Dec 07 16:22:07 Yep. Had it ages, but it’s still in great condition *he grins* Dec 07 16:22:26 Despite the copious amount of manipulation you've given it... Dec 07 16:28:53 * Molly is now known as HH Dec 07 16:29:24 * HH chuckles “Depsite how it’s getting stretched out in the next few months” Dec 07 16:31:26 That isn't what I was referring to Dec 07 16:35:09 What did ya mean, man? Dec 07 16:36:13 * Morgan looks around Dec 07 16:36:15 Your pudding Dec 07 16:38:12 * HH laughs hard “My what now?!” Dec 07 16:40:48 You deaf? Dec 07 16:41:55 * HH chuckles “Blind, by the way you tell it!” Dec 07 16:48:05 * Morgan shrugs Dec 07 16:49:08 Pudding... I despair of ya, man... *Spotted dick being an Avalonian delicacy, it probably makes less sense to his Eisen friend. He still grins though* Dec 07 16:50:53 You'd get it if you were better travelled Dec 07 16:54:20 I get it plenty at home Dec 07 16:55:01 * Morgan shakes his head Dec 07 16:55:09 In Avalon, there's a pudding called spotted dick... Dec 07 16:55:55 * HH nods Dec 07 16:56:14 Makes more sense than it being like a souffle... Dec 07 16:58:26 I dunno, if yours keeps falling... Dec 07 17:00:39 * HH chuckles “It’s not my wife that’s bad at souffles, man” Dec 07 17:01:19 You ever tried cooking a soufflé? Dec 07 17:02:04 Fuck no Dec 07 17:02:38 Culinary equivalent of a sheep, man, the fuckers want to collapse Dec 07 17:05:22 * HH laughs “Should prob’ly get yer pudding looked at if it’s actin’ like a sheep” Dec 07 17:13:07 true Dec 07 17:19:49 * HH nods “Get mine looked at later anyow” Dec 07 17:20:42 Aye, with a look of mild disappointment I hear Dec 07 17:21:39 yeah, generally when she can look but not touch Dec 07 17:23:30 * Morgan chuckles, looking around Dec 07 17:26:08 *there’s the occasional passerby, but nothing exciting. It seems like he’s been back and forth so much for months now. They manage a couple of hours before Adalbrecht gives the instruction to stop for a break Dec 07 17:26:55 * Morgan climbs down, tethering his horse Dec 07 17:27:54 *everyone else comes to a stop too, leaving him free to see whoever he wishes to* Dec 07 17:28:15 * Morgan wanders over to Molly Dec 07 17:30:40 *Molly stretches, looking around* Dec 07 17:33:37 You alright love? Dec 07 17:33:46 * HH is now known as Molly Dec 07 17:34:00 * Molly smiles “yes liebling, how are you?” Dec 07 17:34:25 Alright I suppose Dec 07 17:39:49 * Molly nods “Is there anything I can do to help?” Dec 07 17:40:35 No, not really Dec 07 17:41:46 * Molly nods sadly “I’d hold you, but I’m not sure that would help now, when you’re holding things together” Dec 07 17:43:44 * Morgan sighs Dec 07 17:43:56 You'd think for someone who's moved around so much, I'd be better at leaving people Dec 07 17:44:25 * Molly shakes her head “It’s complicated. This time is different” Dec 07 17:45:01 * Morgan nods Dec 07 17:45:03 Aye, it is Dec 07 17:45:59 * Molly nods, watching him “You are doing what you need” Dec 07 17:47:42 * Morgan frowns Dec 07 17:47:44 Meaning? Dec 07 17:48:47 Focusing on the journey, rather than seeking my comfort Dec 07 17:49:42 You think my coming to you is not seeking comfort? Just being with you comforts me Dec 07 17:52:00 * Molly smiles, looking touched “It does?” Dec 07 17:52:30 Of course it does Dec 07 17:54:07 * Molly nods “I am pleased by that. I miss riding with you” Dec 07 17:54:38 * Morgan nods Dec 07 17:54:40 I know love Dec 07 17:56:33 *Emil shouts ‘Mama bees!” Dec 07 17:58:26 * Molly blushes a little “I’ll just see to him...” Dec 07 17:59:24 Alright love Dec 07 18:09:40 * Molly goes to take Emil from the carriage, lifting him out. He rests above her bump, his legs holding the fabric tight. She moves to a big log nearby Dec 07 18:10:44 * Morgan watches her for a moment before looking around Dec 07 18:11:13 *He