**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Nov 18 03:22:16 2025 Nov 18 03:22:16 * Now talking on #7thsea Nov 18 03:22:20 * logger (logger@my.server.name) has joined Nov 18 17:40:25 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Nov 18 18:54:02 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Nov 18 18:54:57 * Molly gives him a quick smile before going in [are you regretting wishing for me to not hold back, mon petit chou?] Nov 18 18:54:57 [a little] Nov 18 18:54:57 [I could stop, if you say stop...] Nov 18 18:54:57 [I didn't say that] Nov 18 18:54:57 [oh good, because I am just getting started...] Nov 18 18:55:00 [thought so] Nov 18 18:55:04 * Molly goes to stand with Edward, who congratulates her before putting his hand on her belly Nov 18 18:55:06 * Morgan smiles a little Nov 18 18:55:08 *they talk quietly, interrupted by the door opening and Inga coming in* Nov 18 18:55:10 * Morgan smiles at her Nov 18 18:55:12 *Inga smiles back, then looks confused about Edward touching Molly* Nov 18 18:55:14 * Molly is now known as Inga Nov 18 18:55:16 * Inga whispers “I thought you didn’t want anyone touching her?” Nov 18 18:55:18 I felt him move Nov 18 18:55:20 * Inga looks delighted Nov 18 18:55:22 That’s wonderful! Nov 18 18:55:24 * Morgan nods Nov 18 18:55:26 It really is Nov 18 18:56:01 * Molly is now known as Inga Nov 18 18:56:27 I’m really happy for you, I thought you might have to wait weeks more Nov 18 18:58:25 * Morgan nods Nov 18 18:58:29 So did I to be honest Nov 18 19:00:00 * Inga smiles, watching Molly who looks very happy Nov 18 19:00:08 Molly seems pleased too Nov 18 19:00:25 * Morgan nods Nov 18 19:00:27 Very much so Nov 18 19:01:50 *She nods, but gets distracted by HH coming and putting his arm around her shoulder. They smile affectionately at each other* Nov 18 19:04:26 *Mina lets herself in quietly. She looks well though, rested* Nov 18 19:05:30 * Morgan moves to her Nov 18 19:06:06 * Inga is now known as Mina Nov 18 19:06:36 * Mina smiles at him. She looks very put together and elegant Nov 18 19:06:40 Good evening Nov 18 19:07:11 * Morgan bows his head Nov 18 19:07:13 Little sister Nov 18 19:07:38 I hope I’m not late Nov 18 19:10:49 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 18 19:10:51 Not at all Nov 18 19:11:35 *He sees the moment when Edward sees Mina, and how his face lights up* Nov 18 19:12:01 * Morgan smiles Nov 18 19:12:06 How sweet he is... Nov 18 19:12:29 * Mina nods, smiling “He is” Nov 18 19:14:39 *Theresa announces it’s time to dine* Nov 18 19:14:53 * Morgan excuses himself, going to Molly Nov 18 19:15:27 *Molly is now talking to Christopher whilst rubbing her belly idly* Nov 18 19:18:00 * Morgan gently touches her arm Nov 18 19:18:35 *Molly looks to him with a warm smile* My love? Nov 18 19:19:04 Are you ready love? Dinners ready Nov 18 19:19:38 *She smiles* You know me, I’m always ready Nov 18 19:20:26 * Morgan nods, offering his arm Nov 18 19:20:57 *Molly takes it* why, thank you, your Excellency... Nov 18 19:22:06 * Morgan nods, leading her to the dining room Nov 18 19:24:32 *She gently traces little patterns on his arm, just like she’s touched him naked before. But her expression gives nothing away even when he takes her to her seat* Nov 18 19:25:56 * Morgan smiles a little, pulling out her chair Nov 18 19:27:17 *Molly thanks him. Everyone else gets seated, though Uinise and Claudia were cutting it fine. The mood is fairly jovial, and Varick helps serve them just like Jacques does* Nov 18 19:27:39 * Morgan thanks them both Nov 18 19:29:39 *Varick minds his manners appropriately. They go back to the kitchen once all the adults are gathered. Hildegarde seems a little quiet, Adalbrecht a little keen to rush through dinner. Edward is busy making eyes at his wife, and HH is not much better* Nov 18 19:30:51 * Morgan eats quietly Nov 18 19:32:18 *The others keep the talk going, Molly, Mina, and Inga in particular. The boys return to clear the plates and give pudding, but Varick is starting