**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Sep 5 10:56:35 2026 Sep 05 10:56:35 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Sep 05 12:44:38 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 05 12:44:40 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Sep 05 19:00:55 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.75) has joined Sep 05 19:01:17 Just got a lot on my mind Sep 05 19:01:17 We could talk? Sep 05 19:01:17 Its alright, I'll get my head around it all Sep 05 19:01:17 * Molly nods, smiling Sep 05 19:01:17 I’ve been to town Sep 05 19:01:18 Oh? Sep 05 19:01:20 I decided to sell the Red Dress. I have added the money to the hundred guilders he gave me Sep 05 19:01:22 Oh... right... Sep 05 19:01:24 * Molly smiles “I have my security now. No matter what, I’ll never sleep in a barn with an empty stomach and a heart full of fear” Sep 05 19:01:28 * Morgan nods Sep 05 19:01:30 Thats right Sep 05 19:01:32 Besides, when will I ever wear a dress like that? I’m not going to be a nobleman’s wife now Sep 05 19:01:34 No... I suppose not Sep 05 19:01:36 I got ten guilders for it. *It’s a bit of a gut punch when the dress she never wore had cost him twenty* Sep 05 19:01:38 I see Sep 05 19:01:40 * Molly smiles “It’s a shame you didn’t see me in it?” Sep 05 19:01:44 * Morgan nods Sep 05 19:01:46 It is, yes Sep 05 19:01:48 What else would you like to see me in? Sep 05 19:01:50 * Morgan blushes Sep 05 19:01:52 * Molly looks confused Sep 05 19:01:54 what? Sep 05 19:01:56 Doesn't matter Sep 05 19:01:58 *HH in his head says: brave, man.* Sep 05 19:03:48 * Molly glances around to check they’re still alone before saying quietly “is it as little as just a wet shift?” Sep 05 19:04:49 * Morgan blushes Sep 05 19:05:46 * Molly gently touches his flushed cheek Sep 05 19:07:16 I... I -care- for you, so much Sep 05 19:07:58 * Morgan nods a little Sep 05 19:08:01 As do I for you Sep 05 19:09:10 I don’t think we’ll get to see each other as much as I’d like, not properly, like this Sep 05 19:09:37 No? Sep 05 19:10:22 We’re kept busy, and at night... well, if we’re caught alone at night there’d be questions Sep 05 19:11:00 Probably, yes Sep 05 19:11:28 It’ll have to be the occasional stolen moment? Sep 05 19:11:48 Well... probably... Sep 05 19:12:02 That’s not what you want? Sep 05 19:12:32 Just... thinking... Sep 05 19:12:58 yes? *she smiles, thumb caressing his stubble* Sep 05 19:13:16 * Morgan nods Sep 05 19:13:24 Considering my options Sep 05 19:14:02 * Molly smiles mischievously Sep 05 19:14:11 like whether to kiss me? Sep 05 19:15:11 Not exactly Sep 05 19:15:43 what then, dear one? Sep 05 19:17:34 Just... I was thinking maybe... you could be with me? Sep 05 19:18:17 be with you where? *she frowns* are you leaving?! Sep 05 19:18:43 No, I mean... as... maybe as my mistress? Sep 05 19:18:54 * Molly smiles shyly Sep 05 19:19:03 You want that, maybe? Sep 05 19:19:36 I think I do Sep 05 19:20:06 * Molly kisses him Sep 05 19:20:16 then maybe I will, when you’re sure Sep 05 19:20:36 * Morgan nods Sep 05 19:22:18 * Molly moves her hand to his neck “I’m honoured though” Sep 05 19:22:33 Oh? Sep 05 19:23:39 that you’d consider a simple, chubby girl with hair that’s too red Sep 05 19:23:54 You are beautiful Sep 05 19:25:22 I’m glad you think so Sep 05 19:26:33 * Morgan nods Sep 05 19:26:34 I do Sep 05 19:30:38 * Molly kisses him again. But given present circumstances it has to be abandoned, leaving both frustrated. It’s a pattern that recurs for a few weeks, Catherine’s needs getting in the way. He gets word that the Blokners he wanted will be in Carlson at the end of the month, which coincides with the anniversary of Dietlinde and Jana’s deaths. He’ll need to decide what to do I Sep 05 19:30:59 if he’s going to still go, and he’ll need to let Molly and Catherine know Sep 05 19:31:25 * Morgan goes looking for Catherine Sep 05 19:33:29 *it’s early afternoon, and she’s in her rooms