**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Oct 12 10:25:12 2025 Oct 12 10:25:12 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Oct 12 17:15:13 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Oct 12 17:15:44 *theres nothing there that gives away the body he’d fed to the depths* Oct 12 17:15:44 Are you nervous? Oct 12 17:15:44 A little, I suppose... Oct 12 17:15:44 Why? Oct 12 17:15:44 Its a lot of attention Oct 12 17:15:47 * Edward nods Oct 12 17:15:49 Most of them will be looking at the bride. The groom is just there as an accessory Oct 12 17:15:53 In most circumstances, yes... Oct 12 17:15:55 They will be curious that you came home betrothed, but it has been a long time now... Oct 12 17:15:57 perhaps Oct 12 17:15:59 * Edward reaches out and touches his gloved hand to Morgan’s shoulder “It will be a good, happy day for Sudlachenburg “ Oct 12 17:16:01 * Morgan nods, patting his hand Oct 12 17:18:36 *They watch the sunrise, and then it’s time to get ready for the day. He doesn’t see Molly, naturally. At breakfast, Adalbrecht assumes that Karsten must be hungover.

Oct 12 17:19:13 Aye, can do Oct 12 17:22:00 * HH nods, and they both go upstairs. His old room is comfortable enough, and Claudia gets comfortable with baby Gretchen on his couch whilst HH finds the place Morgan once hid some whiskey, back before Morgan was first married Oct 12 17:22:08 How’s it goin? Oct 12 17:22:41 * Morgan shrugs Oct 12 17:23:22 * HH hands him the bottle Oct 12 17:23:35 was ackshully jokin about the cold feet... Oct 12 17:24:53 * Morgan nods, sipping the whiskey Oct 12 17:24:56 Aye I know Oct 12 17:25:31 *Claudia looks concerned, gently rubbing the back of the baby on her shoulder* It is scary, changing everything you know Oct 12 17:26:18 I'm alright Oct 12 17:28:04 She’s a good woman, you could do much worse... Oct 12 17:28:16 C: Heinzharold-has- done much worse... Oct 12 17:28:33 * HH chuckles “My wife hears you, we’re both for it!” Oct 12 17:28:48 * Morgan nods Oct 12 17:31:15 That not what’s bothering ya?

Oct 12 17:35:43 * HH looks at him “what do y’ need, man?” Oct 12 17:36:47 * Morgan shrugs Oct 12 17:36:49 I don't know Oct 12 17:40:02 hug? Oct 12 17:40:17 * Morgan nods Oct 12 17:40:29 * HH hugs him hard Oct 12 17:41:44 * Morgan hugs him back Oct 12 17:42:39 He was a piece of shit. Yensid reck’ns he purposely killed off yer Cousin Oct 12 17:43:50 That sits about right Oct 12 17:44:19 C: It really worked in his favour to be free to marry Maubourg’s daughter Oct 12 17:45:07 What you've got there is motive... Oct 12 17:45:22 Yeah.. strange how she then died too Oct 12 17:45:52 * Morgan nods Oct 12 17:45:54 Isn't it... Oct 12 17:46:04 * HH pats his back Oct 12 17:46:07 good riddance Oct 12 17:47:31 I worry for Varick Oct 12 17:48:12 C: DeeDee thinks he’s just in need of a healthy male role model Oct 12 17:48:35 He doesn't have any male role models now Oct 12 17:50:04 got you, an’ Edward Oct 12 17:50:33 maybe Oct 12 17:51:08 C: DeeDee and I will be around now Oct 12 17:51:24 * HH grins “She’s an excellent male role model” Oct 12 17:51:38 More balls than you have Oct 12 17:51:55 *they both laugh* Oct 12 17:54:28 C: Are you getting dressed, or are you waiting for a baby cuddle? Oct 12 17:54:52 Baby cuddle... Oct 12 17:56:19 *Claudia brings the lovely blonde baby to him, she’s sleeping * Oct 12 17:56:33 * Morgan takes her gently Oct 12 