**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Nov 7 18:35:32 2025 Nov 07 18:35:32 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Nov 07 19:14:59 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Nov 07 19:15:09 * Molly is now known as Heinrich Nov 07 19:17:03 I’m working Nov 07 19:17:03 Seems to take you there a lot... Nov 07 19:17:03 There’s almost as much gossip to pick up there as in the tavern, the girls know a lot Nov 07 19:17:03 * Morgan watches him steadily Nov 07 19:17:03 * Heinrich shrugs “I’m in there a lot, yes. Is Barbara complaining?” Nov 07 19:17:04 No... but your wife is hurt... Nov 07 19:17:06 * 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 07 19:17:10 * Morgan blinks slowly Nov 07 19:17:12 That is something you set aside when you marry... Nov 07 19:18:25 I am married, not dead! I work hard for my wife and children, is it too much to ask to just be allowed something that I enjoy? Nov 07 19:18:58 Your wife has them... look at those... moreover, you are -hurting- her Nov 07 19:20:00 I know she does, and I love them, obviously. But I still enjoy the variety of seeing other ones, all men do Nov 07 19:21:24 I can name four in the grounds alone who don't Nov 07 19:21:54 I bet they do, they just won’t admit it Nov 07 19:22:17 You are calling me a liar? My father? My brother? Nov 07 19:22:45 * Heinrich seems to realise his error then “uhhh, no, my Lord” Nov 07 19:23:04 * Morgan watches him a moment Nov 07 19:23:08 You can go. Nov 07 19:23:20 Go where? Nov 07 19:23:37 Out of my sight Nov 07 19:23:49 * Heinrich bows before going Nov 07 19:24:23 * Morgan rolls his neck Nov 07 19:24:31 * Heinrich is now known as HH Nov 07 19:24:59 * HH comes out of the barn, looking at his best friend with a frown Nov 07 19:25:24 Am I wrong? Nov 07 19:25:38 ‘Bout what? Nov 07 19:25:49 About his bullshit Nov 07 19:26:21 * HH considers it “Nah...” Nov 07 19:27:10 * Morgan nods a little Nov 07 19:27:25 * HH brushes a hand through his hair Nov 07 19:28:08 It’s like... Could I look at other bubbies with an appreciative eye? Sure, bubbies are awesome... Nov 07 19:28:43 * Morgan watches him Nov 07 19:29:24 Buuuut... Seems disrespectful to my lil darlin, ya know? She’s my girl, she’s all I need. Nov 07 19:29:36 * Morgan nods Nov 07 19:29:37 yeah Nov 07 19:30:54 Even if I’d enjoy eyeing up other bubbies, which I possibly would, the moment I thought it was upsetting my wife, or hurting her, or makin’ her doubt me or herself, that’d be the end o’ it. Nov 07 19:31:13 * Morgan nods Nov 07 19:31:18 Yeah... Nov 07 19:32:41 So... yeah, on balance t’ me, the big problem isn’t the lookin’, it’s th’ fact that she’s hurt and he cares more f’ pervin’ on other women than being good t’ his wife. Nov 07 19:33:35 * Morgan nods Nov 07 19:35:15 Goes both ways too... Like in Capperlucia when all th’ men were barely dressed, I wouldn’ta wanted my lil darlin looking at their bodies and admiring them like that Nov 07 19:35:39 * Morgan nods Nov 07 19:35:40 Exactly Nov 07 19:35:46 * HH nods Nov 07 19:36:42 I dunno if she did or didn’t, I’m not always there t’ supervise her, but I like t’ think that she kept in mind how she’d want me behavin’ too Nov 07 19:37:00 I don't see her eyes wandering to be honest Nov 07 19:37:22 yeah, and she’s seen you half dressed quite a bit! Nov 07 19:38:03 Yeah that'd put most off to be fair Nov 07 19:38:15 * HH chuckles Nov 07 19:38:39 You spoken to the others about it? Nov 07 19:40:26 About me