Nov 17 18:50:26 * Morgan nods Nov 17 18:50:26 please Nov 17 18:50:26 *They move on to that, leaving the plant on the table as if it wasn’t potentially worth more than the house, or even the whole town* Nov 17 18:50:26 * Molly raises her eyebrows, speaking quietly “Well then...” Nov 17 18:50:30 * Morgan nods a little Nov 17 18:50:32 [what should we do? It looks to have at least twenty burrs on it!] Nov 17 18:50:34 [put it safely out of the way for now... as soon as noons paying attention...] Nov 17 18:50:38 * Molly nods, gently picking it up and going off with it. The men are still busy getting drinks together Nov 17 18:50:40 * Molly is now known as Edward Nov 17 18:50:42 * Edward brings Morgan some whiskey Nov 17 18:50:44 * Morgan thanks him Nov 17 18:50:46 * Edward sips his Nov 17 18:50:48 I have not seen much of you today Nov 17 18:50:51 No, I've been getting a few things sorted... I figured Florrie was exactly who you needed to be with today Nov 17 18:51:45 * Molly is now known as Edward Nov 17 18:52:10 Indeed. I am hoping Mimi will join us for dinner Nov 17 18:52:27 We'll see I suppose... I've not seen her in a few hours Nov 17 18:53:45 * Edward sips his whiskey “I did briefly after putting Florrie to bed, and she was going to redress for dinner” Nov 17 18:55:13 * Morgan nods Nov 17 18:57:15 Difficult as this extra delay has been, I have appreciated another day with her Nov 17 18:57:46 * Morgan nods Nov 17 18:58:06 I'm not terribly surprised at either part of that statement Nov 17 18:59:02 * Edward nods sadly “I really thought it would be this month” Nov 17 18:59:28 The timescale could still be accurate Nov 17 19:00:41 I do not see how Nov 17 19:01:19 If the baby is actually on time, which is unusual for a first, then February is still possible Nov 17 19:01:37 * Edward nods a little Nov 17 19:01:42 Very well. Nov 17 19:04:11 Molly says its possible... I trust her judgement on this Nov 17 19:04:33 * Edward nods Nov 17 19:04:58 It is not as if we would actively avoid it this month anyway Nov 17 19:06:32 No... Nov 17 19:07:20 * Edward nods “We have a busy month ahead of us” Nov 17 19:07:36 *he feels a prickle on the back of his neck again* Nov 17 19:08:50 * Morgan nods Nov 17 19:08:54 I wonder how the wedding will go Nov 17 19:09:38 I pray for it to be smooth. I expect it to be the opposite Nov 17 19:11:32 * Morgan nods Nov 17 19:11:39 That sounds like a reasonable place to be Nov 17 19:13:50 * Edward nods “If the guest list is as I expect it to be, there is a great deal of scope for creating alliances, and an even bigger one for drama” Nov 17 19:14:15 So you're saying I shouldn't go... Nov 17 19:14:25 * Edward chuckles Nov 17 19:14:32 Heidi would not like that Nov 17 19:16:24 Oh? Nov 17 19:16:50 She likes you Nov 17 19:17:18 She thinks I'm weird Nov 17 19:18:42 * Edward nods “I agree, she -is- a good judge of character” Nov 17 19:18:54 I didn't say she was wrong Nov 17 19:22:40 * Edward laughs Nov 17 19:23:08 You are aware that the Eisenfursts have been invited? Nov 17 19:23:47 I'd have been surprised if they had not... its been a while since I had a proper duel Nov 17 19:24:21 You will not duel an Eisenfurst... Nov 17 19:25:20 No, it'd be a second... I imagine Trague to be the only one arrogant enough to think he's more capable Nov 17 19:26:38 Perhaps try to avoid it Nov 17 19:26:52 * Morgan shrugs Nov 17 19:27:03 I'll see what I can do Nov 17 19:27:29 I hope that Molly’s obvious increasing will put them off her Nov 17 19:27:41 * Morgan nods Nov 17 19:27:51 I hope so... but I will defend her... Nov 17 19:28:38 * Edward nods Nov 17 19:28:44 Yes, I know Nov 17 19:32:02 * Morgan nods Nov 17 19:32:05 As is proper... Nov 17 19:32:15 * Edward nods Nov 17 19:32:22 How is Molly today? Nov 17 19:33:04 Fine Nov 17 19:34:14 * Edward smiles “Good... The delay is not chafing?” Nov 17 19:35:11 Some. I was looking forward to getting in the lake, but... I've got a few things done that needed doing Nov 17 19:35:58 * Edward smiles “I imagine she was looking forward to more time with you” Nov 17 19:36:08 She's had some Nov 17 19:36:52 * Edward smirks Nov 17 19:37:05 I am glad to hear it Nov 17 19:37:35 * Morgan rolls his eyes Nov 17 19:38:51 *Adalbrecht joins them* Nov 17 19:39:02 Ad: What are we discussing? Nov 17 19:39:14 The upcoming wedding Nov 17 19:39:15 * Edward sips his whiskey Nov 17 19:39:54 A: We will be meeting you here to set off? Nov 17 19:40:33 It'd make sense really Nov 17 19:41:05 A: Yes. *He looks to Morgan* When were you planning to tell us about the baby? Nov 17 19:41:49 Which baby would that be? Nov 17 19:42:11 A: Your baby Nov 17 19:42:33 * Edward smiles slightly “It is quite difficult to miss now...” Nov 17 19:42:49 *Adalbrecht frowns a little at Edward* Nov 17 19:43:22 * Morgan looks at him speculatively Nov 17 19:44:04 My lord, we discussed it quite a time ago Nov 17 19:44:25 A: No, about you feeling him move. Nov 17 19:44:32 * Edward looks surprised “What?!” Nov 17 19:44:59 Oh... I was trying to be mindful of my brother... Nov 17 19:46:15 * Edward shakes his head, smiling “There’s no need for that” Nov 17 19:46:30 * Morgan nods a little Nov 17 19:46:33 Very well... Nov 17 19:47:28 Ad: We heard it in the tavern, of all places! Nov 17 19:48:02 From? Nov 17 19:48:55 A: One of the local men. It’s widespread gossip. It would have been nice to have found out from you. Nov 17 19:49:34 Yes, I imagine it would Nov 17 19:49:47 * Edward hugs Morgan Nov 17 19:50:06 I think it is fantastic news!

