[19:36] (Molly) **they made their way to the docks and took the ferry to Baden as planned, and got an early start in the saddles of the Palominos towards Innesbruck. The ride has been peaceful and pleasant. It is around 7 o'clock in the evening when they see their house in Innesbruck in the far distance, taking the direct route rather than going through the village. 
[19:36] * Molly smiles at him
[19:37] (Molly) All in all, our intimate tour of Eisen was a success I think
[19:38] * @Morgan nods
[19:38] (@Morgan) I rather think so, aye
[19:39] (Molly) It'll be a little strange, going back to reality and having less solitude
[19:39] * @Morgan nods
[19:39] (@Morgan) needs must, though
[19:39] * Molly nods
[19:40] (Molly) At least our fathers will no longer be able to order us to be apart
[19:40] * @Morgan nods
[19:40] (@Morgan) mind you, that didn't go that well for them last time they tried
[19:41] * Molly laughs 
[19:41] (Molly) Yes, they really weren't very happy, were they?
[19:41] * @Morgan shrugs
[19:41] (@Morgan) oh well
[19:42] * Molly smiles thoughtfully
[19:42] (Molly) I think that might be what I like most about being married...
[19:44] (@Morgan) Not being bossed about by them?
[19:45] (Molly) Being able to be beside you whenever you choose to have me there
[19:45] * @Morgan nods
[19:46] * Molly looks to him, eyes soft
[19:46] (Molly) And you, liebling? What do _you_ like most about being married?
[19:46] (@Morgan) The beds warmer at night
[19:47] * @Morgan shrugs, smirking
[19:47] * Molly laughs
[19:47] (Molly) It would have been just as warm had I simply been your mistress
[19:48] * @Morgan nods slowly
[19:48] (@Morgan) true, true
[19:49] (Molly) But you were right, that it wouldn't have been the same if we'd just taken that path. 
[19:49] * Molly looks thoughtful
[19:57] (@Morgan) Of course I was right
[19:58] * Molly giggles
[19:59] (Molly) Es ist mal nicht anderes ((it is never otherwise- something he said on the Rose))
[19:59] * @Morgan nods
[20:00] * Molly nods slowly
[20:01] (Molly) Just being your mistress wouldn't have been enough. I wouldn't have been _respected_ by those around us, and people would have questioned why I was merely in your bed
[20:01] (@Morgan) Enough about my crazy cousin, yes?
[20:03] * Molly looks confused
[20:03] (Molly) I don't understand
[20:04] (@Morgan) Oh, I thought you were describing Alarice's thoughts on it, but I missed the 'merely'
[20:05] * Molly laughs
[20:05] (Molly) Given that she did not believe any man could actually desire me...
[20:05] (@Morgan) she is, as they say, an idiot
[20:06] * Molly nods
[20:06] (Molly) Though she had me concerned at the time, I think I've come to my own conclusion
[20:10] (@Morgan) Oh?
[20:10] * Molly laughs
[20:11] (Molly) You've more than done your husbandly duty to prove I am at least somewhat desirable
[20:12] (@Morgan) once or twice, aye
[20:13] (Molly) Once or twice a day... At least *she smirks*
[20:15] * Molly becomes quiet, and they're almost at the house when she speaks
[20:15] (Molly) Are you troubled about seeing Edward?
[20:16] * @Morgan shrugs
[20:16] (@Morgan) Maybe
[20:18] * Molly watches him
[20:18] (Molly) Would you prefer not to discuss it?
[20:19] (@Morgan) I think so... I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it just yet
[20:19] * Molly nods
[20:20] (Molly) As always, I am here to give you whatever comfort or aid you ask of me
[20:20] * @Morgan nods
[20:20] (@Morgan) thanik you blossom
[20:22] * Molly smiles affectionately. The courtyard is empty, and bears no sign of the execution of the attempted rapist only a week earlier. There is no sign of anyone at all.
[20:22] (@Morgan) well now, I wonder where everyone is
[20:24] * Molly listens hard, hearing no-one. She starts to frown
[20:24] (Molly) Surely someone should be here?
