Jul 30 19:19:14 If my wife had just delivered twins, she would not be there. Jul 30 19:19:14 * Morgan shrugs Jul 30 19:19:14 how do you plan to handle it? Jul 30 19:19:14 I'll let you know once I figure it out Jul 30 19:19:17 * Edward chuckles Jul 30 19:19:19 Very well Jul 30 19:19:23 I might go and see Otto... Jul 30 19:19:25 * Edward nods “I can carry a message to your wife...” Jul 30 19:19:27 No, I'll see her before I go Jul 30 19:19:29 * Edward nods, standing up smoothly “I am going to spend time with Florrie” Jul 30 19:19:31 Is she awake already? Jul 30 19:19:33 I have no idea, but it will be their tea time soon Jul 30 19:19:35 * Morgan nods, standing up Jul 30 19:19:37 I'll see you later Jul 30 19:19:39 * Edward inclines his head before going towards the Veisgraf Wing Jul 30 19:22:34 * Morgan stretches before looking around Jul 30 19:22:43 [I need to see Otto about the memorial] Jul 30 19:23:07 [oh, is something amiss?] Jul 30 19:23:40 [Edward wants to take Florrie] Jul 30 19:24:41 [But you need to know if Otto is coming?] Jul 30 19:25:18 [realistically, yes] Jul 30 19:27:21 [are you going now?] Jul 30 19:28:29 [I was going to, yes] Jul 30 19:29:04 [I’ll see you later then, my love] Jul 30 19:29:21 [alright blossom] Jul 30 19:29:26 * Morgan sets off toward the village Jul 30 19:32:37 *he hears nothing from her, and makes it to their house with a few hellos to the village folk. It’s quieting off everywhere are people have gone home to prepare their evening meals and children are being put to bed Jul 30 19:33:54 * Morgan knocks quietly Jul 30 19:35:47 *Otto answers the door, the little baby Lina Molly on his shoulder. He looks surprised “Morgan, good afternoon” Jul 30 19:36:29 Otto, sorry to disturb you Jul 30 19:37:10 * Molly is now known as Otto Jul 30 19:37:16 Not at all. Coffee? Jul 30 19:37:56 * Morgan smiles Jul 30 19:37:57 please Jul 30 19:38:45 * Otto lets him in Jul 30 19:39:35 * Morgan looks around Jul 30 19:40:42 *Sascha is sat in the chair with their son Fritz Otto* Jul 30 19:40:53 Sascha... Jul 30 19:42:54 S: *she smiles* We weren’t expecting you Jul 30 19:43:21 I don't wish to intrude... Jul 30 19:44:16 S: It’s no intrusion Jul 30 19:44:28 * Otto offers him a seat Jul 30 19:45:09 * Morgan sits down carefully Jul 30 19:45:12 How are you all? Jul 30 19:46:17 S: *she smiles* So tired! Jul 30 19:46:40 * Otto hands the baby to him “I’ll make the coffee” Jul 30 19:48:07 * Morgan nods, rocking the baby Jul 30 19:48:15 Aye, its exhausting Jul 30 19:51:04 *At three days old, the little dark-haired baby is all scrunched up, fast asleep* Jul 30 19:51:21 S: I think you appreciate it more though Jul 30 19:51:35 * Morgan nods Jul 30 19:51:38 I would imagine so, yes Jul 30 19:53:52 S: It’s not many months til you’re in this position Jul 30 19:54:07 No, it really isn't Jul 30 19:55:21 S: How are you feeling about it? Jul 30 19:58:04 Anxious I think Jul 30 20:00:55 S: *she gently pats the baby* I’d be surprised if you weren’t Jul 30 20:03:07 * Morgan nods Jul 30 20:03:13 My heads full of what ifs, you know? Jul 30 20:04:33 S: *she sets the chair he made them to rocking* like what? Jul 30 20:05:15 What if I cant protect them... or anyone... what if I really don't deserve a second chance... Jul 30 20:08:08 S: *she nods* I’d worry about that too, but I think you’re wrong, and I know Dietlinde would think you’re wrong Jul 30 20:10:12 * Morgan nods, gently stroking the baby's head Jul 30 20:12:53 Aye, she would... Jul 30 20:13:02 *her hair is soft, her nails are tiny. Otto puts his coffee on the table beside him* Jul 30 20:13:33 She’d have wanted us all to have a second chance, and it seems like we’ve all gotten one Jul 30 20:14:19 * Morgan nods Jul 30 20:14:25 It does... Jul 30 20:17:09 *Sascha smiles* We’re all very lucky Theus smiles on us Jul 30 20:18:18 * Morgan nods Jul 30 20:20:08 * Otto nods “what brings you tonight?” Jul 30 20:20:44 I wanted to talk to you about the memorial being unveiled... father intends it to be tomorrow after church... Jul 30 20:22:36 *They both nod* Jul 30 20:22:58 Are you planning to attend? Jul 30 20:23:49 *Sascha shakes her head* I won’t be out for a while yet Jul 30 20:24:05 I might go, I think she’d want that Jul 30 20:25:13 * Morgan nods slowly Jul 30 20:25:23 Edward wishes to attend... with his daughter... Jul 30 20:26:34 And you want me to stay home Jul 30 20:27:14 No... I wish you to be there, but I wish them to be there as well... Jul 30 20:28:41 * Otto nods. Sascha watches him Jul 30 20:30:08 * Morgan sighs quietly, looking at the baby Jul 30 20:31:07 *she opens her eyes* Jul 30 20:31:19 I think I will go Jul 30 20:31:50 * Morgan nods, watching the child Jul 30 20:32:20 I'd say to prepare yourself but... Jul 30 20:33:04 * Otto nods Jul 30 20:33:21 It will be difficult, I know Jul 