Apr 19 19:24:26 To be with me Apr 19 19:25:08 * Molly nods, looking serious Apr 19 19:25:10 yes Apr 19 19:25:40 * Morgan nods Apr 19 19:27:02 I have never asked to have so big a space in your heart or your life Apr 19 19:27:47 Yet you have it Apr 19 19:28:18 * Molly blushes, surprised Apr 19 19:29:45 oh Apr 19 19:30:05 Oh? Apr 19 19:32:42 I wasn’t expecting you to say such Apr 19 19:33:33 * Morgan nods a little Apr 19 19:34:41 * Molly watches him Apr 19 19:34:59 I’m not trying to take her place, I hope you know that Apr 19 19:36:03 * Morgan nods Apr 19 19:36:04 I know Apr 19 19:38:15 I just seek to make you happy Apr 19 19:38:38 * Morgan nods Apr 19 19:38:39 I know Apr 19 19:39:42 what is it you want? Apr 19 19:40:25 * Morgan shrugs, looking sad Apr 19 19:40:27 I don't know Apr 19 19:41:08 I mean specifically for us, for our marriage Apr 19 19:42:12 * Morgan shrugs, sitting down Apr 19 19:45:33 will we get married in Lower Tawstock? Apr 19 19:46:01 * Morgan shrugs Apr 19 19:46:05 I don't know. Maybe. Apr 19 19:49:24 * Molly looks concerned “But we -will- get married?” Apr 19 19:51:06 * Morgan nods Apr 19 19:51:07 yes Apr 19 19:51:29 * Molly looks relieved “I’m truly very glad” Apr 19 19:51:53 Are you? Apr 19 19:53:01 * Molly nods Apr 19 19:54:11 It will be different. People will not think I’m not worthy of marriage Apr 19 19:54:51 I don't care what they think Apr 19 19:56:47 * Molly shrugs a little Apr 19 19:57:43 I’ve been on the receiving end of their judgement for so long, it’ll be nice to be able to hold my head up proudly and say that you chose to marry me despite my past Apr 19 19:58:56 And that you're nobility and they can kneel... Apr 19 19:59:10 * Molly watches him Apr 19 19:59:29 Will I say that though? Or are we going to keep that quiet? Apr 19 19:59:42 * Morgan shrugs Apr 19 19:59:47 I'm not sure your father will be able to Apr 19 20:01:17 That will bring everything under scrutiny, won’t it? Apr 19 20:02:31 * Morgan shrugs Apr 19 20:02:32 Maybe Apr 19 20:03:10 Will you want to stay here if people start asking questions about your identity? Apr 19 20:03:19 * Morgan sighs Apr 19 20:03:22 I don't know Apr 19 20:05:08 * Molly nods, sipping her tea “It has all become complicated all of a sudden” Apr 19 20:05:37 * Morgan nods Apr 19 20:05:39 Yes it has Apr 19 20:06:57 And we do not know if that Effect will return again Apr 19 20:08:13 I suspect... Rosenkrantz may have an answer to that Apr 19 20:08:47 * Molly nods Apr 19 20:09:15 I hope it was a one-off Apr 19 20:09:24 * Morgan shrugs Apr 19 20:12:10 I do not like being lusted after like that Apr 19 20:14:14 no Apr 19 20:15:17 * Molly smiles shyly “I did like what we did though” Apr 19 20:15:49 * Morgan nods Apr 19 20:15:51 good Apr 19 20:17:10 I’ll be looking forward to a few days time when we can do so again Apr 19 20:18:31 Might be a bit sooner Apr 19 20:19:39 Oh, I thought it was around twice a week Apr 19 20:21:22 * Morgan shrugs Apr 19 20:21:24 Maybe, maybe not Apr 19 20:23:07 * Molly nods. There’s a knock on the door Apr 19 20:23:43 * Morgan sighs, getting up to answer it Apr 19 20:25:09 *it’s one of the footmen, and he has to go to do something in the main house that means he doesn’t return to the cottage until late evening. She’s left him bread and stew Apr 19 20:25:45 * Morgan looks around for her Apr 19 20:26:42 *she might already be in bed Apr 19 20:27:39 * Morgan sighs, eating quietly Apr 19 20:29:37 *it’s not bad. He cleans up after himself as usual Apr 19 20:29:46 * Morgan trudges up to bed Apr 19 20:32:09 * Molly is sat up in bed reading. She’s in a shift. She blushes when she smiles “I was a little tired” Apr 19 20:33:09 * Morgan nods Apr 19 20:33:19 I was a little concerned maybe you'd changed your mind Apr 19 20:33:56 About sharing a bed? Apr 19 20:35:35 All of it Apr 19 20:36:41 * Molly