**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Aug 9 12:36:37 2026 Aug 09 12:36:37 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Aug 09 15:55:23 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.75) has joined Aug 09 15:56:01 Just... brooding, I suppose Aug 09 15:56:01 * Morgan nods Aug 09 15:56:01 Thats understandable Aug 09 15:56:01 * Molly sighs “nothing can be done about it” Aug 09 15:56:01 For a change, it probably is just a coincidence Aug 09 15:56:03 yes, I suppose so. What will we do with Mina? Aug 09 15:56:05 * Morgan shrugs Aug 09 15:56:07 I might mention the date to Edward, perhaps she will want to talk to you Aug 09 15:56:09 * Molly nods, stroking once more “Yes, I can do that” Aug 09 15:56:11 * Morgan nods Aug 09 15:56:13 we’ll leave a note. Poor Mina Aug 09 15:56:15 * Morgan nods Aug 09 15:56:17 aye Aug 09 15:56:19 * Molly nuzzles against his chest Aug 09 15:56:21 this is not the happy reconnection we hoped for... Aug 09 15:56:23 no Aug 09 15:56:25 I’m sorry for that. I wanted it to be romantic, even sensual Aug 09 15:56:27 I just wanted to be close Aug 09 15:56:31 * Molly nods a little “Yes” Aug 09 15:57:22 Perhaps your dreams will be better now you’re home Aug 09 15:58:09 * Morgan shrugs Aug 09 15:58:12 Hasn't usually been the case Aug 09 15:59:45 No... and if it meant you missed something important... Aug 09 16:00:58 * Morgan nods Aug 09 16:00:59 exactly Aug 09 16:01:54 * Molly snuggles up closer Aug 09 16:02:08 But just a few nice nights would be lovely Aug 09 16:02:21 * Morgan nods Aug 09 16:02:23 Aye it would Aug 09 16:03:57 it’s playing on your mind, it seems Aug 09 16:04:30 * Morgan shrugs Aug 09 16:04:40 Just that I don't hold out any hope of it Aug 09 16:05:26 No, I know Aug 09 16:06:22 * Morgan nods Aug 09 16:06:56 what else did Edward say? Aug 09 16:07:43 Potts family are coming to the wedding Aug 09 16:08:33 * Molly groans Aug 09 16:08:37 All of them?! Aug 09 16:08:56 apparently Aug 09 16:10:32 I have heard bad things about them Aug 09 16:11:09 * Morgan nods Aug 09 16:11:23 Me too... I think we need to be obvious about our acceptance of him Aug 09 16:12:18 * Molly lifts her head to look at him, then quickly kisses his lips before smiling “My my, mon petit chou, how the tables have turned...” Aug 09 16:12:50 * Morgan shrugs Aug 09 16:14:16 You like him now? Aug 09 16:15:07 Not particularly Aug 09 16:16:40 then why, my love? Aug 09 16:17:07 Because he deserved better Aug 09 16:19:11 * Molly nods Aug 09 16:19:32 We can make him welcome and keep him company Aug 09 16:19:43 * Morgan nods Aug 09 16:19:51 After what he risked for my father, he deserves at least that Aug 09 16:21:12 * Molly nods Aug 09 16:21:24 He is brave, if not respectable? Aug 09 16:23:56 * Morgan nods Aug 09 16:24:02 He is product of his upbringing Aug 09 16:24:26 mmm... I think we all are, to some degree Aug 09 16:25:03 * Morgan nods Aug 09 16:26:24 I don’t look forward to Angelique again Aug 09 16:27:00 No, nor do I. She is quite unpleasant Aug 09 16:29:01 She’s an unrelenting gossip Aug 09 16:29:33 * Morgan nods Aug 09 16:29:36 Could be useful then Aug 09 16:31:04 * Molly smiles sweetly Aug 09 16:31:19 yes, perhaps you should spend some time with her... Aug 09 16:31:48 Might be worthwhile Aug 09 16:33:35 * Molly watches him a moment before settling back against him Aug 09 16:33:47 Will you meet his brothers and sister? Aug 09 16:34:39 If I must Aug 09 16:35:50 Even the one from my dream who was... being intimate with another man’s wife? Aug 09 16:36:33 I don't suspect I'll get much choice Aug 09 16:37:57 * Molly smiles “As a Duke, you can just ignore them” Aug 09 16:39:03 Unless his Grace sticks his nose in Aug 09 16:40:05 * Molly nods a little. At his side he gets kicked Aug 09 16:40:16 Yes, hello to you as well Aug 09 16:40:31 Maybe we’ll just be polite but absent. Did you wish to hear him? Aug 09 16:41:51 * Morgan nods Aug 09 16:41:52 Please Aug 09 16:43:08 * Molly shifts, lying on her back Aug 09 16:43:37 * Morgan moves, putting his ear to her tummy Aug 09 16:46:18 *he can hear the heartbeat strongly, and feel movement beneath his cheek. There’s also no missing the pregnancy scent, mixed with that of arousal, but she just lays relaxed and warm, yawning a moment Aug 09 16:46:41 Hello little man Aug 09 16:48:28 *theres a kick against his jaw Aug 09 16:48:42 He’s getting more active by the day Aug 09 16:49:08 So I see Aug 09 16:51:39 * Molly gently strokes his hair, staying quiet so he can interact with the baby Aug 09 16:53:17 * Morgan gently taps against her skin Aug 09 16:56:52 *he gets a couple of kicks Aug 09 16:57:50 * Morgan smiles, rubbing in that spot Aug 09 16:58:13 *he gets kicked again Aug 09 16:58:39 It won’t be long until he is here. Once the summer is gone... Aug 09 16:59:06 * Morgan nods Aug 09 16:59:09 Aye, its not long now Aug 09 17:01:48 I still hope he will be early Aug 09 17:07:42 * Morgan nods Aug 09 17:07:44 It is what it is Aug 09 17:36:56 * Molly has quit (Ping Timeout) Aug 09 18:48:03 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.75) has joined Aug 09 18:49:11 He’s getting more active by the day Aug 09 18:49:11 So I see Aug 09 18:49:11 * Molly gently strokes his hair, staying quiet so he can interact with the baby Aug 09 18:49:11 * Morgan gently taps against her skin Aug 09 18:49:11 *he gets a couple of kicks Aug 09 18:49:13 * Morgan smiles, rubbing in that spot Aug 09 18:49:15 *he gets kicked again Aug 09 18:49:17 It won’t be long until he is here.

There’s nothing I can do to make that happen...” Aug 09 18:51:02 It'd be too risky Aug 09 18:51:56 * Molly nods Aug 09 18:52:33 Apparently there are intimate things that can encourage it gently Aug 09 18:53:23 Oh? Aug 09 18:55:32 nothing too out of the ordinary Aug 09 18:56:26 * Morgan nods Aug 09 18:58:05 * Molly smiles “we’ll talk about it more another time” Aug 09 18:58:12 * Morgan nods Aug 09 18:58:13 Alright love Aug 09 18:59:30 *he gets time to just relax and to interact with the baby a while, but just as they’re about to get dressed there’s a knock on the door Aug 09 19:00:21 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.75) has left Aug 09 19:02:36 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.75) has joined Aug 09 19:03:03 Who is it?
