Molly doesn’t seem to be listening to their conversation Nov 11 18:59:45 * Morgan tickles Emils chin before moving to the door Nov 11 18:59:47 I'll be back soon love Nov 11 18:59:49 *Molly looks up* Hmm? Nov 11 18:59:51 I'll be back soon... I'm going to talk to Rickon Nov 11 18:59:53 *Molly smiles fondly at him* Yes, my love Nov 11 18:59:55 * Morgan nods, carrying his tea and heading out into the grounds to find the boys Nov 11 18:59:57 *the three of them are indeed back to jumping off the platform and climbing back up* Nov 11 18:59:59 * Morgan calls to Rickon Nov 11 19:00:01 * Hildegarde is now known as Rickon Nov 11 19:00:03 * 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 11 19:00:05 You and I need to have a conversation Nov 11 19:00:07 * Rickon frowns, looking a little wary “Okay” Nov 11 19:00:09 * Morgan motions him to follow before moving further from the others and sitting down on the grass Nov 11 19:00:26 * Molly is now known as Rickon Nov 11 19:01:06 * Rickon sits too Nov 11 19:01:53 So what do you think we're going to talk about? Nov 11 19:02:51 I suppose it might be about the eggs... Nov 11 19:03:27 * Morgan nods Nov 11 19:03:35 And what do you think I'm going to say? Nov 11 19:04:46 * Rickon looks uneasy Nov 11 19:04:52 Not to do it again? Nov 11 19:05:17 What makes you uneasy? Nov 11 19:06:19 I don’t like getting told off Nov 11 19:06:32 Why's that? Nov 11 19:06:44 No likes being told off Nov 11 19:08:03 And what about it do you think would prompt me to tell you off? Nov 11 19:09:20 Throwing eggs Nov 11 19:11:07 The problem is that when I asked what they were for, the answer you gave me wasn't what I asked... it was -barely- the truth, and it certainly wasn't honest Nov 11 19:12:37 * Rickon nods Nov 11 19:13:08 I didn’t really think about how we were going to eat them when we took them Nov 11 19:13:47 No... but did you think about it when I asked, before you answered? Nov 11 19:14:02 * Rickon nods Nov 11 19:14:28 So, really, the answer you gave was a bit dishonest, wasn't it... Nov 11 19:14:39 * Rickon nods guiltily Nov 11 19:16:02 Thats not a nice feeling you're having right now, is it? Nov 11 19:17:03 No, Milord Nov 11 19:19:49 You're at a point where the things you do now will affect how people see you in the future... when you get caught doing something maybe you shouldn't be, it'll be so much better if you're honest... you'll still get told off, but generally, once its done, its over... but if you aren't honest, they will start thinking they cant trust what you say, you know? Nov 11 19:20:05 * Rickon nods sadly Nov 11 19:20:17 I want people to like me... Nov 11 19:20:39 * Morgan smiles a little Nov 11 19:21:05 You've got a lot of people who love you... and some people won't like you, because thats just the way it is sometimes... Nov 11 19:22:03 * Rickon scuffs at the grass with his boot Nov 11 19:22:11 Lots of people don’t like me Nov 11 19:22:21 Like who? Nov 11 19:24:02 people in the village, they say I’m too boisterous Nov 11 19:25:04 They don't know you, though... they don't know how kind or funny you are, all they know is when you're bouncing about and loud... Nov 11 19:26:56 * Rickon nods Nov 11 19:27:17 People say I’m a bad kid because I’m too much Nov 11 19:27:44 * Morgan frowns Nov 11 19:27:50 They're wrong... Nov 11 19:28:35 * Rickon shrugs Nov 11 19:29:02 I just want to play and not get told off all the time Nov 11 19:30:25 Be naughty a bit less and the latter won't happen... and I'm not telling you off Nov 11 19:31:07 * Rickon nods Nov 11 19:31:47 I’ll try, Milord *he glances to where there’s movement near the house, then sighs* Now I’ll get told off again Nov 11 19:32:00 * Morgan looks over Nov 11 19:33:50 *Heinrich has returned, and is looking over at them* Nov 11 19:34:27 * Morgan shrugs a little, looking back at Rickon Nov 11 19:34:57 Don't worry about it... what I need you to do is try to be a little less cheeky to grown ups... and a bit more honest when things go wrong, alright? Nov 11 19:35:32 * Rickon nods but stays quiet Nov 11 19:36:11 What are you worrying about Rickon? Maybe I can help? Nov 11 19:37:54 I’ll get told off again by Heinrich. I hate getting told off. Noone understands that I’m not trying to be bad Nov 11 19:38:36 Why would he tell you off? Nov 11 19:39:51 Because he’ll find out what I did Nov 11 19:41:00 Maybe... but it was dealt with, as far as I'm concerned, it was dealt with Nov 11 19:41:55 That won’t matter to him Nov 11 19:43:15 Do you know what my job as a father is? Nov 11 19:44:05 * Rickon sounds like he’s reciting “Providing a roof and food” Nov 11 19:44:36 * Morgan watches him Nov 11 19:45:10 Well, yes... but more important than that... my job is to guide my children so they know right from wrong, how to behave when they've done wrong... Nov 11 19:46:45 * Rickon nods, but he looks distracted by Heinrich watching them Nov 11 19:48:21 Is he mean to you? Nov 11 19:49:13 * Rickon shakes his head “No, but he’s stricter than Mama” Nov 11 19:49:54 Thats sometimes just how things are... Nov 11 19:51:39 * Rickon sighs Nov 11 19:51:54 Can you imagine how strict my father could be? Nov 11 19:54:10 why, Milord? Nov 11 19:54:22 You don't think I was always good do you? Nov 11 19:55:49 Yes I do! Nov 11 19:57:41 * Morgan laughs Nov 