**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Nov 2 17:41:09 2025 Nov 02 17:41:09 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Nov 02 17:43:50 uh uh. I will join you all in a minute Nov 02 17:43:50 * Molly releases his hand Nov 02 17:43:50 * Morgan frowns Nov 02 17:43:50 Why? Nov 02 17:43:50 Because that was two decent kicks to the bladder, and I really would prefer not to have a third happen here in the hallway! Nov 02 17:43:54 * Morgan nods Nov 02 17:43:56 Alright love Nov 02 17:43:58 I won’t be long Nov 02 17:44:00 * Morgan nods, letting go of her hand Nov 02 17:44:02 *She goes swiftly. He hears from down the hall, just as she opens the side door, her wince and say ‘Hirschen, please stop that a moment!” Nov 02 17:44:03 * Morgan smiles, going to start breakfast Nov 02 17:45:51 *Everyone except Mina and Edward are in here, though HH and Inga haven’t come to the house either. It’s quite a squeeze, and there looks to be plenty of food. Like in his dream, he stomach grumbles loudly Nov 02 17:46:19 Alright, calm down Nov 02 17:46:40 V: But Vati, we were being good! Nov 02 17:48:04 I was talking to my stomach Nov 02 17:49:01 *Varick laughs* F: Varick not good, but I good, Ballhead Nov 02 17:49:20 Oh right Nov 02 17:49:30 * Morgan winks at Varick Nov 02 17:50:02 *Varick rolls his eyes before glancing at Florrie* Nov 02 17:51:41 Chris: Is Molly still packing, dear boy? Nov 02 17:52:06 Answering a call of nature, since a certain someone was kicking her Nov 02 17:52:40 *They laugh, though Adalbrecht looks a little embarrassed Nov 02 17:52:55 F: where my Vati? Nov 02 17:55:36 I'm not sure sweetheart, I expect he'll be here soon Nov 02 17:56:34 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 02 17:56:53 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Nov 02 17:58:40 *They wait five more minutes, then Edward appears without Mina. He looks worn. Adalbrecht says archly “What time do you call this?! You've kept us waiting ” Nov 02 18:00:36 * Morgan rolls his eyes Nov 02 18:00:50 * Molly opens the door only a fraction after Adalbrecht says this. Whilst Edward's jaw ripples, Molly glances at it then looks her Father-in-law with a raised brow and a cool expression “In -my- home, everyone may come to the table when they wish… Unless you would like to scold a Duchess for lateness also?” Nov 02 18:02:55 *everyone seems to develop an interest in what food is on the table except Edward who looks tense, Adalbrecht who looks cross, Claudia who is watching Morgan, and Molly who is waiting for Adalbrecht to blow up Nov 02 18:03:20 * Morgan rolls his neck, eliciting an ugly crack Nov 02 18:03:47 That'll do thank you. Edward, show Mina to her seat please, Molly, to me. I'm not having us fall out today Nov 02 18:04:13 That'll do, thank you... Molly, to me please... Edward, where is Mina? Nov 02 18:05:12 * Molly does come docilely to his side. Adalbrecht looks irritated, but prepares to take his usual seat as everyone else gathers Nov 02 18:05:45 E: Mina is feeling unwell, I will take some to her shortly. We will not be leaving for Koln today. Nov 02 18:06:39 [bet you a guilder she's feeling sick...] Nov 02 18:07:01 [I wouldn’t bet against you, my love] Nov 02 18:07:37 * Morgan nods, pointing to Edwards chair Nov 02 18:07:50 Have a seat, once she's eaten Molly will go and check her over Nov 02 18:08:05 *everyone is waiting for Morgan to sit so they can* Nov 02 18:08:39 * Morgan sits down Nov 02 18:09:16 E: I think she would like a little privacy for now *he goes to his seat, and Florrie is immediately climbing up to sit on him. He smiles at her, but it doesn’t reach his eyes* Nov 02 18:09:42 [interesting that he thinks that will make any odds...] Nov 02 18:10:08 [its sweet he's so naive] Nov 02 18:10:47 * Molly gets seated, rubbing her belly as she looks over the food. Everyone else is chatting amongst themselves Nov 02 18:11:07 * Morgan eats a little so everyone else can Nov 02 18:11:52 * Molly looks the most grateful, eating the moment he’s taken the first mouthful. This makes Alice and Elsie in particular laugh Nov 02 18:12:07 Someone making you hungry? Nov 02 18:12:27 * Molly nods, eating another bite of toast Nov 02 18:12:55 Alice: It was like that with Florrie, except I couldn’t keep any of it down Nov 02 18:13:25 *Edward frowns, buttering toast for the little girl chatting away in his lap Nov 02 18:13:51 * Morgan smiles slightly, watching him Nov 02 18:14:52 *Everyone seems hungry, Molly most of all, but by the time they’ve made good headway with the food Edward has only drunk a little coffee* Nov 02 18:16:10 Eat, Edward, you'll be neither use nor ornament if you've no energy Nov 02 18:16:55 *Edward does eat a little, and holds Florrie close as she feeds him toast Nov 02 18:17:36 Walder: When do you want to talk about the house, Milord? Nov 02 18:17:54 * Morgan swallows some coffee, nodding Nov 02 18:17:58 Now, by all means... Nov 02 18:19:07 *Walder nods* We’ve got some rough plans, we thought maybe one big kitchen, two parlours, then bedrooms upstairs from each side Nov 02 18:19:20 *Elsie, Theresa, and James nod* Nov 02 18:20:11 Two parlours? Nov 02 18:21:16 James: What we want is essentially two joined cottages, and having one big room at the centre means we can congregate but still have our space Nov 02 18:21:53 * Morgan nods Nov 02 18:21:55 That makes sense Nov 02 18:23:14 * Molly nods, smiling “What about a laundry room, or a water closet?” Nov 02 18:24:38 *Theresa and Elsie smile* T: that would be nice, but it’s going to be more difficult Nov 02 18:25:01 [I imagine Notebook Nick might have some ideas] Nov 02 18:26:06 *Claudia seems to be keeping an eye on Edward and Uinise in turn. Uinise looks, as usual, completely at ease* Nov 02 18:26:33 $see what I mean?$ Nov 02 18:26:42 [you think it necessary?] Nov 02 18:27:00 $yeah. He’s in a sour mood though$ Nov 02 18:27:35 $Difficult day for him even before the embarrassment and lack of sleep$ Nov 02 18:28:44 [I would like to see how good he is. We still wish Claudia’s house, a forge, and a hot house made designed] *Unusually, there’s no teasing tone or glance at the mention of the hot house where she’d normally reference an old dream of his* Nov 02 18:28:51 $yeah true$ Nov 02 18:28:59 [alright] Nov 02 18:29:16 Edward, if you are staying here another day, could I impose on you to contact someone in the village? Nov 02 18:29:33 *Edward nods* You can. What do you need? Nov 02 18:30:16 There's someone who is something of a building designer... his input might be useful Nov 02 18:30:43 Florrie interrupts before Edward can answer, looking at Morgan: I stay with my Vati. Nov 02 18:31:53 Oh right Nov 02 18:32:57 *Alice looks to her* Florrie, let the grownups talk please. Nov 02 18:33:24 *Florrie sticks her tongue out at Alice. The adults try not to laugh5 Nov 02 18:33:45 Ed: What is his name? Nov 02 18:34:10 Nick... I'll give you the name of my contact later Nov 02 18:34:49 *Edward nods, looking distracted* Nov 02 18:35:19 Walder: Might he be able to look our plans over, make the place better? Nov 02 18:35:44 * Morgan nods Nov 02 18:36:02 Hopefully he can work out how to fit those rooms in Nov 02 18:36:36 *they all nod* Nov 02 18:36:44 F: Vati, where Wolfie? Nov 02 18:37:06 Ed: He’s in my chest Nov 02 18:37:46 *Florrie tries to look inside Edward’s shirt. Morgan sees his brother swallow hard* Nov 02 18:38:15 [my heart breaks for him] Nov 02 18:39:22 [aye, me too] Nov 02 18:40:29 F: I not see him. *Edward nods, kissing her crown* He’s in my luggage, Princess Nov 02 18:40:50 F: I want play Wolfie and pigs! Nov 02 18:41:16 *Edward nods, but he looks torn* Let’s see if we have time Nov 02 18:42:19 You can walk Molly up while you collect them Nov 02 18:43:15 * Molly glances at the rest of the food