Aug 23 18:29:28 He wants Florrie to carry his name Aug 23 18:30:22 * Morgan smiles a little Aug 23 18:30:23 I know Aug 23 18:32:09 * Alice nods Aug 23 18:32:54 I don’t see why she shouldn’t. It’s not like the remaining Everhearts care much for her Aug 23 18:33:11 Thats their loss... Aug 23 18:33:56 * Alice nods Aug 23 18:34:10 She’s too good for them Aug 23 18:34:24 Shares that with her mother Aug 23 18:34:59 * Alice smiles “Thanks” Aug 23 18:35:17 * Morgan nods a little Aug 23 18:35:22 So she will be a Koertig? Aug 23 18:35:31 * Alice nods Aug 23 18:35:58 She will Aug 23 18:36:31 * Morgan nods Aug 23 18:36:36 Edward will be thrilled Aug 23 18:37:08 You don't feel you are losing something? Aug 23 18:38:46 * Alice shakes her head Aug 23 18:38:57 I’ve gained a family Aug 23 18:39:08 * Morgan nods, hugging her Aug 23 18:39:11 Yes, you have Aug 23 18:41:02 * Alice hugs him back Aug 23 18:44:21 I’m glad I brought her here Aug 23 18:44:34 * Morgan nods, letting go Aug 23 18:45:57 I think its done her good Aug 23 18:46:42 * Alice nods Aug 23 18:46:55 She’s much more sociable Aug 23 18:47:19 * Morgan nods Aug 23 18:47:21 Aye, she is Aug 23 18:49:42 * Alice smiles “Pete and Beth won’t believe how far she’s come” Aug 23 18:50:41 * Morgan nods Aug 23 18:50:52 I wouldn't be surprised if she goes backwards a little Aug 23 18:52:14 * Alice nods Aug 23 18:52:24 She’s going to be very sad Aug 23 18:52:31 * Morgan nods Aug 23 18:52:33 We all are Aug 23 18:54:43 * Alice nods Aug 23 18:54:52 We’ll be back again Aug 23 18:56:39 * Morgan nods Aug 23 18:56:45 Aye, not -too- long away Aug 23 18:57:03 I’ve enjoyed it Aug 23 18:58:01 * Morgan nods Aug 23 18:58:05 Its been difficult at times for me Aug 23 18:58:27 If only she looked different... Aug 23 18:59:20 Then we'd not have found you Aug 23 18:59:29 * Alice nods Aug 23 19:00:08 Maybe I’d have bumped into him somewhere, he said he’d travelled in Vendel and I’d been there often Aug 23 19:00:18 * Morgan shrugs Aug 23 19:00:22 maybe Aug 23 19:00:55 You’d have still loved her though Aug 23 19:01:24 * Morgan nods Aug 23 19:01:28 Of course Aug 23 19:04:44 * Alice nods. He can hear Edward stir Aug 23 19:05:44 Sounds like sleeping beauty is waking Aug 23 19:06:41 * Alice nods, smiling Aug 23 19:07:12 I think we’re supposed to be spending the afternoon with your Father Aug 23 19:07:39 Its only fair, being his birthday Aug 23 19:08:45 * Alice nods Aug 23 19:09:04 what about you? Aug 23 19:09:30 I'm not completely sure actually Aug 23 19:10:50 * Alice smiles Aug 23 19:11:12 Do you need to ask your boss? Aug 23 19:11:26 * Morgan smiles a little Aug 23 19:11:35 The cheel... Aug 23 19:11:38 cheek* Aug 23 19:14:05 * Alice shrugs Aug 23 19:14:29 She’s got you especially wrapped around her finger for a few months Aug 23 19:15:08 Well... yeah, to a point Aug 23 19:16:26 I think that’s really nice, especially as she’s having a pretty pregnancy Aug 23 19:16:44 * Morgan nods Aug 23 19:16:53 It'd be nice of things were a touch easier, mind... Aug 23 19:17:34 Are you having problems? Aug 23 19:17:58 Her mother upset her and it caused a bit of a fight Aug 23 19:18:28 * Alice nods Aug 23 19:18:37 families are rough Aug 23 19:18:51 * Morgan nods Aug 23 19:18:52 Aye, can be Aug 23 19:19:17 Is that why you’re here and not with her? Aug 23 19:19:40 No, I wanted to spend a bit of time in the gardens, being our last day here Aug 23 19:20:35 * Alice smiles “If you need me to help with the boys later though...” Aug 23 19:20:48 * Morgan nods Aug 23 19:20:52 May well take you up on that Aug 23 19:21:21 Are they still at her parents’?” Aug 23 19:22:22 * Morgan nods Aug 23 19:22:32 We're meant to be picking them up and checking in with Sascha and Otto Aug 23 19:25:30 * Alice nods “you’ll get some time together then” Aug 23 19:25:46 Aye, we will Aug 23 19:27:11 I kind of envy that companionship and opportunity! Aug 23 19:28:39 * Morgan nods Aug 23 19:28:47 I know love Aug 23 19:30:53 * Alice smiles. Florrie says “Vati, you sleeping?” Edward fakes a snore Aug 23 19:31:41 He's so good with her Aug 23 19:32:44 * Alice nods “she’s got a much better father than I had” Aug 23 19:33:34 * Morgan nods Aug 23 19:33:37 