Feb 22 10:44:04 Oh! I wasn’t expecting you yet Feb 22 10:44:04 * Molly comes in and shuts the door Feb 22 10:44:06 Didn't take long Feb 22 10:44:08 * Molly smiles “I’m flattered by that” Feb 22 10:44:10 The jar helped Feb 22 10:44:12 * Molly nods and blushes, biting the left side of her lower lip Feb 22 10:44:16 I was in a hurry and couldn’t find a pink cloth Feb 22 10:44:18 * Morgan nods Feb 22 10:44:20 It worked just fine Feb 22 10:44:22 * Molly nods, and he can see how big her pupils are “You’re more at ease now?” Feb 22 10:44:24 * Morgan nods Feb 22 10:44:26 I am Feb 22 10:44:28 * Molly nods, looking pleased “was it good?” Feb 22 10:44:30 * Morgan nods Feb 22 10:44:32 Aye Feb 22 10:44:34 * Molly smiles “that’s wonderful! I’m glad” Feb 22 10:46:53 Are you dressing for dinner now? Feb 22 10:47:03 * Morgan nods Feb 22 10:47:05 Aye, best had Feb 22 10:48:16 * Molly nods, moving to gently kiss his cheek “I’ll do likewise in a minute, but I need to get cleaned up first. Maggie has the boys, and Edward will be expecting you in a few minutes” Feb 22 10:49:03 * Morgan nods Feb 22 10:49:04 Alright love Feb 22 10:51:29 * Molly watches him with a fond smile “Are you sure you’re alright?” Feb 22 10:53:16 * Morgan nods Feb 22 10:53:17 Aye Feb 22 10:53:37 If you’re feeling vulnerable or ill at ease, I can hold you Feb 22 10:55:06 I'm alright love Feb 22 10:56:23 * Molly nods “Good. I know you sometimes do feel unsettled after things” Feb 22 11:00:57 * Morgan nods Feb 22 11:00:58 Sometimes, aye Feb 22 11:02:02 * Molly nods “But you’ll come to me if you need reassurance?” Feb 22 11:02:56 * Morgan nods Feb 22 11:02:56 Aye Feb 22 11:05:19 * Molly nods “I’ll see you soon, I cannot really wear these trousers to dinner!” Feb 22 11:05:46 * Morgan nods Feb 22 11:05:48 Alright love Feb 22 11:09:10 * Molly takes a hanger with a dress on it and goes through to their bedroom Feb 22 11:11:46 * Morgan gets some clothes, dressing quickly before going to speak to Edward Feb 22 11:13:34 *The mirror is on the dresser, he can hear Molly washing in the bathroom. It’s a good thing he’s spent because otherwise the sounds and possibilities of her naked in there would have made him miss his brother Feb 22 11:14:54 * Morgan sighs, getting setup to speak to his brother Feb 22 11:16:27 *Edward is there and waiting. He looks quite relaxed* Feb 22 11:18:56 * Molly is now known as Edward Feb 22 11:19:04 Good afternoon, brother Feb 22 11:19:25 Edward. How are you? Feb 22 11:20:36 * Edward smiles Feb 22 11:20:59 I am happy. I know perhaps I shouldn’t be, but I am Feb 22 11:24:38 Whyso? Feb 22 11:25:11 why shouldn’t I be happy, or why am I? Feb 22 11:26:36 Why are you Feb 22 11:28:09 * Edward smiles “Since we got married, the tension between Mimi and I about Alice and Florrie has persisted. It got better, but until these last few days we’ve been in company...” Feb 22 11:28:24 * Morgan nods Feb 22 11:29:37 Now we have both privacy and harmony Feb 22 11:30:37 * Morgan nods Feb 22 11:30:38 Good Feb 22 11:32:45 * Edward nods, moving his collar a little over his shoulder where there a two very deep love bites before the scar he got defending Morgan’s honour Feb 22 11:34:32 * Morgan whistles quietly Feb 22 11:34:35 impressive Feb 22 11:35:41 * Edward nods, smiling “I happened to say something in conversation that had an effect beyond what I anticipated” Feb 22 11:35:56 * Morgan nods slowly Feb 22 11:36:40 I was quite surprised Feb 22 11:37:29 * Morgan nods Feb 22 11:37:31 So am I Feb 22 11:38:37 * Edward smiles faintly “She’s a fascinating creature that I am still learning about, and having been just us has been enlightening...” Feb 22 11:39:02 Sounds... rude... Feb 22 11:41:16 * Edward nods “Yes. DeeDee relayed to me a comment Zench made about the power of using counting for compliance, and I did this in the coach to work towards a specific goal I have” Feb 22 11:41:37 Oh? Feb 22 11:42:07 * Edward drinks a mouthful of what looks to be rum Feb 22 11:43:08 The situation led from love bites to some oral pleasuring for both parties... *Edward checks to see if Morgan is blushing* Feb 22 11:44:30 * Morgan blushes Feb 22 11:45:56 * Edward chuckles “Ah, perhaps I should say no more” Feb 22 11:46:49 That is your choice Feb 22 11:48:23 I wouldn’t want to embarrass you further Feb 22 11:49:14 I'll be fine Feb 22 11:50:30 I believe I’ve told you that my wife will only spit, not swallow? *he knows this more from the Wolf Blood dreams of experiencing it himself than from Edward saying so* Feb 22 11:50:57 I recall you saying it was a desire Feb 22 11:52:50 * Edward nods “Very much so” Feb 22 11:53:06 * Morgan nods Feb 22 11:57:44 * Edward smiles “Following Zench’s comment, I told her she could spit when I got to zero, and counted down from three” Feb 22 12:00:20 That surprises me somewhat Feb 22 12:01:56 Why? Feb 22 12:04:54 That she would go along with that... Feb 22 12:08:47 She did indeed, and a great deal of praise was lavished upon her Feb 22 12:08:55 * Morgan nods Feb 22 12:08:58 Good Feb 22 12:09:53 I admit, I was a little concerned she might retch and I might have to make an excuse to Father about his coach having to be cleaned Feb 22 12:10:45 * Morgan smiles that would've been awkward Feb 22 12:12:49 * Edward nods Feb 22 12:14:04 Greatly. But no, she stayed knelt there very calmly on the floor with her mouth open until I held the handkerchief out for her Feb 22 12:14:53 * Morgan nods Feb 22 12:15:00 I'm glad things are going well for you Feb 22 12:16:07 * Edward nods “We have needed this time together having worked past the issues” Feb 22 12:16:55 [my love?] Feb 22 12:18:29 [yes?] Feb 22 12:18:31 * Morgan nods