Inga goes with her, and HH watches his wife with a smile. He whistles a little tune, and she looks over her shoulder with a smile and a blush before going on* Nov 06 19:19:35 * Molly is now known as HH Nov 06 19:19:59 * HH grins “Right, stables?” Nov 06 19:20:13 * Morgan nods Nov 06 19:20:18 Aye, if you're staying Nov 06 19:21:28 * HH nods “Safety in numbers... ‘sides, my wife will want some time with yers” He starts to lead the horse to the stables where the other horses have been returned. No one else is in here. Nov 06 19:21:52 You chat, I’ll work... same as always! Nov 06 19:22:21 Whats to say? Nov 06 19:24:33 What’s been goin’ on up here? Nov 06 19:25:16 We had a trip to the brothel last night... they've had an outbreak of the Montaigne disease... Nov 06 19:26:18 * HH looks at him “You went to fix it, didn’t just discover it when you were there?” Nov 06 19:26:30 obviously Nov 06 19:26:56 Jura, ‘s all I’m saying *he starts taking the horse’s bridle off* Nov 06 19:27:24 No, we got word of it and went to see what we could do... turns out it wasn't that at all Nov 06 19:27:31 no?

Norbitt or somethin’ Nov 06 19:28:53 * Morgan nods Nov 06 19:29:31 One of the girls who always did the washing has that... couldn't tell one thing from another and used them the wrong way round which, being caustic, causes all the symptoms of syphillis without the fever... Nov 06 19:29:52 * HH looks impressed *huh!* Nov 06 19:30:21 * Morgan nods Nov 06 19:30:25 Simple really Nov 06 19:30:45 Good news then Nov 06 19:31:24 * Morgan nods Nov 06 19:31:33 Need to send some cream down today for them, but yeah...

Nov 06 19:37:17 By Edward... she'd already gone up and gone to sleep Nov 06 19:37:30 * HH frowns “she okay?” Nov 06 19:39:56 Long day, thats all Nov 06 19:40:28 * HH nods Nov 06 19:40:35 how come he sent you to bed? Nov 06 19:41:47 * HH gets a feed bag for the horse Nov 06 19:41:49 It was getting late and didn't want me being too tired... my nights are always bad here... and I suspect he wanted some time alone since his wife had rebuffed his advances/// Nov 06 19:42:02 * HH sniggers Nov 06 19:42:07 unlucky Nov 06 19:42:38 * Morgan nods Nov 06 19:44:01 Glad mine’s more cooperative Nov 06 19:44:45 I'm wondering if she was having pain since her course started this morning... or he wasn't bringing his a game, so to speak Nov 06 19:44:56 * HH nods Nov 06 19:45:09 Could be either, I guess Nov 06 19:45:34 * Morgan nods Nov 06 19:45:37 indeed Nov 06 19:46:04 mebbie that’s the difference, I’m always bringing my A Game Nov 06 19:46:25 Or she's easily pleased Nov 06 19:46:42 * HH grins Nov 06 19:46:51 That’s the way I like it Nov 06 19:48:12 * Morgan nods Nov 06 19:48:52 Then you went to be to bring -your- A Game?