Aye, she has Aug 23 19:36:08 F: Vati! No snore! Aug 23 19:36:41 *Edward must suddenly ‘wake’, because she laughs hysterically Aug 23 19:36:56 * Morgan nods Aug 23 19:37:01 * Morgan smiles Aug 23 19:37:09 He's such a child sometimes Aug 23 19:40:14 * Alice nods “It’s surprising” Aug 23 19:40:56 *Edward walks in, carrying Florrie on his hip. His usual neatness is replaced with looking a little dishevelled Aug 23 19:40:59 Apparently he was always very good with Varick Aug 23 19:41:41 Ed: Who was? Aug 23 19:42:17 you Aug 23 19:44:16 *Edward shrugs* As much as an adolescent could be. I had no interest in having one of my own Aug 23 19:46:42 You do yourself a disservice Aug 23 19:49:21 *Edward kisses Florrie’s forehead* Do you want to play with the teaset whilst I talk to Morgan? *she gets down* Aug 23 19:51:51 * Morgan watches her for a moment, smiling faintly Aug 23 19:53:23 *Florrie goes to play. Edward straightens up his shirt as he approaches Morgan* what’s going on? Aug 23 19:53:32 * Alice is now known as Edward Aug 23 19:55:30 With? Aug 23 19:55:43 you were absent through lunch Aug 23 19:56:38 I had lunch with Molly Aug 23 19:59:26 * Edward smirks, tucking his shirt in Aug 23 19:59:36 Very well, brother Aug 23 20:00:29 And then for quiet hour I went and didn't give into the temptation of swimming Aug 23 20:02:47 * Edward nods Aug 23 20:02:56 Life is a better choice Aug 23 20:03:11 * Morgan shrugs Aug 23 20:03:17 We fish in it, sail across it... Aug 23 20:05:22 but we aren’t-touching- it Aug 23 20:05:55 * Morgan shrugs a little Aug 23 20:07:02 you would not actually do it Aug 23 20:07:28 It was very tempting Aug 23 20:09:27 * Edward shakes his head Aug 23 20:09:39 Time for you to go back to the safe lake Aug 23 20:10:11 * Morgan nods, sighing Aug 23 20:10:12 Aye Aug 23 20:12:46 * Edward finds his doublet Aug 23 20:12:53 where is Molly? Aug 23 20:13:23 Gone to see Mina Aug 23 20:14:02 why? Aug 23 20:15:05 Because she wanted to perhaps? Aug 23 20:17:17 * Edward nods “very well” Aug 23 20:21:09 * Morgan glances toward Alice Aug 23 20:21:23 I think the two of you have something to discuss... I'll leave you to it Aug 23 20:21:51 * Edward nods Aug 23 20:22:03 We’ll see you later, brother Aug 23 20:22:13 * Morgan nods, quietly leaving the room Aug 23 20:24:54 *the scent of her lingers in the hall* Aug 23 20:26:13 * Morgan sighs, going to his room Aug 23 20:27:14 *she’s not there, but it smells even more so in here* Aug 23 20:27:48 Oh this is going to be tough isn't it Aug 23 20:29:13 *he’s alone, she must still be with Mina* Aug 23 20:30:19 * Morgan stretches before going to get some coffee Aug 23 20:32:01 *he gets down to his kitchen before he hears* [uhhh I think we should go and collect to boys] Aug 23 20:32:16 [right... whats wrong?] Aug 23 20:33:47 [I am getting a little overfull and sore] Aug 23 20:34:04 [I see... alright, I'm down in the kitchen] Aug 23 20:35:30 [I’ll come and find you] Aug 23 20:37:19 * Edward is now known as Molly Aug 23 20:38:04 *He hears the outer door open a few minutes later* Aug 23 20:39:08 * Morgan heads toward it Aug 23 20:40:54 * Molly smiles, and she looks pleased to see him. He can already faintly pick up that scent of her Aug 23 20:41:09 I’ve told Mina Edward is here Aug 23 20:42:13 Maybe I'm over thinking it but he didn't seem to realise it could be a problem Aug 23 20:43:18 * Molly nods “she thinks he’s here to talk with Alice about the form for her acknowledgment “ Aug 23 20:44:27 * Morgan sighs Aug 23 20:44:33 That might come back to bite him later Aug 23 20:45:26 why? Aug 23 20:46:03 If she finds out he fell asleep... what might that look like to Mina... Aug 23 20:46:33 * Molly moves close, and picks up the coffee he’s just made. It smells good, but she smells much better Aug 23 20:46:40 That he’s slept with Alice?! Aug 23 20:47:50 It wouldn't be an unreasonable thing for her to think... Aug 23 20:48:16 Hmmm... *she sips it* Aug 23 20:49:39 * Morgan shrugs, sipping his coffee Aug 23 20:51:55 * Molly shrugs a little Aug 23 20:52:18 I think that’s his problem, there’s nothing we can really do Aug 23 20:53:43 * Morgan nods Aug 23 20:53:45 Indeed Aug 23 20:54:39 * Molly