**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Nov 19 17:51:15 2025 Nov 19 17:51:15 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Nov 19 19:25:26 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Nov 19 19:27:19 * Claudia shrugs “They’ve got time to fawn over each other alone” Nov 19 19:27:19 [I’m going to help in here so she and Rickon can go home] Nov 19 19:27:19 [Right, okay love] Nov 19 19:27:19 Aye but with the disappointment of today for him... Nov 19 19:27:19 * Claudia looks at him “Sometimes you have to think about yourself as well as others” Nov 19 19:27:21 * Morgan nods Nov 19 19:27:23 I know... its just... difficult Nov 19 19:27:25 why? Nov 19 19:27:27 I like to see them happy like that Nov 19 19:27:29 * Claudia sniffs “Soppy.” Nov 19 19:27:31 * Morgan shrugs Nov 19 19:27:35 Perhaps Nov 19 19:27:37 * Claudia drinks her drink “Set your wife to divert Mina?” Nov 19 19:27:39 She's dealing with something Nov 19 19:27:41 Trouble that requires someone getting punched? Nov 19 19:27:43 Don't be daft, we'd be all over that Nov 19 19:27:45 * Claudia nods “pity” Nov 19 19:27:47 * Morgan shrugs Nov 19 19:27:49 I miss a good fight... *she smiles* You missed a good one that night DeeDee and I were in Westfeld Nov 19 19:27:53 Oh? Nov 19 19:27:55 * Claudia laughs “Pies were thrown, chairs knocked over, and a few smart mouths got whacked. DeeDee is handy with his fists too” Nov 19 19:27:56 That doesn't really surprise me Nov 19 19:30:12 * Molly nods thoughtfully, sipping her drink Nov 19 19:30:22 Claudia * Nov 19 19:31:30 *Edward gets up to refill his and Mina’s glasses* Joining us, brother? Nov 19 19:33:04 * Morgan nods Nov 19 19:33:06 If you don't mind Nov 19 19:34:16 *Claudia inclines her head before leaving them. Edward leads back to the couch where there’s space on the other side of Nov 19 19:34:22 Mina for him Nov 19 19:34:28 * Molly is now known as Edward Nov 19 19:34:33 /me sits down gently Nov 19 19:35:07 * Edward settles back beside Mina, and she smiles at Morgan “is Molly well?” Nov 19 19:36:29 Aye, she's fine Nov 19 19:37:52 M: I thought she seemed a little distracted through dinner Nov 19 19:39:19 Oh? Nov 19 19:40:25 * Edward shrugs “she seemed well to me” Nov 19 19:41:14 M: *she smiles* Maybe I have misread her Nov 19 19:42:17 There's quite a few things going on, thats all Nov 19 19:43:22 I have been busy, what has been occurring? Nov 19 19:45:11 Varick not wanting to go to bed, father being annoyed with me, the usual Nov 19 19:46:35 * Edward chuckles, and Mina smiles. Edward’s hand around the back of her shoulders is quite informal for them Nov 19 19:46:46 What vexed him? Nov 19 19:47:32 That I didn't tell him and he found out from someone in the tavern Nov 19 19:48:39 Mina: I would think the disappointment would be as much yours as his Nov 19 19:50:55 Disappointment? Nov 19 19:51:37 M: That You couldn’t tell everyone on your own terms Nov 19 19:52:22 * Morgan nods Nov 19 19:52:31 Aye, I'd say so Nov 19 19:53:49 M: It’s a pity Nov 19 19:54:51 You have arranged a note for Mother...? Nov 19 19:56:24 No, I daresay father is telling her... he seemed quite keen to get to some privacy Nov 19 19:57:29 * Edward smirks, sipping his drink Nov 19 19:58:00 M: It is a long time for a husband and wife to be separate Nov 19 19:58:22 * Morgan nods Nov 19 19:58:24 Indeed it is Nov 19 19:59:39 M: I am sure he’ll feel more at ease after seeing her Nov 19 20:00:30 * Morgan nods Nov 19 20:00:33 I suspect so Nov 19 20:03:26 *She smiles her courtly smile* I know Eddie would be greatly relieved after making such contact with me were we absent from each other Nov 19 20:03:48 * Edward ‘s eyes narrow a little, trying to decide if it’s rude Nov 19 20:05:27 * Morgan nods Nov 19 20:05:29 Oh undoubtedly Nov 19 20:06:17 I do not think that would be for the same reasons, sweetheart Nov 19 20:07:11 *Mina smiles a little at Morgan before looking to Edward* Perhaps you should explain the difference to us? Nov 19 20:09:54 * Edward blushes, unusually “Ah no, I think not” Nov 19 20:11:11 * Morgan