**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Feb 28 10:32:39 2026 Feb 28 10:32:39 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Feb 28 16:04:46 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Feb 28 16:06:36 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Feb 28 17:50:10 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Feb 28 17:50:59 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Feb 28 18:27:44 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Feb 28 18:28:39 I am gladdened that Lady Torrington is safely at home Feb 28 18:28:39 * Morgan nods Feb 28 18:28:39 Its taken some doing Feb 28 18:28:39 * Horatio nods Feb 28 18:28:41 I wanted to help, but I had word about my daughter. A false lead, unfortunately, but that had to take priority Feb 28 18:28:47 And if it happens again? Feb 28 18:28:49 I may have to leave again, but I will give yourself and Lady Torrington warning Feb 28 18:28:51 * Morgan nods Feb 28 18:28:53 Very well Feb 28 18:28:55 * Horatio nods “How long do you think she will need?” Feb 28 18:28:57 I couldn't say Feb 28 18:28:59 * Horatio nods “I had barely set foot in the coachyard when I heard her screaming for you. It was very lucky timing” Feb 28 18:29:00 * Morgan frowns Feb 28 18:29:02 Screaming for me? Feb 28 18:29:04 Oh yes, yelling your name Feb 28 18:29:06 * Morgan frowns Feb 28 18:29:08 She didn't mention that Feb 28 18:29:10 I imagine you’re the only one she might have trusted in a delicate state. That reminds me, her clothing is in the bottom of the pool Feb 28 18:29:15 * Morgan nods Feb 28 18:29:17 I'll get it seen to Feb 28 18:30:45 * Molly is now known as Horatio Feb 28 18:31:29 * Horatio nods. A maid calls from downstairs “Master Hockridge?” Feb 28 18:32:49 Yes? Feb 28 18:34:13 Maid: Lady Torrington and Lord Jaeger have bumped into the Ashburtons in town and are going to stay with them. She asked if you can pack some overnight things for them and send them over Feb 28 18:35:09 * Morgan rolls his eyes Feb 28 18:35:11 Very well Feb 28 18:35:47 *the maid smiles faintly* Do you want me to do her Ladyship’s things? Feb 28 18:36:18 * Morgan nods Feb 28 18:36:24 I'll deal with his lordships Feb 28 18:36:51 I will go to wait for Molly *he smiles* Feb 28 18:37:06 * Morgan nods, moving away and scowling Feb 28 18:38:25 *Jaeger’s room is one of the best guest rooms, but that doesn’t exempt it from Morgan having a key* Feb 28 18:38:46 * Morgan lets himself in Feb 28 18:40:05 *the room is untidy, a typical Lordling expecting servants to do absolutely everything for him. Dirty clothes are on chairs, muddy boots by the hearth, and correspondence left on the desk Feb 28 18:41:14 * Morgan moves to find a bag to stuff some clothes in Feb 28 18:42:04 *He finds one, and some clean expensive clothing. Jaeger’s shaving kit is weighting down a letter on the desk* Feb 28 18:42:16 * Morgan looks at it Feb 28 18:45:33 *The writing is neat but fast. It says “Curtis, You are NOT to wed this woman. She is far inferior to you and our family. It sounds like she is ruined already, and a loose woman is not fit to be a wife. Cease your contact immediately, before she uses you to ruin her further or to catch a child from you. Do not waste your money on a doctor, you will be disinherited if you marry such a worthless slattern. J.J” Feb 28 18:46:15 * Morgan looks around at any other correspondence Feb 28 18:46:58 *there is some, quite a few letters of demand for balances owing, some basic gossip from contacts, but that’s all* Feb 28 18:47:18 * Morgan nods to himself, putting the shaving kit in the bag and pocketing the letter Feb 28 18:48:14 *That done, he has to decide whether to ride to five mile round trip, or to send it out* Feb 28 18:49:01 * Morgan goes to find Mary Feb 28 18:49:22 *Mary is found in the dining room* Feb 28 18:49:27 * Horatio is now known as Mary Feb 28 18:50:05 Mary, I want a chaperone with Molly... she and Mr Black are not to be left alone under any circumstances Feb 28 18:50:53 * Mary looks surprised Feb 28 18:51:05 With Mr Black?! But he’s harmless Feb 28 18:51:20 * Morgan