[20:24] * @Morgan nods, swinging down from the saddle
[20:26] * Molly hops down
[20:26] (@Morgan) in the fields maybe?
[20:26] * Molly shrugs warily
[20:27] (Molly) They shouldn't be actively harvesting for a few more days, the crops won't be ready
[20:28] * Molly looks around. It's so quiet.
[20:28] * @Morgan rolls his shoulders, looking around
[20:28] (Molly) Shall I check the cottages?
[20:29] (@Morgan) we will, I think
[20:30] * Molly nods, leading her horse to the stable. Even Crusader isn't there
[20:31] * @Morgan stables his horse, leaving it saddled
[20:31] (@Morgan) Very very odd
[20:31] * Molly feels her anxiety levels increase
[20:32] (Molly) Definitely
[20:32] * Molly takes a mental stock of what weaponary her permanently-armed husband has
[20:37] * Molly relaxes, and it allows her cataloguing to be picked up by his mind, and he becomes aware that shes concerned enough to think about his weapons
[20:37] (Molly) I'm sure someone must be here somewhere
[20:38] * @Morgan nods
[20:38] (@Morgan) bound to be
[20:38] (@Morgan) of course, if someone jumps out and shouts surprise for some reason, there's every chance they're going to get brained
[20:38] * Molly laughs
[20:39] (Molly) It feels a little like the Torrington Estate during guest season... 
[20:40] * Molly heads to Walder's first
[20:40] (@Morgan) I don't see anyone stupid...
[20:40] (Molly) True... I do rather wish I had a baking tray though
[20:41] * @Morgan nods
[20:41] (@Morgan) best stay behind me I think
[20:42] * Molly does so
[20:42] (Molly) **The residents aren't there, though all their belongings remain.
[20:43] * @Morgan continues searching
[20:44] * Molly keeps an eye on the courtyard whilst they look in the other cottages, but each is the same
[20:45] (Molly) Perhaps they're all in our house?
[20:46] * @Morgan nods
[20:46] (@Morgan) maybe
[20:46] * Molly heads there, though waits for him before opening the door
[20:47] * @Morgan pushes the door open, looking inside
[20:48] (Molly) **nothing is out of place bar a note of the hallway table
[20:48] * @Morgan picks it up
[20:50] (Molly) "Morgan & Molly, Not sure if you will return this evening but if you do, there is an emergency tenants meeting at the village hall. Please come if you can. David"
[20:50] (@Morgan) oh... lovely. To the village hall then
[20:51] * Molly looks confused
[20:51] (Molly) What is it?
[20:52] (@Morgan) an emergency tenants meeting
[20:53] (Molly) Oh no... *she takes a deep breath* Do we have time to get cleaned up, do you think?
[20:53] (@Morgan) best not, it would appear its happening now
[20:53] (@Morgan) stay here if you wish to blossom
[20:54] * Molly shakes her head with a deep frown
[20:54] (Molly) No, I definitely do not wish to
[20:55] * @Morgan nods, moving towards the door
[20:55] (@Morgan) come on then
[20:55] * Molly glances in the mirror, then smoothes down her hair quickly as she walks
[20:57] (Molly) **they quickly saddle up and ride into the village which is also quiet, a few horses tied outside the hall.
[20:58] * @Morgan pulls his coat around himself, almost closed before heading to the door of the hall
[20:59] * Molly dismounts, taking a brief moment to wet her handkerchief and wipe some of the dust from the road from her face and hands before running to catch him up
[20:59] (Molly) **the doors are closed
[20:59] * @Morgan pushes at the door to open it
[21:01] (Molly) **it swings open. The now rebuilt hall is strewn with makeshift decorations, everyone in their best clothes as they yell "Surprise!" and begin to applaud and cheer the happy couple
[21:02] * @Morgan mutters briefly
[21:02] (@Morgan) pick someone, Molly, they're getting brained
[21:03] * Molly looks bewildered then relieved. She gives him a quick glance
[21:03] (Molly) My father. This has his name all over it.
[21:03] (@Morgan) I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to drown him
[21:05] (Molly) **people come up to congratulate them, bowing and curtseying, drinks handed to them, offers to take their coats. Molly whispers quietly to him
[21:05] (Molly) In the Sudlache, it's only fair.
