13[3:18am] * Molly follows him after a minute or so. She stands in the doorway, watching him
10[3:20am] * @Morgan sits in a chair, an open book rested against his leg
13[3:21am] * Molly pours the champagne into the glasses, and hands one to him
10[3:22am] * @Morgan takes it, smiling
[3:22am] <08@Morgan> thank you
13[3:23am] * Molly takes hers and slips beneath the bed sheets. She sips the cool fizzy liquid and sighs softly
13[3:23am] <04Molly> What are you reading?
[3:24am] <08@Morgan> an avalonian intrigue novel
13[3:25am] <04Molly> Is it intriguing?
[3:25am] <08@Morgan> not nearly as intriguing as some of Eisens history
13[3:26am] <04Molly> Will you tell me more about the history of Eisen when we travel?
[3:27am] <08@Morgan> what I can remember... though the history of Eisen magic is... interesting
13[3:28am] <04Molly> Will you come and tell me?
13[3:29am] * Molly smiles softly
10[3:29am] * @Morgan places the book on the arm of the chair and goes to the bed, climbing under the sheets
13[3:29am] * Molly lies on her side, watching him
[3:30am] <08@Morgan> my father would go berserk if he heard me talking about it
13[3:31am] * Molly smiles, taking his hand
13[3:31am] <04Molly> Then whisper it to me
[3:32am] <08@Morgan> countries seem to have their own particular magics
13[3:34am] * Molly nods
13[3:35am] <04Molly> like the avalon magic which allows the user to create illusions
10[3:35am] * @Morgan nods
[3:35am] <08@Morgan> montaignes have their porte magic, and so on
13[3:36am] * Molly smiles
13[3:36am] <04Molly> Is healing magic connected to a particular location?
[3:37am] <08@Morgan> no, that seems to be a generalised thing... though, the magics specific to all nations seem to have declined in favour of these... generic magics, healing, fireball throwing...
[3:38am] <08@Morgan> me sips the champagne
[3:38am] <08@Morgan> the exception to that being Eisen
13[3:40am] <04Molly> I dont recall ever hearing of it
[3:41am] <08@Morgan> you wont have... the Eisen magic descended down one family line which died out generations ago
13[3:44am] <04Molly> oh
13[3:44am] * Molly looks slightly relieved
[3:46am] <08@Morgan> I dont really know why it disappeared. I'm almost certain the family line must've continued... regardless, the magic was destructive, withering wood and limbs alike
13[3:48am] * Molly looks shocked
13[3:48am] <04Molly> Thats a very dangerous power for anyone to have
[3:49am] <08@Morgan> aye, it is
13[3:52am] <04Molly> Perhaps they were all killed?
[3:53am] <08@Morgan> I dont see that happening
13[3:53am] <04Molly> Maybe they learnt a way to surpress the magic from passing through their line?
[3:54am] <08@Morgan> why would they want to?
13[3:55am] <04Molly> Such a powerful weapon would be a threat to other magic users. Sometimes, a life without threat or danger is worth great sacrifice
13[3:55am] * Molly smiles slightly, thinking of their own decision to leave avalon
[3:57am] <08@Morgan> maybe, but they could've easily taken the throne... I dont see any Eisen man giving that up
13[3:57am] * Molly looks intrigued. She fidgets to lay closer, her feet touching his
13[3:57am] <04Molly> Even you?
10[3:59am] * @Morgan shrugs
[3:59am] <08@Morgan> I dont need it
13[4:00am] <04Molly> why not?
[4:00am] <08@Morgan> I'm perfectly capable of mass destruction without calling upon magic
13[4:01am] <04Molly> Oh, I thought you meant the throne!
13[4:01am] * Molly giggles
[4:01am] <08@Morgan> why on earth would I want it?
13[4:01am] * Molly smiles innocently
13[4:02am] <04Molly> I'm not sure why you've wanted many things, yet you still have
10[4:02am] * @Morgan shrugs
[4:03am] <08@Morgan> anyway, Eisen would implode if someoen took the throne now
13[4:04am] <04Molly> I'm inclined to agree. Things are still too unstable.
[4:05am] <08@Morgan> too many lords and barons are too obsessed with their own power... they'd go to war if someone tried to sieze ultimate control
13[4:05am] * Molly nods
13[4:05am] <04Molly> It is saddening
[4:05am] <08@Morgan> No point dwelling on it
13[4:06am] * Molly sits up a little, drinking from her glass before placing it on the bedside table
13[4:06am] <04Molly> Is it always so tiring?