smirks Nov 19 20:11:12 Thought not Nov 19 20:12:07 * Edward nods, sipping his drink again Nov 19 20:12:16 What time will you be leaving? Nov 19 20:13:45 Fairly early I'd reckon Nov 19 20:14:14 * Edward nods sadly Nov 19 20:14:34 M: I hope we may count on your hospitality here another day or two? Nov 19 20:15:07 Of course you can Nov 19 20:15:34 *they both nod* Nov 19 20:15:51 M: It will not be many weeks until we see you in Fischler Nov 19 20:16:05 No, and then chaos will ensue no doubt Nov 19 20:16:36 M: It will be a very grand wedding Nov 19 20:18:31 Oh I imagine so, aye Nov 19 20:19:00 M: Will you come early? Nov 19 20:20:53 I think that'll depend on Molly Nov 19 20:21:56 M: She might wish you to delay? *she smiles a little* Nov 19 20:22:31 Its entirely possible... Nov 19 20:23:49 * Edward nods “We are able to stay in His Grace’s house” Nov 19 20:24:38 perhaps Nov 19 20:25:37 M: Would you prefer to rough it with Stef and Colonel Fuchs? Nov 19 20:29:07 * Morgan looks a little solemn Nov 19 20:29:23 Last time we stayed with his Grace, I had one of the worst nightmares I've ever had, and thats really saying something Nov 19 20:29:34 M: What was it? Nov 19 20:30:31 Alarice's attempt to poison Molly worked. She was dead in my arms in moments Nov 19 20:31:20 M: Terrible... That would have been a tragedy Nov 19 20:31:50 * Morgan nods Nov 19 20:31:53 I woke up screaming Nov 19 20:33:49 *Mina nods, looking serious* I was so worried when Edward told me what was afoot Nov 19 20:34:11 * Edward nods “Rarely have I been that afraid.” Nov 19 20:35:11 * Morgan nods Nov 19 20:39:44 M: I can understand why you’d wish to bide elsewhere, though one would suggest making early reservations somewhere were you intending to stay in hotel Nov 19 20:40:19 I'll talk with Molly about it... I am loathe to be separated from family Nov 19 20:40:53 Potts would put you up, if you could put up with him. Nov 19 20:41:29 M: Speaking of family... Does Potts know yet about Angelique? *she addresses her husband* Nov 19 20:41:55 * Edward grimaces “No, not to the best of my knowledge” Nov 19 20:43:02 Oh, dear, she's not invited is she? Nov 19 20:46:17 *Mina nods* She is friendly with Yessika St Klar’s brother-in-law, and the St Klars and Taussands, which is her maiden name, are both friendly with the Zenchlerins, and also Zench’s godfather, who is Graf Sterngarten, which is the title Zench will inherit. Nov 19 20:48:50 Oh joy Nov 19 20:49:09 * Edward nods Nov 19 20:49:26 I am hoping my wedded state excludes me from her attention Nov 19 20:50:00 * Morgan shrugs Nov 19 20:50:04 She tried flirting with me Nov 19 20:50:30 M: did you rebuff her soundly? Nov 19 20:52:14 Molly saw her off Nov 19 20:52:53 *they laugh* Nov 19 20:53:15 M: Are you looking forward to the wedding, Morgan? Nov 19 20:54:25 It'll be nice to see them finally have what they wanted for so long Nov 19 20:55:03 *Mina smiles* Marriage is a state I’d recommend for all Nov 19 20:55:11 * Morgan nods a little Nov 19 20:55:12 Aye Nov 19 20:55:46 * Edward smiles “I am a fan of it myself” Nov 19 20:56:18 M: which is why marriage is good... *she gives Morgan the slightest look of mischief* Nov 19 20:56:29 * Morgan smiles a little Nov 19 20:56:43 * Edward doesn’t seem to get it, just nodding Nov 19 21:00:22 *Molly comes back in. It looks like she’s been pitching in in the kitchen as there’s a damp mark on the stomach of her dress. To the non-innocent-minded, it looks quite rude, which must be why Mina is watching Morgan sidelong Nov 19 21:01:35 * Morgan smirks, blushing a little Nov 19 21:02:07 *Mina giggles very quietly, but it’s far from courtly* Nov 19 21:02:54 Shush Nov 19 21:05:00 *Molly smiles at him, looking at the lack of space on the couch. The only place for her to sit without moving around chairs would be on his lap Nov 19 21:05:47 Mina: Are we keeping you up, Morgan? Nov 19 21:06:43 I am loathe to leave you all yet Nov 19 21:10:36 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 19 21:21:50 * Edward has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