Feb 22 12:18:35 Aye, I think you did Feb 22 12:18:56 [would you mind if I -don’t- wait until I’m in the coach?] Feb 22 12:19:25 * Edward nods “We’re in Seeufer for the night, with the mixed religion couple Molly recommended” Feb 22 12:21:04 [no love] Feb 22 12:21:24 * Morgan nods Feb 22 12:21:26 They're good people Feb 22 12:22:17 [Thank you. I underestimated how turned on I would be by seeing the results of your self-pleasure] Feb 22 12:23:39 [I did wonder for if you would be] Feb 22 12:24:45 * Edward nods “They have been very welcoming and have asked after you. Mina is comfortable here too” Feb 22 12:26:01 [Extremely so. I am tempted to put it to use.] Feb 22 12:27:05 [I don't understand] Feb 22 12:27:22 * Morgan nods Feb 22 12:27:34 Its where we stopped the night I went to meet her Feb 22 12:27:41 [probably best that you don’t my love] Feb 22 12:28:01 * Edward nods, smiling “quite some time ago now” Feb 22 12:28:47 * Morgan nods Feb 22 12:28:48 Aye Feb 22 12:30:48 Have you had word from my daughter? Feb 22 12:33:08 They arrived safely in Baden. She was good as gold Feb 22 12:35:12 * Edward looks relieved “How did she handle leaving?” Feb 22 12:37:27 Surprisingly well to be honest Feb 22 12:39:12 * Edward nods “And you, brother?” Feb 22 12:39:53 * Morgan smiles sadly Feb 22 12:39:55 I am most heartsore Feb 22 12:40:02 *he hears the faintest of sighs of relief from the bathroom, Edward definitely wouldn’t be able to hear it* Feb 22 12:40:25 * Edward nods “I did think you might be” Feb 22 12:41:04 * Morgan nods Feb 22 12:41:21 Add to that I've got to travel soon Feb 22 12:41:52 * Edward frowns “Why?” Feb 22 12:44:05 Somethings occurring in Linsbad that needs stopping Feb 22 12:45:35 Linsbad... On the West road? Almost in Wische? Feb 22 12:49:09 * Morgan nods Feb 22 12:49:10 Thats right Feb 22 13:01:13 * Edward nods “I fought near there” Feb 22 13:02:32 * Morgan nods Feb 22 13:03:59 *He hears what sounds like a couple of splashes* Feb 22 13:04:20 It’s a got a little trade, but nothing much Feb 22 13:04:23 [are you alright?] Feb 22 13:04:32 [Mmhmm] Feb 22 13:04:41 * Morgan nods Feb 22 13:04:46 [what was that noise?] Feb 22 13:05:01 [the uhh... the waterfall thing] Feb 22 13:05:08 I want to get the situation sorted before the likes of Maubourg want to get involved Feb 22 13:05:14 will you have time, brother? Feb 22 13:06:02 I'll have to leave tomorrow I think Feb 22 13:06:16 how is Molly taking it? Feb 22 13:07:09 She's not happy about it Feb 22 13:07:44 * Edward nods “I am unsurprised. why must you go?” Feb 22 13:09:38 There's been reports of visions and they've raised an idol to the old ways Feb 22 13:10:15 * Edward frowns “I agree, you should get there and make sure they stop” Feb 22 13:10:47 *he hears a quiet sound of movement before quiet again * Feb 22 13:10:58 * Morgan nods Feb 22 13:12:25 You’ll spend the night giving her attention, I imagine? Feb 22 13:12:52 We're soon to leave for Maubourgs Feb 22 13:13:28 * Edward smiles “You’ll be cleaning up in your own coach then” Feb 22 13:14:12 Possibly, aye Feb 22 13:15:52 * Edward nods “I wish you luck, Maubourg is tedious. Who is going to be watching Molly?” Feb 22 13:16:02 Watching? Feb 22 13:16:16 To make sure she is safe and well Feb 22 13:16:32 Oh, while I'm gone? Feb 22 13:16:50 I didn’t mean now, brother *he looks amused* Feb 22 13:18:16 I thought you meant while I was at Maubourg's, since we're both going... but HeinzHarold should be back tomorrow sometime Feb 22 13:18:27 * Edward nods Feb 22 13:18:59 That is good. Where is Molly? I think Mimi wanted to talk to her Feb 22 13:20:02 [Mina wishes to talk with you] Feb 22 13:20:08 Taking a few minutes to herself Feb 22 13:20:15 I'll let her know Mina wants her Feb 22 13:21:08 * Edward doesn’t seem to see anything dirty in this, for a change Feb 22 13:21:37 thank you. You will be ready to leave for the wedding as planned? Feb 22 13:22:55 Thats the plan, yes Feb 22 13:23:23 * Edward nods Feb 22 13:24:29 Mimi and I will be on the ferry at ten tomorrow and we’ll be in Fischler by early afternoon. By evening I will be drinking good scotch with my friends at Pott’s house Feb 22 13:24:41 [blossom...] Feb 22 13:25:00 [uuhh... yes... my love?] Feb 22 13:25:37 [Mina wishes to talk with you] Feb 22 13:26:02 * Morgan nods Feb 22 13:26:05 [I am... very much... not suitable... to see... anyone!] Feb 22 13:26:15 As good as the Innismore whiskey? Feb 22 13:26:39 Unlikely, that Kilgarret one is excellent Feb 22 13:26:46 [very well, I'll tell Edward] Feb 22 13:27:50 [My love! you can’t... tell him... why!] Feb 22 13:28:30 * Morgan nods Feb 22 13:28:46 I thought so. I hope Witts has managed to procure more Feb 22 13:29:21 I’m afraid I haven’t heard from him. James might pick up news of that in Freiburg Feb 22 13:29:48 * Morgan nods Feb 22 13:31:11 Is there anything you want me to ask my friends about this time, or do you know how to arouse women now? *he smirks* Feb 22 13:32:10 I'm fairly sure of what I'm doing, thanks Feb 22 13:32:33 * Edward chuckles Feb 22 13:32:52 I hear tell of a special drink that does the same thing? Feb 22 13:33:17 * Morgan smiles Feb 22 13:33:25 Yes, a friend of mine makes it... its quite potent Feb 22 13:34:30 Have you tried it? Feb 22 13:36:06 Doesn't have any effect on me... or HeinzHarold... Feb 22 13:36:24 But on the ladies? Feb 22 13:37:59 * Morgan nods Feb 22 13:38:01 Oh yes Feb 22 13:38:29 Now that I have some interest in acquiring Feb 22 13:38:48 I'll see what I can do Feb 22 13:39:05 *he nods* I assume it works well? Feb 22 13:40:02 Violently well Feb 22 13:41:47 * Edward chuckles “be prepared for more lovebites?” Feb 22 13:43:32 At