Jan 14 19:40:30 * Molly is now known as Alice Jan 14 19:40:45 * Alice nods “yes, and you?” Jan 14 19:41:26 Aye. She was a bit upset so I've waited til she was asleep to put her to bed Jan 14 19:42:38 Sorry, I should have expected it Jan 14 19:43:45 Its fine Jan 14 19:45:45 * Alice nods “thanks for doing her bedtime” Jan 14 19:45:55 * Morgan frowns a little Jan 14 19:46:00 I didn't overstep, I hope Jan 14 19:47:35 No, of course not, you’re her uncle Jan 14 19:48:15 * Morgan nods Jan 14 19:48:18 What did they say? Jan 14 19:49:56 That they’d support me either way Jan 14 19:50:24 * Morgan nods Jan 14 19:51:41 I think they were surprised Jan 14 19:53:13 Oh? Jan 14 19:53:52 * Alice smiles “I got asked why he would offer that” Jan 14 19:55:19 * Morgan nods Jan 14 19:57:25 * Alice smiles “is it that hard to believe?” Jan 14 19:57:51 That a single man would be willing to do all that with no... satisfaction himself? Jan 14 19:58:29 * Alice nods Jan 14 20:00:24 Its hardly likely Jan 14 20:01:34 He’s got this vow of celibacy though Jan 14 20:02:07 Which makes it even more unexpected Jan 14 20:02:41 do you think I shouldn’t trust him? Jan 14 20:03:54 Ask yourself if I'd employ him, have him around my family, if I didn't think him trustworthy Jan 14 20:05:04 * Alice nods, smiling Jan 14 20:05:08 alright Jan 14 20:05:27 When it comes down to it, though, its down to whether or not -you- feel you can trust him Jan 14 20:06:32 * Alice nods “He seems nice” Jan 14 20:09:32 * Morgan nods Jan 14 20:09:34 I like him Jan 14 20:10:29 * Alice nods Jan 14 20:10:55 we’ll see if he’s got the skills to make it worth my time then Jan 14 20:12:08 * Morgan smiles, blushing a little Jan 14 20:13:00 * Alice looks at him “What?” Jan 14 20:13:17 Nothing... Jan 14 20:16:31 * Alice smiles “No, go on” Jan 14 20:17:00 Uhhh... no, I think best not Jan 14 20:17:53 were you about to boast about your prowess? Jan 14 20:19:43 No, definitely not... *he blushes more* Jan 14 20:20:56 * Alice grins “Thousands would believe you, but not me” Jan 14 20:22:06 No? Jan 14 20:24:25 * Alice shakes her head “You play straight laced, but I know too much about you” Jan 14 20:25:24 You think so? Jan 14 20:27:27 * Alice nods “I know that your pregnant wife is about to get changed for dinner* She watches for his blushing Jan 14 20:28:28 Okay... Jan 14 20:28:58 * Alice looks surprised Jan 14 20:29:24 * Morgan smiles Jan 14 20:29:50 My stock and trade in the war was getting information and passing misinformation... I'm -very- good at it if I choose to be Jan 14 20:31:41 * Alice nods Jan 14 20:32:24 fair enough Jan 14 20:32:43 * Morgan smiles again, glancing toward the door Jan 14 20:33:15 Besides... is it not straight laced to desire ones wife? Jan 14 20:34:07 To the degree you do? Jan 14 20:34:32 * Morgan shrugs Jan 14 20:34:38 Perhaps... perhaps not. Jan 14 20:36:19 It’s nice though, let’s be honest men don’t have a good reputation for staying faithful Jan 14 20:37:21 No... they don't. Mind you, my cousin Alarice seemed hellbent on levelling up the scores all on her own Jan 14 20:40:51 * Alice nods “I heard she was a bit 9f a nightmare” Jan 14 20:41:17 * Morgan nods slowly Jan 14 20:41:29 That is... more of an understatement than I am prone to... Jan 14 20:43:05 * Alice nods “I heard that she kissed you” Jan 14 20:43:36 * Morgan nods Jan 14 20:43:52 I wasn't expecting it... normally I'd have been more... on guard Jan 14 20:45:46 * Alice grins “Do you always brace yourself for women unexpectedly kissing you normally then?” Jan 14 20:46:52 No, I just couldn't fathom I'd reach the dizzying heights of having four women who'd want to Jan 14 20:49:18 Only four? Jan 14 20:49:46 * Morgan nods Jan 14 20:50:05 Dietlinde, Molly, Eiblinn... couldn't imagine anyone else wanting to Jan 14 20:50:15 I mean, I know my hair -was- impressive... Jan 14 20:51:37 * Alice shrugs “I’d bet it’d be more than four if you weren’t married” Jan 14 20:53:04 No, most people don't get to see this easy going, charming side to me Jan 14 20:53:34 * Alice nods “Maybe that why it was only four then” Jan 14 20:55:13 That and I look like a potato Jan 14 20:55:14 * Morgan grins Jan 14 20:56:06 * Alice rolls her eyes “You don’t Jan 14 20:59:58 We'll agree to disagree there... though I don't look too bad in a doublet Jan 14 21:00:51 * Alice laughs “What about out of it?” Jan 14 21:01:27 * Morgan wrinkles his nose Jan 14 21:01:47 No, the scars are far too off-putting for that Jan 14 21:02:22 So you make up for it by being good in bed? Jan 14 21:02:37 Adequate, I think... Jan 14 21:05:18 * Alice shrugs “Still better than many” Jan 14 21:07:04 Well, I make up for failings with enthusiasm Jan 14 21:08:01 * Alice laughs “I got the feeling you might be enthusiastic” Jan 14 21:08:14 * Morgan blushes Jan 14 21:08:15 Dammit Jan 14 21:09:42 * Alice laughs Jan 14 21:10:11 That got you, but not the comment about her being pregnant?! Jan 14 21:10:24 * Morgan shrugs Jan 14 21:10:30 I didn't say it didn't get me, you just didn't see it Jan 14 21:12:28 I’m glad for Molly that she’s landed a good man Jan 14 21:12:54 God knows where she's hiding him Jan 14 21:14:05 * Alice laughs Jan 14 21:17:20 If she has a spare, maybe she’d like to rent him out Jan 14 21:18:01 * Morgan chuckles Jan 14 21:19:14 Unless she’s renting you out instead Jan 14 21:20:26 Curiously, she's stated in the past that'd never happen Jan 14 21:21:22 You didn’t ask to be rented out, sure Jan 14 21:21:26 surely? Jan 14 21:21:40 No, no... I cant remember how it came about either Jan 14 21:23:52 * Alice nods, grinning “I might have given you a guilder or two for an hour” Jan 14 21:24:15 A guilder?! Jan 14 21:25:11 * Alice nods “Maybe two” Jan 14 21:25:31 I know I've got a bit of wear and tear going on, but still... Jan 14 21:28:07 You think you’re worth more than two guilders an hour? Jan 14 21:29:15 Enthusiasm, see Jan 14 21:29:56 How much then? Jan 14 21:30:55 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jan 14 21:33:39 * Alice has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