shakes her head Apr 19 20:36:54 I’m never going to change my mind about you Apr 19 20:37:10 * Morgan nods Apr 19 20:37:12 I'm glad Apr 19 20:38:48 Do you need privacy to undress? Apr 19 20:39:26 Uhh... I'll manage Apr 19 20:41:05 * Molly nods Apr 19 20:41:28 I would like a marriage where we don’t have to hide from each other Apr 19 20:42:51 * Morgan nods Apr 19 20:42:51 Alright Apr 19 20:44:07 * Molly nods “I was going to sleep in my shift, but I don’t have to, if that’s not what you like or are used to?” Apr 19 20:44:24 Its fine Apr 19 20:44:47 But what would you prefer? Apr 19 20:45:29 I don't mind Apr 19 20:46:53 * Molly nods “Will you sleep in pyjamas?” Apr 19 20:47:01 probably Apr 19 20:49:56 * Molly nods, waiting for him to join her Apr 19 20:50:22 * Morgan gets changed before getting into bed Apr 19 20:51:19 * Molly watches him, smiling bashfully “This is very intimate” Apr 19 20:52:16 * Morgan nods Apr 19 20:52:18 Aye, it is Apr 19 20:54:44 It’s... I like it, but it seems close in a different way to earlier Apr 19 20:55:49 * Morgan nods Apr 19 20:55:53 Aye, it does Apr 19 20:57:36 what do people usually do? Last night wasn’t really expected, and we did sleep cuddling, but is that what you like? Apr 19 20:58:34 Its been so long, and I'm... not the man I was, so... I don't know Apr 19 21:00:05 * Molly smiles, gently touching his cheek tenderly “It’s alright, we can find out who you are together” Apr 19 21:00:56 * Morgan nods Apr 19 21:01:41 I love you, I am glad you are here Apr 19 21:02:25 I... I love you too Apr 19 21:04:09 * Molly nods “It will get easier” Apr 19 21:04:48 I imagine so Apr 19 21:06:07 * Molly gently kisses him Apr 19 21:06:56 * Morgan returns it gently Apr 19 21:08:16 If your nightmares come, I will be here Apr 19 21:09:49 * Morgan nods Apr 19 21:10:40 I don’t mind you waking me Apr 19 21:12:19 I'll keep that in mind Apr 19 21:12:46 You must be exhausted Apr 19 21:12:56 Must I? Apr 19 21:13:13 It’s been a very long day... Apr 19 21:13:47 All my days are long Apr 19 21:15:07 * Molly smiles “I hope to make them all happier” Apr 19 21:16:04 * Morgan nods Apr 19 21:16:07 I'm sure you will Apr 19 21:18:48 You can sleep now if you wish Apr 19 21:19:05 * Morgan nods, shifting to get comfortable Apr 19 21:21:30 * Molly stays still, letting him choose the amount of the physical contact Apr 19 21:22:24 I'm not used to sleeping with someone here... Apr 19 21:22:48 What do you usually do to get to sleep? *she blushes then* Apr 19 21:23:12 Prop myself up and wait until I cant stay awake any longer... Apr 19 21:23:25 why do you prop yourself up? Apr 19 21:24:11 Easier to get up in a hurry Apr 19 21:24:18 what for? Apr 19 21:24:32 Trouble... Apr 19 21:27:01 Oh... if I move over nearer the wall you could do that Apr 19 21:27:26 If you like Apr 19 21:27:42 I wish to do whatever would most please you Apr 19 21:29:28 It'll just take some getting used to Apr 19 21:32:00 I could maybe sing to you, if that might help? Apr 19 21:33:21 We can give it a try Apr 19 21:34:32 * Molly kisses him again “Tomorrow will be a new day for us, and we’ll work everything out. We have each other now” Apr 19 21:34:41 * Morgan nods Apr 19 21:36:01 Goodnight, liebes herz Apr 19 21:36:57 Goodnight blossom Apr 19 21:38:31 * Molly closes her eyes, smiling a little, and softly sings something he hasn’t heard since he was a boy on holiday in Catterick Apr 19 21:39:48 * Morgan settles, waiting for sleep to claim him Apr 19 21:41:34 *it doesn’t, but by the time she’s sung herself to sleep he does feel much more relaxed, her soft and warm beside him, and where he is free to watch her in a way he never gets to usually Apr 19 21:41:49 * Morgan does so Apr 19 21:44:29 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Apr 19 22:00:53 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