putting people off? Nah Nov 07 19:43:23 * HH chuckles “About his wanderin’ eyes” Nov 07 19:43:58 No, the mood Molly's in she'd gut him Nov 07 19:49:05 * HH laughs Nov 07 19:50:42 Y’ know my feelin’s about him, I’m good with that Nov 07 19:50:50 * Morgan nods, sighing Nov 07 19:52:40 He doesn’t deserve a wife like her Nov 07 19:53:15 No, I don't think he does Nov 07 19:59:37 * HH sighs “Dunno what you can do though, man. It’s not -technically-infidelity” Nov 07 20:00:30 Doesn't make it right Nov 07 20:04:08 No. But if it feels like cheating to her... Nov 07 20:05:30 I don't know its quite cheating to her but she doesn't like it Nov 07 20:05:56 * HH nods Nov 07 20:06:22 Inga would be real mad if she’d told me she didn’t like it an’ I kept doin’ it Nov 07 20:07:42 * Morgan nods Nov 07 20:08:46 I’m not sure what t’ suggest, except that ya let me pummel the crap outta him Nov 07 20:09:52 You'd suggest that if he forgot the cucumber in the sandwiches Nov 07 20:11:26 * HH chuckles Nov 07 20:12:08 Good point, and I don’t e’en like cucumber in my sandwiches Nov 07 20:12:26 * Morgan nods Nov 07 20:12:44 Mina knows about what Molly and I can do... Nov 07 20:13:31 * HH nods Nov 07 20:13:38 how’s she taken it? Nov 07 20:14:41 Like a woman who grew up with a shapeshifting cousin Nov 07 20:14:53 [my love, have you seen Ghalen yet?] Nov 07 20:15:01 could be worse then Nov 07 20:15:57 [yes love, I've sent him to find Nick] Nov 07 20:15:59 * Morgan nods Nov 07 20:16:01 quite Nov 07 20:16:14 [Ah damn. Alright, my love] Nov 07 20:16:28 Easier for you guys though? Nov 07 20:16:37 [what do you need?] Nov 07 20:16:41 Aye I suppose so Nov 07 20:17:06 [he was supposed to be taking that cream to Enndelin and Jocelyn] Nov 07 20:17:39 * HH nods Nov 07 20:17:48 [he'll be bringing Nick back here so he can take it then] Nov 07 20:17:57 Be easier for when it’s time for her to have a babe Nov 07 20:18:56 [okay, good. Inga would like me to ask you to tell Heinzharold he should come and sit down?] Nov 07 20:20:05 Yeah... Inga says you should go and sit down... Nov 07 20:20:29 * HH chuckles, grinning “She does, does she?” Nov 07 20:21:20 Yeah, she does Nov 07 20:21:25 [he's chuckling and grinning...] Nov 07 20:22:25 [she said she expected something like that. It sounds like they had a very fun night!] Nov 07 20:22:44 [Yensid said it sounded like a fun morning...] Nov 07 20:22:52 Could have some coffee, I guess Nov 07 20:23:08 [oh no! did you tell Heinzharold that?!] Nov 07 20:24:38 [don't be absurd] Nov 07 20:26:24 * HH stretches “Anything we need to be doin’ today? ‘Cept our wives” Nov 07 20:26:53 Loads of little jobs Nov 07 20:27:18 Gen’rally that means ya ate somethin’ dodgy *he grins* Nov 07 20:29:32 * Morgan rolls his eyes, moving toward the house Nov 07 20:32:56 * HH goes with him. He finds Molly and Inga with Emil in the library. Inga is sat on the couch. Molly is on her hands and knees bent over Emil, singing a nursery rhyme. It gives him a good view of the curve of her belly Nov 07 20:34:15 * Morgan blushes, watching her Nov 07 20:35:54 *The rhyme seems to be about a boat on the sea, and requires some rocking side to side, and then worse, a forward and backward motion for the waves going up and then retreating on a beach Nov 07 20:36:11 $shut up$ Nov 07 20:36:31 *HH just smirks* Nov 07 20:37:56 I: *she is smirking as well* Do you want some too? Nov 07 20:38:06 Want some what? Nov 07 20:38:18 I: Coffee Nov 07 20:38:31 Oh, yeah, please Nov 