He can still smell the balm from earlier, stronger than her scent Aug 07 20:03:56 This is the best place to spend Quiet Hour Aug 07 20:03:56 * Morgan nods Aug 07 20:03:56 The other option was to take a walk in the garden... Aug 07 20:03:59 * Molly smiles “the normal garden, not the special one” Aug 07 20:04:01 Well, the special one but jut for a walk around it Aug 07 20:04:03 * Molly nods “we could have, I did not think of that” Aug 07 20:04:05 * Morgan nods Aug 07 20:04:07 * Molly shrugs a little “we’ll find time” Aug 07 20:04:09 * Morgan nods Aug 07 20:04:11 * Molly kisses him chastely on the lips “one day we’ll make a whole day of it, and you can spend the night in the hammock” Aug 07 20:04:13 * Morgan nods Aug 07 20:04:15 That sounds nice Aug 07 20:05:43 * Molly nods, watching him “you’d like to? I can make some arrangements for us to spend the night out there, if you wish it?” Aug 07 20:06:06 * Morgan frowns Aug 07 20:06:09 I just said so Aug 07 20:06:21 I meant tonight, my love Aug 07 20:06:33 If you like Aug 07 20:07:12 * Molly nods slightly “Is something amiss with you?” Aug 07 20:07:30 No, but you keep questioning when I say things Aug 07 20:07:53 You seem... distant. Aug 07 20:08:22 Because you keep questioning me when I say something Aug 07 20:09:06 * Molly nods a little Aug 07 20:09:15 Alright, liebes herz Aug 07 20:10:14 * Morgan nods a little Aug 07 20:14:08 * Molly shifts, bringing her forehead to his and saying softly “I love you, so very much” Aug 07 20:15:08 And I you Aug 07 20:16:16 I’m glad you’re home, it’s not the same without you Aug 07 20:17:17 Quieter I would imagine Aug 07 20:19:15 * Molly briefly kisses his cheek before moving back enough to look at him with a smirk Aug 07 20:19:30 The bedroom is definitely quieter when I’m alone Aug 07 20:19:56 * Morgan nods Aug 07 20:19:58 I snore Aug 07 20:21:31 * Molly shakes her head Aug 07 20:21:39 nope, it isn’t that... Aug 07 20:22:57 No? Aug 07 20:23:47 * Molly shakes her head with a playful smile “nuh uh” Aug 07 20:24:17 * Morgan shrugs Aug 07 20:28:30 * Molly smiles, speaking quietly “It’s because when I am -alone- and peak with your name on my tongue, it comes out as a whisper, not a scream” Aug 07 20:28:41 * Morgan blushes Aug 07 20:29:46 * Molly giggles Aug 07 20:31:27 Caught you off-guard, mon petit chou? Aug 07 20:31:39 * Morgan nods Aug 07 20:31:41 Have a bit, yeah Aug 07 20:34:11 * Molly smiles, shuffling down so she has her head on his chest, bump against his hip “I am sorry if it was unwelcome” Aug 07 20:34:58 Its fine love Aug 07 20:35:45 I think tonight, whether we are inside or outside, we should try to ward off your nightmares Aug 07 20:36:38 No thank you Aug 07 20:36:50 whyever not? Aug 07 20:37:16 Because it means you trying to have it, and that is not acceptable Aug 07 20:38:33 we could try meditation, tobacco, and the balm Aug 07 20:39:00 * Morgan nods Aug 07 20:39:10 Exercises in futility, but we can try Aug 07 20:39:52 but not me taking it from you? Aug 07 20:40:29 No Aug 07 20:43:25 * Molly nods a little Aug 07 20:43:39 I just yearn for your comfort and happiness Aug 07 20:44:22 I know love Aug 07 20:45:50 how was Edward? Aug 07 20:46:08 grumpy Aug 07 20:48:01 He is still angry with me? Aug 07 20:49:06 He was, yes Aug 07 20:50:52 did you tell him off, my love? Aug 07 20:51:48 Merely made him aware of my... dissatisfaction with his behaviour about it Aug 07 20:53:11 I do very much like it when you are protective Aug 07 20:54:18 * Morgan nods Aug 07 20:55:54 * Molly gently strokes his flank “has he calmed now?” Aug 07 20:56:35 * Morgan nods Aug 07 20:56:36 some Aug 07 20:56:44 Until I told him to threaten the priests Aug 07 20:58:24 why would he do that? Aug 07 20:59:30 They won't agree to a secular wedding Aug 07 21:00:16 * Molly sighs Aug 07 21:00:19 Oh dear Aug 07 21:01:05 * Morgan nods Aug 07 21:03:29 So I suggested he threatens them Aug 07 21:03:34 what does His Grace want? Aug 07 21:05:24 Whole reason he asked Edward to deal with it was so he didn't have to Aug 07 21:06:12 Hmm... that is not something I like in a leader Aug 07 21:06:32 * Morgan shrugs Aug 07 21:08:15 I prefer men who make the hard choices themselves Aug 07 21:08:42 * Morgan nods Aug 07 21:08:43 I know Aug 07 21:09:50 what will Edward do? Aug 07 21:10:08 He's going to do as I advised Aug 07 21:11:46 * Molly nods Aug 07 21:11:48 Good Aug 07 21:12:55 We'll see how it goes Aug 07 21:14:09 * Molly nods Aug 07 21:14:19 Do you wish to go early? Aug 