**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Aug 24 18:17:32 2025 Aug 24 18:17:32 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Aug 24 18:18:15 Is something wrong? Aug 24 18:18:15 no, I’m well enough Aug 24 18:18:15 You seem pensive Aug 24 18:18:15 I’m keen to get back to Emil and nurse Aug 24 18:18:15 * Morgan nods Aug 24 18:18:17 Alright Aug 24 18:18:19 * Molly smiles “I’m looking forward to easier days” Aug 24 18:18:21 * Morgan nods Aug 24 18:18:23 Me too Aug 24 18:18:25 * Molly sighs, taking his hand “They will come” Aug 24 18:18:27 * Morgan nods Aug 24 18:20:47 *Bir flaps her wings, though it’s a bit restricted here* Aug 24 18:21:03 I know love, you can fly soon Aug 24 18:21:35 B: Bir fly Aug 24 18:22:58 Soon, Bir... Aug 24 18:23:16 *the bird wolf whistles* Aug 24 18:23:45 * Molly smiles Aug 24 18:24:11 It’ll be easier for her at home where she’s settled Aug 24 18:24:35 * Morgan nods Aug 24 18:24:37 Aye, it will Aug 24 18:25:23 *they turn right, down into the clearing. She watches him* Is it still odd for you here? Aug 24 18:25:44 * Morgan nods Aug 24 18:25:46 Aye, it is Aug 24 18:28:01 * Molly nods “does it get easier?” Aug 24 18:28:25 Slowly,I suppose Aug 24 18:28:45 * Molly nods Aug 24 18:29:27 You’re doing better than you were, and there is still much time ahead Aug 24 18:29:44 I suppose so Aug 24 18:31:07 * Molly squeezes his hand Aug 24 18:32:21 I think you are Aug 24 18:32:31 Some, I suppose Aug 24 18:33:28 Be kind to the man I love, please Aug 24 18:33:36 * Morgan frowns a little Aug 24 18:34:09 what, my love? Aug 24 18:35:20 Just... seems a bit unfair to demand that of me Aug 24 18:35:36 Why? Aug 24 18:36:46 Its like saying... Don't feel a certain way or you're letting me down Aug 24 18:38:20 I am asking that you try to have empathy for yourself, my love, just as you would ask the rest of us to do. I just wish you to be at peace with you Aug 24 18:38:34 * Morgan shrugs a little Aug 24 18:41:26 I love you regardless Aug 24 18:41:37 * Morgan nods Aug 24 18:41:39 And I you Aug 24 18:44:39 * Molly nods. She moves to kiss him, but the coach pulls to a stop Aug 24 18:45:25 * Morgan sighs Aug 24 18:45:28 Time to get the boys Aug 24 18:49:18 * Molly nods, turning her attention to smoothing down her dress “Yes, it is. And to say goodbye to my parents for now” Aug 24 18:50:41 * Morgan nods Aug 24 18:50:43 aye Aug 24 18:56:49 *the coachman opens the door. Bir tries to get out Aug 24 18:56:58 Hang on Bir... Aug 24 18:57:03 * Morgan moves to get out Aug 24 18:57:58 *he manages it* Aug 24 18:58:31 * Morgan takes Bir out, putting her up on his shoulder Aug 24 19:01:08 *Bir sits still* Aug 24 19:01:20 Good girl Aug 24 19:02:08 *the coachman helps Molly out. Varick comes out of the house* Aug 24 19:03:44 * Morgan looks him over Aug 24 19:04:22 *Varick comes over, smiling* hi Bir! Aug 24 19:05:09 You alright lad? Aug 24 19:05:13 *Bir Wolf-whistles* Aug 24 19:05:54 V: *he nods* we chopped some logs and cleaned out the stable Aug 24 19:06:06 * Morgan nods Aug 24 19:06:14 Bet you enjoyed that Aug 24 19:07:46 V: I liked chopping, but not the smell Aug 24 19:08:00 * Morgan nods Aug 24 19:08:03 Resonable Aug 24 19:08:06 reasonable Aug 24 19:09:04 V: Can Bir fly? Aug 24 19:09:51 * Morgan