17:57:25 *she fidgets, then settles* Oct 12 17:58:10 * Morgan shushes her, rocking her gently Oct 12 17:59:11 won’t be long til you’re doing that with yer own Oct 12 18:01:17 No... Oct 12 18:02:27 *Claudia smiles, watching them* nothing quite hits the spot like a baby Oct 12 18:03:01 * Morgan nods Oct 12 18:03:07 You might be right Oct 12 18:04:30 *her filling her nappy cloth does take the shine off* Oct 12 18:04:57 Charming Oct 12 18:05:49 * HH nods “best hand her back before you get made to change her” Oct 12 18:08:39 * Morgan shrugs, handing her back Oct 12 18:09:34 *Claudia takes her lovingly* Oct 12 18:10:06 Want me t’ go check in on how Molly and the kids are? Oct 12 18:11:29 * Morgan nods Oct 12 18:11:30 please Oct 12 18:12:07 * HH goes, and Claudia settles to change the baby Oct 12 18:14:53 * Morgan moves about getting his things ready Oct 12 18:16:12 *he doesn’t see HH Again until they’re riding to the church* Oct 12 18:16:59 rumour has it that he’s done a midnight flit after behaving in a way that’d get him called out Oct 12 18:17:26 Rumour has that, does it? Oct 12 18:17:54 yep, servants are sayin it Oct 12 18:19:55 And did someone put them up to that? Oct 12 18:21:38 Not that I ‘eard. Edward was overheard talking to his wife, servants found he wasn’t in his room and hadn’t slept in the bed... Oct 12 18:22:03 * Morgan nods Oct 12 18:22:16 Edward has asked me to be his second once the service is done Oct 12 18:24:04 * HH nods Oct 12 18:24:36 Makes sense he’d have high-tailed it. Be a few weeks before anyone there wonders why he’s not back yet Oct 12 18:25:27 * Morgan nods Oct 12 18:25:28 aye Oct 12 18:26:25 * HH nods Oct 12 18:27:51 Meantime, Varick goes back to th’ ‘Cademy, you start livin in wedded bliss, I have a kid, an then eventually he comes here on the school holidays, right? Oct 12 18:29:06 We'll see Oct 12 18:29:52 * HH nods “No point worryin about any of it” Oct 12 18:30:07 perhaps Oct 12 18:32:14 * HH looks at him Oct 12 18:32:28 Smile man, you’re getting married today! Oct 12 18:33:34 * Morgan nods Oct 12 18:33:36 Yes I recall Oct 12 18:35:07 Gotta make it a good one, hopefully the last weddin’ you’ll ever have Oct 12 18:35:32 * Morgan nods Oct 12 18:35:34 hopefully Oct 12 18:40:50 * HH nods Oct 12 18:41:11 Should see Connie, man, she looks sweet Oct 12 18:42:07 Yeah? Oct 12 18:43:27 * HH chuckles “Meowing at me though” Oct 12 18:43:57 Oh... yeah, she's a cat Oct 12 18:44:42 * HH nods “love her, man. She’s really insightful for her age” Oct 12 18:45:20 * Morgan nods Oct 12 18:45:22 That she is Oct 12 18:48:26 Will ain’t far off from being able to come learn about the forge Oct 12 18:49:32 He'd probably enjoy that Oct 12 18:50:17 * HH nods “Lil Morgan does” Oct 12 18:50:39 * Morgan nods Oct 12 18:54:18 *he sees Lil Morgan a while later when he and HH are stood at the front of the church. He’s sat with his pregnant Mother and his sister, as well as Grunhelm and Ma. Ilena and the twins are with Verity, Adalbrecht and Varick. There are people from the village here, but all those with a strong connection to Dietlinde have either passed away or moved to other places whilst he’s been gone Oct 12 18:55:10 * Morgan sighs quietly Oct 12 18:57:17 *the door at the back opens, and Will and Connie come in. He’s scattering the rose petals appropriately, but she is holding her hands up like she’s a cat, and meowing quietly at the