07 20:38:57 *Molly glances up at them with a smile, but goes back to doing the rhyme with the baby who is laughing* Nov 07 20:40:20 I: Shall I go, or did you want to go? *she smiles* Nov 07 20:40:41 'S alright, I'll go Nov 07 20:41:35 *the rhyme of the waves moving up and down the beach culminates in a big wave where she comes right over Emil and covers him. He doesn’t seem to mind being gently squished by her belly* Nov 07 20:44:15 * Morgan smiles, quietly leaving to fetch coffee Nov 07 20:44:55 *he finds Hildegarde in the kitchen blind-baking two pie bases with ceramic beads Nov 07 20:45:00 * HH is now known as Hildegarde Nov 07 20:45:28 * Morgan starts making the coffee Nov 07 20:45:39 Do you want me to do that? Nov 07 20:46:32 No love, you've already got enough to do with those pies Nov 07 20:46:55 * Hildegarde nods Nov 07 20:47:11 I checked the boys a minute ago, they’re fine Nov 07 20:48:30 * Morgan nods Nov 07 20:48:37 Doesn't surprise me, they're fairly sensible Nov 07 20:49:16 * Hildegarde nods, putting a pan in the oven Nov 07 20:50:17 I think everyone is a bit at a loss for how to fill the day now Nov 07 20:51:26 * Morgan nods Nov 07 20:51:35 I'm not really surprised... my uncle was thinking of going to the village Nov 07 20:51:44 * Hildegarde nods Nov 07 20:52:16 That’s a good idea. Will you go too? Nov 07 20:52:54 I don't know actually... I need to get my hands on someone so they can look over the plans for Elsie's cottage Nov 07 20:53:12 * Hildegarde nods Nov 07 20:53:29 It’d be good for them to have somewhere nice Nov 07 20:54:30 * Morgan nods Nov 07 20:54:40 Aye... we'll see how good he is Nov 07 20:55:18 I thought Heinrich would be back with Ghalen by now Nov 07 20:56:50 He's around somewhere Nov 07 20:57:33 * Hildegarde nods “he’ll be here for lunch” Nov 07 21:00:16 * Morgan nods Nov 07 21:01:01 *Inga comes in* Nov 07 21:02:19 Alright alright, I'm going as fast as I can... Nov 07 21:02:44 *Inga laughs* I came to get a snack for Emil Nov 07 21:03:45 * Morgan nods Nov 07 21:04:22 *Inga does this, and is finished just as Morgan is finished too Nov 07 21:05:25 Ready? Nov 07 21:06:07 *Inga nods, opening the door so he can bring the tray. She waits til they’re alone before saying “How are you?” Nov 07 21:06:12 * Hildegarde is now known as Inga Nov 07 21:06:49 I've had better days Nov 07 21:08:16 * Inga nods “I got that impression” Nov 07 21:09:02 Oh? Nov 07 21:09:21 Molly said it was a rough night, and not in a good way! Nov 07 21:10:35 Yeah... yeah it was bad Nov 07 21:10:58 I’m always here if you want to talk Nov 07 21:13:29 Thanks love... it was just a really bad nightmare... though it was more memory than imagination Nov 07 21:14:41 * Inga nods “That makes it hard” Nov 07 21:14:50 * Morgan nods Nov 07 21:14:52 Yeah Nov 07 21:15:22 is there anything we can do? Nov 07 21:17:07 No love, I'm afraid not Nov 07 21:18:31 * Inga nods sadly “Bit of a change from when we were last here for Matthias’ baptism!” *then he’d asked her to watch the children so they could hurriedly go upstairs to deal with his desire* Nov 07 21:19:05 * Morgan nods Nov 07 21:19:24 Yeah, I know... we had some time together last night but... thats sort of what started my evening off Nov 07 21:20:59 * Inga looks a bit confused “She’s not really said much about -your- evening, we were talking about mine. Did something go wrong?” Nov 07 21:23:12 She did something that, after we were done made me incredibly thirsty... it put me in