[4:07am] <08@Morgan> what?
13[4:07am] * Molly blushes slightly
13[4:07am] <04Molly> being intimate
[4:07am] <08@Morgan> it depends, I think
13[4:07am] <04Molly> upon?
[4:08am] <08@Morgan> how vigorous we are
13[4:08am] * Molly grins
13[4:08am] <04Molly> Alright, I don't mind the tiredness that much
13[4:13am] * Molly reaches up, touching his cheek softly
13[4:13am] <04Molly> Thank you Morgan
[4:14am] <08@Morgan> for what?
13[4:14am] <04Molly> Everything...
13[4:14am] * Molly 's eyes start to fill up
13[4:15am] <04Molly> Taking me in, saving my life, making me laugh, giving me friendship and affection, trusting me, loving me, making me your wife...
13[4:15am] * Molly bites her lip
[4:15am] <08@Morgan> give it time for the shien to wear off, see if you feel so then
13[4:16am] <04Molly> Of course I will. I owe you everything, you've taken the girl I was and made the woman I've become


[1:15am] <08@Morgan> No, I think you'd have gone that way regardless
13[1:17am] * Molly looks at him earnestly
13[1:17am] <04Molly> I wouldn't. I was too afraid of everything
[1:18am] <08@Morgan> Maybe, but you're still the one who's done what she wanted, stood up to those that needed standing up to. That wasn't me, that was you
13[1:19am] <04Molly> I couldn't have stood up to anyone if I had not known that I would have your friendship and support regardless.
[1:22am] <08@Morgan> support is one thing, blossom, but standing firm comes from you
13[1:23am] * Molly smiles softly, tendrils of hair falling across the pillow
13[1:23am] <04Molly> You won't accept that you are my hero, will you?
10[1:24am] * @Morgan shrugs
13[1:26am] * Molly smiles
13[1:26am] <04Molly> You are. You'll not find a way to persuade me otherwise.
[1:26am] <08@Morgan> some people just cant be told
13[1:27am] * Molly grins
13[1:27am] <04Molly> Yes, there are some very stubborn people, aren't there, liebes herz?
[1:28am] <08@Morgan> its part of the Eisen national make up
13[1:29am] <04Molly> As well as being devestatingly handsome
[1:29am] <08@Morgan> tahts where my Avalonian heritage shines through
13[1:30am] <04Molly> Absolute nonsense.
13[1:32am] * Molly pulls the sheet closer around her, then rolls onto her side to look at him
13[1:32am] <04Molly> And now I get to enjoy that handsomeness knowing that legally, you're all mine
10[1:33am] * @Morgan nods
13[1:34am] * Molly giggles
13[1:34am] <04Molly> It feels strange that we're here like this without having to sneak around
[1:35am] <08@Morgan> it is rather... novel
13[1:36am] <04Molly> what will happen when we go downstairs?
[1:36am] <08@Morgan> people will give us knowing looks, probably
13[1:37am] <04Molly> but they wont ask questions and things?
[1:38am] <08@Morgan> maybe
[1:38am] <08@Morgan> direct them to my sword
13[1:39am] * Molly sniggers
13[1:39am] <04Molly> I'd imagine that's where their questions would be headed.
10[1:39am] * @Morgan frowns
[1:39am] <08@Morgan> inform them that impertinent and personal questions will be met with a fist to the head
13[1:40am] <04Molly> I wouldn't tell them anything.
[1:42am] <08@Morgan> I know blossom
13[1:43am] <04Molly> I can't imagine anyone wanting to be so nosy... except for Evie
[1:43am] <08@Morgan> HeinzHarold was telling me there seems to be much sport to be had in escorting the couple to bed and observing the nuptials
13[1:45am] * Molly looks horrified
13[1:45am] <04Molly> who would allow such a thing?
10[1:45am] * @Morgan shrugs
[1:46am] <08@Morgan> thats why they took up station at the stairs
13[1:46am] <04Molly> well they would have had to wait a very long time! I would not have been able to do it with an audience
[1:47am] <08@Morgan> There'd have been murder before I'd allow it
13[1:48am] * Molly smiles
13[1:49am] <04Molly> It was bound to be a little nerve-racking for us both
10[1:49am] * @Morgan nods
13[1:51am] <04Molly> It'll be easier from now on I'd think
[1:51am] <08@Morgan> I would've thought so
13[1:52am] * Molly smiles gently
13[1:52am] <04Molly> we have our whole lives ahead of us to find out
10[1:53am] * @Morgan frowns slightly
13[1:56am] * Molly touches his shoulder lightly
13[1:56am] <04Molly> Whats the matter, liebling?