people as she passes. There’s some quiet giggling Oct 12 18:59:08 * Morgan smiles a little Oct 12 19:00:26 *She gets all the way to him before going to cuddle his legs Oct 12 19:01:05 * Morgan gently strokes her haor Oct 12 19:01:08 Hey sweetheart Oct 12 19:03:02 *Connie looks at him, then frowns and hugs him tighter Oct 12 19:04:02 * Morgan lifts her up Oct 12 19:04:07 Whats wrong sweetheart? Oct 12 19:05:25 C: Gorgon, why you feel sad? Oct 12 19:06:34 Thats tough to explain sweetheart Oct 12 19:08:34 *The doors open again, and Edward leads Molly in. Her dress is quite simple, hair and make up likewise. His heart might not have skipped a beat the moment they first met in Catherine’s dining room years ago, but it does now Oct 12 19:09:57 * Morgan smiles Oct 12 19:11:03 C: Now you happy, Gorgon Oct 12 19:11:31 * Morgan nods Oct 12 19:11:33 Yes I am Oct 12 19:12:01 *Molly smiles back at him, walking slowly so Edward can manage with his cane. He does look proud to be walking her down the aisle, but there are tears in his eyes too Oct 12 19:13:10 C: you marry Mama and be happy forever Oct 12 19:13:23 * Morgan nods Oct 12 19:13:25 Thats the plan Oct 12 19:15:15 *Edward bring Molly to him after Will makes Connie go to sit down with him* Oct 12 19:15:28 E: *he inclines his head* Oct 12 19:17:14 Thank you Oct 12 19:18:33 *Edward just nods, doing his bit before going to sit down. Molly stood smiling up at him smells absolutely amazing to him Oct 12 19:18:42 * HH is now known as Molly Oct 12 19:18:53 Hello love Oct 12 19:19:44 hello... I’ve missed you Oct 12 19:21:14 And I you Oct 12 19:24:31 *the ceremony starts and proceeds in the regular fashion. When he is asked about forsaking all others, it feels like a much bigger question. Is he ready to really let Dietlinde be at rest, and to start being a man who makes choices without mentally consulting for her approval? Everyone is watching him Oct 12 19:25:48 * Morgan takes a breath before nodding and saying "I do" Oct 12 19:28:56 * Molly smiles at him as she makes her vows, and then they are pronounced husband and wife. She kisses him, but the smell of her, and the abstinence of last night, make it difficult for him to hold himself in check Oct 12 19:29:43 * Morgan pulls away a little, looking at her Oct 12 19:31:01 * Molly is blushing, her pupils wide Oct 12 19:31:26 *people are clapping* Oct 12 19:32:08 * Morgan smiles, looking around Oct 12 19:35:08 *Everyone looks happy, and they go out into the sunshine. He’s given plenty of congratulations, and the carriage is waiting to take him and Molly back. But people are so busy chatting to him that it’s holding him up. He can see from Molly’s smile that she’s also keen to go home Oct 12 19:36:24 * Morgan makes his excuses to leave Oct 12 19:36:55 *Adalbrecht comes to speak to him just as Molly takes his hand* Oct 12 19:37:06 A: Congratulations to you both Oct 12 19:38:22 Thank you my lord Oct 12 19:39:11 A: A nice ceremony, I thought *he looks relaxed, like this isn’t going to be a rushed goodbye* Oct 12 19:39:20 * Morgan nods Oct 12 19:39:23 yes Oct 12 19:40:56 A: Lots of people have come Oct 12 19:41:04 * Molly gently squeezes his hand Oct 12 19:42:10 I noticed that Oct 12 19:43:26 A: They’ve just gone to open the tavern now, your drinks are on me. Let’s go, shall we? Oct 12 19:45:04 Uhhh... yes... yes okay Oct 12 19:45:25 *Adalbrecht laughs* I am messing