mind if... I got caught in the war... when we went to bed, thats what I dreamed Nov 07 21:24:26 * Inga nods “That’s putting you both off today then” Nov 07 21:26:22 * Morgan shrugs Nov 07 21:26:37 She was trying to be less provocative because we were leaving but... we're not now Nov 07 21:27:10 * Inga smiles “I get the feeling she’s not put two and two together there” Nov 07 21:27:47 No... Nov 07 21:29:46 * Inga nods “That’s unlucky” Nov 07 21:31:23 * Morgan nods Nov 07 21:31:24 Is a bit Nov 07 21:31:52 * Inga smiles “What are you going to do about it?” Nov 07 21:34:06 * Morgan shrugs Nov 07 21:34:10 We're a bit busy Nov 07 21:34:24 Hasn’t stopped you before! Nov 07 21:36:04 No, but... its an emotional day... and I still cant get the look on her face out of my head Nov 07 21:36:18 what look? Nov 07 21:36:56 She got into my nightmare... couldn't get out... she saw me just after I escaped and she was horrified Nov 07 21:37:24 That would have been really distressing to see Nov 07 21:38:16 Apparently so Nov 07 21:38:56 Do you two need some time together, maybe? Not for sex, but in general? Nov 07 21:40:33 Possibly but we're a bit busy really Nov 07 21:41:19 We can all pitch in, Heinzharold has nothing he needs to be doing Nov 07 21:42:14 Aye, maybe Nov 07 21:43:53 * Inga smiles to herself before looking back to him “We’ll definitely be going tomorrow?” Nov 07 21:47:03 I think so, aye... I know you're desperate to get home Nov 07 21:48:05 * Inga nods “We are, but we don’t want to leave you behind” Nov 07 21:48:17 * Morgan nods Nov 07 21:48:31 I was quite sad when I thought you'd go on and I wouldn't get to see your reaction to the house Nov 07 21:48:52 Don’t worry, we’ll wait for you Nov 07 21:49:48 * Morgan nods Nov 07 21:49:58 I'm hopeful we'll be underway tomorrow Nov 07 21:51:18 * Inga nods. They get to the library door, and she opens it. Molly and HH are laughing inside Nov 07 21:51:46 * Morgan thanks her, carrying the coffee in Nov 07 21:53:11 *HH is sat in a chair, Molly is semi reclined on the couch. Emil is sat on her lap, but with his head on her rounded stomach, arms around her. She strokes his hair as he babbles. She looks relaxed and happy Nov 07 21:53:49 * Inga glances at Morgan, watching his expression Nov 07 21:53:57 * Morgan smiles a little Nov 07 21:54:14 HH: thanks man *he gets up, making his coffee* Nov 07 21:54:37 *Molly smiles at her husband* I think he’s trying to talk to Hirschen Nov 07 21:55:01 * Morgan nods Nov 07 21:55:08 I suppose he's seen us do it quite a lot Nov 07 21:55:35 * Inga nods, then smiles suddenly Nov 07 21:55:39 * Inga is now known as Molly Nov 07 21:55:48 That was a big one! Nov 07 21:56:25 'S what she said Nov 07 21:56:44 *HH says* “That’s what she said” just as Inga says “that’s what I said” Nov 07 21:57:06 * Molly laughs. Emil looks at them with a grin, and says “Ed!” Nov 07 21:57:47 *Hh and Inga laugh at this* Nov 07 21:58:09 Yeah, exactly... Nov 07 21:58:17 * Morgan moves to put the coffee down Nov 07 21:58:59 *Emil puts his head back down* Ed bah mmmm ee-bah Nov 07 21:59:13 Would you mind doing mine, my love? Nov 07 21:59:23 * Morgan nods, pouring her coffee and bringing it over Nov 07 21:59:38 *Hh and Inga exchange a brief smirk* Nov 07 22:01:14 HH: so what’s there’s little jobs need doin’? Nov 07 22:01:22 * Molly thanks him quietly Nov 07 22:01:39 these* Nov 07 22:01:56 * Morgan puts a hand on her tummy Nov 07 22:02:13 Waiting on Ghalen to bring back someone to look