Aug 16 16:47:11 * Uinise nods Aug 16 16:47:13 That the gods CAN be with us, but yours doesn’t? Aug 16 16:47:17 * Morgan nods Aug 16 16:47:19 I would be sad too Aug 16 16:47:21 * Morgan nods Aug 16 16:47:23 If you lived in Capperlucia, would you change your religion? Aug 16 16:47:25 * Morgan shakes his head Aug 16 16:47:27 Its like... loving a parent who is absent... Aug 16 16:47:29 * Uinise nods “That is sad” Aug 16 16:49:46 *she walks with him to the kitchen where they get coffee.

Aug 16 16:56:41 *A couple of kitchen maid watch her with surprise at her asking it of him* Aug 16 16:56:57 * Morgan nods Aug 16 16:57:08 Of course... bit heavy to be taking all at once... Aug 16 16:58:25 * Enndelin opens the door for him. She doesn’t seem to notice the whispering Aug 16 16:58:48 * Morgan thanks her, carrying it out Aug 16 17:00:47 * Enndelin smiles “Thanks, my Lord. Nick’s still here, once I’m done I can spend time with him” Aug 16 17:01:46 * Morgan nods Aug 16 17:01:55 No doubt he'll be thrilled to see you Aug 16 17:02:57 * Enndelin nods “they’re reading the banns tomorrow, are you coming to Kempten?” Aug 16 17:03:51 Might do, aye Aug 16 17:04:35 * Enndelin smiles “will you come to our wedding, my Lord?” Aug 16 17:06:14 I'd like to... we -should- be back by then Aug 16 17:06:33 we’d like that too Aug 16 17:08:02 *the lines already have varick and Emil’s clothes and some nappy cloths on there. it also has Molly’s Capperlucian clothes from swimming yesterday, less fabric in them than in Varick’s shirts. The breeze is mild Aug 16 17:08:29 I hope you don’t mind me asking you to carry it, the other servants say we shouldn’t Aug 16 17:08:42 I noticed the whispering... Aug 16 17:10:54 * Enndelin nods Aug 16 17:11:08 It’s a bit different for me here Aug 16 17:11:19 Oh? Aug 16 17:13:00 I’m polite, and I do the job, but I’m not subservient to men above me in the same way Aug 16 17:13:30 * Morgan nods Aug 16 17:13:36 I suppose you're right there Aug 16 17:14:25 * Enndelin nods Aug 16 17:15:26 I’m glad I don’t do that job now, but I guess i’m not as impressed by nobility as other women are, because I know that there’s much less difference between us Aug 16 17:16:02 * Morgan nods Aug 16 17:16:06 Very little, really Aug 16 17:18:36 * Enndelin nods “But they think I’m odd, and some think I’m going to seduce their husbands or suitors” Aug 16 17:19:23 They'll abandon that idea once they get to know you Aug 16 17:20:27 * Enndelin nods, smiling Aug 16 17:20:39 I’ve got no eyes for anyone but Nicky Aug 16 17:20:50 * Morgan nods Aug 16 17:20:53 Its fairly obvious Aug 16 17:23:12 * Enndelin smiles. They get to the line “A bit like you and Her Excellency?” Aug 16 17:23:29 * Morgan nods Aug 16 17:23:33 I suppose you could say that yes Aug 16 17:25:05 That’s nice. Not many men are properly faithful Aug 16 17:25:26 *she picks out one of the sheets and pegs it to the line* Aug 16 17:25:54 No? Aug 16 17:27:32 Most of the men who go to brothels are already married or have sweethearts Aug 16 17:29:11 * Morgan nods Aug 16 17:29:13 Thats rather sad Aug 16 17:29:31 * Enndelin nods, pegging again Aug 16 17:29:46 At least I know Nicky isn’t that sort Aug 16 17:30:09 * Morgan nods Aug 16 17:30:14 He's utterly devoted to you Aug 16 17:31:37 * Enndelin smiles happily Aug 16 17:31:57 He loves me more than architecture, he says Aug 16 17:33:03 Thats saying something Aug 16 17:34:40 * Enndelin nods Aug 16 17:35:09 I’m lucky, not every man would have a working girl as a wife Aug 16 17:36:50 * Morgan nods Aug 16 17:36:53 I suppose so Aug 16 17:37:39 * Enndelin pegs some more Aug 16 17:38:15 Thanks for bringing the basket Aug 16 17:38:33 * Morgan smiles Aug 16 17:38:39 'S alright love.

He’s getting Varick to help him with the fence building. Inga is playing with Emil on the grass. Molly is stood talking to Nick, now in the maternity trousers that Stef made that button snuggly to her bump. Before he even catches it, his brain reminds him that these navy blue trousers have the access in them that she first came up with when the left Fischler the first time. She looks interested in what Nick is saying Aug 16 19:05:51 * Morgan blinks, looking around Aug 16 19:08:47 *The workmen are still working over on the foundations for Elsie’s house.

Aug 16 19:14:35 * Morgan nods, heading to him Aug 16 19:17:00 *he quickly gets pulled in to building the fence. It’s a lot like the one he built at the cottage,so it’s not difficult, and he and HH work together well. Varick works with them for a while, but then goes indoors with Molly, Inga, and Emil for the boys to have their tea.

Aug 16 20:17:30 Just where oranges grow isn't it? Aug 16 20:18:58 *Molly nods* they’re hard to grow, even in a hot house, but Nick has an idea Aug 16 20:19:44 That surprises me little Aug 16 20:21:14 *He sips her coffee, rubbing her bump* He thinks there’s a way to position it so that the heat of the kitchen would be put into it, maintaining a regular ingress of warmth Aug 16 20:21:57 HH: $regular ingress of warmth is why your wife looks like she’s eaten a massive orange$ Aug 16 20:22:22 And how is that different to a hot house? Aug 16 20:23:10 M: The hot house isn’t being supplemented, it’s just getting hot from the sunlight above and then the heat is trapped inside Aug 16 20:23:23 Right... Aug 16 20:25:13 M: *she smiles* As I say, just curious... Aug 16 20:26:05 * Morgan nods Aug 16 20:28:01 V: In our hothouse will we get big flowers?
