**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Nov 4 17:46:45 2025 Nov 04 17:46:45 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Nov 04 18:38:59 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Nov 04 18:44:13 Mina's course has come... Edward is devastated... I cannot take his child from him today Nov 04 18:44:13 * Adalbrecht takes a couple Nov 04 18:44:13 That is a big disappointment Nov 04 18:44:13 * Morgan nods Nov 04 18:44:13 Very much so Nov 04 18:44:16 * Adalbrecht sighs Nov 04 18:44:18 I am sad that they are not having a child. They’ve been married several months now Nov 04 18:44:20 Their struggles have not been conducive to it... I am... assured... their time is coming Nov 04 18:44:22 * Adalbrecht nods, sighing Nov 04 18:44:24 I would have liked him spared this month disappointment, i know well the pain of that. Nov 04 18:44:26 I'm sorry it disrupts the plans so much but... it would be cruel to go, and I am not cruel. Nov 04 18:44:28 * Adalbrecht looks at the carriage “Everyone is fully packed” Nov 04 18:44:30 * Morgan nods Nov 04 18:44:32 I know Nov 04 18:44:34 * Adalbrecht sighs Nov 04 18:44:36 I suppose one of us had better deal with it all then Nov 04 18:44:40 *his neck prickles again* Nov 04 18:44:42 Perhaps... later... you'd like to join Edward and I in prayer? Nov 04 18:44:44 * Adalbrecht nods “Yes, I will do that” Nov 04 18:44:46 Thank you... I've got a few things to take care of Nov 04 18:44:48 * Adalbrecht nods Nov 04 18:44:50 Is Molly helping Mina? Nov 04 18:44:52 * Morgan nods Nov 04 18:44:54 Aye, she is Nov 04 18:44:56 * Adalbrecht nods, smiling “Good. Go on then” Nov 04 18:44:58 *his neck prickles once more* Nov 04 18:45:00 Yes my lord Nov 04 18:46:41 * Molly can be heard saying to Yensid “We need to unload it all again” Yensid replies “Like when we packed up camp in Stuttgart in ‘46” Adalbrecht groans “All that work, just to go to the other side of the river” Nov 04 18:47:09 * Morgan sighs, going to find Heinrich Nov 04 18:48:38 * Molly is now known as Heinrich Nov 04 18:49:14 *He can hear Heinrich in the kitchen chuckling, and Hildegarde giggling* Nov 04 18:49:31 * Morgan wanders into the doorway Nov 04 18:50:37 *He’s stood behind her, arms under hers and on her stomach as she washes the dishes Nov 04 18:51:49 * Morgan clears his throat Nov 04 18:52:53 * Heinrich looks over, then lets go Nov 04 18:53:03 Good morning, my Lord Nov 04 18:55:16 Morning... Unfortunately our plans have changed last minute Nov 04 18:56:06 * Heinrich looks surprised Nov 04 18:56:21 yes, my Lord. what are the plans now? Nov 04 18:57:12 We'll be staying another day, leaving tomorrow Nov 04 18:58:07 * Heinrich nods Nov 04 18:58:33 I will go down to the village for more supplies. Is there anything you’d like to eat today? Nov 04 18:58:57 Some food would be good... I need someone finding and sending here Nov 04 18:59:07 Who? Nov 04 18:59:50 His names Nick, he's a master builder... Nov 04 18:59:57 * Heinrich thinks Nov 04 19:00:14 From Innesbruck itself, or the surrounding villages? Nov 04 19:00:50 To the best of my knowledge, Innesbruck itself... I might set Ghalen on finding him... Nov 04 19:02:35 Do you know his family name, or who he was apprenticed to? Nov 04 19:03:41 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 04 19:03:49 But I know who -would- know Nov 04 19:03:54 * Heinrich nods Nov 04 19:03:59 Who is that, my Lord Nov 04 19:05:12 * Morgan frowns briefly Nov 04 19:05:17 I'll get their name and let you know Nov 04 19:05:42 * Heinrich frowns “Alright...” Nov 04 19:08:37 I'd like Rickon to spend the day with Jacques and Varick... they don't get much chance to spend time together Nov 04 19:08:43 * Heinrich nods Nov 04 19:09:17 That suits me, he gets bored when he’s with me in the village Nov 04 19:11:37 How long would it take you to get Ghalen to me? Nov 04 19:11:56 I’ll go now, maybe twenty minutes? Nov 04 19:12:14 * Morgan nods Nov 04 19:12:21 Please... I've got to let the others know Nov 04 19:12:44 * Heinrich nods, kissing Hildegarde on the