[21:06] (Molly) **David and the rest of their friends are busying themselves with the food and drinks
[21:06] * @Morgan looks at the drink, trying to ascertain what it is, while fending off those trying to take his coat
[21:08] * Molly allows some of the ladies to take her cloak, accepting their well wishes and small talk. She soon gets swept into the crowd. Though he feels that she's still not at ease,  he notices she is perfectly performing her Veisgrafinly duties by being so approachable and friendly
[21:10] (Molly) **Rickon comes careening through the crowd and skids to a halt in front of Morgan* R: You must be really hot in that coat!
[21:11] (@Morgan) I'm a touch warm, aye
[21:11] (Molly) R: D'you want me to hang it up for you?
[21:12] (@Morgan) No, I'll keep it on thanks
[21:13] (Molly) R: *he nods, about to object, when Hildegarde approaches. She smiles, familiar eyes crinkling at the edges with genuine affection* H: welcome back Milord
[21:14] * @Morgan inclines his head
[21:14] (@Morgan) thank you. If we'd had warning we could've at least dressed accordingly
[21:15] (Molly) H: *she nods* That would have been fairer. You look well, a little tanned.
[21:16] (@Morgan) its mostly dirt from the road I think
[21:17] (Molly) *Sorgi has intercepted Molly on the far side, offering his arm to lead her to the food, a fair amount of it, given how little they had in Innesbruck the previous week
[21:18] (Molly) H: *she watches Molly* She looks very happy... *she looks back to Morgan* I suspect you did too
[21:19] (Molly) **someone starts playing music, and people prepare to dance. Rickon disappears off, leaving Morgan and Hildegarde in a quiet corner
[21:19] (@Morgan) what, look very happy?
[21:20] (431) :No nickname given
[21:20] ** You're now known as Hildegarde
[21:20] * Hildegarde nods
[21:20] (Hildegarde) Til you arrived to this
[21:21] (@Morgan) I was... concerned
[21:22] (Hildegarde) **Heinrich approaches** Good evening My Lord
[21:22] * Hildegarde nods, then smiles briefly at the overseerer before excusing herself
[21:23] (@Morgan) you should've known better than to allow this...
[21:23] ** You're now known as Heinrich
[21:24] (Heinrich) Since when has knowing better ever stopped an Eisenman with a goal in mind?
[21:24] * Heinrich smiles
[21:25] * Heinrich sips his own drink, it looks identical to Morgan's
[21:25] (@Morgan) this was _your_ doing?
[21:26] * Heinrich shakes his head
[21:26] (Heinrich) No
[21:28] (Heinrich) **Molly is laughing with Sorgi, Walder and the Schulzs, no longer at all tense or annoyed
[21:28] * Heinrich nods to Morgan's drink
[21:29] (Heinrich) It's ApfelSchlaft ((the very strong apple wine from Sudlachenburg))
[21:30] (@Morgan) could be worse I suppose
[21:30] * @Morgan sips it
[21:32] (Heinrich) **the hall is filled with dancing couples, all dancing in the relaxed way of common taverns, close and somewhat more familiarly than the courtly dances. The wine is stronger than he remembers, and it makes a change from the two bottles of blokners they polished off in Bonn
[21:33] (@Morgan) who turned up, Heinrich?
[21:34] * Heinrich smiles
[21:35] (Heinrich) Your father sent food and wine so that we could celebrate at the end of the harvest. But the villagers took a vote and decided they wanted to make it a welcome home party for you and Lady Koertig
[21:35] * @Morgan nods
[21:36] (@Morgan) I take it he didn't think to send some proper drink?
[21:36] * Heinrich looks around furtively
[21:37] (Heinrich) Well, there is one barrel...
[21:37] (@Morgan) but you've put it aside for yourself?
[21:37] * @Morgan raises an eyebrow
[21:37] * Heinrich laughs
[21:38] (Heinrich) I thought you might want it for your ship
[21:38] * @Morgan tilts his head
[21:38] (@Morgan) blokners with sailors around...