Nov 06 19:51:28 * Morgan frowns a little Nov 06 19:51:49 Getting caught and escaping... Molly got stuck in that with me Nov 06 19:52:45 * HH frowns Nov 06 19:52:56 She can get into your dreams? Nov 06 19:54:24 Its not the first time... but this time she was stuck, couldn't wake up, couldn't change anything like she's been able to before... last time was the gallows, but she changed it all Nov 06 19:54:50 Ah fuck, man. She upset? Nov 06 19:55:47 She was... man, the look of horror on her face... gonn' be a long time before I can get over that Nov 06 19:57:09 you looked pretty banged up then? Nov 06 19:57:25 You'd have to ask her I'm afraid Nov 06 19:58:07 * HH nods Nov 06 19:58:23 What happened? She magic you good? Nov 06 19:59:10 Come on, can you imagine how I'd have reacted to that? Nov 06 20:00:44 * HH chuckles Nov 06 20:00:49 Yeah, good point Nov 06 20:01:37 Besides, she couldn't even get out of it, so I don't imagine that would've worked either Nov 06 20:01:52 Musta been scary Nov 06 20:03:43 * Morgan nods Nov 06 20:04:16 How’d ya wake up? Nov 06 20:04:46 The pendant in the end Nov 06 20:05:17 Huh. Lucky that was with ya Nov 06 20:05:48 * Morgan shrugs Nov 06 20:05:57 Seems I carry it in all my dreams now Nov 06 20:06:35 * HH nods “Weird, for anyone else.” Nov 06 20:07:48 * Morgan nods Nov 06 20:07:49 yeah Nov 06 20:08:22 She okay when ya woke up? Nov 06 20:08:28 Not really, no Nov 06 20:08:43 * HH nods Nov 06 20:08:50 You weren’t much better? Nov 06 20:09:10 * Morgan shrugs Nov 06 20:09:18 Going to the Sudlache always gives me time to calm down Nov 06 20:10:11 * HH nods Nov 06 20:10:16 Useful as fuck Nov 06 20:10:42 * Morgan nods Nov 06 20:10:43 Absolutely Nov 06 20:12:43 Y’ normally get this nightmare? Don’t think y’ mentioned it before? *He hadn’t had it since the fire replaced it, the last time he was comforted after it it had been Dietlinde holding him from behind in the dark that final summer* Nov 06 20:12:57 Not since the fire Nov 06 20:14:49 * HH nods “Not e’en on the ferry when you told me an’ her about what happened?” Nov 06 20:15:34 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 06 20:16:38 * HH nods Nov 06 20:16:48 Any idea why it’s back? Nov 06 20:17:02 * Morgan nods Nov 06 20:17:15 Yep... and its part of the reason she feels so bad about it Nov 06 20:17:36 * HH chuckles “Got a bit kinky, did ya?” Nov 06 20:18:35 Before we went out, she did something to make it more enjoyable... I ended up being so thirsty... like back then... Nov 06 20:18:45 * HH nods slowly Nov 06 20:18:52 Ahhh yeah, that’ll do it Nov 06 20:19:28 * Morgan nods Nov 06 20:19:29 yeah Nov 06 20:19:33 shit. Nov 06 20:20:10 * Morgan nods Nov 06 20:20:23 Once I woke up I didn't dare go back to sleep Nov 06 20:20:48 * HH nods Nov 06 20:20:59 Don’t think I’da risked it myself Nov 06 20:21:51 * Morgan nods Nov 06 20:22:15 Went to get coffee and bumped into Edward in the kitchen, looking dishevelled in last nights clothes, smelling of gin... Nov 06 20:23:05 Got himself too drunk to see to himself then Nov 06 20:24:13 Ah, no... no Nov 06 20:25:47 Not too ‘im drinking that much Nov 06 20:25:52 good* Nov 06 20:26:04 Well, see, he didn't Nov 06 20:26:22 * HH just looks confused Nov 06 20:28:47 What he -did- was take matters in hand... in the library... and just as he's nearing the point of no return, Uinise saunters in, causing him to spill the gin and jump up... she gets a new book, looks him over because he's not covered up in case the touch lights the powder, says they don't have them as big in Capperlucia, wishes him a happy masturbation and buggers off Nov 06 20:29:33 * HH absolutely creases up, laughing hard. It takes him a minute to catch his breath Nov 06 20:29:37 Holy fuck! Nov 06 20:31:22 * Morgan nods Nov 06 20:31:23 Yeah Nov 06 20:32:26 Oh man! Bad enough in Heidelberg and I never had to e’en see the maid again! Nov 06 20:33:47 * Morgan nods Nov 06 20:33:48 quite Nov 06 20:33:59 You know what the really sad part is? Nov 06 20:34:37 * HH chuckles “No?” Nov 06 20:35:25 Before he'd tell me, he made me promise I cant tease him about it for a week Nov 06 20:35:36 * HH groans Nov 06 20:35:41 Asshole! Nov 06 20:36:27 * Morgan nods Nov 06 20:36:40 Of course, that was all before he knew about Mina's course... Nov 06 20:36:47 * HH nods Nov 06 20:37:30 “Pretty sure Little Heinzharold would still be hanging his head in shame rather than being in the mood anyhow!” Nov 06 20:38:11 * Morgan nods Nov 06 20:38:33 Molly's been weird with me all morning... I figured it was seeing the state of me in the nightmare had put her off Nov 06 20:38:48 * HH frowns Nov 06 20:39:48 Weird like what? Nov 06 20:41:10 Like she's withdrawing from me... she figured I'd need her to not be provocative, because it kept winding me up on the way here... Nov 06 20:42:01 * HH nods “So what ya gonn do about it?” Nov 06 20:43:03 Already dealt with it Nov 06 20:44:00 * HH sniggers “Did y’ now...” Nov 06 20:44:41 We talked Nov 06 20:45:23 * HH nods Nov 06 20:46:18 So now she’s plannin to do th’ opposite? Nov 06 20:46:50 * Morgan shrugs Nov 06 20:46:53 I don't know Nov 06 20:48:08 Need anythin’ slippin’ in the back door? Nov 06 20:48:34 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 06 20:48:37 Not at the moment Nov 06 20:48:46 * HH nods Nov 06 20:48:57 You pair are okay though? Nov 06 20:49:53 Yeah I think so Nov 06 20:50:08 * HH nods Nov 06 20:50:26 How’s Uinise? Oh wait, how’s -Claudia-? Nov 06 20:51:20 We fell out a bit, but we're okay too... she was unhappy that she hadn't protected Uinise from seeing an aroused man... Nov 06 20:53:08 * HH nods Nov 06 20:53:16 Yeah... difficult for her. Nov 06 20:53:54 * Morgan nods Nov 06 20:54:01 Yeah. She's seen Uinise, she's okay about it now Nov 06 20:54:20 * HH nods Nov 06 20:54:31 Sounds like Uinise wasn’t fussed Nov 06 20:55:14 Didn't give a fuck man Nov 06 20:56:10 * HH chuckles, shaking his head “happy masturbation...” Nov 06 20:56:25 In Capperlucian, obviously Nov 06 20:56:59 * HH grins “Mebbie I’ll learn it in Capperlucian, be funny to see Inga’s face” Nov 06 20:58:11 /me nods Nov 06 20:58:34 Been awkward with the three of ‘em together this morning?