cheek. She looks to Morgan when he’s gone Nov 04 19:12:49 * Heinrich is now known as Hildegarde Nov 04 19:13:16 Rickon gets bored being left outside the brothel when he goes in there to work... Nov 04 19:14:13 His work takes him there much? I mean, I know my work has taken me there twice now but... Nov 04 19:15:12 * Hildegarde shrugs “I think it does, but also it’s a convenient excuse to go and look at pretty young girls and their breasts” Nov 04 19:15:44 * Morgan frowns Nov 04 19:16:55 He won’t -do- anything, but I’ve just given up on asking him not to be looking at other women Nov 04 19:17:28 I cant say I like that... Nov 04 19:17:54 * Hildegarde shrugs “All men do it, apparently, and it doesn’t mean anything...” Nov 04 19:19:16 I'm not inclined to agree... but I am aware I am less than 'normal' Nov 04 19:19:55 * Hildegarde nods “It’s just how it is. If he wanted to stop looking, he would” Nov 04 19:20:29 I had hoped my days of being disappointed in him were past... Nov 04 19:21:32 Maybe I’m just too sensitive, especially with being older than him Nov 04 19:22:58 No, I don't think so Nov 04 19:25:59 * Hildegarde dries her hands “He’s generally really good to Rickon and me, but I do find it a bit hurtful. I know I’m already thirty, and I’m pregnant, but it’d be nice if he only had eyes for me” Nov 04 19:26:47 Have you told him that? Nov 04 19:27:02 * Hildegarde nods Nov 04 19:27:14 Once or twice... Nov 04 19:28:08 Perhaps I should... Nov 04 19:31:59 He has to do his job though, and he’ll probably only say that it’s normal to still find other women attractive and want to look at them, even though he’s married Nov 04 19:33:13 He can say what he likes... I don't see he should be in there that often Nov 04 19:38:36 * Hildegarde shrugs “I don’t control him, I’m afraid. I love him, and everything else is good, but it does make me feel like maybe I’m not really what he wants” Nov 04 19:38:55 [That was interesting...] Nov 04 19:38:59 * Morgan nods Nov 04 19:39:05 I'm sorry you're being to feel like that Nov 04 19:40:27 * Hildegarde smiles Nov 04 19:40:46 Don’t worry about it. Why are you staying longer? Nov 04 19:44:37 Mina's course has arrived and Edward is devastated... he was really hopeful she'd catch pregnant, and I cant take his daughter from him the same day as that Nov 04 19:44:44 * Hildegarde nods Nov 04 19:45:16 I understand. I’ll get somethings together to make it easier for her. They’ll probably stay a couple more days? Nov 04 19:45:51 I would imagine so, you know how noble types are fragile and can't possibly get out of bed at that time... Nov 04 19:47:07 * Hildegarde laughs Nov 04 19:47:22 I don’t understand it myself Nov 04 19:48:16 No nor do I Nov 04 19:49:49 I’ll get on with preparing for lunch then Nov 04 19:50:41 * Morgan nods Nov 04 19:50:46 I'll leave you to it Nov 04 19:52:15 * Hildegarde nods, going back to the washing up where her bump already meets the counter Nov 04 19:52:29 * Morgan goes to find Alice Nov 04 19:52:46 * Hildegarde is now known as Alice Nov 04 19:53:18 * Alice is found in the library playing cards with Uinise and Christopher Nov 04 19:53:58 Ah, there you all are... there's been a change of plan Nov 04 19:54:19 why? Nov 04 19:56:44 Somethings come up, so we'll need to stay a day Nov 04 19:57:48 *they all nod* Nov 04 19:58:07 C: Is there any aid we can be of, dear boy? Nov 04 19:58:59 No, just a bit of patience really... I know its a pain to be disrupted Nov 04 20:01:26 C: Perhaps we’ll take a walk in the village, that will be nice Nov 04 20:01:53 * Morgan nods Nov 04 20:02:12 I've told Hildegarde and Heinrich, they'll be getting lunches done Nov 04 20:03:19 * Alice nods “Is Florrie still with Edward?” Nov 04 20:03:44 * Morgan nods Nov 04 20:03:55 Planting bluies Nov 04 20:04:41 * Alice smiles Nov 04 20:04:46 She does enjoy that Nov 04 20:05:36 C: How is Mina? Edward says she was feeling unwell? Nov 04 20:06:02 * Morgan nods Nov 04 20:06:10 She's okay, but she's staying in bed a while Nov 04 20:08:22 *Alice looks at Morgan sadly, but neither