[21:39] (Heinrich) I thought a full barrel would do you a while. I didn't think you'd be sharing it. 
[21:39] * @Morgan shrugs
[21:39] (@Morgan) I'm a generous sort
[21:40] (Heinrich) Most couldn't stomach it
[21:40] (@Morgan) and thats the stuff you find elsewhere
[21:41] * Heinrich nods
[21:41] (Heinrich) I can open it, if you wish, My Lord
[21:42] * @Morgan shrugs
[21:42] (@Morgan) they're happy with this stuff... it could've been worse
[21:42] * Heinrich nods
[21:43] (Heinrich) The women will actually drink this too
[21:43] (@Morgan) I wouldn't say that near my wife...
[21:43] (Heinrich) Why, My Lord?
[21:43] (@Morgan) she rather likes blokners
[21:44] * Heinrich looks shocked
[21:44] (Heinrich) Surely not?!
[21:44] * @Morgan nods slowly, sipping the wine
[21:44] (Heinrich) I don't think I've ever seen a woman manage to swallow it
[21:45] (@Morgan) She has quite a taste for it...
[21:45] (Heinrich) *she spots Morgan watching her and smiles s moment before returning to her discussion with Sorgi
[21:46] * Heinrich looks amused
[21:47] (Heinrich) If I didn't trust in your sense of honour so much, I'd have to call you a liar, My Lord
[21:48] (@Morgan) just as well you do, I'd have to kill you if you did that
[21:48] (Heinrich) **the music changes as do the dancers**
[21:48] (Heinrich) That'd be unfortunate for Innesbruck, I'm told they quite like their overseer
[21:49] (@Morgan) do they?
[21:49] * Heinrich nods modestly
[21:49] (@Morgan) I'm glad
[21:49] (Heinrich) It turns out I'm actually good at something other than beards
[21:50] (@Morgan) I always knew that
[21:50] * Heinrich inclines his head
[21:51] (Heinrich) Well, it is simply because I was given a second chance by a very good employer when I didn't deserve it
[21:51] (@Morgan) keep that to yourself, there's a rumour that I'm very unforgiving
[21:52] (Heinrich) **when he looks again, Molly is in a deep discussion with a white-haired man that Morgan doesn't know
[21:53] * @Morgan nods in there direction
[21:53] (@Morgan) who's that?
[21:53] (Heinrich) The blacksmith, My Lord *David approaches*
[21:54] (Heinrich) D: Good evening Morgan *he smiles warmly*
[21:54] * @Morgan inclines his head
[21:54] (@Morgan) David
[21:54] * Heinrich bows a little to Morgan
[21:55] (Heinrich) If you'll excuse me, I need another drink
[21:55] * @Morgan nods
[21:56] * Heinrich wanders off
[21:56] (433) David :Nickname is already in use.
[21:56] ** You're now known as Forrester
[21:56] (Forrester) Did you enjoy your trip?
[21:57] * @Morgan nods
[21:57] (@Morgan) indeed
[21:58] (Forrester) Good. Molly looks happy
[21:59] (Forrester) **she's now talking to Hildegarde. Though she does look happy, Morgan can see the hint of a frown in her expression
[22:00] * @Morgan nods
[22:00] (@Morgan) she rather enjoyed seeing the places
[22:00] * Forrester nods
[22:01] (Forrester) Are you planning to berate me now, or later? *he smiles, untroubled*
[22:02] (@Morgan) Next time we're both in Sudlachenburg, I'm going to drown you in the lake
[22:04] * Forrester smiles
[22:05] (Forrester) That could be a long time away
[22:06] (@Morgan) Maybe
[22:06] (Forrester) **Molly heads over to them, wine in hand, and her father sweeps her up into a tight embrace*
[22:08] (Forrester) Your husband was just telling me he's planning to drown me in the Sudlache! *he grins, expecting her horror and objection. Molly comes to stand close beside Morgan.* 
[22:09] (Forrester) Mol: I know, I think it's really only fair, given how afraid I was!
[22:10] * Forrester looks uneasy right up until Molly laughs
[22:11] (Forrester) *she sends David for food, then looks to her husband* Are you well?
