Nov 29 19:22:27 * Edward nods, going over to supervise closely, though they are careful. She’s taller than Edward when she gets to the edge Nov 29 19:22:29 * Morgan moves closer Nov 29 19:22:31 *Florrie looks unsure* It really high! Nov 29 19:22:33 It is.

Nov 29 19:27:04 Varick... enough Nov 29 19:27:11 *Edward glances at Morgan* Nov 29 19:27:40 V: But she is, Vati! She’s always saying she’s not a baby Nov 29 19:28:03 I said enough Nov 29 19:28:07 * Florrie pouts “I not a baby, Varick!” Nov 29 19:28:25 *Varick says nothing* Nov 29 19:28:52 * Florrie looks to Morgan “I a big girl, Ballhead!” Nov 29 19:29:20 I know sweetheart, but even big boys and girls get scared Nov 29 19:30:42 Ballhead never get scared! Nov 29 19:32:02 * Morgan smiles a little Nov 29 19:32:15 Yes I do sweetheart, just like everyone Nov 29 19:33:17 * Florrie nods a moment then says “Okay, I jump!” Nov 29 19:33:49 *It’s lucky Edward is paying such close attention, because she jumps almost immediately* Nov 29 19:34:32 * Morgan stands ready to catch her if Edward doesn't Nov 29 19:36:38 *Edward catches her, though it’s a little off balance. If he hadn’t had his shoulder magicked, it would have been extremely painful* Nov 29 19:36:58 Well done Nov 29 19:38:51 *Edward smiles, kissing her cheeks* You are brave, just as any Koertig is. Nov 29 19:39:12 * Morgan looks up at the boys Nov 29 19:39:35 *Varick smiles, then goes back to jumping with his friend* Nov 29 19:39:39 I did it! Nov 29 19:40:57 Well done sweetheart Nov 29 19:42:04 * Florrie looks around “What VatiVati doing?” Nov 29 19:42:18 * Morgan smiles, looking around Nov 29 19:44:41 *Adalbrect is sat on a bench smoking his pipe* Nov 29 19:46:43 Ah, that Nov 29 19:48:08 Why he eats fire? Nov 29 19:48:20 *Edward laughs* Nov 29 19:55:07 * Morgan chuckles Nov 29 19:55:11 It does look that way Nov 29 19:56:39 I go see VatiVati Nov 29 19:58:07 *Edward nods* Are you coming, brother? Nov 29 19:58:33 * Morgan nods, calling up to the boys to be careful Nov 29 20:00:14 *Florrie looks happy in Edward’s arms, but with breakfast approaching it won’t be long before he has to let his daughter go* Nov 29 20:01:06 * Morgan follows them slowly Nov 29 20:02:57 *They gets to Adalbrecht, who to Morgan looks a little sad, but he is soon smiling when Florrie asks him why he’s eating fire* Nov 29 20:03:25 * Morgan watches them Nov 29 20:05:07 *Adalbrecht starts to explain, and then she wants to sit beside him and look at it, which Edward permits Nov 29 20:06:26 * Morgan speaks quietly to Edward Nov 29 20:06:31 Must admit, its a bit weird Nov 29 20:07:47 * Florrie is now known as Edward Nov 29 20:08:09 * Edward nods, watching the pair. Adalbrecht looks fairly relaxed Nov 29 20:08:21 Yes, I didn’t think he’d be so attached Nov 29 20:14:17 I meant smoking but... frankly he's surprised me frequently with her Nov 29 20:14:41 *Adalbrecht makes her laugh* Nov 29 20:14:56 * Edward nods, watching them “It’s good.” Nov 29 20:15:31 * Morgan nods Nov 29 20:15:33 Yes it is Nov 29 20:16:39 *From up above, Morgan can faintly hear Inga, Molly, and Mina laughing* Nov 29 20:16:50 At least they're laughing Nov 29 20:18:29 * Edward smiles faintly “That is good to hear. I expected my Schwesterlein to be more subdued and concerned today* Nov 29 20:18:39 Oh? Nov 29 20:21:01 with all the departures, I am aware some might be very hard for you Nov 29 20:22:43 * Morgan nods Nov 29 20:22:49 Yeah... you're not wrong Nov 29 20:23:50 I expected Molly to be clucking Nov 29 20:25:37 * Morgan nods Nov 29 20:25:41 I was a little if I'm honest Nov 29 20:26:19 * Edward chuckles Nov 29 20:26:43 you sound almost disappointed. Did you need some clucking? Nov 29 20:26:54 *Adalbrecht frowns at them a moment* Nov 29 20:28:01 No... I'm alright for the moment... she can mother me later Nov 29 20:29:02 * Edward nods, smiling a little Nov 29 20:29:42 Ad: I heard from your Mother, she wished her love to be passed on Nov 29 20:30:07 * Morgan nods Nov 29 20:30:10 She is well? Nov 29 20:31:25 Ad: She misses everyone Nov 29 20:34:59 I'm not surprised Nov 29 20:36:56 *Adalbrecht lets Florrie climb on his lap* She wrote something to me that she hasn’t in years Nov 29 20:37:29 *Edward manages not to even cough or smirk, but Morgan can see him take a deep breath* Nov 29 20:38:12 Oh really? Nov 29 20:39:38 Ad: She wrote “Be in Theus’ keeping, my darling”. It is how she always closed letters when I was at War Nov 29 20:40:33 Thats sweet Nov 29 20:41:34 *Adalbrecht