a very bare minimum Feb 22 13:43:46 I don't think Molly is going to be available sadly Feb 22 13:44:26 That’s a shame. Perhaps they can send some notes, I imagine you’ll need to get off in a minute anyway Feb 22 13:45:37 * Morgan nods Feb 22 13:45:47 We do need to finish getting ready and settle the boys Feb 22 13:46:56 We’ll speak soon. My love to you all, brother Feb 22 13:47:44 And ours to you all Feb 22 13:48:05 * Edward gently covers the mirror Feb 22 13:49:10 * Morgan sighs, covering the mirror and putting it safe Feb 22 13:50:49 *it goes in the drawer with the other mirrors* Feb 22 13:52:21 * Morgan stretches, getting himself tidied before going into the bedroom Feb 22 13:52:50 * Morgan goes to find the boys Feb 22 13:53:49 *they’re in their room playing quietly. Maggie is laying out their nightwear. There’s a large bottle of milk with the metal cup Emil normally uses* Feb 22 13:54:16 V: I thought you’d gone now, Vati Feb 22 13:54:38 It won't be long, your mama is just getting herself ready I think Feb 22 13:55:58 V: That takes foooorevvvver! Feb 22 13:57:34 * Morgan nods Feb 22 13:57:38 It can do Feb 22 13:57:56 Maggie: Does she need a hand, my Lord? Feb 22 13:58:36 No, she'll be fine Feb 22 13:58:55 Emil, would you like some milk? Feb 22 13:59:46 E: Bubbies Feb 22 14:00:28 Maggie smiles a little: I think that means milk in his own language Feb 22 14:00:42 * Morgan smiles a little, picking up the cup Feb 22 14:00:47 *Varick looks like he’s about to enlighten Maggie* Feb 22 14:01:05 * Morgan glances at him Feb 22 14:01:56 V: It doesn’t mean milk Feb 22 14:02:29 Emil looks around for Molly: Bees! Feb 22 14:02:43 Come on little lamb, have some with me Feb 22 14:02:59 Maggie: What does it mean? Feb 22 14:03:10 *Emil crawls to Morgan* Feb 22 14:03:29 [have you finished, my love?] Feb 22 14:04:53 * Morgan picks up Emil, sitting with the milk Feb 22 14:05:00 Its... something HeinzHarold says Feb 22 14:05:07 [I'm in with the boys] Feb 22 14:05:29 Maggie nods: He’s very funny, my Lord Feb 22 14:05:59 [I will be with you as soon as I can, but I have to clean up the bathroom and dress] Feb 22 14:06:06 [alright love] Feb 22 14:06:08 * Morgan nods Feb 22 14:06:11 He can be Feb 22 14:06:25 V: When is Heinzharold coming back? Feb 22 14:06:33 *Emil settles with the milk* Feb 22 14:08:03 Hopefully tomorrow Feb 22 14:08:16 * Morgan rocks him, feeding him the milk Feb 22 14:08:43 V: Okay Vati Feb 22 14:09:10 *Ten minutes pass, then fifteen. Emil loses interest in the milk* Feb 22 14:09:30 That better little man? Feb 22 14:12:09 *Emil grins, trying to stand up. Molly opens the door, fully dressed and ready. Emil looks to her, but rather than cry he goes back to his attempt Feb 22 14:12:50 * Morgan smiles, watching him Feb 22 14:14:23 *Emil looks lovingly at him* Feb 22 14:14:37 V: Mama, you’re finally ready! Feb 22 14:14:46 *Molly blushes a little* Feb 22 14:16:50 Did take a while didn't it Feb 22 14:17:12 * Edward starts picking up the toys Feb 22 14:17:21 V: Why does it take girls so long? Feb 22 14:17:28 * Edward is now known as Molly Feb 22 14:17:48 I've never understood it Feb 22 14:18:26 We should go, my love Feb 22 14:19:03 * Morgan nods Feb 22 14:19:05 Aye, best had Feb 22 14:20:54 * Molly comes to kiss both boys and to thank Maggie, saying that Inga will be along shortly. Morgan gets hugs from both his boys Feb 22 14:21:40 Be good boys, we'll see you in the morning Feb 22 14:22:50 *Varick nods, but he’s more interested in playing with his soldiers Feb 22 14:24:36 * Morgan smiles, exiting the room Feb 22 14:25:27 * Molly goes with him. She smells of rosewater Feb 22 14:27:39 This is going be tedious isn't it Feb 22 14:28:10 * Molly smiles “Probably, my love” Feb 22 14:29:06 * Morgan sighs Feb 22 14:29:07 Oh well Feb 22 14:29:37 * Molly takes his hand as they go Feb 22 14:29:49 At least it won’t be too tense now Feb 22 14:31:00 No... I suppose not Feb 22 14:32:16 * Molly squeezes his hand, going through the halls. Outside Federest seems to be incharge of the coach, and Tebbit is holding Xantha’s reins Feb 22 14:34:02 * Morgan takes Molly to the coach Feb 22 14:34:07 Lets get you settled then love Feb 22 14:35:47 * Molly smiles, getting close to him before whispering “I’ll be thinking of you” Feb 22 14:36:14 likewise Feb 22 14:36:20 * Morgan helps her into the coach Feb 22 14:37:58 * Molly puts a hand to his cheek, looking at him “You are the best thing that has ever happened to me” Feb 22 14:38:38 * Morgan looks touched Feb 22 14:40:34 * Molly blushes a little as she smiles, and gets into the coach. Normally they travel in a group, so it looks huge with just her inside Feb 22 14:41:05 I'll see you in a couple of hours Feb 22 14:41:23 * Molly nods “I’ll look forward to it” Feb 22 14:45:29 * Morgan nods, closing the door before going and pulling himself into the saddle Feb 22 14:45:42 *Xantha huffs* Feb 22 14:48:20 So you don't want to ride? Feb 22 14:48:44 *Xantha tosses his head proudly* Feb 22 14:49:57 Come on then Feb 22 14:51:00 *Xantha sets off, and Federest moves the coach out and up the drive. At the stables, Xantha gives a long glance to where his mate and foal are* Feb 22 14:52:15 * Morgan strokes his neck briefly Feb 22 14:52:20 They'll be here when we get back Feb 22 14:54:07 *Xantha keeps walking. The weather is nice, and there’s still hours of daylight ahead. It’s not long until they ride through Kempten, and many people wave to the Duke on his big gray horse and the shiny black ducal coach Feb 22 14:55:30 * Morgan waves to them as he passes Feb 22 14:57:28 *people look quite happy. They pass through without incident. They’ve been travelling about