[22:12] * @Morgan nods
[22:12] (@Morgan) I see you were speaking with Hildegarde
[22:13] ** You're now known as Molly
[22:13] * Molly nods, thoughtfully. She frowns slightly again
[22:14] (Molly) It must be very hard for you...
[22:14] (@Morgan) what?
[22:15] (Molly) I hadn't realised how many similarities there were until I saw Otto's painting
[22:15] * @Morgan nods
[22:16] * Molly gives him a gentle, reassuring smile
[22:16] (Molly) She's a nice woman. Rickon is very funny
[22:16] * @Morgan nods
[22:16] (@Morgan) he is
[22:17] (Molly) He'll be a friend for Varick I hope
[22:18] (@Morgan) hopefully
[22:19] (@Morgan) how're you getting on with her?
[22:20] (Molly) Well enough, I think
[22:21] (Molly) *david returns with food, which they consume quietly, hungry from the road. Rapidly requests are made for Molly to dance, and she manages to put them off enough to draw Morgan to one side
[22:22] (Molly) Liebes herz, the dancing here is more intimate than at our wedding... Would you prefer I do not dance? *she watches him, genuinely concerned*
[22:24] (@Morgan) I was there when you danced with Malwys, its fine blossom... unless you don't wish to, of course
[22:25] * Molly smiles
[22:26] (Molly) I wasn't really _yours_ then though
[22:26] * @Morgan nods
[22:26] (@Morgan) maybe... its fine blossom
[22:28] * Molly takes a quick look around to see if they're being watched, then laughs at herself before  quickly kissing him soundly. People are clapping and wolf whistling as she pulls away and joins the dancers
[22:30] (Molly) **time passes and eventually Hildegarde returns, a tired Rickon on her hip*
[22:30] ** You're now known as Hildegarde
[22:31] (Hildegarde) Are you enjoying yourself?
[22:31] (@Morgan) as much as I ever do, aye
[22:32] * Hildegarde smiles
[22:33] (Hildegarde) You aren't dancing?
[22:33] * @Morgan shakes his head
[22:33] (@Morgan) too ungainly
[22:36] * Hildegarde smiles, looking at the merriment
[22:36] (Hildegarde) Lady Koertig seems to like it enough for you both
[22:36] * @Morgan nods
[22:37] (@Morgan) she's always enjoyed dancing
[22:38] * Hildegarde nods
[22:38] (Hildegarde) She's well-liked here
[22:39] (@Morgan) aye... and you? Do you like her?
[22:40] * Hildegarde looks at him a moment with a thoughtful expression
[22:40] (Hildegarde) Yes, but I don't think we're quite at ease with each other
[22:40] * @Morgan smiles slightly
[22:40] (@Morgan) I think thats pretty accurate, aye
[22:41] * Hildegarde looks a little awkward
[22:42] (Hildegarde) Otto came to visit me, with his picture of Dietlinde. I knew we had been similar as children but I didn't realise...
[22:42] * @Morgan nods
[22:43] * Hildegarde squares her shoulders a little
[22:43] (Hildegarde) If you would prefer I keep my distance, I won't take it personally
[22:44] * @Morgan shakes his head
[22:44] (@Morgan) as I said before, we're family. Its not particularly easy at times, but I'd rather not be avoiding eachother
[22:44] * Hildegarde nods with a smile
[22:45] (Hildegarde) Alright. I need to get Rickon home. Take care Morgan
[22:45] (@Morgan) and you
[22:45] * @Morgan smiles, inclining his head
[22:46] (Hildegarde) *she goes 
[22:46] (Hildegarde) **he sees everyone socialising happily, far different to the way Innesbruck was on the night he first came to the village hall. By a small window, his scarlet haired bride sits beside his first father in law, engaged in  quiet and deep conversation whilst the merriment continues. ((Mtf))
[22:46] (Hildegarde) Otto says something whilst watching her with a surprising depth of affection. He shakes his head at her response, taking and holding her hand. Whatever he says next causes a flicker of surprise in her expression, followed by a gentle smile as she pats his hand and excuses herself.((mtf))
[22:47] (Hildegarde)  The only thing that spoils this pleasant scene is the sharp wave of pain he feels in her emotions, very similar to being struck in the chest. As the song changes, the assembled villagers all move around, and after being bumped into, he loses sight of her. ((Done))
[22:47] * @Morgan frowns, going in search of her
[22:49] (Hildegarde) **he finally discovers her outside, sat on a low wall, knees pulled up
[22:49] (@Morgan) are you alright blossom?