before nodding “That’s a good idea” Nov 02 18:43:34 Take some to eat on the way love... Nov 02 18:44:56 Edward nods: I need to speak with my schwesterlein anyway. I’ll be back soon *he squeezes Florrie before setting her down. Molly picks up two more triangles of toast before getting up* Nov 02 18:47:58 *Edward offers his arm to Molly, and she takes it, going from the room. It’s then that Morgan notices that he -doesn’t notice- the loss of the scent of her, because she doesn’t actually smell of much other than soap and rose water this morning Nov 02 18:48:47 [whats going on? I cant smell you as I did] Nov 02 18:49:18 [I was very thorough in my washing, and used a different soap to normal] Nov 02 18:49:47 [oh] Nov 02 18:50:40 [I thought you might appreciate it today] Nov 02 18:51:02 [yes and no] Nov 02 18:51:26 [Alright...] Nov 02 18:55:12 *there’s chatter about the journey times, and a guess at when James will return to Innesbruck, and what he will buy for Thomas in Freiburg. The relationships between Elsie and James, Walder and Theresa seem happy. Nov 02 18:56:17 *Florrie moves to Morgan’s lap, Alice has Emil on hers Nov 02 18:57:16 Hello sweetheart Nov 02 18:58:17 *Florrie smiles* Ballhead, we eat bluies today Nov 02 18:58:37 That'll be nice won't it Nov 02 18:59:14 Florrie: Make more bluies, more apples, more pink carnations Nov 02 18:59:26 * Morgan nods Nov 02 18:59:40 Good... I like the blues... Nov 02 18:59:56 *Emil tries to climb on the table, but Alice laughs* Nov 02 19:00:21 Adalbrecht: I assume we will go on as expected? Nov 02 19:01:23 Fair chance I'd say Nov 02 19:02:52 *Adalbrecht nods, finishing his breakfast as the others do. Florrie seems content with Morgan, so when it’s time for everything to be cleared away she says “We go garden see cherry trees now” Nov 02 19:03:54 Okay sweetheart, lets do that Nov 02 19:04:01 [I'm taking Florrie to the cherry trees Nov 02 19:04:17 [yes, okay] Nov 02 19:05:03 *It gets busy then as Heinrich turns up with Rickon and the three boys bustle from the house. Alice follows Morgan and Florrie with Emil* Nov 02 19:05:44 [hows ti going with Edward and Mina?] Nov 02 19:05:51 * Morgan heads toward the cherry trees Nov 02 19:06:30 *it takes a minute for him to get her reply [we need to talk.] Nov 02 19:07:01 [oh god, whats wrong?] Nov 02 19:07:28 *Florrie runs between the trees, touching them. His neck starts to prickle, but even without that, Emil’s excited Bahs! would have alerted him Nov 02 19:07:47 [She isn’t pregnant, her course has come] Nov 02 19:07:58 [shit] Nov 02 19:08:09 [yes] Nov 02 19:08:23 * Molly is now known as Alice Nov 02 19:08:27 [I really thought it would be this month] Nov 02 19:08:30 * Alice looks to Morgan Nov 02 19:08:56 Are you alright? You’re frowning more than normal Nov 02 19:09:07 [it was supposed to be!] Nov 02 19:09:13 I frown a lot though... Nov 02 19:09:18 * Alice smiles Nov 02 19:09:23 [I don't know what to do] Nov 02 19:09:29 thats why it’s more than normal Nov 02 19:09:55 [what can we even do?] Nov 02 19:10:18 [Find a short person and demand answers] Nov 02 19:10:26 I had a bad night... there's a lot going on Nov 02 19:10:31 [That... that is a good idea] Nov 02 19:10:49 * Alice nods Nov 02 19:10:58 Feels like the calm before the storm Nov 02 19:11:16 It does rather, doesn't it Nov 02 19:11:34 * Alice nods Nov 02 19:11:57 I don’t know who is more likely to be the storm, Florrie or Edward Nov 02 19:12:26 * Morgan nods Nov 02 19:12:30 He's had a rough night himself Nov 02 19:12:38 [I am going to join you, I think] Nov 02 19:13:04 How come? He seemed fairly relaxed when the rest of us got back from the tavern Nov 02 19:13:51 He's been brooding on parting from Florrie... amongst other things Nov 02 19:14:15 *he notices the trees getting a little bigger each time, and one of them has much riper cherries than the others Nov 02 19:14:25 Other things? Nov 02 