half an hour before she says [how are you?] Feb 22 14:57:51 [not bad, just waving to people] Feb 22 14:59:31 [Alright, my love. I have been meaning to ask you when we had less to do...You said the balm smell has changed?] Feb 22 15:00:52 A while ago, yes Feb 22 15:00:55 []* Feb 22 15:01:11 [what has changed?] Feb 22 15:02:17 [it just smells a bit more like you] Feb 22 15:02:43 [oh that is nice to hear] Feb 22 15:04:03 * Morgan smiles, looking around Feb 22 15:04:48 *they’re out of Kempten, so it’s mostly open land. These roads are familiar now* Feb 22 15:04:56 [does it trouble you?] Feb 22 15:06:31 [no, I suppose not] Feb 22 15:06:50 [that’s good, isn’t it?] Feb 22 15:07:18 [of course it is] Feb 22 15:08:06 [I didn’t see the jar in the bathroom...] Feb 22 15:09:03 [no, I have it] Feb 22 15:09:45 *she sounds amused* [just in case dinner is extremely dull?] Feb 22 15:12:18 [well, no, but... it will be dull] Feb 22 15:13:10 [it will. You’ll be alright though?] Feb 22 15:14:17 [aye I'll manage] Feb 22 15:15:59 [It’ll only be a few hours, then we will be at home once more. How frustrated could you really become in that time?] Feb 22 15:17:39 [I dread to think] Feb 22 15:18:22 [I suspect you’ll be seated quite some time] Feb 22 15:18:29 sated * Feb 22 15:19:34 [possibly] Feb 22 15:19:58 *Xantha walks quite compliantly for a little while, at least until he sees a good long stretch of even road, to which he starts to speed up* Feb 22 15:21:40 [Xantha wants to run, will you be alright if I do?] Feb 22 15:22:49 [yes my love, of course I will] Feb 22 15:24:02 * Morgan calls back to Federest that he's going to let Xantha run a bit Feb 22 15:25:26 F: Good idea, your Excellency! Feb 22 15:28:11 * Morgan nods, nudging Xantha into a trot then a run Feb 22 15:29:41 *Xantha pounds along, though he’s not quite so quick as he was when Morgan rode him more frequently* Feb 22 15:30:46 You need to train more too... Feb 22 15:33:02 *Xantha just keeps going* Feb 22 15:34:11 * Morgan slows him down Feb 22 15:34:28 *Xantha huffs at this* Feb 22 15:34:42 Oh, you want to keep going? We've got a way to go yet Feb 22 15:37:10 *The horse moves up to a trot* Feb 22 15:39:33 * Morgan watches his surroundings as he rides Feb 22 15:41:12 *it’s fine, a few people now and then as they pass through little hamlets. There’s going to be a lot more exercise for Xantha in the coming days with his plans to go to Linsbad* Feb 22 15:43:02 * Morgan slows, looking for somewhere to get Xantha some water Feb 22 15:44:48 *he hears a stream, and finds it in a clearing that happens to have a big tree near the water’s edge, like the one on the east road outside Paan where he’d first made himself spend at her request Feb 22 15:45:35 * Morgan moves Xantha to it, letting him drink Feb 22 15:46:43 *he does drink quite a bit, but they’re far enough ahead that the coach only just reaches them by the time they’re ready to go Feb 22 15:49:04 * Morgan sets him to walking again Feb 22 15:51:19 *he starts to feel a little soreness by the time they get to the long driveway of Maubourg’s estate, two hours since they left, and the tenderness reminds him of when they road to Atemlos the first time. Molly had complained of her own tenderness, and he’d rubbed her bottom in Faulk’s coachyard playfully. It had still all been quite new then, only a week or so after the encounter in the stables that changed things Feb 22 15:52:16 * Morgan stretches his back, slowing by the gate Feb 22 15:53:36 *Federest pulls the coach alongside* Is this it? Feb 22 15:54:01 * Morgan nods Feb 22 15:54:02 aye Feb 22 15:54:49 F: Is there anything you would like me to do here? I can gather information below stairs, maids and housekeepers like me Feb 22 15:56:53 That'd be useful, yes... ingratiate yourself if you would Feb 22 15:57:23 F: *he nods* Feb 22 15:57:38 [are we close, my love?] Feb 22 15:58:03 [we're pretty much at the gates] Feb 22 15:58:17 [And you are alright?] Feb 22 16:00:28 [yes love] Feb 22 16:01:30 [I have indeed being thinking of you. I am not too frustrated though] Feb 22 16:01:55 [thats good] Feb 22 16:02:48 [though a little frustration would be flattering, hmm?] Feb 22 16:03:24 [normally, but I think its going to be worth not being this evening] Feb 22 16:04:38 [I’ll save showing you how the bathroom ended up until we’re headed back to Hafenlohr then, my love] Feb 22 16:04:46 *they move off again* Feb 22 16:05:29 [thank you] Feb 22 16:05:33 * Morgan looks around Feb 22 16:05:37 No guards on the gate... Feb 22 16:06:11 *Federest looks around with suspicion* No... Feb 22 16:06:27 *they get past the gatehouse without trouble, but discover the usual guard that leers after her is on the doorstep instead* Feb 22 16:07:45 * Morgan looks at him Feb 22 16:07:50 No-one on the gate? Unusual Feb 22 16:08:45 Guard: Shift change. *he’s watching the carriage* Feb 22 16:09:31 I see. We're here to join the Graf for dinner Feb 22 16:10:34 *The guard nods, going to open the carriage door as he ought to* Feb 22 16:12:05 * Morgan climbs down, moving toward the carriage Feb 22 16:13:51 *He opens the door. Molly looks to be waiting to be helped out* Feb 22 16:15:58 * Morgan moves to help her out Feb 22 16:17:23 *The coach smells of Rosewater and a little of her time increasing. She keeps close to him as she gets out, smiling “Thank you, your Excellency” Feb 22 16:18:19 * Morgan nods, looking at the guard Feb 22 16:18:32 See the horses sheltered, watered and fed please Feb 22 16:20:09 *He looks a little put out, glancing at Molly’s cleavage. Though it’s alright for now, by the end of the evening she might well have needed a fichu Feb 22 16:20:59 Ready