**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Aug 22 17:07:27 2025 Aug 22 17:07:27 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Aug 22 17:57:12 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Aug 22 17:58:15 Inga would be worried... Mina... well, I think she’d be surprised to think of you doing that at all! Aug 22 17:58:15 * Morgan nods Aug 22 17:58:15 I'd imagine so, yes Aug 22 17:58:15 * Molly nods Aug 22 17:58:15 I don’t think it’s anything to worry about. Everyone has odd nightmares now and then Aug 22 17:58:17 * Morgan nods Aug 22 17:58:19 I imagine its just a result of our conflict Aug 22 17:58:21 * Molly nods Aug 22 17:58:23 I think so too Aug 22 17:58:25 * Molly gets off the bed, coming to the food Aug 22 17:58:27 I’d prefer not to have that again Aug 22 17:58:29 quite Aug 22 17:58:31 * Molly sighs Aug 22 17:58:33 it shouldn’t have felt so bad when compared to other things I’ve dreamt, but... Aug 22 17:58:35 But it did Aug 22 17:58:39 * Molly nods Aug 22 18:04:06 yes, it did... Aug 22 18:04:16 * Morgan nods Aug 22 18:06:56 * Molly sighs Aug 22 18:07:36 Still, it didn’t happen, it doesn’t matter *she starts to eat* Aug 22 18:13:47 * Morgan watches her for a moment before nodding a little Aug 22 18:14:17 what, my love? Aug 22 18:16:44 Just thinking that it does matter... Aug 22 18:17:20 why? Aug 22 18:17:29 Because you are still finding it troubling Aug 22 18:18:29 it was just unsettling Aug 22 18:29:13 * Morgan nods Aug 22 18:29:16 alright Aug 22 18:31:23 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Aug 22 18:34:29 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Aug 22 18:37:30 alright Aug 22 18:37:45 * Molly nods, eating Aug 22 18:38:38 * Morgan starts eating Aug 22 18:40:05 what would you like to do for Quiet Hour? I suspect everyone will be busy... Aug 22 18:40:59 I suspect you're correct Aug 22 18:43:06 * Molly smiles “Good for them, I think. Though I doubt Ma will give Heinzharold and Inga any peace” Aug 22 18:43:47 No, I suspect she'll want to make use of the time remaining before he leaves Aug 22 18:44:56 * Molly smiles “Putting him to work, I’d bet Aug 22 18:45:02 * Morgan nods Aug 22 18:45:06 Aye I expect so Aug 22 18:46:16 If you wished to just spend some time here on the grounds you can though Aug 22 18:46:32 I might... I'm not sure yet Aug 22 18:48:36 * Molly nods, sipping her coffee Aug 22 18:50:41 I don’t mind, I know you’ll miss it Aug 22 18:51:14 * Morgan nods Aug 22 18:51:17 I will, aye Aug 22 18:52:00 * Molly nods Aug 22 18:52:21 But in two days time, you’ll be in our lake... Aug 22 18:52:40 * Morgan nods Aug 22 18:52:48 Aye, I would imagine I will be Aug 22 18:55:08 * Molly smiles “That’ll be nice” Aug 22 18:55:27 * Morgan nods Aug 22 18:55:39 I'm looking forward to it... for half a second I contemplated swimming here... Aug 22 18:58:44 * Molly nods Aug 22 18:59:01 Maybe I’ll join you when we get home Aug 22 18:59:30 * Morgan nods Aug 22 18:59:32 That'd be nice Aug 22 19:00:51 * Molly glances at him Aug 22 19:01:08 It’d take a while to find my swimming things though... Aug 22 19:02:03 Would it? Aug 22 19:02:41 * Molly nods Aug 22 19:02:57 Sadly so... The only way for me to join you would be nude... Aug 22 19:03:49 Oh thats a shame isn't it Aug 22 19:05:14 * Molly nods Aug 22 19:05:24 That would ruin your swimming Aug 22 19:05:46 It'd make it more difficult, certainly Aug 22 19:07:30 * Molly nods “Floating on your back in particular, hmm?” Aug 22 19:09:52 Indeed Aug 22 19:11:22 * Molly smiles “A pity that everyone else will also want to swim” Aug 22 19:12:36 * Morgan nods Aug 22 19:12:40 Aye, sadly Aug 22 19:14:28 We’ll have to figure something out Aug 22 19:15:00 * Morgan nods Aug 22 19:15:05 I'm sure we'll manage somehow Aug 