nods Aug 24 19:09:55 Long as she's careful Aug 24 19:10:09 *Varick looks at her* Be careful Bir Aug 24 19:10:53 * Morgan waits for her to take off Aug 24 19:12:12 *Bir gets down, but walks along the ground, pecking as she goes. Jana, who had loved trying to hug their rooster, would have been mad for the rainbow-coloured bird* Aug 24 19:12:48 * Morgan watches her sadly Aug 24 19:14:31 Varick: She’s okay, Vati, She’s just curious Aug 24 19:14:57 * Morgan nods a little Aug 24 19:16:14 * Molly touches his arm “I’m going to find Emil” Aug 24 19:16:36 Alright love Aug 24 19:18:39 * Molly goes into their house. He hears the screaming of Emil immediately Aug 24 19:19:10 Did you sleep alright? Aug 24 19:20:40 *Varick shrugs* We played cards. Grandma said we were old enough to decide if we wanted a nap Aug 24 19:20:51 Did she Aug 24 19:25:00 * Molly is now known as Varick Aug 24 19:25:04 yes Aug 24 19:25:16 * Morgan nods Aug 24 19:25:17 I see Aug 24 19:27:40 is that bad? Aug 24 19:28:25 * Morgan sighs Aug 24 19:28:31 Its just... not what we would have liked her to do Aug 24 19:29:57 why? Aug 24 19:30:32 Because its a decision that should be made by your parents Aug 24 19:32:08 But we weren’t tired Aug 24 19:32:45 Thats as maybe Aug 24 19:37:26 * Varick sighs Aug 24 19:37:31 okay Aug 24 19:37:52 So you and Jacques haven't had a nap... what about Emil? Aug 24 19:39:39 * Varick nods “he did, but he was asking for Mama bees” Aug 24 19:39:47 * Morgan nods Aug 24 19:39:49 Not surprising Aug 24 19:43:08 but grandma gave him warm milk and cuddled him Aug 24 19:43:14 * Morgan nods Aug 24 19:43:20 Probably the best alternative Aug 24 19:45:19 * Varick nods, watching Bir. She flies on up on top of the house before laughing like Heinzharold* Aug 24 19:45:48 * Morgan smiles Aug 24 19:45:51 Jana would've loved her Aug 24 19:47:24 Maybe she can see Bir from heaven Aug 24 19:47:34 * Morgan nods Aug 24 19:47:44 We used to have a rooster, she was always trying to cuddle him Aug 24 19:48:56 Did he like it? Aug 24 19:49:05 Not so far as I could tell, no Aug 24 19:51:12 * Varick smiles Aug 24 19:51:34 We should get a rooster, Vati, and then when she watches over us she can see him Aug 24 19:51:48 * Morgan nods Aug 24 19:51:52 That might be something to consider Aug 24 19:53:28 * Varick nods, watching Bir fly. Jacques comes out Aug 24 19:53:58 J: Milord, her ladyship said she’d be out soon Aug 24 19:54:40 * Morgan nods Aug 24 19:54:44 Alright, thank you Aug 24 19:56:42 Let’s play while we wait Aug 24 19:57:16 * Morgan nods Aug 24 19:57:18 alright Aug 24 19:58:18 *the boys run off* Aug 24 19:58:24 You have to catch us! Aug 24 19:58:40 Do I? Aug 24 20:00:35 That’s the game Aug 24 20:01:00 * Morgan rolls his shoulders before giving chase Aug 24 20:02:51 *they are pretty good at this, a bit like he and Heinzharold used to be when Grunhelm was trying to catch them Aug 24 20:03:12 * Morgan smiles a little, carrying on Aug 24 20:04:40 *he manages to catch Varick about ten minutes later* Aug 24 20:05:06 * Morgan lifts him up Aug 24 20:06:45 * Varick laughs Aug 24 20:06:52 no! you got me! Aug 24 20:07:03 Yes I did Aug 24 20:08:08 you have to catch Jacques now Aug 24 20:08:24 * Morgan nods, letting Varick down before chasing Jacques