**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Sep 29 19:29:20 2025 Sep 29 19:29:20 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Sep 29 19:29:52 dward> *her belly brushes against him when she passes to sit. His sense of smell is still dulled Sep 29 19:29:52 * Morgan leads her to her seat Sep 29 19:29:52 *Everyone else settles in. It’s only HH and Inga missing, the rest of his family happy and gathered. Very soon the ladies are talking about some of the freiarrins that had been at the baptisms, just gossiping. They seem to be enjoying this, but it strikes him how Dietlinde wouldn’t have enjoyed this, not the expansive menu of fancier foods, nor the social complexities of the nobility Sep 29 19:29:52 * Morgan just sits quietly Sep 29 19:29:53 *the meal is nice, and the family is full of fondness and love, the last meal they’re likely to share like this, with Uinise going home soon and unlikely to return for Hirschen’s baptism as the other will Sep 29 19:29:56 * Morgan sips his drink, listening to the others Sep 29 19:31:14 *Edward is telling them a story about some rigged horse racing from years ago. There’s lots of laughter and interjectors. His drink, like his food, tastes a bit bland* Sep 29 19:35:42 * Morgan smiles a little just watching them Sep 29 19:36:59 *they’re enjoying themselves, though Mina looks a little sad when Sugared Plums are brought out for the dessert* Sep 29 19:37:58 * Morgan watches her sympathetically Sep 29 19:38:34 *Mina gives him a little nod, and a sad smile* Sep 29 19:40:37 * Morgan smiles a little Sep 29 19:41:25 *Mina turns them down, opting for coffee. The others chat on* Sep 29 19:43:01 V: Are you boys going to the tavern? Sep 29 19:43:12 That was the plan... Sep 29 19:44:12 Ed: *he nods* I am still wanting to Sep 29 19:45:02 * Morgan nods Sep 29 19:46:23 AD: We will leave later to account for your late night Sep 29 19:47:32 Like it'll make any difference to what time I wake Sep 29 19:48:57 Mina: I’ve heard you’re always up early Sep 29 19:50:24 I'm always awake in time for dawn Sep 29 19:52:25 Verity smiles: you were always an early bird Sep 29 19:54:21 * Morgan nods Sep 29 19:55:37 Ad: I assume you are not riding down there Sep 29 19:56:20 I wasn'tt planning to... I don't want Edward falling off a horse drunk Sep 29 19:56:47 Uinise: Why would a horse be drunk? Sep 29 19:56:53 *everyone laughs* Sep 29 19:57:55 Xantha stole a bottle of schnapps once... Sep 29 19:58:13 Uinise: Why? Sep 29 20:00:09 Because sometimes he can be really unpleasant Sep 29 20:02:07 U: Did he drink it all? Sep 29 20:02:56 Some, yes... he didn't really like it Sep 29 20:05:13 U: Did it make him sick? Sep 29 20:05:33 No, he's got a stronger constitution than I have Sep 29 20:05:49 *Edward sniffs* No, he just got a little -hoarse- Sep 29 20:06:41 *there are groans and chuckles, but Uinise looks completely earnest* Where did he get that?! Sep 29 20:07:22 * Morgan looks to Edward Sep 29 20:10:04 *Edward chuckles* No, like his throat was sore Sep 29 20:12:28 * Morgan watches Unitise surreptitiously Sep 29 20:14:02 *Uinise laughs* Not like a pony! Sep 29 20:14:22 Of course, -now- he has a little horse... Sep 29 20:17:23 Verity: You must be eager to see how Hope is Sep 29 20:18:08 * Morgan nods Sep 29 20:18:10 I am, yes Sep 29 20:20:28 * Molly smiles “it will be nice to see how everything is going there” Sep 29 20:20:47 I'm looking forward to swimming Sep 29 20:23:40 * Molly smiles fondly “me too” Sep 29 20:24:14 Adalbrecht: I don’t think you should be swimming in your condition Sep 29 20:25:46 Why? Sep 29 20:26:46 A: it’s probably bad for the baby Sep 29 20:26:54 Because... Sep 29 20:27:19 Ad: I don’t know, do I?! I am not a midwife Sep 29 20:28:32 I must assume you're also against baths... Sep 29 20:38:24 Ad: No... Sep 29 20:38:42 Ed: Brother, I think I am ready for the tavern, are you? Sep 29 20:39:58 * Morgan nods Sep 29 20:40:08 I am, but I'll need a moment with my wife first Sep 29 20:41:24 Ve: The ladies will go to the drawing room I think Sep 29 20:41:54 *Everyone gets up, starting to arrange themselves for their respective post-dinner drinks Sep 29 20:42:46 * Morgan waits for Molly Sep 29 20:46:27 * Molly comes to stand with him Sep 29 20:48:21 I'm going to need my sense of smell back love... Sep 29 20:50:11 * Molly nods. His neck prickles, and suddenly the scent of her hits him like a ton of bricks Sep 29 20:51:37 * Morgan clears his throat Sep 29 20:51:39 Uhh... thank you Sep 29 20:53:06 * Molly smiles Sep 29 20:53:22 You’re welcome... Sep 29 20:54:25 I'll see you later my love Sep 29 20:56:54 * Molly nods, smiling [no kissing your cheek, hmm?] Sep 29 20:57:44 [best not] Sep 29 20:59:57 * Molly nods Sep 29 21:00:02 Enjoy yourself Sep 29 21:00:22 Alright love Sep 29 21:02:37 * Molly goes to join the others, and her scent lessens Sep 29 21:03:16 * Morgan rolls his shoulders, going over toward Edward Sep 29 21:04:15 * Molly is now known as Edward Sep 29 21:04:22 * Edward is watching him Sep 29 21:04:25 Problem? Sep 29 21:04:33 Nothing to worry about Sep 29 21:06:57 * Edward glances at Molly, who is lagging with Mina, and shrugs Sep 29 21:07:02 Very well Sep 29 21:07:26 Don't worry at it, its fine Sep 29 21:07:46 * Edward nods, taking his coat when the servant offers it Sep 29 21:07:55 Ready then? Sep 29 21:09:17 * Morgan nods Sep 29 21:09:18 I am Sep 29 21:11:06 * Edward waits for Morgan to get his coat on, and then leads out of into the dusk Sep 29 21:11:17 He’ll check if we walked or rode, you know Sep 29 21:11:57 Why? Sep 29 21:12:55 because he is like that Sep 29 21:15:35 Having never been the going out and getting drunk type, I cant say I noticed Sep 29 21:35:24 * Edward has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