19:14:48 * Morgan nods Nov 02 19:15:01 I cant say I'm afraid Nov 02 19:15:15 * Alice nods Nov 02 19:15:26 I respect a man who can keep his mouth shut Nov 02 19:16:28 * Morgan nods Nov 02 19:17:27 *he can feel Molly’s anger before he can feel her getting nearby* Nov 02 19:18:02 Listen, can you watch this pair? There's something I need to see to Nov 02 19:18:28 * Alice smirks “yes, that’s fine” Nov 02 19:18:52 * Morgan nods, concentrating on the Nibelungen before heading to intercept Molly Nov 02 19:19:35 *He sees her walking across the garden towards the cherry trees, shoulders squared Nov 02 19:19:53 * Morgan heads for her to angle away from the others Nov 02 19:20:05 * Alice is now known as Molly Nov 02 19:20:16 * Molly looks serious, unimpressed Nov 02 19:20:46 Come on then, lets get this done Nov 02 19:21:58 * Molly nods, looking around for the Nibelungen. Morgan spots movement between the trees on the far left of the garden, but not before Ballard does, streaking across the grass and barking loudly Nov 02 19:22:16 * Morgan whistles to the dog, moving in that direction Nov 02 19:22:34 *Ballard stops, looking back to Morgan before barking* Nov 02 19:23:40 Here... Nov 02 19:24:04 *Ballard comes to heel, but watches warily back at the trees* Nov 02 19:24:37 * Morgan moves toward the trees Nov 02 19:25:44 *One of the Nibelungen is waiting there* Nov 02 19:27:26 * Morgan leads Molly to him Nov 02 19:28:07 * Molly looks cross, but still glances to Morgan to see how he wants to handle it Nov 02 19:28:40 * Morgan watches the Nieblungen, looking decidedly neutral Nov 02 19:28:47 Mina was supposed to fall pregnant this month... Nov 02 19:29:01 N: That is what we saw Nov 02 19:30:41 * Molly puts her hands on her hips “Well that has not been the case, has it? What do you see now?!” Nov 02 19:30:56 N: We are struggling to see the paths. Nov 02 19:33:05 * Molly shakes her head, throwing up her hands in exasperation “Every time something goes wrong, you cannot see the paths!” Nov 02 19:34:04 N: We think it is because you wander, and your son obscures some of it Nov 02 19:34:38 Thats not good enough Nov 02 19:35:28 * Molly puts a hand on her stomach Nov 02 19:35:50 N: we cannot do more than we are to see Nov 02 19:37:08 You aren't the only one who told me when they would have a child... so this has nothing to do with what you can or cannot see, or Molly's wandering... Nov 02 19:37:36 N: We do not know Nov 02 19:37:58 * Molly says quietly “Sometimes I -really- don’t like you.” Nov 02 19:38:16 N: We know Nov 02 19:39:27 *Ballard moves from Morgan’s side despite the command, coming to sit right at Molly’s feet between her and the Nibelungen, watching it intently Nov 02 19:40:04 You're proving to be less than helpful... Nov 02 19:40:24 N: what help do you want? Nov 02 19:40:52 I want to know -why- she isn't pregnant... I want to know what changed... Nov 02 19:41:28 N: *it is quiet a moment* We do not know Nov 02 19:41:40 * Molly looks to Morgan “I have my suspicions.” Nov 02 19:41:44 What? Nov 02 19:42:42 Her course was due on Friday. If the time of her fertility was a few days early too, they likely missed it, or at least had not been active enough Nov 02 19:43:12 Something the all powerful Nieblungen should have been able to see. Nov 02 19:44:03 * Molly nods Nov 02 19:44:19 It is. I am angry about it. Nov 02 19:44:35 N: *it actually looks a little uneasy* Nov 02 19:45:08 Perhaps we'll just pack our entire family up and sail off somewhere hot and sunny where the deity gives a damn... Nov 02 19:45:42 N: *it looks concerned* That would not be the best path Nov 02 19:46:19 I don’t know that we care that much about the damned paths right now! Nov 02 19:46:35 *the Nibelungen flinches* Nov 02 19:46:36 No... no I don't think we do... Nov 02 19:47:19 * Molly looks to him “We could be in Capperlucia before he’s born. God know they have better medical