[22:50] * Molly looks up, giving him a small smile. He can see she's been crying, but she looks fairly composed now
[22:50] (Molly) Yes, I'm alright
[22:51] (@Morgan) whats wrong?
[22:51] * Molly shakes her head briefly
[22:52] (Molly) Just something that struck a nerve. I'm alright. We should get back to the party.
[22:52] * @Morgan raises an eyebrow
[22:52] (@Morgan) you know I'll not let it go... especially since I felt it
[22:52] * Molly sighs
[22:53] (Molly) This magic is more curse than blessing sometimes.
[22:53] (@Morgan) why?
[22:54] (Molly) Because I can not prevent you feeling what I feel at times
[22:54] * @Morgan shrugs
[22:54] (@Morgan) I'd choose to regardless
[22:55] * Molly smiles gently, albeit a little sadly
[22:55] (Molly) And if it were the other way round, and I could feel your reactions to the comments made by others?
[22:56] (@Morgan) then I'd agree with you
[22:56] * Molly smiles warmly, then sighs
[22:57] (Molly) I do not wish you to be angry over what was said, or my reaction to such
[22:58] * @Morgan nods
[22:58] (@Morgan) alright
[22:59] * Molly watches him a moment
[22:59] (Molly) Truly it was meant in a very kind, very complimentary way
[23:02] * @Morgan nods
[23:02] (@Morgan) I understand bloossom
[23:03] * Molly looks a little surprised
[23:03] (Molly) You're going to let it go?
[23:03] * @Morgan sighs
[23:03] (@Morgan) I don't want to
[23:03] * Molly nods slowly
[23:05] (Molly) Not telling you implies that I do not trust you though
[23:05] * @Morgan shrugs
[23:05] (@Morgan) You think I'll take some sort of action?
[23:05] * Molly shakes her head
[23:07] (Molly) No, I don't
[23:07] * Molly takes a deep breath
[23:10] (Molly) He told me that he's grown very fond of me now that he's come to know me. He told me that I remind him very greatly of his daughter, and that he can see why you chose to marry me, because you must have seen the similarity also.
[23:10] * @Morgan tilts his head, thinking about it
[23:11] (@Morgan) I suspect that didn't come out quite as he intended it
[23:11] (Molly) He did not mean it as anything other than the highest compliment, and I am touched that he views me so highly. *she smiles gently*
[23:15] (@Morgan) But it sounded to you like he said I married you because you remind me of her...
[23:17] (Molly) I fully accept that it is my oversensitivity to blame. I, of course, have no doubt over your motivations, but it hurt me that people believe I have no merits of my own.
[23:17] (@Morgan) I think perhaps his way of saying it has confused the sentiment of it.
[23:17] * Molly watches him, completely calm but not unnaturally so
[23:18] (Molly) I know, liebes herz. I bear him no malice. I hope you think no less of me for my reaction.
[23:19] (@Morgan) Of course not blossom.
[23:19] (@Morgan) You do share similar traits... I appear to have a soft spot for sweet tempered, kind hearted women.
[23:20] * Molly smiles
[23:20] (Molly) One could argue you favour women who are similar to your mother
[23:21] (@Morgan) but my mother is neither blonde nor redheaded
[23:21] (Molly) So you like women who aren't bald.
[23:21] * Molly giggles
[23:21] * @Morgan nods slowly
[23:21] (@Morgan) thats actually pretty accurate
[23:22] * Molly smiles. She looks at him
[23:25] (Molly) I like to think that if it had all been new to you when we met, and there were no comparisons to make, you would still have fallen in love with me, not for how well I meet a set standard, but precisely as I am. *he can feel in her emotions a very deep-seated sense of self-worth, something he's never detected before*
[23:26] * @Morgan nods
[23:26] (@Morgan) I rather believe I would have
[23:28] * Molly smiles, hopping off the wall. She embraces him, not to seek comfort but to give it.*
[23:29] (Molly) You aren't angry with him, are you!