to look tired by then* Nov 18 19:33:15 Varick... are you ready for bed? Nov 18 19:33:29 *Varick nods sadly* Yes sir Nov 18 19:34:18 Ad: Retiring early is sensible with travel ahead. I think I’ll take a leaf from Varick’s book Nov 18 19:34:31 *Edward smirks at Morgan slightly* Nov 18 19:35:58 * Morgan smirks a little, getting up to pick up Varick Nov 18 19:36:03 Come on lad, lets get you settled Nov 18 19:36:26 *Molly smiles faintly* Do you need me, liebes herz? Nov 18 19:37:20 Its fine love, I'll be back soon Nov 18 19:38:32 *Molly nods, kissing Varick goodnight. He says goodnight to everyone before going* Nov 18 19:39:15 * Morgan carries him up to his room Nov 18 19:39:40 * Mina is now known as Varick Nov 18 19:39:44 * Varick sighs Nov 18 19:39:56 I don’t want to go Nov 18 19:41:59 I know... its not -too- long before their house will be ready and they come to us Nov 18 19:42:44 But not Rickon... Nov 18 19:43:28 No, I know Nov 18 19:44:43 * Varick yawns “Working in the kitchen is hard” Nov 18 19:45:00 * Morgan nods Nov 18 19:45:09 Yes I know... its harder than they make it look isn't it Nov 18 19:45:27 * Varick nods Nov 18 19:47:37 *he doesn’t say anything else, half asleep by the time they get there* Nov 18 19:48:52 * Morgan helps him get changed for bed before laying him down Nov 18 19:50:46 * Varick yawns again, pulling his teddy close. Emil is fast asleep in the crib “Do we have to go tomorrow?” Nov 18 19:53:11 Yes, I'm afraid we do Nov 18 19:53:53 * Varick nods sadly “Goodnight” Nov 18 19:54:50 Goodnight son, sleep well Nov 18 19:55:50 * Varick settles quickly Nov 18 19:56:10 * Morgan quietly goes out of the room, heading for the others Nov 18 19:57:39 *it sounds like they’ve moved to the drawing room. There’s laughter from within, but he doesn’t feel entirely alone in the hall* Nov 18 19:57:53 * Morgan sweeps with his magic Nov 18 19:58:36 *he feels a patch where he can’t sense heat there so easily* Nov 18 20:01:01 * Morgan looks around, moving toward it Nov 18 20:01:55 *She suddenly appears right behind him, belly against his lower back* Surprise... Nov 18 20:02:09 You shouldn't creep up on me... Nov 18 20:02:29 No? *She wraps her arms around his waist* Why is that? Nov 18 20:03:35 Its dangerous love... Nov 18 20:03:49 why? Nov 18 20:04:18 What if I reacted instinctively? Nov 18 20:05:05 * Varick is now known as Molly Nov 18 20:05:32 * Molly rests her cheek to his back Nov 18 20:05:49 Alright then... No more sneaking up on you... Nov 18 20:05:56 Thank you love Nov 18 20:06:28 It will, of course, cost you... Nov 18 20:08:03 Oh? Nov 18 20:09:13 * Molly moves around him so she’s still close but can see his face “You have to tell me what the last intimate thought you had about me was...” Nov 18 20:10:55 * Morgan tilts his head Nov 18 20:10:58 Ooooh, difficult... Nov 18 20:11:37 * Molly smiles, looking amused and pleased “Is it, my love? Is it quite hard?” Nov 18 20:11:51 * Morgan chuckles Nov 18 20:11:52 Menace Nov 18 20:13:52 * Molly laughs softly “But you love it, mon petit chou...” Nov 18 20:14:24 I suppose I do Nov 18 20:14:45 * Molly nods “So?” Nov 18 20:15:21 So? Nov 18 20:16:14 Your thought, my love? Nov 18 20:16:20 Oh... I'm not sure really Nov 18 20:16:55 * Molly nods a little “Alright, my love” Nov 18 20:17:42 Its been a busy few days Nov 18 20:18:26 * Molly nods, letting go “It has, and this is our last evening with Edward and Mina. We should join them” Nov 18 20:20:12 * Morgan nods, taking her hand and kissing her knuckles Nov 18 20:20:14 Aye, best had Nov 18 20:21:13 * Molly nods, letting him lead the way Nov 18 20:24:33 * Morgan leads her into the room Nov 18 20:26:57 *the others are all sat around as Uinise is playing Christopher at chess, all chipping in with suggestions. Edward has Mina’s hand in his as they’re sat on a couch, HH has Inga perched on his knee. He looks a little bored, but Inga is definitely Uinise’s primary strategy master. Claudia is absent, as are Hildegarde, James, Walder, Theresa and the boys Nov 18 20:27:26 * Morgan looks over the board Nov 18 20:28:43 *It’s quite evenly split. Molly excuses herself* Nov 18 20:29:16 [where are you going?] Nov 18 20:29:41 * Morgan makes a mmhmm noise Nov 18 20:29:45 Checkmate in seven Nov 18 20:31:28 [just to see if they need help in the kitchen] Nov 18 20:31:40 U: Is it? Nov 18 20:33:10 If you play it as I would, yes Nov 18 20:34:19 Uinise: You could help me Nov 18 20:34:32 You're doing just fine on your own love Nov 18 20:34:48 C: My dear girl, I am playing against the whole room as it is! *he chuckles* Nov 18 20:35:15 HH: $Molly not joining us?