Aug 09 20:29:12 * Molly is now known as Edward Aug 09 20:29:40 In general. It cannot be easy to be so scarred when you cannot keep it covered Aug 09 20:30:07 * Morgan nods Aug 09 20:31:17 It helped a little when I made it clear I would brook no nonsense toward any of them Aug 09 20:32:22 * Edward nods Aug 09 20:32:57 I am glad they will be working for you, my friends and I all have a soft spot for them Aug 09 20:33:56 * Morgan nods Aug 09 20:34:05 Wasn't really my choice, but they are wonderful Aug 09 20:35:43 * Edward nods Aug 09 20:36:08 Arendt is very capable, she’ll be a solid housekeeper, and Molly likes her Aug 09 20:36:55 I like her...

Aug 09 21:47:56 * Adalbrecht take him to the mirror so he can see himself getting his hair combed.