11 19:58:20 Oh good lord no... the day I first met HeinzHarold... I caught him stealing apples... but I was only there because I was pilfering them too... I got told of a -lot- when I was younger Nov 11 19:58:38 * Rickon laughs Nov 11 19:59:02 When did you stop getting told off? Nov 11 19:59:14 I'll let you know when it happens Nov 11 20:00:38 * Rickon smiles “who tells you off now?” Nov 11 20:01:10 Oh my father still does Nov 11 20:02:18 does he? Nov 11 20:02:51 * Morgan nods Nov 11 20:02:53 Frequently Nov 11 20:04:57 why? Nov 11 20:06:27 Oh I often do things that annoy him... sometimes I have no choice, sometimes its not on purpose, but thats just how fathers are Nov 11 20:08:25 * Rickon nods Nov 11 20:09:08 *Heinrich goes into the kitchen through the back door Nov 11 20:09:17 Can I go to play now? Nov 11 20:13:36 Yeah, go on kid Nov 11 20:15:19 * Rickon gets up and runs off Nov 11 20:15:50 * Morgan gets up, sipping his tea as he moves back toward the house Nov 11 20:16:59 *He can hear laughter from upstairs, it sounds like Mina, Molly, and Inga Nov 11 20:17:24 * Morgan goes looking for Heinrich Nov 11 20:19:23 *Heinrich is found in the kitchen unpacking a basket of food. Hildegarde is here too, but they aren’t interacting with each other Nov 11 20:19:35 Heinrich, with me please Nov 11 20:20:52 * Rickon is now known as Heinrich Nov 11 20:20:57 * Heinrich follows him Nov 11 20:21:13 * Morgan heads to the stables, making sure they're empty before closing the doors Nov 11 20:23:07 * Heinrich stands, watchful Nov 11 20:23:35 * Morgan goes to sit on a hay bale, taking out his flask Nov 11 20:25:04 Drink? Nov 11 20:25:31 * Heinrich shakes his head “No thank you” Nov 11 20:25:48 * Morgan nods, sipping it Nov 11 20:26:45 You have a choice in front of you Nov 11 20:28:06 My Lord? Nov 11 20:29:48 Firstly... you either choose to continue hurting your wife, or you stop staring at working girls tits... which is more important to you? Nov 11 20:31:26 * Heinrich looks surprised by this “My wife, my Lord” Nov 11 20:32:17 Then why is it such a struggle? Why are you still doing it when you know it hurts her? Nov 11 20:36:51 * Heinrich sighs “I guess it’s just selfish. I like looking at the girls, and it doesn’t seem like a big deal to me. But I suppose it doesn’t really matter what I think or want” Nov 11 20:38:06 I think you need to reframe it... its simply a question of what matters more to you, not hurting the woman you love, or seeing the breasts of someone you've no interest in Nov 11 20:47:31 * Heinrich nods Nov 11 20:47:52 I hear that Nov 11 20:51:16 So what are you going to do about it? Nov 11 20:52:30 * Heinrich sighs “I’ll just have to give in, won’t I? Seems like I am always the one making the sacrifices” Nov 11 20:53:48 Like what? Nov 11 20:59:00 Not staying out late, where we live, disciplining Rickon Nov 11 20:59:34 Not staying out late is because she wants to spend time with you, you great clot... she's not trying to limit you, she wants to be with you Nov 11 21:07:46 Sometimes I just want to spend time with the people in the tavern Nov 11 21:08:13 * Morgan nods Nov 11 21:08:18 Perhaps a compromise can be reached Nov 11 21:09:52 * Heinrich sits down on a mounting block Nov 11 21:10:18 Sometimes it just chafes. I love her, and Rickon, but I do miss making my own choices Nov 11 21:11:17 Have yo spoken to her about it? Not like earlier where you got defensive, but properly spoke to her Nov 11 21:12:38 I know she’ll only take it as me saying that they’re a burden Nov 11 21:18:01 Do you? Or are you assuming? Nov 11 21:19:23 Mostly the latter Nov 11 21:20:29 Perhaps its time to ask... and assure her that thats not the case Nov 11 21:21:37 Perhaps. Nov 11 21:21:58 Surely its better than the alternative Nov 11 21:24:26 * Heinrich nods “I didn’t realise she was going to draw you into it. I am not happy about that” Nov 11 21:25:46 I can understand that... but its more that I'm observant and, realistically, we are family Nov 11 21:26:44 * Heinrich nods “I still think she’s making a mountain out of a molehill” Nov 11 21:28:10 If she was staring at virile young men even if it upset you, would you think the same? Nov 11 21:29:59 I wouldn’t like it, but I do also appreciate that she will still find other men attractive Nov 11 21:33:05 You wouldn't like it... frankly, Heinrich, I'd go through the fucking roof if Molly did that after I told her how it hurt me... and I think you'd do the same... Nov 11 21:34:19 * Heinrich nods a little “Maybe... it’s hard to imagine how I’d feel, because she’s not that type” Nov 11 21:35:19 I'd suggest you put some thought into it... it might help you understand how fundamentally painful it is for her... Nov 11 21:36:39 She’s explained before, but I don’t really get it. She’s my -wife-. I do -everything- to see they are safe and fed. I’m not looking to swive anyone else. Nov 11 21:38:25 Like I said... spend some time imagining it was the other way around Nov 11 21:40:05 * Heinrich nods “I will try” Nov 11 21:42:50 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 11 21:57:46 * Heinrich has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 11 23:42:02 * Disconnected (Connection reset by peer) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Nov 11 23:42:02 2025
