**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Nov 10 16:26:16 2025 Nov 10 16:26:16 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Nov 10 18:22:28 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Nov 10 18:25:03 it’d be easier if he was bad at this job, then you could wash your hands of him Nov 10 18:25:03 * Morgan nods Nov 10 18:25:03 aye Nov 10 18:25:03 He should give it up if it’s hurting her though, that’s just cruel Nov 10 18:25:03 I agree... and its not like its a big ask Nov 10 18:25:05 * Alice nods Nov 10 18:25:09 Just don’t look. I don’t look at Heinzharold when we’ve been swimming in the lake, it’s not that tough Nov 10 18:25:11 And he's -really- pretty Nov 10 18:25:13 * Alice nods Nov 10 18:25:15 He is. And I’m not even married. But I wouldn’t want to upset -anyone- Nov 10 18:25:17 * Morgan nods Nov 10 18:25:19 Its cruel Nov 10 18:25:21 Does he -need-to even go in there? Nov 10 18:25:23 To be fair, its a great place to pick up information Nov 10 18:25:25 * Alice nods Nov 10 18:25:27 He just needs better self control and decency then Nov 10 18:25:29 Yes, he does Nov 10 18:25:31 You could tell him to pack it in or you’ll look for a new overseer you can actually trust to be good to his word. If he can’t keep a vow made to his wife before God, how can you be sure he can keep his word to run Innesbruck in an honest and responsible manner? Nov 10 18:25:34 * Morgan nods Nov 10 18:25:38 That might be worth a try Nov 10 18:25:40 * Alice nods “You have moral standards for the men you let crew your ships, why not for other employees? After all, their behaviour reflects on you too Nov 10 18:25:43 * Morgan nods Nov 10 18:25:45 Its worth considering, certainly Nov 10 18:25:47 * Alice nods Nov 10 18:28:05 * Morgan sighs Nov 10 18:28:09 I wish he didn't keep letting me down Nov 10 18:28:49 * Molly is now known as Alice Nov 10 18:29:10 Some people are always disappointing Nov 10 18:29:28 Hey, I didn't realise we were talking about me... Nov 10 18:29:52 * Alice laughs Nov 10 18:30:14 You’re not a disappointment. I’m proud to have you as Florrie’s uncle Nov 10 18:32:04 * Morgan smiles almost bashfully Nov 10 18:32:58 She’s going to miss her Ballhead Nov 10 18:33:05 * Morgan nods Nov 10 18:33:09 I'm going to miss her terribly Nov 10 18:33:54 * Alice nods Nov 10 18:34:11 I had no idea you’d all come to love her this much Nov 10 18:35:41 * Morgan smiles Nov 10 18:35:58 Painful as its been... she's an absolute treasure Nov 10 18:36:14 * Alice nods, smiling “I like to think so” Nov 10 18:37:51 Looks like you're stuck with Yensid all the way to Freiburg... Nov 10 18:39:07 * Alice nods “He looks like he hasn’t bathed in years” Nov 10 18:39:50 * Morgan nods Nov 10 18:39:54 He's... unsavoury Nov 10 18:42:04 * Alice nods Nov 10 18:42:09 I’ve met worse though Nov 10 18:42:42 You won't have met anyone as good as him at what he does though... Nov 10 18:43:20 What actually does he do? He’s sometimes around, sometimes gone Nov 10 18:44:24 He's very good at ferreting out information... he's about the only person capable of creeping up on me... Nov 10 18:45:30 * Alice nods “Useful but sleazy then” Nov 10 18:45:51 * Morgan nods Nov 10 18:45:54 Accurate Nov 10 18:46:27 Do you like him Nov 10 18:46:28 ? Nov 10 18:46:45 I respect him Nov 10 18:47:48 * Alice smiles “That’s fair” Nov 10 18:48:03 * Morgan nods Nov 10 18:48:13 I cant say I really understood him before quite recently Nov 10 18:48:31 No? He’s been your father’s friend a long time? Nov 10 18:49:00 They served together in the war... Yensid protected him a lot Nov 10 18:49:23 * Alice nods Nov 10 18:49:38 I’m surprised how Florrie’s taken to your father Nov 10 18:51:00 So am I... frankly, I'm surprised how well he adapted to her ability... Nov 10 18:52:00 * Alice nods Nov 10 18:52:15 She’s amazing Nov 10 18:52:41 * Morgan nods Nov 10 18:52:44 Yes she is Nov 10 18:53:56 keeping it hidden isn’t going to be