with you, Morgan! Oct 12 19:45:49 * Molly smiles, squeezing his hand again Oct 12 19:46:41 * Morgan looks relieved Oct 12 19:46:46 Uncalled for if you ask me Oct 12 19:47:39 *Adalbrecht nods* Your Uncle did it to me too. Off you go. Oct 12 19:47:49 * Morgan nods Oct 12 19:47:51 Yes sir Oct 12 19:48:45 *Adalbrecht moves away* Oct 12 19:50:55 * Molly looks at him “Can we go? Right now? Please?” Oct 12 19:51:18 * Morgan nods Oct 12 19:51:19 Yes love Oct 12 19:52:49 * Molly nods, and the coachman opens the door Oct 12 19:53:05 * Morgan helps her in Oct 12 19:54:59 * Molly gets settled in, waiting for him Oct 12 19:55:09 * Morgan climbs in Oct 12 19:56:37 *she knocks on the roof, and the coach moves off. She watches him Oct 12 19:56:50 I thought we were going to be stuck there for hours! Oct 12 19:57:26 It was looking that way Oct 12 19:57:41 * Molly nods, sitting closer to him Oct 12 19:57:49 I was dreading that Oct 12 19:58:19 * Morgan nods Oct 12 19:58:22 Me too Oct 12 19:58:43 * Molly smiles Oct 12 19:59:04 How long will it take to get there? Oct 12 19:59:57 Not too long Oct 12 20:00:22 Any minutes feels too long right now! *she smiles* Oct 12 20:01:07 * Morgan nods Oct 12 20:01:08 I know Oct 12 20:05:29 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Oct 12 20:08:38 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Oct 12 20:09:32 I know Oct 12 20:10:35 * Molly waits only as far as there are unlikely to be nosey people looking in the windows before kissing him soundly Oct 12 20:10:50 * Morgan kisses her back Oct 12 20:14:34 *They do this all the way back, only stopping for the brief transition from carriage to bedroom. He carries her and puts her on the bed. As it had been the first time between them, their coupling is swift and urgent, and he’s definitely not as gentle as he thinks he normally would be. They lie side by side, still dressed and breathing hard Oct 12 20:14:40 Wow... Oct 12 20:14:55 * Morgan nods Oct 12 20:14:57 yeah Oct 12 20:15:09 how do you feel? Oct 12 20:16:48 Uhhh... spent? Oct 12 20:18:29 * Molly smiles fondly Oct 12 20:18:34 I meant being married Oct 12 20:18:57 * Morgan smiles Oct 12 20:19:00 Its good Oct 12 20:19:28 * Molly smiles warmly Oct 12 20:19:50 It is. I think we’re going to be very happy together Oct 12 20:20:18 * Morgan nods Oct 12 20:20:20 I think so Oct 12 20:20:37 * Molly nods Oct 12 20:20:52 It feels like this is how it was supposed to be with us... Oct 12 20:21:05 * Morgan nods Oct 12 20:21:07 aye Oct 12 20:22:09 I’m glad of Will and Connie, but I should never have married him Oct 12 20:22:38 * Morgan nods Oct 12 20:22:40 No... Oct 12 20:23:19 I am so glad we found each other again Oct 12 20:24:04 As am I Oct 12 20:25:26 * Molly smiles Oct 12 20:25:36 How long do you need to recover? Oct 12 20:26:10 You wish to go again? Oct 12 20:26:51 * Molly nods Oct 12 20:27:04 As soon as you’re ready, and maybe a bit slower? Oct 12 20:27:38 * Morgan nods Oct 12 20:27:39 Alright Oct 12 20:28:19 * Molly nods, shifting. This shifting in the dream is mirrored by her moving in reality, and he wakes up Oct 12 20:28:38 * Morgan yawns, looking around Oct 12 20:29:14 *it’s only just after two. Molly is warm against him Oct 12 20:30:40 * Morgan turns over, trying to settle Oct 12 20:34:44 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Oct 12 21:27:59 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