30 20:33:43 * Morgan nods Jul 30 20:33:44 Oh yeah Jul 30 20:35:32 *Sascha looks to him* Are you sure you want to see the girl? Jul 30 20:36:27 I am sure that Dietlinde would expect me to be man enough not to avoid something I want to be at to honour my granddaughter because another child looks like her Jul 30 20:39:27 * Morgan looks up at them Jul 30 20:39:53 *sascha looks unsure, but Otto looks decided* Jul 30 20:40:06 I don't wish there to be conflict between you Jul 30 20:41:49 * Otto shakes his head “There won’t be. It won’t be the only time his daughter comes to Sudlachenburg, will it?” Jul 30 20:42:25 I was actually referring to you and Sascha... Jul 30 20:43:37 So was I Jul 30 20:43:51 * Morgan smiles a little, nodding Jul 30 20:44:02 And no, it won't be the only time she comes here Jul 30 20:45:52 then at some point it must be faced Jul 30 20:46:32 * Morgan nods Jul 30 20:46:34 I'm afraid so Jul 30 20:47:38 * Otto nods Jul 30 20:47:44 I will be there Jul 30 20:48:39 * Morgan nods, stroking the baby's fingers Jul 30 20:49:38 She's so adorable Jul 30 20:49:54 *both parents smile* Jul 30 20:50:10 She’s a very peaceful baby so far Jul 30 20:50:23 * Morgan chuckles Jul 30 20:50:27 Don't count on that lasting Jul 30 20:51:56 Sascha: It did with Dietlinde Jul 30 20:53:17 * Morgan nods Jul 30 20:53:45 It did with Jana, apart from the time she was sick... Emil sleeps fairly soundly most of the time Jul 30 20:54:48 Sascha nods sadly: She was such a sweet baby Jul 30 20:56:13 * Morgan nods Jul 30 20:56:16 Aye, she was Jul 30 20:56:59 Sascha: I wish she could have seen these two Jul 30 20:57:28 * Morgan nods Jul 30 20:58:09 They'll be looking down from paradise on them Jul 30 20:59:02 *Otto nods, but Sascha starts to cry* Jul 30 20:59:36 * Morgan looks upset, reaching a hand out to her Jul 30 21:00:20 *She takes it* S: I’m sorry, I’m very emotional today Jul 30 21:00:51 * Morgan nods, squeezing her hand Jul 30 21:00:54 That happens Jul 30 21:02:12 *Sascha nods* Jul 30 21:17:59 I remember Dietlinde being weepy in the days after the birth Jul 30 21:18:12 * Morgan nods Jul 30 21:18:17 Absolutely... Jul 30 21:19:51 *Sascha squeezes his hand back * how are your family? Jul 30 21:20:50 They're alright... none of us are looking forward to parting ways Jul 30 21:23:22 * Otto nods “your homes are scattered” Jul 30 21:23:33 * Morgan nods Jul 30 21:23:50 Got our hands guiding large chunks of Eisen, and some Avalon too Jul 30 21:24:21 Sascha: That sounds like hard work Jul 30 21:25:34 * Morgan nods Jul 30 21:25:51 It is... Jul 30 21:27:59 S: how are your children? Jul 30 21:28:47 Thriving... Emil's so mobile and vocal now, and Varick... he's growing so fast Jul 30 21:30:22 *she smiles* I’m glad Jul 30 21:31:16 * Morgan nods, smiling a little Jul 30 21:31:24 He's had such a hard start to his life... Jul 30 21:32:27 he seems to be doing well Jul 30 21:33:16 * Morgan nods Jul 30 21:33:29 Surprisingly so really... he's helped me a surprising amount Jul 30 21:34:14 S: they give you something to be better for Jul 30 21:35:42 * Morgan nods Jul 30 21:35:58 Rickon reminds me of HeinzHarold... Jul 30 21:36:40 *they both smile* Jul 30 21:36:58 he’s a lively lad Jul 30 21:37:45 * Morgan nods Jul 30 21:37:51 Very clever and funny too Jul 30 21:39:54 * Otto nods “How has it been having Jacques?” Jul 30 21:40:53 He's a good lad... think he needs a bit more time to realise he's Varicks friend rather than one of our staff... Jul 30 21:42:01 * Otto nods “that’ll take time” Jul 30 21:42:50 * Morgan nods Jul 30 21:42:52 Without doubt Jul 30 21:44:16 S: he’s going to live at your new house isn’t he? Jul 30 21:45:12 He's going to live in the cottage with Elsie, James, Theresa and his father Jul 30 21:45:45 S: you’ll be very busy Jul 30 21:46:46 * Morgan smiles a little Jul 30 21:46:51 I'm pretty much always busy Jul 30 21:47:51 * Otto nods “you were never good at idling” Jul 30 21:48:09 * Morgan chuckles Jul 30 21:48:11 You're not wrong Jul 30 21:50:02 S: when do you go home? Jul 30 21:50:36 Monday Jul 30 21:50:59 S: Not very long then Jul 30 21:51:54 No, sadly not... though it won't be -too- long before we come back Jul 30 21:53:33 S: will you be back before the baby comes? Jul 30 21:54:47 That is very much the plan... all being as we hope, the baby will be born here Jul 30 21:56:20 That’s where they should, especially for a boy Jul 30 21:56:48 * Morgan nods Jul 30 21:57:10 Going to be tough, long term... I cant neglect Gottkirchen in that respect Jul 30 21:58:19 * Otto nods Jul 30 21:58:35 The next might be born there instead? Jul 30 21:59:13 I don't know really... its something we need to consider Jul 30 22:00:22 * Otto nods Jul 30 22:00:58 S: you’ll have a few years to decide Jul 30 22:56:56 * Otto has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
