**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Sep 1 17:36:29 2026 Sep 01 17:36:29 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Sep 01 19:53:32 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.75) has joined Sep 01 19:54:31 I might buy a house Sep 01 19:54:31 * Morgan nods Sep 01 19:54:31 You could Sep 01 19:54:31 I’d keep it nice and close Sep 01 19:54:31 * Morgan nods Sep 01 19:54:34 Its an option Sep 01 19:54:36 * Molly smiles then “That’d be nice, somewhere private. Oh, and I’d buy a big bed!” Sep 01 19:54:38 * Morgan nods Sep 01 19:54:40 * Molly smiles more as she watches from the window thoughtfully Sep 01 19:54:42 * Morgan sits quietly Sep 01 19:54:44 what about us? Sep 01 19:54:46 What about us? Sep 01 19:54:48 well... can you kiss me now? Sep 01 19:54:50 Discretely... Sep 01 19:54:52 * Molly smiles “yes, please” Sep 01 19:54:54 * Morgan nods Sep 01 19:54:58 Now, with the blinds down? *she sounds like she’s playing* Sep 01 19:55:00 It'd be a bit... unseemly... Sep 01 19:55:35 * Molly smiles “then it’ll be a very long two hours, won’t it?” Sep 01 19:55:43 * Morgan nods Sep 01 19:55:46 It will Sep 01 19:55:58 Did you bring a book? Sep 01 19:56:21 No, I didn't Sep 01 19:56:56 * Molly smiles again “I’m not sure what might hold your attention then” Sep 01 19:57:39 In truth, I could do with writing a letter Sep 01 19:58:37 * Molly looks a little disappointed, but then nods “I’ll keep quiet” Sep 01 19:59:20 Talk, by all means Sep 01 19:59:44 who will you write to? Sep 01 20:01:28 a... friend... Sep 01 20:01:58 * Molly frowns a little, but there’s jealousy in her micro-expressions Sep 01 20:02:00 Oh... Sep 01 20:02:37 What? Sep 01 20:03:01 You already have a close female friend? Sep 01 20:04:11 I have -a- female friend but not like that... Sep 01 20:04:23 * Molly blushes “Oh...” Sep 01 20:05:37 If I even looked at her that way she'd beat me to death Sep 01 20:05:52 * Molly looks surprised Sep 01 20:05:58 Why?! Sep 01 20:07:40 Just how she is... Sep 01 20:08:24 Is that who you’re writing to? Sep 01 20:08:51 No, it's not Sep 01 20:09:12 * Molly fidgets, resting against the side of the carriage. She touches her lower lip absentmindedly Sep 01 20:09:57 * Morgan takes some paper from his coat, writing with a pencil Sep 01 20:10:57 * Molly does stay quiet, looking from the window as she pinches and rolls her lower lip Sep 01 20:12:45 * Morgan tucks it in his pocket after about half an hour Sep 01 20:14:47 * Molly isn’t even watching him, clearly day dreaming Sep 01 20:15:48 * Morgan smiles a little, just sitting quietly Sep 01 20:16:46 * Molly sighs a moment before looking at him with a blush Sep 01 20:16:50 Sorry Sep 01 20:17:30 For... Sep 01 20:17:41 I was in my own little world Sep 01 20:19:23 * Morgan nods Sep 01 20:19:26 Its alright Sep 01 20:19:53 * Molly crosses her legs, turning to watch him a little Sep 01 20:20:06 who is your friend? Sep 01 20:21:00 You don't know him Sep 01 20:22:08 * Molly smiles with mischief, watching his expression “Is he handsome?” Sep 01 20:22:55 * Morgan nods Sep 01 20:22:57 Yes he is Sep 01 20:23:26 Is he single? *she looks even more mischievous * Sep 01 20:24:54 Last I heard, yes Sep 01 20:25:20 * Molly watches him speculatively Sep 01 20:25:29 Is he an Eisen friend? Sep 01 20:26:21 What makes you think that? Sep 01 20:27:05 You wrote a long time, that means it’s a long letter. If you’re sending something a long distance, it makes sense to say a lot... Sep 01 20:28:02 Interesting theory Sep 01 20:28:40 And he was single, last you heard... that implies a lack of recent contact, and someone further away would be in less frequent contact Sep 01 20:32:03 I've not heard from anyone in the last place I lived since I came here, and thats not that far Sep 01 20:33:17 * Molly