easy for her Nov 10 18:55:24 No... I'm not looking forward to dealing with that with my own either... Nov 10 18:56:22 * Alice nods Nov 10 18:56:32 You’re expecting something with all of them? Nov 10 18:57:19 Oh yes... Hirschens is already manifesting Nov 10 18:58:00 Hiding? Nov 10 18:59:21 * Morgan nods Nov 10 18:59:41 Little blighter can already do better naturally what I developed a skill for Nov 10 18:59:59 * Alice laughs Nov 10 19:00:20 You must be desperate to get back there to see if you can feel him again Nov 10 19:01:01 Just a bit... Nov 10 19:02:35 * Alice smiles “But also if you start that sort of thing you’ll be too busy to spend time with everyone?” Nov 10 19:02:45 * Morgan blushes Nov 10 19:02:47 Might be... Nov 10 19:03:37 * Alice laughs “unfortunate “ Nov 10 19:04:53 * Morgan nods, looking around Nov 10 19:05:45 *More people politely acknowledge him* Nov 10 19:05:50 Popular here then Nov 10 19:06:48 * Morgan greets them Nov 10 19:07:18 Generally speaking I'm fairly popular in Sudlachenburg... getting that way in Gottkirchen... Nov 10 19:07:36 Just need to spend a bit more time there still? Nov 10 19:08:41 * Morgan nods Nov 10 19:08:45 They don't know me yet Nov 10 19:09:02 * Alice smiles “They’ll like you when they do” Nov 10 19:10:58 Time will tell... the problem I've got there is that I'm changing the official faith of the Grafdom Nov 10 19:12:14 * Alice nods “How are you going to handle it?” Nov 10 19:12:34 * Morgan smiles a little Nov 10 19:13:34 By taking faith out of it... the big worry from the Vaticine community is that I'll strip out the funding for helping the poor and needy... problem is their church will stop getting the tithes, it goes to the Objectionist church instead... Nov 10 19:14:18 * Alice nods Nov 10 19:14:42 That’s what the old king did in Avalon, so I don’t think their fears are unreasonable Nov 10 19:15:24 * Morgan nods Nov 10 19:15:52 Its happened several times... so my personal tithes will go to my church, and I'm setting up a secular fund tied to neither church Nov 10 19:17:03 * Alice nods, looking impressed “good idea” Nov 10 19:17:16 I wish I could take credit for it Nov 10 19:17:25 * Alice laughs “why can’t you?” Nov 10 19:17:44 Because it would be dishonest... it was my fathers suggestion Nov 10 19:18:05 * Alice nods Nov 10 19:18:16 He seems like a well-respected Graf Nov 10 19:18:41 * Morgan nods Nov 10 19:18:59 I think so... there was a bit of worry around my actions but it seems that damage is mostly undone Nov 10 19:20:11 * Alice nods Nov 10 19:20:25 It’s good to move forward Nov 10 19:22:16 * Morgan nods Nov 10 19:22:23 Aye... difficult at times Nov 10 19:23:00 * Alice nods “starting over always is” Nov 10 19:25:34 * Morgan nods Nov 10 19:25:48 I realised earlier more time has passed since the fire than I had with Dietlinde... Nov 10 19:25:58 * Alice nods Nov 10 19:26:15 time sneaks on like that Nov 10 19:27:31 * Morgan nods Nov 10 19:27:33 Yes it does Nov 10 19:28:07 you can’t spend ever day looking back like that Nov 10 19:29:28 No, I know but... it feels... disrespectful, you know? Nov 10 19:30:38 I do Nov 10 19:31:15 * Morgan nods Nov 10 19:33:19 Wouldn’t she have understood that you’re just trying to do your best? Nov 10 19:33:55 Ah but grief is sneaky and not even slightly logical Nov 10 19:36:30 * Alice nods “true” Nov 10 19:37:16 * Morgan nods Nov 10 19:37:20 Of course its true, I said it Nov 10 19:39:07 * Alice laughs Nov 10 19:41:57 * Morgan smiles, looking briefly at the sky Nov 10 19:43:09 *the day looks quite clear. There’s no sign of his hawks* Nov 10 19:44:04 You looking forward to getting home? Nov 10 19:44:37 Yes and no Nov 10 19:46:03 Both? Nov 10 19:46:16 * Alice nods Nov 10 19:47:01 I’m looking forward to hearing the sea all the time, and getting out on the Ketch most days, but I’ll miss having so much help with her Nov 10 19:47:31 * Morgan nods Nov 10 19:47:39 Not a great deal I can