with her favourite dress maker. The door is open, they’re sat looking at drawings Sep 05 19:33:37 * Morgan taps on the door Sep 05 19:34:50 * Molly is now known as Catherine Sep 05 19:36:31 come in Sep 05 19:36:36 * Morgan moves inside Sep 05 19:36:46 My lady... I wanted to remind you I'll be leaving for Carleon soon Sep 05 19:38:55 * Catherine nods Sep 05 19:39:40 Oh, yes, I’d forgotten. Could you collect my new hat and cloak whilst you’re there? Sep 05 19:39:53 * Morgan nods Sep 05 19:39:54 Of course Sep 05 19:40:45 When are you going? Sep 05 19:41:04 Tomorrow most likely Sep 05 19:41:47 * Catherine nods “Very well” Sep 05 19:42:28 Once I've returned, I'd like to move my things into one of the small cottages Sep 05 19:43:12 * Catherine looks confused “why?” Sep 05 19:44:07 * Morgan glances at the dress maker Sep 05 19:44:18 I would prefer some space and privacy compared to what I have now Sep 05 19:45:02 *the dress maker stands* I’ll give you the room. *she briefly curtsies to Catherine before scurrying out* Sep 05 19:45:23 That was unnecessary Sep 05 19:46:46 * Catherine waves a hand “tradespeople can be strange. What’s wrong with your room now?” Sep 05 19:48:01 Nothing as such Sep 05 19:48:37 So why move? Sep 05 19:49:18 As I said, I would prefer more space and more privacy Sep 05 19:51:13 * Catherine shrugs “I don’t use them. Check with Molly though, housekeepers can have things going on “ Sep 05 19:51:25 * Morgan nods Sep 05 19:51:29 Will do Sep 05 19:52:35 Enjoy your holiday Sep 05 19:53:10 * Morgan inclines his head, going looking for Molly Sep 05 19:53:25 * Catherine is now known as Molly Sep 05 19:54:42 * Molly is found scrubbing the library floor on her hands and knees, bottom towards the door. In his head HH says: check out the view, man! could flick through her pages from here! Sep 05 19:55:03 Blossom... Sep 05 19:55:52 * Molly turns so she’s facing him and sat on her heels. She smiles Sep 05 19:55:58 Yes, Morgan? Sep 05 19:56:37 I wanted to let you know I'm leaving tomorrow and will be gone for a few days Sep 05 19:57:03 * Molly looks surprised Sep 05 19:57:16 Oh? Where are you going? Sep 05 19:57:21 Carleon Sep 05 19:57:39 * Molly nods Sep 05 19:57:49 well, I’ll miss you... Sep 05 19:58:14 As I will you Sep 05 19:58:57 * Molly looks a little concerned “you will come back to me, won’t you?” Sep 05 19:59:24 Of course Sep 05 20:00:34 * Molly smiles “Good. Will I see you tonight...?” Sep 05 20:00:39 * Morgan nods Sep 05 20:00:41 aye Sep 05 20:01:40 In my room, or will we go for a walk? Sep 05 20:01:52 Lets go for a walk... Sep 05 20:02:30 * Molly nods “shall I wrap up warm?” Sep 05 20:03:15 Best had Sep 05 20:03:52 * Molly nods “til tonight then” Sep 05 20:04:59 * Morgan nods, moving on to patrol the house Sep 05 20:06:52 *when they do meet in the courtyard late that night, the air is still quite warm and the night starry. The house is wound down for the night, closer to midnight than eleven, but a bright moon means they’re not completely blind Sep 05 20:06:59 Good evening, dear one Sep 05 20:07:23 Blossom... Sep 05 20:08:59 * Molly smiles Sep 05 20:09:05 Are you ready? Sep 05 20:09:44 * Morgan nods Sep 05 20:09:46 aye Sep 05 20:11:29 * Molly giggles, heading off towards the gardens around the back of the pool Sep 05 20:11:44 I thought we’d want somewhere private to talk... Sep 05 20:12:19 Oh? Sep 05 20:14:22 * Molly just smiles. When they get there, it is very quiet indeed, the walls around the pool making it shielded from the house. The air smells of buddleia, honeysuckle, and as she pulls him close, like roses too Sep 05 20:14:54 * Morgan sighs quietly Sep 05 20:16:34 * Molly watches him. In the low light he can see how she smiles, bringing her arms around his neck “I’ve looked forward to this” Sep 05 20:16:51 * Morgan nods Sep 05 20:16:53 Me too Sep 05 20:17:38 You have? Sep 05 20:18:17 * Morgan nods Sep 05 20:18:24 * Molly steps back, pulling him with her until her back is to the wall Sep 05 20:19:17 * Morgan doesn't resist Sep 05 20:19:59 * Molly stretches to kiss him, gently at first Sep 05 20:20:45 * Morgan kisses her back Sep 05 20:23:58 *What starts as soft and tender soon becomes incendiary. The weeks that have passed since that first kiss in her room have been frustrating for him, his nightmares more often than not replaced by dreams of her.