care there!” Nov 02 19:47:53 N: Wait! We will try to do what we can to make her pregnant! Nov 02 19:48:24 You've been very little use so far, why should I put any faith in you now? Nov 02 19:48:52 N: Because we have the same goal Nov 02 19:49:47 * Molly laughs harshly “Your goal has always been -your goal-. As long as we obey, you do not give a damn about what -we- want!” Nov 02 19:50:06 * Morgan watches the Nieblungen Nov 02 19:50:56 *it looks a bit more uneasy* N: But saving the world... Nov 02 19:54:11 You do not even -get- how much hurt you’ve caused! *she shakes her head, turning to look away from the Nibelungen* How can we trust you when you are so very impotent? Nov 02 19:54:36 *The Nibelungen actually looks ashamed now* Nov 02 19:55:00 * Morgan just watches it quietly Nov 02 19:57:34 * Molly squares her shoulders “You will do what you can to ensure she is pregnant as soon as possible, and when you start to foresee when it will be, you will come to tell us. You are at the very limits of our cooperation.” She looks at the grey creature not much taller than her eldest son “Is there... an understanding... between us?” Nov 02 19:58:09 *it nods* Yes Nov 02 19:58:38 * Molly nods, glancing at Morgan Nov 02 19:59:18 * Morgan nods slightly Nov 02 20:00:15 * Molly doesn’t say goodbye to it, nor thank it for coming. She just turns on her heel and walks off. Nov 02 20:00:29 * Morgan follows her, calling to Bär Nov 02 20:00:47 *The dog barks briefly before following him Nov 02 20:02:39 * Morgan catches up to Molly Nov 02 20:03:28 * Molly is talking quietly, rubbing her belly “You are perfect, just as you are, and I love you so much” Nov 02 20:04:00 * Morgan grabs her arm, pulling her to a stop before putting his arms around her Nov 02 20:04:17 * Molly immediately sobs against his chest Nov 02 20:05:13 Its alright.... Nov 02 20:05:47 * Molly holds tightly around his waist, their child safely encased within their embrace Nov 02 20:05:55 I hate them! Nov 02 20:06:08 Yeah, I know Nov 02 20:07:11 * Molly ‘s cries quickly start to settle before she tries to pull away “sorry” Nov 02 20:08:56 No, its fine Nov 02 20:10:09 * Molly looks up at him Nov 02 20:10:21 I was harsh, please do not hate me for it Nov 02 20:10:41 He got less than he deserved Nov 02 20:11:06 * Molly nods, just resting her forehead to his chest Nov 02 20:11:13 It’s so unfair Nov 02 20:12:09 Yes it is Nov 02 20:12:29 Edward is so upset Nov 02 20:13:29 I'm not surprised Nov 02 20:13:38 Its the last bloody thing he needed today Nov 02 20:13:52 * Molly nods Nov 02 20:14:42 He’s losing his daughter and now he’s losing what he thought would be the beginning of them being parents together Nov 02 20:15:20 * Morgan nods Nov 02 20:15:21 I know Nov 02 20:15:44 Fortunately, Mina is only a little disappointed Nov 02 20:16:38 Oh? Nov 02 20:17:17 She is convinced that what you said about knowing by your birthday means that she will not conceive until late summer Nov 02 20:18:37 Not what I meant but Edward insisted I be vague Nov 02 20:18:43 * Molly nods Nov 02 20:18:57 I am glad for her that she thinks that Nov 02 20:19:48 * Morgan nods Nov 02 20:19:50 Me too Nov 02 20:20:42 * Molly squeezes him gently “I wish we had an answer for them” Nov 02 20:21:41 * Morgan nods Nov 02 20:22:21 I might see if I can reach a certain... capperlucian... Nov 02 20:23:11 * Molly nods. He can still smell the pregnancy scent from her hair, but it’s more mixed with roses Nov 02 20:23:32 I do not think Theus is in any rush to answer these prayers. Nov 02 20:23:51 Well, he can come and fix his bullshit himself Nov 02 20:24:30 * Molly nods quietly before saying “Alright... I have work to do.” Nov 02 20:24:36 * Morgan nods Nov 02 20:24:38 Alright love Nov 02 20:24:52 What are we doing about leaving? Nov 02 20:25:04 I don't know... father is desperate to get moving but... Nov 02 20:25:33 But part of you