Nov 06 21:03:38 Fine, really... father had a bit of a moan about it, but I expected that Nov 06 21:05:02 * HH chuckles Nov 06 21:05:21 Yeah, same Nov 06 21:07:48 * Morgan nods Nov 06 21:08:11 We had a shout at the Nieblungen... they're currently very worried they'll lose our cooperation Nov 06 21:08:24 What they done this time? Nov 06 21:09:15 They were the ones who told me they'd have a child by February... her getting her course has made me look a liar, and its caused a -lot- of pain Nov 06 21:09:37 * HH nods Nov 06 21:09:48 How’d they get it wrong? Nov 06 21:10:50 They cannot see the paths anymore, and blamed it on Molly and Hirschen... you can imagine how well that went down Nov 06 21:11:02 * HH frowns deeply Nov 06 21:11:15 Reckon they bleed grey? Nov 06 21:11:56 * Morgan shrugs Nov 06 21:11:57 No idea Nov 06 21:13:15 Woulda lost my shit with them at that Nov 06 21:13:29 * Morgan nods Nov 06 21:13:39 Threatened to all pack up and piss off to Capperlucia Nov 06 21:13:49 * HH nods Nov 06 21:14:01 Could do that, break my skirt out Nov 06 21:16:01 *he can faintly hear masculine laughter from outsode* Nov 06 21:16:52 I wonder who that is... Nov 06 21:17:55 * HH tilts his head to listen, then rolls his eyes “Sounds like Heinrich” Nov 06 21:18:29 * Morgan nods, moving to the doorway Nov 06 21:19:52 *Heinrich and Ghalen are coming up the drive into the courtyard* Nov 06 21:21:39 * Morgan whistles to them Nov 06 21:21:50 *they head in his direction* Nov 06 21:22:37 * Morgan waits until they're closer Nov 06 21:23:39 Ghalen, I'm sorry to drag you all the way here just to send you away again with a task... Nov 06 21:24:20 *The young blonde Sheriff smiles* It’s my job, my Lord Nov 06 21:25:06 I want you to find a man called Nick, he's a building designer... he's betrothed to Enndelin in the brothel Nov 06 21:26:49 *Ghalen nods* I’ll go there next, I don’t think they open yet though? *he looks at Heinrich, who shakes his head “Midday on a Tuesday “ Nov 06 21:27:32 * Morgan looks to Heinrich Nov 06 21:27:37 And you and I are going to talk Nov 06 21:28:41 *Heinrich nods* Now?

Ghalen, I want Nick here as soon as possible Nov 06 21:29:29 *Ghalen nods, turning to go* Nov 06 21:29:52 * Morgan waits until he's out of earshot before looking at Heinrich Nov 06 21:30:01 * HH is now known as Heinrich Nov 06 21:30:05 Precisely how often are you using the excuse of work to be in the brothel? Nov 06 21:30:40 * Heinrich frowns Nov 06 21:30:47 I’m working Nov 06 21:31:00 Seems to take you there a lot... Nov 06 21:31:37 There’s almost as much gossip to pick up there as in the tavern, the girls know a lot Nov 06 21:32:12 * Morgan watches him steadily Nov 06 21:34:49 * Heinrich shrugs “I’m in there a lot, yes. Is Barbara complaining?” Nov 06 21:36:23 No... but your wife is hurt... Nov 06 21:37:14 * Heinrich smiles a little “I’ve tried explaining to her. Men like to look at pretty women and breasts, it doesn’t mean anything” Nov 06 21:38:17 * Morgan blinks slowly Nov 06 21:38:26 That is something you set aside when you marry... Nov 06 21:40:51 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 06 22:00:07 * Heinrich has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