Aug 24 20:09:34 *Jacques leads him on a merry dance. Morgan spots Molly watching him Aug 24 20:10:15 * Morgan slows, shrugging a little Aug 24 20:12:14 *She smiles* A pity it’s not a game for all of us... Aug 24 20:12:56 * Morgan nods Aug 24 20:12:59 Not at the moment anyway Aug 24 20:14:04 *she rubs her stomach * I suppose I’ll have to wait a while Aug 24 20:14:10 * Morgan nods Aug 24 20:14:11 Aye Aug 24 20:15:13 * Varick sighs Aug 24 20:15:21 Molly* Aug 24 20:15:43 M: There’ll be other days for hunting in the woods... Aug 24 20:16:17 * Morgan nods Aug 24 20:16:18 aye Aug 24 20:18:51 *he spots Jacques not paying attention* Aug 24 20:19:25 * Morgan moves toward him quietly before grabbing him Aug 24 20:20:56 *Jacques laughs* Aug 24 20:21:54 * Morgan ruffles his hair Aug 24 20:23:15 Jacques: You’re a good catcher Aug 24 20:23:22 I'm not bad, lad Aug 24 20:24:44 *Martha brings out Emil and his bag. Varick hugs her* Aug 24 20:28:32 *David comes out too, coming to shake Morgan’s hand* Aug 24 20:29:00 D: take care, Morgan Aug 24 20:29:07 * Morgan nods, shaking his hand Aug 24 20:29:09 We will Aug 24 20:32:31 *Molly takes Emil from Martha, and the latter comes to hug him* I don’t know if we’ll see you before August Aug 24 20:33:23 * Morgan shrugs, hugging her Aug 24 20:33:28 I'm afraid I just don't know Aug 24 20:34:43 *she lets go* Verity wants you to come early Aug 24 20:35:10 I know she does Aug 24 20:37:18 M: But I know Molly will only come when she wants to Aug 24 20:37:56 * Morgan nods Aug 24 20:37:57 Thats right Aug 24 20:39:16 * Varick and Jacques say their goodbyes, as does Molly. Bir is called back in, and they get underway to Sascha and Otto’s Aug 24 20:41:44 * Morgan sits quietly Aug 24 20:43:58 *Molly latches Emil again. Varick chats away, but Jacques looks away, watching out of the window. Bir is crammed between the two boys Aug 24 20:44:50 Did you boys have fun? Aug 24 20:46:52 we ate a whole cake Aug 24 20:46:59 Did you? Aug 24 20:48:39 * Varick nods Aug 24 20:48:43 it was nice Aug 24 20:48:55 Must have been for you to eat the whole thing Aug 24 20:51:39 * Varick shrugs Aug 24 20:52:02 I’ll eat any cake, Vati, it doesn’t have to be good Aug 24 20:53:33 * Morgan chuckles Aug 24 20:53:40 That doesn't really surprise me Aug 24 20:55:49 *Emil looks up at Morgan from his position at her breast* Aug 24 20:57:19 * Morgan smiles, stroking his hair Aug 24 20:58:49 *Emil looks to concentrate, and a few moments later Molly says “Oh my...”* Aug 24 20:59:26 * Varick makes a disgusted face “He smells so bad!” Aug 24 20:59:42 *Jacques keeps quiet but grimaces* Aug 24 21:00:18 * Morgan smiles a little Aug 24 21:00:21 They do that Aug 24 21:03:18 But it’s so bad! Aug 24 21:04:31 Tends to be Aug 24 21:06:17 can’t you smell it, Vati?! Aug 24 21:06:52 * Morgan shrugs a little Aug 24 21:07:03 I'm not a stranger to the smells a baby can make Aug 24 21:08:21 M: perhaps we’ll open the windows... Aug 24 21:08:38 Good idea Aug 24 21:10:01 *they do this, and the others seem less bothered by the smell he can’t smell Aug 24 21:11:03 * Morgan looks out of the window Aug 24 21:12:38 *they’re soon pulling up at their destination* Aug 24 21:17:37 * Varick has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