stretches her lower back “Are you ready to go?” Aug 23 20:54:54 * Morgan nods Aug 23 20:54:56 aye Aug 23 20:56:49 shall we take a coach? Aug 23 20:56:59 Best had I suppose Aug 23 20:59:25 * Molly nods, heading outside into the sunshine. A carriage is soon found, just a small one as they only need to collect two boys and a toddler. The coachman waits to see if he should hand her in Aug 23 21:00:24 * Morgan moves to help her in Aug 23 21:01:56 * Molly thanks him, gently squeezing his hand Aug 23 21:04:08 ;me nods to the coachman before climbing in Aug 23 21:05:03 *the coachman shuts the door. it’s warm in here already. She sits facing forward Aug 23 21:06:04 * Morgan sits down opposite her Aug 23 21:06:19 * Molly watches him a moment Aug 23 21:06:26 is everything alright? Aug 23 21:06:30 * Morgan nods Aug 23 21:06:34 Thought you might want a b it of space Aug 23 21:08:14 * Molly frowns Aug 23 21:08:18 why would I? Aug 23 21:09:15 Because its a bit warm... Aug 23 21:10:03 I don’t understand Aug 23 21:10:20 I just told you... Aug 23 21:12:07 I don’t mind, but if -you- need to sit away from me I’ll understand Aug 23 21:12:39 It is a little difficult Aug 23 21:13:24 * Molly nods “Would you want me to do it to you again?” Aug 23 21:13:39 Might be an idea actually Aug 23 21:16:00 * Molly nods sadly “Alright, my love” *his neck prickles* Aug 23 21:16:53 Its for the best right now Aug 23 21:17:39 *he can’t smell anything* Aug 23 21:17:42 Is it? Aug 23 21:19:08 Well, yes... we're going to get the boys and see... damn, I forgot Bir Aug 23 21:20:04 we can turn around Aug 23 21:20:14 * Morgan nods, rapping on the roof Aug 23 21:20:16 I did promise Aug 23 21:22:18 *the coachman takes the instructions, and turns around. It takes only a couple of minutes to get back to Die Dauerhaftigkeit* Aug 23 21:22:56 I'll be as quick as I can Aug 23 21:23:51 * Molly nods Aug 23 21:23:55 thank you Aug 23 21:25:00 * Morgan nods, getting out and jogging to go find Bir Aug 23 21:25:36 *he finds her up in the nursery parlour* Aug 23 21:25:49 Ed: That was quick Aug 23 21:26:08 Came to fetch Bir... I promised to take her so Sascha could see her Aug 23 21:27:41 Bir: Muah! pretty Bir! Aug 23 21:28:18 Pretty Bir Aug 23 21:28:51 *Bir flies to him* Aug 23 21:29:38 Good girl... lets go see some people Aug 23 21:30:41 Alice: Are you going to let her fly down there? Aug 23 21:31:38 Once we're there... she'll ride in the carriage with us til then Aug 23 21:32:57 Ed: I thought you’d walk... *he smirks* Aug 23 21:33:23 Why? Aug 23 21:35:28 Alice rolls her eyes at Edward: he’s being rude Aug 23 21:37:42 He's trying... Aug 23 21:38:10 *Edward nods* Aug 23 21:38:44 I'll see you later Aug 23 21:40:21 *he says, just as Morgan’s going* mind yourself if he stops hard Aug 23 21:41:16 * Morgan rolls his eyes, making his way down to the carriage Aug 23 21:42:29 * Molly is sat in the corner, resting her head on the window Aug 23 21:42:49 Sorry love, Edward was trying to be clever Aug 23 21:44:11 Oh? Aug 23 21:45:01 Aiming for clever implication and missing by a mile Aug 23 21:46:00 sit beside me? Aug 23 21:46:23 * Morgan nods, sitting beside her Aug 23 21:47:11 what was he implying? Aug 23 21:47:39 That I'd find being in the carriag with you hard... Aug 23 21:48:48 * Molly nods a little “He doesn’t realise the advantage you have” Aug 23 21:48:58 No, he doesn't Aug 23 21:50:54 * Molly looks at Bir on the other seat Aug 23 21:51:14 well, I’m sure he didn’t mean anything cruel by it Aug 23 21:52:18 no Aug 23 21:53:09 Are you ready to go, my love? Aug 23 21:53:30 * Morgan nods, tapping the roof Aug 23 21:55:10 *the coach sets off again. She sits quietly watching from the window Aug 23 21:55:55 Is something wrong? Aug 23 21:56:36 no, I’m well enough Aug 23 21:56:46 You seem pensive Aug 23 21:57:15 I’m keen to get back to Emil and nurse Aug 23 21:57:43 * Morgan nods Aug 23 21:57:44 Alright Aug 23 22:00:27 * Molly smiles “I’m looking forward to easier days” Aug 23 22:00:52 * Morgan nods Aug 23 22:00:53 Me too Aug 23 22:02:20 * Molly sighs, taking his hand “They will come” Aug 23 22:02:27 * Morgan nods Aug 23 22:05:41 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
