:11:20 * Molly turns from him to move that way Jul 26 22:11:48 * Morgan takes her hand, walking in that direction Jul 26 22:14:30 * Molly holds on to it. The boys are trying to sneak up on each other around the house, obviously less interested in playing with Molly than each other Jul 26 22:15:31 * Morgan watches them Jul 26 22:16:34 *they’re playing happily, like he and Edward used to here* Jul 26 22:17:41 * Morgan smiles a little Jul 26 22:17:57 Edward and I used to play here Jul 26 22:18:13 * Molly smiles Jul 26 22:18:42 That’s sweet.

Jul 26 22:24:25 Could play a bit of hide and seek... Jul 26 22:25:28 *Varick nods, and Jacques joins them* Jul 26 22:25:34 V: No cheating though! Jul 26 22:25:38 Cheating? Jul 26 22:26:23 V: no magic Jul 26 22:27:04 Not something I can do... Jul 26 22:27:29 V: you can find me if you see if there’s hot things around Jul 26 22:28:00 Ah, you make a good point... alright Jul 26 22:28:32 V: Mama can look for us with hers if anyone hides too well Jul 26 22:29:11 * Morgan nods Jul 26 22:29:12 aye Jul 26 22:30:29 * Molly finds a chair, bringing it into a warm sunny patch Jul 26 22:30:39 V: Do you want to hide, or seek? Jul 26 22:31:05 I'll hide... Jul 26 22:32:12 *Jacques ends up being seeker after Rock Paper Scissors, and Varick runs into the trees to hide Jul 26 22:32:52 * Morgan moves off into the trees, finding somewhere discreet before standing utterly still Jul 26 22:33:38 [I could easily win if I borrowed Hirschen’s magic] Jul 26 22:34:10 [I know] Jul 26 22:34:55 *his spot is so good that within ten minutes a squirrel scampers over his foot* Jul 26 22:35:26 * Morgan doesn't move Jul 26 22:40:00 *Another ten minutes pass. It’s very relaxing, like meditation, and his thoughts have quickly quieted so he is just present in the moment, the leaves gently rustling, wildflowers blooming at their bases* Jul 26 22:41:09 * Morgan smiles slightly, just standing there Jul 26 22:41:56 *Jacques walks right by him, not seeing him* Jul 26 22:42:29 * Morgan smiles, quietly moving to follow him Jul 26 22:42:55 *He finds Varick up a tree* Jul 26 22:43:55 * Morgan watches them Jul 26 22:45:59 *Varick climbs back down with ease* Jul 26 22:49:19 * Morgan smiles Jul 26 22:49:47 J: I can’t find Morgan Jul 26 22:50:05 V: he’s good. Do you want me to be on your team now? Jul 26 22:50:13 *Jacques nods* Jul 26 22:50:21 Isn't that cheating? Jul 26 22:51:09 *they both jump, crying out with surprise* Jul 26 22:52:03 * Morgan chuckles Jul 26 22:57:21 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