love? Feb 22 16:22:54 * Molly nods, glancing to where the butler waits to let them in Feb 22 16:23:02 I am ready Feb 22 16:24:34 * Morgan nods, moving toward the door before nodding to the butler Feb 22 16:25:40 *He bows deeply, letting them in. The dreary house is unchanged* Feb 22 16:26:06 Would your Excellencies like a moment to clean up from the road? Feb 22 16:26:17 Best had Feb 22 16:28:28 *The butler shows them into a cloak room. It looks newly done and as if Maubourg has tried to emulate the houses with electric power, though this room lacks a flushing toilet, with only a commode to one side and a bowl, jug, and towels on the dresser. The only fancy thing is a good sized mirror. The door is shut behind them. Feb 22 16:28:54 * Molly looks around with a little secretive sort of smile Feb 22 16:29:17 What? Feb 22 16:31:15 * Molly shakes her head, smiling “Nuh Uh, you do not wish to become frustrated...”. Feb 22 16:32:02 * Morgan nods, moving to get himself cleaned up Feb 22 16:33:10 * Molly does likewise, working around him Feb 22 16:33:25 I think we’ve arrived nicely on time Feb 22 16:34:12 * Morgan nods Feb 22 16:34:14 I'd say so Feb 22 16:35:32 * Molly still takes the opportunity to steal a quick kiss before moving to the door Feb 22 16:36:33 * Morgan smiles, finishing up before following her Feb 22 16:38:28 *The butler is waiting, and takes them to the antechamber where Graf and Grafin Maubourg are waiting. Their clothes are the same muddy browns as their decorating, but both look healthy enough. Polite bows and curtsies are given* Feb 22 16:38:33 * Molly is now known as Maubourg Feb 22 16:38:54 Your Excellencies Feb 22 16:38:59 My lord and lady Maubourg... Feb 22 16:39:25 Grafin: We are honoured to have you dine with us Feb 22 16:39:50 *Molly smiles* Thank you for inviting us Feb 22 16:40:51 *With this out of the way, they’re shown through to the extremely large dining room, easily twice as big as Hafenlohr’s, and bordering on the size of the banquet room in Die Dauerhaftigkeit Feb 22 16:41:47 * Morgan looks around Feb 22 16:41:53 You could host many here... Feb 22 16:46:36 * Maubourg nods Feb 22 16:46:58 In times past we have had the whole room full... Feb 22 16:47:19 *but the room now seems sad, barely used and echoey* Feb 22 16:49:56 * Morgan nods Feb 22 16:51:32 *This silence is awkward, so Molly says “Grafin Maubourg, your chinaware is lovely. Is it from Freiburg?” Feb 22 16:53:32 Grafin smiles at her: It is from Teuschnitz, in Posen. The dyes are sent up from Wittemburg on those long shallow boats Feb 22 16:54:11 * Maubourg show his wife to her seat on his left, and convention would decree that Molly should sit at his right, then Morgan next to her Feb 22 16:54:50 * Morgan shows Molly to her seat Feb 22 16:56:19 *Molly sits. It’s not the scent of her that catches at the edge of his attention, it’s how the fabric of her getting-tighter dress shows off her bump, and how that firm curve means she can’t sit as close to the table as she could Feb 22 16:56:39 Molly: The Canals? I am very interested in seeing them Feb 22 16:57:26 Not my idea of sailing Feb 22 16:58:32 * Maubourg nods “I traveled on the during the War but they were new then” Feb 22 16:59:35 Molly smiles: It has been suggested that the existence of the canals extended the War by about a year, due to the way troops and supplies could be moved Feb 22 17:00:41 *This little fact she must have gotten from the Eisen Military History book is a very odd sort of thing for a Duchess to come out with at a noble dinner, and so a glance is exchanged between the Maubourgs* Feb 22 17:01:51 I had not considered that... but I was a bit busy to be thinking about it at the time Feb 22 17:03:32 * Maubourg nods Feb 22 17:04:28 Did you serve in that part of the country? *it’s one of the few regions he didn’t see much, but so far in land there was less for the navy to do* Feb 22 17:04:58 Not really... a lot of my places I've been were mostly on the way to somewhere else Feb 22 17:10:01 * Maubourg nods to the staff. He gets served by the pregnant maid who is barely now able to conceal her stomach with a baggy apron. She smiles at him, probably remembering the money he’d given her when she’d offered him a handjob, or offered her husband work when he needed a farrier Feb 22 17:10:40 M: I think that is the region that Lord Zenchlerin is from? Feb 22 17:11:18 * Morgan nods Feb 22 17:11:21 I believe so Feb 22 17:14:23 Grafin: *she nods* The Freiarrdom of Zechlerin is on the Canal, in the Grafdom that I believe Lord Zenchlerin will take one day Feb 22 17:14:38 *they all get the food served* Feb 22 17:15:20 * Morgan thanks the staff Feb 22 17:15:42 *Molly nods to this* Sterngarten, I believe? *she looks questioningly at Morgan* Feb 22 17:16:02 * Morgan nods Feb 22 17:17:31 * Maubourg starts eating so they can. The kitchen must have gone to a lot of trouble to make the fancy foods they’ve been given. It’s very nice, and they share these sentiments after the first pause in the conversation to eat before the conversation moves back to Zench Feb 22 17:18:09 Grafin: What do you think about the Eisenfurst having adopted Lord Zenchlerin’s wife, your Excellency? *she looks to Morgan* Feb 22 17:19:41 It was somewhat unexpected. I think its been good for both of them though Feb 22 17:21:46 I think he’s lost his mind. Feb 22 17:22:06 *Molly looks surprised by this, as does his wife* Feb 22 17:22:15 Oh really? Feb 22 17:23:32 It’s impractical. If we can just choose who can be in the succession for a Konigsreich or a Grafdom, how can we say that lineage is important? How can the Divine Right to rule that passes blood to