think of to help with that I'm afraid Nov 10 19:49:44 No, it’ll be fine Nov 10 19:50:10 * Morgan nods Nov 10 19:52:12 *they arrive back to the house just before four o’clock* Nov 10 19:53:11 I’d best see where Florrie is Nov 10 19:53:24 * Morgan nods Nov 10 19:53:33 Alright love... I'll go make sure the boys have bathed Nov 10 19:54:59 * Alice nods, going into the house Nov 10 19:56:13 * Morgan goes looking for Molly Nov 10 19:58:01 *he finds her in the kitchen. Emil is strapped in to the chair with the tray, playing with some spoons. She’s got an apron on, straps under her bust and then tied off under her bump. It’s very domestic just the two of them Nov 10 19:58:38 What you up to? Nov 10 20:00:05 * Alice is now known as Molly Nov 10 20:00:10 * Molly smiles Nov 10 20:00:19 I was about to make some cake Nov 10 20:00:28 E: Vati ooon! Nov 10 20:00:29 Oh right Nov 10 20:02:23 You've got a spoon? Nov 10 20:02:48 *Emil waves it around* Nov 10 20:03:13 Well, look at you... Nov 10 20:04:30 * Molly smiles “He’s very happy today” Nov 10 20:05:20 * Morgan nods Nov 10 20:05:22 So I see Nov 10 20:06:24 * Molly rubs her bump a moment “Would you like tea? Or are you due to be elsewhere?” Nov 10 20:07:13 Some tea would be lovely Nov 10 20:08:24 * Molly starts making it. Emil throws the spoon with a laugh Nov 10 20:09:05 Woah there lad... Nov 10 20:09:51 * Molly laughs “He keeps doing that. I’m glad you’re back, bending over for you will be much easier!” Nov 10 20:10:04 * Morgan laughs, picking the spoon up Nov 10 20:11:56 *Emil throws another, laughing* Nov 10 20:12:15 How was your visit to the town? Nov 10 20:12:29 * Morgan picks that up as well Nov 10 20:12:36 Not bad... bumped into Sarah... Nov 10 20:13:01 Oh! Are the children well! Nov 10 20:13:02 ? Nov 10 20:13:11 * Morgan nods Nov 10 20:13:24 *Emil does the last one* Nov 10 20:13:27 Very well... one of the former clergy has setup rooms for a little school... Nov 10 20:13:34 * Morgan picks up the last one, juggling them Nov 10 20:15:17 *Emil watches the moving spoons raptly* Nov 10 20:15:53 That’s a nice idea... I think it would be fitting for us to put some money into such a cause... Nov 10 20:16:03 I'm inclined to agree Nov 10 20:18:11 * Molly smiles putting the tea beside him on the cupboard Nov 10 20:18:23 I’d like to see more schools for children Nov 10 20:19:52 * Morgan nods, watching the spoons Nov 10 20:19:53 Me too Nov 10 20:20:50 *Emil squawks for them* Nov 10 20:21:06 In Kempten too, definitely Nov 10 20:21:24 * Morgan nods, stopping juggling before putting the spoons in front of Emil Nov 10 20:23:56 * Molly moves to him, a gentle hand on his back “How are -you- now?” Nov 10 20:24:30 *She definitely smells more like normal now, pregnant and rosey* Nov 10 20:24:30 * Morgan shrugs Nov 10 20:24:40 Having a bit of an up and down sort of day Nov 10 20:24:58 * Molly nods sadly “To be expected, I think” Nov 10 20:25:37 * Morgan nods Nov 10 20:25:39 I think so Nov 10 20:27:09 Things will get better Nov 10 20:27:44 * Morgan nods Nov 10 20:27:49 Aye should do Nov 10 20:28:46 * Molly smiles “I missed you.” Nov 10 20:30:17 And I you Nov 10 20:30:47 Your sons also missed you Nov 10 20:32:04 Did the boys take their baths? Nov 10 20:32:10 * Molly laughs Nov 10 20:32:22 Yea, they did -not- enjoy them Nov 10 20:32:53 * Morgan shrugs Nov 10 20:33:11 Shouldn't have thrown eggs at each other then... that Rickons walking a fine line... Nov 10 20:33:36 * Molly nods Nov 10 20:34:29 He’s very outspoken Nov 10 20:34:55 * Morgan nods Nov 10 20:35:20 He's walking a fine line of lying too... I asked if they were eggs intended for us to eat... he said they weren't from the kitchen.. Nov 10 20:37:18 hmm... they weren’t from the kitchen, but were intended -for- the kitchen? Nov 10 20:37:59 They got them from the henhouses Nov 10 20:39:14 * Molly nods Nov 10 20:39:33 It’s not quite a lie, but it’s extremely close to it Nov 10 20:39:59 