of the others seem to twig* Nov 04 20:09:11 If you'll excuse me, there's a couple of things I need to get done Nov 04 20:10:20 *they let him go* Nov 04 20:12:34 * Morgan wanders through the hallways toward Mina's room Nov 04 20:12:39 [is Mina decent?] Nov 04 20:13:05 [yes] Nov 04 20:14:57 * Morgan goes back up to the room, knocking quietly Nov 04 20:15:13 *Mina calls “Come in, Morgan” Nov 04 20:16:20 * Morgan goes in, closing the door behind him Nov 04 20:17:53 * Alice is now known as Molly Nov 04 20:18:14 * Molly and Mina are where he left them, still drinking their coffee Nov 04 20:18:37 How we doing? Nov 04 20:20:58 *Mina smiles* We are well enough. How are you? Nov 04 20:21:52 I've just been subject to my fathers ire so... not bad... Nov 04 20:22:29 Mina: Why is he cross? Nov 04 20:24:01 Changes in plans unsettle him Nov 04 20:25:31 Mina: You have decided to stay longer? Nov 04 20:25:37 Just a day Nov 04 20:26:05 *Mina nods* I am glad Edward will be supported Nov 04 20:29:14 * Morgan nods, looking out of the window Nov 04 20:29:22 [do you think we should tell her about what I can do?] Nov 04 20:29:45 [I think so, yes] Nov 04 20:31:32 How are you feeling now about what Molly can do? Nov 04 20:32:07 *Mina smiles* It explains many things. I am not unsettled by it Nov 04 20:33:13 * Morgan nods slowly, turning to look at her Nov 04 20:33:20 And if I told you I could do something? Nov 04 20:34:41 Mina: I’d be curious about what your hidden talents are... Nov 04 20:35:53 I... have some control over... heat... sort of Nov 04 20:36:54 *Mina smiles* You can make things hot? Nov 04 20:37:35 * Morgan smiles a little Nov 04 20:37:53 Its one of the things I can do... Nov 04 20:38:05 Mina: What Elsie can you do? Nov 04 20:38:08 else* Nov 04 20:39:19 * Morgan smiles a little Nov 04 20:40:11 I'm quite adept at disappointing my father... *he smiles, though the throwaway comment could easily be more meaningful* Nov 04 20:41:23 [do we need a moment, my love?] Nov 04 20:41:41 *Mina smiles* that is not magic, though? Nov 04 20:41:57 [no, I'm alright... just a little weary] Nov 04 20:42:18 [let me take some of it from you] Nov 04 20:42:24 No, thats pure, unadulterated skill... perhaps you'd trust me with a small demonstration? Nov 04 20:43:06 Mina smiles with her usual courtly smile: Yes, I would like to see your hot things Nov 04 20:43:39 * Morgan smiles despite himself, looking around for a candle Nov 04 20:44:28 *he finds one with ease* Nov 04 20:44:59 * Morgan places it in plain sight, moving away from it before concentrating on lighting it Nov 04 20:47:06 *It works easily and instantly. Mina looks impressed* Nov 04 20:47:14 M: How did you do that?! Nov 04 20:47:31 Magic... Nov 04 20:48:53 M: You do not have to say any magic words? Nov 04 20:49:08 [that would be a nuisance, wouldn’t it?!] Nov 04 20:49:28 No, and despite what my father says, I'm not a wizard Nov 04 20:50:21 * Molly and Mina both laugh Nov 04 20:50:29 I’m sorry, he said what?! Nov 04 20:51:19 He said I must be a powerful wizard Nov 04 20:52:42 * Molly and Mina both giggle at this Nov 04 20:54:40 I'm glad you find that amusing... Nov 04 20:55:49 Mina: we do Nov 04 20:57:04 *There’s the sound of Emil crying. Molly’s expression immediately becomes tenser* Nov 04 20:58:27 Do you wish to see to him love? Nov 04 20:59:31 * Molly stands up “I will, yes” [My breasts will thank me for it!] Nov 04 20:59:56 * Morgan nods Nov 04 21:00:30 *She comes to gently squeeze his arm. It’s odd to be able to still smell the rose water but the pregnancy scent is so much less* Nov 04 21:00:53 [I still cant smell the pregnancy as much] Nov 04 21:01:44 [I know, but that is probably for the best today] Nov 04 21:02:08 [as long as nothing is wrong...] Nov 04 21:03:16 [no, I have just scrubbed myself very well, that’s all] Nov 04 21:03:23 * Molly leaves the room Nov 04 21:04:12 * Morgan looks to Mina Nov 04 21:04:22 Still not seeing me as some kind of monster? Nov 04 21:04:37 * Molly shakes her head Nov 04 21:04:41 * Molly is now known as Mina Nov 04 