watches him a moment before shrugging a little “As you say” Sep 01 20:35:38 * Morgan smiles a little Sep 01 20:35:43 Sometimes you're far too clever Sep 01 20:36:20 * Molly blushes, watching his mouth “You’re too handsome when you smile” Sep 01 20:36:50 Far from it Sep 01 20:38:06 You are... *she looks at her hands* I thought you were the most handsome man I’d ever seen the moment I first met you Sep 01 20:38:46 You've seen other people since Sep 01 20:39:35 Yet I don’t kiss -them-, do I? Sep 01 20:40:02 True... Sep 01 20:41:00 You are handsome, I am clever, and your male friend is Eisen. Sep 01 20:41:19 * Morgan nods a little Sep 01 20:41:57 * Molly touches her lip in mock thought Sep 01 20:42:52 He’s between twenty five and thirty... Well-liked... trustworthy, honest. Sep 01 20:43:13 * Morgan watches her Sep 01 20:44:00 * Molly bites her lower lip, one that he can almost feel on his tongue again, before she smiles Sep 01 20:44:02 yes? Sep 01 20:44:34 Interesting line of thought Sep 01 20:44:54 Why? Sep 01 20:45:44 You're making assumptions based on what you think you know about me Sep 01 20:46:02 To a degree Sep 01 20:46:34 * Morgan nods Sep 01 20:46:50 So why would he be well liked, trustworthy and honest? Sep 01 20:47:27 Hmm... I’m a little distracted thinking about being kissed to recall... Sep 01 20:48:04 * Morgan nods a little Sep 01 20:49:19 * Molly moves, sitting next to him “Ah Yes... He’ll be well-liked because he’s handsome” Sep 01 20:50:02 Right... Sep 01 20:50:26 And he’s trustworthy, else you wouldn’t write to him Sep 01 20:51:08 First time I met him he was stealing Sep 01 20:52:08 * Molly looks shocked Sep 01 20:52:26 No! You wouldn’t be friends with a thief! Sep 01 20:52:35 Wouldn't I? Sep 01 20:53:30 No, you’re too principled for that Sep 01 20:54:17 * Morgan shrugs Sep 01 20:54:22 Well, thats the truth of it Sep 01 20:54:31 what did he steal? Sep 01 20:56:06 Apples at the time Sep 01 20:56:40 Apples... *she smiles* hardly the height of larceny! Sep 01 20:57:27 Like I said, thats when I met him... he's stolen a great many things since Sep 01 20:58:09 Is he a klep-... Ah what’s the word... a serial thief? Sep 01 20:58:29 He -could- choose not to Sep 01 20:59:04 So you aren’t opposed to a little theft Sep 01 20:59:52 Oh, it's more than a little. I lost count at fourteen horses Sep 01 21:00:12 why?! Sep 01 21:00:26 * Morgan shrugs Sep 01 21:00:34 And lets not even start on swords he's taken Sep 01 21:00:51 * Molly frowns a little Sep 01 21:00:56 why does he do this? Sep 01 21:01:20 Who can say Sep 01 21:01:58 * Molly nods a little “but you have not reported him to the Sheriff?” Sep 01 21:02:15 The sheriff is... aware of him Sep 01 21:02:43 * Molly nods “But he’s not a bad man?” Sep 01 21:03:53 Some would say so Sep 01 21:04:26 But you have forgiven his thefts? Sep 01 21:05:02 Not for me to forgive anything Sep 01 21:05:22 * Molly smiles a little, mischievous again Sep 01 21:05:23 I see Sep 01 21:05:52 Do you Sep 01 21:06:35 * Molly leans up quickly, stealing a kiss “You’re more unpredictable than you seem...” Sep 01 21:07:17 * Morgan shrugs a little Sep 01 21:07:18 perhaps Sep 01 21:07:41 what did you say to him? Sep 01 21:08:53 *in his head- HH: told me he’s trapped in a carriage with a very sexy redhead and he’ll send her my way Sep 01 21:09:34 Warned him that Avalon aren't exactly sending their best and to get word to his local Graf... Sep 01 21:10:08 You’re breaking Jaeger’s secret? Sep 01 21:10:46 Am I? Sep 01 21:11:56 Are you? Warning people... Sep 01 21:13:14 Absolutely pointless... like Eisen doesn't know about it all already, it happened there Sep 01 21:13:31 Then what are you warning him of? Sep 01 21:14:56 Exactly as I said... that Avalons replacement isn't what you'd call reliable Sep 01 21:15:16 