blood remain? Feb 22 17:25:10 Have you considered that Theus decided it should be the case? You think we can overrule his wishes? Feb 22 17:34:46 I do not see why he would do that Feb 22 17:35:37 He is god, its not for us -to- see why he does anything Feb 22 17:35:56 * Maubourg stays quiet Feb 22 17:36:20 M: I think it’s wonderful. They get on very well Feb 22 17:38:18 Grafin: She’ very tall for a woman, it’s such a shame Feb 22 17:38:30 A shame? Feb 22 17:38:55 Grafin: No woman wants to be that tall Feb 22 17:39:08 * Morgan shrugs Feb 22 17:39:14 I think she's quite happy as she is Feb 22 17:39:46 [I recall now why they annoy me] Feb 22 17:40:27 M: With Zench very tall too, it can be more practical to be tall as a woman if your husband is. Feb 22 17:40:49 [because they're petty?] Feb 22 17:41:03 [indeed] Feb 22 17:41:33 I wouldn’t want a tall wife. Feb 22 17:42:31 *Molly smiles in that sweet guileless way she does* Oh, no, of course. You wouldn’t need one Feb 22 17:42:50 * Morgan eats quietly Feb 22 17:43:09 *Maubourg doesn’t seem to get it* Feb 22 17:43:30 Grafin: When will you depart for the wedding? Feb 22 17:44:53 It won't be too long, though I have a trip to make in the meantime Feb 22 17:45:09 Where are you going? Feb 22 17:46:41 Linsbad Feb 22 17:47:13 Grafin: they make very fine lace there Feb 22 17:47:25 Oh really? I might bring some back Feb 22 17:48:14 *Grafin Maubourg looks a little bitter in her micro expressions* how thoughtful of you Feb 22 17:49:16 *Molly smiles though* that would be nice, I have many things I could trim with it Feb 22 17:51:56 * Morgan nods, sipping his drink Feb 22 17:52:24 What are you going out there for? Feb 22 17:55:00 A few religious differences are causing issues, thats all Feb 22 17:56:16 Don’t you have Karlsruhe for that sort of thing? Feb 22 17:57:37 * Morgan smiles a little Feb 22 17:57:53 Its a big change for everyone, actually getting involved will hopefully help people come to trust me Feb 22 17:58:06 * Maubourg nods briefly Feb 22 17:58:31 [oh... We didn’t give Inga the mirror!] Feb 22 17:58:40 [damn] Feb 22 17:58:59 [he won’t be happy] Feb 22 17:59:21 [no] Feb 22 17:59:44 Grafin: The people are used to this being the Maubourg Grafdom Feb 22 18:01:05 * Morgan nods Feb 22 18:01:06 Indeed Feb 22 18:01:09 [maybe it won’t be too late by the time we get home?] *she fidgets a little, rubbing her belly on the top right* Feb 22 18:01:36 I could send the Grafdom’s overseer Feb 22 18:03:17 No, like I say, I'll handle it in person Feb 22 18:04:03 Grafin, to Molly: You get used to remaining behind alone Feb 22 18:04:54 *Molly shrugs* I am only remaining due to my delicate condition. Were it not for that, I would be riding out with my husband Feb 22 18:05:35 [All the fu-... no, no.] Feb 22 18:06:05 [no] Feb 22 18:06:58 Grafin: It wasn’t like that in my day. Ladies stayed at home, -especially- when they were in the family way. Feb 22 18:08:03 * Maubourg nods “You wouldn’t see a single one of the mothers-to-be at Court or Occassions Of State” Feb 22 18:08:53 [It’d be rude to tell them to go and boil their heads, wouldn’t it?] Feb 22 18:08:53 Times change Feb 22 18:09:36 * Maubourg makes a huff, not dissimilar to Xantha having done so when they set off Feb 22 18:11:40 *they eat quietly a few more minutes before* Feb 22 18:12:02 Grafin: I have heard that many of the Eisenfursts are going to attend Feb 22 18:12:18 So I understand Feb 22 18:13:15 Grafin: Have you met them all? Feb 22 18:13:52 Not by a long way Feb 22 18:14:07 * Maubourg nods Feb 22 18:14:57 Hainzl doesn’t often come to functions that are not on the south coast Feb 22 18:16:37 No... its quite a lot of travel Feb 22 18:19:23 Grafin: *her tone has disdain* Especially when you have to bring a whole trail of mistresses!” Feb 22 18:22:01 Needs a whole caravan for them? Feb 22 18:22:39 *Grafin nods* He was bad enough when he was just a Graf, but when his Father died he got even more of them Feb 22 18:23:07 Shameful behaviour for a man of God. Feb 22 18:23:35 *The Grafin shoots him what could be construed as an accusatory look* Feb 22 18:24:45 *Molly glances at Morgan* [I dread to think...] Feb 22 18:24:53 [quite] Feb 22 18:25:21 He wouldn’t shame his wife by bringing them, surely? Feb 22 18:25:26 M:* Feb 22 18:25:47 Grafin: He would! I’d expect at least six of them Feb 22 18:26:14 Well... that should be entertaining Feb 22 18:30:24 Eisenfurst Freiburg will be coming too, though he keeps his present status with his mistresses quieter Feb 22 18:31:46 Grafin: As he should! Feb 22 18:32:38 * Morgan nods a little Feb 22 18:33:39 *The Grafin gives a sly glance towards her husband* And the Pottersdams will all be there, including Angelique... *Maubourg colours a little at this* Feb 22 18:35:30 I take it you are familiar with her Feb 22 18:35:43 Grafin: unfortunately. Feb 22 18:36:29 * Maubourg just eats quietly Feb 22 18:36:41 She is... interesting I suppose Feb 22 18:37:03 * Maubourg nods a little “She always was” Feb 22 18:37:17 *The Grafin looks a little put out* Feb 22 18:38:02 [At least when I am thinking of you I am not having to think about the possibility of them!] Feb 22 18:38:34 [true] Feb 22 18:38:41 I think I've only met her twice Feb 22 18:40:47 Grafin: She’s a tramp. Feb 22 18:41:27 * Maubourg looks offended by this. Molly looks like she’s trying to keep a straight face Feb 22 18:42:08 *he can almost feel the amusement coming off the staff and how it’ll be gossip later* Feb 22 18:42:40 * Morgan looks a little surprised Feb 22 18:44:24 *Maubourg doesn’t call it out, and so the main course is finished in silence. Whilst the table is being cleared ready for