wishes to stay for Edward? Nov 02 20:26:18 * Morgan nods Nov 02 20:27:54 * Molly nods, taking his hand Nov 02 20:28:07 Will you come back with me? Nov 02 20:28:37 If you want Nov 02 20:28:55 * Molly frowns a little, scrutinising his expression Nov 02 20:29:01 Is all well between us? Nov 02 20:29:40 * Morgan nods Nov 02 20:29:47 I'm just... angry... Nov 02 20:30:02 * Molly nods, starting to walk towards the house Nov 02 20:30:20 where else have you had information from? Nov 02 20:31:04 Madchen... Nov 02 20:31:12 * Molly nods slowly Nov 02 20:31:15 I see Nov 02 20:33:09 * Morgan nods a little Nov 02 20:33:50 * Molly stays quiet as they walk a bit, but knowing her as he does he can almost hear her brain whirring away in her head Nov 02 20:35:00 * Morgan waits quietly Nov 02 20:35:17 I trust our daughter. Nov 02 20:36:40 * Morgan nods Nov 02 20:36:43 So whats happened? Nov 02 20:37:41 Babies are unpredictable, firsts are usually a little late... *Jana had been a week later than expected* Nov 02 20:38:57 That makes no sense.... This would make their child early... Nov 02 20:39:37 She would have been due in the first few days of February... but what if the baby is not actually late? Nov 02 20:40:04 * Morgan shrugs Nov 02 20:40:06 I don't know Nov 02 20:41:15 * Molly looks thoughtful Nov 02 20:41:42 Based on her course beginning today, she would be due in the last few days of February... Nov 02 20:42:15 * Morgan shrugs Nov 02 20:42:46 The baby could be on time, and still February as Madchen says Nov 02 20:43:42 Maybe Nov 02 20:43:58 * Molly nods to herself Nov 02 20:44:48 Alright then. They will begin marital congress once her course is over, and do so every other day until the next comes, if it does. Nov 02 20:45:35 Thats up to them Nov 02 20:45:49 * Molly nods Nov 02 20:45:53 I suppose so... Nov 02 20:48:12 * Molly is quiet again a little longer before she says “I think we should tell Mina what I can do.” Nov 02 20:48:55 I agree Nov 02 20:49:38 * Molly nods Nov 02 20:49:47 And I should check they are both well Nov 02 20:50:00 * Morgan nods Nov 02 20:50:01 alright Nov 02 20:50:44 * Molly nods, smiling “That is what I will do then. I assume you wish to come with me?” Nov 02 20:51:20 I think that best Nov 02 20:52:22 * Molly nods. She stops him this time, looking up at him. She looks convicted, unbroken by this all now that the immediate anger has passed “It’s going to be alright, liebling “ Nov 02 20:53:25 * Morgan shrugs Nov 02 20:53:27 We'll see Nov 02 20:54:02 Would a little you-know-what take the edge off? Nov 02 20:55:07 No... no thank you Nov 02 20:55:21 * Molly nods Nov 02 20:56:06 Shall we, then? If your Father needs something to do he can go Heinzharold’s Nov 02 20:56:37 * Morgan nods Nov 02 20:57:14 * Molly heads indoors and up towards Edward and Mina’s room Nov 02 20:58:39 * Morgan follows her quietly Nov 02 20:59:04 * Molly lets go and taps gently, entering when Mina calls to come in Nov 02 20:59:37 * Morgan follows her Nov 02 21:00:05 *Mina is alone, sat in a soft chair with some needlework Nov 02 21:00:19 M: Good morning Nov 02 21:00:51 No Edward? Nov 02 21:01:15 M: *she shakes her head* He is with his daughter, which is where he needs to be right now Nov 02 21:02:48 * Molly takes another chair. Morgan is going to be left with the options of standing, sitting on the floor, or sitting on the bed Nov 02 21:03:22 * Morgan stays standing Nov 02 21:03:41 [I am concerned about his reaction if we tell her without his consent] Nov 02 21:04:03 [do you need to find him? I’ll talk about the dates] Nov 02 21:05:08 I'll just go find him... I'll be back in a moment Nov 02 21:05:32 * Molly and Mina both nod Nov 02 21:08:03 * Morgan goes in search of Edward Nov 02 21:08:20 * Molly is now known as Edward Nov 02 21:08:48 * Edward is found out in the garden just him and Florrie and Wolfie and the pigs Nov 02 21:09:39 Brother... Nov 02 