[1:57am] <08@Morgan> I was just thinking... how difficult will it be to do that at sea, with the pitching and rolling
13[1:58am] <04Molly> You've never done it at sea before?
10[1:58am] * @Morgan raises an eyebrow
[1:58am] <08@Morgan> I was at sea with seventy men...
13[1:59am] * Molly shrugs
13[1:59am] <04Molly> I'm sorry, I just didn't know.
[1:59am] <08@Morgan> at least it wont be in a hammock
13[2:01am] * Molly smiles
13[2:01am] <04Molly> They managed to salvage the bed. It confuses me, but the wreckage was not as bad as it appeared to be.
[2:02am] <08@Morgan> its strange
13[2:03am] * Molly nods
13[2:03am] <04Molly> I'm sure we'll find a way at sea. Otherwise, a year on board is not going to be doable.
10[2:08am] * @Morgan chuckles
[2:08am] <08@Morgan> quite
13[2:12am] <04Molly> Where there is a will, there is a way...
13[2:12am] * Molly winks
13[2:12am] <04Molly> and there's definitely a will.
[2:12am] <08@Morgan> absolutely there is
13[2:13am] <04Molly> I'd be more concerned about the work that will have to be done if Varick wishes to come with us
[2:14am] <08@Morgan> in what respect?#
13[2:17am] <04Molly> The layout makes no provision for us to supervise him. I think we might need to adapt the owner and captains rooms to give varick a room that joins our chambers.
10[2:18am] * @Morgan nods
[2:18am] <08@Morgan> probably a good idea
13[2:20am] <04Molly> Are you planning to captain the ship?
10[2:20am] * @Morgan pulls a face
[2:20am] <08@Morgan> I'm not sure...
13[2:20am] <04Molly> whyever not?
[2:20am] <08@Morgan> she'll need her own captain once we stay here
13[2:22am] <04Molly> we have plenty of time. You ought to enjoy her while you can, I've no doubt once we come back we'll not have chance to do such again for many many years
[2:22am] <08@Morgan> maybe
13[2:22am] * Molly grins
13[2:22am] <04Molly> unless you wouldnt mind raising 9 children at sea?
[2:23am] <08@Morgan> they'd have good balance...
13[2:23am] * Molly laughs
13[2:24am] <04Molly> that they would.
10[2:27am] * @Morgan sighs
[2:27am] <08@Morgan> no, I've comitted to being here
13[2:28am] <04Molly> You wish you had not?
10[2:28am] * @Morgan shrugs
[2:28am] <08@Morgan> it had to be done
13[2:30am] <04Molly> It is in your blood
[2:30am] <08@Morgan> aye... its where I'm meant to be
13[2:31am] * Molly takes his hand, running her finger over his wedding band
13[2:31am] <04Molly> where _we're_ meant to be
10[2:32am] * @Morgan nods
13[2:33am] <04Molly> I suppose we ought to redress before Inga and HeinzHarold come to summon us...
13[2:33am] * Molly sighs
[2:33am] <08@Morgan> I reckon so blossom
13[2:34am] * Molly leans over and kisses him sweetly, chastely
13[2:37am] <04Molly> what a shame...
[2:37am] <08@Morgan> maybe later
13[2:38am] * Molly rolls away, slipping out of the bed and with a smile over her bare shoulder, she disappears naked into the other room
10[1:39am] * @Morgan puts the book aside and gets out of the bed
13[1:39am] * Molly is already back in her lingerie when she brings in his shirt and trousers
10[1:42am] * @Morgan takes them
[1:42am] <08@Morgan> thank you
13[1:42am] <04Molly> I thought I'd bring these through, just in case, you know how-
13[1:42am] * Molly is cut short by the sound of the main door of the veisgrafs wing opening, and the faint conversation from their friends
13[1:42am] <04Molly> -we always get interrupted
10[1:43am] * @Morgan rolls his eyes and puts on the trousers
13[1:43am] * Molly grins, and pulls a dressing gown from the wardrobe
13[1:43am] <04Molly> Do you want me to bring in your jacket>
[1:43am] <08@Morgan> please
13[1:44am] * Molly goes back through. He can hear her talking and laughing with inga and hh
13[1:45am] * Molly brings the jacket, and whispers to morgan
13[1:45am] <04Molly> apparently you've ruined my hairstyle with your waywardness
13[1:46am] * Molly 's hair does look rather dishevelled