dessert, Molly politely excuses herself Feb 22 18:45:03 I've been thinking about how I can ensure continued support for the people of Gottkirchen Feb 22 18:46:31 *Maubourg nods, sipping his wine* Feb 22 18:46:42 It’s a large responsibility Feb 22 18:46:58 Of course... Feb 22 18:48:20 Grafin: What is your idea, your Excellency? Feb 22 18:54:42 I'm going to setup a secular fund instead, so that help isn't restricted to followers of a single church Feb 22 18:55:07 * Maubourg frowns “How will that work?” Feb 22 18:55:36 There'll be a council to decide where the money should be spent to help people Feb 22 18:57:05 And what will happen to the Church? Feb 22 18:57:46 I'll be paying my tithes to my church as is proper... but people will not need to rely on the church having the funds Feb 22 18:58:13 * Maubourg looks unhappy with this Feb 22 18:58:31 What about the schools and hospitals the Church provides? Feb 22 18:58:51 * Morgan watches him patiently Feb 22 18:59:03 They are welcome to continue that Feb 22 19:01:03 They will not be able to afford it Feb 22 19:04:50 You're saying those things are provided solely because of your tithes? Feb 22 19:06:39 No... Feb 22 19:06:55 Then why would they not be able to afford it? Feb 22 19:07:49 * Maubourg huffs “My money does go a long way. No one can say I am not generous to my Church” Feb 22 19:08:52 You are taking offence where there is none Feb 22 19:09:38 * Maubourg nods briefly. The servants lay out the table with a peach cobbler and custard. Molly still hasn’t returned Feb 22 19:10:33 [where are you?] Feb 22 19:12:11 [I was just answering a call of nature, my love. I’ll be right with you] Feb 22 19:12:32 * Maubourg watches the door, waiting for her to rejoin the table Feb 22 19:12:56 Grafin: It’s not up to us what you do here once it is your Grafdom Feb 22 19:14:18 No... but it is important that you see that I am going to work to carry on trying to improve things Feb 22 19:16:09 *they nods slightly. Molly is let back in. As predicted about the fichu, her breasts do look a little fuller over the neckline of her dress. Feb 22 19:16:44 [could've done with a fichu really, couldn't we] Feb 22 19:16:51 * Morgan stands to seat Molly again Feb 22 19:18:57 [I think I should have increased my supply a little less] Feb 22 19:19:24 [perhaps] Feb 22 19:19:47 *This time she definitely does smell distracting, and she thanks him politely as she sits, once more her belly pressed against the table* Feb 22 19:20:05 * Maubourg starts eating, and does his wife Feb 22 19:21:09 * Morgan eats quietly Feb 22 19:22:29 [My goodness, I come back in and kill the conversation!] Feb 22 19:22:52 [no, I did that] Feb 22 19:23:25 *She pours the custard on hers, but she looks distracted as she licks the back of her spoon a little* [how?] Feb 22 19:24:53 [I was telling them about the fund I am setting up] Feb 22 19:25:21 [They do not approve?] Feb 22 19:25:37 [he's having something of a tantrum about it for some reason] Feb 22 19:26:09 [Should we just leave him to sulk?] Feb 22 19:26:36 [probably not] Feb 22 19:27:31 *they all eat quietly. He notices the pregnant maid subtly rub her belly* Feb 22 19:28:03 Grafin: I hope you will take proper advice from a solicitor first, your Excellency Feb 22 19:30:00 * Morgan smiles a little Feb 22 19:30:08 I'll be speaking to my solicitor at some point soon, yes Feb 22 19:30:39 *She nods* Feb 22 19:30:59 [do we need to stay for coffee also?] Feb 22 19:31:17 [I'd rather not have to] Feb 22 19:33:30 *Molly subtly yawns before saying* Oh, I am so sorry. Being with child has made me much more tired in the early evenings. Did you experience that, Lady Maubourg? Feb 22 19:33:50 Grafin nods sadly: I did, yes Feb 22 19:37:59 * Maubourg nods slightly. This hasn’t made the remainder of the meal less uncomfortable, but it does mean that when they’ve finished eating the Grafin asks “Would you like to skip coffee so you can begin your journey?” Feb 22 19:38:20 I think perhaps that might be best... I don't want to overtax my wife Feb 22 19:38:49 [Not for a little while at least] Feb 22 19:39:30 *Maubourg and his wife both stand, and Molly waits for him to pull out her chair* Feb 22 19:40:03 * Morgan does so Feb 22 19:42:48 *She smells very good so close, and she stays nearby him even as they all go to collect the visitors’ cloaks* Feb 22 19:43:04 We will see you at the wedding, I believe Feb 22 19:43:15 We look forward to it Feb 22 19:46:12 *the butler takes them outside after their goodnights are finished* B: Your coachman is just bringing your coach and horse around, your Excellency Feb 22 19:46:49 Wonderful, thank you Feb 22 19:48:45 *The Butler retreats to just inside the door* Feb 22 19:48:57 [I am so glad that is over!] Feb 22 19:49:07 [me too, frankly] Feb 22 19:49:28 *she glances up at him with a smile* Feb 22 19:49:34 * Maubourg is now known as Molly Feb 22 19:49:44 I did try... Feb 22 19:50:12 Try what? Feb 22 19:50:19 To behave myself Feb 22 19:51:28 * Morgan nods Feb 22 19:51:30 Aye Feb 22 19:52:18 * Molly smiles “It was quite hard” Feb 22 19:52:39 Was it indeed? Feb 22 19:54:49 * Molly nods, giving him that sweet little smile “I have so much naughtiness in me, it’s such a challenge to be a good girl for hours on end” Feb 22 19:55:23 I daresay it is Feb 22 19:56:09 * Molly nods “It’s going to be a long trip home...” Feb 22 19:57:43 * Morgan nods Feb 22 19:57:45 I imagine so, aye Feb 22 19:58:51 * Molly takes his hand and kisses his knuckles. He can hear the approaching hooves “You can imagine all the way home how I might be filling my... time” Feb 22 19:59:20 * Morgan nods Feb 22 19:59:23 No doubt I will Feb 22 19:59:43 