**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Nov 3 18:57:57 2025 Nov 03 18:57:57 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Nov 03 18:58:23 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Nov 03 18:58:43 *it almost feels like someone is sat in front of him Nov 03 18:58:43 What do you need? Nov 03 18:58:43 My brother is distraught... the Nieblungen are -useless-... Nov 03 18:58:43 They have all the limitations of many of their kind. What would soothe him? Nov 03 18:58:46 I just don't know... he seems like a broken man right now Nov 03 18:58:48 He seeks a child... Nov 03 18:58:50 * Morgan nods Nov 03 18:58:52 Nieblungen and... my own child from years to come told me theirs would be born in February but her course has come... Nov 03 18:58:54 You would like me to help them have a child Nov 03 18:58:56 * Morgan frowns Nov 03 18:58:58 I don't know how that'd sit with my brother... he's... blindly faithful Nov 03 18:59:00 Oh little one... I won’t tell him if you won’t! Nov 03 18:59:02 What can you do? Nov 03 18:59:04 I recall you refusing to help heal my wound because Theus wouldn't like it... Nov 03 18:59:06 I think perhaps Theus is elsewhen. Nov 03 19:00:55 * Morgan nods as if this was obvious Nov 03 19:01:31 Tell me, how long did you pray for his help before asking for mine? Nov 03 19:03:46 When you get ignored so often, you stop asking Nov 03 19:04:04 * Molly is now known as Volla Nov 03 19:05:14 I think you should leave the situation to develop as it should, and prepare to spend the late winter in Graben Nov 03 19:06:08 * Morgan nods, sighing Nov 03 19:07:47 There will be a child for them, I am certain Nov 03 19:08:24 * Morgan nods Nov 03 19:08:30 Its hurting him so much Nov 03 19:08:54 It is hard to -want- as humans do Nov 03 19:09:38 * Morgan nods Nov 03 19:09:39 It is Nov 03 19:10:19 He will find strength in his faith Nov 03 19:11:29 Must be nice Nov 03 19:13:11 I found it always used to bring out the best and the worst in my worshippers Nov 03 19:15:00 Yeah, some people use it as an excuse to beat others about with it Nov 03 19:17:42 Some peoples were made that way. Some had Gods and Goddesses that encouraged them to fight Nov 03 19:19:52 I think many just use it as an excuse... its not like Theus was down here winding us all up Nov 03 19:21:00 He does not deserve you, little one. Maybe your brother would benefit from you praying with him Nov 03 19:22:19 * Morgan shrugs Nov 03 19:22:40 I don't think anyone deserves to have me inflicted upon them... and right now I'm just a bit too angry to be praying to an absent father figure Nov 03 19:24:03 How about some blueberries? Nov 03 19:24:13 Might be an idea Nov 03 19:24:20 Hands out then Nov 03 19:24:46 * Morgan frowns a little, holding out his hands Nov 03 19:25:18 *he suddenly feels his hands full, then overflowing with the little fruits Nov 03 19:25:58 Thank you Nov 03 19:26:34 You’re welcome Nov 03 19:27:43 * Morgan sighs Nov 03 19:27:52 I suppose I'd better get back to Molly Nov 03 19:28:46 You can call upon me. If Theus decides he doesn’t like that, he can put in an appearance. Nov 03 19:30:08 I daresay your sibling disagreements are a bit more spectacular than ours Nov 03 19:31:49 *she laughs* They have ripped apart continents and split seas, but generally there are sons of sulking first Nov 03 19:31:59 eons* Nov 03 19:33:53 Childish... Nov 03 19:34:35 Very much so. Many of my kind have phenomenal power with all the pettiness of young humans Nov 03 19:34:56 * Morgan sighs, shaking his head Nov 03 19:34:58 Its disappointing Nov 03 19:35:16 I imagine so Nov 03 19:39:27 * Morgan nods Nov 03 19:39:32 I'd better get back... Molly's waiting for me Nov 03 19:40:06 yes, you should Nov 03 19:41:10 Thank you for coming... it means much to me Nov 03 19:44:23 you’re welcome *he feels her presence fade* Nov 03 19:44:35 * Morgan sighs, opening his eyes Nov 03 19:45:29 *He has a lot of blueberries to contend with now Nov 03 19:46:58 * Morgan tries to find something to put them in Nov 03 19:47:10 *he manages to find a wooden box Nov 03 19:47:23 * Morgan eats a few before carrying it towards Mina's room Nov 03 19:49:36 *They taste just like his ones from Hafenlohr that she’d given him and Florrie had grown, calming.