sees Alice watching him with a smile* Dec 07 18:12:37 * Morgan moves to her Dec 07 18:12:40 You alright love? Dec 07 18:13:41 * Molly is now known as Alice Dec 07 18:14:04 I am, I was just watching you admiring your wife Dec 07 18:14:18 * Morgan blushes Dec 07 18:14:19 Shush Dec 07 18:16:04 * Alice smiles “how are you?” Dec 07 18:16:57 I've had better days... you? Dec 07 18:18:09 * Alice nods Dec 07 18:18:17 It’s hard seeing her upset Dec 07 18:19:59 * Morgan nods Dec 07 18:20:02 Exceptionally Dec 07 18:21:36 * Alice nods “She’s sleeping now, but I expect it’ll get tougher” Dec 07 18:22:00 Yeah, I imagine so Dec 07 18:23:21 Edward’s upset. He tries to put a brave face on it though Dec 07 18:24:28 * Morgan nods Dec 07 18:24:41 I imagine it'll be quite some time before he's right again Dec 07 18:25:52 * Alice nods Dec 07 18:25:58 He really loves her Dec 07 18:26:28 * Morgan nods Dec 07 18:26:31 Right down to his bones Dec 07 18:28:55 * Alice nods Dec 07 18:29:07 He’ll be alright though, won’t he? Dec 07 18:29:13 Eventually, yes Dec 07 18:30:24 * Alice nods Dec 07 18:30:31 Good Dec 07 18:31:04 *everyone else seems to have taken themselves off for calls of nature * Dec 07 18:32:40 He wanted me to ride on ahead Dec 07 18:33:37 * Alice nods “He was worried you’d hear your daughter crying for you, not his for him” Dec 07 18:35:01 * Morgan nods, bowing his head a little Dec 07 18:35:24 He wasn't far off Dec 07 18:35:57 * Alice nods, gently rubbing his arm Dec 07 18:36:08 They sound similar, you said Dec 07 18:37:23 * Morgan nods Dec 07 18:37:28 Its not just their looks, you know? Dec 07 18:38:01 * Alice nods Dec 07 18:38:34 There will be less reminders once we’ve gone home Dec 07 18:39:43 I'd still rather endure those moments and have you nearby Dec 07 18:40:33 * Alice nods Dec 07 18:40:49 I can’t be Dec 07 18:41:00 I know Dec 07 18:42:43 *Florrie appears at the carriage door with a yawn* Dec 07 18:44:18 Hello sweetheart Dec 07 18:45:28 *Florrie smiles* Catch, Ballhead! Dec 07 18:45:51 * Morgan nods, holding his arms out Dec 07 18:46:38 *She jumps into his arms trustingly* Dec 07 18:46:53 * Morgan catches her, holding her close and kissing her crown Dec 07 18:46:56 Well done sweetheart Dec 07 18:48:35 F: Put down now. Dec 07 18:49:46 * Morgan nods, putting her down gently Dec 07 18:50:51 *Florrie goes to Alice, taking her towards the bushes. Molly and Emil are the only ones in sight Dec 07 18:51:34 * Morgan goes over to them, stroking Emil's hair Dec 07 18:52:44 *She smells noticeably good this close. She smiles gently* One would think that nursing on an off in the coach would make his interest wane Dec 07 18:53:55 Clearly not Dec 07 18:54:19 So it seems! Dec 07 18:54:59 * Alice is now known as Molly Dec 07 18:55:04 * Morgan nods Dec 07 18:56:00 I hope he’ll not be too long, I know we’d like to be back in Hafenlohr soon Dec 07 18:56:30 * Morgan nods Dec 07 18:56:32 Aye, I know Dec 07 18:58:18 * Molly nods, watching Emil with a smile before looking to Morgan “I’ll need to switch sides...” Dec 07 18:58:32 * Morgan nods Dec 07 18:58:33 Alright Dec 07 19:01:05 Just in case you needed to absent yourself, you see? Dec 07 19:01:11 I'll stay thanks Dec 07 19:03:27 * Molly smiles, shrugging. She makes no effort to cover the first breast whilst she undoes her dress on the other side and moving Emil over Dec 07 19:03:53 * Morgan smiles a little, glancing around Dec 07 19:04:17 *there’s no one around at all Dec 07 19:05:41 I was thinking I might have Varick with me for the next while Dec 07 19:06:13 * Molly has covered up by the time he looks back Dec 07 19:06:24 yes, that would do him good Dec 07 19:07:09 * Morgan nods Dec 07 19:07:12 Aye I thought so Dec 07 19:07:28 * Molly nods Dec 07 19:07:52 he is sad that he’ll have no older children to play