* Sep 05 20:25:57 * Morgan kisses her hard Sep 05 20:27:00 * Molly moans into his mouth, hands going beneath his coat and roaming over his shirt Sep 05 20:28:09 * Morgan pulls her tight against him Sep 05 20:30:02 * Molly grips at his sides firmly, pressing both her breasts and her lower body to his firmly. The kiss breaks just enough for her to stay “I yearn for you.” Sep 05 20:30:13 And I you Sep 05 20:31:42 I want to undress you... I want, more than anything I’ve ever wanted Sep 05 20:33:25 That bad huh Sep 05 20:34:07 * Molly nods Sep 05 20:34:12 So very bad. Sep 05 20:34:22 * Morgan nods Sep 05 20:34:57 Are you similarly afflicted? Sep 05 20:35:41 * Morgan nods Sep 05 20:35:42 I am Sep 05 20:37:33 * Molly shivers at this “I don’t really know much about what happens between men and women, but I think you can do the things together that you’d normally do alone?” Sep 05 20:39:21 Amongst other things, yes Sep 05 20:39:56 * Molly kisses him roughly another minute before she says breathlessly “what things?” Sep 05 20:41:18 Thats something I cannot explain Sep 05 20:42:12 why not? Sep 05 20:42:23 Too embarrassing... Sep 05 20:44:01 * Molly smiles Sep 05 20:44:10 Best show me instead... Sep 05 20:44:20 * Morgan shakes his head Sep 05 20:44:21 Cant Sep 05 20:44:27 why? Sep 05 20:44:52 * Molly rubs her breasts side to side against his chest Sep 05 20:46:13 Its the sort of thing married couples do... Sep 05 20:47:05 * Molly nods sadly Sep 05 20:47:21 Alright. We can’t then. Sep 05 20:47:36 No... no we cant Sep 05 20:48:16 is there anything we -can- do? Sep 05 20:48:22 Not at the moment Sep 05 20:49:39 * Molly sighs “I wish we could. All the time, my body tingles for you” Sep 05 20:50:10 * Morgan nods Sep 05 20:50:11 I know Sep 05 20:51:03 And yours? Please tell me it’s mutual at least, and not just me that goes to be with heated thoughts of you Sep 05 20:51:19 Its not just you Sep 05 20:51:36 how do you manage?! Sep 05 20:52:18 * Morgan shrugs Sep 05 20:52:19 I just do Sep 05 20:53:20 I try, but even afterwards, I’m still not entirely unfrustrated Sep 05 20:55:05 * Morgan smiles a little Sep 05 20:55:13 Maybe once I get back we can see if we can do something about that Sep 05 20:55:46 * Molly nods “I probably shouldn’t have told you that...” Sep 05 20:56:27 No, probably not... oh well Sep 05 20:56:41 but you don’t mind? Sep 05 20:57:32 No, I don't Sep 05 20:57:58 do you... you know... about me? Sep 05 20:58:44 I... don't really do that... Sep 05 20:58:56 * Molly giggles Sep 05 20:59:04 All men do that! Sep 05 20:59:18 * Morgan shrugs Sep 05 20:59:19 Apparently not Sep 05 20:59:56 Oh... *she kisses him again* Sep 05 21:00:18 * Morgan returns it Sep 05 21:00:36 why not? Sep 05 21:01:34 Why not what? Sep 05 21:01:44 why don’t you? Sep 05 21:02:16 Just never have really Sep 05 21:04:26 * Molly nods, smiling as she brings her hands to his hips Sep 05 21:04:38 not even tempted? Sep 05 21:04:56 Now and then Sep 05 21:05:38 because of me? Sep 05 21:05:51 * Morgan nods Sep 05 21:06:05 * Molly gently moves her hands around to his bottom Sep 05 21:06:11 I like that Sep 05 21:08:14 * Morgan nods Sep 05 21:08:16 Thought you might Sep 05 21:09:06 * Molly kisses him again, squeezing his backside Sep 05 21:12:43 * Morgan holds her tightly against him once more Sep 05 21:14:33 * Molly moves her lower body side to side against his, right over his hardness “I wish you could stay” Sep 05 21:14:44 I know... but I've got things to get Sep 05 21:15:32 * Molly nods “I really will miss you very much” Sep 05 