22 19:15:26 our garden should be ready Aug 22 19:17:55 Aye, hopefully Aug 22 19:20:08 I look forward to it. Will you take them to Freiburg, or will your Father do so? Aug 22 19:20:26 I think my father is planning to Aug 22 19:21:34 * Molly nods Aug 22 19:21:41 I’d miss you Aug 22 19:22:05 I know love Aug 22 19:23:44 but if you feel the need to... Aug 22 19:24:04 * Morgan shrugs Aug 22 19:24:16 Initially we'd planned for me to take them back to the island Aug 22 19:25:33 * Molly nods Aug 22 19:25:56 And if you wish to, I will hold down the fort, of course Aug 22 19:27:22 Part of me wishes to... bit of sailing... Aug 22 19:28:08 * Molly nods Aug 22 19:28:32 that would be nice Aug 22 19:28:43 * Morgan nods Aug 22 19:28:44 aye Aug 22 19:31:04 My only concern is the proximity to the wedding Aug 22 19:31:13 * Morgan nods Aug 22 19:35:25 * Molly gets up, making notes on a piece of paper Aug 22 19:35:35 Whats that? Aug 22 19:36:01 Providing you did not delay anywhere overmuch, you could be back by June First Aug 22 19:36:39 *They will have to set off for the wedding on the third at the latest* Aug 22 19:37:26 That'd be cutting it fine Aug 22 19:38:13 it would... Aug 22 19:40:04 * Morgan frowns a little Aug 22 19:41:59 but it is your choice, my love Aug 22 19:44:49 Well... not really... Aug 22 19:47:03 * Molly smiles faintly “There’s always a choice...” Aug 22 19:48:26 * Morgan shrugs a little Aug 22 19:49:57 You could go afterwards, my love. You have ships aplenty Aug 22 19:50:27 Aye, maybe Aug 22 19:56:12 you could go to collect them in July Aug 22 19:57:03 Its... an option I suppose Aug 22 19:59:07 it must be frustrating to be limited so much Aug 22 20:02:59 I suppose so Aug 22 20:03:57 something else is bothering you? Aug 22 20:05:48 I don't know... I'm not keen on everything changing Aug 22 20:05:55 * Molly nods Aug 22 20:06:26 I can understand that Aug 22 20:09:23 * Morgan nods Aug 22 20:09:43 I don't have to like it... I just have to accept it Aug 22 20:10:12 as with much in life, I suppose Aug 22 20:10:19 * Morgan nods Aug 22 20:10:21 aye Aug 22 20:12:35 * Molly nods, eating her lunch. Soon the clock ticks over to Quiet Hour Aug 22 20:14:54 Well, my love, I think I’m going to rest and read a while Aug 22 20:15:24 * Morgan nods Aug 22 20:15:26 Alright love Aug 22 20:17:24 Unless you need me? Aug 22 20:18:23 I'll be alright Aug 22 20:20:01 I won’t leave you frustrated. Aug 22 20:20:28 I know love Aug 22 20:22:29 * Molly watches him a moment before nodding “I’ll see you in a while? Would you have your sense of smell restored?” Aug 22 20:22:39 Better had actually Aug 22 20:26:18 * Molly moves to the other side of the room before his neck prickles and he can smell things again Aug 22 20:28:28 is that better? Aug 22 20:28:53 * Morgan nods Aug 22 20:28:56 Yes thank you Aug 22 20:30:27 * Molly nods, smoothing down her dress Aug 22 20:30:35 when you come back, I can do it again Aug 22 20:30:53 * Morgan nods Aug 22 20:30:55 We'll see Aug 22 20:33:35 * Molly blows him a kiss “Enjoy your quiet hour” Aug 22 20:35:13 * Morgan nods, quietly leaving the room and heading outside Aug 22 20:35:47 *It’s lovely and warm out here, and completely peaceful * Aug 22 20:37:18 * Morgan goes to sit as close to the water as he can get without actually touching it Aug 22 20:39:47 *It’s such a shame that it’s so dangerous, because it looks so gentle and so cool... Aug 22 20:41:13 * Morgan sighs, watching the water Aug 22 20:44:04 *He could probably put his feet in at least... how dangerous could that be, really? Aug 22 20:45:13 * Morgan stretches, wiggling his toes before leaning back on his elbows Aug 22 20:48:10 *After all, he’d been baptised with that water... the rains that fall on Die Dauerhaftigkeit are partly that