Nov 14 18:49:45 Could be Castilian Nov 14 18:49:47 * Molly giggles Nov 14 18:49:49 Mmm you’ve mentioned this before... about their piety, and how much time they spend on their knees... Nov 14 18:49:53 * Morgan shrugs Nov 14 18:49:55 I'm struggling to recall one I liked Nov 14 18:49:57 * Molly nods slowly Nov 14 18:49:59 I do not think I’ve encountered one so far Nov 14 18:50:01 Wasn't there that one with the daft hat? Nov 14 18:50:03 Possibly... *she glances at him* Much of those months were taken up by my wishing to kiss you and not knowing how to make that happen, so my memory is patchy at best Nov 14 18:50:06 * Morgan nods a little Nov 14 18:50:08 * Molly smiles “Which explains how you remember so much more, you were less distracted!” She sticks her tongue out at him Nov 14 18:50:11 Hardly Nov 14 18:50:13 Oh? Nov 14 18:50:15 I was arguing with Captain Tsaylur at the time Nov 14 18:50:46 * Molly nods, blushing “Yes... I recall now...” Nov 14 18:51:21 * Morgan nods Nov 14 18:53:07 I believe I was learning about how two gentlemen who are very friendly might go to Westfeld together...

Nov 14 18:58:38 * Molly nods Nov 14 18:59:03 And then I was curious. Nov 14 19:00:29 I recall that... Nov 14 19:01:00 * Molly smiles “I hope you’ll enjoy recalling that whilst I go to help the children...” Nov 14 19:01:33 * Morgan nods Nov 14 19:01:36 I daresay I will Nov 14 19:02:18 * Molly nods, kissing his cheek Nov 14 19:06:01 Maybe later you’ll meet me in Westfeld, hmm? Nov 14 19:06:13 Possibly, yes Nov 14 19:07:45 * Molly smiles, watching him. Then the silence is broken by the opening of the kitchen door Nov 14 19:08:14 HH: What are you pair doin’ dallyin’ out here by the back door? Nov 14 19:08:29 * Molly smiles, trying not to laugh Nov 14 19:09:13 algebra Nov 14 19:10:13 HH nods: one plus one makes three... *he points at her belly* Nov 14 19:11:47 * Morgan nods Nov 14 19:11:49 quite Nov 14 19:12:16 * Molly smiles “I’m going to see to the children...” Nov 14 19:12:30 * Molly is now known as HH Nov 14 19:12:42 * HH bows to her “Yes, my Queen” Nov 14 19:13:06 * Morgan rolls his eyes Nov 14 19:13:31 *Molly goes in.

Nov 14 20:35:53 * HH grins “Couldn’t find anythin’ as small as yer member to detach anyhow” Nov 14 20:36:20 * Morgan smiles, closing his eyes and readying himself Nov 14 20:37:54 * HH removes closer, but goes to punch him in the gut rather than use his sword Nov 14 20:38:05 * Morgan twists, moving out of the way Nov 14 20:38:45 * HH chuckles, trying to slap the back of his legs with the flat of the sword Nov 14 20:38:58 * Morgan blocks it with his sword Nov 14 20:40:46 * HH launches into a series of moves, not too risky, but quick enough to make it more challenging Nov 14 20:41:10 * Morgan moves to block them Nov 14 20:42:05 *he manages this, though does get a couple of bumps that don’t cause much pain or any injury Nov 14 20:42:38 * Morgan nods, going on the attack Nov 14 20:44:24 * HH is able to defend well Nov 14 20:44:55 * Morgan does this back and forth for ten minutes before stopping Nov 14 20:47:30 * HH nods, looking impressed Nov 14 20:47:39 Pretty awesome, man Nov 14 20:48:10 * Morgan smiles, opening his eyes Nov 14 20:49:48 God damn I'm dangerous Nov 14 20:50:11 * HH nods Nov 14 20:50:24 Wouldn’ wanna go up against ya in a real fight Nov 14 20:50:48 * Morgan smiles a little Nov 14 20:50:55 I'm a little more... savage.

Nov 14 21:11:47 * HH nods, grinning “Yep, so we may as well have fun” Nov 14 21:13:38 * Morgan nods, examining the edge on his sword Nov 14 21:14:00 *it could do with some sharpening, it’s been a while* Nov 14 21:14:18 Any idea what we’re eating tonight?