21:16:05 And I you Sep 05 21:16:27 I’ll miss kissing you... Sep 05 21:17:10 We'l redress that when I get back Sep 05 21:17:35 Oh I am very much going to hold you to that! Sep 05 21:18:14 * Morgan nods Sep 05 21:18:15 good Sep 05 21:19:29 Might you have decided then? Sep 05 21:19:33 Decided... Sep 05 21:19:49 whether you’re sure you want to ask me to be your mistress? Sep 05 21:20:10 * Morgan nods Sep 05 21:20:18 I need to speak with her ladyship about it really... Sep 05 21:21:16 * Molly smiles, saying something similar to what she said about her bedroom floor “Given that I’d become your mistress up against this wall, that makes less difference than you might imagine...” Sep 05 21:23:15 It makes a difference to me Sep 05 21:23:45 * Molly nods Sep 05 21:23:56 You like to play by the rules? Sep 05 21:24:31 Its... important Sep 05 21:25:48 * Molly nods, but rather than continue down the darker turn of the conversation she kisses his neck with a mouth hot in contrast to the night air Sep 05 21:26:04 * Morgan moans quietly Sep 05 21:28:39 * Molly makes a noise of appreciation, using his skin as a canvas to paint kisses soft, hard, fast, slow, fluttering and deep like brushstrokes from the lowest point on his collar line to right up behind his ear, several minutes of this Sep 05 21:29:16 * Morgan breaks away a little Sep 05 21:30:03 *even in the dark, her pupils look wide* what? Sep 05 21:31:21 I.... I love you. Sep 05 21:31:35 * Molly looks surprised Sep 05 21:31:43 You do?! Sep 05 21:31:58 * Morgan nods Sep 05 21:31:59 I do Sep 05 21:32:09 Oh my goodness! Sep 05 21:32:19 *she’s smiling* Sep 05 21:33:07 * Morgan watches her Sep 05 21:33:16 That is not too much? Sep 05 21:33:30 * Molly shakes her head Sep 05 21:33:52 Not even slightly! I am madly in love with you but I didn’t want to scare you! Sep 05 21:34:21 * Morgan nods slowly Sep 05 21:34:46 Oh god, -have I- scared you?! Sep 05 21:35:14 A little maybe... but its alright Sep 05 21:36:07 sorry. pretend I just said “I love you too” Sep 05 21:36:16 Its fine... its fine Sep 05 21:36:31 * Molly kisses him again Sep 05 21:37:07 * Morgan matches her Sep 05 21:37:41 *it’s somehow different this time, profound, loving and cherishing* Sep 05 21:38:37 * Morgan wraps his arms right around her Sep 05 21:40:46 * Molly brings her arms back around his neck, continuing to kiss him. He feels a single spot of rain on his forehead Sep 05 21:41:30 * Morgan frowns a little, breaking away Sep 05 21:41:33 We'd best get indoors Sep 05 21:42:01 That’s a shame... Sep 05 21:43:19 Don't want you getting caught in the rain and getting sick Sep 05 21:43:35 No, it’s not good for my chest Sep 05 21:43:56 * Molly pulls back to pull her hood up Sep 05 21:44:37 No... Sep 05 21:45:32 *it rains heavier suddenly, so they rush indoors. She’s giggling quietly as they get up to the doors for their rooms Sep 05 21:46:47 I don't imagine I'll see you before I go Sep 05 21:47:26 No, and we’d not be able to say goodbye properly Sep 05 21:48:01 No, we wouldn't Sep 05 21:49:37 * Molly kisses his cheek “goodnight and goodbye then, my love” Sep 05 21:50:51 * Morgan inclines his head Sep 05 21:50:54 I'll see you in a few days Sep 05 21:51:19 * Molly nods, smiling “I hope it doesn’t take you too long to get to sleep” Sep 05 21:51:30 * Morgan shrugs Sep 05 21:51:32 We'll see Sep 05 21:51:56 I’ll be thinking of you... *she opens her door* Sep 05 21:53:00 And I you Sep 05 21:53:14 * Molly smiles with mischief Sep 05 21:53:20 not in quite the same way Sep 05 21:53:44 * Morgan blushes Sep 05 21:53:46 Goodnight blossom Sep 05 21:54:03 * Molly blows him a kiss before going in Sep 05 21:54:21 * Morgan heads off to patrol Sep 05 21:58:38 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 05 21:59:12 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Sep 05 21:59:54 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 05 22:05:50 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