over the plans for Elsies cottage... Nov 07 22:02:30 *Emil looks up at him with a squawk of protest* Nov 07 22:02:58 HH: I coulda done that for ya Nov 07 22:03:55 You weren't here Nov 07 22:04:02 * Morgan uses the other hand to stroke Emils hair Nov 07 22:05:18 * Molly smiles fondly at him, but it isn’t particularly flirty as usual Nov 07 22:05:32 HH: What Elsie? Nov 07 22:05:43 else* Nov 07 22:06:21 Got to get a cream down to some girls in the brothel... find time to pray with Edward and my father... Nov 07 22:06:42 HH nods slowly: I could go do that Nov 07 22:08:15 $could be a bit nosey, find out how much time he’s actually working down there, and how much is lusting over women he shouldn’t be$ Nov 07 22:08:52 * Molly and Inga exchange a glance, but it’s hard to decipher Nov 07 22:08:57 * Morgan nods a little Nov 07 22:09:03 That would be very useful... Nov 07 22:09:26 *HH nods, drinking his coffee* Prob’ly not open yet Nov 07 22:10:06 * Molly looks to Morgan “Did you wish to go too?” Nov 07 22:10:28 Not especially... Nov 07 22:10:45 * Molly nods, smiling “Alright” Nov 07 22:11:25 *HH looks to Inga* That alright with you, lil darlin? Nov 07 22:11:56 *Inga smirks* Yes, I don’t mind if he goes or not Nov 07 22:12:21 *HH laughs* Nov 07 22:12:27 I can if you'd like some time together... Nov 07 22:13:04 HH: Man, I’m so wrecked from last night an’ this mornin’, don’t put me out to stud again! Nov 07 22:13:24 * Molly and Inga giggle Nov 07 22:14:26 I was talking the Molly and Inga... Nov 07 22:14:52 *they all laugh at this, and Emil chuckles too* Nov 07 22:15:56 * Morgan rubs Molly's tummy before tapping a little Nov 07 22:16:15 It’s fine, my love, you can do what you please, stay if you wish, or go if you wish. I’m not sure there’s likely to be a Quiet Hour today Nov 07 22:16:41 *her belly feels both soft and firm, but nothing changes Nov 07 22:16:49 No, probably not Nov 07 22:17:24 *Inga says “that’s unlucky”, like she had in the hall Nov 07 22:18:19 [unless you would like an hour to listen to your son and see if you can feel any movement?] Nov 07 22:18:41 [that is extremely tempting... but time with our loved ones is short] Nov 07 22:19:02 [yes...] Nov 07 22:19:46 * Molly keeps a sidelong mischievous glance on him [you could take your brother, father, and uncle with you, to spend time with family!] Nov 07 22:20:39 [I think not, I've already had stern looks from father about that place] Nov 07 22:20:57 [it’s nothing like as bad as he thinks] Nov 07 22:21:23 They are very good at poker, be warned, Heinzharold! Nov 07 22:21:46 *he grins* Yeah, but I’m -excellent- at it Nov 07 22:22:24 They beat me at it more often than not Nov 07 22:22:46 *HH grimaces* Yeah, okay... I’ll be careful Nov 07 22:23:03 * Morgan nods Nov 07 22:23:58 HH: Not gonn be stayin that long, wanna be back to my special girl Nov 07 22:24:11 *Inga smiles, blushing* Nov 07 22:24:59 $seriously, look how fucking easy it is just to not make them feel like shit$ Nov 07 22:25:57 * Morgan nods a little, tapping her belly Nov 07 22:27:10 * Molly smiles at him before saying “Oh, Heinzharold, I think they do a sideline in fresh produce, they might have a little garden out the back?” Nov 07 22:29:32 *HH nods* You need summat buyin’? Nov 07 22:31:10 * Molly nods “Ask if they have any courgettes or large carrots, would you?” Nov 07 22:32:47 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 07 22:52:06 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