$ Nov 18 20:36:14 $Gone to see if they need help in the kitchen$ Nov 18 20:36:35 *Uinise keeps playing. Mina and Edward are talking quietly together, it looks intimate* Nov 18 20:36:49 HH: $we’ll be off soon$ Nov 18 20:37:14 $alright man$ Nov 18 20:38:42 *Inga starts giving more instruction to Uinise* Claudia: $good luck getting her away with this going on$ Nov 18 20:39:14 * Morgan smiles a little Nov 18 20:40:42 HH: $Sounds like Claudia was hoping to get off soon too$ Nov 18 20:42:11 *Claudia blushes a little* $fuck off, Heinzharold$ Nov 18 20:42:30 * Morgan smiles, going to find a drink Nov 18 20:43:21 *Claudia is stood by the whiskey decanter, and pours him one* Nov 18 20:43:26 * Molly is now known as Claudia Nov 18 20:43:37 How are you doing? Nov 18 20:44:16 [Am I needed?] Nov 18 20:45:31 Its been a mixed day Nov 18 20:45:40 [its fine love. Perhaps you'd check on Hildegarde for me?[ Nov 18 20:46:20 [I was just talking with her, what do you wish to know?] Nov 18 20:46:35 Not what we expected Nov 18 20:47:31 [how she's feeling, whats troubling her... what help we can give... ] Nov 18 20:47:35 No? Nov 18 20:48:18 Expected to be settled in at Hafenlohr tonight Nov 18 20:48:30 * Morgan nods Nov 18 20:48:32 aye Nov 18 20:49:26 [yes, my love] Nov 18 20:49:51 * Claudia drinks some whiskey, watching Uinise and Inga Nov 18 20:54:05 But then I'd have missed feeling Hirschen Nov 18 20:54:15 * Claudia shrugs Nov 18 20:54:32 Or you’d have felt him there instead? Nov 18 20:55:07 No, it would've been while we were on the road Nov 18 20:55:45 Yeah, but they move a lot, right? It’d have to happen eventually? Nov 18 20:56:28 Eventually, yes Nov 18 20:57:12 * Claudia nods Nov 18 20:57:46 I’m surprised we’ve seen much of you, thought you’d be joined at the bump all evening Nov 18 20:58:46 With everyone moving on tomorrow, I wanted to spend some time with Edward and Mina... not that I've actually managed to... Nov 18 20:59:50 * Claudia nods “I think you’ll have to but in” Nov 18 21:00:05 Maybe but... I am loathe to Nov 18 21:01:57 * Claudia shrugs “They’ve got time to fawn over each other alone” Nov 18 21:02:15 [I’m going to help in here so she and Rickon can go home] Nov 18 21:02:48 [Right, okay love] Nov 18 21:03:00 Aye but with the disappointment of today for him... Nov 18 21:03:33 * Claudia looks at him “Sometimes you have to think about yourself as well as others” Nov 18 21:04:16 * Morgan nods Nov 18 21:04:23 I know... its just... difficult Nov 18 21:04:34 why? Nov 18 21:05:39 I like to see them happy like that Nov 18 21:07:11 * Claudia sniffs “Soppy.” Nov 18 21:09:40 * Morgan shrugs Nov 18 21:09:41 Perhaps Nov 18 21:10:32 * Claudia drinks her drink “Set your wife to divert Mina?” Nov 18 21:12:24 She's dealing with something Nov 18 21:13:03 Trouble that requires someone getting punched? Nov 18 21:14:02 Don't be daft, we'd be all over that Nov 18 21:14:41 * Claudia nods “pity” Nov 18 21:15:12 * Morgan shrugs Nov 18 21:16:07 I miss a good fight... *she smiles* You missed a good one that night DeeDee and I were in Westfeld Nov 18 21:16:43 Oh? Nov 18 21:18:19 * Claudia laughs “Pies were thrown, chairs knocked over, and a few smart mouths got whacked. DeeDee is handy with his fists too” Nov 18 21:19:32 That doesn't really surprise me Nov 18 21:20:59 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 18 21:39:45 * Claudia has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