smiles* She prayed for all of us, morning and night Nov 29 20:41:54 I would imagine she still does... Nov 29 20:43:12 * Morgan nods Nov 29 20:43:15 I would think so Nov 29 20:44:40 Ad: She does, first thing in the morning, and right before bed. She’s very devoted... to Umm... you both. *he blushes* Nov 29 20:46:48 * Morgan smirks a little Nov 29 20:48:21 F: VatiVati, why you got wrinkles? Nov 29 20:48:36 * Edward does cough this time to shield the laugh Nov 29 20:50:17 * Morgan sniggers Nov 29 20:50:45 Ad: When you get older, you get wrinkles Nov 29 20:51:00 F: *she shakes her head* I no wrinkles! Nov 29 20:51:37 Ad: You aren’t even three yet, that’s why! *he grins* Nov 29 20:51:50 * Morgan smiles a little Nov 29 20:53:27 [are you ready to eat, my love?] Nov 29 20:54:08 [aye love] Nov 29 20:54:12 Seems like breakfast time Nov 29 20:55:05 * Edward looks a little grim at this Nov 29 20:55:16 F: I go VatiVati up! Nov 29 20:55:48 *Adalbreccht nods, standing up with her* Nov 29 20:56:20 * Morgan calls to the boys Nov 29 20:58:38 *Adalbrecht puts her on his shoulders, then strolls along casually, holding her legs with one arm, and still smoking his pipe. Edward watches them* Nov 29 20:59:50 * Morgan looks troubled for a moment before putting his arm around Edwards shoulder and starting to follow their father Nov 29 21:00:22 * Edward nods, walking with him Nov 29 21:00:56 It must be hard for you Nov 29 21:01:56 Why's that? Nov 29 21:05:28 Father revelling in being a grandparent Nov 29 21:05:39 * Morgan nods Nov 29 21:05:43 Yes... it is. Nov 29 21:07:56 * Edward nods Nov 29 21:08:03 Worse than expected? Nov 29 21:08:20 * Morgan nods Nov 29 21:08:22 Frequently Nov 29 21:10:03 * Edward nods Nov 29 21:10:58 I expect in the years ahead it will ease a little Nov 29 21:11:32 * Morgan nods Nov 29 21:11:41 I hope so... Nov 29 21:12:32 * Edward nods. When they get there, Mina is waiting on the doorstep for Edward Nov 29 21:13:04 I'll leave you to it Nov 29 21:14:48 * Edward nods, inclining his head Nov 29 21:14:56 M: Thank you, Morgan Nov 29 21:15:14 * Morgan nods, going inside Nov 29 21:18:37 *He hears HH entertaining the others with a story about how he and Seb had tried to smuggle a duck onto the Nautilus Nov 29 21:19:00 * Morgan moves to get some coffee Nov 29 21:22:06 * Edward is now known as Molly Nov 29 21:22:46 * Molly comes to stand beside, him, speaking quietly “Are you alright, my love?” Nov 29 21:23:24 * Morgan sighs, nodding a little Nov 29 21:23:26 I suppose so Nov 29 21:25:04 * Molly gently puts her hand on his lower back Nov 29 21:25:10 Alright, my love Nov 29 21:27:44 Just a little difficult at times Nov 29 21:28:31 * Molly nods “Have you decided how you will handle it?” Nov 29 21:29:13 Not yet Nov 29 21:29:49 * Molly nods “I will do whatever you need me to” Nov 29 21:30:10 * Morgan nods Nov 29 21:30:12 Thank you Nov 29 21:31:54 *Elsie and James are stood talking to one side, and she’s holding Thomas* Nov 29 21:32:26 * Molly tilts her head in that direction “I feel for them, it is always tough being parted” Nov 29 21:33:40 * Morgan nods Nov 29 21:33:50 I would've been willing to let him wait Nov 29 21:34:25 I think he feels the need to start providing for his family Nov 29 21:34:35 * Morgan nods Nov 29 21:34:39 I think you're right Nov 29 21:35:38 Just as you feel the pull to start making your place as the next Graf Gottkirchen? Nov 29 21:35:49 * Morgan nods Nov 29 21:35:56 Not much I can be doing in the meantime though Nov 29 21:38:11 Courting the good opinion of the people. Attending fayres and celebrations, making calls upon our noble neighbours and hosting them Nov 29 21:38:24 Sounds tedious Nov 29 21:40:15 * Molly nods, smiling Nov 29 21:40:29 We’ll have Reverend Loewe visiting Nov 29 21:40:46 At a time only Theus could predict probably Nov 29 21:42:42 Certainly he has come unpredictably so far! Nov 29 21:43:52 * Morgan nods Nov 29 21:43:53 Quite Nov 29 21:46:16 * Molly looks like she’ll say something rude, then shuts her mouth Nov 29 21:47:42 * Morgan smirks a little Nov 29 21:49:17 * Molly makes a little gesture like locking her lips Nov 29 21:51:11 * Morgan nods a little Nov 29 21:52:58 * Molly smiles though, and curtsies a little to him, like she would if they were dancing Nov 29 21:55:19 * Morgan smiles, watching the others Nov 29 21:56:23 *HH waits TIL she goes before coming over* Nov 29 21:56:32 * Molly is now known as HH Nov 29 21:56:36 hey man Nov 29 21:57:35 hey Nov 29 21:58:40 Good night?