It was true... but not honest Nov 10 20:40:32 * Molly nods Nov 10 20:41:51 I would suggest that his father needs to speak to him about manners and honesty... Nov 10 20:43:39 But his word cannot be trusted Nov 10 20:44:56 * Molly nods, sighing Nov 10 20:46:08 I think perhaps you should then, my love Nov 10 20:46:37 Me?! Nov 10 20:49:00 Who else, liebling? Nov 10 20:49:59 * Morgan sighs Nov 10 20:50:19 I'd need to check in with Hildegarde... Nov 10 20:51:17 * Molly nods “She was just going up to see if Mina needed anything” Nov 10 20:52:30 * Morgan nods, picking up his tea Nov 10 20:52:34 She'll probably be back soon then Nov 10 20:53:48 * Molly nods. He has to pick up the spoons three more times before Hildegarde arrives Nov 10 20:54:40 Hildegarde... I was wondering if I could have a word about Rickon... Nov 10 20:56:02 * Molly is now known as Hildegarde Nov 10 20:56:12 * Hildegarde nods “Of course, my Lord” Nov 10 20:58:15 I'm concerned about him... when the boys were challenged about the eggs I asked if they were eggs meant for eating... he said they weren't from the kitchen... Nov 10 20:59:02 * Hildegarde sighs “I am sorry about that. He’s got a habit of thinking he’s being funny and clever like that” Nov 10 20:59:10 * Morgan nods Nov 10 21:00:10 My concern is that its a very easy road to start walking down without realising... I think he could do with a conversation about honesty... in truth, I quite like the cheeky humour, but, while what he said was true, it was dishonest Nov 10 21:01:23 * Hildegarde nods Nov 10 21:02:00 He needs to know where and when it’s appropriate though Nov 10 21:03:03 Yes he does... I'd have suggested Heinrich has that conversation but... frankly I don't think he can speak with any authority about honesty Nov 10 21:03:37 * Hildegarde looks embarrassed about this, then nods Nov 10 21:05:31 What do you suggest? Nov 10 21:06:25 * Hildegarde sighs “I wish I could say he’d listen to me, but you know how boys are” Nov 10 21:07:10 Stubborn, ignorant, wilful... full of potential Nov 10 21:08:13 * Hildegarde nods “He’s all of them” Nov 10 21:08:19 * Morgan nods Nov 10 21:08:24 If you like... I'll talk to him Nov 10 21:09:50 would you mind? Nov 10 21:09:58 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 10 21:10:02 No, I don't mind Nov 10 21:10:47 * Hildegarde smiles “Maybe he’ll listen to you” Nov 10 21:11:24 I hope so... Nov 10 21:12:32 me too Nov 10 21:13:55 *Molly is watching out of the back door, pinching her lower lip like she first started doing after he’d kissed her in Carleon* Nov 10 21:14:23 I think they were out playing on the climbing thing he made Nov 10 21:15:44 * Morgan nods Nov 10 21:15:48 I'll go have a talk with him then Nov 10 21:16:28 * Hildegarde nods, thanking him. Molly doesn’t seem to be listening to their conversation Nov 10 21:17:51 * Morgan tickles Emils chin before moving to the door Nov 10 21:17:57 I'll be back soon love Nov 10 21:18:47 *Molly looks up* Hmm? Nov 10 21:19:52 I'll be back soon... I'm going to talk to Rickon Nov 10 21:20:13 *Molly smiles fondly at him* Yes, my love Nov 10 21:22:15 * Morgan nods, carrying his tea and heading out into the grounds to find the boys Nov 10 21:23:24 *the three of them are indeed back to jumping off the platform and climbing back up* Nov 10 21:24:06 * Morgan calls to Rickon Nov 10 21:25:15 * Hildegarde is now known as Rickon Nov 10 21:26:04 * Rickon comes running over, flicking his still-damp hair off his face “Alright, Guv?” If he’s upset about being made to bathe, there’s no sign of it Nov 10 21:26:38 You and I need to have a conversation Nov 10 21:26:57 * Rickon frowns, looking a little wary “Okay” Nov 10 21:27:37 * Morgan motions him to follow before moving further from the others and sitting down on the grass Nov 10 21:30:32 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 10 21:40:29 * Rickon has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