Nov 17 19:56:07 A: I remember when I felt you the first time, though your mother was much larger by then Nov 17 19:56:57 $Need to talk to you man$ Nov 17 19:57:05 * Morgan nods Nov 17 19:57:10 I've been waiting most impatiently Nov 17 19:57:32 Nooone would have been able to tell (!) Nov 17 19:58:51 Thats because I am serene in my waiting Nov 17 20:00:26 *they both laugh. HH comes over* HH: Got a minute, man?

Nov 17 20:13:32 Yeah? Nov 17 20:14:05 I let slip to her and its gone around the village... my father was telling me off for it Nov 17 20:14:25 * HH chuckles Nov 17 20:14:39 Not much faster than juicy village gossip Nov 17 20:14:51 * Morgan nods Nov 17 20:14:52 quite Nov 17 20:16:17 * HH elbows him “Y’ should know by now, a woman’s mouth is always gonn’ be trouble for a man” Nov 17 20:16:40 * Morgan nods Nov 17 20:16:45 True, man Nov 17 20:17:21 *he hears Molly reach the top of the stairs* Nov 17 20:17:42 Speakin’ o’ trouble... *he grins* Nov 17 20:17:46 * Morgan chuckles Nov 17 20:19:09 *She comes down the stairs.

She comes to take his hand. She smells even more so than before Nov 17 20:23:22 He was happy? Nov 17 20:25:17 * Morgan nods Nov 17 20:25:23 Happier than my father when he found out... Nov 17 20:25:34 * Molly looks a little upset Nov 17 20:25:46 why... why wouldn’t he be -happy-?! Nov 17 20:26:12 Because...