[23:29] (Molly) ?*
[23:29] (@Morgan) No, blossom, if you're not
[23:29] * Molly shakes her head
[23:31] (Molly) It wasn't meant to make me feel bad, and I'm not sure he'd even realise how it could cause discomfort. To him, it's likely the highest praise he could give.
[23:31] * @Morgan nods
[23:31] (@Morgan) I reckon so, aye
[23:31] * Molly looks briefly confused
[23:32] (Molly) It's very sudden though
[23:32] (@Morgan) A side effect, perhaps?
[23:33] (Molly) I was wondering that. Sorgi has always been quite fond of me...
[23:33] (@Morgan) you did save his life... but yes, I'd noticed
[23:33] * Molly laughs softly
[23:34] (Molly) Am I somehow collecting followers?
[23:34] (@Morgan) like I am? Possibly
[23:34] * Molly looks intrigued
[23:34] (Molly) How do you mean?
[23:34] * @Morgan smiles slightly
[23:35] (@Morgan) HeinzHarold and Claudia
[23:35] * Molly smiles
[23:35] (Molly) Your own personal army
[23:35] * @Morgan nods
[23:38] (Molly) Although, the point stands, there seem to be long term effects to my healing... A level of affection, Sorgi was "summoned" essentially when I was in danger *she shudders slightly at the memory*, and both you and he were hurt when I lost control of the magic in Otto's healing
[23:39] * @Morgan nods
[23:39] * Molly looks worried
[23:39] (Molly) Oh god. Claudia!
[23:40] (@Morgan) She'll be fine
[23:40] (Molly) But her injury was quite serious...
[23:40] * @Morgan nods
[23:40] (@Morgan) I recall
[23:40] * Molly sighs
[23:41] (Molly) I hope she isn't too angry
[23:41] (@Morgan) its tough if she is
[23:41] * Molly smiles
[23:41] (Molly) You'd fight _her_ to protect me?
[23:42] * @Morgan nods
[23:43] (Molly) I think I'll need to be careful about who I use it on
[23:43] * @Morgan nods
[23:43] (@Morgan) that might be a good idea, aye
[23:45] (Molly) Best keep an eye on Ghalen, he touched my hand whilst I was... "Sparkly" as you put it, and it did seem to give him a certain swagger
[23:45] * @Morgan nods
[23:45] (@Morgan) I think that was probably just a minor thing
[23:46] * Molly nods
[23:47] (Molly) I know, but it does not do to dismiss these things out of hand
[23:47] * @Morgan smiles
[23:47] (@Morgan) quite
[23:47] (Molly) **the door opens, and David looks around
[23:48] (Molly) D: Ahh there you two are, sneaking off together! You'd better come back inside I think
[23:49] * Molly looks at Morgan a moment with a grin
[23:51] (Molly) Nothing changes, eh?
[23:52] (@Morgan) I was thinking the same thing myself
[23:53] * Molly stands beside Morgan, smiling at her father
[23:53] (Molly) We'll be in as soon as we please. We're quite happy out here.
[23:54] (Molly) D: *he smiles, rolling his eyes, and shuts the door behind him*
[23:55] * Molly watches Morgan sidelong
[23:55] (Molly) I suspect you might disapprove of that
[23:55] (@Morgan) what?
[23:56] (Molly) Me dismissing my father
[23:56] * @Morgan shrugs
[23:57] (Molly) Do not worry, I'm not keeping you out here for illicit purposes
[23:57] * Molly giggles
[23:59] * @Morgan chuckles
[00:01] (Molly) Besides, I rather thought that tonight we might try making love _inside_  for a change... 
[00:02] * @Morgan laughs
[00:02] (@Morgan) that'll make a novel change
[00:03] (Molly) *she winks, taking him by the hand and gently leading him back inside*