Oh! *She looks relieved* Sep 01 21:17:42 Swearing us to secrecy was absolute nonsense Sep 01 21:17:50 was it? Sep 01 21:20:07 Its a realm secret... it'll have taken weeks to get word to Avalon, then another week to get from Londinium to here... Sep 01 21:20:50 * Molly looks confused “yes?” Sep 01 21:21:48 You think the news would stay secret in the country where it happened for that long? When it was an Eisenfurstins son? Sep 01 21:22:27 That’s a ruler there? Sep 01 21:23:04 One of them Sep 01 21:24:04 I suppose that will be very important important Sep 01 21:24:18 * Morgan nods Sep 01 21:25:27 * Molly smiles Sep 01 21:25:46 For a moment I thought you meant you were going to leave! Sep 01 21:27:38 Not what I was thinking, no Sep 01 21:28:14 * Molly looks relieved Sep 01 21:28:28 I wasn’t looking forward to saying goodbye Sep 01 21:29:40 No? Sep 01 21:30:03 * Molly looks up at him Sep 01 21:30:16 You have to know that I would miss you... Sep 01 21:30:37 As I would you Sep 01 21:30:45 * Molly blushes Sep 01 21:30:48 Really? Sep 01 21:32:09 * Morgan nods Sep 01 21:32:27 * Molly watches him fondly Sep 01 21:32:48 You’re special to me, Morgan, in a way that no one else ever has been Sep 01 21:33:35 You are special to me too Sep 01 21:33:56 * Molly cautiously takes his hand Sep 01 21:34:28 * Morgan holds hers gently Sep 01 21:35:30 * Molly kisses his knuckles “Is this unseemly?” Sep 01 21:36:31 Probably, but its alright Sep 01 21:36:51 * Molly glances at him Sep 01 21:37:09 What -would- be very unseemly? Sep 01 21:37:36 More than this I would think Sep 01 21:38:14 * Molly turns his hand and kisses his Palm with an enquiring expression Sep 01 21:38:59 Iffy Sep 01 21:39:20 unpleasant? Sep 01 21:39:48 no Sep 01 21:40:37 *he sees that mischief that only he is treated to before she gently licks his palm Sep 01 21:41:23 Thats a bit much Sep 01 21:42:13 For you, or for hapless observers? Sep 01 21:42:57 Both Sep 01 21:43:19 * Molly looks uneasy Sep 01 21:43:22 sorry Sep 01 21:43:58 Its alright Sep 01 21:45:12 * Molly nods. She sits quietly then, not letting go of his hand, but behaving Sep 01 21:45:31 * Morgan sits quietly Sep 01 21:46:38 *a good bit of time passes before she suddenly blurts out* Do you like me less now I am not taken? Sep 01 21:46:50 Don't be absurd Sep 01 21:49:20 You seem out of sorts Sep 01 21:49:57 A lots changed all of a sudden Sep 01 21:52:06 Just because I’m free doesn’t mean you’re committed to what you mentioned Sep 01 21:52:45 I'm aware Sep 01 21:54:59 * Molly nods “We can go back to as we were, before I fell in the pool” Sep 01 21:56:02 No thank you Sep 01 21:56:42 * Molly looks up at him “you don’t want that?” Sep 01 21:56:55 No, I don't Sep 01 21:57:33 what -do- you want, dear one? Sep 01 21:58:14 I need a bit of time to... get used to it... Sep 01 21:59:32 Well, I don’t plan to find another man to propose to me, so I’ll be here! Sep 01 21:59:39 * Morgan nods Sep 01 22:00:29 *HH: Lassie like this, there’ll be plenty of them, ‘specially handsome Eisen ones like me Sep 01 22:01:33 * Morgan frowns briefly Sep 01 22:03:30 Oh my god! I didn’t mean that I would be waiting for you to propose! I am so sorry, that’s not what I meant at all! Sep 01 22:03:59 * Morgan nods Sep 01 22:04:00 Its fine Sep 01 22:05:03 * Molly nods, squeezing his hand gently. She starts to look sleepy twenty minutes later Sep 01 22:05:21 Have a nap Sep 01 22:07:13 Wouldn’t it be unseemly to sleep up against you Sep 01 22:07:24 Its fine Sep 01 22:07:42 *HH: Be unseemly If she’s up against you and then you sleep... Sep 01 22:08:20 * Molly fidgets a little, resting against him, her cheek to his upper arm Sep 01 22:10:36 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 01 22:25:14 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