with Dec 07 19:08:25 * Morgan nods Dec 07 19:08:31 I expected as much Dec 07 19:09:28 * Molly nods, stroking Emil’s cheek tenderly Dec 07 19:09:53 It won’t be too long before he comes Dec 07 19:11:08 No... Dec 07 19:11:55 We must appoint a tutor Dec 07 19:12:48 * Morgan nods Dec 07 19:12:51 Aye, we better had Dec 07 19:13:37 I’ll see to that in the next few days Dec 07 19:14:26 * Morgan nods Dec 07 19:14:29 Aye, alright Dec 07 19:15:04 * Molly nods, glancing at him Dec 07 19:15:10 Is something the matter? Dec 07 19:15:28 No love, just thinking about Rickon Dec 07 19:16:37 Oh? Dec 07 19:17:14 I'd like to see him learning Dec 07 19:17:18 * Molly smiles at the grasping hand on her skin, and lifts it off, holding the little fingers with hers Dec 07 19:17:32 Yes, channeling that energy would be wise Dec 07 19:18:11 * Morgan nods Dec 07 19:18:14 indeed Dec 07 19:19:12 Perhaps a tutor for him too? Dec 07 19:19:52 I can suggest it to Heinrich... Dec 07 19:20:33 * Molly nods Dec 07 19:20:43 that would be wise, I think Dec 07 19:22:04 * Morgan nods Dec 07 19:23:01 How was Hildegarde when we left? Dec 07 19:23:55 Not great... I'm worried for her Dec 07 19:24:19 * Molly nods Dec 07 19:24:32 I wish I knew how to help her Dec 07 19:24:41 I know. I'm finding it quite tough Dec 07 19:26:12 * Molly watches him a moment “You feel an additional responsibility because of who she is?” Dec 07 19:26:29 * Morgan shrugs Dec 07 19:26:34 A little perhaps... she's family. Dec 07 19:27:44 * Molly nods thoughtfully Dec 07 19:28:05 Yes, it’s only right to try to help her Dec 07 19:28:31 It troubles you Dec 07 19:28:58 No, should it? Dec 07 19:29:34 Not at all, but you were looking at me quite intently for a moment Dec 07 19:30:21 I was wondering whether seeing her upset was particularly upsetting for you Dec 07 19:31:28 * Morgan takes a deep breath, before nodding Dec 07 19:31:40 Seeing the hurt in eyes the same as Dietlinde... its quite uncomfortable. Dec 07 19:31:56 * Molly nods solemnly Dec 07 19:32:20 I am not surprised Dec 07 19:33:16 * Morgan nods Dec 07 19:34:03 * Molly looks down to Emil “There now, are you finished?” Dec 07 19:36:27 *Emil pulls away a little, and she slips the fabric up between them and over her breast Dec 07 19:36:52 Do you want me to take him so you can relieve yourself? Dec 07 19:37:07 yes please Dec 07 19:37:50 * Morgan nods, moving to take him Dec 07 19:39:26 *He grins, going to Morgan happily. He smells of breastmilk. She stands Dec 07 19:39:30 Thank you Dec 07 19:39:52 * Morgan nods, looking at the boy Dec 07 19:40:01 Well hello young man, how are you finding the journey? Dec 07 19:40:53 * Molly leaves the two of them. Emil burps loudly Dec 07 19:41:08 Well, thats just shaming isn't it Dec 07 19:43:02 *Emil grins. She drops off his mental radar* Dec 07 19:43:32 * Morgan looks around Dec 07 19:45:33 *HH and Inga are coming back to him, he has his arm around her shoulder and they’re laughing quietly together Dec 07 19:46:58 Oh look, the lovebirds... Dec 07 19:48:57 E: Guh! Dec 07 19:50:04 Thats right, and HeinzHarold... Dec 07 19:50:58 *HH looks around, grinning at Morgan before turning his attention back to Inga and grabbing her bottom. She grins back at him* Dec 07 19:51:26 * Morgan rocks Emil Dec 07 19:51:35 Incorrigible aren't they Dec 07 19:51:51 *Emil just watches him with love* Dec 07 19:52:53 * Morgan smiles, kissing his forehead Dec 07 19:53:52 E: Mah! Dec 07 19:54:23 * Morgan smiles, stroking his cheek Dec 07 19:54:29 You're such a sweet little boy aren't you Dec 07 19:56:04 *Emil grins, grabbing Morgan’s beard* Dec 07 19:56:22 * Morgan smiles Dec 07 19:56:25 Don't pull that... Dec 07 19:58:14 HH: That’s what she said Dec 07 19:58:50 If he copies another saying from you, I won't protect you from Molly... Dec 07 