* Nov 03 19:50:20 * Morgan knocks when he gets there Nov 03 19:50:54 *Mina calls for him to come in. Someone has brought them coffee, and there’s a spare cup Nov 03 19:51:19 * Morgan shuts the door, eating the last loose blueberry Nov 03 19:51:55 *the two women smile at him* Mina: Will you join us for coffee? Nov 03 19:52:42 * Morgan nods, pouring his own cup Nov 03 19:53:31 Mina smiles a little as she watches him: How are you, big brother? Nov 03 19:54:29 I've had better days little sister... how are you? Nov 03 19:56:03 Mina nods: As well as we ladies usually are when we’re inconvenienced Nov 03 19:57:22 * Morgan nods sadly Nov 03 19:57:32 * Volla is now known as Mina Nov 03 19:59:13 It is unfortunate, I had hoped we’d be in Fischler before it occurred Nov 03 20:00:49 * Morgan nods, looking to Molly Nov 03 20:00:53 He gave his consent Nov 03 20:01:16 [but I've been advised to let it run its course and plan to be in Graben for late winter] Nov 03 20:01:17 *Molly nods, but Mina looks at Morgan curiously* Nov 03 20:02:01 [Then this month should be the one!] Nov 03 20:02:32 [indeed] Nov 03 20:03:14 Consent to what? Nov 03 20:03:32 We... need to tell you something... Nov 03 20:04:16 * Mina nods, sipping her coffee Nov 03 20:07:08 * Morgan looks to Molly briefly Nov 03 20:07:21 Lets talk about... what Rief could do... and your feelings about it Nov 03 20:09:04 Rief could shapeshift. As a young child, I found it fun and interesting. I was more wary after he bit me which left very bad scarring *In his dreams he’s seen it, touched it, kissed it* Nov 03 20:09:47 * Morgan nods slowly Nov 03 20:10:02 And magic to you doesn't hold that... terror that it does for most Eiseners? Nov 03 20:11:04 No, I don’t think it does Nov 03 20:12:29 Good... Molly has... an ability... Nov 03 20:12:49 * Mina looks Molly briefly with interest Nov 03 20:12:53 what is it? Nov 03 20:13:49 Her talent as a medic isn't entirely mundane... Nov 03 20:16:09 * Mina looks surprised “That’s why it was so important to be here for the twins being delivered” Nov 03 20:16:51 * Morgan nods Nov 03 20:16:59 The little girl would have died... Nov 03 20:17:46 * Mina looks to Molly Nov 03 20:19:15 You saved her life? Nov 03 20:19:34 *Molly nods* Yes, but with Morgan’s help Nov 03 20:20:23 I didn't do anything Nov 03 20:20:59 Molly: You did. If it hadn’t been for what you’d done with Hope, I wouldn’t have thought of that Nov 03 20:22:20 * Morgan shrugs a little Nov 03 20:23:21 * Mina to Molly “How many lives have you saved?” Nov 03 20:23:54 *Molly looks thoughtful* I would have to properly consider it, I’m not sure Nov 03 20:24:13 * Mina smiles at Morgan “That’s very impressive, isn’t it?” Nov 03 20:24:37 * Morgan nods Nov 03 20:24:52 I've always thought so... Elsie and Thomas would not be here if not for her... nor me... Nov 03 20:25:42 I am glad you all are Nov 03 20:25:58 * Morgan nods Nov 03 20:26:00 As am I Nov 03 20:26:09 Molly: I wouldn’t have been able to nurse Emil without it Nov 03 20:26:55 * Mina nods “I wondered how it was possible to nurse without a pregnancy” Nov 03 20:27:33 *Molly smiles* I was already in early pregnancy then, we just didn’t know Nov 03 20:29:07 Though... there really are herbs in Capperlucia that can induce it... they use it on the men there Nov 03 20:30:05 * Mina ‘s expression shows a disgust that magic did not give Nov 03 20:30:20 I do not like the thought of that! Nov 03 20:31:06 No, it was a little bit out of my comfort zone Nov 03 20:31:43 *Molly smiles* It was very sweet. The men there are much softer, more like women Nov 03 20:36:14 * Mina looks at Morgan “You didn’t...?” Nov 03 20:38:47 *Molly starts giggling* Nov 03 20:39:45 Good lord no... I didn't wear the skirt thing either Nov 03 20:40:56 * Mina laughs too then, and smiles at Morgan “I have been