fixes her with a stare Feb 28 18:51:23 Did I stutter? Feb 28 18:51:47 No, but... they spent time together alone before Feb 28 18:52:44 And now they don't Feb 28 18:53:06 Is it because of Lord Jaeger then? Feb 28 18:53:21 * Morgan stares at her Feb 28 18:53:33 At which point did you become -my- employer? Feb 28 18:53:58 * Mary curtsies a moment and stays quiet Feb 28 18:54:10 * Morgan nods toward the door Feb 28 18:54:14 go Feb 28 18:55:05 * Mary does so Feb 28 18:56:14 * Morgan goes to get a horse ready for the ride Feb 28 18:57:57 *He’s soon on the road, pounding along. The wind is refreshing, the sun hot. She’d called for -him-? If he’d been in the right place at the right time, he’d have been the one to rescue her* Feb 28 18:59:15 * Morgan scowls as he rides Feb 28 19:00:12 *He arrives At the Ashburton’s small manor without trouble, and the staff recognise him enough that the butler says Feb 28 19:00:19 Evening, Master Hockridge Feb 28 19:00:54 I've brought clothing for her ladyship and lord Jaeger Feb 28 19:00:56 * Mary is now known as Butler Feb 28 19:02:09 * Butler nods “I’ll take it. Do you have a message for her? Feb 28 19:03:30 Mr Black has returned Feb 28 19:04:01 * Butler nods, taking the bags Feb 28 19:04:07 Very well, sir Feb 28 19:04:41 * Morgan nods, handing the bags over Feb 28 19:04:48 You'll want extra staff to tidy up after him Feb 28 19:05:03 * Butler nods Feb 28 19:05:06 I’ll see to it Feb 28 19:05:31 * Morgan nods, returning to his horse Feb 28 19:07:07 *no one interrupts again, and the next people he sees are Molly and Horatio, sat on the Rose Garden wall whilst Mary hovers in the background. They are laughing and look happy Feb 28 19:07:50 * Morgan scowls Feb 28 19:08:32 *They both give him a cheerful wave* Feb 28 19:09:03 * Morgan nods a little before looking around Feb 28 19:11:25 *it’s heading towards dusk now, and time for the usual dinner and then patrol. Watching them fawn over each other during the meal killed his appetite, and so he’d gone early to stomp around in the forest and argue with himself about how disproportionately he’s reacting to this situation when she was already marrying Jaeger anyway. He gets back just before ten* Feb 28 19:12:09 * Morgan moves to make himself some coffee Feb 28 19:12:29 *he manages it. Mary comes in* Feb 28 19:12:42 Everyone has retired, sir Feb 28 19:12:52 * Morgan nods Feb 28 19:12:56 Doesn't surprise me Feb 28 19:13:29 Nothing went on... Feb 28 19:13:33 * Butler is now known as Mary Feb 28 19:14:02 But... Feb 28 19:15:08 * Mary smiles Feb 28 19:15:18 I think there’s love there Feb 28 19:16:00 That wouldn't surprise me... Feb 28 19:16:13 * Mary smiles Feb 28 19:16:51 They were talking about the future, and whether they would live in the school house, and how she could teach too Feb 28 19:17:07 I see Feb 28 19:18:32 * Mary makes her own tea Feb 28 19:18:55 She’ll need to break that engagement though Feb 28 19:19:06 No doubt Feb 28 19:19:58 Then we can host a wedding here, something sooner Feb 28 19:20:31 * Morgan rolls his eyes Feb 28 19:20:42 More people incapable of tidying up after themselves Feb 28 19:22:26 * Mary smiles “That’ll never change here, sir. The rest of our days will be tidying up and pretending to be completely satisfied with standing quietly while other people have fun and dance” Feb 28 19:23:09 * Morgan shrugs Feb 28 19:23:14 maybe Feb 28 19:24:20 That’s the way of it for people like us Feb 28 19:24:57 You might be right... but then... she started off like us... Feb 28 19:25:21 * Mary nods Feb 28 19:26:13 She’s done well. She’s nice though, and I think any man who marries her would be the luckier of them, regardless of his station Feb 28 19:26:27 Perhaps Feb 28 19:26:55 * Mary finishes her tea, then starts washing up. He hears the kitchen door open Feb 28 19:27:31 * Morgan looks around Feb 28 19:27:42 * Mary is now known as Horatio Feb 28 19:27:51 * Horatio looks to be looking for him Feb 28 19:28:00 Morgan, might I have a word? Feb 28 19:28:08 * Morgan sighs Feb 28 19:28:10 Very well Feb 28 19:28:30 In private? Feb 28 19:29:16 * Morgan