Hildegarde is working on dinner with Elsie and Theresa. it’s a bit of a squeeze Nov 14 21:46:13 Ever get the feeling you're in the way before you even enter a room? Nov 14 21:46:49 * HH nods “Yeah” Nov 14 21:47:11 Hil: You can come through, I think they’re putting the children to bed Nov 14 21:47:25 * Morgan nods, moving through the room Nov 14 21:48:59 * HH follows, telling them how good it all smells Nov 14 21:50:04 *He can already hear Varick protesting upstairs when he gets to the hall* Nov 14 21:50:42 * Morgan heads in his direction Nov 14 21:51:42 * HH follows upstairs too. Varick is shouting that it’s not fair Nov 14 21:52:47 Whats not fair? Nov 14 21:53:48 *Molly is sat on Varick’s bed nursing Emil whilst Varick shouts “I don’t -want- to go to bed now!” Nov 14 21:54:09 Excuse me... you will not raise your voice to your mama Nov 14 21:54:35 V: She’s being mean and treating me like a baby! Nov 14 21:54:56 It might feel that way, but thats not how it is Nov 14 21:55:26 *Molly watches this whilst gently patting Emil* Mauschen, I only want you to be well-rested for tomorrow Nov 14 21:56:10 *Varick looks cross* I will! But my friends don’t have to go to bed now, their Mamas aren’t so strict like you! Nov 14 21:56:13 * HH is now known as Molly Nov 14 21:56:39 *he can see the hurt in her micro expression, but she doesn’t give it away* Nov 14 21:57:57 * Morgan watches him Nov 14 21:58:30 *He looks defiant* Nov 14 21:59:26 They're both older than you Nov 14 22:00:02 V: Not much, Vati! Nov 14 22:01:03 I daresay Rickon would be in bed if he didn't have to wait for his mother... Nov 14 22:02:42 V: Not at six! That’s when babies go to bed! Nov 14 22:04:58 Fine, you can stay up and do some learning Nov 14 22:05:21 V: *he looks suspicious * what sort of learning Nov 14 22:05:47 Maths. Nov 14 22:07:24 V: Maths?! No! Nov 14 22:07:49 * Molly smiles faintly, smoothing Emil’s dark hair back Nov 14 22:08:52 That is your option... Nov 14 22:09:44 Varick sighs: That’s not fair! Nov 14 22:10:14 * Morgan shrugs Nov 14 22:10:40 I don't imagine either of the others think it fair they have to stay up because one of them is working and the other is waiting for his mother, who is working... Nov 14 22:11:56 *Varick seems to think this over: What if I helped with the chores? Nov 14 22:12:30 Fine, but there'll be no playing Nov 14 22:13:02 And tomorrow there is not to be a word of complaint because you're tired Nov 14 22:14:21 *Varick nods* Thank you. I will be the bestest good boy Nov 14 22:15:24 You can start that by apologising for being mean to your mama Nov 14 22:16:28 *Varick looks to her* Sorry, Mama Nov 14 22:16:41 * Molly nods “I accept your apology” Nov 14 22:17:06 * Morgan nods a little Nov 14 22:17:17 Is Emil ready to be put down? Nov 14 22:18:28 * Molly looks at him, smiling “Yes, he is” Nov 14 22:19:21 I'll do that if you don't mind... you can take Varick down to find him some work... Nov 14 22:22:32 * Molly nods, taking him off the breast and handing him over. The toddler smells of her, and of breastmilk Nov 14 22:24:24 Thank you, liebling Nov 14 22:27:28 *Varick leads the way out, and Molly follows. HH must still be in the hall because he can hear them quietly talking* Nov 14 22:29:50 *Emil sleeps peacefully in his arms Nov 14 22:31:18 * Morgan hums quietly to him as he carries him to put him int he crib Nov 14 22:31:30 [I thought it'd be a good opportunity for you and Varick to get over this little bump] Nov 14 22:32:47 [yes... I’ Nov 14 22:33:39 I’ve sent him to the kitchen with Heinzharold, and I’ll join them in a few minutes] Nov 14 22:34:26 [Do you need me?] Nov 14 22:35:56 [I’m alright, my love...] Nov 14 22:36:35 [Come to me please] Nov 14 22:38:25 * Molly comes in a few moments later. He can immediately smell that the perfume has reduced. Her hair is a little looser too Nov 14 22:38:59 * Morgan opens his arms Nov 14 22:39:36 * Molly comes to embrace him. She smells not just less perfumed, but also quite significantly pregnant Nov 14 22:40:06 I am fine, my love. He’s just pushing back as children of his age do Nov 14 22:42:04 * Morgan nods, kissing her crown Nov 14 22:42:05 Yes he is Nov 14 22:42:33 * Molly squeezes him gently. Her hair smells good too Nov 14 22:42:54 I was just getting freshened up for dinner Nov 14 22:43:57 Oh, okay, I'll let you carry on Nov 14 22:44:16 * Molly looks up at him “What’s wrong, my love?” Nov 14 22:45:17 Nothing love, I just didn't want you upset at his being aggro Nov 14 22:45:38 * Molly shakes her head “I am not, liebling, do not worry” Nov 14 22:46:22 Alright love Nov 14 22:47:28 * Molly gently kisses his cheek. The pregnant scent is noticeable, but there’s something more to it, just a little hint of arousal alongside it Nov 14 22:49:57 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 14 23:07:26 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