told that they were useful, but that the undergarment can easily be ripped” Nov 03 20:41:09 *Molly blushes at this* Nov 03 20:42:31 * Morgan nods Nov 03 20:42:32 indeed Nov 03 20:43:05 Why are you telling me now? Nov 03 20:44:00 Molly? Nov 03 20:45:29 Molly: I wondered if you would like me to check you and Edward are well for conceiving. I can also reduce any discomfort you presently have Nov 03 20:45:46 * Mina looks to Morgan “what has Edward said about that?” Nov 03 20:46:36 Nothing... but he's not sad we shouldn't... I don't imagine he'd want you in discomfort Nov 03 20:46:47 * Mina nods Nov 03 20:47:03 Will it take long? Nov 03 20:48:23 *Molly shakes her head* It won’t. If I found something that could be helped, would you wish me to do it? Nov 03 20:49:05 * Mina thinks “I think Edward should be involved in such a decision” Nov 03 20:49:32 *Molly looks thoughtful* Nov 03 20:51:09 If that is what you wish... Nov 03 20:51:29 I would not do something important without his permission Nov 03 20:52:25 *Molly tilts her head slightly* Nov 03 20:52:53 Do you know where he is, Morgan? Nov 03 20:53:27 I've an idea, yes... Nov 03 20:54:05 Would you ask him, please? Nov 03 20:54:51 * Morgan nods, putting his coffee Nov 03 20:54:52 down Nov 03 20:54:55 Of course Nov 03 20:55:50 Thank you Nov 03 20:56:17 I won't be long Nov 03 20:56:31 * Morgan heads out of the door, heading for Edward [What are we going to do about leaving?] Nov 03 20:58:47 [we will do whatever you wish, my love. I see merits to both] Nov 03 20:59:21 [quite... but I can see it piling more heartbreak on Edwards already slumped shoulders] Nov 03 21:00:47 [Yes, though will it drag out the parting for the children?] Nov 03 21:01:03 [possibly... it'd give Varick another day to play with both his friends...] Nov 03 21:02:14 [It seems your heart is already decided, my love] Nov 03 21:02:53 [I don't know] Nov 03 21:05:30 [You could discuss it with him?] Nov 03 21:06:59 [I suppose so Nov 03 21:08:18 [her automatic deferral to his decision about her body surprised me] Nov 03 21:09:11 [I don't think ti surprised me to be honest] Nov 03 21:11:12 [You expected that she’d submit to him in this?] Nov 03 21:11:31 *he sees Edward still outside with Florrie and the puppet* Nov 03 21:11:42 [yes, frankly] Nov 03 21:11:45 Edward... Nov 03 21:12:57 [alright, my love] Nov 03 21:13:03 * Mina is now known as Edward Nov 03 21:13:10 * Edward looks up “yes?” Nov 03 21:13:21 A moment... Nov 03 21:13:37 *Florrie looks cross* Ballhead, we playing! Nov 03 21:15:34 I know sweetheart, I'm sorry Nov 03 21:16:57 I’ll just be a moment *he gets up going with Morgan, but Florrie crosses her arms, watching them with a pout. In this expression, he sees much more of a childhood-Edward than of Jana* Nov 03 21:17:19 * Morgan speaks quietly Nov 03 21:17:55 Three things... we've told Mina about Molly... Molly's going to check her over and has offered to aid her with anything that may need dealing with... Mina wants your consent... Nov 03 21:18:56 * Edward nods Nov 03 21:19:04 How did she take it? Nov 03 21:19:36 Like a woman who grew up with a shapeshifting cousin... she was more horrified by the thought of the herbs that help men breastfeed in Capperlucia Nov 03 21:20:07 * Edward smiles faintly “She is uneasy about breastfeeding at all, so that is no surprise” Nov 03 21:20:24 * Morgan nods Nov 03 21:20:48 Second, I'm going to upset father greatly... but it'll mean you don't have to be parted from your daughter today of all days... Nov 03 21:21:05 You are planning to stay? Nov 03 21:21:38 Just another day Nov 03 21:22:12 * Edward nods thoughtfully “Very well. You’ll be going to Father next?” Nov 03 21:22:19 * Morgan shrugs Nov 03 21:22:25 Maybe... here, have some blueberries... Nov 03 21:22:30 * Morgan opens the box Nov 03 21:22:42 * Edward takes a handful “Thank you” Nov 03 21:23:07 F: What you got, Ballhead? Nov 03 21:24:07 Got some bluies sweetheart... want to plant them with your Vati for me? Nov 03 21:24:22 *Florrie nods* I plant and eat! Nov 