21:09:50 * Edward looks up at Morgan Nov 02 21:09:52 yes? Nov 02 21:09:57 We need to talk Nov 02 21:10:21 * Edward nods, handing the puppet to Florrie Nov 02 21:10:37 You can be Wolfie for a few minutes, my princess Nov 02 21:11:19 *Florrie grins, putting it on her hand and making loud threatening growls at the pigs. Edward stands smoothly and moves away from her a little Nov 02 21:12:37 * Morgan moves with him Nov 02 21:13:22 * Edward just looks very grim Nov 02 21:15:11 How can I help? Nov 02 21:15:30 * Edward smiles slightly Nov 02 21:15:37 You cannot Nov 02 21:16:15 * Morgan looks sad Nov 02 21:16:47 Molly says if the child is not late, late February is still entirely possible Nov 02 21:17:16 * Edward nods “I understand “ Nov 02 21:17:44 * Morgan closes his eyes a moment Nov 02 21:17:51 Molly wants to tell Mina about her abilities... Nov 02 21:18:03 * Edward just nods Nov 02 21:18:19 I said your consent should be sought Nov 02 21:18:35 You have it. Nov 02 21:19:10 * Morgan pulls him into a hug Nov 02 21:19:23 * Edward hugs him, but it’s not very tight Nov 02 21:20:15 * Morgan lets him go, pushing him toward Florrie Nov 02 21:20:16 Go on Nov 02 21:20:51 * Edward nods “send her my love please, let her know that I am thinking of her as I always am” Nov 02 21:21:11 Of course Nov 02 21:21:47 * Edward inclines his head “The ship has to keep sailing, no matter how wearied or miserable her Captain” Nov 02 21:22:41 I know anything I say will sound cliched, and bring you no comfort right now so... I love you. Nov 02 21:23:13 * Edward nods, smiling “That will suffice, brother” Nov 02 21:23:27 * Morgan nods, leaving him and heading back into the house Nov 02 21:24:02 *The others must be busy, because he gets a few minutes to himself as he passes alone through the halls* Nov 02 21:24:24 * Morgan just trudges along quietly, thinking about Volla Nov 02 21:24:58 *he notices that Claudia and Uinise’s door is ajar Nov 02 21:25:52 * Morgan slows, listening Nov 02 21:26:29 *it is silent, the drapes still drawn, and the smell of the Capperlucian incense is present Nov 02 21:26:42 * Morgan knocks quietly Nov 02 21:26:49 *theres no answer* Nov 02 21:27:00 * Morgan nudges the door open Nov 02 21:27:13 *it’s empty, beds neatly made Nov 02 21:27:40 * Morgan sighs Nov 02 21:28:13 *if a smell could be peaceful, that is what this dim room would be Nov 02 21:28:45 God I could do with your help Nov 02 21:29:33 *though the room is empty that he can see, he doesn’t feel entirely alone Nov 02 21:30:53 We need your help... -they- need your help Nov 02 21:31:36 *he hears a faint familiar voice in his head* Come and sit, little one. Rest yourself. Nov 02 21:31:42 * Edward is now known as Volla Nov 02 21:32:06 * Morgan sits down, crossing his legs and closing his eyes Nov 02 21:32:30 *it almost feels like someone is sat in front of him Nov 02 21:32:34 What do you need? Nov 02 21:33:16 My brother is distraught... the Nieblungen are -useless-... Nov 02 21:34:03 They have all the limitations of many of their kind. What would soothe him? Nov 02 21:34:41 I just don't know... he seems like a broken man right now Nov 02 21:35:02 He seeks a child... Nov 02 21:35:17 * Morgan nods Nov 02 21:35:49 Nieblungen and... my own child from years to come told me theirs would be born in February but her course has come... Nov 02 21:36:17 You would like me to help them have a child Nov 02 21:37:40 * Morgan frowns Nov 02 21:37:52 I don't know how that'd sit with my brother... he's... blindly faithful Nov 02 21:38:15 Oh little one... I won’t tell him if you won’t! Nov 02 21:40:08 What can you do? Nov 02 21:40:25 I recall you refusing to help heal my wound because Theus wouldn't like it... Nov 02 21:41:16 I think perhaps Theus is elsewhen. Nov 02 21:42:43 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 02 21:59:07 * Volla has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