21:04:44 not at all Nov 04 21:05:45 * Morgan nods, looking relieved Nov 04 21:06:11 What’s the most flashy thing you can do Nov 04 21:06:26 Flashy? Nov 04 21:06:36 Yes, in the nature of a parlour Nov 04 21:06:39 trick Nov 04 21:07:38 Well, it depends... some people are impressed by loud noises and flashes of light... whats your favourite animal? Nov 04 21:08:49 * Mina has to think about this “I do not mind cats” Nov 04 21:09:49 * Morgan nods, concentrating on creating a liquid looking flame in the shape of a cat Nov 04 21:10:03 * Mina looks extremely impressed Nov 04 21:11:07 * Morgan stops it Nov 04 21:12:02 It’s impressive Nov 04 21:12:35 It has its moments... Nov 04 21:13:34 You could make an image like that of virtually anything Nov 04 21:13:35 ? Nov 04 21:13:52 I assume so Nov 04 21:15:31 That would be a very novel party trick Nov 04 21:15:41 Pity it'd get me lynched Nov 04 21:16:25 * Mina smiles “That would somewhat ruin the seating plan” Nov 04 21:16:41 quite Nov 04 21:16:57 Are you happy to be staying? Nov 04 21:17:13 Mostly... Nov 04 21:17:26 What makes you not be? Nov 04 21:18:12 I was looking forward to throwing myself in my lake tonight... and, despite my proclivity for doing so, I don't really like annoying my father Nov 04 21:18:37 * Mina nods Nov 04 21:18:50 Edward doesn’t like displeasing him either Nov 04 21:20:23 * Morgan nods Nov 04 21:20:43 Is he quite wroth with you? Nov 04 21:21:12 He's always grumpy in the morning if he's slept alone... he thinks we don't know he sleeps in with mother now Nov 04 21:21:25 * Mina smiles Nov 04 21:22:28 Edward has mentioned this before Nov 04 21:23:12 * Morgan nods Nov 04 21:23:19 Is there anything you wish to ask about what I can do? Nov 04 21:24:21 what do you do most often with it? Nov 04 21:26:31 Thats... a tough question... light or put out candles, or fireplaces... heat coffee... the trip to capperlucia I enabled the ladies to have hot baths on the journey Nov 04 21:28:52 * Mina nods, then leans forwards with a smile that has nothing to do with courtly sangfroid, and everything to do with mischief and suggestiveness, one he’s only seen before in his Wolfblood dreams “What’s the most -fun- you’ve ever had with it?” Nov 04 21:30:51 * Morgan blushes a little Nov 04 21:31:06 Uhhh, I've used it to heat and cool the air near Molly's skin... Nov 04 21:31:58 * Mina smiles faintly “I imagine that would be fun” Nov 04 21:32:04 * Morgan nods Nov 04 21:32:07 She seemed to enjoy it Nov 04 21:32:52 * Mina nods “I’m glad. Are you two well? I’ve noticed a little less closeness, physically” Nov 04 21:33:50 * Morgan nods, frowning a little Nov 04 21:33:55 So have I... Nov 04 21:34:48 I know your dreams can cause some distress for you both Nov 04 21:35:50 * Morgan nods Nov 04 21:35:55 Yeah, last night wasn't a good one Nov 04 21:37:45 Could it be that? Or could she have been upset by where you went last night? *she blushes a little then* Nov 04 21:38:10 No, she wasn't bothered by going there... it could well be the nightmare... Nov 04 21:38:34 * Mina nods Nov 04 21:38:51 Do you not have frank discussions between you? Nov 04 21:40:02 Yes but... that one was harrowing... for both of us Nov 04 21:40:48 * Mina nods, then smiles “What about this special thing you can do with your head?” Nov 04 21:42:36 Special thing I can do with my head... Nov 04 21:43:24 To communicate Nov 04 21:43:43 Oh, that... what about it? Nov 04 21:43:53 what do you use it for most? Nov 04 21:45:02 Mostly just talking when we cant talk... occasionally something... salacious Nov 04 21:45:24 * Mina smiles “What’s the most -fun- you’ve ever had with it?” Nov 04 21:48:12 Oh, thats probably the salacious images... Nov 04 21:48:18 * Mina giggles Nov 04 21:48:25 Do you do it a lot? Nov 04 21:49:00 On occasion, yes Nov 04 21:49:43 Edward and I would be relentless with it Nov 04 21:50:07 * Morgan nods Nov 04 21:50:09 No doubt Nov 04 21:51:05 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 04 22:07:15 * Mina has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