nods, walking off towards an office Feb 28 19:30:00 * Horatio follows Feb 28 19:31:39 * Morgan pushes the door open, motioning him inside Feb 28 19:32:20 * Horatio comes in. He looks jovial Feb 28 19:32:58 * Morgan goes in, closing the door Feb 28 19:33:15 * Horatio smiles “I wanted to tell you that she is well” Feb 28 19:33:26 In private... Feb 28 19:33:49 * Horatio nods Feb 28 19:34:06 I understand the situation we find ourselves in is difficult Feb 28 19:34:38 Is it? Feb 28 19:35:44 Molly has accepted a proposal to another man. That is my fault Feb 28 19:36:16 * Morgan just watches him Feb 28 19:37:12 I did not make my feelings clear before I left, which I should have done Feb 28 19:37:38 Instead you left without a word, stayed away, without a word, and returned, without warning. Feb 28 19:38:21 * Horatio nods Feb 28 19:38:28 I have erred, I know Feb 28 19:39:02 * Morgan nods Feb 28 19:39:03 You have Feb 28 19:39:18 I hope that I can be forgiven Feb 28 19:39:37 *he smiles, that same easy smile that had made him so well-liked before* Feb 28 19:40:07 That would depend on her ladyship Feb 28 19:40:30 * Horatio nods Feb 28 19:40:55 And by yourself? Feb 28 19:41:19 * Morgan shrugs Feb 28 19:41:28 I'm just staff, my forgiveness or otherwise is irrelevant Feb 28 19:42:11 * Horatio looks sad about this Feb 28 19:42:26 I thought we were developing a friendship Feb 28 19:46:04 And then you left Feb 28 19:46:53 I had to follow a lead for Jessie *he looks pained talking about his missing daughter* Feb 28 19:47:17 You could, and should, have sent word. A lot occurred while you were gone. Feb 28 19:47:27 * Horatio nods Feb 28 19:47:53 I have been told that I led you to danger, and I am truly sorry for that Feb 28 19:48:09 * Morgan shrugs Feb 28 19:48:16 My being in danger is of no concern Feb 28 19:49:15 Then what are you holding against me? Feb 28 19:49:59 Aside from your return complicating matters, I hold nothing against you. This is just how I am Feb 28 19:50:27 * Horatio nods Feb 28 19:50:58 Molly said you have been a good friend in my absence. Allow me to give you my great good thanks for that Feb 28 19:51:22 * Morgan shrugs Feb 28 19:51:25 She deserved better Feb 28 19:52:51 * Horatio nods earnestly Feb 28 19:53:26 I want to give her that. I want to give her my good name, and a home, and in time, I want to make her a mother Feb 28 19:54:05 After just a few hours Feb 28 19:56:23 * Horatio smiles “Those seeds were sown long ago when she nursed me through my consumption. I know you warned her about her attachment to me.” Feb 28 19:57:24 Yes, I did. It seems it fell on deaf ears Feb 28 19:57:39 * Horatio nods Feb 28 19:58:11 It did. But rest assured, I will treat her well Feb 28 19:59:07 That is none of my business Feb 28 19:59:36 She is worried you will disapprove, despite my motives being pure Feb 28 20:00:39 My approval, like my forgiveness, is irrelevant Feb 28 20:01:09 It matters to -her- Feb 28 20:02:04 My view of it is the least of your issues Feb 28 20:02:28 * Horatio nods Feb 28 20:02:47 I would appreciate your assistance, or at the very least, your blessing Feb 28 20:04:27 * Morgan shrugs Feb 28 20:04:29 Its her choice Feb 28 20:04:37 * Horatio frowns Feb 28 20:05:58 I know I left when I shouldnt have, but I hope I have given no further cause for you to feel I am not good enough for her Feb 28 20:07:02 What I think does not matter Feb 28 20:07:20 * Horatio nods Feb 28 20:07:31 I cannot count on your aid, I understand Feb 28 20:07:56 I don't see you need it Feb 28 20:08:24 Molly must break her betrothal Feb 28 20:08:35 And? Feb 28 20:10:04 I do not know the man in question, you do Feb 28 20:10:33 I'm just a servant Feb 28 20:11:25 * Horatio nods a little Feb 28 20:11:46 I am putting you in an inappropriate position. I will take my leave Feb 28 20:12:14 Very well Feb 28 20:13:19 * Horatio bows politely and shows himself out Feb 28 20:14:03 * Morgan stands still, flexing his fingers for a few moments Feb 28 20:15:33 *he’s left at a loose end. With Molly reunited with a man she would have no need to have doubts over, and