03 21:24:52 * Morgan nods, handing Edward a fair amount Nov 03 21:24:58 There we go, I'll take the rest with me Nov 03 21:25:19 * Edward smiles, eating me before saying “Thank you, brother. Assure my wife I am happy and confident that any treatment she will be given is appropriate and safe” Nov 03 21:26:48 * Morgan nods Nov 03 21:27:01 Thirdly... later, I would like us to pray together... Nov 03 21:28:18 * Edward smiles “I would like that. I need to speak to your contact about the builder too” Nov 03 21:29:28 I can probably take care of that Nov 03 21:30:37 * Edward nods, eating another blueberry Nov 03 21:32:01 I can entrust informing everyone to you? I want to enjoy the time I have Nov 03 21:32:16 * Morgan nods Nov 03 21:32:17 aye Nov 03 21:33:14 * Edward goes to Florrie “Where shall we plant all of these?!” Nov 03 21:33:51 * Morgan closes the box, heading inside Nov 03 21:34:34 [Edward says to reassure her that he is happy and confident that any treatment she is given is appropriate and safe... not sure you'll be able to tell her that but I need to inform my father of the change in plans] Nov 03 21:35:00 [I wonder if HeinzHarold and Inga will want to go on] Nov 03 21:35:49 [I might tell her that we can talk like this. You’d need to go down and find out *this doesn’t sound like her usual suggestiveness*] Nov 03 21:36:47 * Morgan frowns a little Nov 03 21:36:54 [I'll add it to my list of things to do] Nov 03 21:37:49 [I am sorry that you have so much to do] Nov 03 21:38:47 [such is life] Nov 03 21:38:52 * Morgan goes looking for his father Nov 03 21:40:23 *she says [it is never otherwise] a callback to a conversation they had about that saying on the Rose whilst they were still so careful with their feelings* Nov 03 21:41:20 * Morgan frowns Nov 03 21:41:23 *Adalbrecht is found with Yensid in the coachyard, and he’s telling Walder how to best arrange the trunks as if the man hasn’t been doing it for years* Nov 03 21:41:43 * Morgan calls to him Nov 03 21:42:40 * Edward is now known as Adalbrecht Nov 03 21:42:47 * Adalbrecht turns to look at him Nov 03 21:42:59 A word... Nov 03 21:43:08 * Adalbrecht comes over to him Nov 03 21:43:40 *his neck prickles slightly* Nov 03 21:44:44 There's been a change of plans Nov 03 21:45:24 * Adalbrecht frowns Nov 03 21:45:34 what? Nov 03 21:45:59 * Morgan watches him for a moment before offering him some blueberries Nov 03 21:46:18 Mina's course has come... Edward is devastated... I cannot take his child from him today Nov 03 21:46:26 * Adalbrecht takes a couple Nov 03 21:46:32 That is a big disappointment Nov 03 21:46:53 * Morgan nods Nov 03 21:46:59 Very much so Nov 03 21:47:09 * Adalbrecht sighs Nov 03 21:47:44 I am sad that they are not having a child. They’ve been married several months now Nov 03 21:48:46 Their struggles have not been conducive to it... I am... assured... their time is coming Nov 03 21:48:58 * Adalbrecht nods, sighing Nov 03 21:50:02 I would have liked him spared this month disappointment, i know well the pain of that. Nov 03 21:51:08 I'm sorry it disrupts the plans so much but... it would be cruel to go, and I am not cruel. Nov 03 21:52:15 * Adalbrecht looks at the carriage “Everyone is fully packed” Nov 03 21:53:18 * Morgan nods Nov 03 21:53:19 I know Nov 03 21:53:27 * Adalbrecht sighs Nov 03 21:54:29 I suppose one of us had better deal with it all then Nov 03 21:55:54 *his neck prickles again* Nov 03 21:56:16 Perhaps... later... you'd like to join Edward and I in prayer? Nov 03 21:57:08 * Adalbrecht nods “Yes, I will do that” Nov 03 21:57:56 Thank you... I've got a few things to take care of Nov 03 21:58:14 * Adalbrecht nods Nov 03 21:58:40 Is Molly helping Mina? Nov 03 21:59:23 * Morgan nods Nov 03 21:59:39 Aye, she is Nov 03 22:01:07 * Adalbrecht nods, smiling “Good. Go on then” Nov 03 22:01:28 *his neck prickles once more* Nov 03 22:02:03 Yes my lord Nov 03 22:05:28 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 03 22:20:44 * Adalbrecht has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