07 21:14:55 I'll find out how his threatening went tomorrow Aug 07 21:16:38 * Molly nods “yes, my love. It is troubling you though?” Aug 07 21:17:02 What? Aug 07 21:19:11 Edward’s problem Aug 07 21:19:39 Which one? Aug 07 21:19:56 with the priests. he has others? Aug 07 21:20:46 Several... he wishes I was there to deal with the priests since its more in my wheelhouse Aug 07 21:21:48 * Molly nods Aug 07 21:21:56 you are very persuasive Aug 07 21:22:36 * Morgan shrugs Aug 07 21:22:48 I've told him how I'd do it, what he does with that is up to him Aug 07 21:24:06 you’re keen for a few days just here with the boys? Aug 07 21:24:24 * Morgan nods Aug 07 21:24:25 aye Aug 07 21:25:38 and swimming in the lake, maybe some building? Aug 07 21:27:33 * Morgan nods Aug 07 21:27:33 Aye Aug 07 21:29:08 And share some naked quiet hours? Aug 07 21:30:34 * Morgan nods Aug 07 21:30:35 Indeed Aug 07 21:31:58 * Molly smiles against his chest Aug 07 21:32:43 doesn’t have to be quiet hour. I’m still available to you, all the time. That hasn’t changed because you’ve been away Aug 07 21:33:02 * Morgan nods Aug 07 21:33:07 I'm glad to hear that Aug 07 21:33:30 you didn’t doubt it? Aug 07 21:33:57 No, I suppose not Aug 07 21:34:17 * Molly giggles “ I’m rather easy, hmm?” Aug 07 21:34:30 * Morgan shakes his head Aug 07 21:36:10 * Molly turns her head to look up Aug 07 21:36:15 you don’t think so? Aug 07 21:36:44 No, not really Aug 07 21:38:00 What makes you think so? Aug 07 21:38:07 * Molly smiles Aug 07 21:38:22 You can be quite complex Aug 07 21:39:01 oh... that surprises me Aug 07 21:39:28 * Morgan nods Aug 07 21:40:56 * Molly frowns slightly “You mean... uhh... sexually? Aug 07 21:41:15 No, I mean in general Aug 07 21:42:05 /me nods “I see” Aug 07 21:42:24 * Morgan nods Aug 07 21:43:45 I will always try to be less complex, if there’s something that you’re finding tough to understand Aug 07 21:44:15 No, I think I'll manage Aug 07 21:48:35 * Molly smiles, shaking her head “you like the complexity?” Aug 07 21:50:13 Most of the time Aug 07 21:51:17 But you cannot give examples? Aug 07 21:51:27 No, not really Aug 07 21:53:27 * Molly smiles, kissing him briefly “very well, my love” Aug 07 21:54:16 * Morgan nods a little Aug 07 21:56:46 but in the bedroom, you know I am very simple? Aug 07 21:56:53 Are you? Aug 07 21:57:08 * Molly nods Aug 07 21:57:27 Anytime. I’ll never turn you away. Aug 07 21:58:13 * Morgan nods Aug 07 21:59:14 * Molly nods a moment before resting her head back over his heart Aug 07 21:59:18 How is Mina? Aug 07 21:59:55 * Morgan frowns Aug 07 22:00:09 She has misgivings about visiting later in the year... the anniversary of losing her mother... Aug 07 22:01:30 * Molly sighs Aug 07 22:01:33 Oh... Aug 07 22:03:02 * Morgan nods Aug 07 22:03:55 it is a few days after my birthday, isn’t it? Aug 07 22:04:02 * Morgan nods Aug 07 22:04:04 Yes it is Aug 07 22:04:16 *Edward said it was July 24th, 1654* Aug 07 22:04:38 July 24th, fifty four Aug 07 22:05:20 * Molly ‘s breath pauses just a moment Aug 07 22:06:06 What? Aug 07 22:06:36 That’s the day my sister died too Aug 07 22:07:48 I see Aug 07 22:09:33 That’s an odd coincidence... Aug 07 22:09:58 Isn't it Aug 07 22:11:20 yes... *he can feel how she’s no longer stroking his skin, fingers still* Aug 07 22:11:35 * Morgan pulls her to him Aug 07 22:11:39 Its alright Aug 07 22:14:05 * Molly nods “I’m okay...” Aug 07 22:14:47 Doesn't feel like it Aug 07 22:15:48 Just... brooding, I suppose Aug 07 22:16:14 * Morgan nods Aug 07 22:16:18 Thats understandable Aug 07 22:17:27 * Molly sighs “nothing can be done about it” Aug 07 22:17:47 For a change, it probably is just a coincidence Aug 07 22:19:30 yes, I suppose so. What will we do with Mina? Aug 07 22:20:48 * Morgan shrugs Aug 07 22:21:00 I might mention the date to Edward, perhaps she will want to talk to you Aug 07 22:22:13 * Molly nods, stroking once more “Yes, I can do that” Aug 07 22:22:20 * Morgan nods Aug 07 22:24:25 we’ll leave a note. Poor Mina Aug 07 22:25:28 * Morgan nods Aug 07 22:25:31 aye Aug 07 22:26:54 * Molly nuzzles against his chest Aug 07 22:31:00 this is not the happy reconnection we hoped for... Aug 07 22:31:34 no Aug 07 22:35:06 I’m sorry for that. I wanted it to be romantic, even sensual Aug 07 22:35:39 I just wanted to be close Aug 07 22:36:25 * Molly nods a little “Yes” Aug 07 22:38:18 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Aug 07 23:29:13 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