water... maybe it wouldn’t be too bad... Aug 22 20:48:50 * Morgan smiles, closing his eyes Aug 22 20:50:38 *it’s relaxing, but the desire to go in the water doesn’t leave him* Aug 22 20:51:02 * Morgan sighs, opening his eyes and looking around Aug 22 20:52:37 *nothing has changed* Aug 22 20:52:48 * Morgan looks out over the water Aug 22 20:56:03 *it’s miles and miles of beautiful blue open water. He could sail it, carefully. Local people have always fished it, gently. Aug 22 20:56:24 Makes no damn sense Aug 22 20:58:38 *the little boat he took Alice out on is nearby* Aug 22 20:59:55 * Morgan gets up, going to it and making it ready Aug 22 21:01:25 *it’s soon ready* Aug 22 21:03:11 * Morgan sets it afloat, climbing into it Aug 22 21:04:31 *it’s good to be out on the water, the surface smooth. he can feel the coolness coming off it Aug 22 21:05:14 * Morgan rows it out a ways before laying back in the boat Aug 22 21:09:18 *the boat gently rocks beneath the clear blue sky, the sun overhead* Aug 22 21:09:50 * Morgan smiles, just enjoying the rocking Aug 22 21:11:32 *the time passes peacefully, but he notices the boat seems to have stealthily moved* Aug 22 21:11:47 * Morgan sits up, looking around Aug 22 21:15:27 *He’s drifted down towards the shore that backs on to what used to be his clearing, where he’d walk Ballard hand in hand with Dietlinde, or latterly he’d carry Jana on his shoulders as they went that way* Aug 22 21:15:57 * Morgan frowns, sweeping round with his magic Aug 22 21:17:39 *there’s nothing out of the ordinary around Aug 22 21:18:29 * Morgan shrugs a little, leaning back again Aug 22 21:20:11 *nothing untoward happens* Aug 22 21:20:39 * Morgan sighs, taking up the oars and rowing back toward where he was Aug 22 21:22:00 *he manages this* Aug 22 21:22:33 * Morgan rows in a circle for a moment before checking the time Aug 22 21:23:59 *it’s ten to two* Aug 22 21:24:15 * Morgan starts rowing for the shore Aug 22 21:25:45 *he gets there safely * Aug 22 21:26:04 * Morgan climbs out, pulling the boat out of the water before looking around Aug 22 21:27:40 *everyone must still be indoors enjoying their time* Aug 22 21:28:12 * Morgan sighs, picking up a stone to skip before walking back toward the house Aug 22 21:29:27 *Alice comes out of the nursery just as he’s about to walk past it* Aug 22 21:30:49 hey Aug 22 21:30:58 * Molly is now known as Alice Aug 22 21:31:18 * Alice smiles, putting her finger to her lip and saying “shh” Aug 22 21:31:33 * Morgan raises an eyebrow Aug 22 21:35:11 * Alice motions for him to follow her back in to the nursery Aug 22 21:35:43 * Morgan nods a little Aug 22 21:37:44 * Alice leads him to her bedroom Aug 22 21:38:04 * Morgan follows her quietly Aug 22 21:39:56 *Edward is bootless and just in a shirt, asleep on the bed. Florrie is curled up asleep beside him* Aug 22 21:40:32 * Morgan watches them for a moment before whispering Aug 22 21:40:49 Hard work doing naptime? Aug 22 21:42:04 * Alice nods, smiling Aug 22 21:42:09 Must be Aug 22 21:42:45 [I think we may have a problem] Aug 22 21:45:24 [oh really?] Aug 22 21:45:56 [Edward fell asleep putting Florrie for her nap] Aug 22 21:46:07 They're going to miss each other terribly Aug 22 21:47:02 [is Alice annoyed about that?] Aug 22 21:47:12 [no but I imagine Mina will be] Aug 22 21:48:31 [oh... I shall go and keep her busy then?] Aug 22 21:51:02 [might be an idea... he'll have been here the whole hour I think] Aug 22 21:51:42 [alright, I will] Aug 22 21:52:46 * Morgan quietly goes out of the room Aug 22 21:54:01 *he hears their bedroom door open down the hall* Aug 22 21:57:44 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Aug 22 22:14:53 * Alice has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