Do you regret riding now? Feb 22 20:00:19 * Morgan shrugs Feb 22 20:00:27 I've never really enjoyed being in coaches Feb 22 20:02:23 Very true... And you’ve had more fun distracting yourself by distracting me on horseback *This is what he’d said in December when she was in front of him on horseback and he was pleasuring her very roughly, telling her she may as well give in* Feb 22 20:03:05 * Morgan smiles, kissing her knuckles Feb 22 20:04:39 * Molly sighs happily, watching his lips on her skin. Federest stops the coach by them Feb 22 20:05:08 * Morgan opens the door, helping her in Feb 22 20:06:54 * Molly makes sure her belly brushes him as she does Feb 22 20:07:06 I hope you have a comfortable ride, my love... Feb 22 20:08:09 I doubt it, but I'll try Feb 22 20:09:10 * Molly nods, getting seated Feb 22 20:09:45 I’ll see you in a while Feb 22 20:10:53 Alright love Feb 22 20:11:25 * Molly blows him a kiss with a smile Feb 22 20:11:45 * Morgan smiles, shutting the door before getting up into the saddle Feb 22 20:14:13 *Xantha allows it with no fuss. They set off. It’s almost dark, and the night is still warm. They take the route back through Kiev itself this time, and there are the usual noisy taverns and people milling around. They all treat Morgan’s party with respect though, not getting in the way or being offensive Feb 22 20:14:33 * Morgan rides quietly, looking around Feb 22 20:15:25 *it takes about twenty minutes before they’re back to the quieter roads* Feb 22 20:15:48 [how are you faring, my love? You’re comfortable?] Feb 22 20:16:24 [comfortable enough, aye] Feb 22 20:16:56 [let us hope nothing happens that would reduce that...] Feb 22 20:20:31 [indeed, let us hope] Feb 22 20:21:10 [twould be unfortunate, wouldn’t it, if a little thought of mine became a little thought of yours...] Feb 22 20:22:11 *the route is quiet at this time of the evening, not many travellers out late. Federest is quiet too, so it’s just the three horses and the wheels* Feb 22 20:22:36 [it would indeed] Feb 22 20:24:17 *she stays quiet for several minutes, long enough for him to wonder if she’s either fallen asleep or decided not to play with him any longer* Feb 22 20:25:29 * Morgan looks around Feb 22 20:26:25 *it’s still quiet. There’s some moonlight now, but mostly the light come from the carriage lanterns* Feb 22 20:26:54 * Morgan hums quietly to himself Feb 22 20:29:56 *he gets the image of the cream flannel from earlier. It’s still shiny with his own release, but from where it’s hung over the edge of the bath it’s cleared also soaked through, little drops of wetness hitting the tiles* Feb 22 20:30:02 [oopsie.] Feb 22 20:30:56 [oopsie indeed] Feb 22 20:31:35 *he gets another few minutes without contact* Feb 22 20:34:18 [still comfortable, my love?] Feb 22 20:35:02 [fairly] Feb 22 20:35:25 [you are managing to concentrate on your ride?] Feb 22 20:35:44 [aye] Feb 22 20:36:30 [Very well...] Feb 22 20:38:26 *the next thing he gets is a wet patch on the tiles which seems to have had his marked shirt placed on it to dry the floor* Feb 22 20:39:43 * Morgan blushes Feb 22 20:40:47 [That was an even bigger oopsie?] Feb 22 20:41:11 [was it?] Feb 22 20:42:34 [oh... well, if it wasn’t enough to affect your comfort... *she sounds amused*] Feb 22 20:43:54 * Morgan smiles a little Feb 22 20:44:58 [or perhaps it is more than you can handle, hmm?] Feb 22 20:45:16 [I think not] Feb 22 20:48:11 *The next thing she sends him is that same shirt on the floor, but the image is not static this time. He can just see how one foot is on the edge of the bathtub, the other on the floor. The toes on each curl hard just before there’s a sudden gush of liquid that soaks into his shirt from the topside* Feb 22 20:50:12 * Morgan blushes hard Feb 22 20:50:51 [Are you still handling it, my love?] Feb 22 20:52:08 [uhhh... just abouts] Feb 22 20:52:32 [Would you like me to stop, hmm?] Feb 22 20:53:26 [I'm alright for the time being] Feb 22 20:53:42 [that’s fortunate...] Feb 22 20:55:37 [is it?] Feb 22 20:55:46 *She gives it a couple of minutes before he gets another image, just a close up of her bringing the mostly dry cream flannel to her face and inhaling deeply* Feb 22 20:58:47 * Morgan licks his lips Feb 22 20:59:18 [what do you think happened next?] Feb 22 21:00:13 [I couldn't say] Feb 22 21:00:34 [curious?] Feb 22 21:01:37 [aye] Feb 22 21:02:45 *the next is similar, but she brushes the wet part of the fabric across her lips, leaving them shiny* Feb 22 21:04:10 [you did that?] Feb 22 21:04:35 [absolutely.] Feb 22 21:05:07 * Morgan blushes Feb 22 21:05:50 [is that a problem for you?] Feb 22 21:06:24 [no love] Feb 22 21:08:18 [good, because...] *The next thing is the tip of her tongue running over her lips before she sucks them a little, cloth still in hand* Feb 22 21:08:35 * Morgan clears his throat, fidgeting in the saddle Feb 22 21:08:59 [still comfortable, my love?] Feb 22 21:09:26 [not especially] Feb 22 21:09:46 [oh dear... I should probably stop then?] Feb 22 21:10:27 [uhhh... really, yes] Feb 22 21:11:12 [a pity, I was enjoying myself] Feb 22 21:11:28 [sorry love but there's a long way to go yet] Feb 22 21:12:21 [you’re concerned we’d need to make a stop for your comfort?] Feb 22 21:12:57 [perhaps] Feb 22 21:13:48 [I will leave it in your hands then, my love. If you become too comfortable or too curious, let me know, hmm?] Feb 22 21:17:00 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Feb 22 21:25:59 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Feb 22 21:26:46 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Feb 22 21:36:00 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