with having pushed Horatio away, and his ugly break up with Evie, there’s going to be a lot less friendship here for him* Feb 28 20:17:38 * Morgan sighs, leaving the room and heading up to his own, slowly packing a bag Feb 28 20:17:57 *there’s a little tap at his door* Feb 28 20:18:44 * Morgan drops the bag, kicking it under the bed Feb 28 20:18:46 Yes? Feb 28 20:18:57 * Horatio is now known as Molly Feb 28 20:19:05 I would speak with you... Feb 28 20:19:55 Would you Feb 28 20:20:32 Might I? Feb 28 20:20:54 quickly Feb 28 20:21:55 * Molly enters. She’s still in daytime clothes, but her hair is in a loose braid Feb 28 20:22:07 I wanted to see how you are Feb 28 20:22:35 Why? Feb 28 20:23:16 Because we are friends Feb 28 20:25:21 I'm fine Feb 28 20:26:04 * Molly looks relieved Feb 28 20:26:22 I know this is all a big change, and of course it will be painful Feb 28 20:26:30 Will it? Feb 28 20:26:52 * Molly nods Feb 28 20:27:19 I know it looked like infatuation, but I suspect there might have been some true feelings there too Feb 28 20:27:39 Where? Feb 28 20:28:12 In Lord Jaeger Feb 28 20:28:25 * Morgan shrugs Feb 28 20:28:27 Thats his problem Feb 28 20:28:45 * Molly nods “I did not want to hurt anyone” Feb 28 20:29:29 * Morgan shrugs Feb 28 20:30:27 * Molly smiles “He will be happier when he marries someone more suitable in station” Feb 28 20:30:45 * Morgan shrugs Feb 28 20:30:47 Maybe Feb 28 20:31:40 * Molly watches him Feb 28 20:31:48 You are happy for me, aren’t you? Feb 28 20:33:35 * Morgan watches her Feb 28 20:33:46 You deserve to be happy Feb 28 20:34:06 * Molly smiles “Thank you. I have something to ask of you” Feb 28 20:34:17 That being? Feb 28 20:35:35 Would you walk me down the aisle? Feb 28 20:35:58 I'm sorry, no. Feb 28 20:37:17 * Molly looks puzzled Feb 28 20:37:35 what? “No”?! Feb 28 20:38:06 Thats what I said Feb 28 20:38:56 * Molly looks hurt, but tries to cover it “I understand. Excuse me, I will go” Feb 28 20:39:51 If that is what you wish Feb 28 20:40:09 I shouldn’t have asked. Your daughter... I’m sorry. Feb 28 20:40:36 Indeed. Feb 28 20:41:59 * Molly looks to the floor “I should have thought.” Feb 28 20:42:10 It happens Feb 28 20:43:04 I hope we can remain friends, Morgan. You matter to me very much, and that will continue Feb 28 20:44:27 If that is what you wish Feb 28 20:46:35 * Molly nods “Do you want that too? You could be an honorary uncle to my children. We could still spend time together, you’d always be welcomed in our home” Feb 28 20:47:05 I'm not sure that'd be appropriate Feb 28 20:47:11 Why not? Feb 28 20:47:55 Because you would be married Feb 28 20:48:38 You’d be friends with Horatio too, and when we live in the schoolhouse you’d be our neighbour Feb 28 20:49:23 Maybe Feb 28 20:51:19 * Molly smiles “We’d like that, Morgan, we really would. And you could perhaps see me be a teacher to local children too. I would like you to see me making something of myself” Feb 28 20:52:40 We'll have to see how things go Feb 28 20:53:34 * Molly nods, smiling “Good, I am glad. I know I am a trouble, I always have been, but I’m grateful for your friendship “ Feb 28 20:54:06 You're not a trouble Feb 28 20:55:01 I am. My family knew it, and Lord Jaeger is going to know it. This will all cause upheaval for you all. I do not try to be a problem for others, but I am Feb 28 20:55:51 * Morgan shakes his head Feb 28 20:55:56 You're escaping a life of misery with him Feb 28 20:56:55 I wouldn’t have been happy, Would I? Feb 28 20:57:29 no Feb 28 20:58:26 I needed to marry someone who loved me, and who could show that in the right way, and was even-tempered, and kind, and patient Feb 28 20:59:12 * Morgan nods a little Feb 28 21:00:07 * Molly smiles “You’ll not walk me down the aisle, understandably, but you’ll attend, won’t you? Just like you would have with Lord Jaeger?” Feb 28 21:01:08 That'll depend on my duties Feb 28 21:02:17 We will ask Lady Torrington, of course Feb 28 21:03:09 * Morgan nods Feb 28 21:04:18 * Molly looks at him fondly “I will bid you goodnight, and hope you have pleasant dreams” Feb 28 21:05:15 * Morgan nods Feb 28 21:05:16 Goodnight Feb 28 21:05:37 * Molly goes with a smile, gently shutting his door Feb 28 21:06:56 * Morgan sighs, sitting on the bed Feb 28 21:07:26 *it’s all so quiet* Feb 28 21:08:56 * Morgan drags the bag back out, finishing putting a few days worth of clothes into it before rolling it back under the bed Feb 28 21:09:26 *He starts to feel weary* Feb 28 21:10:23 * Morgan sighs, sitting against the headboard and closing his eyes Feb 28 21:13:20 *He falls asleep quickly, but for the first night since the fire he dreams of something other than the fire or the schattenmann. He dreams he strokes her bare cold feet from earlier, tracing her toes, the lines up to her ankles, and then brushes his thumbs over her arches. She writhes and laughs at the tickling feeling, and he feels fully, genuinely happy. And then he wakes within the dream, alone in the dark* Feb 28 21:14:22 * Morgan grumbles, getting up to patrol the house Feb 28 21:16:07 *he does a very long patrol, missing breakfast. By the time he gets back Lord Jaeger is stood in the coachyard smoking his pipe Feb 28 21:16:53 * Morgan rolls his shoulders Feb 28 21:17:40 * Molly is now known as Jaeger Feb 28 21:17:44 Good morning Feb 28 21:18:13 My lord Feb 28 21:18:42 * Jaeger smiles Feb 28 21:18:57 have any letters come for me? Feb 28 21:19:36 Not that I've seen Feb 28 21:20:05 * Jaeger nods, exhaling smoke Feb 28 21:20:14 My thanks Feb 28 21:20:22 You are expecting something? Feb 28 21:20:30 From my Father, yes Feb 28 21:21:42 * Morgan shrugs Feb 28 21:21:48 The mail coach is... unreliable Feb 28 21:22:21 * Jaeger nods “I will see if Molly has seen anything” He puts out his pipe Feb 28 21:23:43 I doubt it'd be delivered to her room... Feb 28 21:24:08 * Jaeger nods Feb 28 21:24:26 I will wait until she comes downstairs *he smiles* Feb 28 21:24:35 Very well Feb 28 21:25:52 *he nods, going indoors* Feb 28 21:26:19 * Morgan rolls his neck, looking around before going inside, heading for the kitchen Feb 28 21:27:05 *He’s still in there having breakfast when he hears voices in the dining room* Feb 28 21:27:28 * Morgan listens Feb 28 21:27:29 Molly, my dear, you look happy this morning Feb 28 21:28:18 * Morgan carries on eating Feb 28 21:29:05 *her voice is quieter, so he doesn’t hear anything until he hears Jaeger yell: What the hell do you mean by this?! Feb 28 21:29:26 * Morgan gets up, stretching before quietly making his way to the dining room Feb 28 21:30:15 *Molly looks not intimidated, but standing strong. tHe fire in her expression suits her* Feb 28 21:30:57 M: I do not want to marry you. Feb 28 21:32:30 * Jaeger looks livid “You would rather live here, like this, humbled and grovelling beneath your betters?!” Feb 28 21:33:35 M: I am rescinding my acceptance. Feb 28 21:34:13 * Morgan watches them quietly Feb 28 21:34:28 * Jaeger moves suddenly, grabbing her by the throat Feb 28 21:34:49 * Morgan moves fast, kicking at his knee Feb 28 21:35:01 * Jaeger lets go with a howl of pain Feb 28 21:35:11 You! This is because of you! Feb 28 21:35:49 If that makes you feel better... though I doubt your parents would've allowed it anyway... now lets not do anything... regrettable... Feb 28 21:36:26 * Jaeger straightens, Swinging for Morgan’s face Feb 28 21:36:48 * Morgan dips his head so it makes contact with the hardest part of his skull Feb 28 21:37:18 * Jaeger hollers at this, fingers making a sickening crack Feb 28 21:37:35 * Morgan straightens, putting a hand on the grip of his sword Feb 28 21:37:41 You wish me to accept that challenge? Feb 28 21:39:05 No. *he glances at Molly a moment before looking at Morgan* She’s not worth it, Feb 28 21:39:18 * Morgan smiles a little Feb 28 21:39:36 I'll inform her ladyship you are leaving, lest debtors start arriving here looking for you... Feb 28 21:39:49 * Jaeger scowls Feb 28 21:40:00 You read my mail. That is a crime. Feb 28 21:40:32 No, -stealing- your mail is a crime... reading what you left on a table while doing my duties is nothing like... Feb 28 21:42:06 * Jaeger shakes his head “You disgust me, both of you.