19:59:14 HH: I can handle ‘er. Just gotta threaten to spank her Dec 07 19:59:44 She'll turn your plums numb... Dec 07 19:59:57 *Inga giggles* Dec 07 20:00:09 *Hh nods* yeah... Mebbie not Dec 07 20:00:17 * Morgan nods, bouncing Emil Dec 07 20:01:16 *The others start to rejoin them, except for Molly* Dec 07 20:02:04 [you alright?] Dec 07 20:03:14 [yes] Dec 07 20:03:36 * Morgan looks around at the others Dec 07 20:05:18 *they all seem eager to get going* I: Do you want me to take him so you can...? Dec 07 20:05:53 * Morgan nods Dec 07 20:05:54 please Dec 07 20:07:20 *Inga does so* Dec 07 20:08:04 * Morgan moves away to relieve himself Dec 07 20:09:53 *He hears nothing from her, it’s just in his own mind where he remembers travelling this way and her sending him the image of what she could see at the rest stop, looking down at her cleavage, parted thighs, and mound Dec 07 20:11:50 * Morgan smiles a little Dec 07 20:13:04 *nothing else interrupts him, and everyone is starting to get back into the coaches. If he wishes to catch anyone before they set off, this is hIs chance Dec 07 20:13:37 * Morgan goes to find Varick Dec 07 20:15:45 *Varick is with Christopher, who is pointing out the birds in the trees* Dec 07 20:16:06 * Morgan moves up beside them, putting a hand on Varicks shoulder Dec 07 20:17:58 * Molly is now known as Varick Dec 07 20:18:12 * Varick smiles “We found a wren, Vati” Dec 07 20:18:20 Oh really? Dec 07 20:20:17 * Varick points to the little bird Dec 07 20:20:42 [I will get in now, unless you need to see me] Dec 07 20:21:12 Back in a minute... Dec 07 20:21:16 * Morgan heads over to the coach Dec 07 20:22:03 *Molly watches him approaching with a smile* Dec 07 20:22:29 * Morgan walks straight up to her before kissing her firmly Dec 07 20:25:10 *Molly makes a little noise of surprise. She kisses him gentler, more chastely, before pulling away a little* Dec 07 20:25:47 * Morgan smiles, stroking her cheek gently Dec 07 20:25:51 I'll see you in a couple of hours Dec 07 20:26:32 *Molly’s expression becomes submissive at the touch, blushing too* Yes, liebes herz Dec 07 20:27:08 * Morgan nods a little, urging her into the coach Dec 07 20:28:05 *Molly nods, going to get in. It’s fortunate, because the breeze changes direction, and for a moment all her can smell is her rosewater and pregnancy scent Dec 07 20:29:48 * Morgan helps her in, kissing her hand before going back to Varick Dec 07 20:30:27 *Varick looks a bit disgusted, but Christopher looks amused* Dec 07 20:30:56 Whats going on? Dec 07 20:33:32 V: You kissed mama Dec 07 20:34:11 * Morgan nods Dec 07 20:34:14 Married people do that Dec 07 20:34:41 I am -never- doing that! Dec 07 20:34:50 *Christopher chuckles* Dec 07 20:37:15 We'll see... do you want to ride with me? Dec 07 20:37:24 yes! can I?! Dec 07 20:37:34 * Morgan nods Dec 07 20:37:35 Come on then Dec 07 20:40:57 *They get mounted up, and it’s once they’re moving that he hears [I love you.] Dec 07 20:41:39 [and I you] Dec 07 20:43:30 [I will see you when we stop again] Dec 07 20:44:09 [yes you will] Dec 07 20:44:15 * Morgan looks around as they ride Dec 07 20:46:12 *Varick keeps him entertained a while with inconsequential chatter, but the clouds moving in does reduce the enjoyment of spending time with his eldest son Dec 07 20:47:14 * Morgan watches the clouds Dec 07 20:48:43 *they do darken over the next hour, and he can see both HH and Adalbrecht also watching them Dec 07 20:49:33 Alright kid, time to get in the coach before that rain comes Dec 07 20:50:24 *Varick sighs, but does relent, and goes in with James, Christopher and Uinise rather than Molly and the others Dec 07 20:53:31 * Varick has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 07 21:06:35 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
